Wish upon the Stars chapter 660

The next hour or two was excruciating. Callie tried to get me to dance with her to take my mind off things, but in the end I just sat there staring at my shoes for two hours until my mom called for us to come find her. We hurried down the hall after the page she sent, and when we entered the surprisingly plush back room, we found Zeke lying in bed looking drained.

“You almost died. Ass.” I accused my uncle. “What am I supposed to do if you kick the bucket? Do you know h...

Because really, who could resist? lol

Wish upon the Stars chapter 659

We had been walking through the halls for about twenty minutes when everything changed. A wave of…something passed over us, and as it did, the ground changed, black grass sprouting below us as light from a crimson moon spilled over our forms.

“It's over.” Sighed my mother in relief. We all turned, and sure enough, Tricorn was gone. The whole central location had vanished consumed by the colossal domain of the universe's most terrible monster.

In its pla...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 658

My dad didn’t seem even remotely worried about the fight. Tartarus struck out brutally with a palm, aiming for his head, but the two mercury demons (I could see now that they had horns and tails, though they looked pretty generic otherwise) appeared in front of him. The palm smashed into the head of one, splattering mercury everywhere, while the second had ducked down and pointed his horns at the skull masked man’s stomach.

The momentum of the attack gored him, and he sna...

“You alright?” My mother asked Zeke as she briefly put a hand on his shoulder to steady him. My uncle looked ghastly, half his face a pristine porcelain white, half a burned and mangled mess. All three of the fighters from our side were watching the skull masked man, worriedly waiting for his next move.

Zeke nodded tightly. “M’fine.” He mumbled. “Split my attention trying to help you. Rookie mistake. I’ve been getting cocky, just because I’ve never heard of th...

A Novel Approach chapter 2

Winslow doesn't have nearly enough developed characters lol, so yes I brought in some supplementary material, unlike Shout at the Devil this won't turn into a true crossover, I'm just using characters to fill out the roster a bit.

Wish upon the Stars chapter 656

“Did he just eat that lightning?” I asked in shock as the battle began. None of the shockwaves were reaching us, all contained within Lark’s Domain, but I saw some of the A-rankers spreading out, slipping through the edges. Apparently holding thirty S-rankers while fighting ten of them was tough even for the Vampire, because the small fries were slipping the net.

Bethy, who looked relieved he was ok, just giggled. “Of course not. That would be silly. Vampires don’t ...

I was frozen in place, eyes locked on the doors as figures began to slowly exit. My grandfather was staring at them grimly, his face more severe than I’d ever seen it. “Sasha. Watch the kids.” He stalked forward, and I saw the other seven S-rankers walk out to join him. They stood in the center of the empty dance floor, waiting for the group of outsiders.

Thirty of them. Five from each door. “Mom.” I said quietly. She held up a finger, then glanced at Zeke. He reach...

A Novel Approach chapter 1

And we have my newest story. A Novel Approach takes place in Worm, with some unique elements from other media, and the MC is going to be a more dark grey character, similar to Nicky. He won't be at that same level of swagger right away, but he'll get there lol. ANA will be releasing tuesday and thursday for the foreseeable future. Hope everyone enjoys.

Wish upon the Stars chapter 654

“Ugh.” I moaned in annoyance. “Why are there so many of these?” I was getting ready for ANOTHER banquet (hopefully the last of this annoying conclave) and I couldn’t help but think back to the plethora of banquets and ball’s and various other formal events we’d had to go to since our journey started.

Callie giggled at my annoyance, adjusting my cape. “Because they give people a chance to show off, mingle, and eat good food. Everyone loves a fancy dinner. Banqu...

We woke the next morning feeling surprisingly refreshed. It too me a second of sensing to realize Benny had sat himself outside the door and allowed his spiritual cleansing field to wash over us. Since I hit Sapphire it hadn’t really been useful, but it had definitely helped in this case. I shook Callie awake, checking to make sure she was feeling better too.

“G’way.” She grumbled, smacking at my hand and face. “Sleeping.”

I laughed at that. “Ye...

Evening in Paris

Wish upon the Stars chapter 652

Benny was understandably excited about creating a Path. This had been gnawing at him for a while, based on how relieved he seemed to be. My best friend had his own pride and liked to play things close to the vest at the oddest times. He hadn’t wanted me to know that he was just as worried about things as I was, even when he was pissed at me.

I wanted to help him study some techniques for his new Path, but unfortunately, we ran into a problem pretty quickly. Or rather, a few...

Greed God chapter 410

And so it ends. Four hundred and ten chapters, nearly nine hundred thousand words, and Greed God is over. This story was longer than I expected, honestly, but I had a lot of fun with it. Nicky was a unique and interesting character, and I learned a ton writing him.

 My newest story, A Novel Approach, takes place in Worm and uses a bibliomancer like system. It'll be starting on Tuesday and will have a Tuesday Thursday release schedule. Though starting out with a bit less swagger th...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 651

After we got home from the interrogation, I immediately headed to see Benny. The whole bullshit game with Deathwish had made me think long and hard about power and how or why it should be used. Thinking back to my conversation with my best friend, I realized I’d fallen into the same trap I’d seen so many Ascendants fall into.

It wasn’t that I prioritized power, that was an obvious conclusion. I loved Benny like a brother and didn’t want to see him die. No, it was that...

Wish Upon the Stars chapter 650

The rest of the night was fairly uneventful, and when we woke up the next morning it was time for us to make the trip back to the Central Location, this time for the unenviable task of being questioned about everything we’d seen and done in the Temple and Aetherbright Academy. I used up my wishes (Fantasy, to improve my technique foundation) and after getting those seventy points, we just headed out.

“Are you ready for the questioning?” My mother asked nervously. “Did...

Second to last chapter. I like to end things on an interesting note that could lead to a potential sequel eventually (it won't be for quite a while if it happens) hope everyone is excited for the finale.

Wish upon the Stars chapter 649

“I can’t believe that worked.” I told Zeke after we got back to the inn. We’d gotten Felicity a room, and the list of regulations she had to follow would be passed down tomorrow at the first day of the actual conclave, which would begin following the end of the games. “I expected him to fight it. Craygen is like his Benny, right?”

Zeke shrugged. “I told you, the WCP isn’t made up of good people. Aiden is just as big of a bastard as anyone else in power. More, ...

After the celebration, it was time for me to meet with the representatives of the factions. There was a prize for the winner, usually something like chits, Skill crystals, or personalized enchanted items. Of course, we’d done all this for one reason, and I was going to use the opportunity to get face time with the various faction reps to have Felicity transferred to our branch.

“This is a good thing you’re doing, Shane.” Said Callie as she stepped up beside me. It was...

The big man with the hammer smirked down at me. “Not bad.” He said in a rumbling voice. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone just shrug off that blow before, especially not to the skull. That’s a hell of a defensive Skill.” He glanced at the ground behind me. “Don’t bother.” He said lazily. “If I couldn’t crack it, your strike won’t do the job either.”

I looked at the spot he’d glanced at, and sure enough a green haired girl materialized from no...

I grimaced as we approached the final temple. “Shit.” I said succinctly. “Should have guessed.” We stopped at a small copse of what looked like olive trees a few hundred feet down the mountain. To my Eye of Revelation, the forms of about a dozen other contestants were clearly outline against the grass and shrubs between us and the temple. “There’s twelve of them up there. Doesn’t seem like they’re all together, they’re in a few groups.”
