Early heads up that there will be no chaps today. I want this Earth arc to be shorter than the prior arcs, so I'm trying to weave a lot together...

Well anyway, I'll make up one of the missed chapters.

Randidly could only shake his head at Sulfur’s whining. “Relax. You are not being replaced. But it’s time I have a working arm. Besides, when I have two working arms, I’ll be much more willing to get into melee fights again.”

Although the sort of foes I’ll face ...

Elmer Arrietti, fifty-two year old bachelor and current Police Commissioner of Kharon the moving city, had both a literal and figurative headache on the morning that Tatiana had walked into his office at 6 A.M. and offered the services of a very special...

So it turns out all I needed to do was think about a key ring...

Randidly tried his best for several seconds not to be insulted, but some very bitter thoughts bubbled up to the surface of his mind despite his best efforts. I suppose the Philosopher’s Key is a real object and I hadn’t really ...

Rubbing his chin, Randidly nodded in pleasure at the explanation of the Skill. Considering that his Skill Ruinous Drive only added to damage, getting a passive Skill that helped his allies’ images was extremely valuable. Especially because the boost wasn’t that Randidly’s own image was incorporated int...

No… I can’t be party to this… 

Captain Rebecca Loft had just clenched her fists and resolved herself to finally ignore the missive from her superiors; she was going to pull back her squad. That was the moment when the monster descended from Shadowthorn Peak.

Randidly knew he shouldn’t find the situation funny, but it was difficult not to laugh. He readjusted his hand on his chin to cover his smile and give him a reflective air.

He stood in his Alpha Cosmos, standing on one of the highest peaks in the rugged mountain range that had acted as a border between the...

Only one tonight. Most of this week's chapters are explorations of what it means to live in System Earth for me. So I hope you'll forgive me for meandering a bit.  Also, am I crazy for thinking that Delilah should be almost three without Dungeon time...? I should go back and do a timeline...

Obyrn Myyr, leader of the ogres that had defected from the world connected to Earth through the Ogre Gorge and staunch ally of Donnyton, narrowed his eyes and scanned the surrounding underbrush.

The houses below her quickly began to collapse as the giant bloodbeast adjusted its footing and ripped right through the wooden walls nearby.

The day Vualla left for her training was a strained moment for Randidly. They met alone, on the edges of the old supply track and looked at each other for a long time. Those same unsaid conversations from Ileot’s alcove hung between them. Both were awkward about saying goodbyes, so neither gave breath to the an...

Randidly released a light breath and let his focus settle around that mysterious drop of violet liquid in his chest. Especially after seeing her adjustments so far, Randidly trusted Vualla. So now it was a matter of determining how he would strike out at Ileot Swacc. While he was weak, they needed to act decisive...

The more than Randidly used Skills that were fueled solely on his own pure Aether, the more he marveled at the difference in fidelity that he felt during the activation of the Skill. Monstrosity’s Appalling Physicality transformed the power in his muscles to a ridiculous degree. It also seemed like his Control t...

Yet even as Randidly realized the weak state that Ileot was in, his face tightened into a scowl. He hadn’t noticed it at first, but Ileot had minutely adjusted his position as though he had known Randidly would attack from below previously. The blast from Randidly’s Skill currently had him careening back towar...
