The second Xay’s bare toes touched the dirt, he set Valiant down—only to be immediately flung backward through the archway behind him.
“That is not how you enter Dragon Hall!” Master Hui’s voice boomed from ahead.
He hadn’t been struck, only forcibly ejected. It didn’t hurt, and he was able to right himself in the air, landing smoothly on his feet as ...

The next morning, Xay slept in longer than usual.
The excitement from the day before—and having his internal organs thoroughly discombobulated—had really taken it out of him.
The moment he emerged from the basement, the ladies gave him an earful.
Lexi hurled a few creative variations of “idiot” his way. Kimi, while understanding his intent...

Shifu Wu led the way back from the viewing platform.
She guided everyone across a gently swaying wooden bridge worn smooth by the passage of many bare feet.
Xay had noticed that none of the monks or nuns wore shoes.
It was probably part of their training, but he wasn’t sure he was ready to give up his sneakers to fit in.
As they gradually ap...

As Xay and the others approached the massive mountain range, he finally noticed the shimmering, gold-tinted barrier encompassing the entire pass.
He immediately recognized the mystical energy from his experience with Shifu Wu’s barriers.
The energy didn’t behave like mana, though it could accomplish many of the same feats. Shifu Wu had explained that it was the power of...

While Xay and his friends were leaving the City of New Meridian, Bethany lay curled up in her bed with the lights off.
She had been like that for days—not sleeping, nor eating.
She thought she had stopped the explosion. She thought that reporting what she overheard to Alan had made a difference.
Bethany had once managed the Quantium Boutique located benea...

The next day came faster than Xay had anticipated.
It had officially been a week since the Aero Cup, and he was about to leave the City of New Meridian for the very first time.
They’d be back in just under two months, but still, he found himself slightly anxious.
It wasn’t the fact that they’d be traveling through the Wilds either.

Xay slept for over fifteen hours.
After leaving the dungeon, his entire group had gotten cleaned up, ordered takeout, and completely crashed.
It was well earned.
That Saturday morning, while waiting for Rox, Xay sat quietly in his room thinking about their performance in the dungeon.
His team had dominated most of the floors—...

Xay woke up groaning on a sticky bench in the final Safe Zone of the ninth floor.
**Cosmos Academy Dungeon Floor 9: Murder Hive.**
The entire floor had been one massive wasp hive, teeming with hundreds of six-foot B-Ranked Army Wasp monsters.
If Xay had to choose his most hated insect, it was wasps. If he didn’t have to choose, it was still wa...

The group was immediately greeted by moist air and the musty scent of rampant mildew.
There were also mushrooms—lots and lots of mushrooms. They were absolutely everywhere.
Fungi of every height and color blanketed a soft, squishy landscape, most glowing faintly blue and purple in the gloom.

The group emerged onto a sun-drenched plain, where orangish-red grass rustled in a gentle breeze and sparse, scattered trees dotted the horizon.
A single blue-shelled locust buzzed past—only to be sliced cleanly in two by Kimi in a flash.

The next morning, Xay, Dragon, Lexi, Kimi, Tyra, and Willow shared a light breakfast in their kitchen before getting ready.
Everyone was hype to leave the city, especially Tyra. This was only the largest hurdle standing in their way.
It was finally time to clear the Cosmos Academy Dungeon.
The dungeon was broken into ten floors, each with its own ...

The shark maid staff aggressively cleared the table, flashing sharp teeth and predatory grins the entire time.

She loved his birthdays—mostly because they were the only times he’d accept a gift from her without protest.
She gave him a nose ring last year that acted as dimensiona...

Xay found himself floating in a sea of darkness, surrounded by tiny, multicolored lights. A familiar, ancient presence enveloped him—but stronger than ever before.
In front of his eyes, the lights spun and flowed rapidly toward him. They touched his body, flowed inside, and coalesced into a powerful eruption of energy.
From within him, a complete world even more spect...

“Why does he live in the sewer again?” Ezra asked, grimacing. “You’d think he could live literally anywhere else.”
“Well, it’s called ‘Sewer Samurai,’ not ‘Anywhere Else Samurai,’” Lexi laughed.

Xay luxuriated atop Lexi and Kimi’s thighs as his two active cognitive threads focused on working his puzzle with *Psychokinesis*.
After taking the Nootropic Concretion Serum, his cognition expanded, accelerated, and split into four parallel threads.
His mental faculties and control of psychic force had taken a significant leap.

Rox punched forward with devastating force. Xay met the tough redhead’s fist with his own, knuckle to knuckle, refusing to yield an inch.
He wasn’t relying on psionics or intricate martial forms—just raw, bare-knuckle brawling, matching his advisor blow for blow.
Xay kicked out, his foot catching her toned thigh just as she drove an elbow into his chin.
And #723 in the whole Kindle Store!
Bond Arsenal 2 just shattered all my previous best sale rank records.

As always, thank you.

Yo, that's a wrap on Bond Arsenal 2. I had a lot of fun with this one, testing out a few extended mini-arcs and more character direction.
If you’ve enjoyed the book here, please consider leaving a review on Amazon when it drops.
Reviews are overpowered in the Amazon universe. I would say the more the better, but I’ve found out the hard way that it takes nearly ten 5 star ratings to drown out a single 1 star review.

Just moments before Xay exited the tunnel, everyone back at the Quantium Rooftop was in high spirits.
