Power Corrupts: Expanding the Family (ch. 40)

"Ah… fuck me," I cursed, my heart hammering away at my ribs as I looked down at the Dragon Priest. Just to make sure, I stomped on its ribs, shattering them like glass, and its pelvis. Just to make sure that it was down for the count. The ancient robes tore, possibly ruining whatever enchantments were placed on them, but, honestly? If it meant I had to go another round with the thing then I didn't really care. 

Looking down at the sack of shattered bones, I couldn't help but wond...

Power Corrupts: Raid Bosses (ch. 39)

"That weapon, what is it?" Aela spoke up first after we cleared the opening room. She double-checked a few bodies, to find that they were thoroughly dead but her eyes lingered on Lili's crossbow. Which was a very valid response because Lili had killed the bulk of them in a handful of seconds. It was hardly the first time I had seen her use it, but it was the first time on targets that weren't monsters. 

Looking at the damage she inflicted, the only thing I could compare it to was a...

Power Corrupts: Bleak Falls Barrow (ch. 38)

While Mr. Jericho was getting reacquainted with Lady Hestia, it was up to Lili to judge Mr. Jericho's traveling companions. Two men, twins from the look of it, and two women. All four of them reminded Lili too much of Adventurers for comfort -- the rough sort that enjoyed fighting and dangerous situations. Back in Orario, that type had been the worst of those that she supported because more often than not, not only would they rob her but they would beat her as well. 

But Mr. Jerich...

Biggest Tipper Poll: Should I stick with the Waifu Catalog?

I wanted to get some feedback on an idea I've been toying with. Basically, I'm thinking of not going with the waifu catalog and instead simply doing the occasional poll with waifus that would be voted on, much like Tifa was. I've been considering it for a bit now, but the waifu catalog isn't meant for the kind of story I'm trying to tell -- mainly, someone that's desperate to get a leg up on life and he's willing to walk over other people if he gets there.

See No Evil: A Rock (ch. 2 Draft)

Not all suffering was created equal, and all things considered, I had it better than most. I wasn't in crippling debt that kept me from getting ahead in life, or that would undercut my attempts at getting ahead in life. I didn't have any priors that stopped me from getting a job. The one thing that was holding me back was my lack of identity. But, in a city like Gotham, that problem was hardly insurmountable. 

"A new identity?" Jack asked as we sat on the edge of a lon...

See No Evil: A Hard Place (ch. 3 Draft)

I sorta, almost, kinda had a plan. Or, I had an idea that could become a plan with a little nurture and care. And by nurture and care, I meant dumb luck, a little cunning, and some more information. Though, it was still a bad idea. It was just my only one, so it was the one I had to go with. 

Stepping outside of the waiting room, leaving my pristine silence pistol in my pant’s line to act as a deterrent, I nearly ran into Dr. Leslie Thompkins as she went to enter the waiting room...

See No Evil: Rock Bottom (ch. 1 Draft)

So, here’s the first draft of the rewrite of Be a Dragon. Let me know what you think -- what you didn’t like, what you liked, what you would like to see less of and what you want to see more of. I’ll take the feedback into account, adjust the chapter accordingly, then a second draft will be posted. 

I’ll post some answers to some questions you might have at the end of the chapter.

Whose POV in Going Native would you like to see?

I was planning on adding an additional Pov segment for ch. 41 of Going Native, but I couldn't decide who I wanted to go with. 

The choices are:

Bardock -- to see what he and the Ginyu squad are up to and it will shed some light on the coup. 

Frieza -- To see how the war is progressing from a bird's eye view, a peek at Vegeta and the saiyan princes roles in the future

Hawkwoman -- A peek at the Thanagarian Emp...

Going Native: Sound of War (ch. 42)

A reminder: I will be taking a break from July 3rd to July 10th so there will be no updates during that week.   

Ended up splitting the battle for Antiople into two chapters. The pacing feels better this way. 

...

"You know your squads, you know your objectives, and you know what to do," Avery spoke calmly through the speakers of everyone in the 501st. Prince Tarble, as capable of a leader as he was, undervalued the effect of a speech. Just a ...

"Get out of my face," Fasha warned, taking a threatening step forward towards the downright ugly alien that had pissed her off. Her eyes blazed yellow, the mind-shattering agony of the Wrath State flooded her veins, making them bulge as she kept her instincts to destroy and slaughter in check. If only because the alien that was stupid enou...

Should Jericho learn the Thu'um or Magic?

Figured now that all of my patrons have had a chance to think about the question, I should put up a poll. The plan is that Jericho will be spending two months with either the Greybeards or the College of Winterhold. 

If Jericho goes to the Greybeards, he will be learning three Shouts -- Unrelenting Force, Dragonrend, and a third Shout that will be determined by another poll. With this option, Lili will be the one going to the College and she will go there to learn Support magic. Re...

This chapter was meant to be Bleak Falls Barrow but I ended up writing fluff instead.

Vacation Announcement from July 3rd to July 10th

Sorry about it being late notice, but I will be taking off July 3rd to July 10th. I think it's a good time to take a break because Power Corrupts and Going Native won't be left on a cliffhanger for an extra weak, and it'll give me some extra time to plot out Hidden Dragon. So, while it is short notice, I think the 3rd-10th is probably the best time for me and my stories to take a small break. 

Again, very sorry for how short notice it is. This month has just blown right by me. I wa...

See No Evil: A Hard Place (Ch. 2 Draft)

Here is the draft for the second chapter. Like before, tell me what you liked, what you didn't and I can fine tweak the chapter to your feedback. 

There have been some changes to the previous chapter. 

Nero is now Vergil.

Be a Dragon: A Rose with Thorns (ch. 17) (Final Chapter)

I crouched on my white shield, bracing myself against the sudden turns and force as I spun downward, all to aware that I was being chased by a half down missiles. The white orbs above me fired blindly, hoping to get a lucky shot in while I looked to the side at the robots that clung to the walls. Their arms jerked back from the recoil in a steady rhythm, their shots sailing by me harmlessly as I got used to predicting their trajectories. 

Shifting my weight, I jerked to the side fa...

Her eyes blazed yellow, the mind-shattering agony of the Wrath State flooded her veins, making them bulge as she kept her instincts to destroy and slaughter in check. If only because the alien that was stupid enough to try to shoulder check her was wearing a Frieza-force uniform. Sort of. 

The alien was wreathed in fire, two volcano-like protrusions were i...

Going Native: Touch of Ruthlessness (ch. 40)

"This is your test to see if you are worthy of learning the Wrath State," I spoke to the hundred and twenty thousand children that stood in front of me while the eleven thousand members of the 501st stood behind me. I could practically feel their excitement like static in the air. At the very front were the hundred saiyans that I had helped train. Standing next to them were a hundred that Matillo had picked out. Behind them were ten each for the ten thousand that would be assigned to the Team...

Power Corrupts: Moving Up (ch.36)

I don’t know what happened to this chapter. I was hoping to get to Helgen, but no such luck. The scenes just wrote themselves until there wasn’t room for it. The next chapter it is then.

"So… there are Ten Divines now? Heh. The Thalmor aren't going to be happy about that," Kodlak said after a lengthy silence. He seemed to be the one that was handling this the best out of the three of us. Jarl Balgruuf sat in his chair, his hands clasped before him as a deep furrow ...

Be a Dragon: Simulation (ch.16)

It really couldn't be understated just how much wearing a condom muffled sensations, I realized as I plunged into Raven's depths. She tried to keep back a moan, turning it into a breathless whimper of need and that was a thousand times hotter. I felt every fold with incredible detail -- the only thing I could compare it to was the time I finally got glasses and realized I spent my life until that point blind as a bat. 

And it wasn't just me that was feeling it. As my hips found the...
