Past Life Hero 2, ch 50

Max walked into Amy's apartment with a grin. She gave him a hug and a quick kiss. "Any problems on the way over?" she asked.

"No, not at all." Max actually enjoyed the walk from the Summoner Academy to Amy's apartment. Both ways, he got an up-close view of the stable portal system that the ...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 49

Max stayed busy with a variety of activities. He visited group combat classes, engaged in self-study at the library, worked out, refined his mana body, and trained his martial arts students. With such a packed schedule, Max didn't have much free time to begin with. However, he somehow managed to ...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 48

The next day, Max got up and began his routine as usual, but he could already tell that something was different. Usually, Lavinia would greet him shortly after he came out of his bedroom. But so far, she hadn't said a single word to him.

It wasn't until Max was snacking on a muffin at a tab...

At first, it was kind of awkward to explore the junkyard while being chaperoned by Randy, a stranger, who was obviously trying, and failing, to make small talk with me. Within a few minutes, I just began to ignore him, carefully looking in rubbish piles, inside cars, and even inside old trunks fo...

People had never truly asked me about all my strange gear before. I made a snap judgment–deciding not to ever tell the whole truth about it. Truth mixed with lies or misdirection would be best.  Before traveling with Aldina, I probably wouldn't have even thought about it, but now that I kn...

The junkyard was across the street from an ancient, run-down strip mall that had already seen better days even before the end of the world. The windows of the salvage store in the strip mall and the next-door seafood supermarket had both been busted out, and judging from the debris outside, some ...

My bravery about the new quest that I had received, and my dismissive attitude towards it, melted away the longer I walked. Even though I had grown a lot recently, I still had terrifying, crystal clear memories of the giant casually ripping the roof off of my rental house.

A bounty on the g...

Miles “Shrug” Lindstrom received a quest almost 2 years before the world ended.  He took the idea of an impending apocalypse seriously and prepared meticulously. When the countdown day finally arrived, it marked the end of his world as he knew it.

All of the equipment and provision...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 47

Max had his head propped up on one elbow as he talked to Amy, both of them lying in his bed. But for what felt like the third time that night, he was zoning out, his mind elsewhere. A lot had happened in just a few days.  He had learned a plethora of new things as well....

Past Life Hero 2, ch 46

For days on end, Max threw himself into work, letting everything he'd seen and learned simmer in the back of his mind as he focused on creating beats, refining pills, fixing things, and making himself stronger.  He knew from experience that sometimes, when given new data, it was b...

I had my chapters seriously screwed up in google docs when I first wrote this.

It's fixed now!  It's just too bad Patreon has such a terrible UI.  I love sharing this stuff with you, but all these dumb changes Patreon keeps making for creators sucks the fun out of it sometimes. 2024-02-02 12:34:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Past Life Hero 2, ch 44

Altered consciousness was not Max’s specialty.

At first, Max wasn't sure it was a dream. In fact, he wasn't even aware of his own identity. The scene began to play out, and it was only after a few moments that Max caught himself, preventing himself from being totally engrossed in what wa...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 43

At martial arts practice, while the others were straggling in, Momo pulled Max aside. She did not beat around the bush. "I can smell another woman on you," she said softly. Max didn't feel a response was necessary and just continued to listen. "I wish for you to know that my decision has currentl...

Max followed Amy past the counter of the restaurant.  The woman working there smiled at him again. Max reflexively smiled back. Amy led him into a small hallway where the public restrooms were, but she stopped in front of a different, unmarked door. The door was solid, appearing to be made o...

The day came for Max to meet Amy for lunch. From the moment he'd set out, Lavinia seemed grouchy about the entire situation. "What is it that you don't like about Amy?" asked Max. He walked along the pathway to the summoner at the gate, his four guarding golems following at a discreet distance. 2024-01-19 21:36:53 +0000 UTC View Post

When Max realized where Lavinia was leading him, he ruefully shook his head. Figures, he thought. Presently he stood in front of the door to the common area that he used to shower in. Max tried the door. It was open. Once inside, he checked the door to his old room out of curiosity. It w...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 39

Max stared at the ceiling, thinking about the meeting with the headmasters he had earlier that night. It felt like there was suddenly a lot going on in his world.

Part of him wondered if he wouldn't be better off just graduating as a Summoner and leaving the Summoner academy. Supposedly, wh...

Past Life Hero 2, Chapter 38

Max placed the tablet back on his wrist, his mood pensive. He had just finished having a messenger conversation with Amy, the store clerk. He had wanted to thank her for the cookies she sent, but she hadn't been working the previous day or the day before that. This was the first time he had gotte...

Past Life Hero 2, chapter 37

About a week had passed since Max had gotten used to the small additions to his routine. During that time, he had produced a good number of mana pills, and he had received praise in a letter from Mong Hao Han.  How the Summoner Headmaster knew that Max was getting stronger, he had no idea. &...

Past Life Hero 2, Chapter 36

Before his friends left, Max and Lance had a serious discussion about his new sword, and they decided to leave it at Max's for now, until Lance was stronger. The reality was that such a powerful weapon would be enough for Lance to protect himself if he had only the scantest bit of power himself, ...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 35

There was a flurry of activity as the group passed through the summoner gates. It seemed that the guards weren't there just for show or only to scan students. As Max watched, one of them manifested ectoplasmic, bladed arms growing out of his shoulders.  Another one held up a hand and flaming...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 34

Max had had a surprisingly fun time in the central area, but he was glad to be heading back to Summoner Academy now. All of the packages he'd bought were still wrapped.  Opening them all and flashing that amount of wealth in public probably would not have been a smart idea.

After he’...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 33

Max got distracted checking out a couple of bookstores and had to remind himself that his friends were waiting on him. Then he began searching in earnest for the last item he'd come to the Quartet for. The first two stores had magical gear but not what Max was looking for. He began to wonder if h...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 32

Buying weapons ended up taking longer than Max had anticipated.  He’d actually been expecting more people to be curious about the golems following them, slow the group down that way.  Luckily,  almost nobody actually even seemed to have noticed.  That was great.   ...

Past Life Hero 2, chapter 31

Max met Lance outside the cafeteria before heading to the central area. "Are you ready?"

"Of course," said Max.  He gave Lance a weird look.  His friend had been acting a little strange about their planned double date and dating in general.  This was ironic considering Max st...

That night, Max suddenly felt a tugging on his elbow. He woke up from a deep sleep and troubled dreams of his childhood on Earth.

In the dream, he had been a relationship counselor trying to help his parents reconcile so they wouldn't get divorced. The dream w...

Past Life Hero 2, ch 29

For the next two days, Max killed time as productively as possible. He did all the things he normally would do with a few things added in.  The additions were a bit more time spent researching magic and more intensive reading in the library. But he also made time to meet up with Lance in per...

When Max was finally heading to the cafeteria from his dorm for dinner, Lavinia's voice sounded mentally in his head. Now that you're going to see Momo, isn't Lance going to be pissed again that you didn't tell him that you ...
