Chapter 99 – Alterations
Once ‘Imo Crystal’ (or Auntie Crystal) came to pick up the kids to go watch movies and have snacks, I got down to business. In the two years since the System came online, both Crystal and I had avoided using the Administrator interface more than n...

Chapter 143 – Newborns
My strikes were deep, and well-practiced. I’d had more than enough time to work on the technique, after all. A full puncture of the heart in both cases, opening up multiple chambers as the spear exited the other side of their body. The result was a wo...

Chapter 189 – Sales Pitch
I had been expecting this kind of talk, and so I had the specs of different craft I’d be willing to sell at hand. I reached into one of my pockets, and pulled out a small holographic projector. Once it was on the table between us, I hit the button,...

For the eighteenth floor, I created a huge, city-sized cavern. Well, not quite city-sized. It certainly looked that large, from the landing where the portal set you, but part of...

Chapter 38 – Future Plans
Headwoman Katelyn led Father Reinhold to the area where the more seriously wounded people were being tended to. From what I heard as they left, the priest intended to do his own version of triage on the people. There were too many people wounded too ...

I chuckled at the little cry that went up as I pulled off my mask. I didn’t need it here, after all. Everyone here was either my slave or my child, after all.

We did not actually land in Cairo. While the model of seaplane we were using could land on runways, that did not mean it was always best to do so. Especially when dealing with sandy environments like someplace that is literally in the desert. ...
