Masenia: Chapter 3 School and Other Unimportant Things

Chapter 3

School and Other Unimportant Things

School was surprisingly easy and cumbersome for Maria. The material just flowed into her mind, seeming to fill in gaps in her mind that she never quite knew existed. She found herself getting so bored that she ended up reading ahead in each class, covering History in a matter of minutes. The same went for her English, Latin, German, Calculus, and Chemistry, of which three classes: English, Calculus, and Chemistry were all AP level clas...

Chapter 138

The Departure

Sunday Night- Into Monday Morning

The process had been easy, almost too easy, considering how oddly things had been of late.

“We want you to know that we will follow you to the ends of the Earth and back.” Gina whispered into Alexa’s ear, just before The Princess Bride started to play. The words, along with the sensation of hot words being spoken so gently into her ear caused an automatic reaction on Alexa’s part. A twinge of ...

Chapter 137

Croatoan

Monday - Just After Midnight

It should come as no surprise that all eyes were on Alexa and her pack. The fact that by now everyone in her pack had completed their first dungeon run and everyone had their noted Dungeon Runner title, along with every member of the pack having a class unlocked all meant odd things for the pack.

What was the oddest part was despite everyone in the pack, save for Alexa, now having a Class and at least one title...

Masenia: Chapter 2 The Changes

Chapter 2

The Changes

The question was innocuous enough, one that any concerned sister would ask, yet looking at her hair, Maria could not herself determine what was causing the sudden change in her hair. Her hair, much like her sister’s, had been a deep silky-smooth shade of midnight that many swore, appeared to radiate with a purple glow under certain lights.

Now however, her hair was changing, as if by magic.

In fact, the only reason why Maria had noticed...

Chapter 1

When Everything Just Clicked

Anhnk-Anhnk-Anhnk

A loud blaring sound carved its way into Maria’s peacefully sleeping brain, and suddenly centuries of survival instincts kicked in, sparking into life and providing the defensive measures needed to continue enduring for one more day.

WHAM!

A knife hand struck out, striking the offending noise producer, hard.

Crunch.

The sound of breaking plastic could be heard. As Ma...

Augmented Aspects: Chapter 69 The Staging of the Heist

<<<<Author's Note:  If this looks familiar after the intro, there is a reason for this. This is a rewrite of what was Chapter 68. Hopefully there has been enough build up that there is no immersion breaking, but then again this is sometimes hard to gauge. Anyways, let me know what you think of the changes and if anything else is still required to help make this right.

As always, thankyou all for your feedback, I do try to take it to heart and try to i...

Augmented Aspects: Interlude IV

Interlude IV

(Two and a Half Months Later)

“Good evening world. We bring to you the latest news and updates from the world of BiPrism. In case you have been living under a rock for the past few months, you might have missed the fact that the pearly gates are closed, that or they are so close to being closed that unless you have the Midnight Hunters in your back pocket, you might as well not even attempt to enter.” The announcer begins, but then quickly continues.

“Just...

Masenia: A Corrupted Wish, Progression, GameLit Story

<<<<Author's Note: Don't worry, this is my new Writathon story that I intend to get to 55,555 words and stop...honest, maybe. Anyways, I will still wait a day or so before I begin posting these to Royal Road, so enjoy and let me know what you think.>>>>


Prelude.

Cassandra was the first, a person granted the ability to know the future, but to never be able to change the destiny of the world. However, Cassandra was just...

Augmented Aspects: Chapter 68 (Third try) Secondary Class Evolution and Perks

<<<<Author's Note: Third time for this chapter is a charm. I believe this will be my last substitution for chapter 68. Thank you all for your feedback. The previous chapter 68 that was seen earlier today, will be edited to happen after a brief time skip of two and a half months time. Thank you all for your feedback, hopefully this is much better and less immersion breaking. >>>>

Chapter 136

The Movie Marathon

Sunday

Alexa and Luke both didn’t quite know what exactly happened, nor how they got to this point. But somehow both Alexa and Luke had been roped into a pack wide movie marathon in honor of Jim, their father. Mother was still on a plane, likely flying back through customs even as they spoke, there was nothing they could do. School had been cancelled for the week, granted it was only two and a half days more before Thanksgiving break would of...

Resistance Training

Eating poisonous mushrooms. That is what I am doing, well it is what my Simulacrum is doing, eating poisonous mushrooms that can make you go blind, and laughing about it. Granted the real me doesn’t ha...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 135 Going Home

<<<Author's Note: As has been requested. This might be an emotional chapter for some, though I do not plan to have many more emotional chapters about this subject going forward. Thank you all for reading.>>>>

Chapter 135

Going Home

Alexa walked forward, her movements in that forced auto-mechanical state where she was moving forward just by mere momentum. However, with each step, she felt slightly more assure of herself,...

Chapter 67

A Guru In The Making

“Don’t worry about your young healer, I am sure she is doing just fine, probably taking an early lunch. Speaking of which, I find myself desperate for a thick juicy sausa...” Trista says, her eyes fluttering wildly like she is crossed between having a seizure and something caught in her eye.

“Bleh!” I nearly vomit at her third? Fourth attempt to seduce me. It is clear she is a slow learner of new skills and even slower on the uptake....

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 134 The Decision

Chapter 134

The Decision

Dragon after dragon fell to Alexa and her Replicas. With each dragon slain, she accomplished two main goals. The first of which being that she got to free a new dungeon every time she Stayed. On its own this might not seem like much, but to Alexa it was huge, as it implied the dungeons understood her intentions. Had she just stayed, then the dungeon would have somehow been able to reset time, reimprison themselves and then...

Augmented Aspects: Chapter 66 My Date With Destiny

Chapter 66

My Date With Destiny

Being my own boss seemed to provide nothing but benefits, at least at first. Now, though, now that I see the way the auditors go through the guild hall, stopping and talking to all of my other mages, I almost feel the daggers sinking in.

Lowiski gave notes, apparently, she had some type of grievance with the resident spiritual nature mage and was all too happy she spread documents on what I did wrong and how I wronged her. All I saw were the f...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 133 The Albino Dragon

Chapter 133

The Albino Dragon

The dragon was humanoid in shape and appearance, that alone was enough to give Alexa a slight pause while looking at the creature. Furthermore, the creature stood up on its hind legs, the only sign that something was amiss about it, was the way its tail whipped about wildly behind it. Then there was the fact that the dragon itself was ash white in color, the only distinction was the slightly pronounced gray patterns that helped to accentuate the drago...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 132 Dragon Slaying

Chapter 132

Dragon Slaying

The giant mind dragon laid dead before Alexa and her throng of minions. Identical minions, except for the fact that they were all stronger, faster, and more capable of fighting than she herself was. Still, this was no issue, not for the moment, for now she had bigger things to finish. Getting jealous of her Replicas, would be the same thing as getting jealous of thinking people only thought of you because of a skill you possessed, or som...

Augmented Aspects Chapter 65 A Breach of Contract

Chapter 65

A Breach of Contract

As one might expect, the auditors did not know the answer to just how dangerous the Crossroads were. Given that I, well my Simulacrum was a living breathing person and still forced to stay at the Crossroads for a full year to quote unquote “prove myself as a true healer.” I was doing surprisingly well.

Chime.

Four nearly instantaneous bells began ringing. At once the team of four auditors paused, and then looked down at thei...

Chapter 64

The Audit (Part II)

“As a matter of fact, there is something I find disagreeable!” Simulacrum me says, and just like that, I can feel the sharks come alive and all but wiggling their way closer. As if smelling blood in the water, all four auditors come forward as a faint smile appears on their eyes. Apparently Cassiopeia, or rather me, I was the one they wanted. I am still connected to her senses, I can still see and hear everything she is saying and doing,...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 131 Redemption

Chapter 131

Redemption

Alexa sprinted forward into the dragon’s chamber, followed by Alexa, and another Alexa, and still more Alexas. As they all charged forward, there was one that clearly moved slower than the rest, one that had been denied the attribute bonuses that the others had, one that moved at a glacial pace, compared to the others. Yet, the speed of the slowest one didn’t matter, as the others all made up for the lack of efficacy with their sheer overpowering nature....

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 130 Why?

Chapter 130

Why?

The minute Alexa stepped through the portal, and the world around her changed from that of Stonehenge to that of an alien planet she had never truly set foot upon, she collapsed. Her indomitable strength was gone, her energy to keep standing was taken from her. Like a puppet with the strings cut, she fell to the ground and she could not, or rather would not get up.

Tears.

Tears rolled down her face, as she tried to process everything. There wa...

Chapter 63

The Audit (Part I)

What is the number one way to ensure that people are held accountable and fun is avoided at all costs? That’s right, an audit. Feeling too productive? A member of your staff creating not one but two known miraculous spells that forever change the landscape of the world, audit them, likely something in the water.

You, know I would almost feel offended by this, if it wasn’t for the fact that it likely means that I am close to getting something...

New Class, Same Old Problems

Who has the best boss in the world? Obviously, me. I mean when you do what you love, you never work a day in your life and all that. In case you might have missed it, in fact, I know I have to keep telling myself, otherwise it might not be real, but for now and the immediate future, I am my own boss. Which means, while posing as the Crossroads’ Mage Guild master, I can assign random quests that will help me in the future. I have made it so...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 129 Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

Chapter 129

Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum

Silence.

No one spoke, for a minute everyone just watched and waited as their minds tried to process what was happening, what had happened. The unthinkable, yes they had been in combat, yes Alexa knew that eventually it might come to this, but she had been blindsided by the act. An act of cowardice, one she thought would have been beneath the elves and their lofty sense of dignity. Yet, here she was standing over the corpse of h...

Setting Up the Long Con

For all intents and purposes, I was now the Leader of the Crossroad branch of the Mage’s Guild. Well, to be perfectly transparent,  I was not the actual Mage Guild Leader, that privilege belonged to one Herbert T. Quencher, unfortunately he was no longer with us. No, unlike what so many of my kind might do or think, I did not kill him. Quite the contrary, I made it so he completed his final social burdens and was able to move on with this ...

Chapter 60

The Plan

Needless to say my being a magical beacon made any immediate plans to operate against the professional traveling Gambling Tournament committee, ultimately useless. First I had no idea of my limitations, how far out I could be detected and so on. With all of those hinderances in place going after one of the most lucrative and therefore best armed and maintained criminal organizations in the world was off the table, for the moment.

In fact, I was willing to...

It had been a good day all things considered. A few assistants showed up thirty minutes into the briefing, bringing a few tables, sandwiches, and a few odds and ends. Due to the catastrophic nature of what had happened, the leader of the English Heritage group was on their way, but apparently the roads and other destroyed infrastructure had made the trip out to Stonehenge a bit of a challenge. Due to this, the team had been as...

The interview was going well, all things considered. While Alexa had ended up missing most of the ‘Media Faux Pas’ classes and extracurricular sessions, she was still giving a clinic on how to shut down media with short concise answers.

Still despite having gone through the wee hours of the morning into full on rays of the sun, the entire pack was still together, still watching and experiencing this moment with Alexa, ...

Augmented Aspects: Chapter 59 Royal Blood

Chapter 59

Royal Blood

I was floating deep in my own consciousness. When suddenly I was surrounded by a stream of lights, red, gold, green, silver, purple, dark purple, and even a few colors that were not on the spectrum. The colors that were not on the spectrum were deeper ones, ones that were only experienced by feel, rather than by sight alone. It was the hidden colors that called to me the most, the ones that I knew I shouldn’t see, but somehow knew that I did. Only...
