Raiden's Storm Chapter 57: Shifting Tides

Outside the tourney grounds, a small army of gold cloaks stood and prevented every marked participant from leaving. Edric walked over after his speech, looking for recognisable dents in armour. During the melee, he let a certain group of suspicious people 'concede' rather than outright killing them.

"Why are you keeping everyone here?" One of the participants questioned. 

"You, you, you and you." Edric moved through the crowd, patting shoulders. "...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 56: The Strongest

Whoosh.

Edric, a swifter warrior, sidestepped Baegel's mace and swiftly countered with a thunderous blow into his side. Baegel, his armour cracking, felt a surging wave of pain. He attempted to retaliate with a flurry of attacks, but Edric evaded them all with his tremendous focus.

Just as Edric was about to reply with an attack, an arrow came straight for his head.

At the last moment, he noticed it and tilted his head to the side, which caused the arrow...

Barbarian's Path To Multiversal Domination Chapter 11: Grace's 'Punishment'

‘What the fuck happened?’

I opened my eyes to chains all over and some blonde woman hitting me with a metal rod. I was still naked. My arms were bound to the walls while my feet were held down by some metal balls. They were decently heavy.

The last thing I remembered was fighting Borgia guards over and over and over again… 

Did I get tired of killing those weeklings and went for a nap?

“You barbarian…” The wo...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 55: Enemy Number One

[Edric’s POV, first]

The qualifications for the melee were a bit looser than before; as long as you met the skill standard of most knights, you were good. This led to there being a good bit over four hundred participants, dwarfing the melee of the Hand’s Tourney by ten times. As such… I made the decision to forbid horses (otherwise, the field would be more clogged than a Taco Bell toilet). It was going to be a brawl that no one could run from. A moshpit,...

Barbarian's Path To Multiversal Domination Chapter 10: The Barbarian

Something felt off...

 As the days went on, Ezio Auditore was nowhere to be seen. Not only that... but all the Assassins senior to Dennis were being killed one after the other - their heads delivered straight to the door of the Tiber Island Hideout. La Volpe, Niccolo Machiavelli, Bartolomeo d'Alviano and several others outside of Rome.

 Before Dennis knew it, half of the Italian Brotherhood looked to him... while the rest saw little hope.

Raiden's Storm Chapter 54: Early Lead

[Edric's POV, first.]

A dragonbone bow was for an archer what valyrian steel was for a swordsman. While not nearly as rare and prestigious as the latter, it wasn't too far off. I imagined I'd have one eventually... either buying it for a steep price, taking it off an enemy or some other means.

But... falling into my lap like this? It was a welcome surprise, to be sure.

"You look very pleased, Your Grace," Rhaerra remarked. "I am most glad."

Raiden's Storm Chapter 53: Birth Of A Myth

The Great Tournament would have seven events in honour of the Seven: archery, throwing, racing, a free-for-all melee, mock team battles, duels between distinguished fighters from the melee, and the joust. Events such as throwing would have multiple competitions, such as light and heavy throwing objects. As for mock team battles, the victorious team would be divided into duellists to decide the grand victor.

Since Edric's vision became far grander than even Harrold Arryn had ever ...

Barbarian's Path To Multiversal Domination Chapter 9: Best Recruiter In Town

Dennis’ mission took him to Moscow to ‘defend a captain’. He took the long way once again, sprinting over there on another absurdly long marathon. Meanwhile, the other assassin recruits benefited from simply teleporting over there. They had even started the mission without him…

When he finally got there, Dennis finally felt at home. It was Mother Russia… and the city he had been born in - only five hundred years early. Though most of the buildings were completely differ...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 52: Oaths And Vows

After entering, Edric exchanged formalities before ascending to the Iron Throne and holding court. Given the number of visitors, there were many highborn seeking an audience with him. Holding court would be a way to handle all of their matters in one session rather than being disturbed later.

First up was Harrold Arryn, who stopped several steps before the bottom of the Iron Throne.

"It is a great honour to be in your presence once more, Your Grace." He bent his knee...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 51: The Silver Dragon

Arianne was certainly dressed for the occasion in a not-so-modest dress that boasted her more alluring features. She held a bottle of wine and two cups, stepping forward with a smile. 

"I hope I did not disturb your rest, Your Grace."

"I won't lie and say you didn't," I remarked, glancing at the wine. "What's the occasion?"

"What is there for a princess to do all alone in a little cabin? I would have died from boredom."

"I'm afraid these cabins didn't come wit...

Little announcement

I added a scene to chapter 46 of Raiden's Storm, which may be a little important (it's 700 words or so, which is about 30-35% of a normal chapter). I should be able to update tomorrow and Sunday as well so that's some good news on top of that.

Raiden's Storm Chapter 50: Fragment Of The Past

I stood in my cabin, twirling my warhammer in the air continuously. The dip in the effectiveness of my magic had been rather noticeable. In Storm’s End, I truly was at my strongest. Not only was Storm Magic more effortless and overall more effective there, but I also recovered faster. This was no doubt due to the natural weather conditions…

Generating enough wind in the cabin to lift the Warhammer and then move it in my desired direction was much more difficult than it sounde...

Barbarian's Path To Multiversal Domination Chapter 8: Two Thousand Years A Borgia Flag Slave

Grace unplugged Elizabeth's headphones and took them off.

"What are you doing?" She questioned, annoyed.

"It's been a while since we spent some time together." Grace smiled, teleporting a chair and sitting on it. "Go on, I'll just watch you."

"... How did you do that? The teleport thingy... and where is your boyfriend?"

"Eh, don't worry about it." She waved her hand. "He went to take a piss and, as for the chair... well, I got magic powers."...

Barbarian's Path To Multiversal Domination Chapter 7: Family

Grace dragged Dennis along to a vast shopping centre, using him to carry her mountain of purchases. By the end, he was pulling ten bags full of clothes, perfumes, jewellery and even food. She hummed peacefully, striding along as if she didn't have a worry in the world. Meanwhile, Dennis' patience was running low. He had spent hours standing around in that god-forsaken mall...

"Grace, how much more shit do you want to buy?" Dennis raised an eyebrow. 

"Aww, is it ...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 49: Storm's End

The following night, Arthur was taking the night shift alongside Loras. It was a dull affair, as most nights were. No one was brave enough to storm Edric's bedchamber, especially with the Kingsguard around. Nor did anyone desire to, given his popularity in Storm's End.

"That night... you just let your sister stride inside, knowing full well that His Grace was piss drunk?"

"As far as I'm concerned, she was welcome. If His Grace wanted her to leave, he could have said ...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 48: Wolf And Stag

Clang. Clang. Clang.

Whooosh.

With a strong flick of his wrist, Edric sent Arya’s needle flying high into the air. He then pointed his longsword at her.

“I think practice swords would do better than live steel,” Edric remarked in the scolding tone of an older brother. “It wouldn’t be ideal if we cut each other.”

“You don’t say.”

She tried to punch Edric in the babymaker, but he used Huper-Focus to see it in slo...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 47: Confession

“Since you’re the King now…” One of the kids said, tapping their chin in thought. She then pointed at Margaery, who stood by my side “Does that mean she’s the queen?”

I chuckled, exchanging looks with Margaery.

“There is no queen as of yet, sweet girl.” Margaery smiled, shaking her head as she knelt down beside her.

“Why not? Every King should have a queen.”

“Well, the little lady who is meant to marry him isn’t old enough yet.” Margaery exp...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 46: Mutual Understanding

I lifted the sheets over and saw blood. It didn't look like I had been cut anywhere, nor did she... chances were I outdid myself this time.

I got out of my bed and put on a robe, looking in the mirror. I saw Raiden Shoguns' reflection, who didn't look all too pleased. That didn't matter. What mattered was the consequences of my actions...

The Tyrells have something to hang over my head... and the Starks, too. Arya will probably bite my ear off and I doubt Robb would be all too app...

Chapter 45: Plucked Rose

Edric suddenly rose and pushed Margaery down beneath him. His shimmering blue eyes looked into hers for a long moment. Her face flushed a slight cherry red by the unexpected act.

He raised his hands and grasped hers, locking them above her head. 

“Tonight, I don't want us to ride to the North or Dorne, nor anywhere else. No… not at all.” Edric paused, his lips turning into a grin. “I want to mount you, Margaery. Like a beautiful rose that's been ...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 44: Back Home

I looked at my welcoming party keenly, scanning past every individual. There were plenty of highborn, and I knew all of them: the ladies who once pretended that I didn’t exist or offered me rotten fruits (which was pretty funny, looking back), the little lords who looked down on me and whose approval I gained overtime, the knights whom I sought to learn from, Maester Jurne, who educated me, Ser Davis, who instructed me in martial affairs, and Cortnay Penrose, who was my guardian.

On t...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 43: Resignation

“Raiden…”

Edric suddenly stopped walking forward, a good distance away from the cave. She floated ahead, facing him. The two shared gazes as a conflicted light flashed in Edric’s eyes. Saying farewell to Alysanne had given him clarity... and forced himself to realise something he would instead have looked away from.

“What’s wrong?”

“What’s... wrong?” Edric mused, frowning slightly. “Why am I here? Why do I have to bury someone dear to me? Did an enemy o...

Barbarian's Path To Multiversal Domination Chapter 5: Moon Of The Demon

[Anomaly triggered... King Maegor the Cruel has been buffed!]

'Good...' Dennis grinned madly with bloodlust. 'A challenge.'

"We'll be fighting here," Dennis said, stepping ahead of Grace.

He saw several of Maegor's builders turn away in the other direction, running.

"Fine by me."

The two met in the middle, arm's length away. They seemed to carefully observe each other, watching for openings. Dennis was the first to strike.

He raised one axe and slashed it d...

Raiden's Storm Chapter 42: Farewell

"You are... Ser Barristan?" Daenerys questioned.

"Ser Barristan Selmy, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard." Barristan announced, lowering his head as he kneeled. "I have served your-"

"You have served usurpers." Daenerys interrupted, raising an eyebrow. "If you say who you are, then why should I not have you executed?"

"I am not your enemy, princess. Nor is His Grace..."

"Princess?" Daenerys stood up from her decorated throne. "I am the rightful 2024-03-11 01:28:38 +0000 UTC View Post
