American Isekai - Chapter 31

The Rail took no more than 6 hours to bring plex and I back to the Capital. That meant it could cover a day’s worth of travel in an hour.

The job had taken just about a week, given all the battles. And the only reason it didn’t take longer was because of my input.

Considering that this world was using magic instead of technology, I wasn’t sure if I should be impressed by the speed of the Rail or if that much should be expected.

Either way, when we pulled into the Capit...

[No no, shake it a bit more, and then dump it with the fruit juice.]

“But I already added the juice.”

[I told you not to, but it doesn’t matter much. Just shake.]

“Fine…”

*Slip*

“...Shit.”

Dirk cursed as liquid spilled all over the passenger seat, one of the cups flying out of his grasp.

Spyte looked down from on top of Dirk’s head.

[You’re trying to be fancy. You’re not that bartender.]

“I thought the technique was...

American Isekai: Chapter 30

“GRAHHH!”

*BOOM*

A body came flying through the air, hitting the side of the Hunker like a cannonball.

It was that Authority 7 Pugilist from the Yeon Guild. The Captain wasn’t able to kill him in the first battle, so he left before coming back again for a rematch. He seemed to be getting his ass kicked once again.

But, when he landed on the Hunker, my neck tingled as I stared blankly.

It folded under his body, the tank warping before flying off its wheels a...

“We’re going to take a teleporter to one of our border camps. After that we’ll have to drive to the Horizon Capital. But since we’re saving a lot of time with the teleporter, it shouldn’t take more than a week to arrive. And this time, you get to drive.”

“Fine.”

Dirk readily agreed. He already appreciated Pandora driving them for as long as she did, so he didn’t mind getting them to Horizon.

Besides, he was sure that she wanted to work on her magic as well....

American Isekai - Chapter 29

“Another attack!”

The next morning, when the sun was only just beginning to peek over the horizon, everyone was woken by alarms and the yell of a warlock.

Usually if I got less than 8 hours of sleep, I would feel groggy and even a bit sick. But I didn’t feel any of that as the explosions of magical spells rattled the Hunker and woke me with a surge of adrenaline.

“5 am? These guys really need to fuck off.”

My nerves had died down as of late. A couple of sudde...

“Finally. Let’s see if we can’t get in and out before my mother comes and places me under house arrest.”

Pandora spoke while jumping out of the truck, stretching her limbs with a cute squeal.

Dirk climbed out similarly, taking in the sights around him.

They were within the central plaza of the chained capital city of the Dark Kingdom. Now more than ever, Dirk could feel the dark mana flooding all corners of this city and keeping it afloat through gravitational repuls...

“Mmm…”

“Oh?”

Pandora glanced to her side. There, Exos’s body shifted in his seat, a low grunt escaping his mouth.

Her eyes turned momentarily cold before she spoke.

“Dirk. Exos is up.”

“...”

Dirk was quiet for several seconds as Exos turned lucid, looking at his surroundings.

But eventually, Dirk left his trance, returning to the real world and glancing at the dwarf in the passenger seat beside Pandora.

“...”

Exos w...

“I’m here for you…”

“Trust me…”

“Ugh...”

Words echoed in Pandora’s mind as she woke up, her mind gradually becoming lucid enough to open her eyes.

Through her mildly blurry vision she could see the ceiling of the car, and underneath her mattress she could feel the rough terrain they were driving on.

But as if realizing she had waken up, the car came to a stop.

Dirk, who was driving, didn’t look back even as everything went silent.

When he saw the Princess, Umangot’s bad feeling instantly multiplied. He realized there was something going on.

His body was rapidly recovering, but it would still be some time before he could even think about casting anything complex.

Not only that, but the Artifact wasn’t something that would just lay down and get captured.

Suddenly, the suit of armor bolted off. It’s direction, the stronghold.

“Ah! Get it!”

Pandora shouted, her hands conjuring a huge...

American Isekai: Chapter 28

Another day passed uneventfully, and the tension only grew despite not having been attacked again.

We would arrive in only three more days.

For the most part, I had been focusing on learning what I could from Plex. And the surprising part was how I actually made some progress.

Through practicing the formation that Maxwell gave me, I was able to hone control over my Aura. And through Plex’s teachings I was actually able to restrain it, just slightly.

If wasn’t enoug...

Dirk watched from amidst the battlefield.

He saw everything, from the death of two Marshals to the entrance of the General and the Church’s Tier 7 Light Mage.

But he never once acted out in order to help. And in all honesty, there wasn’t much he could do against the golems.

He might be able to hinder them somewhat, and there was no way he could be hurt by such predictable and slow giants. But killing them was another matter entirely unless he knew their weakness.

H...

From amidst the dwarven army, Pandora could see dozens of black flags being raised.

These were the wartime flags of the Dwarven Haven. To see these black flags was usually a nightmare. It meant that the dwarven army was at total war with an enemy.

And if you were there to see those flags, it likely meant that you would die not long after.

The Haven hadn’t been in a war for a long time. But Pandora had read many records about past wars, and all of them were basically tales ...

Over the next few days, Dirk and Exos continued to work with the reclamation squads. They would deploy to different zones of the battlefield and collect materials before returning and resting for a time.

But this wasn’t Dirk’s only objective. His primary objective was placing down the dark mana crystals that Pandora had given him around the battlefield as well as throughout the city and even beyond the stronghold.

Not only that, but after reworking her spell, Pandora managed t...

American Isekai - Chapter 27

It was the first real attack on the trip. It seemed like we would have to be on high alert from now on.

I scrambled around a bit, as my entire bunk room was flooded with bodies. Because of that, despite the urgency, I waited for about half a minute as everyone got out of the way.

When I was finally allowed to step out of my bunk, I headed straight for my turret. I always wore my coat since it was my greatest form of protection, especially on this dangerous trip, so I didn’t need...

From General Umangot’s vantage point, he could see Dirk enter combat. And despite being so far away, clarity was no issue with a bit of magic and his exceptional eyes.

And surely, it was a sight to see, even though he couldn’t see some things.

What exactly did it mean to be built for assassination?

Most thought that assassins would only work in the dark, appearing for but a moment before taking a life and slipping back into the shadows. Their attacks were sharp, swift, l...

American Isekai - Chapter 26

Second day of the trip.

There were many people who were on edge, and it was understandable. There had been an assassin in our ranks, so people became wary.

But when the convoy was stopped a couple hours before noon in order to give everyone some down time, a meeting was called.

Turns out, the assassin wasn’t someone of the Tavera Family. Apparently, all those of the Family were given a tattoo, and the assassin didn’t have one upon inspection of his corpse.

Apparent...

It was at times like these that he realized how small she really was.

Waking up in the morning, Dirk took a glance at Pandora’s figure.

She was easily a head shorter than him, and her body that curled up beside him contrasted greatly with her lofty figure that she showed everyone else.

Of course, he didn’t pity her in the slightest thinking she lived a stressful life. Instead, he found himself thinking of Ava, and despite their vast differences, he couldn’t help but se...

“Can I watch you finish your helmet?”

“I suppose.”

Dirk shrugged while walking out of the room.

Upon waking, he and Pandora hadn’t said much to each other. He was still processing their succinct talk last night, accepting the fact that, for once, he wasn’t going to doubt her every move.

After they ate a morning meal, Dirk said that he was going to forge. Since Pandora apparently didn’t have anything to do, she wanted to follow him.

So the two went b...

“Well, I’ll be cutting it kind of close.”

“Yea, seems like you won’t be getting much rest for the next several weeks.”

I yawned as Rayla spoke from beside me.

Since I had to wake up bright and early, she decided to take me to the North Gate after her work in the market.

Our topic of conversation was the fact that there wasn’t that much time left until the Magisterium would send me away on our hunting trip.

This trip with the Tavera Family would take...

American Isekai - Chapter 24

I gaze as the massive inferno in front of me, my head throbbing and a bit dizzy.

The queen had been a sitting duck, relying on its guards to protect her. And she was directly attached to her nest in some grotesque fashion, so she had no way to attack us who kept our distance.

Umara had cast a simple fireball spell, igniting the entire nest and letting her burn. And I put a few bullets into her mouth, ending her quickly.

But the fire didn’t stop and continue to burn until t...

American Isekai - Chapter 23

The battle was intense as a few dozen puppets flooded toward us. Although I wasn’t making a huge commotion, the sounds of battle still reached the immediate vicinity, attracting more reinforcements.

I was forced to fight beside Umara since she was the one maintaining the sound mitigation field. I could maneuver or run like I was used to doing while fighting, which made me a bit anxious.

But I quickly found solace in the skills of my allies. Particularly, it was Heubert who broug...

Amercian Isekai - Chapter 22

Note: I will be posting all the advance chapters I have with this as the first. Enjoy!

I barely managed to get to my room, where I passed out the second I threw my body onto my bed.

I had probably crawled for most of the way there, but I really didn’t care since I had just become enlightened.

As someone who had spent his entire life on Earth, a magic-less world, these sorts of feelings were all new and eye opening. How else was I supposed to react to being able ...

Dirk stopped by at his residence. His thoughts had carried him back here to seek out Pandora.

His room was technically their room. She insisted that they shared because she was really into the delusion of him being her consort.

But she wasn’t at the residence when he arrived. And since he couldn’t possibly guess where she might’ve been, he decided to attend to his main priority.

His armor was almost finished.

In fact, the snake scale body armor was already comple...

General Varmite took Dirk, Pandora, and Exos on a tour of the wall, the true front line of the war against the monsters.

The face of the wall that faced the battlefield was steeply sloped, and on that slope were thousands of metal spikes that pointed out toward the oncoming monsters.

At designated places between those spikes were staircases, ones completely drenched and stained with blood.

And at the frontmost edge of the top of the wall were hundreds of pill boxes and entre...

Update 2:

Hello all. This will be the last update before February comes around. 

I've decided on the changes to the Tiers. In regards to Serum, the Seeker Tier will now receive 10 advanced chapters while the Primordial Tier will receive 25. However, both Tiers technically have more advanced chapters already given to them. 

I will not lock any chapters. Instead, I will accelerate the public releases, bringing us to a clean number over time. As usual, there will be 2 chapters a week...

Update:

Since my hiatus is coming to an end, my Patreon will also be starting back up. There will be some small changes to the Tiers and their chapter counts since OS is finished, and I will be sending another update out to make you all aware of those changes. 

Also, I will be introducing one, maybe two of my new stories to the Patreon pool. Along with Serum, these stories will have advanced chapters, coming at no extra cost. 

My primary focus will be Serum, and looking in the l...

Notice:

My Hiatus is ending. 

Serum is coming back February 1st.

VRMMORPG - Chapter 8

Note: Unfinished chapter

Suri and Aurelia eventually came back with a few sets of clothes. They seemed eager to see Hugo in them, but he rejected their advances to help him dress, disappearing into a room and throwing what he chose on.

In this game world, there were players who became tailors and created all kinds of exotic clothing. Some even produced clothing from Earth, but the fantasy clothing was still the most worn. Not many people wanted to bring the real world i...

Suri made it to Shield City, which was the starter city that Hugo was supposed to spawn in.

Not just her, but several other executives had made it as well. Seeing as how they were all gathering, they decided to meet up at a restaurant.

Of course, the only reason they were meeting up without Hugo was because they couuldn’t find him.

By the time Suri walked into the building, everyone else was already seated.

She looked around at all of them.

Note: The tables don't paste correctly, instead appearing in list form. Just know that it would appear much cleaner on SH and RR.

All around were pedestals with items hovering above them, as if being carefully cradled by invisible hands. These pedestals extended out to fill what seemed to be a treasury.

And in the center of this place was a raised stone platform with 5 pedestals atop it.

Along with those 5 pedestals were two people.
