Aliande arranged their passage swiftly. It was not difficult to find one. Stallious and Finaven were in regular contact with each other. It was just a few days by sea and the loot the Level 75 Warrior gathered from the Necro Lord’s Crypt was more than worth the 3-day journey. In return, Finaven sold passages and fish.
It’s name was a simple abbreviation of Final Haven. As a settlement, it was entirely focused around the fishing and the adventuring industry. It was the third l...

John Tebbles would have described himself as a fairly regular Abyssal.
He was born, 32 years ago, to two Abyssal parents. His parents had their issues, but they stuck together. They were part of a guild local to New York City, a small one that acted as a contractor to Bearings. That they worked for scum was well known. That was just what one had to do to in the Abyss.
One time, the family of five, John had two younger brothers, had attempted to turn to the mundane side of t...

The Celestial Devourer broke through the surface. A cosmic crocodile, a water dragon of the universe limited to the space within the overlapping Protected Space. Next to Tiamat’s filth, Stirwin looked twice as magnificent, gold-scaled, silver-bellied, and equipped with gargantuan teeth. A long front leg grabbed Tiamat by the throat, only for the two titanic dragons to lock jaws. Corrupted water spewed from one side, solar plasma from the other, and the resulting steam explosion force...

“Izha was sighted in Los Angeles,” John informed everyone. Eliana and Aclysia had just linked up with the Creator Puppet, giving him the report there. For the most part, the Harem Comms were back online. They blacked out for minutes or hours at a time. Either Izha was messing with him or his part in the coordination of the Lorylim attacks took too much out of him to retain the necessary pressure.
Other communication systems suffered in similar ways. Just about any long range ...

‘Don’t fuck it up.’
That was the singular thought on Eliana’s mind. A laser precision that guided her footfalls when she stepped through the rift in space Lee had made for them. They were the last party to deploy and they were trusted with the territory furthest away from it all.
Lu Zhi had pledged them her aid. She hadn’t yet mobilized her people when she had sent that message, but she had pledged it all the same. She would need a safe spot to land, both by air a...

“Alright, I’ll head back before I get stuck here,” Lee said. “Good luck.”
“Be well,” Nightingale said, pressing a kiss on the cheek of the youngest member of the harem. Scarlett could not muster such an emotional response. She was too busy scanning the perimeter.

Upon the Dragon Throne, the Heavenly Jade Empress dwelled. A flowing dress flowed from her, the smooth satin shimmering in the light of the nine large candles that had been ignited around her to pray for her longevity and the eternity of the Middle Empire. Over the white of her dress, scrolls of other fabrics had been unfurled, on them painted the rivers of the land and the mountains of the domain.
Lu Zhi’s eyes were closed. The lids had been painted red and green. Pale was the...

The centre of the gargantuan structure was a confusing web of randomly assorted rooms, walls of uneven thickness, and staircases. The Death Knight followed a path only it knew, the four members of the party behind it.
A large chamber with an empty pool laid before a massive archway. The edges of the gate were broken, the hinges ripped out, the door itself long removed. Behind was a vast throne room. Eight pillars on each side rose a royal purple from a gleaming floor of polished,...

John wasn’t even in his original body at the moment and he still felt the weight of the crown on his head. It added to the responsibilities already on his shoulders, pressing down on him like he was a mile undersea. ‘Not a healthy state of being,’ he analysed himself drily.
He stepped out of the teleporter in Miami. Immediately he was met by the iron stench of blood, mixing with the peculiar scent of Lorylim, mouldy, wet, and sticky, like evaporating meat. A metaphor that m...

Lucifrena landed in a cascade of feathers. Quills turned to light turned to lances, piercing the black hearts of the horrific, Lorylim-corrupted elemental that she had fought her way through. “I will pray for your peace,” she whispered, putting a hand on the disarranged face that sat between the six torn heart muscles.
One of the eyes was closed, the other stared at her. The emotion within was enigmatic. Did it hate her, did it not care or was it thankful? It mattered not, Lu...

From the moment she had stepped through the teleporter, she had been in the battle.
Gargantuan plants with teeth were crunching down on Order soldiers. Enchanted armour kept many alive, but some were not so lucky. Flying axes of fire hammered against William’s sword, each driving him back. A few metres away, Moira stood surrounded by magical circles.
Nahoa recognized all three of these spells and the three Lorylim corrupted individuals that were responsible for them. “O...

It had been so wonderful.
“I’m not too much of a fan that you were a visitor in my private quarters frequently, without my knowing,” John had said to her, “but I thank you for helping me.”
“N-n-n-n-no problem!” Layla had stammered at the camera. Her thighs had been clenching the entire time. She would have said a thousand things she needed him to hear, had it not been for the pleasure coursing through her. They were on entirely different ends of the ship, talk...

They spent a single night in the reward room, before finding themselves back in the desert. From there, it was a simple journey continuing on from where they had left of. Over yellow dunes and past red sunsets, until the next milestone of their journey came into sight.
“Remember, we do not venture any further southward that we need to,” Aclysia told all of them on the morning of the final stretch.
“We know, we are not suicidal,” Reysha responded, tugging at her coll...

Metra sat in her alcove.
It was a comfortable thing. Each of them was that way. A singular seat stood by the edge of the stone palisade that separated her from the wider throne room. Thick curtains were bunched and tied to either side, framing the ornately carved stone with cloth of lead grey, mud brown, and gold. The colours repeated on the painted plaster of the walls. Each of the alcoves had their own set of colours, two or three each, representing each individual haremette.

John walked.
It was a luxury he afforded himself. Every minute was precious, he knew that, but his mind was so taut that he felt like he would rupture if he did not do this. His second body was inactive. Business was being handled by Momo and Scarlett. This was one of the most, perhaps the most, important discussions he would have in his life. He did not need any more distractions than his own mind imposed on him.
A corridor of Sentinel Golems assured no one approached him....

John was putting on a strong front. He was content he could do that much. Inside himself, he continued to feel… tossed up.
After remaining on that bathroom floor for several minutes, he had removed the bodies of his parents. To place them into his inventory had felt horrid. To have them scanned for any traces of Lorylim matter once he was out of dodge was something he had not been able to witness. Aclysia had taken over for him. Once it was certain that his parents were not use...

“Lee, can you hear me?”
The young Fateweaver’s eyelids fluttered open. Exhaustion from constant mana use filled her with a kind of fatigue that was similar and yet entirely different to burning too much energy. She felt languid, so much so that her arms were too heavy to lift. “Dad?” she muttered, eyes fixating on the screen held in front of her.
So close, the phone display filled her entire field of view. She saw her parents seated on a bench on a porch somewhere...

Scarlett could see them now.
The projectiles that had ripped off her ear, her thumb and her biceps were launched by cavities in the hands of the two Metracanas of Hatred. Sensory data provided by the ear replacements and attached neural implants helped, but it was her eyes themselves that could perceive it now. The currents tingling through her, mana and electricity, uplifted her into a previously unachievable level of perception.
Claws glowed red hot, their temperature spi...

Seven chests.
An incredible number for any adventurer, struggling or not. An adventurer deemed themselves lucky when a Dungeon dive lead to them receiving more than one by the end. The Inevitable party had a pretty lucky career in that regard, primarily because they went to rarely frequented Dungeons that had a boss waiting at the end.
That they were truly the first ones to clear this one was evident by the layout of their rewards. Six of the chests were spaced out around t...

Scarlett adjusted the code as the machine closed around her. Everything went black. Machines did not need light, only diagnostic programs. Hatches in the walls opened loudly, allowing clamps on robotic tendrils to find proper latching points. Metal closed around her limbs, pulling her into the code-confirming position.
The darkness inside was interrupted for a brief second by the green and red flashes of lasers painting a grid over her. Main routines identified her suit as an obs...

Manifold preparations were in place for a variety of circumstances. The few reports John had gotten so far made clear that many of those preparations had been circumnavigated or subverted by the Lorylim. While the Lorylim’s intel gathering and coordination was greater than anything John could field, they were still bound by some constraints.
One of them appeared to be a lack of powerful Fateweavers. The Protected Space that Lee had put up in the DC area, near the White House, w...

“Front door security is dead. A Lorylim took the shape of a little girl, ate them, and has now breached the skyscraper.”

“The robots aren’t as versatile,” Scarlett shot back. “Takes a human brain to properly navigate all situations.” The point was made while she activated...
