Before  we left the library to explore, I gathered everyone together. We could  have left right after that, but I made everyone stop as I turned to  Rana. "Ok. This place is teeming with heartless, I won't insult you by  comparing you to them, it would be like comparing a full person to a  single cell organism, but there is a connection, and more specifically,  there's only really one way to kill th...

I'd  like to claim I had some sort of suave response to that, like I shot  back with some cool retort, but I'll be honest. I just kind of gaped.  First of all. Tits. Which, you know, exposure or not, are always fun.  Secondly, milf tits. Which I had much LESS exposure to, and which  honestly I lusted after a bit more than tight teen jugs, something about  older women just got my engine running, and Mordi...

I was in pain. So very, very much pain. I was considering inventing a  new word to describe this sensation actually, because pain seemed like  it was underselling exactly how much this sucked. Not even agony was  enough. I raised my head from the dirt to glare at my tormentor, seeing  his ever present grin shining down at me as if in mockery of the state  he'd left me in. I peeled my lip back in a snarl. "Die."

Well,  I tried to say die. It come out more li...

I  spent a few hours catching up with Kit after that. The first hour was  basically a guilt fest where we each tried to claim responsibility for  what had happened. Eventually Zee and Rana came and found us apologizing  back and forth and my girlfriend had no trouble telling us both to just  shut up and hug it out. Which we did. once that was done the rest of  the night was spent going back and for...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 241

We got in early the next day, as requested. Well, day was a strong  word. We arrived in what was technically the morning, despite the lack  of sun and any waking people to interact with. We caught the Beast Lord  Garden initiates going HOME for the night when we got in, and I used all  five wishes for them to bump up my Perception, since it was my lowest  stat. Fifteen points onto an even hundred was simple enough that I  didn't have to actually think about it, w...

It  was time. Today was the day of my wedding. The entire process had been  both far too long and oddly short, seeming to take forever while it was  happening and being gone much too quickly. Thinking about all this, I  was almost oddly anticipatory about the ceremony. Not for any of the  reasons a normal groom would be, I didn't think, but for other reasons I  hadn't really considered before.

A week. A week of constant ass kicking, three days of the group  fights alone, then four more days of group fights while Abel did his  best to actively distract us. That week got me seventy points, as well  as seven attacks to stockpile. Thirty five wishes. The seventy points  were distributed to my stats mostly evenly. Fifty to Fantasy, bringing  it up to a hundred and one, and then ten each to Perception and Creation  bringing them to one hundred even and one h...

"Daddy!"  Morana's voice was cracked with despair and relief. "You're ok! Are mom  and mama here? Wait, no I can feel them now. I couldn't before...like  you were all missing. It felt terrible. How do normal kids put up with  not being able to feel their parents in their heart." She clung to me so  tightly I suspected before my godhood it would have damaged me, at  least outside my armor. Since I wa...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 239

It took us the whole day to manage to properly internalize each  other's positions to an instinctual level. I was almost positive we were  doing it in a way that shouldn't even be possible, though I suspected  the senses we got from the Fantasy stat were playing a part. Once we  managed that, we were allowed to go home, with instructions to come back  the next day bright and early.

When we did return, I got  my wishes out of the way first thing, another fif...

I had always been an intelligent guy. I'd predicted every problem that  came my way with ease, maneuvered my way through situations that would  kill lesser men, and survived angering people with the power of literal  gods. I'd been in some bad situations, and I'd never felt too worried  about them, always sure I could escape. This was not a situation like those had been.

"Come on baby, I just need you to try...

"Ow!" I yelped as a rock smacked into the back of my skull. The stone  turned to powder on impact, having been thrown hard enough to break on  my higher ranked head. I reached up to grip my head with a hiss of pain,  spinning around to try to spot the person who threw it. Something I had  no luck doing while wearing this gods damned blindfold. I heard a  chuckle to one side and whirled to face that direction. "How is this a  useful training exercise?" I snarled a...

We followed the ruin platforms as far as we could get rather than mount  the floating islands. I had wings but most of us couldn't fly, so it  seemed like a good idea to save the whole defying gravity thing for the  last possible moment, since we were going to end up carrying anyone who  didn't have that gift. It didn't end up being necessary. When we got to  the edge of the ruins, a weird line of l...

Minor note.

Just to let everyone know, the advance chapters for Wish upon the Stars are going to be staying at 20 when they get there (that would coming up on saturday). Advance chapters will be releasing five days a week just like the ones on royal road at that point, so no need to worry, I'll just be taking the weekends off for WUTS. Wanted to let everyone know ahead of time though I doubt people will be much affected, five days a week is still pretty good, though I'll be honest I'm looking forward to ...

The trip to the information hall was a short one, just getting our  missions out of the way. We managed to find a second one that we had  accomplished by accident, which was nice, and between the points my own  ranking jumped up to two hundred forty five thousand eight hundred and  six. Ir probably would have been a bigger jump, but a week or two with  no progress had caused a serious ranking drop for us, and honestly I was  lucky I managed to get higher than I h...

We  showered for much longer than expected. Cherry's new and improved ghost  body didn't need to breathe, which led to some fairly enjoyable blowjob  antics, and Zee became unspeakably jealous that the platinum blond was  guzzling all her supercharging cum, which ended with her playing around  with Sindara to catch my attention and get me worked up. I was lucky I'd  decided to shower so early, because I ...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 236

Celine and Martin were both thrilled to see us, though with Celine it  was hard to tell. Still, I had enough Perception to pick up the minute  signs of her excitement to have her boyfriend back. Not that it was at  all obvious from the sedate way she approached him for an admittedly  warm but brief hug. Jessie all but tackled her in a hug of her own after  that, then hugged Sarah for good measure because she hadn't had a  chance to do so earlier, and it was hard ...

The  first thing I noticed about this place was the obvious. Past the  cracked purple stone was what looked like a set of ancient ruins. The  castle I could see a ways off was connected to them, but cut off from  the ruins themselves...like, a wall of waterfalls. I didn't know where  the water was going, but it was pouring into a basin that never seemed  to fill. Deciding it was worth risking, I too...

After breakfast we went and got the others, It was decided we could  do the debrief on how they'd grown on the way, so piled into the car  after saying goodbye to Cass and Cark and headed for the Academy. As  usual Jessie drove, because we wanted to arrive at our destination via  landing and not smash into the ground in a horrifying explosion of  twisted metal. Callie had mostly gotten used to being forbidden to  operate the thing, so she hardly even pouted, thou...

Slipping  into the secluded building where I was supposed to be waiting out my  'tantrum' was easier than expected. Understandably, Dark Opal did NOT  announce to the world at large that someone had broken into his  stronghold and robbed him blind. Well, not blind. Nearsighted maybe. It  was still galling to me that I'd had to leave behind all that wealth. I  could have had so many points. Enough to upgr...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 234

The whole 'checking on stat gains' thing, didn't really happen until  the next day. We talked a while about the Pavilion, but eventually I  caught Jessie starting to nod off and we decided to head home. She'd  been life force juicing us all for most of the battle, so I wasn't  really tired yet, but I knew I was going to be. Jessie's ability was  damn convenient, but it wasn't infinite or free. The energy could be  supplied, the life force healed you and energized...

I think Neron expected that revelation to be a lot more devastating  than it was. I mean, he said it like it was some huge reveal, but I had  absolutely no clue who that was. Granted, the weird shift in the ambient  temperature and the creepy feeling of being watched that cropped up  after certainly gave it more punch than it might otherwise have, but  still. I was honestly a little embarrassed for h...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 233

Once we got everything worked out with the contracts and we got our  wishes granted, we went our separate ways, agreeing to meet up and  discuss the details of the tournament soon. Even as I walked away  though, I officially regretted the wish I made. I could have asked for  anything, and I would have been able to get it. Rare Skills, items, some  more stats, there was just so many options to pick from. Instead I'd  gotten an upgrade to a Skill I already had and ...

Getting  out the way we came in would be possible, but it would take too long.  We still have some of the Ignorance Draught, so I just grabbed Zee  around the waist and jumped off the parapet of the castle with both my  girls. Wings would have probably broken the effect, so all I could do  was use wind magic to slow my fall and really hope people were too busy  with the ongoing attack from a foreign coun...

Wish Upon the Stars chapter 232

By the time we arrived at the tent where we had met Cicero the  churning in my stomach had turned into terror. No matter how thoroughly I  told myself my friends were fine, seeing so many dead combined with the  long walk had me terrified of what we would be walking into. I'm  imagining Jessie like that or having to tell Cark's sister her brother  had died, was more terrifying than any bone dragon or elite fighter I  could imagine.

Even Callie noticed how s...

I  expected stepping through the door of the temple to be some big change,  like the library had been, some kind of shift in the world, but really,  I just stepped into a dank stone building. Granted, the place was lit  with creepy dull green torches, but aside from that and the weird  jumping shadows it was exactly what it looked like from the  outside...except the huge pit of boiling liquid da...

Once Beat went down it was only a matter of time until Abel and Mel  took down the others. Sever was frantic and distracted after seeing his  brother dropped like that, and that wasn't a safe way to fight Abel  (assuming you could claim such a thing existed). Still, with the gaps  they were able to beat the two of them into submission, with Mel  overwhelming Serenity with a split second attack out of nowhere that  forced her to lose track of Sever while he was di...

I  had spent a while trolling around for the perfect item to use for  Cherry's upgrade. Luckily, she was only F ranked, which meant I only  needed a G ranked item to upgrade her. Buying it actually resulted in me  gaining a thousand points to offset some of the upgrade cost too, so  that was nice.
