MM - Chapter 138 - SECRETS LAID BARE

Dr. Pamalaiha Shroufand

- Carter City, Raine’s Abode -

Pamalaiha was no fool. She was well aware of Raine's subtle maneuvering. By letting his woman take the supplement first, he revealed a desire to put her at ease. Being raised in the Noroji Clan made her instinctively wary of such manipulations. There was never a moment where trust was rewarded, ever. Her earliest memories as a little girl were of Nanny Grey attempting to kill h...

MM - Chapter 137 - REWARDS

The car zipped down Intercity Highway 5. Tall, duracrete towers that put old-world skyscrapers to shame-filled the view, the sight of them distracting Mel. Raine swapped the autopilot on and disabled his watch's jamming. He glanced at Pamalaiha's reflection in the rearview mirror. She hadn't taken her eyes off him since he returned from the warehouse. They were nearly back to his place, and even though she was sitting still with her hands clasped in her lap, Raine could tell she was on edge.<...

MM - Chapter 136 - FRIENDS, OR ENEMIES?

If it wasn’t evident that Pamalaiha was keen to Raine's plans before, it became painfully obvious over the next two hours. Once she finished a few tasks, she fully devoted herself to instructing Mel, guiding her step by step through every phase of creating a batch of ReGen. Raine recorded the whole thing, not missing a detail.

Pamalaiha was careful to conceal the how or why behind her methods, and Raine was glad to see it. Her desire to maintain secrets, and hence job security, proved...

MM - Chapter 135 - DESTINY’S CATALYST

Vaneese of CronGate

- Somewhere in Carter City -

Vaneese stared at the message, her heart unwilling to beat for long moments as pain squeezed her chest: Jerred was dead. His was the least likely to fail of all the teams she sent. Their target had been one of the most vital in the city, and Raine KongRu being there in advance was one betrayal too many.

Like salt in an open wound, she received a ping about a live vodcast from Aly...

MM - Chapter 134 - BAPTISM

In the past, there was a tragic day in Carter City that would eventually be referred to as The Baptism. The newly arrived CronGate made their presence known with a splash, taking out dozens of top officials and executives in broad daylight. Their goals were simple and obvious: to announce that they were now in control and that anyone who stepped out of line could, and would, be dealt with.

All this happened before Raine was recruited and forced to relocate to Carter. He had no personal ...

MM - Chapter 133 - DOUBLE TROUBLE

Vaneese of CronGate

- Carter City -

Vaneese cut the vodcast feed with a snarl. She finally understood everything. It didn’t matter if the new champion—Raine KongRu—was ZionLine's Alaric; after proclaiming he was merely recruiting for his master, it was now obvious he was merely another hidden pawn of Master Torune. It was Righteous and CronGate all over again: Astra Infernum and Alaric were a backup in case CronGate made a mess...

MM - Chapter 132 - THE FIRST OF MANY

Angel of PsyCore

- Carter City - 

Angel put one foot in front of the other, trudging down the cramped, barren hallway. The walls were too close, the ceiling short, built for people not yet fully grown. She was not a large person by any metric, yet she felt oversized now and did not like it one bit. She had only been in Carter Middle School for a few minutes and already dreaded spending the next month here.

“As instructed...

MM - Chapter 131 - FAMILY

Raine left the head clerk's office with the same evil grin stuck on his face. The plan they concocted, if it could be pulled off, would result in outrageous sums of gold. Such a good thing wouldn't be simple; to even begin, he needed significantly more capital than he currently had.

Mel and Celeste were set to pick him up soon, so he hustled to get several balls rolling toward his newest goal. Thankfully, the clerk was able to resolve a couple of the more troublesome tasks, freeing up R...

Cover Art and a break

Whew! We got it done. 16 edits this week between RR and Patreon was... a lot. Worth it to thank everyone for helping with the Amazon release.

It's not doing the best; we had a rocky start with Amazon adding it to the wrong genre tags despite us putting them in correctly. Got that fixed, and now we have a new, hopefully more clickable cover.

It's been an insane couple months and we are ...

MM - Chapter 130 - PLAYING FAVORITES

[Unique Quest: An Ancient Evil updated]

[You and your allies have successfully confirmed the existence of, and conquered, a demonic invasion within the Alabast Lowlands. Return to the administrative offices of the Silverlight City Nobles District for your rewards]

Raine brushed off the pesky notification, senses on full alert as the group materialized in the deep chasm. They were engulfed in the darkness of night, not even t...

MM - Chapter 128 - MORE!

Raine checked Fizgore's projected landing zone and was relieved it wouldn't be on any of the many drops appearing from the rapidly disintegrating boss. The tunnel was illuminated by shimmering blue and golden orbs, each containing some of the best items in the current ZionLine. Raine went to work, zipping to and fro, the cavern growing dimmer with each acquisition. 

Meanwhile, Fizgore managed to stick a beautiful superhero landing. He hopped to his feet, patting his body, “I-I’...

MM - Chapter 127 - BROTHERS IN ARMS

Rocky’s body collapsed, filling the arena with an avalanche of sound. “Talerra! To me!” Utilizing the raid leader’s privilege, Raine’s voice cut through the racket and drilled directly into the girl’s skull. She snapped from the shocked state she’d fallen into. The others, unable to see the undeniable changes in the boss, continued doing their best despite writhing in agony. “Healing potions!” Raine barked, sprinting with full Discipline toward Rocky 2.0.

The boss turn...

MM - Chapter 126 - ROUND TWO, FIGHT!

“How does it feel to be blind, huh?” Raine didn’t care that the boss couldn’t hear him. He flipped upside down, jumping off the air to slam weapon-first into the center of its back. Debilitating Crush wreaked further havoc on its Defense, reducing it to a quarter for twelve seconds. [-8,673]

Raine didn’t stick around after smashing into the Avatar of Rhashkahal. He Lunged into the air right before Rocky came down in the middle...

MM - Chapter 125 - HUNGRY LIKE THE…

A horrified, gut-wrenching scream echoed through the tunnel. Mel fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face as Raine vanished from sight down the demon’s gullet. She tried to scream again, but her inhalation was trapped by a diaphragm that refused to unclench.

“Stop freaking out, I'm fine. You act like this is your first time seeing someone get eaten by a demon,” Raine’s voice shocked the group into action. They spun around, weapons up. Save for Mel, who, sobbing, threw he...

MM - Chapter 124 - SNACK TIME IS BEST TIME

[Soul Flame of Amanesh (doused): (Marvelous Gold) In his final years, Amanesh was subjected to extensive torture that doused the flames of his soul. Reignition requires a soul-drenched flame of significant intensity]

[Obtained 158,400 Superiority (1550% bonus for defeating a raid noble 5 levels above you)]

After the paroxysm’s brazier crumbled to dust, a tawny bubble containing fifteen gold coins appeared. Next to it was a brightly shimmering golden bubble with a small chunk of black coal. Raine snatched both, eyeing his peripherals suspiciously.

Martial Messiah is live!

Here it is, the big moment that determines if I can afford to keep writing this amazing story. For those of you with a kindle unlimited account already, it would mean the world to us if you took a few moments to drop the story a rating on Amazon (no need for a full review, even a rating is a huge help.)

If we can get above 50 ratings/reviews by Wednesday, I'll drop an extra four chapters this week.

We can do it! Every person counts! Fight-O!

Apologies and update

First of all, I need to apologize for dropping the ball on D.God over the last few weeks. I'm sorry you haven't gotten any new chapters!

Unsurprisingly, completely editing book 5 for audio script, then discovering the new editing software, and going back through book 5 all over again in a super-rushed editing pass (around 200 additional hours of work after I thought I was done!) burned me out hard. I haven't been able to write any new MM since then either. Luckily, I have a ton of MM c...

MM - Chapter 122 - BREAK ON THROUGH!

With his brain still pumped full of Discipline-fueled adrenaline, Raine almost felt slow as he tore across the ruined cobblestone plaza. The pain from using the technique was growing steadily, and his health continued to drop by 100 every second. There was no time to waste. Instead of strafing like before, he ran straight for the noble, directly into a hail of booming whips. Bloodlust and Connection were set to full-blast, ensuring his attributes would not dip while the thickened air minutely...

MM - Chapter 121 - A WORTHY FOE

Vaneese of CronGate

Vaneese’s morning was about as far from enjoyable as it was possible to get. After retrieving Origin of Sin’s death squad from the airport, she’d assigned one of her underlings the task of meeting their needs. The man had promptly been found in a closet, his throat slit. Her people were rightly terrified of who she would assign next. Their worries were unfounded; if the damnable assassins were unwilling to be catered to, they coul...

MM - Chapter 120 - AN UNEXPECTED GUEST

Raine wasn't the type to jump to conclusions without testing things himself. He landed on Rocky's shoulder and commanded it to run away from the city. A kilometer distant, he looked the rahk glahm in the eye, “Stay here and wait for me. I'll be back soon.”

Raine jumped, sending messages to Richtor, Rhino, and Fizgore to clear up any potential time misunderstandings. Landing softly on a cushion of thickened air, Raine triggered Grace of Nirvana, reveling in the brief...

MM - Chapter 119 - PULLING THEIR WEIGHT

The raid proceeded deeper into the city with extreme caution, remembering well Kevin's demonstration of how fun traps were. Unfamiliar with spotting the pressure plates, off-colored bricks, and explosive-packed hardware the city was brimming with, Raine gave them a crash course in the form of tossed pebbles. While not enough to trigger the traps in advance, his efforts at least indicated direction and general location. Meanwhile, his ragged thoughts categorized everything he knew about mental...

MM - Chapter 118 - ONE STEP DOWN THE PATH

Talerra's eyes were having a hell of a time convincing her brain that what she was seeing was real. Somehow, Alaric controlled his inhuman speed, moving so quickly around the Unliving Flame that he might as well have been teleporting. He appeared on its far side, and his arm vanished, creating a gust of wind that tore the creature's body clean in two.

He was gone again in a blink, materializing to its right, except this time he was upside down mid-air like some character from a child's ...

Chapter 117 - CITY OF THE UNLIVING

- Carter City Interterritorial Airport -

Red-eye flights in and out of Carter City tended to favor the sparse side of life. On this particularly dark night, that feature was more pronounced than usual. The few flights coming and going were nearly vacant, their seats bought out at the last minute by a proxy AI specialized in clandestine operations. This further reduced the airport’s foot traffic to the borderline of abandonment.

As if they could sce...
