Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 233

Chapter 233 – Evangelist

For two days, as Kuronoth, I offered guidance to Dishonored Knight. He was already an established dungeon, of course, and knew how to make traps and puzzles to slow invaders, and he knew the strengths and weaknesses of his monsters like the back of his metaphorical hand. All I did was offer pointers on refining some of his traps so that they were designed to not just kill, but also to maim, demoralize, and attack the will of those who survived them. That, an...

Chapter 31 – Professor

Dr. Daniel Fletcher was quite reasonably proud of what he had accomplished in his life. He was twelve when the Awakening happened. By the time he reached college, the University of Seattle had just opened its Thaumaturgy Department, and he was part of the first class to be able to major in Thaumaturgy.

That was a heady time to be in academics. It seemed like every month, every week, sometimes every day, they were finding new answers to the questions abou...

Dark Fate, Chapter 75

Yes, I did it. No, I am not sorry.

Chapter 75 – Unique

I gaped as Shadraus brought out the weapon he wanted to show me. Like, full on, completely unashamedly jaw trying its best to hit the floor. This was something I had never expected to see.

Unique weapons and armor generally came in two types. First, you had things like my armor, which generally came from System rewards, and were tied to an individual. Often, those items would grow alongside the individual....

Chapter 232 – Answered Prayer

“Oh Great Kuronoth, thank you for hearing my plea! A host of followers of Binja and Idos have descended upon Atara, and are cleansing the world of dungeons, which they say are the source of the world’s corruption!”

OK, so someone went and formed a crusade, had they? The only question was whether they were doing it on their gods’ orders, or just in their name. Even when gods could talk to their followers, those mortal followers oft...

Chapter 74 – Staffing

I started my staffing concerns with the Necrozians. They would be the easiest to deal with, with the Master being able to control all his underlings. Fifty drones, ten workers, and one Master were what I needed for the shipyard.

“You’re in luck, there,” Shadraus said as he looked over my shoulder. “The Necrozians have been fighting the Gurlen for the last few years, and the Gurlen have been selling any Necrozians they capture through the Minion Ma...

Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 231

Chapter 231 – Plea

I was minding my own business, just putting a few people through the Breeding Halls. Nothing major, just a party out of New York that cut a deal to get out of a nasty situation they’d found themselves in on the eleventh floor. They got too close to some of the curse slimes, and managed to get one of the nastier curses. Namely, the one that disabled magic items.

They realized that they weren’t going to be able to fight the boss in that state, but crossing...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Book 3 Epilogue

Epilogue – Elsewhere

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. “It is now the appointed time....

Dark Fate, Chapter 73

Chapter 73 – Startup

“Ah, my friend! It is so good to see you again!” Shadraus smiled his skeletal smile as I stepped into the System Shop by the mall. Leading me towards a back room, where we could talk in private, he continued, “I saw when the kovald ship made landfall, but I did not hear anything about it on the news. I take it, then, that your trap worked?”

I smiled back at the lich, and nodded. “Yeah, worked like a treat, Shadraus. Probably bought us two to four...

Chapter 30 – Annihilation

I waited until nightfall to make my move. Not because I had to, but because I knew that the Sumiyoshi-kai would spend time getting their enforcers on alert. If they were smart, they would have had those enforcers already in place to counter any reprisals the Inagawas would make. With my messenger reporting in, letting them know I was involved, chances were that they would try to draw some of them back, to reinforce their headquarters.

Of course, I was...

Dark Fate, Chapter 72

Chapter 72 – Concerns

Legal got involved, as I knew they would, and the contracts and financing people did, as well. In the end, the flat 2% of everything that ever came from the tech they pulled out of the pirate ship was completely unrealistic. I knew it going in, but it was a solid starting point for the negotiations.

In the end, I still got a really good deal. First, I got 1% of the initial contract for any government contracts won from the government based on the tech in ...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 29

Chapter 29 – Reception

Once the slaughter was done, I sent my little messenger on his way, so that he could spread the news of what had happened to his bosses. He was probably going to have to change clothes along the way. Seems like watching all his buddies get slaughtered caused him to lose control of his bodily functions. So sad.

At any rate, with the disturbance done, there was still a wedding to take care of. Thankfully, the enchantment on Chionomu Sakura cleaned the bloo...

Dark Fate, Chapter 71

Chapter 71 – Boeing

“So, when is your friend getting here?”

Kate Pearson sighed as she heard the impatience in her boss’s voice. She looked back out to the tarmac at Boeing’s test facility, where one of her old friends from college, that was now in the Atlanta Police Department, said to meet at. “Like I said, sir, she said that she would be here at 9:30 exactly. It is 9:25 now.”

Joseph King, the VP in charge of research for Boeing, was not impressed. “Yeah,...

Chapter 28 – Assault

Tatsumi was listening to her radio as we moved towards the stairs. The explosion had already knocked out the elevators, setting off the safety mechanisms in place to deal with earthquakes. That meant that our prey would be advancing up the stairs. So, to meet them, we only needed to go down.

“The swine destroyed the checkpoint on the twenty-first floor! Both the North and South staircases, heading up! Surveillance says there are at least a hundred of the...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 27

I will be going to DragonCon next week. That means that I will most likely not write anything from Wed to Tues. Regular content will resume after that.

Also, if you're going to be at DragonCon, I'll be hanging around the Newbie Tours and Q&A on Thursday, and will be at the Fantasy Gather with other authors later in the weekend. You may also catch me in the Anime/Manga track room. At least part of the weekend, I'll be dressed as an Elvis/Wolverine mashup.

Chapter 26 – Meeting the Oyabun

A week after the sword was finished, it was time to meet the oyabun of the Inagawa-kai, and present the blade to his granddaughter for her ascension. I could have delivered the sword early, of course, but the oyabun had different ideas. He wished for a spectacle, to showcase his granddaughter, and asked for me to present the sword to her personally as part of the ceremony.

I was touched by this request. After all, outsiders were rarely allowed i...

Dark Fate, Chapter 70

Chapter 70 – Arrival

The last month flew by, as everyone quietly started making as many last-minute preparations as they could. My core team was on the cusp of Level 27, and the others were all coming along into their low 20s. I could have probably pushed it to get that extra level, but I figured it was better that everyone got plenty of rest. No sense in being so tired that you weren’t bringing your A game for the big show, right?

The pirate ship, which we identified as a h...

Chapter 227 – Bad Dog

“Eeew. Do we really need to go through this?”

Father Jacobs was not surprised at Mary’s reaction. It mirrored his own, after all. He was a firm believer that anyone who was jumping for joy at the ‘opportunity’ to walk through what looked for all the world like a giant sewer pipe with glowing green sludge in it was so far gone that killing them would be a mercy.

“Unfortunately, this looks to be the way forward.” He paused, as whispered ...

Chapter 25 – Threats

“One vehicle approaching the gate.”

The men reflected in my scrying mirror frowned at the radio message from the front gate, as they watched the approaching car. Clearly, they thought something was off, with someone coming to visit, unannounced, when it was almost four in the morning. Visitors at that time were never welcome, unless you were talking with vampires.

“Any sign, or signal?”

“None. Something seems str...
