We  slipped past the guards as they freaked out about the machine  malfunctioning and headed for the roof. A journey made infinitely more  complicated by the absolute asshole who had designed this place not  bothering to put STAIRS or a DOOR to the roof, and just slapping a  fucking ladder on the size of a fucking skyscraper like it was a decent  idea. I mean, I could fly so I was fine, but it was unden...

Finding the Vitality section of the crafting hall wasn't much  trouble. The lines were separated out with helpful signs at the end. The  hall really was huge, I hadn't even been able to see this section from  the door, especially with the crowds. In the Vitality section I went to  the back of the line. Lapis had made it clear that the best way for a  new solo crafter to build a rep was to scout out some clients back here  where they were stuck waiting for a while...

Barbie  was pretty much unconscious for the ride back to the house. Luckily she  slept through Whisper getting Blockbuster out, so the mission was  accomplished. I woke her up when we got her home and then sent her on  her way. She was too dazed to really argue, though she promised to look  into things with Knightfall for me. Once she was gone I slipped into my  costume, had Fafnir transform and ar...

The  metal of my sword clashed as it slammed into the apparently solid black  flame weapon the giant monkey was swinging around. The weapon was made  from the same horrible energy the witch has inside her, so absorbing it  was out even if it wasn't solid, but I didn't need to. I blitzed  forward, blade swinging, and used the skills I'd honed training against  some of the most skilled combatants in my wo...

As expected we made our way back to the Academy the next day.  Shadowthorn didn't come with us this time, since she'd already  graduated, so it was just Callie, Jessie and I. We touched down in the  same field outside the grounds and Jessie and I headed straight to the  Creation faculty. Callie parted ways with us on landing, heading into  the campus to find one of the other faculties more suited to her skills.  I'd never actually found out her stats but I was pr...

Barbie  was out of her clothes and in costume within a minute. Well, most of  her costume. She had on the boots, cowl, cape, utility belt and crouched  on the seat across from me her soaking cunt exposed, with only a  trimmed landing strip above it to highlight how naked she was. I grinned  at her. "Gods, you're a hot little slut aren't you? Did sucking my cock  in your mask get you excited?"

The  trip to Azkedelia's tower took three and a half days. We'd traveled so  far to get to the realm I'd expected it to be even longer, but luckily  the shitty cliff tomb hadn't been in the exact opposite direction, just  sort of adjacent. Arriving however hadn't been the call to arms I  expected. We did in fact beat the eclipse, which was great, and we met  up with our reinforcements, which was also go...

The first thing I did when I woke up again was take the pill I'd  gotten from Rustle. I had the thing on me and in the excitement of the  whole imminent death thing I'd forgotten about it completely. I'd never  taken Alchemical medicine before, so I was actually really interested to  see what would happen. Ten whole points was a lot, but it was within my  tolerance limit for artificial points even at H rank since I'd never  boosted any stats before. Even the food...

The  battle for best cocksucker raged on once more. Blowing down Barbie's  fantastic throat in that sexy little mask was definitely enough to put  her back in the lead over Whisper. Despite her serpentine gifts my  little viper was only marginally better than Barbie at fellating me to  begin with and that mask made me cum twice as hard as normal in the  redheads pretty little mouth.

We  were really lucky the others had left, because we absolutely would have  had to leave some of them behind. The hot air balloon was barely able  to fit the seven of us. The cornerpups spent the entire trip hanging  from the ropes and basket by their claws and yipping joyfully as we  listened to Ahamo regale DG with stories about how he ended up in the OZ  and met her mother and just generally bonding...

I called Zeke as soon as we got back to the tower. I didn't waste any  time heading for my room and when I spun him up on my scan ring he  answered pretty quickly. His face was exasperated. "What now? In order  to find you a place to live I need to actually do that. I can't focus on  negotiating things like a lease when I'm on a call with you twenty four  seven." His voice was teasing despite the chiding words, and he was  clearly in a good mood.

I  got through the rest of dinner with minimal interaction, and the old  man allowed it. I imagined he knew I was deep in thought and wanted to  let me percolate. After I went to sleep I woke up and immediately called  Barbie. She picked up pretty quickly. "Hey Nicky, what's up?" Not in  costume then, she never used real names in costume. Which reminded me  that I wanted her to bring that over. I ...

The  Realm was FAR. It took us days of walking to get there. I'd gotten used  to everything in the OZ being crowded together. Most of our trips had  taken a day or so of walking, but this place was a fucking trek. On the  upside it gave us time to decompress. Dreamer and Zee and I got closer,  spending nights talking as well as the occasional tantric top up for me,  and I was looking at a solid twenty f...

The inside of the crafting hall was the first building that seemed  small on this campus. It wasn't actually any tinier than the others mind  you, but it was so swarmed with people that it just felt...cramped. A  huge variety of people in costumes that almost beggared the imagination  were mixed throughout the entire are, some in groups, some in pairs. The  paired ones seemed to be wealthier students talking direct commission,  the groups looked like poorer stude...

Coffee  with Zee was a blast. She was just a cool chick to hand around with,  and she really loved her magic stuff. She could talk about it for hours,  and between my senses and my normal charming personality I made decent  progress with the sexy sorceress. We agreed to meet for breakfast in a  day or two, but sadly I had to cut things short because of my dinner  plans. One does not flake on Maxwell...

We  made it past the longcoats easily enough. Took us a while because we  had to walk serpentine to slip past their ranks, but we didn't run into  any trouble. Once we got to the maze DG took off at a sprint, but the  rest of us kept up easily. She stopped in the middle of a dead forest,  sitting down on a swing hanging from a blackened tree. Without looking  up, she began to swing back and forth.

After getting our coins, I was eager to look around the place. We  were going to be coming here for a while, and I wanted to get the lay of  the land. I turned to Shadowthorn. "So, what now? You said we won't be  starting classes, but can we maybe register for some of those tests or  tasks? I've been here for ten minutes and I already hate seeing my  ranking so low." I tried to think of a way to boost it, maybe some kind  of crafting job.

The  next day wasn't a busy one. I sent Waylon out to be fitted at my tailor  for a suit as was proper for a bodyguard. I had him pick up a bunch of  really nice ones that were the wrong size and find any that fit him  cheap or not, then I dropped two grand outfitting him with a series of H  rank duds. I mixed in a few bulletproof vests from the stash Whisper  had brought over so we ended up with tw...

It  was a bit crowded at dinner, but that made the homey atmosphere even  stronger. We enjoyed the food for a while, just making pleasant  conversation, but in the end things came back to business. Ralph asked  Cain about news from the resistance and Cain told him he'd been hoping  to hear that from him. Before that could go further though, DG cut in  abruptly. "Do you know anything about a machine that...

We took a skyride to the academy. The air shuttle was overkill, even  given the size of this city. The residential floor actually had a garage  built into it where people could pull out of the building, though I  wondered how they prevented visibility from the street. I hadn't seen  any gaps in the tower from the outside. We all stepped into the skyride,  another limo like Callie's, and the thing pulled smoothly out of the  garage in such a way that I couldn't se...

Looking  at the large dark skinned man looming over me I grinned. "So, how do  you feel Croc? It took, so that binding is in place, but I'll try not to  use it if you keep things cordial. Works out better for me if you  aren't constantly trying to weasel out of orders anyway. You have a  problem with something I ask you to do you let me know. Doesn't mean I  won't make you do it anyway, but I'll hea...

We  went to sleep after Raw did his thing, making sure to get some rest in  preparation for the next day. With the images from her memories Wally  set off in a search pattern. Even with his new speed it was going to  take him some time to cover the huge amount of space, and that was  assuming it even looked similar enough to find. Because of that we  headed south the slow way while we waited for him to...

The next day found me well rested and eager to check out the Academy.  I'd stayed up pretty later actually, watching all the footage I could  find from the various competitions. Luckily Vitality helped offset the  tiredness from lack of sleep and I had plenty. I'd caught maybe three  hours but I felt rested and ready to start my day. I probably could have  just gone without at this point, but I LIKED sleeping, so I wasn't  going to get into that habit. I was goin...

Killer  Croc, as almost everyone knew, liked to hang out in the sewer. Sadly,  in a city like Gotham, which was half metaphorical and half literal  sewer, it didn't narrow things down. Luckily my little viper still had  her contacts with the Religion and they had more than a few people down  there. It took her no time at all to find Croc, though unfortunately,  knowing where he was didn't exactly gu...

The  papay, it turned out, were NOT all dead. They were however, apparently  herbivores when they could manage, which was bullshit, because we  absolutely could have grown them a tree. DGs magic seemed to have some  connection to the OZ because when they surrounded us and I got ready to  throw down it brought the tree she was leaning up against to life,  creating a bunch of weird fruit that looked like ...

The first thing I did once I got into my room was, of course, call  Zeke. I probably should have worried about spying or something, but Zeke  always seemed pretty sure of his ability to keep our conversations  private, so I trusted him. I'd gotten this scan ring from him in the  first place, for my sixteenth birthday, and I was guessing it wasn't  exactly normal. It's funny the things you don't consider when you have  no reason to wonder.

Dinah  didn't know she was pregnant now. She wasn't aware of the little quirks  of Eros and Psyche, or even it's existence, so I was easily able to  send her off to her party with a smile and a kiss so I could think. I  however, was entirely aware of how my ability worked, and I knew that my  little slip up there meant that now I had a fucking kid on the way.  Which would be...awkward, for her to ex...

We  agreed to hear the old man out, and his body seemed to relax. "Thank  you. And I'm sorry if I scared you all back there. There's never really a  good time for the old beast into man moment. Best to just rip the  band-aid off and just...hope for the best." He gave an apologetic shrug.  I had to admit he had a point, even I was pretty shocked by the  transformation, so it was inevitable that anyone w...

My palms were sweaty as we made our final approach. I hadn't been  super nervous on the way over, honestly, but now that we were here I was  poleaxed. The sheer SCALE of the city was so alien to me I could barely  process it. Not just the hundred BILLION people in it either. This was  the oldest city on the planet, the first city settled by the  Conglomerate on Callus, which meant it had the most time to grow, to  evolve.

Negotiations  with Penguin were a bitch.The little bastard nickel and dimed me on  every possible aspect of the deal. He introduced stipulations and fees I  hadn't even imagined, and whittled the price down to half of what I tried to start with. Which was, ultimately, fine with me, because I quoted him a hundred thousand per gun to begin with, so he still ended  up paying fifty grand, a considerable markup fr...
