The odds 132 betaed - Department of Mysteries
Hello, dear readers!
Sorry for the long wait after the latest tyrannical shenanigans, but the Muse was sleepy and had to be repeatedly told to focus on one story and not the others...one might even have accused her of being absolutely lacking in the domains of coordination and selective inspiration.
Anyway!
The latest update to Alexandra's Adventures is here.
Enjoy!

Friends (eternal) the time of madness is once again upon us!
I'm going to spend a couple of hours (I think) re-reading a last time the chapter, but assuming the Muses give their blessings, the most epic and democratic-friendly Legion of Doom will be updated today.
The Tyrant has given his approval, and who are we to not embrace the craziness?
Enjoy (or not, but you will suffer)!

Right, let's get to it!
First off, Happy New Year to everyone. I hope this year will be better than 2025 (in many aspects it should be not a high bar to clear, but alas...) and I wish everyone good health, and plenty of good things.
As for the writing schedule.
The corrections applied to the chapter 37 of An Impractical Guide to Godhood are nearly done, therefore it will be updated first soon on the other websites. Next week, we will return to the writing.

Happy New Year!
I wish all the readers/minions/treacherous lieutenants/partners in tyranny and crime (remove the choices you think don't fit for you) a happy new year of 2026, and if you hear the explosions in the distance, it's the Tyrant celebrating (sigh).
The Titan's Game can truly begins, and it is going to be...murderous and crazy, as one can expect. But first the Cupbearer Events must take place...in this regard, this chapter is the first part out of two (with 34,000 words,...

Friends, I have a confession to make in these trying times.
I find myself constantly blackmailed by the Tyrant to add more and more words to what promised to be a short chapter.
As a result, this update, which may or may not fall under the 'teaser' category is 18,000+ words-long, while the bigger effort as a whole is closer to 30,000...and far from over.
But have no fear, the power of friendship will conquer all! (that or tyranny, because the Suicide Squad is on the way)

All right, devout worshippers of the Man-Emperor of Man-kind!
This should be close to the final version which will be updated in a few hours.
I speak, of course, of the chapter-that-was-promised!
Be it Christmas or the noble traditions of the Blood, rejoice, for the time of winter holidays is here on the world which has seen the human species evolve and thrive!

Welcome back, mortals, penguins, crocodiles, and all types of minions the Tyrant may have forgotten, but who definitely are on the naughty list.
Today is a glorious day, by the will of the People.
Indeed, it is the Winter Solstice.
And you know what begins on the Winter Solstice?
That's right, my eternal friends, the Titan's Game is here, to show you a litany of madness and delirium never seen before.
It begins...right now.

Readers, minions, partners in crime, and aspiring Questers!
The humble Tyrant of New Byzantium has good news for you!
Now that the Dance is not Over is going to be updated tomorrow on all websites, a glorious era of writing is near for the end-of-the-year holidays!
And it wouldn't be splendid holidays without An Impractical Guide to Godhood, wouldn't it?
Still, the friendly and smirking Tyrant know there are forms to respect. In the name of his love for democracy, the ...

So it was promised, so it has arrived, the new chapter of the Dance is not Over is here!
The sharks are feeding well, thanks to the reasant unpleasantness in the Narrow Sea, thank you.
And if you think it is going to get better, that it is only a short moment before peace returns...nah, it is going to get worse. Much worse.
Winter is here, and there's fire and blood everywhere, from the Sealord's Palace to the pirate havens of the Stepstones...

Dear minions...I mean, worshippers of escalation and madness, I have a proclamation to make.
No, it is not a proclamation about TWO. Rest assure the delays the betas are responsible about are under control. The Inquisitors are handling the problem. The culprits have been shot and re-shot, and we have enslaved a team of giant rats to ensure productivity doesn't decrease before the end-of-year holidays.
Yes, it is about the next story to be written. For this noble purpose, The Dance...

All right, it took a bit more time than I expected, but today should be the day of release for the next The odds were never in my favour on every other website.
I have re-read the entire chapter (and will re-read it one more time in the next minutes) but that should be the ultimate version of Chapter 131 Feathers of Mysteries.

Hi, everyone!
Sorry for the delay and several days without giving news, writing this chapter of The odds were never in my favour took far more time than I expected...
Very unlike an Impractical Guide to Godhood, one might suspiciously say. Did the Tyrant place a curse on the Muses when they are not fulfilling his capricious and demented whims?
No one but him knows, and I'm somehow afraid to ask...
Anyway, the next chapter of Alexandra and her friends is here.

Friends of tyranny, minions, loyal followers of craziness, it is time.
Time, of course, to unleash the Penguins.
The Titan's Game is about to begin, and the sons of the ice have mustered to kill the unbelievers.
No one will stand in front of the Legion of Doom and live to tell the tale. As prelude to this sarcastic and absolutely insane butchery, Rico and Skipper are proud to offer you a meal of salmon, in addition to 48,000+ words where the legend of Perseus Jackson, Once-a...

The writing of the chapter 37 of An Impractical Guide to Godhood is largely in its final phase now, so all readers can enjoy here the chapter which will soon be updated on all the other websites.
It is Cupbearer, Chapter 36 of An Impractical Guide to Godhood.

Or is it?
The adventures of Perseus Jackson and the growing Legion of Doom continue in this (for the moment incomplete) chapter.
I can also confirm that after this, the next story to be written will be The odds were never in my favour (this will be the November update, I think).

Hello, fellow penguin supporters!
I have a not-so-short teaser for you today.
The bad news is that the writing on the chapter still isn't done. The good news is that at the pace things are going, the final update will likely be over 40K words...I will leave you to decide if it is a good or a bad thing.
The Legion of Doom still recruits, by the way.
Excellent rewards, you will end up a millionaire and all your mortal desires will be fulfilled.

Let's continue the madness, shall we?
For this morning's teaser, the recruitment of the Legion of Doom continues!
Let's call up the volunteers! That they may have not volunteered for this glorious and noble task is going to be overlooked, there are quotas to fill, and enemies to disintegrate.
What chances stand reason in the face of eternal friendship? (grin)
Enjoy!

A short announcement today to confirm that the next story on the writing schedule is An Impractical Guide to Godhood.
Its proper (crazy and tyrranical) implementation is going to begin...as soon as possible.
It is not really possible to be more accurate, not because I lack inspiration, but due to the fact that today, for the first time in...it should be around 7-8 years...I am changing my old computer for a new model. The repeated problems of the old stuff I had made it an ugly ne...

As promised here, here is the betaed chapter 130 of The odds were never in my favour, which is going to be updated on the other websited in a few minutes.
The chapter of the Dance is not Over will, I hope, follow in a couple of days, before the end of the week for sure.
EDIT: as an attentive reader remarked, the good timedate for the last point of view (Alex) is 1995, not 2005. This mistake seems to have evaded my attention's and the beta's until the last minute. Sorry about that....

Here is the chapter 62 of The Dance is not Over, War Bankers, for all those who awaited it.
Not a lot of war this chapter, but as the conflict across the Narrow Sea escalates, it is likely it going to change soon...
