The River King 2

Taylor Hebert

Morning was my favorite time of the day. The best part of sleep was that I didn’t need to remember. For a few, glorious minutes, I could remain blissfully ignorant. I’d invariably wake up and the grogginess would clear. I’d be forced to confront the absolute shitsh...

Sabah called me out on Sunday morning. It wasn’t how I planned to spend my Sunday, but I could think of worse distractions.

The two of us met up at Harvey’s Bar & Grill again. It was my extraneous safehouse and close to the college. Like many similar bars, it had a Sunday brunch menu that mostly consisted of overpriced mimosas and bloody marys so college kids could fe...

Team Aqua’s ship was inside a large, three-sided warehouse that fed directly into the ocean. The warehouse was enormous, meant to allow dozens of tons of cargo to be moved directly from ship to storage. I only learned where it was t...

I’d captured the Vasil brothers at about half past noon and spent four hours flying to Los Angeles to dump them on Alexandria’s lap. Now that I didn’t have to worry about dropping an oversized snow globe, I was free to break as many aerial traffic laws as I pleased.

Which meant going as fast as I possibly co...

“Izanami no Mikoto gave birth to Kagutsuchi, the god of fire. However, so hot was the newborn god that he immolated his own mother,” I said solemnly. It was an old tale, one that had been adopted into YGGDRASIL’s canon by the devs.

“How horrible,” Tyene gasped, only partially feigned. She had a face that reminded me of a porcelain doll, innocent and wide-eyed, and she’d obviously had some practice pl...

Coil was a pain, but one that was largely out of my hair now. I’d spent all night cleaning up after him. Even with SAINT’s help, there was almost too much to do. I had to make sure that the worst of his mercenaries were arrested, disarm his physical failsafes, take stock of any hard copies of his records, and make sure none of the tinkertech he’d purchased from Toybox went �...

“Congratulations, Mitsu,” Kurobachi said as she flew circles around my head. Her wings buzzed merrily as sunlight rippled off her fuzzy, black abdomen. “You finally touched nature chakra!”

“Come on, he barely got a drop,” Shirobachi replied with a dismissive scoff. “Do you congratulate a man in the desert for catching a single drop of rainwater?”

“Why not? It’s a huge accomplishment fo...

2005, August 9: Adelaide, Australia

I remained within the several blocks of the city nearest to the coast, acting as underwater rescue. Eidolon was busy blocking the waves. Legend and Hero led mobile artillery teams against leviathan. Alexandria was our foremost brute, even if all she could do was get in the endbringer’s way. Capes who could move fluidly in water were few and far between.

I would dive, save a few people, then ru...

Burnout 2.3

August 2015

Following my physical exam and meeting with the gloom, I spent the next day with my pokemon and the poochyena. As cute as the pups were, this was more a necessity rather than a choice. I had to check in on the pups.

As much as they followed my orders, they weren’t my pokemon, as proven by the System’s lack of mention. Th...

I perked up as a familiar riff rang through the air. “I-Is that… Is that Dragonforce?”

“Durin is quite powerful. I hope Euri doesn’t go too far,” Eula said concernedly.

“No, not Durin. The band. It’s Dragonforce.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Your brother… Is he also a Traveler like me?”

“He is my twin. We were born here. I don’t understand the question...

Monthly Poll: March 2025

You know how this works. Can you believe you fuckers voted for PWP in both the monthly and weaver polls? I now need to go write four chapters back to back. I'll try... I'm not the best at focusing on one story but I'll probably manage.

My birthday's coming up. I feel so goddamn old now. Gimme your favorite hotpot ingredients.

Quetzalcoatl

As always, Tianyu remained the most unusual Campione. He slew me when I descended to the mortal plane as a heretic god. That was nearly ninety years ago. He usurped my dominion over the wind and when I reformed in the Netherworld a decade later, he sought me out.

Rather than looking to face me again while I was weakened, he sought to return my conch to me. He then challenged me to “a proper fight,” one in w...

As I’d told myself, I skipped school today. It felt weird. As much as I bitched and moaned about the evils of government-mandated education past the age of thirteen or so, I was a fairly good student. Not top of the class maybe, but I did get into Arcadia via a writing scholarship.

Then again, if there ever was a g...

You’re allowed to have political opinions, but please don’t make it someone else’s business unless you’re asked. Also, @everyone has been disabled in Discord because the general public cannot be trusted with such mystical power apparently.

Saturday morning, I allowed myself a light breakfast before visiting Madam Pomfrey. I was physically fine, but she still insisted on a regular examination anyway.

After that, I opted to ignore the quidditch game. No matter who won, it wasn’t any of my business. I could go, pretend I gave a damn and used it as a networking opportunity in which I had a captive au...

Another quick call later and I rolled into Wyatt Hall as an Alolan sandshrew. At this point, the university was so used to my antics that most people only acknowledged my existence long enough to avoid stepping on the obese roly-poly that I’d become.

I heard that Lisa was already here with Sabah. Despite not being a student, the ...

I pointed the cops towards the Undersiders as the PRT arrived. It seemed that no matter the setting, cops arriving too late to the party was a damn near universal constant.

I smiled sardonically as Armsmaster drove over. He cut an imposing figure in all his several feet of cobalt-blue power armor. He stepped off the bike and pulled out his halberd but kept the point aimed down...

A storm of emotions raged inside me as I looked down at Cherie Vasil. She was a pitiful creature. She was petty and selfish, cruel and vindictive. Beneath her pretty face, she possessed many traits I detested in people.

Most of all, she'd crossed the line. Family meant a great deal to me. Whether my team or the children I'd taken und...
