Interlude Boarding Party

The young woman did a final gear check, while she waited for the plasma cutter to finish cutting through the hull. She was part of the boarding party, which meant full combat gear. She was encased in a suit of Centurion-S armor, on her belt were a dozen grenades and her side arm, an LP-1230. It w...

Chapter Thirty-Two Reshi, the Riverside Garden

Reshi was a quiet riverside town located on the banks of the Vulkira River.

Fortified manor houses were just part of the farml...

Chapter Two Hundred and Five Vulcan Test Trial

Several figures gathered in the hangar, one of which drew near Countryman. A woman who looked far younger than she really was. Afterall, Eriko Dykes recently celebrated her 59th birthday, of course he wasn’t a spring chicken either being just a few months short of his 199th birthday, next year ...

Chapter Thirty-One New Day, New Plans

Arlie settled into her seat, as the local innkeeper entered the room balancing a tray.

Interlude Hikaru’s Exploration

Hikari stepped through the door and engaged the lock in a single smooth motion. For the very first time since becoming a girl, she was alone. A smile graced her lips, she was stuck as a girl for the night, so she might as well enjoy it and it was practically criminal that she’d not explored thi...

Chapter Thirty Hunting the Soul Snatcher

It had been a hard march to reach the Soul Snatcher. Stopping only once for some rest before marching into the forest near the villages of Ferki, Perin, and Tulk. The night had been largely restless since the two parties were on guard the entire night against Drava Husks, but thankfully the Soul ...

Chapter Twenty-Nine Crossing Paths

It was hard to say how long they had been walking since leaving the temple, but Hikari didn’t think it had been too long. She could sense the divine mana she needed for her new skills hadn’t recovered that much, but she’d yet to sleep either. Having had more time to think about this, she fo...

Chapter Two Hundred and Two Hostile Weather

January 25th, 008 SDE:

Chapter Two-Hundred and One Of Crystals and Babies

With the first loads of minerals being brought in by the mining teams, the council was getting together for a meeting.

Countryman walked into the room, noting the people in the room. He wasn’t the last one this time, but not by much. Chief Medical Officer Robins came in right after him. 2025-10-31 21:53:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter One Ninety-Nine Off Hours

Countryman chewed on his fries as he watched the show. Terri was a young woman, and many of her friends were about the same age. He’d met all of them a few times over the years. They could be quite charming and had their own set of skills. Today, they were doing a magic show.

On stage, a ...

Chapter Twenty-Eight Blessings and Discoveries

A few moments before returning to the temple altar: 

Polca blinked as Hikaru vanished mid-word in a flash of shadowy light. The goddess smiled and turned to her and Eren, “Before you two go. I have a private offer for the both of you.”

“An offer?”

Chapter Twenty-Seven Duality of the Cycle

Hikaru shivered, still cold from his unplanned swim and now rather naked. His clothing and armor hung up to dry. He wasn’t entirely sure where they were either, the river had carried them a long way and down into a tunnel. The only thing he knew for sure was that they were somewhere in the Unde...

Chapter Twenty-Six Why’d it have to be a Soul Snatcher?

“Elder what?”

For a moment he didn’t get any answer as they sat there at the edge of the clearing looking in at an army of naked women with lifeless eyes arranged around a strange tree. A young girl was screaming on an altar before the trunk, strange vines with odd barbs hovering over...

Chapter One Ninety-Seven Council Meeting July 31st, 007 SDE

Interlude Letters and Arrangements

Ixil stepped through the door, and quickly found Ria hard at work at her alchemy station, adding drops of her love juices into a mixture. The young demoness blushed as she recalled how Ria got them, but she couldn’t exactly protest, she really enjoyed it. Even if Ria saw her mainly as a source ...

Chapter One Fifty-Seven World Event

Milith watched as the first shot struck Aurous directly in the chest. The superheated bolt of glowing blue-green plasma exploded on contact, sending flames everywhere. She was splashed with the fire but her skin and scales protected her flesh. Her clothes caught fire. Milith cared not, and fired ...

Chapter One Ninety-Three Hull Breach

The figure slipped around the corner and glanced out into the room. Mangled metal and torn hull plating greeted the eye, beyond that the swirling gasses of the storm. A bolt flashed across their view illuminating the gasses like a discharge of lightning, then another followed. Only it wasn’t li...

Arlie stepped out of the temple to find Aurora waiting for her. The dragon was in humanoid form, naked as usual. She smiled, “Congrats on passing the first test. Now we have some time for a little training before you must leave for the Blue Temple.”

“Training!?” She squeaked.
