The next week went by in a blur. Seven days, fourteen wishes. The promised five per day had been put to good use by Camden. With the other two free, I’d put most of my time and points into working with Benny to start. Twenty points per day, traded for density shifted attacks. Since I was higher rank than he was now, I could hold more of them, netting me twenty of them per day instead of ten.
A hundred and forty points into Might left him at over three thousand in that stat (three thou...

I was walking on air after my duel. Not literally, though I COULD do that, but emotionally. I was finally getting to the point where I could be considered a real contender at my rank. All the training, all the Skills, all the adventures, it was all finally paying off. Pound for pound, I was able to fight it out with real powerhouses at E-rank despite my stats being markedly lower.
And it felt good. Not just being strong, but the way I was doing it. Not unlike Callie, I’d always felt s...

The next day, post training, I went ahead and cashed in some of my banked wishes so I could use my powers to pick up some actual stat gains. I was anxious to see how much rollover renown I was still getting, and not progressing for so long was really bugging me. I granted four wishes for Camden as per the contract terms, and then had him find another three of his people interested in stat reallocation.
I was up to ten points per wish now, and he had several interested parties once we go...

After training with Randall for a while, I went to bed. I was exhausted and needed to rest up a bit before formation training the next day. In the morning I met with Camden, granted seven wishes (he’d started having me give formation skills, albeit low level ones, to his elite units) and stockpiled another two, bringing my tally to fourteen.
I was planning to use a few of those for my own stats soon, I was falling behind, and a big jump was necessary to rollover some of that godslayer...

Defense. One of the biggest Issues I had facing me. My Impact was a little higher than most, but I was still substantially weaker than the majority without some kind of buff because my stats were so evenly distributed. I had quite a few defensive skills like Mountain Stance that would do the job, but I always ended up stacking a bunch of them together to stick out attacks.
As I’d seen with Belial and Mephistopheles, my forms presented an amazing chance to combine and refine my abiliti...

Monday morning came just as fast as expected. Demia had gone over a rough outline of the formation we’d be learning, just to be sure I understood it enough to direct my recruits, and once we’d passed out all the spears, we were all ready to get started training. After a quick stop at Camdens for wish allocation (I granted an extra brining my stockpile to eleven) we all met the training field to get started.
I marveled at my new armor as I walked, how light and responsive it was, how...

Once we finished up the last of the spears Callie took her half back to her own barracks. I passed mine to Gabe, but before I could meet up with Demia for instruction I got a message from Camden. Alister showed up in person to let me know that I was requested in the basement of the manor to begin work on my new armor.
The seneschal escorted me to the door down to the lower floor, opened it, and then stepped back. I raised a brow at him. “You’re not coming?”
He snorted. “So...

After resonating everyone and giving us a basic sketch of the spears we were kicked out of the forge. Apparently finding out about the time crunch and seeing just hot many items she was going to have to make sent Sonia into fits of rage (not that those were uncommon for her according to Camden) and we were all banished, told to return only when individually summoned.
Since today had been long and exhausting, we all said our goodnights and headed for bed. The library in the morning, then...

Despite being in a forge and looking at the handling of glowing metal, it was surprisingly cool down in the basement. I could see the air warping closer to the cube, but I suspected some of those glowing runes trapped the heat.
As I watched, the glowing shape I could see with Eye of Revelation, slowly transformed, being compacted and refined until it went from a relatively oblong structure to a massive holographic representation of what I could see would eventually be a breastplate. It ...

Hey all, 3rd book of Wish upon the Stars hits amazon on thursday (hence the deleting of the chapters on here and the other platforms to stub for amazon) anyone who wants to check it out I'd really appreciate it, a lot of work went into editing and I'm really excited to see how everyone likes it.

Camden was, as we expected, furious. The normally composed noble grabbed the table we usually sat at under the end an without blinking, hurled it sideways, smashing the end into the fireplace in the dining room and shattering the brickwork so thoroughly we could see the next room through the hole.
“Fucking SPENCER!” He bellowed. “A whole planet? Are you fucking KIDDING me? I know he’s a fucking monster but this is beyond the pale. And Sara? How could she be part of this?” He ...

Chelsea and I headed back to the inn directly from the site of our…discovery. Anna split off to take care of her own affairs (which is to say, figure out how the hell we could survive this) and my sister wanted to dive into research immediately, but I called her back. I could understand wanting to learn more after such a terrifying sight, but I had other plans for the moment.
Seeing those stone lions down there, thousands, hundreds of thousands, all at least F-rank and many higher, ha...

The Undertrek was a whole different world from the surface. I'd expected it to be dark and gloomy, but the biggest difference for me was the silence. Even with my Focus to block most of it out, the surface was teeming with life and sound. Wind, small animals, distant people. The million little sounds of life that had become like a background symphony to which we all lived.
In the Undertrek there was none of that. No wind, no animals that I could hear...

"This is not a present." My annoyed sister informed me. "This is grunt work. Just because I like to read doesn't mean you can force me to do research and pretend you're doing me a favor." She gestured to the small pile of books on the table. "That said, I did look through the list, because I agree it's important, and I skimmed the volumes she gave you. My final determination is...I don't know."
I blinked at her. "That's not a determination." I said fl...
