Flew up to Boston, since I'll be on some panels at Rising Phoenix Games Con. If y'all are in the Boston area, I'll be here through Monday.
Anyways, chapter from the buffer, since writing on the plane doesn't fly.

Chapter 131 – Poltergeists?
To say that there was something of a stir when we returned to the ship would be an understatement. After all, just seeing a phoenix was rare enough. Seeing two of them, and knowing that they were formerly human? That was something else altogether.<...

Chapter 86 – Arrival
“Thank you so much for bringing me to this, Master! I’ve never been to a supervillain party before!”
I had to smile as FX thanked me, yet again, for bringing her. She was the newest of my pets, so I thought it good to introduce he...

Chapter 334 – Narrow Victory
Already tired from three hard fights in a row, and barely recovered from the last one, which had almost ended in tragedy, Bargulg was not exactly thrilled to start the fight, but he didn’t have a choice in the matter. Tels Xuan, the Dark Saint, ...

Chapter 85 – Supervillain Socializing
Really, it should come to no surprise to anyone that the world of supers was actually a pretty lonely one. Unless you were part of an established team, your life as a super was pretty much a solo gig. Regardless of which side of the law y...

On my way back from SakuraCon now. But I had a chapter in the buffer, so you don't have to worry!
Chapter 333 – The Arena
Bargulg fell to one knee, panting as he tried to recover a bit of his strength. Two back-to-back rounds of enemies had been rough. The first ...

“It is just as bad as you said,” Bargulg said, frowning under his helmet. Not that he expected his pets to lie to him, or exaggerate things, but still. There was hearing something, and then seeing it for yourself.
As had been repo...

Chapter 331 – Not so Easy
“Everyone, out of armor, and rest up. Lyrei, do what you can for our armor.”
Bargulg took his own advice, and began stripping off his armor. What remained of it, at least. The tenth floor of the dungeon had not been terribly bad. Oh, if they weren’t...

Chapter 21 – Spoils
The fight against the ‘Copper Skeleton Bandits’ was done, but there was still plenty of work to do in the Irontooth Mine. Obviously, we had to take their heads, for proof of our deeds in killing off the group, and separating forty heads from their corpses was not...

Officially, it was known as the Tactical and Strategic Information Center. That name only truly existed on paper. Everyone else called it the War Room.
And right now, it was in a flurry of activity.

Prologue – Demon King
It had been a day like any other. The days did not change much, here, in the land of Utron, upon the Shadowed Continent. Shadowed? He had laughed, when he finally saw the truth of things, all those years ago. The sun still shone upon the ‘shadowed’ lands. The o...

Chapter 121 – Religion
To say that getting possessed by a Goddess was taxing on a person is like saying a typhoon in the Pacific is a ‘little bit wet’. A mortal frame, even an undead one like mine, is simply not equipped for such a thing. Such a body is incapable of holding the full...

Where the radiant orb had been, there now hovered an angel. Not a true angel, for I did not detect any Holy mana in the area, but there was no other word for the being that hung in the air before us. After all, what else would you call a creature, human in shape...

Chicago had one of the lowest rates of supercrime activity in the United States. That was, of course, thanks to both the Squadron Supreme and Storm Front, the Illinois state-sponsored superteam, being headquartered there. Sure, regular crime still existed, bu...

I was gentle with the young rogue. The first time. But I wasn’t the type to go for only a single round, unless it was a quickie like Astruth gave me in town. And that was more like picking up a light snack, rather than indulging in a full meal, like I did w...
