“Will you lie to me and pretend that it was madness that made my friend accuse you of hiding my twin from me?”
The question came after a prolonged silence. Outside the cathedral, the Horned Rat and John’s elementals ensured that they were alone for this. As alone as they could ...

The fungal body burst. Screeching horrors were born from corrupted tissue flapping in the wings of the otherworldly conjuration. Manta-like creatures that rose into the air, soon tearing through the windows and stone walls in their search for chaos and prey. Dragon-like creatures shaped ou...

Alrighty, I have very little to say about the plot this time around but some about the business side of things, so you might want to stick around for that.
The goal of this arc was to have Apexus and group integrate with general adventurer society and in that, I believe I have succee...

“We’re sorry,” Atlas apologized.
“You best be,” Aclysia was the first to respond. The angel had taken poorly to the attack four days ago. She was far from alone in that, although she was the one most overtly angry about this lapse in virtue. “Your greed has overcome you....

John entered the hall with long strides. It was a faithful and enlarged reconstruction of the big chamber that he had met William in when he had returned to Springfield. In every way that mattered, it was a cathedral, although a sparsely decorated one. All of the funds that John had poured...

Beijing was an international city.
For all of the difficulties that Communist China presented, its capital was fairly easy to get into. It was made a lot easier when John had previously greased some wheels in certain bureaus. Bribes worked in basically all countries, as long as one k...

The presence of Lydia and her troops changed fairly little and a whole lot simultaneously. The Guild Hall was their least threatened position. Additional forces to fill out the lines and allow the outwards push to progress more smoothly were deeply welcome, however. Military modernization ...

An Abyssal fleet always was an impressive and unimpressive sight in equal measure. The sheer scale of the ships was ludicrous. The biggest of the ships was 550 metres from point to keel. It towered 100 metres tall and had a prestigious width of 120 metres. It was an absolutely immense thin...

“You might have surpassed my own combat meditation.”
Apexus’ comment caused the freshly healed Rogue to raise an eyebrow. “Nah,” she denied outright, waving her hand repeatedly. “That’s impossible. I was all agitated and smirky. You’re always calm and collected.”

Layla was covered head to toe in guts.
Human guts, animal guts, elemental guts, most importantly Lorylim guts. Every corrupted entity she came across tasted her dagger. The weapon the fungal smith had left her did what it was supposed to, carving the life and soul out of every host t...

Before anything else, John wanted to know what unique Traits Fianna possessed. If it was anything like Ehtra, that would inform his choice of Skills tremendously.

A visible wave of discomfort rippled through Scarlett’s body. It began at the interface point of her right shoulder, spread to the back, and all the way down to her glutes. The artificial arm moved, to take the second limb from John.

It felt good to be desired. Regardless of situation and time, having an attractive person of the desired sex pining for one’s attention was an ego booster. Base satisfaction aside, he did not need Lyndell flirting with him in her enticingly forlorn ways.
