The Gamer Chapter 1129 – Back in Black 12 – If there must be war, let it be small and swift

“Three battles,” John suggested.

“Agreed – and Lethality is to be avoided. Can you bring in your High Fateweaver?” William answered swiftly.

John wondered about that. Trying to fade into pension was still Magoi’s modus operandi and he was likely to try and push this off to his children. “I will have someone with the necessary capabilities.”

“Good. When?”

“As quickly as possible, I’d suggest. I’ll need to bring the Fateweaver and s...

The Gamer Chapter 1128 – Back in Black 11 – Two Prides

As they walked through the mansion, John silently investigated the numerous little tingles triggering his barrier-sensing. Reaching out with his mind was all that he needed to do to that end, given how close he was to the sources. It turned out that the entire estate was filled with small to medium sized barriers. What was inside them was anybody’s guess, but the structure lent itself to increased secrecy and made it difficult for invaders to properly coordinate their efforts. ...

The Gamer Chapter 1127 – Back in Black 10 – Golden Rose

It wasn’t fine or remotely usual form for John to spread his harem between two cars. To his mind, it felt like he was picking favourites, when choosing who got to sit in the vintage car with him. One of the definitive lessons he had learned was that picking favourites in the harem led to unnecessary strife. His Charisma prevented any extreme jealousy or envy from manifesting. Him letting the harem decide among itself who its leader was did aid in keeping even small negative emo...

Lorelei Side Story Chapter 3 - Future Love

The conference room was the heart of the Order of the Golden Rose. An ornate, circular table, fashioned from stone and inlaid with various decorations, all polished and blending into one smooth surface, stood at the centre of it. It was old, having been in possession of the Brightons for several hundred years. The room around it, a hall laid from stone in the style of a luxurious medieval chamber, was not quite as old. Considering that the Brightons had moved to America relativel...

Guidance 12 – To find a teacher

The trio moved out together, but they didn’t stay together.

They reached the training place for Rogues first. It may have been a bit odd to have a school for a Class with that particular title out in the open, but everyone knew that adventurers had to employ their services sometimes. Additionally, the large, windowless block of a building was dedicated more to the martial arts of the Class, than it was to the underhanded skills of lockpicking and sneaking.

Reysha en...

Lorelei Side Story Chapter 2 - Present Honour

Lorelei sat on top of the ship’s deck and gazed out into the world.

For a lack of Fateweavers, their golden vessel was drifting through the river in the mundane world, rather than its own little pocket dimension. Enchantments made it appear like a regular, if highly luxurious, boat that sailed up the navigable river.

Had they been in a Mobile Barrier, Lorelei’s vision would have ended at the wall of divine energy that separated the isolation demanded and provided ...

Lorelei Side Story Chapter 1 - Past Duty

The Order of the Golden Rose was an old organization. It wasn’t as ancient as some other guilds in the Abyss, but it had amassed enough history and traditions to be respected. As an order in the service of the one and only Lady, their hierarchy had been strict from the start and only consolidated further as time continued. Every man and woman had to understand their station and that station’s significance in the grand structure of the Order of the Golden Rose to ensure its su...

The Gamer Chapter 1126 – Back in Black 9 – The Eventless Day

By the time they were back at the bus, John was fully restored. He didn’t feel any better or worse than before. There was a distant sense of something good having happened. It was an emotional release that had been necessary, although he had no idea why or in what way.

He hung out with his haremettes for a couple of hours, unwilling to commit to anything that would take a long time before Eliana got back. She did turn up by the bus eventually, having walked all the way ba...

The Gamer Chapter 1125 – Back in Black 8 – in the back of a Cadillac

Eliana waved at them one last time from the steps of the train station before forcing herself to turn around. The moment she could no longer see them, John smacked his head against the thin ring of the vintage car’s steering wheel. “Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh,” he half-sighed, half-screamed, minding his volume in case the pretty little psycho’s absurd senses could still pick up his louder words.

“Worried?” Rave asked from the backseat, where she cuddled with Aclysia.

The Gamer Chapter 1124 – Back in Black 7 – Wentworth

Ashcroft was a prestigious private school and the primary preparation place for local rich kids for university. Consequently, the fenced-off grounds of the institution were in pristine condition, from the plants that covered swathes of the courtyards, to the condition of the flagpoles, the flags themselves, the walls of the multi-story building complex, all the way to the polished state of the windows. All of it was as flawless as the tuition fee would indicate. Only reason why J...

Guidance 11 – Their own walls

“No,” Aclysia asserted.

“Absolutely not,” Aclysia insisted.

“This is not negotiable,” Aclysia stated.

“By the gods, impossible!” Aclysia cried out.

“Inconceivable,” Aclysia shook her head.

“No,” she said.

“No.”

“No.”

“No.”

“N-“

“We get it!” Reysha shouted and slammed her palm against the wall of the abandoned house. The force of her frustration was enough to shatter the weather...

Guidance 10 – Shores of Weststir

“Fucking Hellroots, how are you still standing?” Joey asked Apexus. They had made it beyond the rough areas of the storm and were now in a merely unruly sea, allowing everyone to collapse against one of the walls. Apexus was one of two people still standing.

The other one was Korith and she was closer to the sailors than Apexus in terms of exhaustion. The kobold was leaning against him for support. Even though she was still standing, getting through the storm had taken ...

The Gamer Chapter 1123 – Back in Black 6 – Lovely Memories

“And this is where a woman first touched my dick,” John said and gestured at a stone that stuck out of the ground, peaking at sitting height. The forest they were in wasn’t particularly dense and the sun was slowly setting, putting the mix of trees and the ground in a somewhat romantic light.

“Did you have to word it that way?” Momo asked.

“Quick, take pictures for the history book!” Lee added to the sass and clicked her tongue in an attempt to mimic cam...

The Gamer Chapter 1122 – Back in Black 5 – Driving around the city

They visited a couple of places, going somewhat chronologically. The day care John had been in, his elementary, middle, and then high school. None of them were particularly exciting places and the students inside them were staying inside because of the weather. Had he been on his own, he would have followed suit and retreated to whatever indoors were available to him to do something more fun. However, the enthusiasm his women had for his past kept him energized.

Halfway thr...

Guidance 9 – Games and Travel

“What games do you know, Apex?” Korith asked. The tone of her question was mildly exasperated. During the past three days, she had come to understand three main negative traits about the party: Aclysia was dense, Reysha was horny, and Apexus was weird. Korith knew that she was throwing stones in a glass house, but the humanoid slime could be incredibly awkward.

On the first day she had been nice and patient, explaining the rules to even the most common games. She had tr...

The Gamer Chapter 1121 – Back in Black 4 – Driving home

They parked in the outskirts of the city. Springfield was one of the rare type two Abyssal cities in the centre of the USA. Even when he had just been randomly wandering around, with nothing but some basic infamy as a local upstart to his name, he had run into Illusion Barriers owned by small guilds, locals, or international organizations here and there. Driving through with a Mobile Barrier would doubtlessly reveal more. He didn’t want that. In case negotiations with the Golde...

Guidance 8 – Impossible Attraction

‘Hamena, hamena, hamena,’ Korith was still chanting in her head, eyes glued to the hunk of manmeat. His black hair waved in the salty sea breeze, his muscles shifted visibly under the robe, his emerald wings elegantly folded, underlining nicely the sheer weight his bare feet carried over the deck. ‘He looks like he was crafted to look perfect,’ the kobold thought. She had no idea how right she was.

“Could have warned me that your friend is oversized!” Joey shout...

Guidance 7 – For the Hoard

Korith sat on a crate.

Getting on top of the wooden box had been a task of great difficulty, involving the smaller box that was next to the one she had placed her butt on. As a kobold, she was among the shorter humanoid races in the Omniverse and among them, she was of a fairly standard height, standing at 106 centimetres.

Like all kobolds she had a tail, resembling that of a lizard, flopping lazily behind her. She also had scales, red in colour, that covered her feet...

The Gamer Chapter 1120 – Back in Black 3 – Country Roads

“Let go!” John demanded, fighting with Velka over the remote. The problem was less overpowering the Magryph than doing so in a way that didn’t tear a button off the surface. Not only did John hate buying new things unnecessarily, making the avoidable destruction of the remote a sin, but it was also a horrible dietary choice for Velka.

They continued to tug at the piece of plastic for a little while longer, until John finally resigned himself to a workaround. Using Int...

Guidance 6 – Westwards

Reysha would have preferred to travel on foot, but time was valuable and it was easier to avoid settlements when taking the air route. While they did not know how exactly the Deathhound located their trail, they were certain that he did follow it exactly as it was laid. That meant that a mere hundred metre curve around a cluster of houses reduced the chance of anyone in that area dying considerably.

In their current position, this was as much good as they could do. It wasn�...

The Gamer Chapter 1119 – Back in Black 2 – Compliment Torture

The bus trucked along inside the Mobile Barrier. It was deeply necessary that they moved inside one, in this specific case, as there was no way any police officer would have let the makeshift combination of a bus and a car transport trailer go anywhere. Combined, the two were longer than the trucks used to lug containers across states and even less manoeuvrable.

Which was also why avoiding traffic was incredibly valuable. The size of the bus meant that they could completely...

Guidance 5 – The Leaf of Tacuitos

“That sounds tasty!” Reysha shouted from the walled off bathing segment, upon hearing the name of the Leaf they were on.

“Why would it sound tasty?” Apexus wondered.

Before she answered, Reysha lowered herself into the bath. The sounds of swishing water and a long, satisfied sigh echoed out. Recken shifted uncomfortably, the sensuousness with which  the tiger girl purred causing a wholly natural and, for the situation, inappropriate reaction.

“On ...

Guidance 4 – Better lands

The tree had a name.

It was written in crystal clear letters, the common letters which  were, with localized differences, used in the entire Omniverse, on black stone that was embedded into the yellow-green grass. It was the only rock larger than a grain of sand, on the entire island. An island large enough that it would have taken a grown man of average physique an entire day to wander from one end to the other.

The tree’s name was Dave.

Despite being th...

Guidance 3 – Marching Discussions

“Ya know what? I’m gonna do it,” Reysha said, after Apexus and Aclysia landed next to her.

“Do what?” Apexus asked.

“Complain.” The tiger girl ran a hand through her red hair. She had picked up the habit over the past few days to keep her hair from matting. Thanks to her particular species, it was a minor issue for her but it was still something she had to counteract if she wanted to look the sexy variety of feral. “And I don’t mean that imma whine a...

Guidance 2 – What counts as a person?

The crackling of the fire had a calming influence on Reysha’s mind. In the steady waving and flickering of the flame, she reflected her own being. On an improvised wooden skewer were several pieces of meat, gradually getting cooked to the core. She had gotten hungry again and Apexus had found another, albeit smaller, member of the species to haul back for them. After eating her initial fill, she had decided that she wanted to see what would happen if she grilled it. Never in th...

Guidance 1 – Hunger in Gold

They were not doing well.

They had been on the seas for two and a half days. The water was empty, no land in sight, and the only living creatures they had spotted had been birds too small to be worth the attempt to catch them, fish in the same category, and a single whale that had the complete opposite issue.

Still, dehydrated and starving, Apexus rowed on. He had to keep rowing. Reysha looked too delicious, in ways he was not comfortable with, to allow himself an uno...

The Gamer Chapter 1118 – Back in Black 1 – Travel Preparation

“Little bit more… little bit more….” Gnome kept waving John along, as he carefully stepped on the gas pedestal. The engine of the car purred quietly, a noticeable difference to how the original 1965 Cadillac it was inspired by would have sounded like. When a car wasn’t available for purchase and magical retrofitting, having a smith that specialized in re-making the outer appearance of vehicles was the best alternative one could go for.

The custom-made hull stayed ...

Season 3 Prologue – Forwards

Apexus slowly checked every part of his body, internal and external. The position of his fingers. Small displacements of muscles and bones due to stressed regeneration. Whether his skin was still of human quality. The state of his scalp, entirely hairless after he ejected the sorry remains still there.

What was out of place, he carefully nudged back into its optimal position. There were few flaws even worth the effort and none that had truly hindered him. A much larger issu...

Beatrice Emoji Commission Done

The job of a sass-delivery maid is not easy.

The Gamer Chapter 1117 – Man Date

“Did she just steal your date, buddy?” John asked.

“Did she just leave you for my date, buddy?” Maximillian questioned at the exact same moment.

Both of them remained stunned for two seconds longer, then they started laughing. The whole situation was just ridiculous. The one who had wanted the double date had just destroyed the entire premise.

“Think she planned that?” the gravity mage wanted to know.

“Jane? No, no, she didn’t. She didn’t...
