“Rude, please tell me you have an actual plan?” Jill asked, hating the pleading note in her voice. Fear crawled up her spine as she gazed up at the gigantic creature that seemed to still be pulling itself out of whatever hole it had crawled out of. Something like that… It wasn't so...

The only thing more dangerous than a competent enemy was an incompetent ally. Brandon knew it in his gut even before the Melee began that Paul would be singled out. His father's vassals, for all they disparage the South, had their own petty pride and Paul's inclusion to the Melee had been a sore ...

Prison wasn't that bad once you got used to it. The thought felt heretical compared to how she felt when she first arrived. The grime and mold covered concrete walls and floor with the iron bars over too small cells had felt suffocating. Maddening. She hadn't realized it then, but that was part o...

“You're alive?! You're alive!” Jayce erupted with joy the moment he saw me, crossing the distance between us and delivering a back breaking hug. That brought the others attention to us in the Council’s chamber. I patted Jayce on the back, my gaze bouncing between the others -- Heimerdinger ...

The Institute was in pretty rough shape. The synths were all slaughtered, but that was no real loss. While they had trashed the synth printer in the laboratory, I had my portable one back on Runeterra to work off of. But a solid third of its scientist population had been slaughtered in the synths...

Giant robot. A giant robot. It was a giant robot. The thought banged around my skull like a bell, and I found myself just… happy. Since I took that deal and became Law, I had experienced all sorts of things. I had done all sorts of things. I had felt the greatest of joys by fulfilling childhood...

The next month was a flurry of activity. The war had been won, and I was now the uncontested king of Denmark, but the truth of it was that becoming king was the easy part. The battle against Horrik was something that I had set in motion and prepared for long before I arrived at my homeland's shor...

It didn’t feel real. Not really. Not even as a look of crushing defeat filled Horrik’s eyes as he understood all too well what this meant for him. A moment that he had been dreading as much as I had anticipated it for years by this point. His defeat was more real to him than it was to me, I t...

During the past two weeks, I’d had my scouts searching for a battlefield that met my specifications -- flat open fields, ocean access, with a forest on the other flank. That, and it had to be within a day's march of Alabu. I desired the terrain to be to my advantage, but not so much so that Hor...

You know, honestly, I had just kinda figured that the major characters of the Resident Evil series would have plot armor. I mean… I didn't know much about the games. I absorbed most of the information I did know about them from memes, which I hadn't thought was a particularly good source but in...

Levi Ackerman stared dispassionately into the crater that had drawn the Survey Corp out here, and he couldn't deny that it was an impressive sight. It was located nearly dead center between Wall Maria and Wall Rose, around a hundred yards wide and a hundred feet deep. He had heard rumors, back as...

Hello everyone, I'm here with a health update. My surgery went well on Wednesday with no notable complications. Went in, went under, and stayed for about a day for observation, and I've been back home for the past few days. However, I completely underestimated the recovery post-surgery. I was inf...

“So? How does it feel?” Thorkell asked me as I gazed out at Hedeby, the first city in Denmark that had acknowledged me as their king. The people that had hid behind the palisade had returned to their homes, even if they did have to put up with some extra guests. But even with five men in each...

I mentioned it a month ago, but there was a chance that I would need a minor surgery as a result of my health scare. While the medication I was given has helped a lot, it didn't do enough to make the surgery unnecessary, so later this week I will be having it. I have been reassured that the risks...
