Legend of Matai: Zera - Pilot

I wrote this for fun, a pilot focusing on the very first character I ever created. Likely not a serious project but just something to write on my downtime. I just wanted to share it with you all <3. Hope y'all enjoy. I've got two chapters written. See how it goes. If it gets a positive enough reaction I'll write more.

Brief info bit: This story is set in the world that the Imperious universe is based on.

An educated person from the village would know the name of the mo...

Vigilantes 1 (This should have come out yesterday)

Chapter 152

You know, you could have just snuck in completely unnoticed, Ishtar pointed out.

Sonya smirked to herself as she wheeled the hand cart out of the rather cramped elevator, the two men who had ushered her inside the building walking on ahead. They were walking along some kind of catwalk overlooking a larger room that also seemed to be for storage. Is her base made entirely out of warehouses? Preppers, I swear, Sonya thought as something caught her eye. She squinted down ...

Chapter 151

Sonya felt euphoric. It was unlike anything she’d ever experienced before. Tiny motes of power burning in her body like little stars. She raised her hand up and examined her fingers, flexing them experimentally as a wave of giddiness washed over her. There’s a bright one in my wrist. It’s pretty. Her lips twitched up in a smile even as her mind recoiled slightly. “S-so this the aftermath of Visage of Titania,” she laughed, her words and thoughts felt misaligned, off kilter....

Chapter 150

Sonya found a set of stairs that led down from the platform she’d come in on. She winced as she stepped down and glanced down at her body, dismissing her regalia so she could herself. The healing is going so slowly, she thought as she alighted on the lower platform that turned out to be some kind of landing. It was also way larger than it looked from above, deceptively so. She turned on the spot and glanced back where she’d come from. There was something mounted to the wall ...

Welp!!

So 150 accidentally dropped ahead of 149 for some reason, not sure why that happened. Patreon is giving me a headache today. I've edited it to be chapter 149 properly.

Edit: Since it's already in everyone's inbox I'll just go ahead and release 150.

Chapter 149

The trees that hung over the initial passage out of the lobby made it impossible to see the sky while the path itself bent just slightly to the right in a lazy curve to block anyone standing in the lobby from seeing further inside. At the end of the passage, though, it was like they’d stepped into something out of a dream. He nearly walked right into Ollie’s back, the others standing in mute fascination at the awe inspiring view. 

They were standing before a vast forest with ta...

Chapter 148

Halloway’s eyes shot open as a sharp pain rushed up his side. He coughed, wincing against the blazing heat that had begun to pool around his right side as his skin sizzled and burned. His vision swam and he forced himself to look down at the injury. A shard of wood was sticking out of his waist, the long branch stretching out another foot and a half and saturated with blood. His eyes fluttered as he reached for it, snarling against the pain. As an assassin he had specialized in the sudden a...

So this should have come out yesterday, sorry about that. I'm trying to put these out in the proper order rather than just doing side stories on wednesdays.

Chapter 147

A bullet whizzed by Alex’s ear, his head whipping forward in response to the sound. He dove forward and kept running, pushing off the ground with his hands to get a little acceleration before he leaped into the air and whipped his arm out, covered in scales. The massive limb that grew from his body crushed a pair of trees before colliding with one of their attackers. He landed and kept moving, patting his waist to check that the pair of small legs were still wrapped around him. He glanced b...

Chapter 146

Chunhua took each breath slowly, power rising up through her nostrils and spreading out into her body. She felt it gather at her core and spread back out into the cycle of internal energy within her meridians. Each pathway carried strength where it needed to go, each passing second she felt her power build. She let the breath out and her strength stabilized. This will do for now, she thought before tapping her earpiece. “Amos.”

<”I’m ready,”> he said, <”Do ...

He lowered his hand and examined the readout from the dungeon, the changes were starting to take effect. It was so interesting. He had only used a few of his cheats and the features of his ability. They were all he needed and the others seemed so pointless when he’d first acquired them. What more did he need than to be invincible? He frowned a little, Clearly much more, he thought as he remembered the pain of being blown nearly to pieces by a self-destructing An Set. He raised...

This wasn’t a trap, this wasn’t a space created by liberty’s cronies, this wasn’t some trick or nonsense or anything like that. This place was very, very real. What’s worse, Sonya knew exactly where she was. She hadn’t wanted to believe it for the first few minutes of wandering the endless halls, running at top speed. Yet the more she traveled and the stranger this place became to her eyes, the more she had to accept it. 

I’m in the Backrooms, the place that Non-E...

She could hear the crackling again, it’d been a while. Every night was another nightmare, but at least they were tamer and tamer these days. She’d been wondering when the peace would end. She let out a breath and opened her eyes. The street was decimated, lurkers everywhere, hounds darting past them in clumps as they sought out any bright sources of mana in the area. Sonya ran her fingers through her hair and looked down at her fingers. Everything was all mixed up now. Her nails were mani...

Side Story: Camp 3

Lillian crouched among the trees with the others, aspirants who were considering taking on the role of scout. They crowded over the map they had made so far. Stealth wasn’t exactly her thing, but she’d gotten used to sneaking around a little bit as she worked with the other scouts. While she probably wouldn’t end up taking the scouting role in the future, it was good to have a strong understanding of what went into it, at least in her opinion. She ran her fingers over the digital map an...

The single light in the dark room flickered, a small hum and crackle coming from the bulb. Two hooded men stood together, speaking in hushed voices. Both of them checked their watches nearly at the same time before glancing towards a door. A heartbeat later it slid open, a third man stepping inside and shutting it behind him. His expression was grim. He crossed the room slowly, pulling out an earpiece and slipping it into his ear as he came to a stop. His hair was short and gleamed a bit silv...

Lily hustled down the hall, she’d been reminded multiple times not to use her physical abilities inside the common building. She cursed a little under her breath, Damn it, if Luke hadn’t put his storage room half-way across the building this wouldn’t have taken so long! She grouched, rounding the corner into the main common area before darting to the left towards the planetary diorama and the stairs leading down. She took two steps at a time, careful not to drop her cargo,...

Erebus sat in his throne room, chin resting on his knuckles as he stared into space. The stage for his scheme had been more than far enough away to keep any sense of the action far away from him and his own. That was the plan, after all. Why make a move and set yourself up to fail afterwards? Ultimately, every plan needed a favorable end, and that included ensuring that one got away with what one intended to do. His eyes narrowed and he glanced towards the small monitor that had been installe...

Side Story: Saleh 1

It all happened far too quickly for Saleh to wrap his head around. One moment August was walking out of the hallway, the next all hell broke loose. The wind blew so hard it was impossible to hear anything. He could see portions of the metal sheets that had come down as part of the lockdown shudder and bend beneath the force of the wind. Based on Ishtar’s words, it must be someone called ‘First Wind’, he personally hadn’t heard of them but if he had to guess they were a hero and a thre...

Reminder

Just a reminder that I'm on a general break this week. I know I just picked Imperious back up. Yall will get more Anna VERY soon. After the passing of a dear furry friend, the end of S1 in free release, and finally getting a publisher, I needed a bit of time to breathe.

I'll see you all Monday!
