Chapter 307
Alice reminded Aster of Luna in many of the cat’s best ways. Matt claimed to not understand why Aster, who had certainly chafed under the yoke of their ever-strict manager more than either him or Liz had, would want to run all of her business in this realm through someone so similar. But to her, it was perfectly obvious. For one, she was the boss in this dynamic, and as such, she could offload all serious-ness to her underling.
It was a simple delegation. Ma...

Chapter 306
The wheels of bureaucracy turned slowly, immortal bureaucracy all the more, and that meant Matt managed to escape any non-military meetings for months after their return from the guilds. But months on the outside, and years on the inside of the rift passed nonetheless. So in time, Matt received word that he had a meeting scheduled for “tomorrow.” At least it was a meeting he’d been looking forward to, so he coul...

Aster reclined in the chair and gathered herself, then promptly got distracted by everyone that she could feel standing on the other side of the glass that took up a full wall of the room. On the other side stood essentially every person she knew on a first-name basis in Camp Lightfoot.
Matt and Liz were there for moral suppo...

Drifting through the emptiness of space, Matt listened to Dena grumble with Morgan and Joy. They should have been picked up well over an hour ago, but their teleporter was nowhere to be seen and they were all starting to get grumpy.
Finally, after three hours Allie appeared in the lounge with a casual wave and a murmured “Sup?”
Morgan, who was closest, kicked her right off the bench without hesitation...

Instead of just moving through chaotic space with Drifter darting around like a minnow, they were moving with two full ‘armies’ which meant they were moving at a third of their n...

Agent Atrisa Gloomwood carefully ran a brush down one of the support runes of the backup life support system. It was made out of a single hair, plucked from a Tier 25 antelope friend of hers, and just about the finest rune brush that was possible to make. She was no master rune smith, far from it, but sabotage and spy work didn’t require expertise in the field of runecrafting. She couldn't do that if her life depended on it, but she was a master of manipulating existing ru...

Captain Elkdren jogged alongside his men as they went through the start of an exercise routine. His unit, like all stationed here, had taken serious losses and damage on the frontlines and were being given time for rest and recovery. They needed to be in top condition when they reentered the war. Elkdren was just happy his people were only in the horrifically wounded category, as while they had needed months of healing, none of them had died on their last assault. A fortune ...

Matt was a little surprised when he got a non urgent message about their next mission. He had been waiting on tenterhooks to receive a message that they were being called in to solve some crisis, when he got a message telling him they would meet up tomorrow afternoon to be deployed again.
Getting hours to look over his new armor and weapon just felt odd after their last few missions, where they were being used to put out fires.
General Darrow nodded to the three ...

A scream wrenched itself from Lienna’s throat as she woke up, her body spasming once again with renewed agony. Though calling it a scream was a gross exaggeration, when in truth it was more a pathetic wheeze, as all of the air from her lungs found its way out through the holes in her throat.
The pain meds had worn off earlier than they were supposed to. Again.
She still couldn’t take new ones until the morning. Or at least, she shouldn’t<...

Matt stood up with the rest of Team Zero. Or, most of Team Zero.
There was no time to prep, no time to down their boosting potions and pre-cast their buffs. They were tired, and while they were full on mana, that did little for their taxed spirits and Domains.
And yet, there was an army waiting for them and they had a job to do, so they rallied without complaint.
Drifter was trying to pilot the ship through the asteroid field the...

They had won, but Pator-Sul was probably going to fall once more before Empire reinforcements managed to secure the system. The surviving Empire troops had retreated to underground shelters, but they had still taken heavy losses in the Sects initial push. Less than a quarter of them had survived to see their rescue.
Intellectually, Matt knew that casualties were always higher when figh...

Aiden nodded and waved him away. “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go have fun killing things while I have to sit here for another few months.”

Duke Waters spun through the emptiness of space and launched a dozen [Water Scythe]s at the squad of generals who were trying to stop him from massacring their troops. It was quite rude of them. He’d so much rather be back with Liz, Matt, and Aster, congratulating them for a job well done and messing with them back in the home base, but the Republic just had to launch a deep strike. Honestly, didn’t they know how this sort of thing was done? You had t...
