Dark Fate, Chapter 56

Chapter 56 – Defender

With that kind of invitation, how could I possibly refuse the call? After all, when invading someone’s home or place of business, it is only polite to meet them head on, and relieve them of their head before you go ransacking and looting the place for everything of value. That was basic etiquette.

The temple looked like the Parthenon or something like it, if you squinted. It had that basic shape. Angled roof supported by a line of columns down each side...

Chapter 213 – Meeting

I was relaxing after a very productive performance review with my secretary. The succubus was off, sending the documents to the Columbian consulate by courier. I had high hopes for this little partnership being the first of many.

It was, after all, just an extension of my policy with the different American guilds. What I really wanted was to get portals all over the world. That would make my influence spread all over, better allowing me to influence thing...

Chapter 11 – Training

It felt weird to be dressed in a modern business suit and skirt, of all things. Oh, I had worn elegant gowns, religious vestments, regal armor, and all manner of other things before, but a women’s business suit? This was the first time. Thankfully, the tailors who adjusted the fit knew what they were doing.

This was it, the first day of Athelian Arms, her new crafting studio. Well, maybe not the very first day. She’d already interviewed the people on ...

Chapter 55 – Prison of the Forgotten One

As we stepped into the cave, the whispers in the back of my mind became clearer, stronger. Before, it was an unintelligible whisper. Now, it was more like Gregorian chanting, low and rhythmic, but in no language I understood.

The chanting was like a physical weight on my mind. Each thrumming chorus pressed against me, trying to break me down, trying to break my resistance. I couldn’t understand the words, but I knew their intent. They...

I smiled as I watched the figure on the other end of the zoom call. He was an ‘interested business associated’ that had been given my number by the Columbian representative at the meeting where I sold them the ships. Well, we both knew that he was a leader of one of the cartels, looking for a cheaper way to get his product to the American markets.

“Yes, Señor Gutiérrez. I agree that a connection to your country could be a great boon, especially for ...

Chapter 54 – Mountain Path

We did not have any clear idea about where to go, other than tracking along the trail that the last victim was supposed to frequent. Unfortunately, my pets and I hadn’t really focused on woodsmanship. After all, we mostly fought in the city, and didn’t have any need for tracking.

The only slaves I owned with that kind of knowledge were James and Zoe, and their levels were far too low for something like this. Sure, their levels were higher than th...

An angel walked the muddy streets of Swamptown.

That was not hyperbole, or some kind of joke. Oh, sure, anyone with eyes would have been struck by the beauty walking amidst the refined squalor of the modern-day version of a frontier town. There was no doubt that she was very pretty, even more so than most who were touched by the Syste...

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....

Chapter 53 – Briefing

When we pulled up to the Visitor’s Center for the Kennessaw Mountain State Park, there were three cars waiting for us. Two were official vehicles, one each from the Marietta Police Department and the other belonging to the National Park Service. The other was an old, beat-up Honda Civic.

That tracked with the three people waiting for us. Two were men of average height and athletic builds. That wasn’t exactly uncommon after the Apocalypse, of course, b...

It was three months after her return. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Lilah and the Wolfram & Hart lawyers, the courts had ruled her as being the person she said she was, and the money from the Sleepers Fund had been released to her. And, now, she was about to set foot in her new home.

Lilah was with her as they drove along the highway. It was a little over an hour from Haneda Airport to the property she’d purchased near the Shirayama Shrine in ...

Chapter 52 – Road Hazard

The problem, we found out, was not actually in Kennesaw, itself, but in the nearby memorial for the Battle of Kennesaw Mountain, back in the Civil War. Thinking back, I remembered something about a dungeon forming there, but I had never visited it. Why would I, when last time I had only barely gotten past level 15 before the aliens started showing up? Even with the power of the Black Knight, I hadn’t been able to advance as quickly as I had this second tim...

“Master, why did you let them off so easily?”

I looked over at the succubus nestled up against me, her sister on the other side. I had decided to celebrate my victory over the Pofmisians by performing an in-depth ‘performance review’ of the succubus sisters, Mezlith and Zellora, since they’d been guarding my temple so vigorously. Naturally, I had to go deep and put my endurance to the test to do a full evaluation of their abilities, but I could safel...

Chapter 9 – Practical Study

Trust a school with a thaumaturgy program to have a practice space. The university had several, but Eri led the way to one of the outdoor fields (which were separated by thick walls, for safety reasons), where the magic sports teams often practiced. It was open to all students, on a first come, first served basis, but the unwritten rule was that the teams had priority when they were practicing.

At the far end of the field, there was a group of guys ...

The pleasure of taking desperate people and bending them over to take them for everything they were worth was even more exquisite when those people were ones that had made themselves your enemies.

Each of the ten temple-ships held roughly two thousand, four hundred people. Basically, putting them at roughly the complement of a battleship on Earth. That was a lot of people rapidly running out of air. Oh, they had emergency, nonmagical life support syst...

“Kaori! I’m so glad you made it!”

The lich in human guise smiled as her sister greeted her the moment she knocked on the college student’s apartment near campus. It had been a couple weeks since she’d come to this world, but suddenly having siblings (to say nothing of a niece and nephews!) was still something she was getting used to, though she wasn’t complaining. And Eri was certainly genuinely happy to see her, though part of that was bec...

Early chapter! Enjoy!


Chapter 7 – Purify

Needless to say, the Purifier attack on her, while on live TV, caused a bit of a scene. Not just because the terrorists had decided on such a public assault, but because of the abilities she had displayed. Apparently, her being able to create a necrotic shield, without chants, a CAD, or any kind of production or preparation, that could stand up to Santified Spellrifles at close range without faltering was kind of a big deal. ...

(Back in the main dungeon)

Being a dungeon naturally meant that I could have multiple points of view at the same time. It was necessary for running all the moving parts that a dungeon entailed, after all. This was especially useful for times where I wanted to personally entertain two different groups simultaneously.

For instance, when I was busy commentating on some new adventurers going on their first dive in a newly opened dungeon, and still ...

The big reveal to the families of her classmates went off about as well as could be expected. Yes, her being the sole survivor had stung them, but not as much as it could have. Forty years had been enough time for some closure, and there were a few next of kin who hadn’t even been alive when they’d been taken!

Returning the bodies of her dead classmates (properly de-animated, of course) went a good way to smoothing over any hurt feelings caused or old...

Contrary to what some might think, I had not actually managed the rebuilding of the former Armstrong’s Legacy dungeon as it became the Trials of the Demon God Dungeon. I gave Ayao, my enslaved dungeon core, some resources, patterns, and a general theme for the new dungeon, and let her run with it. Of course, letting my pet express herself, in my service, was part of it, but it wasn’t all.

The main reason I allowed her this freedom was because most ...

Her family did not stay for long. While Eri may have been local, the rest of the family had come from Japan, and there was still a seventeen hour time difference between Tokyo and Seattle.

The team of rookies that Miguel had rounded up all ended up deciding to buy the basic spacesuits for the equivalent of $100 each, and they spent another $75 each for five tubes of suit sealant and an escape charm. That was a pretty heady investment for adventurers who were just starting out, of course, since rentals were just $25 each. But they clearly understood the value of not cheaping out on life-saving equipment if they could afford it, which earn...

Kaori sighed. Even if she didn’t need to breathe, being a soul mystically bound to their body by way of a phylactery, the motions of a sigh were still the same, and she could force herself to make the sounds, if she wanted to. But that was neither here nor there.

Honestly, she didn’t know what she had expected to happen. Part of her honestly wished that the return ritual would somehow put her, and her classmates, back in the world they came from, at th...
