The start of a brand new series! This will fill the Friday spot now.
Prologue – Well, crap.
Thwack!
“Aagh!” The worm in front of her cried out as her foot met his gut. The sniffing, sniveling little shit just curled up trying to protect himself. Pathetic.
“What’s the matter, Nicky? You were all big and bad a moment ago. Where’d all that energy go? Telling me you weren’t going to go and buy me something for lunch. I thought my dog fin...

So, as you all probably know, I've just finished up my Winterborn series. Since I like to have five active projects, that means I need to find a new project. Unfortunately, I'm stuck on Chronos, and don't really see a good way forward on that story, so that's out.
Now, since you all are my most devoted readers, I thought I'd give you all a chance to chime in, and help me pick which of the ideas I've been considering would be best to do.
Ideas I've been kickin...

Chapter 101 – Problems
“Welcome to Portugal, your Majesty,” a middle-aged man in a fashionable business suit said to me as I stepped off the plane. Thankfully, the twelve-seat luxury passenger seaplane was an amphibious model, meaning that it could actually land at private airports instead of always needing a water dock. And docks that could fit planes with a wingspan just shy of 18 meters were not particularly abundant when one was visiting one of the busiest ports in Europe. H...

Chapter 301 – Friendly Chat
“Well, this is more normal than I expected. And yet, it is entirely what I expected your lair would look like.”
I smiled at the kitsune standing in my lounge. “Yes, I’ve gotten that before, from Miguel, the leader of the American Adventurers’ Guild. This is the space I use for friendly conversations or dealmaking, when someone comes to me for such things.”
Silver Mercy’s avatar nodded. “Someplace within your domain, but away fr...

Chapter 49 – Oops
There are certain jobs that are essential to the proper functioning of the whole dynamic between superheroes and supervillains. Jobs that you don’t think about, as a general rule, but, without someone doing those jobs, the whole system falls apart. Sure, some teams have dedicated staff for these jobs, but there aren’t enough of those people to be on call for every super out there individually.
The three jobs that first came to people’s minds when talkin...

Chapter 141 – A Day Out
Of course, now that the majority of the diplomatic ‘fun’ was out of the way, I, as Admiral, decided to give myself shore leave. And, of course, that shore leave coincided with that of two of the pilots off the Mercurial, who just so happened to be my slaves. And, naturally, my daughter and her new pet joined us, to make it a nice family gathering. Just disregard the marines following as an honor guard and extra security.
“You know, Daddy,...

Chapter 91 – Preparations
After dealing with the seal of Life in Australia, I did not immediately run to the next seal, but instead returned to my castle in Japan. The reason for that was simple enough. Now that my quest was revealed to the world, and the seals were all under guard by more than just their guardians, I could make preparations so that there was less chance of something going wrong. Preparations that would have been impossible if I was still trying to keep things quiet...

Sorry, but there will be no chapter today. My flight from Seattle did not land in Atlanta until 00:30. I was not out of the airport until 01:20. I did not make it home until 04:00. My brain is mush.
However, I did get book 29 of Lewd Dungeon sent in to Amazon, so I haven't been completely idle.

I nodded slowly as the nausea began to fade. It had taken three ...

Chapter 27 – Crafting a Collar
Saturday morning, I awoke to Yu-Ni’s mouth gently sucking me, while Amy and Jennifer slept by my side. I smiled, and nodded to the young maid, who climbed into bed, and began riding me. The shy, innocent maiden was long gone, now. She would do whatever I told her to, now, and give thanks for the opportunity to please me.
During the ride, I considered the meetings I was goi...

Chapter 37 – Morning in a Supervillain’s Lair
It is a common misconception in the media that the life of a criminal, even a supervillain, is one chock full of danger and excitement. How can it not be, when you’re doing dastardly deeds, and dodging the police and superheroes at every turn? The truth, of course, is that the life of a criminal is much like any other field: lots of boredom punctuated by moments of high excitement and peril.
Oh, as a supervillain, I could set m...

Chapter 81 – Diplomatic
“I must say, I was surprised when this meeting request came across my desk.”
I chuckled as I sat in the office of the Australian Ambassador to Japan. The Ambassador shook his head with a smile. He was amicable enough, but I could tell that he was suspicious. After all, I’d not really bothered with diplomacy up until now.
“Well, a few things have changed in recent weeks, and so I felt it best to start taking a different tack on things. Now ...

So, an FYI. I'll be going to Ichibancon in North Carolina later this week. I'll be gone from Thurs-Tues, so I may not get any writing done in that time. Dark Fate will go up tomorrow, but after that, don't expect uploads until after I'm back.

(Classified Secrets Bar and Lounge, Military Quarter, Ceres)
Classified Secrets was the oldest, and therefore premiere, club catering to the military forces of Ceres. Not that age was all that big an indicator, when the entire kingdom was less than a year old, of course. In this case, ‘oldest’ meant by a couple of months.
Still, between the growing military, and their dependents, the Military Quarter was starting to fill out. Naturally, with...

Chapter 26 – Breaking In
Once Amy finished her work, I ordered her to rise, and rejoin the group. As the next few songs played, I made my way through the VIP section, informing my new worshippers about how things would go from here on out. Each listened eagerly, and were all too pleased to agree to my demands.
For the men, it was simple. I would not destroy their relationships, not completely. However, they could only use their partn...

Chapter 25 – Considerations
“So, Brother, what are we going to do tonight?”
“The same thing we do every night, Sister. Try to take over the world!” I grinned as I quoted an old cartoon. The rodent mastermind in the show was always a good laugh, even if his plans were always too overcomplicated. But I knew villains in real life who were the same way. They let their intellect and ego get in the way of actually getting things done.
“So, what are you doing, really?...

Chapter 25 – Induction
It was opening night for Anachronism.
A new dance club opening up in the city was always going to generate hype. After all, new things had novelty, and even people who already knew that they probably wouldn’t be leaving their usual haunts for fresher grounds got the urge to visit, if only to confirm their choice. This was even more the case when the club filled a niche that the other clubs didn’t.
Oh, sure, every dance club had a ‘retro night...
