“Fucking run!” Bandit shouted, racing down the path as a low rumble followed him. The others just stared at him as he darted past and leaped over the small ledge leading down to the platform below where they’d been standing. Firestorm scratched his head and glanced over at Bluestar who gave...

Anna came to slowly, her right eye fluttering open while her left remained shut, crusted over with dried blood. Her head felt heavy, she could barely lift it. Her vision felt off too, slightly blurred towards her peripheral vision. She tried to blink but it hurt. She coughed and looked down at he...

Ironsides took a step back, his eyes fixed on the villain in front of him. His mind reeled at the sudden revelation and the implications of her shift from conversation to force. The only reason she would have said anything about such a glaring weakness or feature of her person was if she fully in...

Anna woke after a brief nap and let out a breath into the darkness. She reached for her bag and tugged out a few more mushrooms, shoving them into her mouth and chewing to quickly cover up the last of what she needed to feel topped up. It wasn’t lost on her that waking up fully alert was coming...

Anna slipped past another golem, she could have cut loose and attacked it but she really didn’t want to burn through any more of her supplies to recover afterwards if she didn’t have to. She was inching towards the point where she could probably take on two golems back to back, but that still...

The entry to the Palace was beautiful. The Marble floor stretched out, shining against the light that shone down from above. Patrons from all across the world came and went, the wealthy, the powerful, and those lucky enough to make their dreams come true. Standing in the midst of it all was a lon...

It certainly wasn’t the introduction she had expected. Chunhua wasn’t sure what to even think of it. She’d seen her on television more than once, captivated if she was being honest with herself, which of course she’d firmly chosen not to be in this particular instance. Grossly inappropria...

The first thing that Anna did was reflect on the fight against the golem. It had gone down simply enough, the process was straightforward and she doubted she’d have to change it up too much with the others. She’d seen a few wandering around and they all had the same weakness that her heritage...

Anna got into the posture from before, emulating the hulking gait of the golem as she positioned her weapon. She considered practicing it as a jab but changed her grip at the last second. There was no reason why she couldn’t do the same thing with a proper swing. She licked her lips and concent...

Anna woke on hard packed dirt, her labored breathing kicking up dust as she curled into a ball on the ground. There was no light and barely any sound beyond her breaths and the distant dripping of water somewhere far away. She coughed and tried to open her eyes, she felt so tired. Her skin felt c...

Anna let out a hard breath and spit out a gob of blood from her mouth. That particular boar had been far more tenacious than the last one. She’d learned a few more things from the fight, though. Minor things, but still useful. It hadn’t really occurred to her exactly what the purpose of a blu...

Craig shoved his hands into the pockets of his coat, humming to himself as he ambled his way to his room. It was going well! She was beautiful, famous, and the perfect person to put on as the face of his next line of projects. She’d even agreed to reach out soon. He imagined a glorious high-ris...

The Bobcat snapped its jaws a couple times, trying to get a better grip on Anna’s protected arm. She grit her teeth against the pain as its claws dug into her shoulders again, its body too large to get purchase with its back legs, thankfully. She felt the heat in her veins as she tried to figur...

Anna felt her fingers tremble, her breath coming a bit faster than it had been before. A bead of sweat went down her brow as she stared in awe at the simple manifestation of magic. She reached out and tried to touch it. Her hand ran down the smooth surface. It didn’t move from the spot where it...

Anna walked out the door, her cudgel slung over her shoulder. She scanned the street, empty as before with only the remains of the skeletons scattered in front of her door. I should probably do something about those, she thought as she walked over to one of them. She stopped next to...

Pixel was slow to react when Anna posed her question, flickering and actually buzzing a little bit now and then. Was it doing that ‘asking permission’ thing? Whatever it was, it gave her time to take a moment and review the rest of her character sheet.

She should have expected this, she really should have. There was no reason not to expect this. It was the very first spell she had to pick, baseline, the beginning, her initial options. Of course it would be simple and fairly straightforward. She understood that. She got it, she really did. But...

For an instant, Anna had the soul shaking feeling of being in many places at once. It was like her entire body had been broken down into its most basic materials, the fundamental components scattered across an inky black void filled with an uncountable number of stars. Every molecule seemed to ha...

Blackrazor frowned, he hadn’t expected the reaction that the old man had and he hadn’t anticipated his death to be so uneventful. He’d anticipated a battle, a struggle, but the old man seemed to understand just how truly done he was without much argument. He remembered the cold look in the ...

The shadows bent around him, his body melding with the very surface of the building and leaving his presence all but nonexistent...
