The Good Life: City of Dreams (ch. 1)

"Wallet? Check," I said, patting my ass to find my wallet in my back pocket. "Phone? Check," I continued, patting my left front pocket. "Car keys? Check," I continued, parting my right front pocket to find the key ring that also had my apartment key along with a few others. "Fifty kilos of cocain...

From the Ashes: Glimmers of Victory (ch. 29)

The aftermath of the battle was bad. It was downright impossible to tell how many darkspawn had been slain throughout the night but it must have been thousands. Several thousand. There were token efforts to count them, and in sure I would find out the total eventually, but for the most part, peop...

From the Ashes: Glimmers of What Once Was (ch. 28)

"We should leave," Sten voiced his opinion as our companions gathered up in a small house that had been allocated for all of us. "Staying this long was a foolhardy endeavor."

"I am in agreement with Sten," Morrigan voiced, leaning in a corner with a slight grin on her face. "The darkspawn a...

Legends Never Die: The Last Act (ch. 36)

I had never seen so many people in one place before, I thought, seated on top of a horse at the crest of the hill that would serve as the final battlefield of the war. It looked exactly as King Widukind, who was next to me, had  built it. Directly before us were thousands upon thousands of p...

Legends Never Die: Setting the Stage (ch. 35)

Jarl Aldmund hadn't quite managed to get everything into position within the time that we gave him, but it didn't matter. With such obvious bait before the Frank's eyes, even if they suspected a trap, they were compelled to still try to kill me. And because of that fact, they fell head first into...

Legends Never Die: Choosing the Battlefield (ch. 34)

"The boy isn't King," Jarl Aldmund voiced as soon as we left the city, a deep frown in his voice. "He couldn't be more of a puppet if he had strings attached to him and a hand up his arse." I nodded along at that, having noticed much the same. It could be that we didn't share a common tongue, but...

Legends Never Die: Kingmaker (ch. 33)

"He was a popular guy," Thorkell confirmed my worst suspicions as we rode toward our destination after crossing the Rhine and heading into the land of Holland. My mercenary company took point while two thousand Saxons trailed behind us. Crossing the river had been the worst part, mostly because t...

Never Fade Away: Consumed My Hate (ch. 21)

"Your nose is bleeding," Jack remarked as we headed to our destination, flying in one of the air cars that I had commandeered. The others were following behind us, the mission already underway. I had anticipated this moment since I first escaped the Orphanage -- the moment that I would go back. I...

Never Fade Away: What Life Was Missing (ch. 20)

"I see," I heard myself say, feeling like I had been punched in the gut by the news that Lucy had just delivered to me. She had just come out of the deep dive, spending a good fifteen minutes down there while we dealt with the reinforcements. My heart clenched, pure dread gripping it and giving i...

Never Fade Away: We Had To Pay A Cost (ch. 19)

Predictably, the Tyger Claws were pretty pissed about their leadership getting zeroed like a bunch of chumps. They swarmed the building, flooded the streets, tearing through Night City in search of them. Jack leaned back in a chair while she listened to the radio, watching Becca swing around the ...

Never Fade Away: You Lit A Flame (ch. 18)

"L!" Jack shouted, entering their shared home to see that L had been busy. He had converted the area above them into some weird room that had a bunch of servers. The space between them was filled with something -- coolant, if she had to guess. Between the three rows of servers were what looked li...

Gacha God: Smooth as Sandpaper (ch. 19)

"Damn. It'd really help if I could speak or read Italian," I remarked, flipping through the instruction manual, seeing it all in a weird made up looking language. Though, I suppose all languages were made up. I just so happened to understand English. "Guess we're stuck looking at pictures," I con...

Gacha God: Just Deserts (ch. 18)

As far as plans went, it was a solid one. Shield didn't know about the Ring of Nine Dragons, and I doubt that me being able to produce clones would be their first assumption. Instead, I imagined they would assume that I -- Audacity -- had a team. And they were right about that, just less so than ...

Gacha God: Hero in Action (ch. 17)

Grenades were pretty handy, I decided, jury-rigging a daisy chain of grenades along the walls of my apartment. Everything of value was already inside of the Cave of Wonders, though Past Me didn’t know that yet. As far as he was aware, everything was as it should be -- he would meet Black Cat, m...

Gacha God: Backroom Deals (ch. 16)

“Interesting trick,” Tony remarked, pursing his lips as he looked at me, gesturing to my Cave of Wonders. The door was still closed, but that didn’t mean he hadn’t been inside of it. “I can’t quite puzzle it out, which is a rarity for me. Care to give some spoilers? Space folder? Quan...

From the Ashes: Glimmers of Battle (ch. 27)

“That was too much,” Leliana scolded me as we turned away from Teagan, who was speaking to Alistair in a low tone. I’m guessing he was either saying unkind things or plotting to put him on the throne of Ferelden. Frankly, I couldn’t have cared less in either case. “You must be diplomati...

Castoff: Selflessness (ch. 16)

Her mother had died when she was just a baby, so Ciri held no memories of her. She knew what she looked like because of paintings, and she grew up hearing stories about her mother and the antics she got into. Before the Fall of Cintra, her marriage to her father -- a man cursed to be a porcupine ...

Legends Never Die: To Be A Man (ch. 32)

I had completely forgotten about that raid. No, that wasn't true. It was impossible to forget the raid itself. That had been the raid that had made Horrik honor me, where I was engaged to Jill, and the norns started to weave far more interesting events into my life. However, I had completely forg...

Best of Intentions (Resident Evil/DnD) ch. 1

“Sir, you need to pay for that,” an overweight Walmart greeter held me up with a hand, a bushy beard on his face that I was only a little jealous of. His gaze flickered to my two very full grocery carts filled with a wide variety of items -- batteries, water, canned food, and so on and so on....

Never Fade Away: Never Leaving (ch. 17)

"Where the fuck is the fucking- oh, there it is," I muttered to myself as I stood surrounded by bits and pieces of equipment ranging from wires, nuts and bolts, electronics, and some metal plating. Grabbing the wrench, I started aggressively unhooking a bolt that I had secured way too tightly. No...
