[Dungeon of Stories] 44 – The Portal

Kohl watched as the relatively low-level Machines easily steamrolled through the NCR and House's securitrons. At the same time, another unit did the same with the fiends that built a makeshift fortress around a Vault. Still, these three machines were mere distractions. Kohl had a more important goal before the Humans would destroy the machines and begin searching for their origin, eventually finding the portal.

The fourth and last [Corrupted Defense Unit] rolled north, heading for a Vau...

[Rise of a Fallout Star] 3 – First Contract Part 2

Every day for two weeks, I had John come into my workshop where I hooked him up to a machine that scanned both his brain and the damaged nerves of his arm. In the meantime, I also used what remained of my funds to get the medicine, utinicles, and a room furnished for surgery.

I also had to purchase custom-made tools and a few machines for John's surgery to get his new Prosthetic Arm installed. John was not only getting paid to be the Patient for this Prototype, but with his experience i...

[Shattered Soul] 12 – Troubles with the Colony

Down below the Zhu's Hope, Garrus and Ashley were not having a good time. With their standing orders to help the colony, Fai Dan asked the duo to venture down into the tunnels not far from the colony to gather some meat by hunting a pack of local Varren, where they also found an intact power core from a crashed Mako, which helped with the Colony's power needs, they were then sent down to Geth infested tunnels to fix the piping that supplied the colony the majority of its water.

The prob...

[Multiversal Empire] 6 – Evolution of the Swarm

As one may expect, using organic material to try to reach space proved quite bothersome. The first six Zerg probes I tried to send out into space burned up in the atmosphere or exploded. 

At this point, I had the morphing of these probes automated, the process fast enough for me to launch a new probe each week at my current pace, but I was having difficulty adapting the probes to survive such harsh conditions. I couldn't morph on more layers of chitinous plating; otherwise, it woul...

[Cafe] 120 – Adventures of Benjamin Grimm Part 2

Two weeks is how long Ben has found himself stuck with the much older and more grimm Susan in the post-apocalyptic hell of this version of Earth. While the surface was not as irradiated as Ben expected, due to the advancement in cleaner nuclear bombs, the surface was still not livable by any standards.

The sky and air were choked by thick ash and dust, and the temperatures above, even during the day, were below freezing. Through sheer ingenuity, luck, and perseverance, Susan had lasted ...

[Nevermore] 5 – Never-ending nightmares

[YOU HAVE DIED]

With a start, I jumped to my feet, my heart racing, and the horrifying pain I felt moments before faded away as if it had never been there. My eyes swiveled to my surroundings as if expecting a sudden attack from an unknown enemy. Once I took a moment to calm down, I groaned, grasping my chest and feeling my heart thump with a swift tempo.

Deluding myself into thinking it was just a nightmare, I slowly began to calm down before I gr...

[Avatar of the Force] 10 – Shadows

[Force Specter - Level: ???]

This...glowing red ghost bore an armored robe and a strange mask that swiveled to my person. Its baleful red eyes scanned over my being, and before I could react, the specter collapsed into dust and appeared behind me, its hand sliding up my shoulder where I felt its fingers grasp my throat.

"So... pure," it spoke, disgust clear in its tone.

"Tell me...why did you come here, Jedi?" It spoke, hatred e...

[Multiversal Emipre] 5 – Crèche

[Twenty Years Later, Crèche, Zerg Home System]

A planet, once covered in sparse flora and a planet-wide city, has changed drastically in twenty years. Flora now encases the world and city, covering everything in dense foliage and the unique flora of the planet. The atmosphere has thickened, trapping more heat. With its rich plant life, it has also increased oxygen and CO2 levels massively, allowing life on the planet to grow to gigantic sizes.

Sizes that led many of the Primal Ze...

[Cafe] 119 – Adventures of Benjamin Grimm and Earth !@#!%%

Visions of the past, present, and future flashed before Ben's eyes. In opening his mind to the greater universe around him, he saw and experienced so much that his mortal mind nearly went comatose from the overwhelming information and visions that flooded his mind. Most others, if put in his position, would have found themselves experiencing epileptic seizures, brain hemeraging, and the unfortunate case of instant death, but Ben's mind, seemingly shielded itself from the onsought of endless i...

[Dungeon of Stories] 43 – The Mojave under attack

In the dead of the night, in an open field north of the Sunset  Sasparila Headquarters in fiend territory, the very air began to shake and vibrate, as if the very air was quaking from an unseen force. Then, with a flash of golden light, a small thread of energy tore into reality, cracking with the sound of thunder. This thread slowly started expanding, revealing a swirling vortex of energy. 

It was so loud that everything within a few miles of the portal would have heard its o...

[Bringing Life] 1 – An Oasis in the Mojave Wasteland

[A/N: Decided to do a rewrite of this, enjoy. Don't expect fast updates]

Vault 22, one of six vaults constructed by Vault-Tech in the Mojave Desert in and around the famous city of sin, Las Vegas. Vault 22's was the only vault in the region that would not house a civilian population, instead it was to be inhabitated by scientists and their family, with the Vault's sole purpose to be combating world hunger, as food and plant life would likely be a rarity or so irradiated that it would no...

[Rise of a Fallout Star] 2 – First Contract

It took a wholenother month, a tiresome month, to get a patient for the cyberlimbs and to bribe my way into getting a medical license, and with my inherited skills, I already had the skill of a doctor and a Ripperdoc, so it wouldn't be hard to keep my license, so long as no one went digging very far into said license. As for my first patient, I found him by sheer luck, stumbling upon him in a grocery store when I went out to get some food.

Though it had been a month since I fir...

[Cafe] 118 – A Space Marine Part 3 (Finale)

Up above the Hoover Dam, Joshua watched as the past representation of himself at the head of Caesar's Legion stormed past the gates of the Dam, following behind the sheer destruction caused by Artor. The superhuman was a beast on the battlefield, cleaving through even the thickest of armor used by the NCR like a knife through brahmin cheese. Everything they threw at Artor did nothing to impede his charge, dozens of rounds from the standard Service Rifles the NCR grunts used, the Anti-material...

[Shattered Soul] 11 – Feros Part 4

"Tali. I am not the Geth. Please stop judging me based on your preconceived notions about AI," Church interrupted her before she could speak further, getting tired of her bullshit the more she talked.

Tali glared at Church from under her helmet.

“Church,” Shepherd spoke up, his voice utterly calm and collected despite the battle not even a few minutes ago.

“One second, I think I found the problem,” with a green flash over his figure, Church�...

[Cafe] 117 – A Space Marine Part 2

Joshua, the Malpais Legate of Caeser's Legion, watched as Edward's supposed 'game' changer stripped himself down to his briefs, setting his armor and axe to the side and stood at the center of the makeshift arena that was built at the center of the camp, just before the main tent. In this arena, many Veterans, Legion Recruits, and auxiliaries challenged one another, sparred, or trained, so with the man's arrival, many eyes lay on the towering man.

Joshua observed the countless scars the...

[Fallout Star] 1 – Small Beginnings

[Synopsis - At the ripe age of 18 and fresh out of college, one Arthur Karstein found himself thrust into the Corporate World of Fallout seven years before the Great War with the miraculous power of Inspired Inventor. Will he survive the Nuclear hellfire to come, or will he be taken out long before the Nuclear bombs touch the ground?]

[Cafe] 116 – A Space Marine Part 1

[A/N:: Got into the grove as I started writing this chapter, got it done in like two hours, music blasting in my ears to make my heart race]

As soon as the simulation started, Joshua began to back away.

"Your objective? Conquer the Dam," Joshua informed the Space Marine before being whisked away to a simulation of Caeser's Camp where Joshua could watch the battle unfold through a holographic screen that appeared before him, show casing the Marine as he appeared in the middle of Ca...

[Cafe] 115 – The Lord’s Work Must Be Done

With the completion of the Tournament, Zerref faced a rising tide of new customers, and he was not alone. Joshua was facing dozens of people every hour seeking to be trained. Many Joshua denied, but a few, Joshua felt a certain...pull from them, as if they were important pieces for the future.

Joshua, as the honorable teacher he was, gave them what they asked for: training. The men and women who undertook Joshua's training soon fou...

[Multiversal Empire] 4 – ‘Home’ for the Foreseeable Future

Two more months have passed, and my Swarm has only continued to grow. I had assimilated the essence of all of the local Fauna that could be found on this planet, and with that, my Zerg had begun to stagnate. I needed more essence and Zerg Strains, and only one idea came to mind. The Primal Zerg, ever-evolving on their home planet and consuming each other, the strongest of the Primal Zerg, becoming Ancient in age and reaching a power so vast that they had given...

[A Lamb Freed] 7 – Prep Work

[Booker DeWitt's POV]

'Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt!' A phantom voice lingered in my mind as I cautiously walked out of the small building Elizabeth decided to make into a FOB. I did not know what I was expecting when I first saw Columbia, but not this. Elizabeth, if that is even her realm name, was not human. No human could do what she did, even with Vigors, as they liked to call them here in Columbus.

With a mental command, my lef...

[Dungeon of Stories] 42 – New World and Visions past the Fog Wall

You would think casting a 'hook' out through the void and attempting to form a tether with another realm would be easy due to the sheer infinite amount of realms, but the void still had much more space than the occasional bubble holding a realm. Just as the ocean had trillions, if not countless more fish, it did not mean a fisherman was guaranteed to catch something even after days of trying to catch a fish.

Kohl lacked a 'lure' to his hook, more for safety reasons than an...

[Multiversal Empire] 3 – Growth and Complications

A month has passed since my awakening on this planet, and it has become increasingly clear that this planet was an Ecumenopolis, a planet-wide city covering the surface of this planet. Another example of an Ecumenopolis I knew of was Coruscant from Star Wars. However, Coruscant was a far more developed Ecumenopolis than this planet, as the city did not pierce very far below the planet's surface.

Since the time the Protheans existed, the entire planet has seemingly been taken ov...

[Cafe] 114 – Tournament Arc Over

[Benjamin Grimm's POV]

I had only discovered the Cafe through the news two weeks ago, and I do not regret taking the risk of going into Hell's Kitchen to see if it was real, and by God, it was real. I tried getting my friend Reed to come with me to the store multiple times, but he was too focused on his new 'project' and called the Cafe a fake. He didn't see, so I didn't blame him for not understanding the miracle that was the 'New World Cafe' and its supernatural owner, but pa...

[Nevermore] 4 – The second dream

I kept up the pace through the rest of the day. Unfortunately, I was attacked two more times by Beowolves before the night arose. I knew that I would get attacked by Grimm on my journey to Beacon, but I did not expect to get attacked so frequently.

At this rate, I'd have to fight through an entire Grimm Horde before I reach Beacon...

With the sun going down and the broken moon of Remnant rising, I made camp, keeping my sword close to me in case the Grimm attacked me tonight, ate m...

[Cafe] 113 – Finale of the Tournament and Revelation of the first Champion

With each passing hour, the players were forced closer and closer to the surface. The tunnel leading to the surface was a full-blown warzone, as people shot at each other, struck when they saw weakness and fortified their positions.

By the 12th day, those that remained were constricted to the tunnel and surface. Those who proved to be weak were overtaken by those who lay in wait outside the tunnel until they were forced to enter, with figures such as Bloody Fist being able to avoid much...

[Last Hope] 15 – We do a little trolling

Another week passed, and by then, I had the beginnings of something that took a painstaking amount of effort to create and get working on the shitty Terminals available in the Institute. After hours of trial and error, I managed to make the first DOOM game—the 2D one with the Doomguy and terrible graphics. At first, I wanted to make some kind of strategy game to appease my boredom, but then, about halfway through, I had a brilliant idea, one that would add a flare of chaos into the Institut...
