See No Evil: Legacy (ch. 72)

"Hhhnnnghahhh…!" I groaned, stretching and feeling every joint in my body pop. A satisfied sigh escaped me as I rolled my shoulders, glancing at Cass who was looking at me with an expression of disgust. So, I turned my head and popped my neck, making her nose crinkle.

"Bad. Gross," Cass remarked, crossing her arms as she looked away from me. Feeling refreshed, I took a sip of the coffee that was resting on my desk. The strong flavor washed over my tongue -- I had released my blend of ...

See No Evil: Schemes (ch. 71)

Jason sat in the Mountain, looking at the TV that read out the latest news -- the economy kinda just vanished on Monday morning when the stock market opened. Money was something that Jason understood well. When you were so poor a few pennies could mean the difference between life and death, learning how money worked was a high priority. It was one of the first things he had sought to learn about once he was able to go to school. Unfortunately school didn't really teach you how the economy fun...

Fool's World: The Sun (ch. 15)

"Hnngh...ahhh…" I groaned, clenching my already closed eyes in discomfort. My last memories slammed into me like a brick to the face. Which made it so startling that I was resting on a soft bed instead of the hard stairs that I had passed out on. Forcing myself into a sitting position, my eyes only opened when my forehead collided with someone else's.

"Ah!" I heard Rin cry out in pain, clutching her head as I looked around. "Why is your head so hard?"

"What happened? Where's Shi...

Fool's World: Temperance (ch. 14)

The odds weren't lost on me. I knew damn well that the only thing I would manage to accomplish against the hulking mass of muscle clad in dark leathery skin was to break my fists on him. At best, my blood would be difficult to wash out from his skirt, but he didn't strike me as the kind of guy that minded bloodstains. There was just a stunning lack of fear. A complete absence of it.

It wasn't like I was above running. I was willing to at the drop of a hat if things looked bad. We fled t...

Fool's World: The Empress (ch. 13)

There were a lot of types of idiots in the world. There were almost as many types as there were actual idiots. Stupidity was a rather common trait when you came right down to it, even she herself suffering from it at times. However, it was the first time that Rin had ever witnessed someone that actively thrived off of stupidity.

In a dull state of disbelief, bordering on a sense of awe, she watched Majima grab a man by his face before tossing him into traffic, just in time for ...

See No Evil: House of Cards (ch. 70)

"Do it," I spoke, walking back to my hotel room after clashing against the Light for the first time. I undeniably got the better of them in this encounter. I could hear them admit as much from my planted bugs. How they underestimated me. How I had already proved too dangerous and they were making plans to remove me from the board. I was rather flattered, really. All it took was one meeting for the Light to decide that they should kill me because I wasn't worth the trouble.

They weren't ...

Gone Native: The Nature of Change (ch. 27)

"You almost blew up the planet," Kara said in lieu of greeting me as I stepped inside of the living room in Titan Tower. It was a spacious room seated at the intersection of the T-shaped building. A kitchen was tucked into one corner of the room, while directly across from the door that connected to the corridor was a large half circle shaped couch. Currently on display on a holographic screen were various news feeds that detailed the battle. Most of it was all second hand accounts, but while...

Gone Native: New Normal (ch. 26)

"These provocations were expected," I told Ada'la, sitting on what I could only describe as a throne. It was too grand to be called a simple chair.

I only had one at her behest, because she went through the trouble of having over a hundred designed for me. The look that she gave me when I picked the simplest one wasn't one I would soon be forgetting -- a white stone slab that had a place to sit carved into it without so much as a cushion. It appealed to me more than the floating thrones...

Gone Native: Aftermath (ch. 25)

For what was meant to be a fight for the sake of the human race and their right to decide their own future, Dick Grayson had to admit, losing the fight was way less catastrophic than the picture that had been painted for them by Hal Jordan and John Stewart. Said picture had been the extinction of the human race if they proved to be too much trouble, and enslavement if they didn't put up enough of a fight.

So, the heroes of Earth took upon themselves the task to fight for Earth. To win t...

See No Evil: See No Light (ch. 69)

As one would expect, finding out the President of the UN was secretly a robot being piloted by an ankle biter of an alien… well, it raised some concerns. How long had aliens been secretly guiding the UN for? Why were they doing it? If the UN President was an alien then who else could be one? Was the President of America an alien? Was that cute waitress an alien? Was I an alien and just didn't know it?

The panic, which was being kept under wraps to prevent the world from finding out, c...

Risk It All: House Odds (ch. 32)

Beach days made a lot more sense to me in hindsight as we made our way back into the mountain after a long day outdoors. I never really got how splashing at each other in the water for hours on end could be entertaining, but it somehow was. It wasn't about playing in the water so much as it was just hanging out.

The day out smoothed over some of the issues between the team. Not because we addressed them, but because we didn't. The drama and friction between the two halves of the team we...

Gone Native: Making Peace (ch. 24)

I had been mistaken about the specifics of Humanity's safe haven. I thought it was a parallel universe, but it turned out to be more of an isolated pocket dimension that was a mirror of the planet Earth. I had been right about the time dilation effect -- the time I had spent fighting on Earth had added up to about a year in the pocket dimension.

"I hope you understand that I won't take your word for it," I told Lex Luthor, the new leader of the new United Nations. They had used the year...

Announcement: New Year Resolutions!

First of all, happy New Year! We made it another trip around the sun. Can't speak for everyone, but for me it still feels like it's 2020. 

I figured that now would be as good of a time as any to talk a bit about the Patreon and how I intend things to progress for the year -- ways that the Patreon will improve, and things I intend to change. 

From the top of the order, I have some lore for you guys. Way back when the Patreon first began, when I was settin...

Fool's World: The Emperor (ch. 12)

I paused, looking at the man for the briefest of seconds as I considered how to answer. I hadn't expected to see him here. Honestly, I never expected to see him again after bumping into him at the church. I kinda hoped that would be the case too, because the guy was a jerk. But, that remark caught my curiosity -- was he a fellow Master? Was this an offer to negotiate some kind of deal? A non-aggression pact? An alliance? Trade info for info?

"We're having a not-date right now, so I'll o...

See No Evil: Circles Within Circles (ch. 68)

It was a familiar song and dance -- shaking hands, trading compliments, and whispering rumors. The gala was in full swing as more of the world's delegation had arrived to soothe the tension between America and China. There was laughing, joking, and smiles all around. But, under the table, deals were being made. Favors were being exchanged, plots were being hatched to take down a mutual enemy, and plans were being laid to betray trusted allies. It was everything I thought it would be and, hone...

Risk It All: Cultural Exchange (Omake)

This is a commissioned Omake chapter. Non-canon, but you can consider it a continuation of a parallel timeline or something.

I rested my hand on Diana's thigh, an action I never expected to come to me with such ease, but I found that it got much easier with repetition. Her skin was smooth and soft under my palm, despite the powerful muscles I could feel just beneath the surface. I heard Diana take in a breath as we both sat down on the couch in ...

Gone Native : The Unstoppable Force (ch. 23)

It was impossible to tell who moved first between me and Superman. It wouldn't be wrong to say that we moved at the same exact time rather than one reacting to the other. However, while it was impossible to tell who instigated the clash, the entire planet felt it in the sonic boom that traveled across the globe, the impact of our knuckle colliding as we threw mirroring punches.

Superman frowned ever so slightly, instantly recognizing that I was stronger compared to our last clash. In te...

Risk It All: Payoff (ch. 31)

"I hate everything about this," I said, really kinda wishing that Jin had just killed me when she had the chance. Or I let Killer Croc eat me. Either would be preferable to the date that I was suffering now.

"So quit whining and get it over with. Put the hat on," the other Ren said, standing across from me with a camera in his hands. After some time, it was easier just to refer to my copy as Beifong. Beifong was hunched over, and would probably be twisting his back into knots if it wasn...
