Myth//OS - Chapter 49

Outrun - Chapter 291

“Mira?” I dropped everything I was doing and turned to Mira. “How do you feel? Are you okay?”

Her eyes trembled slightly when they met mine, dropping to the bed. “I-I feel fine- my spine aches- my head throbs- am I really out- where are we?”

“We’re safe.” I set aside...

Outrun - Chapter 290

Saint stepped into Absolom Clinic. The bell rang loudly overhead, announcing his presence. Nael, the old Medek, stood over a bald unconscious girl. Shiro was slumped over on the far side of the room on a chair, finally taking a nap. It was about time. He knew for a fact she lied to him earlier…...

Myth//OS - Chapter 47

A couple days passed. The discerning citizen throughout Bastion slowly but surely picked up on a story. At first, it was a one sided trickle of information. Something about a wild Warden that should be hit with legal restrictions for her brutality. It was small, not reaching further than a few hu...

Outrun - Chapter 289

The Aether opened up in front of me. I carefully carried Mira through the portal and set her down. I didn’t have a bed in here yet, so I made do by stealing the cot she’d been laying on. It wasn’t great, but it was better than putting her on the cold floor of the Aether bunker. It was only ...

Outrun - Chapter 288

Experimental holding… They were prison cells, straight and simple. I didn’t get a good look when Corvid scouted the place out the first time around. I wished I never got a good look. I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breath. I had to look. Mira… Mira could be in any one of these cells...

Myth//OS - Chapter 45

AN: Haven’t had much time lately. I’ll be back home Tuesday, maybe. I’ll try for an Outrun chapter Monday if I can find the time to write? That’s up in the air. I was an idiot and got super sun-burnt on my hands though, so I dunno.

The fight itself was at an arena ...

Outrun - Chapter 287

I stared at the place with tired eyes. Yellow Inc was right there, within reaching distance. I held myself back though. Rushing in wouldn’t help anyone. It’d just make the situation worse, especially if I was caught. How could I save Mira if I couldn’t save myself?

It was funny- my br...

Myth//OS - Chapter 42

The silence stretched on. Each passing moment put some small pressure on me. It was only a matter of time until CDF or other Wardens came. I had an escape route planned with Miss Thariya—and a few of my own—but those would be closed off if this took too long.

Bombastic Bowman’s eyes d...

Myth//OS - Chapter 41

The night came and went. I stayed up a bit late practicing a few things, including the new Ether String magic and Ivorshroud, which put me in a not so great state. It was fine though. Nothing a bit- okay, a lot of coffee couldn’t fix. 

Which is how I found myself here, stand...

Outrun - Chapter 286

Surprisingly, Saint was able to sweep the entire server room without anyone stopping him. They even encouraged him, actually. Thirty minutes in, the door popped open. I thought it was over. A strike squad was finally summoned to come flatline the reporter digging into their servers.

Instead...

Myth//OS - Chapter 40

I sprawled out on the wall, allowing the rain to drip past my hood onto my face. It was nice and cool, trickling down the side of my face down into hair. It was still day, and the sun peeked through the cloud in the distance, making the entire city glow with life. Bastion certainly had its moment...

Myth//OS - Chapter 39

Lucia looked around the room. “Now then, I just have one question. Were you involved in my assassination attempt?”

“You can’t seriously think that-“

“That wasn’t an option.” Lucia levered a glare at the sweaty man who tried to talk his way out of this. “Yes? Or no? S...

Myth//OS - Chapter 38

I took a long drag of my coffee. I was definitely up way too late practicing Ether Strings. Oh- String Sorcery didn’t really make sense anymore if there was no weave to pull on. Hence Ether Strings… unless Lucia came up with a better name, I guess. She definitely had the naming rights.

...

Myth//OS - Chapter 37

”Whatcha’ doin’?” Lucia pulled her Oculus off and pulled her arms behind her back.

I looked up from the TV. My favorite show was on, so how could I not take over the living room? “Glitch Scouts.”

It’d been a day since I went prowling around the Darkzone with Clover. I sp...

Myth//OS - Chapter 36

Rabbyte made the first move. She reached for her back and pulled the weird cylinder thing out. With a press of the button, the entire weapon expanded into a formidable looking gun. It slowly started to spin up like a steam crank. Several barrels of the minigun rotated, warming up for what was to ...

Myth//OS - Chapter 35

A Grimlin lunged from the shadows to strike the unaware Rabbyte with its dagger-

I slammed the nasty creature with an Ether Reinforced kick. Its frail body flung back with the force of my blow, arcing toward the opposite end of the alley. Before it could hit the ground, I summoned Thorn’s...

Outrun - Chapter 285

Saint and I just hung out in the boss’s office and waited for the raid. Several times someone tried to break into the room and help the boss. Several times they were warded off by the reporter. It was usually some bullshit excuse or persuasion, though at the end he mentioned he was locked in wi...

Myth//OS - Chapter 34

Leo ‘Aggronaut’ Princeton stared at the Grimlins slowly hedging in on his fireteam. Even with them keeping back, the sheer stench of the nasty little garden gnomes hit like a truck. Rotten pieces of flesh, ears, and gore clung to their bodies all over, pinned on like trophies. 

Agg...

Myth//OS - Chapter 33

The Darkzone was a bit further than a few blocks away. It was immediately noticeable thanks to the high number of people idling around in tac-gear. Bastion’s CDF and Valkris PMCs surrounded the area in a defensive line. Anything that tried to escape? It’d be shot down before it could even get...

Myth//OS - Chapter 32

Shrrrp…

Shrrp…

Shrrrp…

The sound of gentle waters lapping against something caressed my ears. It was a soothing sound. The air felt cold and wet, and the distant hush of waves rolled in like the breath of the ocean itself. Each one lulled me, as ...

Myth//OS - Chapter 31

The boss stood in another cavern just down from where we came from. The backside of the cavern was entirely caved in, leaving half of it buried in rubble. Lucia tugged on my hand, pulling me back. “Is that it?”

The boss itself looked human… kinda. Most of his face was blocked by a por...

Myth//OS - Chapter 30

AN: Minor change from last chapter. The mk5 is now Lucia’s SMG, not the pistol. Somehow got that reversed a couple days ago.

Lucia stumbled through the rift behind me, staggering around like a drunk. I held onto her shoulder and supported her. Unfortunately, she barely ...

Outrun - Chapter 284

While plummeting through the air, I adjusted myself to land at the back door. There were two goons on it, and another couple inside. Not to mention the cameras probably linked up to a security room. Unfortunately, I never did manage to find the security room with my Dragonflies. No matter. My Bli...

Outrun - Chapter 283

I watched Saint from a nearby building. Just to be safe, I sent several Dragonflies after him and even snuck one into his jacket. If he noticed the extra weight, he didn’t say anything about it across our comms. Everything he saw and heard would be sent right back to me. 

The guy cas...

Myth//OS - Chapter 29

“Wow! So pretty! Why don’t you wear crop tops more often? You’re really toned.” Lucia immedietly bombarded me when I stepped out of the changing room. She circled me like a vulture spotting carrion, approaching closer and closer.

“…” I uncomfortably crossed my arms over my bar...
