Psycher Chronicles: Interlude III (Alpha Abraham Jacobs)

Interlude III

(Alpha Abraham Jacobs)

Things were subtle for Jackson West Virginia’s pack alpha, Abraham Jacobs. While he couldn’t quite place his finger on why he suddenly felt as he did, he did feel a sudden need to call a giant pack meeting where every pack member would be in attendance.

The thought was always something in his mind, as a strong pack was one that stayed together. Right now, there were pack members scattered throughout Jackson and the neighboring areas. ...

New Dog, Old Tricks

I was sleeping in a cloud, a big soft fluffy cloud that seemed to surround me and pull me in, until I was floating weightlessly.

Only after a second of this, when my mind started to fully awaken and more of my senses came online did I realize that I was not in fact floating in the clouds, rather I was resting on the ample bosom, hair wise at least, of Ms. Kujo.

What happened? How did I get here?

Those were my first thoughts, when I...

Fast Times and Faster Prices

(Amoni Jacobs)

Amoni sat, knees tucked tightly to her chest as she was wedged between K-Bar, and J-Sweep, in the leather lined back seat of the new girl’s Mustang GT. Two-Tone, the largest of the team had managed to gain shotgun, and thus avoided being cramped in the back seat. Not that the car was particularly small, but rather so many of them crammed into one spot made it so their long legs all but collided with each other as they ...

Paws-ing A Quest

Five.

I am ashamed that it took me so long to realize that I might have missed the bigger picture, by focusing on completing my portion of the land acclimation quest.

Remember, I had a minimum of five key spots to convert, but up to eleven total spots that might need to be fused together in order to make this process truly work. My job was to start in the center and work my way outwards. While the others started at the edges and worked thei...

December 2023 Updates

Good afternoon everyone,

First happy Festivus-Eve everyone. For those that don't participate, I wish you all a happy holiday season.

A few quick updates, Book 1 for Alexa Thyme is already out and available.

Currently I am tracking that the audible version of this will be made available circa February-March 2024.

Also, I have already submitted the manuscript for Alexa Thyme Book 2, meaning that it too will be available for both book and ...

Chapter 174

Beef Jerky, Pomeranian Threats, and Instant Regrets

Chaos.

If I had to sum everything up it would be chaos. To use two, organized chaos. That was how things were going.

I kind of expected the world to throw random tasks at us, with the land reclamation quest for our guild underway, particularly with how we averted the major threat of having neutralized the threat from the native inhabitants.

Now we had to deal with a zone boss, or a boss so p...

Chapter 31

Opening The Box

(Phil Tulley)

This was not what she would have wanted.

Then again, he also knew that she would have wanted him to protect Misha as best as possible. The only way he felt that he could do so was to stay by her side.

Thus, the only option he had was to choose to go with Misha, even if it meant ultimately angering the ghost of his true love. Not that she was around to be able to complain anymore. That was what hurt the mo...

Bibliophile’s Secret Places And Subjugation Forces

(Mallory)

To say that Cass was hiding something was obvious. The fact that something as monumental as the world receiving a message that someone had somehow found the entrance to the legendary Library of the Tribunal, was astonishing enough. Added to that was the fact that Cass, the number one bibliophile in the world seemed indifferent to the information and that is where Mallory and Gwen’s senses b...

Technonic Dreaming

(Misha Tulley)

Phew.

Misha let out a sigh of relief as her mind felt like it was reaching its peak. It had been a while since she pushed herself to such an extent.

The idea she had was a sound one, if a little unconventional by Psycher standards. Her goal had been to transfer her consciousness twice, once from her own mind through the phone infrastructure of this world, then to find one initial access point and transmit her ...

Chapter 172

A Pack of Problems

The second largest entity that I have ever seen lay before me. The first being the great turtle that was a moving tower that I convinced to move from its original spot, to a spot near the center of the Legrand empire.

There was a sky zone monster too that was roughly the same size, which I managed to kill on my first day here. But this one is just longer, and has two to three times as many levels as that zone boss did. In fact, now that I’ve ...

The Wild Ride

“ARF Disruptor.” I crowed out loudly, and instantly regretted the statement as soon as the words of power managed to leave my lips, I knew that was going to be on some highlight gag reel for years to come.

Still, I couldn’t refute the claims of what happened, as the blast that escaped from me was much more powerful in scope than what I had originally envisioned.

Part of this discrepancy is the size and scale of the initial attack, which ...

Epilogue V

(Proposed for Alexa Thyme Book 5, Formerly ALEXiThymiA)

ARC II - Allegiances

“The world is slowly dying. In case you missed the memo, magic is fading from our world. We are in the middle of a crisis, for the first time in nearly a century, there are no more heroes to protect us. Worse there is a disease that seems to be claiming everyone who dares dream of greater accomplishments, of people who dare to try to awaken a class.” Rachel Rivers began speaking.

Psyops

(Amoni Jacobs)

The time had come and passed since Amoni had been both kicked off the team, and once again been able to drive her beloved van. In an ideal world, Amoni would have been off suspension for hitting a teammate, been accepted back to the starting squad, and been given her vehicle back.

There was of course just one problem, well multiple problems if Amoni was being truly honest with herself. First, while Amoni was no longer suspended from the...

“You sure it is midnight?” I ask, wanting to make sure we get the most out of one day.

“Yes, the time just turned, and we are at 12:01 AM.” Mallory confirms for me.

“Okay, send out the commands for us to begin.” I state, as I begin casting Cleansing Rain.

How are we here? How did I avoid the interrogation of Mallory about the Library of the Tribunal? Simple, misdirection and the fac...

The Decision

(72 Hours Later)

(Phil Tulley)

The world that Phil had known had been spun on its head in the past week. First there was the fact that Misha could create fires with her mind.

Then came the death of his beloved Julie. Had it not been for Misha he likely would have followed her. Yet, Misha never gave up, never let him mourn. That or when he could mourn, he was always forced to do so in a helpful manner. Honestly, being near Misha these past ...

Not Stopping to Ask for Directions

Find your way home Cassie, just follow the stars and setting sun Cassie.

Gah!

Have I said how much I dislike being blind sometimes. Well okay, being blind all the time is annoying, but I’ve grown to mostly deal with it. In fact, most of the times my Angel’s Sight is far better than having normal eyesight, as I can see through, around, and into objects that would otherwise be hidden.

First Responder

(Frank Grimes)

The night had been an amazing success. Frank had heard and experienced several things. The most important thing was that his car, and livelihood for the foreseeable future was fixed. Of course, Frank knew that he would have to check this out personally, as this was rather quick for a high school and grandfather with arthritis to have fixed in a week, let alone the day and a half or so that had allegedly happened.

Honestly, Fran...

Chapter 168

Nothing Needs To Be Said

I awoke immediately, no slow gradual rise from the deepest depths of slumber. One second I was out, and the next my mind was fully awake, engaged, and pulling in details from miles around me.

There is always an adjustment period, part where my mind starts filtering out further away visual stimuli, to ultimately show me where I am currently.

Where am I?

Currently, I am under the covers of a patient table. My familiar, Zero, is ...

Psycher Chronicles: Chapter 26 The Fall

Chapter 26

The Fall

Often it is hard to tell when you are the highest, an apex, the zenith. Most people only realize that they met their zenith when the moment has passed. When the inevitable descent is rushing full force towards you.

That descent can be caused by almost anything, a random encounter causing you to be in a bad mood at the wrong time, which then causes you to blow a seemingly chance encounter. To slightly more impactful and less subtle exchanges, like walking ...

Chapter 167

A Breakdown

They say in near death experiences that your entire life flashes before your eyes. I guess that is for normal people, or rather people who are not having their blood boiled away by trying to synergize their own personal energies with a slowly melting artifact originally made for people to be able to converse with the dead.

Sadly, that is where I currently found myself. How I got here, and why I am here are not really important, other than I have a fri...

(Darren Hallsprings)

Darren was flying his long-distance UAV for a ride around the old farmstead, the one that had been recently sold and mostly turned into zoned off lands for up-and-coming Mega plazas, when it happened.

Return home.

The first time it happened, he had managed to get to within four hundred meters of the old farmstead. After that, the range had slowly increased to four hundred and ten meters out, then each progre...

The Proof

(Misha)

By Wednesday Misha’s muscles burned. Not just burned but felt like they were coiling and constricting bands of cords that pulled her body together. Yet, despite their increased tension, they provided movement that was unlike anything that Misha had ever felt within her body before.

Just the act of moving was tough, but at the same time limitless. By taking a single step, she felt that the distance she could cover was increased by a few ce...

Worst Birthday Gift Ever Part 4

“No, stop that, you need to focus your energy inward towards a point. We are going to have to get you to create your core from scratch. This will be taxing.” I said, as my attention span is already starting to wane.

This man, Jackie Khan, is a noted expert, but that expertise came with a cost. Namely he was given everything and never had to actually work for any of the bonuses that he had. Meaning that now, when he was trying t...

Worst Birthday Gift Part 3

Clap, clap, clap.

For the second time a condescending warrior came striding forward, clapping at what we, and by that I mean me, myself, had accomplished.

“I must commend you on your efforts to this point. To think that I would find both a father and daughter duo who were skilled with Qi was something I thought I would never see in my lifetime.”

Bleh!

I nearly vomit, and my hands go up to my mouth...

(Misha)

This was Misha’s second day in a row of Reaping the energy from a Warrior class Bakshee. Just like yesterday, she had options available to her, though this time there was a bit more information provided by the system. A system that was seeming to build itself out as time went on, that or Misha was finally able to unlock further insights into what was expected of her and her class.
