Charlie snickered as his whiskers bounced up and down in rhythm with his laughter. "No, sadly. I have no idea where the gods can be found. I'm happy to see that you're so enthusiastic, though."
Lone slunk back into his seat and furrowed his brow. "Okay, fair enough. I kind of skipped a few questions there. What do you know about the gods then?"
Charlie nodded. "That's definitely a better question, but first, why don't you tell us what you know about them, Lon...

Rose tapped her forehead and a can of ice-cold coke appeared on the table. She grabbed it, cracked it open, then took a hearty sip.
Daz raised an eyebrow. "It seems that storage-type skills or items are the new trend. Well, were the new trend, what with Lesser Identification being the new one."
Rose gave him a funny look. "I've had this skill before you even had the original version of your Industrial Item Box. You can be really dumb while trying to sound sma...

"I was expecting for perhaps half of the theatre to fill, Brother. What a surprise that it is over capacity with people standing in the isles," Mu commented as he watched a few units of soldiers desperately trying their best to keep everyone from hurting each other given how many people had shown up.
"This was a guarantee, Mu. Fort Home has over 200,000 citizens. This theatre can hold, at most, about 2,000, maybe 3,000 if push comes to shove. Considering how many bonuses I ...

"... This place is pretty fuckin' huge. Are we really underground right now?" Lone asked as he and Glenn walked through the spacious and well-decorated halls of the palace.
Glenn shrugged. "Feels pretty small when you've worked here for as many years as I have. I guess it is pretty big though if you stop to look at it... Maybe as big as a normal-sized city? Anyway, yeah. We're under Leytograndia right now. This place is a secret, so no lip-flappin', yeah? As a favour from y...

Daz, Mu, and Madison were stood atop the stage of Fort Skip's theatre along with Rimmy's core.
"So what now, Brother?" Mu asked.
The building was empty save for a handful of people that worked on the stage's lighting and safety features who had stayed behind to cater to the king's needs.
"That city upgrade I bought for Vegas. I'll get that for Fort Home and let everyone know what we're about to do. Simple as that. It's a shame this theatre isn't magical. I'd lov...

I haven't commissioned any art in ages. I was recently paying off a Nintendo Switch I bought on credit (thank god I did given the whole COVID-19 thing) and I've been spending my spare money mostly on games for it, but it occurs to me that it's been fuckin' forever since the last piece of art.
And not only that, it was the disappointing art of Han from SIS.

Laying down on his bed with Soph in his arms, Lone stroked her hair and whispered, "Don't worry. I'll think of something. Both you and Sophie will be fine, okay?"
Unable to open her eyes due to the pain but still able to see thanks to Mana Sensing, Soph weakly nodded. "Mmm... I trust you, Lone... We both do..."

Even Kyuubi was awake for once and she looked to be on the verge of tears. The girl hadn't cried once since Lone...

Divine Rend's eyes opened wide in shock as he felt his knees go weak.
His entire soul shook as several cracks appeared along its surface, each deeper than the last. The cracks only stopped when they were 12 in number.
However, even though the cracks had stopped forming on his otherwise flawless soul, Divine Rend's mind and body were still screaming out in pain.
Unable to endure such a fierce attack, his legs lost the war and he fell onto his knees. 'He said ...

Jim stood in front of Fort Home's hospital with a face full of anxiety as he stared up at the large medicinal cross sign hanging over the building's entrance. The cross had a root-slayer shovel pictured behind it instead of the usual twin serpents coiling around a rod.
Jim liked the new rendition of the traditional symbol of healing, honestly. It was very fitting given who the ruler of the kingdom was.
Speaking of the hospital, it was only a week old. The owner of For...

Food as far as the eye could see. Well, not quite literally, but it was almost impossible to see the large round table in the room's centre from all of the plates and platters that covered it.
Only one section was clear of delicious smelling food or drinks, the area where three exceedingly tall men were sat.
Lone pegged the shortest one at being about 7-foot-tall while the largest was easily a foot taller than that.
On the other side of the table, Rangah was dig...

On their way back, just before arriving at New York City, Daz had decided to finally get around to using his Survivor's Instinct's Future Vision to see if he could discern exactly why the power didn't want him to spend a majority of his enormous wealth.
He hadn't had a chance thus far. Initially, Daz had planned to do this on the way to New York from El Dorado but he had gotten side-tracked by the situation in Las Vegas.
In his mind, now was as good a time as...

"So, would you care to at least entertain me by voicing your request?" Headmaster Erion asked.
His face was a perfect picture of relaxation. The eyes behind his low-rimmed glasses gave nothing of his emotions away.

Emma had quietly listened to Daz's offer as she lay there on her bed, no emotions showing on her ashen face.
Once the reaper was done, Emma managed to leak out a small smile of resignation. "I don't care. Fight the Truthians and die, take me back to your kingdom to live on Master Sorola's life support, abandon me and my few remaining people. None of it matters."
She closed her eyes and added, "Kill me, even, if you wish to. Perhaps it will help you vent some of that a...

Well, I didn't manage those bonus chapters last week but I did get out all of the normal chapters, which is a win in my books!
If you aren't up to date with my discord server updates, 3/4ths of a SIS chapter is done and 1/4th of an LTW chapter is done, so good progress.
Seeing as how it's already Wednesday, no likely undoable promises this week. The goal is 2 SIS, 2 LTW, 1 LTW [Rewrite].
Next week I'm hoping for an extra LTW chapter to finally bump the 22 early chapters (and...

Lone and his group had immediately left The Academy and had returned to Lone's Wondrous Emporium after Lone had paid out for Infa and Garadia's forfeiture.
They choose the shop over their hotel because that very hotel was now the home of many foreign diplomats, and honestly, while they could likely handle the fallout of an altercation, none of them were very keen on Lone getting pissed off at some stuck-up noble again.
That was a bit of a habit of his now, they'd lear...

'System, show me my ranking list, please,' Daz requested as he found a wall to lean against.
Mu had taken the stool next to Emma's bed and was now discussing matters related to espers with her.
He was apparently very interested in the topic but had failed to learn anything from the equally clueless Daz.
Mu wasn't very skilled at talking to Madison he'd learned after his handful of meetings with her and meeting Rose was practically impossible for anyone ...

A white ceiling and a single hanging light.
Emma wondered if it was wise to keep on living when these two things very well may be the only things she will ever consistently see again for her entire life.
Well, those and Master Sorola. Without him she wound die pretty swiftly, after all. Not a terrible outcome the woman thought, given the circumstances.
At this point, what was left for her and her remaining people but death? Mindless obedience to a cult, that's w...

Disappointed at being rejected by Divine Bumblefuck, Lone sighed. He did, however, understand.
Not everyone was willing to teach him practically for free like Headmaster Erion with his clouded motivations and Archon Milos with his obvious want to learn more of Lone and Soph's unique skills.
Lone tightly gripped Saturn and tried to clear his mind - still something he wasn't very skilled at. Nonetheless, he was focused now.
With a powerful leap, he soared across t...

Firstly, the schedule. The plan for right now is an LTW and a rewrite chapter today with a good chance of a SIS one.
That''ll leave one SIS and one LTW chapter for this week unfinished. I intend to do them on Monday and Tuesday respectively before getting back to the normal schedule once again.
So yeah, nothing much new there. Slightly behind as always. What's important here is the notifications.
I actually quite often get messages or comments regarding emails for updates on...

Daz quickly unsummoned his clones as well as Rimmy before returning to the diamond crater.
He'd have loved to have kept Alpha around to keep Las Vegas in order, however, doing so was pointless when he and Mu could have their access to the system stripped from them in only a few hours.
It made more sense to Daz to leave his warning and let the existing powers in Las Vegas figure things out on their own. It was doubtful that anything would really change. After all, it w...

He could definitely feel the Divine power rolling off of him, so he was trying his best to learn...

So the plan this week is for 4 LTW chapters, 2 SIS chapters, and of course, an LTW rewrite chapter.
I missed both LTW chapters last week mostly because the current arc is actually pretty hard to write. We're nearing the end of book 4, and with each new chapter, I want it to be more and more perfect. I just need to dedicate more time to it than usual, I suppose.
Chances are I won't meet this goal since I'm prioritising SIS more and more over LTW and since I've already decided to pu...
