Prologue V

Everyone, A Call to the Great Forest

The world is in turmoil. Mediums and Oracles from across the land have all gotten word of the first sign of the apocalypse happening. The world that had been quiet for millennium was now suddenly at a breaking point as an ancient evil managed to break its way free from the depths of the earth. In the Great Forest, where the last bastion of hope for the High Wood Elves sat lay a great lurking evil. An evil known to the past as the Tit...

When a PI is More than Just a Private Dick

Maniacal Laughter.

You ever hear sandpaper grind against metal? No, well you are probably lucky. If you have, then imagine that decibel of noise driven up to eleven and you might understand the pitch being produced by the now exposed Prolaxian Infiltrator (PI). Then to make matters worse, the PI after cackling like a villain, then begins to monologue like one as well.

“I am a herald, here to si...

Chapter 63

When Milk Runs Turn Sour

There is always that moment when you fully test out a new piece of gear in live combat. You can use the equipment, move around in it, and even do a little dance. Just know that everything changes when you go to live combat. Then depending on the scale of the live combat certain tests wouldn’t even matter. Take for instance the scuff test. What good is testing to see how well a patch of lime green pain stays on your suit, even after being rubbe...

Epilogue IV

Ezma Loren, Great Jungle Basin

Ezma Loren, now the queen of her dominion. Her dominion of course was wherever she happened to be. Seven years ago, sparked the start of her transformation. From when she went from being the weaker portion of an old-world law pact and had been set free. Her freedom of course came in a baptism of fire. One that started with her slaughtering her former companion and confidant Jhamet.

Now she was free. Free of obligations. Free of sche...

Chapter 62 You Must Be This Tall To Ride

<<<< AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thanks to some comments. I realize there was a bit of mystery that I was leaving out, also a lot of the MC's actions weren't explained.  So I have updated parts of this chapter to better explain the changes that the MC is aware of happening.

Please let me know if the story/characters seem more true to form now.

Announcing New Tiers

So I managed to do as I proposed.

I opened it up so that the $5 tier gave you the option to have one of the stories or both.

Also know that I will open up all posts here before the end of the month to be read under the $1 per month price. 

By the end of the month the $10 will not have any more content than the $1 or $5. You are literally just supporting me and my crazy obsession with writing. A fact that will not go unnoticed, or forgotten as times goes o...

Chapter 60 Mid-Life Crisis

Chapter 60

Mid-Life Crisis

These new Prolaxians were tough. Well tougher than the normal ones. We found that there were two new types, the Mental and Magical kinds. Both were resistant to my Mind Rend. While I could still use Mind Rend to find them, the effects of Mind Rend on them were less than ideal. There was no effect at all. No, just because I couldn’t kill them all in one go didn’t mean I was useless. It just meant there was a bit of a challen...

OUTCAST: Chapter 148 Brenna: Another Lamb to the Flock

<<<<AUTHOR'S NOTE: I probably could have ended this sooner, but I think this is a good stopping point for Book 4. Don't worry, more is still to come. But I think this arc is already showing itself to be one of Lykan realizing he can't change the world by himself. As such he will continue to gain friends and allies that will rise up with him.

Anyways, thank you all for reading. Again I will begin adding in two different sets for the different stories. So if...

September Schedule

First of all, thank you all for continuing to be with me throughout this process.

Notes:

I might try to do something so people can/will only receive one of the stories. So if you don't like Outcast, no problem just click on the 13th Loop only Patreon option. I will also have a tab for both, but that tab for both will be the current one we are using. 

Sorry, I wish I had planned this a little better to begin with, that is on me. More c...

Interlude VI

Interlude VI

“To what do I owe the honor?” Admiral Lemitov commander of the First fleet asked the famous, though retired Mave.

Mave to her part gave the military hand signal for silence. Normally such requests from civilians would not be accepted. However, Mave held a certain high position during her time in the military, and even now commanded respect from many of those she trained. Chief among those she trained and still carried favor with included General Sharma, t...

Chapter 59

Acronyms Decryptions and Drugs: ADD

I am there holding the details of the ten-day contract in my hand, and I pause. For a second I was half tempted to sign. Then I realize a few things. First, the contract only states that it will take me to the unspecified location, nothing about taking me back once the contract is complete. Second, I have money now, even after having to literally buy all my military academy gear at cost. Third, I realize now that I am impaired in a mi...

Chapter 147

Lykan

Family Ties

Taking out the guards were one thing as they were little more than lumbering lummoxes. Easily dispatched with swift concise movements. Now this new group, they were hard to detect as they were completely devoid of mana. Also, their tolerance to qi seemed to be high, as they seemed to ignore the static pulses of qi that Lykan subtly produced.

The traces of qi weren’t much but were often enough to warn would be predators to stay away. Thes...

The Bro-Code

“You five just picked the wrong easy mark.” I say as I begin to smile brightly.

The leader of the band of thugs down below pauses for a second, then looks at me like I am stupid. “There are only four of us.”

With that I raise my eyebrow at him and then look up over my left shoulder. I am not afraid of the four, even with my peripheral vision I can see all their movements. Instead, I focus on the threat that my mind is calling out to me. ...

My Reunions are Froth with Disappointment

“Momma?” The stone-cold killer Rayquel says, as she enters the holding cell that I am still in. Perhaps a bit of a back brief is required. Two weeks have passed since I got back to this timeline. Don’t worry, my case never went to court-martial, I am being released from all human military contracts and obligations, so long as I give my son away. Well not my real son, I don’t have any of those, at least not in this timeli...

Reports came in daily about Ajimal the Great, and about the Black Widow, Aren, in his own domicile. How the Black Widow has begun by decapitating the heads from those who are most beloved and empowering to the ruthless conqueror.

Chapter 56

A Court-Martial, An Inheritance, And A Family Reunion: Not in that Order

One thing that every human in the military has the right to is trial by Court-martial. Any time you get an article 15 for disobeying direct orders that led to the eradication of a hostile enemy force, do so. Honestly, see how your peers think of you, regardless of how you saved them all. This is a fun challenge that I hope everyone gets to see.

I like to think of this as a game. Basically, do...

Chapter 55

Beyond the Void

“Break apart. Return to base! Exercise over!” DI Hopewell shouted.

There is a moment, a calm before the storm of battle. The moment you realize the enemies are right there, and they have recognized you. That one moment, that is all you must change the course of a battle. This moment is what I mentally call the great equalizer. See after this moment, everything matters, troops, terrain, position. But in this one brief calm before the true storm ...

Prologue III

Prologue III

Admiral Lemitov watched in wide eyed horror, as an unknown fissure was created seemingly out of nowhere. Worse, this fissure proceeded to release wave after wave of Prolaxian horrors to the universe. There was no build up, no spatial anomalies, no buildup of energy particles. Instead, there was just nothingness one second. Then the next there were monsters.

Worse, the one cadet seemed to recognize something was wrong. He had moved towards the intended location, but ho...

Chapter 146

Kosha

Double Crossed

Kosha’s face burned from where she had been punched. She had failed her awakening ceremony. Only the new boy Marsh had shown her any sympathy.

“Just hold out a little longer. Hope will be waiting for you.” The boy said, before he was forced away. The boy was of course impressive, strong muscles and already noted as exceptional by the gods.

He had been listed as a Healing Mage. The two skills he started with were also impress...

Epilogue II

A nearly frantic Cadet Melissa Gardner flew through the city streets, technically she was AWOL, Absent Without Leave. The only problem, she didn’t seem to care. Instead, she made several calls, plans, and other operations all before she ended up at the unassuming office of a newly established Psychiatrist of all people.

Chime.

There was a chime that sounded as she made her way in.

“Hello, may I help you?” A receptionist said. The receptionist...

Lykan

A Second Awakening Day

Lykan was impressed to find that his knowledge of the traditional routes taken by the inspectors was still accurate. Despite how much time had passed since his first Awakening day. He had lived and experienced fourteen years of life. In fact, more of his life now had been awakened, than the time required to lead up to his awakening. That odd fact dawned on him, as he came to the village and saw that everyone was preparing.

Deepest Echoes

You ever do trust falls? You know acts of trust where you randomly fly up about twenty feet into the air, only to get knocked out by an unknown mind spike of force and fall into your dashing partner’s arms? No? No random butterfly wings of flight? No prince charming to save you when you, like Icarus, fly too high?

Well, here is your chance. Go ahead, fall back, I will catch you.

No seriously, trust me.

Okay, on three.

Temple Runs, Fake Emotions, and Needless Distractions

I don’t like to think of myself as a prima-donna, but maybe I am. But somewhere along the lines I think I got offered a damaged set of goods.

You ever wonder about war heroes? Ones you have seen and fought with and against dozens of times. Ones who just hearing their names was once enough to send a chorus of dread and excitement through your body. Only to then meet them and realize they are complete garbage? ...

Marsh

Walking With the Gods

Angels. Well angels, gods, or divine beings. Those were the words he would use to describe his saviors. He had hidden for so long in his hiding spot that he was certain he had died. His stomach rumbled so loudly that he wished he could die at times. He tried scraping off portions of the inside of his refuge, filling his stomach with moss and dirt. This alleviated the pains, but only for a moment as he then had the worst stomach pains i...

Carrots, Sticks, and a Whole Lot of Tricks

There are times when you work as a team that things get heated. Thoughts are said that should likely be avoided uttering ever. Therefore, eventually I think I will grow to regret some of the words I’ve said. Not really the implication behind what was said, but the words used to convey my thought and utter contempt for my partner.

“It has come to my attention that you might have said some unflattering remarks about you...

Chapter 50

A Deal Too Good To Refuse

“Welcome Mr. Goldman-X, or do you just prefer the name Goldman?” The monster before me said, in words that sounded surprisingly smooth coming from a monstrous mouth. A gulped audibly. With just one glance I realized I was in far, far too deep to get out.

I looked up to see a twisted monster of a creature before me. Black wiry twisted cords of muscle converged in a hunched over rendition of a truly deformed Quasi Modo. That is if Quasi...

Spy Versus Sly

I will be the first to admit that I am not a spy. The glowing eyes and hair, make my chances of becoming an inter-galactic man of mystery a complete farse. That said, when noticing the way Rayquel was interacting with the two Dwenvarians, I couldn’t help but feel a slight tingle within my gut.

In my past lives I had tried for the role of spy. Always being told I lacked finesse, or that certain trait that all spies have. You know the ability to ble...

The Next One

A flash of qi erupted in the sky the moment Lykan slew the dhampyr queen. Of course, at the time Brenna and her young ward had no way of knowing that the monster who had infested the lands was a dhampyr queen. All that was known for certain was that the boy’s body froze up every time he took a step towards the village.

Over the past few months Brenna had developed her Qi Sight well enough to see faint traces of qi in the land. She coul...
