Unconnected Snippets: East Meets West

Cai Xi watched from the corner of his eye, doing his best to not draw attention to himself while still observing. The Mysterious Stranger’s presence made everyone nervous, both for his garb and the aura of qi around him. When he walked, the clink of metal rang out with every step. A hat made of...

Grimoire Ultra 7

Class progressed like most high schools, classes were mostly stuff I’d experienced, the only things that weren’t more or less what I’d gone through already being Japanese Literature and modern History. Izumi’s reactions to the classes being taught by Pro Heroes was hilarious, but honestly...

Steelheart (Worm commission) 1

Homeroom could get fucked. Arcadia could get fucked. This entire city could get fucked. Throw in the rest of Earth Bet for good measure. It didn’t fucking matter, not since she’d… Amy pushed that thought aside, lest she start spiraling again. She’d done that too much already, to the point...

Blood & Thunder: Compiled 2

Yi Zhen, Young Mistress of the Indomitable Ocean Sword Sect, kowtowed before the Elders of the sect. Only three of the sect’s five Elders were present, Elder Meng Jin was in the Capitol overseeing the sect’s part of the upcoming Grueling Gorge Tournament while Elder Yi Shi (who was both her f...

Game of Alchemy 10

A silver lining about the timeline that Tywin gave me for heading to Winterfell: the length of the journey, combined with how the Red Wedding had happened before Joffrey had made the declaration that I would be marrying Sansa, gave me an excuse to depart Kings Landing before the Royal Wedding. I ...

A Lonely Eden 8

“You sure?” I asked Jacob. The sixteen year old stood in front of me, his back straight and his eyes firm.

“I am, Father,” he said in response, meeting my gaze resolutely. “This is what I want.”

I took a deep breath, held it for a second, then let it out. I honestly had be...

Blood & Thunder: Compiled 1

AN: This is a slightly tweaked version of my quest on QQ, Blood & Thunder in an Empire of Jade. It is essentially a xianxia story, where the protagonist is from a xianxia version of the Aztec Empire. This chapter contains the first two posts of the quest made to flow better.<...

Webs Betwixt Stars 10

So, it turns out that there was an element to captures that I had missed in my review of the rules. Specifically, that some would grant me retroactive discounts on Defenses I’d already purchased. Jaesa granted me a discount on Mind Defense, which meant that the payout for her was twenty six Com...

Mars, Mass, & Magic 2

Time passed, as it always had. I worked alongside other colonists, mostly doing intern type stuff, practiced my magic in the privacy of my room, and played Daggerheart with the group. Despite living on Mars, the novelty of it soon became, I hate to say it, routine.

But routine didn...

Wrath's Contractor (WC Commission) 1

‘Why do I get these cases?’ the Recruitment Agent thought to themself as they sent the latest Recruit away. It was the second time this recruiting cycle he’d sent a Recruit off with all the signs of their Retinue being the one running the show in short order. First it was the cance...

Neon Mass: Infernal Nights 3

The rest of the day had me doing research and reading up on the world I’d apparently agreed to come to. Much like the demon tailed corporate looking douche had said, the majority looked like it was pulled from Cyberpunk 2077, with Night City, Arasaka, Nomads, Militech, etc. But there were a cou...

Webs Betwixt Stars 9

I know the rule about sticking your dick in crazy, but it’s a little bit different when you’re minding your own business, Crazy walks up to you on the sidewalk, and loudly declares that you’re going to fuck her. Which was how I found myself here, in a back alley on a floating city, arms wra...

Waves of Magic: Paakiga 1, Tobias 2

[center]Paakiga 1[/center]

My fin-legs paddled, pushing my bulk through the water. I was starting to get too big for the shallows, another molt, and I wouldn’t be able to handle the weight of my shell this close to shore. Until that point though, I’d keep combing the surf, finding anyth...

Neon Mass: Infernal Nights 2

“I don’t suppose I can have a name, since that’s clearly something that will never be uttered again,” I asked, my eyes still firmly locked on the scalpel, even as she pulled it out of the chair and it disappeared somewhere on her.

“Either Amelia or Panacea,” she answered as she ...

Unconnected Snippets 1: Eldritch Shimmers

AN: Since my brain is an ADHD ridden muppet with the attention span of an amnesic goldfish at times, you should be aware that this snippet will probably not be continued, and I’m not even sure where it’d go if it did.

It was strange, Silco mused, as he stared d...

To Walk the Whole Way 5

I could see that Bart’s movements were robotic and stiff, almost as if he was being controlled by someone or something. I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to handle the situation.

“Come on, Pete. You think you can take me?” Bart taunted.

I didn’t respond, instead choosing...

A Lonely Eden 7

I was now fucking Eve and Ayla. Regularly, I mean. It still seemed unreal at times. I know, I’d live who the fuck knows how long in this ice age, and having sex with my daughter and her mother was what threw me off? What can I say, we can’t choose that kind of thing. Regardless, at the moment...

Neon Mass: Infernal Nights (Commission) 1

A sharp burst of pain across my cheek brought me to the here and now. I looked up, just in time to receive another blow to the head. About the only thing that I was able to take in before seeing stars again was a fist attached to what looked like an edgy, roided out walking stereotype of a gangba...

Mars, Mass, & Magic (Commission) 1

I opened my eyes to a strange sight—a dimly lit room with sterile white walls and a faint hum echoing in the background. The air felt different, lighter somehow, and I struggled to recall where I was or how I had ended up here. Confusion clouded my thoughts as I attempted to piece together the ...

To Walk the Whole Way 4

Itsuka popped out to the front of the store, and came back a moment later looking incredibly pale, “Joker.”

“Which one?” I asked.

Yes, this version of Gotham was such a shit hole that there were multiple Jokers. Three that were currently active, and the original one t...

Imperium Effect 1 (GEOM Multicross)

27 January 2211
0527 hours, Imperial Standard
IMS Deliverance, in Geosynchronous Orbit Above PSR B1257+12 A
Ensign Kyle Ryder, Imperium Spaceforce

Kyle blinked the sleep away from his eyes as he woke up. Shore leave was ov...

Bear's Beauties: Existential Crisis 56

[center]<<Bear Sandosen>>[/center]

I bit back an amused smile at seeing Nikhol interact with the blushing and clearly nervous Liara. She’d been pretty when she was just an image on a screen, she looked even better in person. More than her looks, there was also the fact that, t...

Webs Betwixt Stars 8

I punched in the coordinates for Manaan and made the jump to hyperspace, rolling my neck. I frowned slightly at the lack of that satisfying snap, crackle, and pop. Stretching hadn’t been the same since getting Body-Tune Up and Body Defense, even if everything else about it had been more than wo...

Sauron of the Vale 1 (Commission, GoT)

Year 12 Before the Tower Lord’s Ascension
Valelands

There were many things about my current life that I hated. Not the least of which, was the fact that I was currently stuck as a baby. Reincarnation is a bitch. Combine that with the fact that my new family, w...

No Evening Chapter

So, I have had to do a lot of stuff in town this week, so unfortunately there will be no second chapter for the day. There will be the usual two chapters starting tomorrow.

Game of Alchemy 9

I have very vague memories of the wedding between Sansa and Tyrion in the show, it just wasn’t memorable enough to stand out for me, but what little I do remember seemed to line up fairly close to what I was experiencing. Granted, it didn’t have the extravagant display of opulence and wealth ...

Return of the Sith 2

Darth Tyrranus, known to the majority of the galaxy as Count Dooku, head of state for the Confederacy of Independent Systems, always did his best to maintain his composure. Considering the state of the CIS Senate at the moment, as Admiral Trench gave a report on the attacks on their outer borders...

To Walk the Whole Way 3

“Where’d you get that?” I asked, pointing at the talisman around Itsuka’s neck. She looked down, her hand going up to touch it.

“Uncle gave it to me, a week ago. Said I was looking a bit ill, that it would help,” she said. I blinked, I didn’t know Itsuka had an uncle. She’d ...

Game of Alchemy 8

I have to say, despite my expectations, Stannis managed to surprise me. The Battle of the Blackwater, as it would come to be known in my original world, didn’t happen at night. Apparently when a large scale, medieval army attacks, they don’t like attacking at night, who’da thunk it?

B...

Waves of Magic: Tobias 1 (Original Fantasy)

“Alright, we all ready?” Dura asked, her elven ears twitching, listening for any sign they’d been detected, as the group of four huddled next to a collapsed pillar.

“Ready as we’ll ever be,” Drorvar, the dwarven knight, responded, taking a drink from his metal flask.

“Ju...
