“Agreed – and Lethality is to be avoided. Can you bring in your High Fateweaver?” William answered swiftly.

2021-12-13 15:12:31 +0000 UTC View PostAs they walked through the mansion, John silently investigated the numerous little tingles triggering his barrier-sensing. Reaching out with his mind was all that he needed to do to that end, given how close he was to the sources. It turned out that the entire estate was filled with ...
2021-12-11 17:43:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn’t fine or remotely usual form for John to spread his harem between two cars. To his mind, it felt like he was picking favourites, when choosing who got to sit in the vintage car with him. One of the definitive lessons he had learned was that picking favourites in the harem ...

It wasn’t as ancient as some other guilds in the Abyss, but it had amassed enough history and traditions to be respected. As an order in the service of the one and only Lady, their hierarchy had been strict from the start and on...
