The Augur of Dunlain. Once a man, he is now a magical anomaly of tremendous power. It had no 'humanity'. It was a shadow of its former self, instead becoming something much greater in exchange. The Augur was completely neutral, its intentions and motives unknowable. Why did it want knowledge from Earth? I did not know. Perhaps it merely sought information for trade later on, as it has with all the information it had gained so far throughout its existence, having learned nearly every secret, r...

As Harley and her compatriots fought through the ancient Nordic tomb, Ustengrav crawled with mages and Draugr, and the walking undead corpses of Ancient Nordic warriors were entombed within, but despite all of the dangers of the Nordic Tomb, including Draugr capable of using the Thu'um and mages capable of potent or annoying forms of magic. However, the worst by far still ended with it being Skeevers, rather large rat-like creatures that carry all sorts of nasty diseases that always ended wit...

Deep within a foggy and creepy forest, a long table covered in cheese, delicious food, and beautiful treats could be seen, while a middle-aged man in a strangely colorful outfit reminiscing what a jester would wear. Laughing like a madman, the crazy, colorful man shouted, "I haven't had so much fun with a mortal like yourself since dear old Pelagius!"
The creepy thing about it was that his fingers tapped on a pristine human skull while stating that.

As it turns out when one's brain rivals that of a computer in terms of information and data processing and comprehension, learning becomes nearly irrelevant, limited by only one's own mind. The brain was already essentially a bio-computer; the only difference was that my brain was made more...efficient. I still had emotions; it was easy to overshadow them with logic if needed.
So when the day came when my class took their final exams, I was not nervous in the slightest. Instead, I...

As the night passed and the next day arose, Zerref wondered how Logan was doing after the revelation. Sure, Charles could do some good, but that does not mean everything he has done can be condoned. For Christ's sake, he was the strongest telepath on the planet outside of Jean Gray or the Martians, but what has he used his power for? He had many chances to stop or influence his old friend Magento, but he did not. The same goes for many other situations; he has...

As we gathered before our Mother clan Teacher with our Weapons Master by her side, I looked around at my group, noticing that we had lost a few Brothers over the course of the past few years of our training. I wasn’t surprised, of course, due to how dangerous the life of a Yautja was. However, I was disappointed. The way they tried to train us wasted our potential. If we each had a master's or individual training where we didn't endlessly spar against each other with little advice, forcing ...

With Hank unconscious and the Professor in a Coma, Logan had to decide. At the moment, the Professor was lying in a bed in Hank’s lab, just in the corner; Hank, while a scientist, was also the school’s doctor, so Logan knew he had to make a decision fast before someone came down looking for Hank.
Silently cursing, he rolled Hank to the corner of the room where it would be hard to see him and taped him and his chair onto the wall. This added an extra layer of protection against Hank ...

It took nearly all day to finish up the eight bandit bounties and bring back anything valuable or worthwhile to the Jarl, but at least the hold had some gold that would flow into its coffers. I brought back multiple sets of iron armor, a rather large amount of weapons and arrows, gold, and gems, and I even managed to get my hands on a few soul gems. The equipment, barring a steel dagger I kept for myself, I gave to the Jarl as 'tribute' and the locations of the hideouts of these bandits. Each...

"Just because Krogan can survive in a vacuum does not mean you shouldn't wear the proper equipment," Garus replied to Wrex.

Whoever or whatever it was managed to scan most of Joshua's memories before I kicked them out, that means they know what ...

A week later, Kohl found himself proficiently prepared as he added another monster spawner to each biome, bringing the total to twelve. Already, the number of monsters inhabiting the biomes had increased twofold, and the human explorer parties noticed. The humans began growing concerned by the increasing number and strength of the monsters.
Though the rise of the monster's numbers was noticeable, it wasn't as much as it could be, as t...

Before I realized it, an entire month had passed in the blink of an eye as Allen and I worked on the next-gen computer, and I leveled up twice during this time. When I first leveled up, I placed all fifteen points into Computers, raising it to near max, at 95 points of 100. At this point, the knowledge I was getting from the skill showed me many of the most advanced computers available in the Fallout world, which only proved to help us design a better computer. As for the perk I chose, it was...

Swamp Thing stood, rooted within the lower levels of a Green Vault, hidden underground beneath Gotham itself. This vault was constructed from the combined effort of Ivy, Swamp Thing, and the Green. It was a gigantic series of chambers constructed out of specialized roots that would block out radiation. It was one of dozens Ivy and Swamp Thing had planned for construction and would act as underground ecosystems where they’d gather many species of animals to evolve and live naturally, unbothe...

My eyes took in the state of my room as blood covered the sheets of my bed and the queen-sized mattress underneath it.

Once I was dressed, I shakenly grabbed the sheets off my ...

Rolling back to the elevator and soon returning to his office, Charles was left with a troubled mind after what Hank revealed to him. Charles knew that Logan was not as strong as he was in his prime, but he figured that was because of age, not metal poisoning. Hank and Charles theorized that Logan's mutation gave him an enhanced lifespan, a healing factor, and the claws he was famous for. Logan was born in the early 1880s, for goodness sake, and he fought in the Civil War, World War 1 and 2, ...

Shuffling in the forest around a cave, what looked to be several shambling corpses could be seen. These corpses moved around the cave, creating a sort of perimeter where nothing could get through without encountering one of them. Hiding up in the trees, various dead squirrels, birds, and even what looked to be other vermin sat, acting as a sort of surveillance of the perimeter.
Sitting outside the cave, however, were what looked to be multiple racks where meat was being dried and even a...

High atop a mountain sat a monastery hidden by a fierce blizzard. It was built many years ago yet has become home to the last masters of the Voice, the Thu'um. The masters were none other than the Greybeards, all Nords who spent their lives studying and learning the Voice, mastering it. Most of the Greybeards could no longer utter or whisper a word without making the air rubble and the very ground shake.
Wandering blindly through the blizzard and attempting to climb the ten thousa...

A group of pirates was terrorizing the area and using this camp as their staging ground to attack the few caravan groups and ships that traded with Winterhold and the College. These men were those pirates. No fishers or traders in their right minds would build a camp in the tundr...
