Oh, yes, folks. We're into the last part of the revamped Frozen Soul trilogy, Conquests of a Supervillain. Also, War Stories will be heading to Amazon soon, as will SCI Stories 4.
Prologue – Invasion Force
The Silexians knew war.
They were a warrior race, descended from proud warriors that had fought each other in rival clans from the time they first developed sentience. Over time, they had gained unity, becoming a true warrior people, rathe...

Chapter 151 – Harassment
I was greatly entertained by the show the three bounty hunting sisters from Bluemountain put on as they tried to decide whether it was worth it to take one of the men from the crowd or not. Lailah, the smart one, had quickly read through the new contracts that had been presented. After all, binding the men to them would need to be contractually done, with both sides consenting to it. She was less than pleased with the terms that were prese...

Chapter 1 – Jersey Deviled
Zeke Caldwell was not known as a patient man. He wasn’t known as a handsome man. He wasn’t even particularly known as a nice man. He was, however, known as a good man.
Which was ironic, considering that his ‘super’ powers gave him little more than enhanced strength and senses, and a nightmarish, demonic appearance. He didn’t even get to be one of the ‘pretty’ freaks! Well, that was why he was the Jersey Devil, and not...

Book 4 – Stars’ Fall
Prologue – Controls
In the aftermath of the Second World War, when superpowered individuals had proven once again to be both a valued asset and a clear and present threat to the national militaries of the world, the Superhuman Control Initiative was reorganized into its current form from the wartime Superhuman Wartime Resource Group. But the public fall of the French colony of Madagascar to Le Suzerain, and the very strictly confid...

Chapter 141 – Trap Sense
Charles was a very happy man at the moment.
Normally, saying something like that in the middle of a dungeon would mean that there was something wrong with him in the head. After all, dungeons were places of danger and death, punctuated by the receiving of loot of various degrees as you killed monsters and took their things. All right, when put that way, it wasn’t too out of the ordinary for someone to have a moment of happiness, wh...

(Author note: Small oopsie. Realized I'd put the wrong name in a couple chapters. This has been fixed in previous chapters, and the Amazon version of book 2 should be getting updated to reflect it.)
Chapter 1 – Aftermath
Times Square was the site of a massive, apparently spontaneous, orgy. Of course, while it might be spontaneous, it was far from unplanned, that much was obvious to anyone watching the area with an eye to spotting mental powers at work. The S...

Prologue – Kill Shot
This whole setup is so stupid! We should just take out the heroes and be done with it!
Misaka sighed. It wasn’t her place to question the Master’s will. He wanted the heroines to be broken, so he could remake them. That was fine, and all, but she wished they didn’t have to hide, and could just take over. Unfortunately, Master was playing things close to the vest. An armed insurrection would only get the army involved. She ...

Chapter 131 – New Contenders
“So, remind me why we’re here again?”
“Because the University of Florida decided to be the first SEC school to offer a Dungeonology course and a System Studies major, and we were stupid enough to be in the first group to sign up. Then, we convinced the Professor and the Dean that letting all those Hurricanes get the information and details from the dungeon down here would make us look bad.”
“And the other dungeo...

Tribulations
Lea Hunt, Paladin of Pofmis, the Chainbreaker, Goddess of Freedom, sighed, as she rubbed her swolen belly. Just a couple months ago, she had given birth to her firstborn child, a Half-Gnoll female. The little pup’s teeth made suckling uncomfortable, but she didn’t resent the child for that. She was an innocent, after all, and...

Chains of Devotion
Lady Victory shuddered as the cool air blew across her flesh. Once, she was a heroine, a role model, a symbol to all who looked at her of what was good and right in the world. She was all of those things, and more. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. When did her fall begin?
Was it when she met her new Master? No, that wasn’t true. She was already broken, shattered by t...

Magical Mistake
Kon Hitomi hummed happily to herself as she busied herself in the kitchen. To the rest of the world, she was Yukihime, a superheroine and role model to millions. Here, in this lair made out of an abandoned subway station, she was just Hitomi, a happy slave to her Master. No worries or responsibilities on her shoulders except making sure she didn’t mess up her white shirt.
Of course, she couldn’t just tell people that, which is why she told he...

Wild Hunt
It was Nieven 1 by the Elven calendar, or Primo 1 if one used the Human one. The far-off dwarves would say that it was Ingotjaw 1, but there were so few of them in Lithaes (and even fewer of them were free) that no one really took the dwarven calendar into account. Either way, by the calendar, it was the first day of...

Hey Now, Pussycat
Everyone knew that Gunkitty’s Shoothouse was the premier high-end gun club on Dimiya, at least when it came to ‘conventional’, ballistic weaponry. OK, for fancy modern weapons like blasters or psyshot weapons, there were other places just as well known. But for a high-quality ...

Chapter 3 – Infiltration
Science types will tell you that, no matter how powerful your nukes might be, they really aren’t all that effective in the cold void of space. The blast waves associated with them really don’t carry that well without an atmosphere for them to push around. Even the intense radiation isn’t going to have much effect, assuming that whatever is out there has even the most basic energy shields or enough armor to soak it up. And any armor d...

Sorry, guys. Been having allergy issues (damn pollen), so didn't get much writing done this weekend. But new chapter, yay! Also, tomorrow I'm taking the old SCI chapters down to send it to Amazon, where it will be on KU.

A woman walked into the coffee shop, and was quickly flagged down by the detective sitting across from Maxwell Adams, better known as Adonis. She nodded, and then turned to the counter, waiting in line...

Chapter 2 – The War Begins
The Titans of New York appeared to have better things to do than bother with one lone supervillain when I arrived at their base. OK, so they didn’t actually notice me when I arrived, because their building wasn’t air-tight, and I went in through the ventilation system. My having access to a teleporter was going to be public knowledge, but, so far, I had always managed to keep my ability to turn into mist from being known to anyone in...

Book 2 – Caged Tigress
Prologue – Fallen Victory
There was something profoundly satisfying about taking an opponent and reducing them to a devoted slave. It wasn’t just about beating a foe. That, on its own, was a pleasure, but it wasn’t the true victory. The true victory, the greatest escape, was in taking your enemy and corrupting them to the point where their very existence was a lie and affront against their old life, and they happily and obedien...

Chapter 1 – First Contact
I still remember what I was doing when the world changed.
It was a normal Wednesday night, like any other. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just like so many weekday nights that had come before.
I was alone in the lair for once. The Green Knights were off in Seattle doing their hero thing, keeping up appearances. Crystal was off in some server with her boyfriend, Magic Mike, doing things that would only be possible in virtual real...

Oh, yes, I'm not just going to leave you guys hanging! You ready for the war?
Also, two notes. First, Memoirs of a Supervillain is being 'processed' by Amazon as we speak, so expect that sometime soon, in both ebook and dead tree format (and yes, I plan to do an audio version as well). Second, the Complete version of Rules-Free VRMMO Life is available as an ebook, with Volumes 1-20 all in one ebook (too damn huge for a print version), available on Kindle Unlimited!

Chapter 121 – Astonishment
I had to keep myself from laughing at the astonished looks everyone was giving me. I guess I had dropped something of a bombshell on them. Qeiri, the Dogik ambassador, seemed to be the first to break out of her sense of shock, as she chittered, “What is this ‘Dungeon Exchange Network’?”
I smiled, and leaned back in my throne as I considered the question. “Well, I don’t know how much you know about how the System interac...

Chapter 1 – Mesmero
No one noticed the man in the exquisitely tailored suit, with the long, black coat, wearing black balaclava, sunglasses and a beret, of all things. In fact, not a single eye turned to follow him as he walked briskly away from the Bank of New York Mellon branch in Tribeca. That the Bank of New York Mellon, located only blocks from the World Trade Center, had just called the cops because they were robbed was alarming, to be certain. When the poli...

As most of you will know, I recently ended two of my long-running stories, Rules-Free VRMMO Life and City of Champions Online. Happy to say that I've got another story working now.
This will be a supervillain story (not set in the Frozen Soul world). You guys will get to see everything a week before the people on Royal Road do, because y'all are awesome like that.

The Headquarters for the Miami Adventurer’s Guild was far busier than normal. That was to be expected, what with the news that the Ambassador Prime from the Galactic Assembly had come to town and was visiting the Guild personally. The confirmation that was given over the Guild chatroom was enough to have all sorts of people coming to the guild hall, electing to turn in completed jobs or sell materials and the like sooner, rat...
