System Supervillain, Chapter 87

Flew up to Boston, since I'll be on some panels at Rising Phoenix Games Con. If y'all are in the Boston area, I'll be here through Monday.

Anyways, chapter from the buffer, since writing on the plane doesn't fly.

Chapter 87 – Guest List

The guard led the way into the ski lodge, taking us past the desk area, and into an area that clearly was designed for meetings. Perhaps it was used for small business conventions at one point? At any rate, the ro...

Chapter 131 – Poltergeists?

To say that there was something of a stir when we returned to the ship would be an understatement. After all, just seeing a phoenix was rare enough. Seeing two of them, and knowing that they were formerly human? That was something else altogether.

The Capitaine and Sergent-Chef were not entirely pleased at the turn of events, also for obvious reasons. Turning into a bird with no way to turn back was certain to be taxing on th...

Chapter 335 – Desert Heat

Dungeon Law

All creatures are restricted from flying, leaping, or otherwise attaining a height of 3 meters from the ground, measured from the lowest point on their body at any given time.

Bargulg frowned as he looked at the dungeon law that greeted them as they entered the first of the desert floors. He had seen dungeon laws that prevented flying before. But they all tended to be...

System Supervillain, Chapter 86

Chapter 86 – Arrival

“Thank you so much for bringing me to this, Master! I’ve never been to a supervillain party before!”

I had to smile as FX thanked me, yet again, for bringing her. She was the newest of my pets, so I thought it good to introduce her as the new member of Devastation. The other three pets I had with me were Web Mistress, Bloodmoon, and my maid, Tammy. Serafina and the former Squadron Supreme members were all starting to show baby...

Chapter 334 – Narrow Victory

Already tired from three hard fights in a row, and barely recovered from the last one, which had almost ended in tragedy, Bargulg was not exactly thrilled to start the fight, but he didn’t have a choice in the matter. Tels Xuan, the Dark Saint, drew her blade from her hip. As she did so, she spoke, “Fly, Soulcleaver. We have work to do.”

The blade which had been floating behind her now moved with a will of its own. Whe...

System Supervillain, Chapter 85

Chapter 85 – Supervillain Socializing

Really, it should come to no surprise to anyone that the world of supers was actually a pretty lonely one. Unless you were part of an established team, your life as a super was pretty much a solo gig. Regardless of which side of the law you were on, or whether you had a secret identity or not, you didn’t dare risk letting people get close. And you certainly didn’t go to community gatherings.

Think about for a se...

Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 333

On my way back from SakuraCon now. But I had a chapter in the buffer, so you don't have to worry!

Chapter 333 – The Arena

Bargulg fell to one knee, panting as he tried to recover a bit of his strength. Two back-to-back rounds of enemies had been rough. The first was a group of ten goblins that were at level 45 in Tier 2. Not strong enough to pose a serious threat, but definitely strong enough that they had to fight seriously.

No sooner had ...

Chapter 332 – Darkness

“It is just as bad as you said,” Bargulg said, frowning under his helmet. Not that he expected his pets to lie to him, or exaggerate things, but still. There was hearing something, and then seeing it for yourself.

As had been reported, the room had several ‘tiers’ as it descended towards the far end, where the boss was. The Cursed Slimes were arranged on the tiers, just far enough apart that a cautious person could walk be...

Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 331

Chapter 331 – Not so Easy

“Everyone, out of armor, and rest up. Lyrei, do what you can for our armor.”

Bargulg took his own advice, and began stripping off his armor. What remained of it, at least. The tenth floor of the dungeon had not been terribly bad. Oh, if they weren’t as prepared as they were, then things could have gone bad, but, as it was, they’d been able to ignore most of the floor’s dangers.

The main threat of the tenth floor was the fact that anyon...

Reborn as the First Boss, Chapter 21

Chapter 21 – Spoils

The fight against the ‘Copper Skeleton Bandits’ was done, but there was still plenty of work to do in the Irontooth Mine. Obviously, we had to take their heads, for proof of our deeds in killing off the group, and separating forty heads from their corpses was not exactly fun work, for anyone. Beyond that, there was also the matter of distributing the loot.

The bandits had been surprisingly well equipped. For bandits, at least. Simple leather jerkins, br...

RIP Toriyama Akira

Without visionaries like Toriyama Akira to light the way, stories like the ones I write, and others in this genre, would never have been told. Without his work in games like Chrono Trigger, and shows like Dragonball, which have touched the lives of millions, and inspired so many creators, the world would be a much drearier place.

Rest in peace, Toriyama-dono.

Dark Fate, Chapter 171

Chapter 171 – Alert

Officially, it was known as the Tactical and Strategic Information Center. That name only truly existed on paper. Everyone else called it the War Room.

And right now, it was in a flurry of activity.

“Report!”

My command brought a moment of silence to the room, before things began moving again, more orderly this time, as Admiral Jordan looked my way. He nodded once, and said, “Your Majesty, six minutes ago, an Ouran cruiser identifying as t...

Prologue – Demon King

It had been a day like any other. The days did not change much, here, in the land of Utron, upon the Shadowed Continent. Shadowed? He had laughed, when he finally saw the truth of things, all those years ago. The sun still shone upon the ‘shadowed’ lands. The only reason they had the name was because the so-called Enlightened Lands could not have someone who flew in the face of their gods have power, without decrying them as evils to be destroyed.

He ...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 121

Chapter 121 – Religion

To say that getting possessed by a Goddess was taxing on a person is like saying a typhoon in the Pacific is a ‘little bit wet’. A mortal frame, even an undead one like mine, is simply not equipped for such a thing. Such a body is incapable of holding the full weight of divinity.

Of course, it wasn’t just the body that was taxed by the presence of a Goddess. A mortal soul is not meant for close proximity to a transcendent being. The others were not...

Four individuals met in a darkened room. No names were shared. Those who knew about this meeting already knew who the other attendees were. There was no need for introductions.

Each individual represented a faction of power. While they were not the nominal heads of their factions, what was decided in this chamber would be carried out. One way or another.

On an unseen signal, the political representative took a breath. “What news from our asset in t...

Chapter 120 – Invocation

Where the radiant orb had been, there now hovered an angel. Not a true angel, for I did not detect any Holy mana in the area, but there was no other word for the being that hung in the air before us. After all, what else would you call a creature, human in shape, but 2.5 meters tall, with white feathered wings sprouting from their shoulders that spanned a full 3 meters?

And there was, indeed, only one creature there, instead of the two humans who had s...

System Supervillain, Chapter 73

Chapter 73 – Chicago Supers

Chicago had one of the lowest rates of supercrime activity in the United States. That was, of course, thanks to both the Squadron Supreme and Storm Front, the Illinois state-sponsored superteam, being headquartered there. Sure, regular crime still existed, but the Dambree Act made it so that supers in the state of Illinois couldn’t interfere with normal crimes.

Which isn’t to say that supers couldn’t help out at all with mundane affairs. If th...

Chapter 119 – Radiance

With the guardian defeated, and the rest of my entourage on the way, I turned my attention to the center of the room. Where the space had been empty before, now, there was a crystal of purest black. Shadow sealing Light, just as Light had sealed Shadow before.

This was the fifth time I had performed this ritual, so laying out the circles was child’s play for me. Of course, that didn’t mean I rushed things, or that I didn’t bring out my fellow archm...

The boss fight for the sixth floor of the Water Temple was a challenge. Six on six, just as the succubus had said, but it was not so simple as all of that. No, Balgurg sighed, there was no way that it would be that easy.

I was gentle with the young rogue. The first time. But I wasn’t the type to go for only a single round, unless it was a quickie like Astruth gave me in town. And that was more like picking up a light snack, rather than indulging in a full meal, like I did with Jewell. And she was a delicious little meal, indeed.

Five hours. It took five hours for the Lieutenant to solve the puzzle. It was, apparently an average attempt at such a feat, according to what a search online told me, when I stepped out to the cavern’s edge to get a bit of fresh air while the Lieutenant worked. Not spectacular, but still slightly faster than it would have taken me to safely penetrate and disarm the wards.

As she placed the glowing cube back upon the stand, the wards shimmered,...

The analysts can’t see any benefit to your actions, unless you’re looking to set the stage for a corporate-style hostile takeover. But, having met you, that doesn’t really seem to be the way you operate.”

I nodded amiably. “Yes, I’m really not the corporate shark type. While I can hum a few bars, that d...

With the Hero dead, and my possible demise pushed back, along with me no longer being the First Boss, I was happy to turn my attention to other things. First—well, not first. First was taking a bath and turning back into my human guise. No way was I going to walk around covered in blood, provoking all kinds of unfortunate questions. After that, though, I returned to my manor, and set to work on all the ‘busywork’ that being a Baroness entailed, so that ...
