Working with Still was quite educational. One thing that I noticed instantly was that she was using magic in a far more encompassing fashion than I was, doing things with it that I would have used my hands for with her magic. I learned that she had specifically learned an application...

The next day, Dad took me to the hospital, or rather, the small office with its own entrance staffed by a med-tech or two, responsible for calibrating chips for new applications. We had to wait a few minutes before we were called up and, after Dad filled out the required information ...

Finally, almost two hours after school had ended, I was home. It was a little ridiculous that I had waited an hour and a half for the bus, considering that I would have been able to walk the distance in a little over an hour. When I opened the door, I was greeted by our dear dog, Tre...

Watching through Anath’s visor as she advanced into the dark parts of the devastated shopping-maul, I felt almost as if I was watching a horror-movie, just with the difference that I knew it to be real. I almost expected some strange, mutated monster to jump from the shadows, even ...

“Come, friends, the elders need their quiet.” Swiftstride told us, before turning and leaving the room. As we did, I saw a notice in the corner of my eye, telling me that I had gained a massive increase in reputation with the Pack of the North Wind, brining my social status, some...

The light of dawn allowed us to see the true devastation with our own eyes. There was something more direct about seeing the damage directly as opposed to seeing it on a screen, as captured by a camera.
The school-yard we had landed on was on a small hill, giving us a sig...

Why did I have a light feeling of dejá-vu?
Ignoring that feeling, I focused on the two wolves, especially the older, more powerful wolf.

After the initial greetings, Fey guided us into the school, after I made sure to lock the plane. While nobody but me could actually fly it, we had tons of supplies with us and if those were stolen, it would be rather problematic.
Inside the school, we were met with a mix of loc...

After take-off, I mentally went over the eight relatively unknowns currently in the back of my aircraft and what I had seen of them during the short walk to the plane.
Two of them, Pheronica and Metanite, I had seen before, one of them even twice. They had been present during t...

I hadn’t been quite sure what to expect when the wolves told us they would take us to the Great Den. There had been visions of an ordinary wolf’s den only scaled up to eleven in my head but also more fantastical variants, something out of other games, where non-humanoid races had...

I was rather impressed with Technica when we returned. While she was not personally there to greet us, Robert Glint, who seemed to be one of her main aides was there. And he was not alone, there were about twenty workers, despite it being late on Christmas Eve, or rather, early on Ch...

My new toy was everything I had designed it for and more. The software Galatea and I had designed to allow us to control it as a unit worked great, the usual flow of ideas between us even faster and with less of a separation. But that was only half of what made flying it so great, th...

After we agreed to escort them to their den, I took a moment to look into my log, just in case there was something urgent.
“So, what was that chuckle about earlier?” Sophia asked me when we were clearing up after the party. When a couple of reasonably sober people had decided to deal with the bit of a mess the party had left during the evening, the two of us had joined in to help. Neither of us was b...

After the gift-giving was finished, Sophia and I went around talking to a few of our friends. Nisha was one of the first we ran into and she instantly gave me a big hug with a smile.

Kneeling, I took stock of the worst looking wolf. Luckily, it seemed that it hadn’t been downed by the severity of its wounds, albeit they were rather ghastly, but due to the fact that its legs were wounded and unable to carry it further. But fleshwounds were relatively easy to han...

When I walked into the party, I was rather glad that I had convinced the others to keep it a little subdued, the music loud enough to dance to but not loud enough to drown out your thoughts.
“Just on time, as always.” Sophia greeted me, before giving me a soft kiss. 2019-10-21 11:15:28 +0000 UTC View Post
As some of you might know, I plan to write another story for NaNoWriMo this year. There are two stories floating around in my head, either of which would make for a good read, at least I hope so.
The first one," Irminsul", is a Slice-of-Life VRMMORPG-Story, a lot more grounded in reality th...
