ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 43: Super Time At the Hospital

Chapter 43

Super Time At the Hospital

Tuesday came faster than anyone anticipated. While everyone knew the importance of the day, it was after all, the day that Judge, Warder, and a few other current and former Supers all came to Campus. The true purpose for their visit was only known to a few. At least that was how everything was supposed to be at first.

As it turned out, many of the supers on campus made their intentions clear from the very beginning. Many requesting, if n...

13th: Interlude XII

<<<<AUTHOR'S NOTE:  As you can see we should be back to operations as usual. 

Due to my new workload with three projects, and work (real life). I will be cutting down the number of chapters I produce for the 13th Loop Series down to at most five a week. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause, in advance.

Interlude XII

Dr. Thurston Charleston sat in his office, listening to yet another patient...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 42: Sunday Into Monday Reunion

<<<<AUTHOR'S NOTE:  First off, Happy Thanksgiving.

With this chapter, the surge to push through book one is officially over, and I will try to go to a more sedate pace of one chapter (for ALEXiThymiA) a day.

Thank you all, and please help me keep this story moving at a great pace. >>>>

Chapter 42

Sunday Into Monday Reunion

Sunday was spent relatively quietly. At least quiet per Ale...

ALEXiThymia: Prologue II

Prologue II

Thirty-five miles, or twenty-seven as the crow flies, that was the distance from Bottomless Gorge to the campus proper of Dawning Light. A lot of that was the fact that a few roads couldn’t be built on certain properties until much later. Others had drainage pathways that were hard to replicate, until much later. What that all meant was Alexa got home late.

Well, Alexa was not as late as she had originally intended. Originally, she had intended to be with Gina and Ju...

ALEXiThymiA: Epilogue

Epilogue

Captain Rayne Johnston

Rayne listened to the two girls tell their story. A story that seemed almost too fantastical to believe. One where the group of three girls went into a dungeon. Then the Necromancer, if their reports were to be believed, managed to speak to the dungeon so it would have an already cleared room for them. Then while in that cleared room, the two girls watched as Alexa went through trial after trial against dragons. Not only di...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 41: The Return

<<<<AUTHOR'S NOTE: Take 2. Let's see if you agree that this is enough closure to end Book 1. Again, I plan on this being a series, so Book 2 will easily start next. But I will leave that all up to you.

>>>>

Chapter 41

The Return

Gina and Julie watched on in horror, as their friend exited the dungeon. Only then for her to reappear in a similar dungeon, with a dragon. This time the only difference was that she n...

ALEXiThymia: Chapter 40: The Duel

Chapter 40

The Duel

There was no sneak attack. No chance to catch the beast off guard. Worse, the entire field was a wide-open sprawl of over two hundred feet of empty flat dirt, before her opponent. Even looking at it, the only feature in this otherwise empty dungeon room was a giant rock that the Level 1 Spirit Dragon now rested. Effectively giving the dragon the high ground, and a strategic advantage both.

Worse, Alexa felt the exact moment a protective barrier rose to se...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 39: What Are The Odds, Truly

<<<<AUTHOR'S NOTE CORRECTION: Thanks to feedback. I have decided to push back the end of Book 1 for two more chapters. With that, by this time tomorrow I hope to have the final Dragon Battle complete.

This still puts me on pace to try to restart my other projects on Wednesday.
>>>>

Chapter 39

What Are The Odds, Truly

In the end Alexa had chickened out. She had the perfect chance to show her friends her true...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 38: Return to Bottomless Gorge

Chapter 38

Return to Bottomless Gorge

The return to Bottomless Gorge was somehow less climactic than Alexa had anticipated. Of course, she felt nothing while entering, but it seemed as though the dungeon had forgotten her entirely.

As soon as the three entered the dungeon, Alexa began her ritual. Despite never having done so in front of others before.

“Hello dungeon, I don’t know if you remember me or not. But you made a special floor for me the last time I was her...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 37: Start to a long Weekend

Chapter 37

Start to a long Weekend

The rest of the week flew by. As it turned out Mr. Mackie was as good as his word. On Friday after healing everyone who came down with a sports related injury, and a few classroom related injuries, Alexa received a dungeon pass. This meant the three girls started their road trip the minute they were released on Friday night.

Of course, Alexa and Julie both had personal ultimatums, one they could not resist. Namely the two had check in with ...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 36: Making Amends

Chapter 36

Making Amends

To say that the rest of the first week, where there was a full sophomore class, was uneventful would have been an understatement. The pack themselves did well, breaking down into multiple groups. Nine created their own baseball team. This was an instant success, as they were allowed to constantly play against the established Junior and Senior dominant team. Five others joined the track and field team. While the remaining four found kinship in four individu...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 35: The Rise of Aruka The Healer

Chapter 35

The Rise of Aruka The Healer

Alexa herself was busy. After being escorted by Mr. Mackie to the main office. Alexa was promptly taken to a back room filled with different costumes.

“Hello. We haven’t met yet, but I am Ms. Peacock, the principal here at Dawning Light.” Ms. Peacock said with a bow. Ms. Peacock was average height, with a formerly lean body that slowly gave to the wrinkles of old time and age. Her hair was a majestic silver that seemed to accentu...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 34: Classroom Introductions

Chapter 34

Classroom Introductions

“Good morning class. Happy Tuesday. Due to our interrupted circumstances yesterday, I neglected to do something that is a staple for new classrooms. I would like you all to introduce yourselves to each other, stating if you are a lineage. If so, then what your parents do. Then finally what you intend to do when you awaken.” Ms. Tutlidge began.

Then after waiting a second for her questions to settle in, she continued. “I will start. I ...

Chapter 33

Sports Related Activities

“Alexa, I just wanted to tell you that thanks to the work you and your class put together today. We have solid leads and will hopefully be able to put an end to this work shortly.” Captain Johnston began.

Alexa just nodded, while all the other students of the class just stared. Well, everyone but Luke, who had apparently wanted to be part of the team to hunt down the boys related to these crimes.

Then taking a few steps into the...

ALEXiThymiA: Interlude III: Master / Judge and Warder

Interlude III

Master

Cat’s Paws

All were pawns to the Master. Originally from a broken lineage, meaning anyone whose family once had the gift of awakening and then lost it. Master himself had been from the most prestigious of lineages. His great grandfather and grandfather alike were both extreme mages. Wielder of Shadows and Light Magic both.

Then there was the disgrace of a human that was Master’s father. Born of such a lineage but being unable to carry on the le...

Focusing on Finishing Book 1 for ALEXiThymiA (Should be done before Thanksgiving)

Good morning,

Sorry for the late (somewhat notice) but for the next few days I will direct all my efforts on finishing BOOK 1 of ALEXiThymiA and giving it a truly great ending. (There will be more books, I just want to get book 1 correct).

That said, I will momentarily pause both Outcast, and 13th Loop stories until this is complete.

I hope to get this done as soon as possible. And without the Interrupts caused by switching stories and locations I should be able...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 32: Singling Out The Pack

Chapter 32

Singling Out The Pack

When the TSI agents came, Alexa and her brother were instantly taken to one corner of the room. While different officers set up stations at all throughout the room. This was a mass investigation, one where they didn’t want to tip their hand about who knew what.

The idea was to break down girls by region and see if the same person was used to invite the different girls to the party. For Julie’s group it was the same boy, Cole Rhodes, who s...

ALEXiThymia: Chapter 31: The One Guy In A Sea of Untouchable Beauties

Chapter 31

The One Guy In A Sea of Untouchable Beauties

Most guys would be jealous of Luke Thyme. In fact, most people were jealous of Luke Thyme currently. He had arguably one of the best classroom settings possible. With a male to female ratio of students that was very favorable. That ratio of course was twenty to one. Yes, twenty of the hottest, most attractive females, to little lone Luke.

That was a thing, now that they had increased their number of students ten-fold, t...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 30: Monday's Indoctrination

Chapter 30

Monday’s Indoctrination

Nineteen. That was how many students had arrived for the orientation briefing given by Mr. Mackie. True to form, they were each given their sashes, denoting their powers, and their pin denoting their year.

At the same time Alexa was exchanging the rags of her old sash for a new one, where she transferred the placement of each pin.

A few things should be noted about the group of nineteen new students. Disciplined was the best word on...

OUTCAST: Chapter 175: Lykan: Ending the Siege

Chapter 175

Lykan

Ending the Siege

Lykan, Pentra, and Brenna all left the dungeon buried under the ground floors of the Sidherthan Academy. In the past the building had originally been built to seal in the great evil that was the Titans.

Of course, the original builders had no idea how childish the idea of using a few feet of stone to stop a Titan would be. This was of course the equivalent of burying someone in an inch of sand and hoping it would do more than protect ...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 29: Two By Three Completion

Chapter 29

Two By Three Completion

In all Alexa was only able to complete the battle of Mythandor three times. Each time when asked to choose a race, Alexa chose the same race. “Human.”

The trials it seemed were designed to force a race into servitude, forcing the trial candidate to fight with one of two races. Then at the end give them the chance to choose which of the races present should gain the gift of Prophecy. It was misleading, as in it almost wanted you to choos...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 28: Trials of Ascension: Stage II

Chapter 28

Trials of Ascension: Stage II

Alexa hopped through the dungeon entrance. However, before she did so, she did the equivalent of looking into a mirror and yelling “Beetlecreper, Beetlecreeper, Beetlecreeper.”

This time when she entered, she could already feel a strand of fate pulling her forward. This time, she immediately chose to enter a RED difficulty dungeon. With that, she followed the path and was greeted with a familiar listing of warning...

Chapter 117

The Reviews Are In, and News Flash: People are Assholes

I had worked hard with Julie and Nicole on recording our first few songs. We were Retro-Vector, which meant we had something and magnitude, while going to a fixed place in space. I want it to be said that I didn’t like the name, but the girls did and so I was outvoted two to one. Then when Julie began inviting the other women that were all tortured in the past lifetime, and my heart melted.

They too appare...

Chapter 27

Dungeon Safety Briefing

“I don’t care if this is your first time, or your one millionth time hearing this safety briefing. Before everyone goes on a Dungeon Delve in a Tier II dungeon, so long as they are enrolled at this school,” the instructor said this last part as he looked directly at Alexa, before continuing. “You will need a pass from this class if you wish to enter. Every time you go, no exceptions.”

That pass was of course the reason Alexa herse...

ALEXiThymia: Announcement: (On Story Growth/Direction)

First of all, I would like to thank a number of readers for bringing up a concern on this story growing into or becoming a romantic story. 

Rest assured, that I do not intend for this to be a book on Alexa having romantic relationships.  Instead I see the beauty of this story being the way Alexa goes out each day and gives everything she has. This constant pushing herself generates a positive impact on the world around her. From this impact, people will naturally be...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 26: First Date Consultation with A Super

Chapter 26

First Date Consultation with A Super

Alexa wore the bright red dress as asked. She wore the flats, so she could easily dance in. In fact, from the wardrobe ensemble, available, Alexa had to say the Consultation Candidate had relatively nice taste.

The red dress was one that seemed to enhance, rather than announce her natural pale complexion. That and her dark hair with a golden streak parted at the center from her birthmark, almost seemed to form layers to her bod...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 25: Living on Campus

<<<<AUTHOR'S NOTE: Sorry, I realized when I started the next chapter that this one needed a bit more to add that time congruence. >>>>

Chapter 25

Living on Campus

Due to Dawning Light High School and its mission to house pre-awakened students from three different states. Most students would not be able to make the drive to and from their houses every day. In that regard, the Thymes were relatively blessed, as they co...

OUTCAST: Chapter 174: Lykan, Peak Mind Stage

Chapter 174

Lykan

Peak Mind Stage

For Lykan, when given his possible choices for advancement when he was given his Fifth Echelon blessing, only one of the options even seemed remotely worth the effort.

With [Advanced Sight of the Predator],Lykan already had advanced senses, better still, he had the ability to detect both mana and cultivation. Then when those two were limited, he could cheat and use the Air to...

Chapter 24

First Day of Supers High School (2)

Playing Hooky at the Petting Zoo

Alexa’s first class did not go as expected. In fact, technically it did not go at all. Or rather, she did not go.

Alexa had just entered the classroom and chosen a seat near the back when there was an important tapping on the classroom door.

Wrap-knock.

“Come in,” Instructor Juleman said, her voice clearly carrying through the extra thick door.

With that, a ...

ALEXiThymiA: Chapter 23: Pecking Order

Chapter 23

Pecking Order

“Come here.”

It had already begun. First day, and the old students were already trying to establish dominance. This time it came in the form of a Mind Controller, or MC for short, trying to exert their dominance over Alexa.

Alexa’s substantial Willpower alone was likely more than enough to withstand the attempts currently plaguing her. But then you add in the fact that her top ri...
