The Fruit of All Labors

I must not have passed out for that long, or it took a lot longer than I originally anticipated to climb the one hundred floors that I had opted to bypass.

“Oh, so you are finally awake?” Mallory asks, she is still drenched, but in a sitting position, all while we are being pulled ever higher into the air.

A quick scan of my surroundings shows that we are still in a vertical tube that is being pushed upwards as thousands of gallon...

The Reunion

Saturday

Vision sat from her up front view of the funeral. As a member of the League, she had been awarded one of the most coveted seats in the entire event. She even had a more prestigious seat than members of The Clan did, and from what was said by Aru’ka moments ago, it was apparent that The Clan had a better chance of recruiting her than she did as a member of the League.

Aru’ka’s words had cut deeply, as it clearly exposed them and th...

Zero Potential: Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Professor Chan was not holding back, his contempt was clear for everyone to see on his face.

He began with one of Professor Chan’s killing moves, generally this was done well after she had been training under the mad professor’s tutelage, when he was certain that no wounds would be formed by the attacks. Yet, as usual something was off, and Terra knew exactly what was different about this time, she was.

Relentless Strike.

Seeing that Prof...

This was not Terra’s first time going through the whole campus matriculation process. While this was her first time only being handed the minimum of gear, due to her low potential rating, this was not a concern. Instead, Terra used this as a hard and fast guide on how to live economically.

When getting her supplies, she cut through the lines and did her procurements in reverse order, grabbing enchanting and writing materials, before her one school uniform. The reason f...

Kite Flying And Other Ways to Solve Quests

“You know, sometimes I wonder how you talk me into these situations.” Mallory states from over forty feet below. The rope that is tied to me, dangles down from my waist and goes all the way to the floor.

“Honestly, I am just as surprised that you have a soul bound endless rope that extends by applying more mana to it. If it hadn’t been for the endless rope, then I know for a fact we would have had to come up with ...

Saturday

Wondra sat in her seat, which was relatively close to the front line of the action. There was a slightly cold morning breeze that was blowing through, but honestly such a breeze felt great right about now, as the rubbery suit that Wondra had now worn for close to two decades felt stiflingly hot to her skin. Three rows back, center stage, that was her seat, directly behind Judge the widow. To her surprise Aru’ka, the true reason why the Leagu...

Putting the F. And U. Into Fluff

“Bring it!” Maria bellowed as she stared down the charging horde of bunnies that came towards her. With each strike she expended valuable spirit energy, energy that was almost instantly refilled by the death of each creature.

The only problem was, these creatures all had impurities within their energy. Impurities that would normally never be a problem, as her natural cycling of the different energies in her body would not only ...

As Simple As Opening A Door

The area we were in was a giant puzzle cube. At least that is the impression that I got from the layout of different rooms, and the different patterns needed to get from one section of the zone to another. There were three doors that spread out from our initial safe zone that we were in. As it was, the two outer doors both linked up with the main room ahead, but those routes would be a lot longer and more circuitous, so for now the most logic...

Rachel Rivers

“The sun has risen once again, showcasing the brilliance of a new day. While our hearts are filled with sadness as to the occasion of our future gathering, know that dignitaries from around the world have gathered to pay their respects.” Rachel began speaking to a pre-morning press conference. In the late Fall climate, an orange sun that appeared somewhat smaller than usual began to rise lazily, filling the sky...

Nyctophobia

“Come on, let’s go!” I say, turning around to Mallory who is just staring at me and the area around me with shock. No wait, not shock, there is a slight fear that seems to permeate her. It only takes a second, but after focusing on her, I can tell that there is something inherently wrong with her. Or at least she thinks there is something inherently wrong with her. “What’s going on?”

“Tha…” Mallory begins, but her voice trails off, as...

Browning Corporation A Tulpa Company

Within seconds of not having the fully activated sphere nearby, Alexa could feel the moment that her ability to use magic was once again restored. Her first impulse was to immediately begin casting spell after spell, playing into her strength, and she was just about to do just that, when she realized something. This was likely one of the few times where she could practice a fight in hostile conditions, with the threat of having her ...

What Are Pegicorns?

“Pegicorns? What the heck are those?” Mallory asked, more to herself than anyone, then continued. “I thought a cross between a unicorn and a Pegasus was called an Alicorn?”

“They are.” Female princess elf that I had just healed stated as a matter of fact.

At that Mallory just paused, and rolled her hand in a gesture that said, okay go on. But the elf apparently stopped at that, shaking her head in frustration Mallory then aske...

Enemy That Negates

Saturday (Early Morning)

Seeing the moment to strike, while everyone was distracted and looking towards the lead analyst who was loudly slurping her coffee, Alexa mentally reached out to the wall and used her Telekinesis to first press the open button.

Nothing happened.

Alexa had figured something like this would happen, especially with the fact that every door required someone to swipe something. ...

Fifth Floor

Saturday (Early Morning)

The office worker moved forward, and Alexa easily followed suit, keeping her movements inline with the awkward office worker. After a moment of watching, it was clear that the office worker’s movements were not truly clumsy, but compared to the movements that Alexa and now most of her pack could perform, the clearly human office worker was much slower and less refined. There were a lot of awkward and clunky movements.

Chapter 2

The first day of her new life was just as Terra expected and so much less. This time rather than getting a scholarship from the clergy to attend school, she was given the least beneficial contract possible, while still being able not officially sell her soul as a pact to the school.

The terms of the ‘F’ rank classes were predatory to say the least. As a student of criminal background, and by criminal, in this case it purely related to her ancestry not personal procli...

A Horse With Gno Name

I could already feel the start of a headache forming. I had already been pushing myself for quite a while and now I was dealing with not one but two entitled elves. It didn’t help that like the stereotype these two elves were both gorgeous. They were twins if I had to take a guess, that or I am just racist towards elves and assume that all blond, well not true blond. In fact, given my sight I couldn’t see what color their hair was. For all I co...

Night Worker Blues

Black Friday (Night Time)

The whole operation thus far had been simple, almost too simple. Granted she had scouted the place well in advance, even going so far as to bring Gina along with her to avoid any questions. From there they spoke to an overly helpful waiter who seemed to know everything about everyone who came to the little coffee shop. Not so hard to imagine as Alexa had chosen that shop due to its direct proximity to the location she ...

Down the Rabbit Hole

Monsters began to appear, slowly at first. There was a distinct one for one monster to sentient creature ratio, but that accounted for the regular humans. Animals as it turns out, were especially sensitive to the changes brought on by mana. The oversized dog was but one example of this, as Maria drew closer to the school more and more signs of just how much mana could alter the conditions of animals began to show themselves to the world around her.<...

Theories, Theorems, and the Blighted

The ground shook violently for a second, then stopped. There was the warning, one telling us all that Yggdraspirit, the great tree that was dying slowly from the Blight had awakened. I couldn’t help but feel that there was a correlation between the tree awakening and my first curing of someone with the blight.

I could almost tell that there was a quest line in her somewhere, but I didn’t want to rush, espe...

Super Busy Hospital

It is amazing how life can change drastically from moment to moment. One moment you are standing there, caught in what looks to be a good old Wick standoff, of one versus not just one but two independent armies. Armies that up until a moment ago were gladly continuing their ceaseless war of attrition with each other.

Then next moment, you heal a boy and his ghost dog, and suddenly you are swamped with would be patients that not only don’t car...

Black Friday

“Plethora.” Alexa said, then mentally she began the long silent process of waiting and counting out until sixty in her mind, to make sure that a solid minute passed. Only once she got to sixty did her moment of silence end, allowing her to speak once again.

“Now I am supposed to sit down and let my mother come up and talk. Her first words are supposed to be ‘Thank you, that means a lot.’ And yes, before you a...

The Stakeout

Black Friday (1 A.M.)

It was a date, at least that is what Gina went with, and most importantly Alexa agreed. At least Alexa had encouraged that thinking when she first proposed the idea of going out to scout out the area where her orb thingy had been taken. The one Gina mentally called tequila, you know, because it makes her clothes fall off.

From there it was a bit of heart racing action, as Alexa, the by the books pragmatis...

With my left hand I would use Quick Cast, to create a spell that I would simultaneously Pulse, and use Legendary Trick Shot with. Then with my right, I would use Quick Cast to create a Dispersal spell that would try to strike my one Legendary Trick Shot, with a separate identical Legendary Trick shot.

Black Friday (12:01 AM)

“So, I have to ask,” Gina began, but then paused her question as she continued to watch as Alexa created layer upon layer of complex runic designs before her. Gina herself had a basic understanding of runes, and her analytical mind and class were allowing her to make leaps of logic that mathematically filled in the roles of the questions she was right now formulating, but for the most part she was at a complete loss a...

Beeeeeepppp!

The heart monitoring system beeped loudly, warning everyone that the patient’s heartrate had either flatlined, or is no longer able to be recorded by the instrument panel.

Confused chatter.

This of course caused Maria’s parents, her twin sister, her brother Juan, and her ex, or at least soon to be ex-boyfriend, to cause a commotion as they looked at the bed, only to find the sheets completely empty. This of c...

“Oh, looky here, if it isn’t our very own problem child, right at the center of everything, can we at least get rid of the glitch?” The first voice asked.

There was a pause, a long-drawn-out pause, as Maria felt an unbearable weight of power gaze upon her and judge her. Then Maria could feel the moment the second monster, the one that was in charge, took in a deep breath and then came to a conclusi...

Blighted Disorientation

I awoke to a slew of messages. First and foremost, I apparently had been knocked out for a day, as my experience tracker shot up dramatically, thanks to the efforts of my Simulacrum. Well, I also added a bit to my increase thanks to simultaneously coming up with a new spell and resurrecting the only trainer for a rare class.
