John was beholden to a situation in which everyone else in the room agreed that he had no business to voice his opinion over. Weirdly enough, the subject was absolutely about him. “We are now entering the Harem Agreement renegotiations,” Lydia announced; “To reform the old system to encompass ...

Hello!
So, we reached the first milestone. Crazy. And now that we do I realize some things that I should talk about.
For a start, I am not quitting my side job, as the goal originally says. This is for the simple reason that I have giant buffer and I don’t need...

Yeah, so, here we go again, choices below. Decided to split the elementals up this time around, the group choice didn't work out that well, I think. Also the list only includes those names I have ideas for.
Also am going to include a non-waifu this time around, I think you will see who :P

So, I think its no secret by the name of the next arc (Years of Freedom) that it will play over a rather high length of time. So here is a poll about something highly inconsequential but I thought it would fun to see where you people lean. This is probably the only one of these, but I guarantee noth...

As I release this I realize I forgot to send it into typo hunting...oh well.
A bit of an awkward arc, pacing wise, I got to admit. I think Romulus speech at the end of the Arc 2 hyped people up a bit more than anticipated, at least judging by the comments I got, and then abyssal warfare in my bran...

It was a nice two weeks, even if nothing truly remarkable happened. As Rodaclam had threatened, he involved John a bit in the paperwork mines of the empire. He didn’t get to see any of the true state secrets, of which John was sure there were plenty, but he at least got some experience in the midd...

They had come full circle. It had taken seven days (minus a few hours) to get back to this bench. It was him, Lydia and Romulus who sat on it. Everyone else was around as well. Stirwin had jumped into the pond and playfully chased some ducks that the emperor was feeding with crumbs of bread. The fac...

So, yeah, I decided to go with Nia in the three way tie and look at her. No wonder the average person is unnerved around her, imagine you get stared at like that without context.
I very much look forward to the final product.

“So, can I get a menu or something?” John asked the goddess of alcohol; “To see the prices and everything.”

"Richard!” John shouted out to the triumvirate that was walking down one of the many hallways. All three turned around, but with a quick gesture and few calm words, the Horned Rat ensured them that this was okay, and they went on ahead without him. Seconds later John had caught up to him.

“Members of the Blood of the Proletariat, peasants, serfs, soldiers and scholars,” Romulus’ voice boomed over the river Moskva and over to the city of a very similar name. “This is the empire’s ultimatum. Everyone who surrenders within the next hour, by leaving arms behind and meeting us o...

It was noon of the fifth day of the war, and something inside John told him that it was going to be the last. Maybe it was the fact that they were more or less just walking after Romulus as he smashed through every line of defence without a care in the world.

The difference between the battlefield and the busy city of Warsaw was staggering. Of course, all the elementals had gone incorporeal, and Aclysia had shifted into an outfit more fitting. They had to buy new clothes for Rave, Lydia and Metra, who waited for them inside another barrier, before they c...

‘Yes!’ John answered without hesitation. He had already figured that it was time for her to wake up earlier in the iron giant. The mana that Ria had been wondering where it went, the sense of foreboding he had felt, both were signs of a consciousness finally awakening.
