After  the arrival of the depleted promethium stockpile (dad finally got it  shipped out) I was back up to around five million GP, which meant I had  plenty of points to make a weapons cache. I'd also managed to stockpile a  serious chunk of items in Gemworld, and after contacting Zee for a  location, sent Cherry to go pick up a bunch of useful vamp hunting items  I could use for ...

"Scala  ad Caelum?" I said blankly. "Stairway to heaven? Only one I can think  of is a fairly overrated song that everyone learns to play on guitar  when they start out." I knew plenty of Latin from my time researching  for Jim, but I'd never heard that phrase used in that language.

Merlin  chuckled. "An amusing reply, and one I quite enjoy. You know, I was on  earth during the nineteen eighti...

The next week flew by in a blur. We did end up talking to Celine, but  on consulting her we decided to wait to attend a gala. According to her  none of the really impressive forces would bother going to the  pre-party because they hadn't shown off their strength yet. Without  proving what they could do it would be harder to operate from a position  of social superiority. Celine estimated that ninety percent of the  important guests would wait until the end of the...

"You  think you're real fucking cute don't you?" I asked my dog archly. The  furry little bastard had basically taken over the house, and I'd had to  basically pick him up and carry him out to get him away from the girls.  Magnus gave a soft whine and put his head on my thigh, looking soulfully  up at me with shimmering, mournful eyes as if to accuse me of wronging  him somehow.

In the end, Abel was the one to use the Skill crystal. Despite  Callie's interest in trying it and passing on her Balam techniques to  others more easily, Abel was a Master Candidate in Ragam. The martial  art was extremely powerful and dangerous based on what we'd seen from  him, and if we wanted the best possible results from the crystal our  best bet was to  let him do it.

Sadly, since it had been  prepared for Callie, the crystal was only G-rank, a...

My  head was killing me when I woke up. Honestly I thought I'd left this  particular habit behind me, but weirdly it's almost comforting to know I  still have limits, if only so I know I can still surpass them. Still,  it took even me a second to clear my head as I came to, and when I did, I  realized my head was somewhere soft. I looked up to see the worried  face of my girlfriend. I grinned at her...

By the time we rejoined the others, Mel and Abel had mostly managed  to talk down the terrified members of the Pavilion, though most of them  were still shooting fearful looks at my uncle. Zeke ignored them, of  course, and was sitting with Alden, who had offered him a beer and was  having a grand old time talking to the younger man. Although...I wasn't  sure how true that was. Alden looked older, but Zeke was a B-ranker. For  all I knew my uncle and parents coul...

After  I finished up with Zee and let her get dressed I made her clean me off  with her mouth before putting my dick away. She rolled her eyes at me as  she saw the small movement behind us indicating Thorn slipping back  into the library. "Of COURSE you made sure she noticed." She staggered  slightly when trying to take a step and I caught her, receiving a glare  from the sorceress. ...

Getting back to the Pavilion was different this time than the last.  Before it had been a quick stop. The night we spent waiting for the four  and arranging everything had passed in a flash. Now though, now we were  home. Our home. our place, that we actually owned. Not like the house  Zeke bought. And speaking of my uncle, he was waiting for us when we got  into the Pavilion.

"Hey, you're back." He said casually  from his spot on the bench. To my shock, ev...

Zee  had decided to set the trap in the most simplistic way possible. While  complicated mechanisms were fun and interesting, they were also prone to  failure. Keep it simple stupid was a tried and true motto for the ages,  so Zee just set the door up to drop and seal in the next group of  people to enter once they passed the threshold. The rune she'd been  holding had kept the trap from priming unti...

Pietro didn't appear to have any idea how to handle watching his  E-rank bodyguard get eaten by a mask. Which...I mean, that was fair. I  wasn't really sure how to process that either. It had been horrifying.  Still, I was much more interested in putting down this arrogant little  pissant who had brought a whole crew of zombies to wipe out me and my  friends just because I put down his child stealing psycho of an  underling.

"Y-you...what do you want to do?...

I  spent the next several hours talking to Thorn, and honestly, it wasn't  too bad. She was a sweet girl, if a little melodramatic. My Mammon  persona was simple enough to keep up, and she was extremely vulnerable  to flattery so the time kind of flew by.

Of course, I  didn't spend the whole time on her, we d...

"So..."  I said lamely. "How do you know Cat?" Claire Temple was...not what I'd  expected. The girl looked like a south american supermodel and had a  mouth like a sailor. She'd cussed me out for about ten minutes when I  came in from my phone call, and seemed to consider me about as likable  as a rattlesnake with Ebola.

She glared at me. "I stick my  tongue in her cunt sometimes....

With  Cloud and Tifa onboard, not to mention Leon, we had the twelve illness  immune fighters we could swing. Since Aerith couldn't come anyway she  stayed behind, but we had enough people with us to do some serious  damage to whatever the Organization could throw at us. I assumed that  they had more people now, but so did we. My main worry was that now that  we DID have more people, we wouldn't be a...

Surprisingly,  Nightwing DID have a lead for finding vampires in Gotham. I was pretty  shocked, but apparently Gotham had played host to bloodsuckers before,  and the league's resident almost-chad had dealt with them before.  Meeting him downtown at a pub with a REALLY obvious name was a decent  enough lead. Stopping outside I, I stepped up next to Nightwing and just  stared ...

Malachai had me pinned with his gaze, but he looked wary. He also  ignored Pietro's whining completely, stepping around the guy to block my  line of sight of him. "Might I ask your name?" He said cautiously. His  tone confirmed what I'd suspected. Someone had forcibly stopped that  pressure earlier. He probably thought it was one of the other E-rankers,  but he had to know whoever it was, they were stronger than him.

Of  course it could have been a D-ranker...

It  turned out I was short one vial. I hadn't really done the calculations,  not that it listed how many in the email. Everyone was fairly excited  about the viral immunity when I explained it could be trusted a hundred  percent, but with one person needing to miss out, I was afraid I would  need to volunteer myself. To my surprise though, Aerith spoke up. "I'll  skip it." Everyone looked at her in ...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 306

Pietro's face still REALLY pissed me off. Sadly, I was still  incredibly drained, and without access to my soul strength my options  for dealing with him were limited. Still, I'd just beated my first  F-ranker, having successfully fought up ranks like a true elite, and I  was kind of riding high on the confidence.

Glancing  dismissively down at the tied up Mordaunt and the still form of Rahm,  Pietro sneered. "Trash. Oh, well, I suppose this means I don't h...

After  fucking Silver for a few hours to release some frustration (letting  that fucking Fear host get away passed me off, but starting a massacre  or holding any of the crime lords would have been a mess) I made her  suck me clean and sent her packing with a slap on the ass. Her squeak  was pretty hot as she bolted off to work on tracking down the Order, and  I went back to the h...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 305

It was hard not to panic as the pair of F-rankers rushed us. Rahm was  only newly ranked up but he was already clearly powerful. I doubted he  could now counter Randall, who was a veteran F-ranked beast, but the  other one would probably end up doing the heavy lifting there. Which  left engaging with the new F-ranker to me and Callie. There was no way  we could leave him to Benny, even with that hammer on hand. He could  probably help us out a ton as support, but...

Sure  enough, Cloud and Tifa, the two friends that Aerith had called, arrived  the next morning. Cloud was almost as stoic as Leon, but Tifa was a  tall, cheerful woman with a wide smile and kind brown eyes, who snatched  Sora up into a tight hug the second she saw him. Even Sora, who was  almost aggressively naive, blushed at being squeezed by the older woman,  who was admittedly about as stacked a...

I'd expected anger when I announced that I wanted to kill Pietro, but  oddly, he just seemed...shocked. "You...you dare?" It was like the idea  that I was willing to kill him was some kind of alien concept to him. I  was suddenly really glad my old man had sent me off to grow up a normal  person instead of raising me in the clan. This was obviously what  happened when you gave someone an unlimited amount of leeway and  protection.

"Yeah." I said bluntly. "I...

I'd  seen plenty of amazing things in my life, but that platinum haired slut  bent over the table with her bare ass hanging out of her dress and a  pretty blush on her face was...up there. I had to admit, I'd lusted  after Silver for a while after she sucked me off, and even years later  though about looking her up sometimes. Something about seeing that  prideful bitch on...

The first thing that went through my head as I tried to catch sight  of ANYTHING in the darkness around us was 'why are there no WINDOWS in  this building?' It was pitch black in the auction house, and not even my  Perception was helping. Which...on second thought, seemed wrong. How  was it possible nothing in here was giving off the slightest bit of  light? Considering how much random Ascendant shit tended to glow, there  was no feasible way someone managed to s...

To  my surprise, when we got Auron back to the house, Leon and Aerith  actually knew the guy. The pink clad brunette threw herself on the pale  swordsman. Oddly, I didn't see any jealousy from Leon, nor romantic  feeling from Aerith herself. She was just grateful to see a friend safe,  even if she hadn't know he was in danger. She also seemed pleased to  see Sora, and his two friends, who I learned w...

Fun fact, five hundred pound men made of solid, hyper-dense muscle, have a  REALLY hard time swimming. If I wasn't absurdly strong physically, its  possible I wouldn't even be able to do it. Luckily I AM that strong,  plus my hands are huge, which kind of helps with propulsion. Still, it  was a bitch keeping myself from sinking more than necessary as I swam down to pick up my friends.

Five.  Five crime bosses had come under my banner, nominally 'hiring' me for  protection, but in reality submitting to me as boss. Sadly, with the  city still so in flux, none of them could be considered real owners of  their territory, and so I couldn't either. Hell, considering it had been  merged into a whole, I wasn't sure I could even get points for  conquering parts...

These  fuckers were way more prepared than I was expecting them to be. With  Rana and I together, not to mention Sora and his pals, we should have  had a simple time crushing Luxord and his bony bat buddy. With the  reveal of these two big bosses though, we had to adjust. Rana, being  strong enough to hold her own, naturally took Sephiroth, who was hands  down the more powerful of the two based on my...

The man in the suit, whose name we still hadn't been told, headed up  onto the stage to wait patiently while everyone got seated. Once we  finished doing that, he cleared his throat, his voice somehow covering  the entire room without going above a normal speaking tone. It cut  through all the chatter, silencing everyone still talking. With a wide  smile, the man said. "Welcome, to the Walking Silence Auction! I am your  host and auctioneer, Selwyn Carridan."

The  shock and fear on all their faces was kind of hilarious. Of course, the  moment was slightly undercut by one of the Talons handing me a plate of  lamb and potatoes to replace the one I'd lost. I considered being  annoyed, but found I didn't give enough of a fuck to bother, and just  picked up a lamb shank and bit into the juicy meat. It was fucking  delicous, of cours...
