Chapter 264
While the world outside shook, Leiandra stumbled out of the elevator. One of Sonya’s armed security guards caught her and helped her steady herself. She nodded to him briefly as he turned and began leading her towards a side hallway. She grabbed him by the arm and turned back to the elevator, ...

It was relatively quiet traveling back to the edge of the forest. She followed the illumination until she found the last few trees and the open ground beyond. The whole trek back took well over two hours and she was really starting to feel tired at this point. If she didn’t get some sleep soon ...

It was a quick flight from the ground level of the arena to the roof. Marta’s wings carried her with very little effort and she alighted on the slightly curved metal surface with barely a sound. She folded her wings around her against the wind that buffeted her face, her eyes fixed on the shape...

While Sonya was away setting the stage for dealing with Representative Sowards, Marta had other things to occupy her time. She’d pouted a little over being excluded from going with her friend and lady, but she knew that there were some things Sonya preferred to do alone. At least she was better...

The cracked window shuddered as the breeze rushed through it. Bits of debris scattered about the room jostled now and then while the building creaked. Steel pillars held up the rusted ceiling, bits of the sheet metal above worn down by the elements and revealing the stars twinkling in the sky. Th...

The door opened and the world changed around her. She was no longer standing in a steaming hallway filled with the eerie popping of boiling water. Instead, to her amazement, she was standing right outside of an underground forest. Trees so tall they might as well be ancient stretched up towards a...

Sonya stood at the doors to the announcer’s booth as she flicked through her HUD. Another report from Blackrazor with an update on their progress. They were preparing to hit the dungeon boss. As soon as that happened, people were going to notice. She replied with brief instructions to hold off ...

Unscathed.
The eerie mural of a world beneath the palm of some invisible force’s hand stood completely unmarked by the tremendous blows the skeletal champion had delivered. Anna swallowed, reaching up to brush her hair back as she drew closer to it. She looked into those eyes that loomed ...

Happy Brokerversarry! It's been a long year, hasn't it guys? One hell of a wild ride from Chapter 1.
It's been a year since Broker launched and it still blows my mind just how far things have come since then. I don't know if I could have done it without you guys. It's thanks to you that I h...

Sonya yawned as she stepped out of the car. “That’s what I get for agreeing to a binge with Marta in the middle of the night, that show was like one long trip,” she mumbled before turning around and resting her hand on the top of the vehicle. The window rolled down and the zombie looked up ...

There were at least a thousand other things Leiandra Firth could think of doing right now that were more productive than what she was currently doing. She’d come here only briefly to observe Chernovna and warn her about harassing Sowards before returning to The Hague. The CEO’s antics had bee...

Anna reviewed her character sheet. Of all the things she’d seen, this was the one part that garnered her interest the most. Finally some hard numbers, she thought. Something she could work with. It had her full name which was a little awkward, she hadn’t gone by Anastasia even at hom...

Representative Craig Sowards was not a man who was used to failure. Not because he was spoiled, on the contrary, he had dragged his way through the dirt and muck of politics to get where he was. Bowing and scraping to those above him and holding those below him to account in order to get his way....

Chapter 257
Sonya hopped over one of the two chairs in the observation room while Amos slipped into his own chair. He waved a hand and various screens came online, images of the arena from every angle as well as a constant stream of data. She eyed it briefly before deciding she’d rather not have anything t...

The precinct lobby was empty, just like everything else. Only the faint light from the skylights added any sort of illumination. Anna rubbed her neck as she walked past the front desk, frowning at the scattered documents and pens. All the chairs were toppled over as well though she was pleased to...

Sonya took a relaxed pose and gave her friends the spotlight, letting her eyes drift over the crowd a little. She already saw a few interesting faces among them. Though the most notable were the ones in the front row. At least four guildmasters from across Australia and a dozen or so from nei...

The skeletal hound was coming back. Anna dismissed the quest window. She didn’t have time to think about quests and how gamey the whole thing felt. She didn’t even have time to panic. She dipped her head through the opening she’d made in the bars and scrambled through, catching her foot on ...

Sonya and Nietz stared one another down as the Representative shifted back a few paces, looking between them. Sonya ignored the idiot, her focus on the young hero. He certainly has balls, she thought. She was surprised by the lengths the guy was willing to go to help someone he considere...
