Maxwell gloated as Dis called the stars down to Earth.
“Resorting to cheats and hacks, Basil? You should be ashamed of yourself.” Dismaker Labs’ fallen CEO didn’t look too bad for someone who had been beheaded only a few days ago. “As a law-abiding administrator, I can’t let that stand.”
Basil answered by summoning a fire elem...

It could take a lifetime to make friends and an instant to lose them.
Basil had seen many people come and go in his life. His parents, René, childhood companions he lost sight of when he moved to France… The apocalypse only added to this count. Orcine, Kuikui, even Benjamin. Basil would have wished to spend more time with each of them.

The System Apocalypse’s last day started like the first: with an ominous message.
The notification woke Basil up while he was still sleeping with Vasi lightly snoring in his arms. The System Screen was bloody red rather than blue. If Basil didn’t know better, he would take it as a deeply ominous sign.

Fire. Fire and death everywhere. The town was ablaze, giants warred with cats, and Trench Dwarf 3 was digging for his life.
“Keep going!” The brave Cat Archer lived up to his title, firing arrow after arrow at the ever increasing tide of corpses battering their stronghold. “Complete the defensive line or we’re doomed!”

Two armies faced each other on a field of wood and paper.
The B&C board, which spanned thirty tiles per thirty, represented a standard city split by a river. Water separated the northeast corner of the map from the rest with the exception of a large bridge. Thirty forts were spread across the battlefield; the ownership of these logistical keysto...

Sitting atop a pile of rocks, Plato looked up at his best friend with an anxious look.
“What if I turn into an ocelot?” he asked fearfully. “Or a sphynx cat? What if I were to lose my fur?”
“It would be a pretty big letdown,” Basil replied mirthfully.
“But that would make you cuter,” Vasi mused. She giggled when Plato glared back. “I’m...

A tense silence had fallen upon Walter’s shop.
After being forced back into his human form by all the wounds he had taken, Basil gasped for breath in a pool of his own blood. His enemy only had to take a swing at him to finish him off. His health had fallen into the two digits.
Yet Brina did not deliver the coup de grâce. In fact, the valkyrie ...

As warned in the previous general update, I'll be taking a small break next week (from March 13th to the 19th). There won't be chapters for that period.
There are two reasons:
- The first is that I will have family visiting me + other business meetings related to the webtoon project I mentioned a few times, which means less time to write during that period.
- The second, and the most important one, is that the next arc will be Apocalypse Tamer's...

Belphegor choked her through layers of rock and steel.
While she didn’t fit the stereotype of an out-of-shape wizard, Vasi had to admit she was somewhat lacking in the muscle department. She had instinctively grabbed the Horseman of Death’s arm with one hand, but his grip remained too strong for her to overcome. He slammed her throu...

The hall erupted into war and chaos.
Ashok immediately charged at Basil with speed belying his immense size. He swung a fist and attempted to punch the Dragonslayer’s head off.

Maxwell’s laughter echoed in the chamber.
“You should see your faces!” His lips morphed into a terrible grin, revealing three rows of sharp fangs behind the smile. “Oh, my mistake. Here I thought you’d figured out my master plan. Forget what I just said then.”
“No,” Plato deadpanned.

The Bohens had gathered quite the motley crew of allies across their journey. It didn’t occur to Basil just how many until they gathered for a war council.
No tent could hold them all, so they held the meeting on the deck of Cassandra’s ship. General Leblanc, chief commander of the French Armed Forces, was the first to teleport in; hi...

1) Board & Conquest: Undeadtide Edition
Basil Bohen's greatest battle will not be waged on the devastated landscape of Earth, but on a B&C board. Having defied the System's secret superboss to a match for the ultimate prize, he must bring all his wits, grit and overpriced m...

Pericles once said: “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.”
He had missed the mark.
The lives of the ancient Greeks had ended thousands of years ago, yet one couldn’t take two steps into their homeland without stumbling on a monument they’d left behind.

Plato loved hunting things that couldn’t fight back.
Now, common wisdom would think that someone would get bored of the lack of challenge. But Plato was a simple cat with simple tastes. He would have been happy chasing after birds and mice—after napping eighteen hours a day of course—for the rest of his existence.

Behind his counter, Walter Tye stopped counting his coins. “A System parasite?”

It had been a day and a night since the Incursion began.
Greece’s sky remained a shining circuit of golden pathways and eldritch energy. The light did not dim no matter the hour. Day and night alike had lost all meaning.
But it wasn’t the sky above her head that worried Vasi Yaga. It was the ground beneath her feet. It hadn’t stopped sha...

Brina squeezed her sword’s pommel as the elemental continued its report. She had expected this answer when she failed to catch up to the Bohens’ vehicle, but it still frustrated her. “Which direction?”

Brina opened hostilities with a twitch of her hand. “Rain of Swords.”
