Chapter 208 – War Magic

With the exercise completed, I transitioned to the true reason I had brought my disciples with me today. I intended to give the Japanese and Nepalese forces a lecture on the nature of War Magic. Obviously, they would be spreading this information around, as would my disciples and I. However, I was well aware that you could not truly understand War Magic without seeing it. Unfortunately, using War Magic outside of war tended to leave a good deal of collateral ...

Dark Fate, Chapter 252

Chapter 252 – Mantles

The next morning, I had a meeting with Slave-Commissioner Sun Zhihao and Minister of Foreign Affairs Luisa Morillo. The reason was simple enough. The current holder of the mantle of Baba Yaga had reached out, and indicated that Russia had complied with my demands to end the sanctions. Naturally, I had to make a show of investigating the claim, to satisfy my obligations as Emperor, but I already knew what the investigators would find.

The mantle of Baba Ya...

Freezing Shadows, Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Night Out

Two weeks after my meeting the Conclave, I got a message from Countess. She had a meeting down in Olasar, the elven enclave in Seattle, and needed some backup that could walk the walk and look the part. Usually, she tapped Demon for this kind of work, since he was the only other elf in the Conclave, but the Ola Tarin native did not get along well with the elves from Ola Serin. That he usually went along with Countess on these gigs said good things about him, and ...

Reborn as the First Boss, Chapter 101

Chapter 101 – Revelation

Once inside the city, the Lord Mayor and Captain of the Guard split off from us, no doubt to get the High Magus, and let everyone know that were not an immediate threat to the city. Frostmaw using [Shrink] to become the size of a housecat and riding on my shoulder helped, at least a little, and Rastran using his new skill [Houndshaping] to take the size and appearance of a common Wolf helped to ease tensions. Zazriel’s [Visage] skill allowed her to blend i...

System Supervillain, Chapter 165

Chapter 165 – Admin

Web Mistress and I pulled Black Dragon aside to one of the unused crew quarters. Most of the girls slept in my king-sized bed, after all, so there wasn’t much need for all the separate quarters, despite them being provided in the design phase. Still, I wasn’t complaining. Options were always good, after all.

“So,” I said, “I’m sure you’ve heard through the Guild forums about some of what the Local Administrator for a solar system has to do, bu...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 207

Chapter 207 – Security

The exercise was a true success, in every metric that you could measure. My troops did have a bit more of a magical signature, even suppressed, than the mana-engines on the transports, but the planes were still only five kilometers out when they were detected as more than background noise with the scanners. Five minutes from detection to a full attack, two and a half if you wanted to get into melee as fast as possible. Even if a target had been on full alert, ...

Dark Fate, Chapter 251

Chapter 251 – Rewards and Stories

“Oh, MASTER!” Talia moaned as I bottomed out in her pussy, fucking her from behind. We were having a bit of a reward party for her and some of the other girls. They had made it to Level 25 in Tier 2, which was an impressive milestone, since they didn’t have access to most of the dungeons or high-level monsters that could help boost them. Of course, that was also why they were all still alive, instead of getting turned into paste along the way,...

Lewd Dungeon, Book 41 Epilogue

Epilogue – Elsewhere

“Mmm, those mortals are clever,” Athena said, as she lay back against my chest. We were watching the team I had commissioned to test the Shatterchain side of the underground caverns in my dungeon. Despite the fact that we could have done that in either of our divine realms, since our domains had… not merged, but connected, to the point where each of us could freely enter the other’s realm, there was something a bit more satisfying about making an avatar ...

Freezing Shadows, Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Rule #34

(Rule #34, Seattle Matrix)

Boomer took a breath. She’d taken the time to make her avatar for this node look exactly like she did in real life, just like he had asked her to. MetaTech allowed people to upload pictures from their home computers, which could only be accessed in OOC (Out of Character) areas, or in special circumstances, like during avatar customization. The quality-of-life feature was not really immersion-breaking for most people (most people ...

Reborn as the First Boss, Book 11 Prologue

Prologue – Spies

Perrot slipped through the Longchaser manor, quiet as he could. Which was pretty damn quiet, if he said so himself, considering he was a Level 25 Rogue / Arcanist wearing [Slippers of Silent Steps]. And he would need all the stealth he could get, if he was to accomplish his mission.

Arcanist was a rare profession in Dascora, which is why he kept it hidden behind a [False Appraisal] spell most of the time. Few people knew that most classes had some profession t...

System Supervillain, Chapter 164

Chapter 164 – Technical

Obviously, Lucy and I were dressed by the time Technician showed up at the Rhuk’s airlock. She wasn’t alone, either. Brittania, Silver Cutlass, and Black Dragon were with her, too.

Brittania was your standard super-soldier type of heroine. Faster, stronger, more durable than a normal human. Peak human capability, plus a little bit more. Nowhere near as powerful as Stolen Victory, but she was well-balanced, as supers went. No overwhelming strengths, ...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 206

Chapter 206 – Stealth

“Welcome to Nepal, your Majesty,” Ittō Kūsa Kiya Kumi said, as I approached the exercise area near Kohalpur, near the Nepalese border with India, my disciples in tow. This was not going to be an actual battle exercise, so there was no harm in them seeing this, after all. Learning about magical stealth would be very beneficial for them. “Though I admit that I am surprised about the look. I heard you were in full regalia when you watched the soldiers atta...

Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 410

Chapter 410 – Caves

The Guild had warned them of the nature of the next few floors. Oppressive darkness and caves, with only a few key areas receiving any light. Pitfalls and other hazards were present, forcing people to rely on lights, which would potentially reveal their position to enemies, letting them prepare ambushes, or turn to other senses. Worse, relying solely on darkvision or other senses might blind you to clues written on the walls so that only normal vision would see t...

Freezing Shadows, Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Information

I saluted Miko, and the rest of the Conclave, with my blade, and then followed their lead as they stepped out of the circle. I noticed that everyone was very careful to avoid Huntress’s area of the circle, which was probably a smart idea. While the most common way for someone to become infected with the magical virus that created ghouls was through a scratch or bite, any contact with their bodily fluids could do it. That she was allowed to participate in any ...

System Supervillain, Chapter 163

Chapter 163 – Reflection

It was going to take four hours for the team heading to the center of the devastation to reach their target. Not terribly surprising, given that a literal bomb had been dropped on the city. They had supers with them that could move rubble and clear the road, but there was a difference between ‘clear a boulder out of the road’ and ‘a building has fallen across the road’, and neither were the same as ‘secondary explosions removed the road’, so they...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 205

Chapter 205 – Lessons Learned

To absolutely no one’s surprise, my forces won the first round of the exercise. From start to finish, the attack lasted about three hours. Most of that was my troops marching in formation across the field, with mages primarily shielding the troops and countering enemy magic that tried to turn the approach into hazardous terrain. During that period, the mixed mortal forces managed an exchange rate of just under one hundred of their soldiers for every o...

Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 409

Chapter 409 – Towards the Darkness

The fight against the Pharaoh had been ‘solved’ by this point. The tricks and patterns for the curse tiles on the floor were known, as well as ways to avoid them entirely. The general abilities of the Pharaoh and his minions were known, and there was a clear strategy to win against him. However, that did not mean the fight was easy, or that it was without risk. That was never true in any fight, least of all a boss fight in a dungeon.

Sure...

Freezing Shadows, 54

Chapter 54: Initiation

I knew from my time in the beta that no two binding rituals for a magical group were the same, just as no two groups were the same. More importantly, initiating, and passing through to that next level of power was never like just tapping a couple keys in an interface. Every time was different, influenced by your tradition, the group you were with, any ordeal you were taking, and so on.

In this case, the group was extremely diverse. Different traditions, di...

Reborn as the First Boss, Chapter 100

Chapter 100 – Meet the Mayor

I wasn’t concerned about the wait. No doubt, whoever had used magic or some skill to call out to us from the wall as we approached had decided that they needed to pass the news up the chain of command. This kind of greeting was actually better than most responses that we thought we would get. After all, despite trying to be as nonthreatening as possible, we did have a Lesser Dragon in the mix, which was far from normal, at the best of times. That they ...

System Supervillain, Chapter 162

Chapter 162 – Portal

It took some time, but within an hour, the battle in space was done, and Nemesis was just picking off the ships that had been disabled instead of destroyed. Then, we turned towards Thraxl Prime. The nine fighters that had tried to land and take their chances were easy to find. Their heat sources stood out against the frigid cold covering the planet. Point defense weapons ensured that they would never fly again.

With that done, Nemesis turned the ship to th...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 204

Chapter 204 – Exercise

Watching the exercises unfold was an interesting experience. I had seen war, of course, and I had seen armies train. I had even seen armies of different nations working together, before, as different countries under the Demon King’s rule worked together to try and halt my advance. This was the same, and yet different.

Her forces were the first ones on the attack, set to try and storm and take the citadel that had been built for this purpose. The fact t...

Dark Fate, Chapter 250

Chapter 250 – Founding

Ganymede Prime was the name of the colony. The first human colony on the solar system’s largest moon. The teleport pad in the center of the complex was set up and ready, connecting Ganymede to the facility on Ceres. Now, I was here, looking out at the place.

The construction was finished, but it felt cold, even though the environmental systems were working perfectly. The place was too new, like Ceres had been, at the beginning. Even though Ceres as a c...

Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 408

Chapter 408 – Pyramid

There was no time for rest as they jumped through the portal from the fourteenth floor. The skills they had meant that Shai-halud was not a problem for them, but the strain of trying to keep an arrhythmic pace through sand drained their stamina. Still, they couldn’t take a break, because the horde of undead they’d been told to expect was already upon them.

Individually, the undead were weak, at least for his team’s level. They were Level 28 in Tier ...

Freezing Shadows, Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Introductions

Thankfully, the beliefs of the Conclave were fairly straightforward. As combat mages who specialized in magic and blades, members were expected to, well, be proficient in magic and blades. This meant pursuing knowledge of magic, and martial prowess with both spells and blades. Or, in other words, after initiating, I would have to bring my Astral Combat, Blades, and Spellcasting skills to within one point of each other before I could initiate again.

Reborn as the First Boss, Chapter 99

Chapter 99 – Mayoral Concerns

Dannet Darkhand, Lord Mayor of Crystalshield, did not get called to the walls every time someone approached the city. That much should be obvious to anyone who knew the demands upon his time, and how much work he put in to ensure the city remained free and stable. However, there were times, like when the inquisition party rode from Eclana not long ago, that his presence above the gates was required.

Like when a fucking dragon was approaching the w...

System Supervillain, Chapter 161

Chapter 161 – Bullying

Another cruiser and four destroyers had been knocked out by the time I finished speaking with the King and the rest of the Brits. The rest of the ships were trying their best to destroy the Rhuk, but that was easier said than done. Put simply, their ships were built for fighting the wrong type of war.

It wasn’t their fault, really. It was the inherent flaw in any organized military. Planners may try to think about the future, but there is a lo...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 203

Chapter 203 – Preparation

Obviously, it takes a certain degree of time to arrange multinational military exercises. Even my forces, who had a fraction of the logistical concerns of normal armies, had preparations that needed to be made if they were traveling long distances from wherever they were based. Armor and weapons needed maintenance, after all, and there was only so much you could do in the field without supplies. And there was food. Yes, most of her forces did not need to wo...

Dark Fate, Chapter 249

Sorry for the late chapter. Words did not want to word today.

Chapter 249 – Facilitation

The current meeting I was sitting in was not as exciting as the meeting with the representatives from South America, but potentially more important, in the long run. Oh, not like I was diminishing the fact that the last meeting had catapulted Ceres to being one of the most influential nations on Earth. However, that was that, and this was this.

On one side, there was Huntleade...
