Chapter 352

Felwinter leaned against the wall, her eyes narrowed as she watched Craftsman work. The chamber they were in was huge - a partially-domed, thirty-foot ceiling that stretched out for about the length of a football field. Every five feet or so, a massive crystal grew out of a root of almost fluid-looking calcified stone from the ceiling. Her lip twitched as she watched something move inside of one of the crystals, and she turned her attention back on Craftsman.

“Just get the job done, n...

Catching up.

Starting to catch up! I still need to get further ahead before I can get Villains and Henchmen fixed and at the correct distance from the public release. I'm doing everything I can to get things chugging along. Once I have my backlog back I'll get Imperious going again.

Chapter 351

Sonya - no - Ishtar floated through the portal. The moment she passed the threshold, she immersed herself into the role. It wasn’t like the shaky self-defensive, borderline-personality shifts that she had used early in her career, nor was it simply flipping over to Erina. She put the name on like a mantle. Despite all the progress she’d made and all the growth she’d achieved, taking on the name and owning it was still a complex feeling. She’d answered to the name when playing...

Side Story: Vigilante Hunt 1

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t remember what had happened. Not a damn thing. The last memory before waking up in the cell was laying down for some sleep. She’d nodded off and then woke up slumped against the wall with a throbbing ache in her neck and collarbone. Panic had sent her surging to her feet. She’d hurried to the transparent wall of her enclosure and checked, tugging down at the collar of her prison jumpsuit. A scar, faint but still clearly visible, cut straight thr...

Workin' on it!

351 Is in progress gang. Wrapping up the edits for Book 2 this past weekend ripped through my catch-up time. I'll get it out as soon as possible. Got a side-story I'm working on too. I apologize for all the delays. It's been a crazy month and I am working hard to get back on track. My health is fine, it's just getting Chronos to stop being a jackass.

Be kind to one another!

Chapter 350

The locker seemed so humble, after everything that had happened up to this point in her life. Just a single slip of steel and a set of hinges. She ran her hand over it and put in the combination with a few quick flips of her wrist. She pulled it open with a yank, and reached in to grab a fresh top and pants from the vacuum sealed bags inside. Crusader chuckled and shook her head. “Figured I was just being pragmatic,” she muttered. “These have been here for a while.”

She threw on...

Chapter 349

Sonya flipped her hair back, her jaw set, as she strode towards the conference room. It was easy to relax with her sister and Marta. The truth was her gut was still doing flips just thinking about what was on the other side of this door. She exhaled and reached up to stroke Levi’s chin. The familiar clung to her shoulders in his salamander form. He seemed quite pleased with his new shape now for some reason and had been a puddle of lazy goo for the past few hours.

“Scamp,” she chu...

Book 2 Will be Stubbed Today + Chapter Update

Hey guys, book 2 is being stubbed today. Spent the weekend combing over it. Chapter coming out today, asap.

Chapter 348

Erina sat on the bed, her arms crossed, and watched her sister pace back and forth. Sonya was furious but subdued. She’d watched self control snap into place like a heavy lock after a few moments of incandescent fury. Erina agreed with Sonya’s right to be angry. Not at any one party, of course, but the situation was unfortunate. While Nietz had initially come off as a bit troublesome and swayed slightly on his heroic path, he had rebounded well. A true young paragon that reminded Sonya of...

Chapter 347

The vision was so vivid. Not like the dream-like states that she’d been in before. She flew over the clouds, down through the icy mist and into the sky above an ancient forest. Trees that reached to the sky called to her, offering rest. She refused them, her eyes forward. There was a goal at the end of this. She couldn’t rest. She flapped her wings and the colors bled, light shifted, the world changed, and once more she was among the clouds.

Not here.

Whatever she was...

Chapter 346

Amos stared at the screen in silence, his jaw feeling just a little loose. His eyes were fixed not on the spot where Tenebra had fled, but on the young man standing almost dead center in the picture. His light combat armor had stretched slightly as intended. It was a prototype and Amos hadn’t actually had time one-on-one with the kid to make something tailored. The gear wasn’t the problem though. It was everything else about Nietz. His broad shoulders rose and fell, his hair fluttered, an...

346 Tweaks

Still rewriting a chunk of 346 that I wasn't pleased with. Hour at most. Teeny tiny delay.

Villains and Henchmen Update

Access issue should be fixed now! Let me know if any chapters give you trouble. I'll be working on the ToC very soon and get that sorted out. Orz

Chapter 345

Sonya’s eyes narrowed just a little as she watched the young woman take center stage. Her lips thinned into a line. She kept her expression neutral even as she took in the positioning of the Styx-hired Henchmen on the upper floors and Wordsmith’s placement. Her eyes flicked towards the heroes in opposition. Nietz and Dragoon were positioned next to one another. Kong was a short distance to their left. Hui and Glint were further back and their support team were even further back than that,...

Volume 2 To Be Stubbed+News

Volume 2 will be stubbed over this weekend/monday. As a heads up!

Broker Volume 2 is approaching official release!

Villains and Henchmen should get a much needed catch-up update soon. Workin hard to get everything cleaned up after my illness.

Chapter 344

The members of team Wallbreaker stepped forward next. Hui, Locke, Armory, and Hammond. While Sonya didn’t exactly know their abilities as well as she knew the members of Team Pyrolisis, she was more than knowledgeable enough to infer what they needed. So the tokens cracked one at a time and her gifts were granted. It was a shame that she couldn’t make every improvement perfect or utterly overpowered-that would be a little too suspicious.

Still, she had options.

For Hui she was...

Picking back up today!

344 Comes out today~

Ooo Aaah!

Hey guys! I'm almost done with 344 and I've got the planning done for 345. Thank you guys so so so so much for your patience and understanding. This past week has been incredibly trying and I cannot thank you all enough. I will be getting back online on the Discord in the next day or so once I'm satisfied with what I've got. I guess I needed a bit more rest than I thought. U_U. Welp! Time to get back to things, Heroes and Villains. We've got a world to save.

Be kind to one another <...

Update

Sorry for the radio silence gang. I am okay, I am alive, I am feeling better. I will give you guys a better update this evening or tomorrow morning. Thanks again for being so understanding and patient.

Health Report

I am going to be real with myself here. I am not doing great physically. I've been dealing with a number of symptoms all week and it has made writing a challenge, not to mention just accomplishing anything else productive. I am going to pause things very very briefly. Bed rest and then make-up chapters for you guys. I know this week has been chaotic as I've been trying to power through this, for that I apologize. I will get you chapters as soon as I can.

Thank you guys so much.

Chapter 343

Sonya stood at center stage. There were only a few faces in the stands, but with the light shining down on her she felt… right. She’d always loved a bit of extra attention, but having the spotlight on her while she pulled some of her greatest tricks of misdirection and illusion was exhilarating. She was like a stage magician but only she knew that she was performing. Well, her and a few select people. Her lip curled upward a bit into a smile as she flicked her eyes up and looked into her ...

Chapter 342

Team Pyrolysis was not the only hero team present on the Idol of Venus. While Cass, Alex, and Snow had gathered on deck to enjoy the clear skies and pleasant temperatures, Team Wallbreaker had taken to the sizable arcade they’d discovered a few doors down from the theater. Every time Sonya walked down the inner hallways of the massive ship, she could only wonder at how big the damn thing was. It was like its own self-contained city. Right now it felt a little empty, though, ...

Working on getting caught up

I am very well aware of the situation with the Henchie and Villain releases not going through. I'm going to manually go in and try to get caught up as quickly as I can over the next day or so! Apologies errbuddy.

Chapter 341

Sonya’s words hung in the air for several heartbeats as the two women stared one another down. A single drop of sweat beaded on Addison’s temple and traced down to her chin before splattering to the table. Sonya tilted her head forward and a little to the right, holding her gaze. Her mechanical eyes allowed her to remain utterly unblinking as she slowly applied pressure with the Imperious function of her ability. She pressed for just a little too long, a bit of pettiness working its way o...

Chapter 053 - Assistant

Within the relative quiet of her lab that had once been the processing room for the precinct, Anna stood with her hands on her hips. Two windows hovering in front of her face as she reviewed the two quests that had ostensibly consumed her life over the past week. Her eyes flicked from one window to the other, her lips thinning as she made certain she understood exactly what the expectations were and made sure she wasn’t missing anything.
