Legends Never Die: Well Earned Rewards (ch. 39)

I had absolutely no idea what happened, I realized, utterly exhausted and completely spent. I managed to block the charge that would have cost us the battle, but I had no idea what King Widukind did to win the battle itself. However, I knew that we had won, because Rinaldo's expression crumpled t...

Never Fade Away: Like A Supreme (ch. 27)

What was happening today was something that had only happened once in Night City's history, Rogue recalled as she leaned into her seat in the back room of the Afterlife. On one side of the room was a long row of the top Fixers in Night City -- Regina Jones, Padre, Wakako, Captain Reyes, Dino Dino...

Never Fade Away: Night City (ch. 26)

Apparently my base in Pacifica was destroyed, which was… a huge loss, but much better than Arasaka getting their hands on more of my tech. The GN Drive that I built was set to self-destruct after everyone had vacated the building, leaving behind a crater and rubble where the building used to be...

Never Fade Away: Never Fade Away (ch. 25)

Time slowed to a crawl the moment the force of the impact hit. Adam Smasher peered into the tank, his eyes glowing an ominous red. I didn't know much about him beyond vague mentions here or there. Mostly coming from David, because Adam Smasher was apparently the most renowned borg in the world. N...

Never Fade Away: I Know You See Me (ch. 24)

Arasaka Tower was big, I realized. I had never seen it up close before, but no matter where you were in this city, you could see it. Arasaka Tower was a testament to the control the company had over Night City. It dominated the skyline, equal to a mega building. Rebuilt after Johnny Silverhand nu...

Gacha God: Risky Bets (ch. 25)

"Ohh, swanky," I remarked, looking out at the guy we would be intimidating and/or kidnapping. He was an older guy -- white hair, wrinkles, but money let him age with grace. He lived in a nice high-rise apartment in New York, complete with a balcony with a swimming pool on it. He was dressed in on...

Gacha God: No Strings On Me (ch. 24)

“Bro. I want your power. We’re in space. Outer space! Dude… we’re astronauts,” Ned had his forehead pressed against the glass window of my Fortress of DOOM. Capital letters, because why wouldn’t they be?

I usually preferred to stay on the streets because it kept me on m...

Gacha God: Logical Explanations (ch. 23)

As far as disasters went, this one was an unmitigated shit show, Natasha summarized her thoughts rather aptly as she sat at a round table inside of Avenger's tower. It was a disaster on every imaginable level. First, Italy was rather upset about the spy plane that crashed in their front yard. Und...

Gacha God: No Regrets (ch. 22)

"Your eyes are fine," Peter told me as I lounged on the couch back in the man cave. I winced at the light he was flickering in my eyes to check my pupil dilation and other medical related stuff, quickly closing them and resting the wet cloth back over my eyes. The coolness of the ice pack wrapped...

The Good Life: 2nd character poll

This is the second character poll for The Good Life -- I dropped the bottom five and kept the five that most votes. I don't expect too much to change with this poll, but I do know that having less options can mix things up. So, same deal as last time -- pick all the characters that you would like...

The Good Life: Proper Motivation (ch. 6)

Fury flowed through Cinder and it took absolutely everything she had to not lash out, no matter how satisfying it might be. Her image was carefully crafted -- her posture, her social media presence, her personality when dealing with interviews. All of it to sell the image that she gave a shit abo...

The Good Life: Twice as Bright and Half as Long (ch. 5)

A thrill of excitement ran through me, accompanied by a sense of nervousness and anxiety. A foot bounced up and down as I sat in the back seat of an unremarkable van, my mind running through the plan again and again while my gaze was affixed to a clock that seemed to measure minutes in the span o...

The Good Life: Carrot and the Stick (ch. 4)

There was a black cat looking at me, I noticed, making eye contact with the golden-eyed feline from across a back alley as I went about my business. Mostly aimlessly wandering New York to get a temperature for the various gangs that I now controlled. The Bayers’ territory had been divided up an...

The Good Life: Ill-Intentions (ch. 3)

Cinder cycled through her social media pages, smirking to herself all the while. Across her feed were reposts of the video that the Vought team edited together -- and she had to admit, it was nicely done. If she hadn't been there, she would have thought that it had been an actual team-up, the tra...

Legends Never Die: What Comes After (ch. 41)

"I'll see you at the end of summer, Wolf-Kissed," King Widukind said to me at the docks. There was a large gathering of people to see us off. I could hardly hear the words beneath the ocean of noise coming from the what felt like hundreds of people shouting their farewells all at once. They crowd...

Legends Never Die: Debts Repaid (ch. 40)

“So, we lost, huh?” Astolfo had an interesting reaction to the news of the Frankish defeat. I had been a little wary of it, to be completely honest. Which was why I had kept the news from her until the ransom was taking place, despite the fact that her hands were in chains. Simply put -- if s...

Legends Never Die: Shining Stars (ch. 38)

Strength surged in my limbs, the edge of exhaustion I had felt fading away to be replaced with power. The injuries that I had suffered seemed to close, or at the very least, they stopped bleeding. It didn't go unnoticed by the Paladins, who narrowed their eyes in response, but they said nothing o...

The Good Life: Character Poll

Hello everyone! This poll is for The Good Life. Me an my editors were talking over some characters that could be included in the story at some point, but we were unable to come to a conclusion on who would be the best fit and most entertaining. Basically bringing something unique to the table whe...

Never Fade Away: The Loved and Lost (ch. 23)

Things were progressing well. Almost too well, I thought as I looked out at T-7 and Kaiden, both of whom were currently basking in the sun. They both had optics, so there was no real danger of hurting their eyes by staring up at it for too long. They were joined by a good dozen others, all of the...

Gacha God: Dance Like No One Is Watching (ch. 21)

I opened my eyes, and it felt like I had been blind for my entire life and now the settings were kicked up to HD. I winced as Peter finished taking off the bandages while I sat on the machine that just did the transplant. We went right to cutting as soon as my plane arrived. As the last of the ba...
