2024-07-02 12:02:00 +0000 UTC View PostSonya set down the phone and stared at it, running her thumb over the glossy surface. She tilted her head to the right, lost in thought. Her chest felt lighter and tighter at the same time. She’d heard his voice with her real ears for the first time in a long time. The dreams she’d had about ...
2024-07-02 12:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe faint scrape of soles against gravel and dried soil was the only sound amidst the low hiss of wind across the landscape far outside of Vegas. A single pair of sneakers brushed across the ground, baggy jeans hanging behind. The wind picked up into a howl for a brief moment, the dust swirling p...
2024-07-02 12:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostA hail of gunfire greeted Blackrazor as he stepped out into the main space of the old manufacturing plant that they had used for their temporary hideout. Thugs that didn’t have adequate powers to use in a fight had been armed with automatic weapons loaded with anti-monster munitions. The serial...
2024-07-02 00:02:58 +0000 UTC View PostIshtar took several swaying steps backwards, her head moving just out of the path of Chunhua’s swings. Her attacks kept missing! Either she could see the goddamn future or she knew her fighting style better than Chunhua did. It was beyond frustrating. How could anyone possibly know a style that...
2024-07-01 21:56:22 +0000 UTC View PostAuthor's Note: This one is a bit outside of our current point in the timeline, but I couldn't get it out of my head this morning. You're welcome <3

The dust swirled around them, kicked up by an unseen wind. Her jet-black robes flapped around her body, she could feel it, the pow...

An Set lunged forward, his body splitting in half as an electric charge raced up Black Lotus’ sword. She whipped it down and to the right, a huff of exertion all it took to send the charge into ...
2024-06-29 22:00:58 +0000 UTC View PostThere were some errors in continuity and tone in chapters 66 and 75 that needed to be addressed concerning Sonya's character and behavior. These have been updated.
--spoilers ahead--
In short: Sonya's choice to exterminate children is vastly out of character for her and ...
2024-06-29 17:30:28 +0000 UTC View PostChunhua cut down another gnoll. The damn things were getting bigger. Those multicolored clouds would sprout back up now and then and change them into behemoths twice the size of their kin. Worse were the smart ones wearing bones and beads on strings. They were capable of using some kind of strang...
2024-06-29 17:26:30 +0000 UTC View PostSapporo was containing An Set, but he wasn’t gaining any ground either. It was a deadlock and everyone knew it. Something was going to give way one way or the other, though, they were both powerful but neither of them had truly unlimited strength. Marta watched them clash with awe in her eyes, ...
2024-06-27 22:27:20 +0000 UTC View PostThe air was energized, the clouds of dust, smoke, and debris were charged, sparks jumping across them as they blew across the ever widening field of devastation. Buildings had fallen, their superstructures weakened by the devastating blows thrown wildly by the living force of nature on a rampage....
2024-06-27 17:57:30 +0000 UTC View PostAnna stared at the body of the devil for a while, the noxious scent of the yellow flames slowly fading as its source was extinguished. She felt the notifications buzzing in the back of her head before letting out a sigh. She let her head fall back for a moment and just savored the moment. She’d...
2024-06-26 18:56:17 +0000 UTC View PostThe mage had barely been able to right herself when Anna charged, her eyes were still stinging but Anna’s vision was cleared up enough to get a good bead on the mage. She brought her mace up in an arc that was deflected by a hastily cast barrier of mana. Anna admitted that she should have reali...
2024-06-26 13:47:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe faint scent of coffee hanging in the air was the first thing that caught her nostrils as she came to. Her entire body ached, but not in a bad way. She rolled over onto her side and groaned, burying her face in the pillow. It was soft, so soft, and the case was ridiculously smooth. So were the...
2024-06-25 19:55:26 +0000 UTC View PostSonya considered her options a bit longer than she cared to admit. Was she enjoying watching Hyunh struggle? A bit. Frankly she considered letting the woman die right then and there. It would be as good as killing her and should earn her credit with her deal with Pandora. She glanced down the win...
2024-06-25 16:02:42 +0000 UTC View PostSonya got to her feet, taking a step to the right as her eyes stayed fixed on An Set. The Chairman poked his head up from behind some construction materials, looking around in confusion. Marta shifted forward, her gauntlets clenching into fists. The young man standing in front of the portal didnâ...
2024-06-24 19:47:24 +0000 UTC View PostA little earlier for you guys <3 Enjoy!
Anna picked her way through the forest, the trees having become far quieter than they were when she first arrived so long ago. She glanced over at the devil woman and wondered if they were hunting in the forest like she had been. She supposed it made sense, though it was a bit bothersome. She sti...
2024-06-24 11:12:21 +0000 UTC View PostAnna didn’t waste any more time. She plucked the armor token out of her inventory and immediately cracked it in her fist. After a pause a set of armored pants dropped from the air and onto the ground with a thud and little further fanfare. She knelt down and grabbed it, identifying it immediate...
2024-06-24 02:53:12 +0000 UTC View PostIt stood head and shoulders above her, a hulking shape wrought of dark gray metal. It didn’t have a face, rather a grim looking helmet with four wide slots filled with shadow. Its oversized shoulders were slanted forward, giving it a barbaric look in its deactivated posture. Thick metal arms en...

While having a skill streamlined the process, it still wasn’t easy. That was exactly what Anna had come to expect, though. So she toiled, refining core after core until the essence vessel was empty only to turn around and refill it by dismantling more items. She barely paid any attention to the...
2024-06-21 19:15:40 +0000 UTC View PostThere was a kind of joy Anna got out of working on her new profession. It was a practical problem, one with solutions that one could get to simply with enough practice. There were no people to deal with, points to argue, conversations to navigate, it was just her, her materials, and her skills. E...
2024-06-21 15:19:09 +0000 UTC View PostEven with the new workstation, the process of gradually getting used to using her engraving skill took more time than she had expected. This wasn’t helped by the fact that she could only sit there and stare through a magnifying glass for so long before it grew tiresome. She decided on the first...
2024-06-21 10:55:24 +0000 UTC View PostHyunh stood over the sink, staring at herself as the acidic smell burned at her nostrils. She struggled to right her mental state, reign in the horror that was gripping her. She could barely comprehend the nightmare her life had turned into in just a matter of hours. Reports had stopped coming in...
2024-06-21 07:59:03 +0000 UTC View PostMartin burst into the room, his gun raised and at the ready. He wrinkled his nose at the smell of blood and sweat that permeated the room. He took a quick look around, frowning when he didn’t see anyone at first from where he stood. He didn’t notice the way some of the shadow in the entry hal...
2024-06-21 05:32:51 +0000 UTC View PostIt turned out she didn’t need to look far. The second room jutting off from the main workshop turned out to be a storage room. There wasn’t anything in there particularly valuable in the way of weapons or cool stuff that she expected to find in the vault. Instead, it was all learning material...
2024-06-19 20:04:47 +0000 UTC View PostAnna's first instinct was to immediately hop in and try out her new skill on one of the cores in her bag. That was immediately dismissed by the more rational part of herself that noted the part of the skill description that indicated it required mana. She hadn't figured out the full scope and con...
