A conversation with Dumbledore.
2024-06-12 23:14:42 +0000 UTC View PostWe continued on our trek, getting through seven more temples in record time. On the upside we’d sailed through the fights pretty easily, perfectly utilizing our abilities…and on the downside, I was now out of clones. I’d only had eight left (though two in reserve from Callie that I’d never ended up collecting since I had the full ten) and we’d had to use an extra on the sixth temple because one got eaten before I could see what the guardian was (it was a giant carnivorous plant). 2024-06-11 23:39:49 +0000 UTC View Post
the end is nigh folks, only four more chapters left! hope the hype was worth the wait, I've been planning this one for ages and I'm super excited about it.
2024-06-11 23:36:37 +0000 UTC View Post“Should we be leaving him alive?” Frowned Holly as we moved on from the temple, leaving the horned man (whose name I still hadn’t bothered to learn) behind. “I mean, we killed all his friends, if he comes after us…”
Aside from not wanting to stain my victory with his blood after showing how easily I crushed someone at that level, I had my reasons for leaving him alive, though. “Nope. He’s not getting up for quite some time. Stashing him in the empty temple wil...
2024-06-10 23:46:07 +0000 UTC View PostWe were all in a fairly good mood as we exited the first temple. Holly and Serah both seemed impressed with my capabilities, which would make combat easier going forward, and I was pretty impressed with the power my twin had shown. I’d seen her fight before in the Ruined Soul Temple, but either she’d been holding back or she’d been training hard since then.
This resulted in a lot of patting each other on the back, and high spirits…until we got to the next temple in th...
2024-06-07 22:47:19 +0000 UTC View PostWe approached the first temple slowly. It was a massive black marble edifice with veins of gold that glowed dimly in the sun. Staring closely, it became clear that the glow was pulsing slowly, like the beat of a single, colossal heart pumping energy through the building. “Well that’s certainly ominous.” I said as I pointed it out to my sister.
“Awesome, a living building.” She said without enthusiasm. “Maybe it’s the guardian. I wonder if it can turn into some k...

Coming up on the end. It's gonna be a big one.
2024-06-06 23:00:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe next two days were a blur of training. Aside from getting my wishes in (I’d gotten all one hundred forty points in Fantasy) , Callie and I spent the rest of the C-ranked games and all of the D-ranked preparing. I taught her what I could about techniques, and my mom came back and weighed in a few times when she was free, and she used it to push me harder to perfect my own.
It quickly became apparent that despite my talent for it, my grasp on techniques was rudimentary. I could...
“Ok.” I finally said with exasperation. “What the actual fuck is her power?” Looking at Zeke down the line of chairs, I briefly noticed my mom wince at the language, and admittedly had to hide a small chuckle.
She knew that despite us getting along better, I was an adult, and the time for things like calling me out on my language had passed. I wasn't a child so I wouldn't poke her about it, but I also wasn't planning to tone it down. I was who I was.

Nsfw warning, probably one of if not the last of the story.
2024-06-04 23:16:58 +0000 UTC View PostAs soon as the announcer called the match to order, the various people on the screen blurred away from each other. No one had started with a token, so there was no point in attacking anyone else at this point. Any violence would just be slowing down the ones who were serious about scoring points.
Of course, common sense was far from common, and at least two people hadn’t gone far, waiting beside some trees to attack stragglers.
What WAS surprising was that ...

Some on one time with Seras (basically) before the big raid.

The date with Mary because the downtime arc is coming to a close lol.
2024-06-02 19:39:21 +0000 UTC View PostThere were dozens of people out in the central clearing of the forest. We could see them on the giant screen. The screens had been hopping from one person to the next, and currently, the image was fixed on Felicity. I winced as her empty symmetrical face appeared in the image, eyes flare and placid.
Knowing what had been done to her made it worse, somehow, seeing what she was. I imagine what it would be like to have your personality sanded down by conflicting compu...
2024-05-31 22:35:43 +0000 UTC View PostWhile Callie sparred with my mom, I wandered off to find some wish targets. I decided since I was learning about techniques I would go ahead and ask around to get some Fantasy. Seventy more points put me at four thousand three hundred and twenty, which was nice, and by the time I got back from my search the two of them had finished their match.
My mom looked pleased with herself, and Callie mostly looked sulky, though she seemed to be hiding a small smile. Neither of them wou...

Dinner with the missus. Downtime arc will be ending soonish lol.
2024-05-30 22:51:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe Supernova Step was…complex. While it was technically a method of shaping fire, it required mobilizing Fantasy in a way I hadn’t really done before. While Might was the stat that gave Skills form, Fantasy was the one that gave them shape. It was a complicated and advanced application of stats that I hadn’t seen before, and it took me a few tries to get it.
While Cosmic Collapse operated on pretty simple principles that the fire could accomplish on its own, my mother told m...
Nsfw warning. Check the tags.
2024-05-29 23:29:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the banquet was uneventful. We were too small potatoes to get face time with any of the other representatives really. My grandpa greeted them, but since he wasn’t admitting to BEING my grandpa right now, that didn’t help me or my friends much, and even Chelsea didn’t warrant an introduction to any of them except Princess Levinia.
No, the most interesting thing to happen was after the banquet when Callie and I headed to my mom’s place with Chelsea. We were ...

There's something about Mary. Hope everyone is enjoying the downtime arc, because its going to get nuts when we get out of it lol.
2024-05-28 21:19:57 +0000 UTC View PostMeeting the Vampire was amazing, and seeing old Arble again was great, and I had a lot of questions…but they all fled my brain as the herald announced the next entrant. Or rather, started to, because I missed the actual words as I turned and stared in awe at the next entrant to the banquet.
A colossal man in shining red with black accents, a long crimson cape flowing behind him, strong jaw and long dark hair as familiar to me as my own, since I’d spent most of my formativ...

Some downtime with Amy, and information about the mission.
2024-05-26 20:04:27 +0000 UTC View PostStepping back into the building felt…different. Not the building itself, obviously, I’d been in there five minutes ago, but my own perception of it. I felt stronger, more confident. Which was nuts because I’d just essentially committed myself to taking over the universe. Or at least like…a seventh of it.
We found my mom and sister standing with my grandfather within seconds. As I approached, Callie stepped toward me and reached up to adjust my cloak on my shoulders, u...

Bit of a scuffle with some powerful wizards...most of them did not come out of it well lol.
