Grand Game 093
Chapter 93: The Law of the Pack
Day Two of Michael’s Pact with Erebus.
“MICHAEL!”
The shout reverberated in my mind, reaching me even in the depths of oblivion.
“MICHAEL!”
The cry came again. Loud. Insistent. My mind was helpless to resist its call, and I was unceremoniously yanked out of the sea of unconsciousness into which I’d sunk.
I surfaced back into awareness.
Who… is… that?

Day One. Night.
I didn’t wait to see what became of the two bounty hunters. I suspected that they wouldn’t last long against the rhomodillo, and I didn’t want to be around when the beast searched for a new target for its ire.
Journeying deeper into the forest, I adjusted my course to a more southerly one. If I didn’t find the wolves, I intended to head for the sector’s safe zone and see what could be learnt from its inhabitants.
To my surprise, I f...

Chapter 91: Big Game Hunters
Day One of Michael’s Pact with Erebus.
Not unexpectedly, after I killed the last serline, a slew of Game messages opened in my mind. I scanned through them quickly.

Chapter 90: Hunted
Day One of Michael’s Pact with Erebus.
I cannibalized the priest’s robe I’d looted from Saben’s stash, cutting it into long pieces of cloth—I had no other use for it—and used the strips to clean my gear and weapons. Then I saw to my player progression and after a moment’s thought, invested my new attribute point.
Your Mind has increased to rank 6.
My Dexterity didn’t need to increase yet, and I had ...

Chapter 89: The Outside World
Day One of Michael’s Pact with Erebus.
I stumbled out of the portal and fell to my hands and knees, struggling to catch my balance.
I was blinded.
Light. White and brighter than anything I had yet felt in this world, filled my vision. I squeezed my eyes shut. Bloody hell, that’s bright.
I waited for a heartbeat or two to allow the dancing afterimages to fade. Then I opened my eyes to careful slits.

The Grand Game, Book 1 by Tom Elliot
One man. Assassin. Caster. A new world. And a Game that is as brutal as it is complex.
Michael finds himself in the realm of the Forever Kingdom, with no memory of how he got there and who he is. Even so, he must participate in the Grand Game and forge a new destiny for himself.
Dropped into a dungeon of monsters, and strange magics, would you survive in a Game where to lose means death?<...

I blinked.
Then, blinked again. But what was before my eyes didn’t change.
Nothing. That’s precisely what I saw. An unvarnished blackness deeper than I’d ever encountered before filled my vision. There was not even a pinprick of light to relieve the darkness and, if not for the ceaseless din of the crowd, I would’ve thought I’d died already, and this was the special hell the gods had reserved for me.
But I’m not dead.
The thought slowly penetrated....

Dragon Mage 117 - Aftermath
370 days until the Arkon Shield falls
This is troubling news, archmage. I don’t like surprises, and the humans are entirely too full of them for my liking. Step up your efforts, and make sure that village is ours before the Arkon Shield falls.
—Supreme Mystic Lionel Biaxal.
Hours later, freshly bathed, dressed, and rested, I was seated in the tavern, sharing a table with Sanctuary’s leaders and Sierra’s representatives.
The table, like the r...

Supreme,
There has been an interesting development. The human insurgents have reclaimed the settlement from the orcs’ allies. My people have yet to determine how the insurgents managed the deed, but this will make our own task easier.

Ash and I picked the quietest corner of the camp to begin our work. Hurtling downwards the way a hawk would, the fire elemental climbed out of her dive...

Chief Zel Foghorn,
Something strange is going on in Sanctuary. Shaman Jhaven is not responding to my communication requests, and with the scrying ward he has placed about the valley, I can’t see into the village. I advise sending a patrol north to find out what is amiss.
—Shaman Blackspear.
As we raced through the village, I noticed that the sky had begun to lighten. The day was nearly upon us. It w...

I dragged my steps as we marched upstairs, and Tara held back too. “Here you go,” she said, holding out Ash on her palm.
“Thanks,” I said. Acknowledging the elemental’s cheerful greeting, I stowed her in my pocket and gave Tara a tired smile. “Good job in the orc camp. Doesn’t look like they suspected a thing.”
Tara shrugged. “It was easier than it should have been. I got the feeling the orc’s don’t think much of ...

“Get up,” I said, rising to my feet and withdrawing my senses from Ash. “They’re on their way back.”
“She did it?” Thursten asked, hope warring with disbelief on his face.
“She did.” Smiling, I filled him in on the conversation I’d overheard. The most dangerous part of the plan was done, and now all that was left was for us to close the noose. I could scarce believe it, but things seemed to be coming together, and a...

I did not exit the temple immediately. Wyrm Isle was as good a place as any to do what I needed to do next and likely safer than much of Sanctuary at the moment.
Ash had gained only one Technique through her transformation, but crucially, the number of etched spellforms that she could hold had increased. Unfortunately, the size of her crystal only allowed me to teach her rank one spells—which meant no ranged attacks for Ash just yet. But w...
