Prologue – Caught
“[Triple Stab]!”
Syllia Zylgolor smiled as her skill went off without a hitch, piercing the Level 36 Kobold Warrior three times in quick succession, finishing it off. Her class was not typically a melee-oriented one. After all, when one thought of a Waterbender, they typically thought of someone who controlled water around them forming whips, shields, and other such constructs that definitively kept them back, away from the real threats. The name gave peo...

Yes, I made an obvious reference. I'm the author and I can make an homage to fallen greats if I want to. ;)
Chapter 144 – The Ship
One year after the Gel-Nak invasion was thwarted, it was time to pick up my new ship. One year was a significant amount of time, from the perspective of someone on the ground, but to build a working spacecraft with a mixture of human and alien technology? Well, let’s just say that the space shuttle took 5 years from design to completion. S...

Chapter 186 – The Speech
Of course, even if I wasn’t going to completely overwhelm people with my presence, that didn’t mean I would refrain from putting on a show. After all, even when ruling a country of the dead, where everyone was bound to my will, a ruler had to engage in a bit of pageantry now and then. Morale and pride in the country may not matter to mindless undead, but t...

Chapter 143 – Meeting
(El Extraño Encapuchado, Mexico City, Mexico)
The Cloaked Stranger was a bar and grill, run by the Guild. Because even superheroes and supervillains needed to eat, and the Stranger provided a place where they could do it without worrying about secret identities. A place where they could relax, and eat without needing to worry about ‘civilians’.

Sibila smiled at the man sitting next to her. Gato Roxo...

“Oh, Akagawa-san, you give me the most wonderful gifts! Though I wish you could have arranged for a better time of day? Or at least let me know ahead of time so I could prepare!”
I chuckled as Holly Gibson rushed to my side the moment she entered my suite. It was the morning after I set about raising the Athelian Embassy here in New York, and Holly had called at seven to ask to see me. Somehow, she’d made it here by seven-thirty, arriving just a...

Chapter 389 – Plans
Naturally, the marriage between Athena and I wasn’t taking place immediately. If we wanted to do things right, and send the proper message to the people of Earth, then preparations were needed. Not just for the ceremony itself, but also the messaging, and how we would work together in the future.
After all, this wasn’t a marriage of love, but a political marriage. Which is probably why Athena agreed to the proposal so easily. There weren’t going to be...

Chapter 35: Ready to Go
After talking things over with our hosts, Babydoll sent one of her blimp drones up. The one with the retrains unit and chameleon coating, not the one with the sniper rifle. We couldn’t bring all the drones out here on short notice, after all, so we picked the one that could help with surveillance, instead. Still had the two Steel Cougars and their heavy weapons, obviously.
This gave us something to do, since the Angels didn’t want to give too much awa...

The next morning, I woke up to Mindtaker gently sucking my morning wood. I would have given her some encouragement, but my arms were pinned under the bodies of Midnight and Lucy as a line of sunlight traced across our chests. Looking around, I saw Su-Yun walking into the bedroom, pushi...

Chapter 184 – Embassy
A quick message to Malo after Menton left set things in motion on that front. I did not need to be personally involved in those discussions. The diplomats would do diplomat things, and eventually one of them would come to me with a proposal that I would either agree to, reject, or suggest alterations to it. Either way, I was quite comfortable delegating that kind of work.
I didn’t have nay further meetings scheduled this afternoon, so I changed into my miko...

“Well, I haven’t talked about it too much on the GodNet forums, but there is a reason I can do things that other gods cannot,” I started, looking the huntress in the eye. “Though things have moved past the point where strict secrecy is necessary, so there’s no harm in telling you. I called myself a dungeon god not only because I am a God of Dungeons, but because I am a Dungeon who became a God.”
Artemis blinked, and took a moment to process t...

Leaning back in my chair, I sighed. “Honestly, I haven’t paid a great deal of attention. I know that the American buffoon drove Hawaii and the Pacific territories into my waiting arms, and their Pacific fleet has been reduced to a shadow of their former glory, with only their submarines being able to reliably leave their territorial waters without suffering attacks by monsters.

Chapter 387 – Divine Chat
I shifted my focus to GodNet, and the divine space I had there, for meeting with other deities. Considering who I was going to see, I decided that the ‘throne room’ and ‘smoky back room’ options weren’t the best for this meeting. These were deities that I was on good terms with, after all, and it wasn’t likely we were going to be talking business. Well, not mostly. So, the ‘bachelor pad’ setting based on the lounge I received mortal visitors i...

Chapter 33: Road Trip
A delivery was waiting for us the next morning. A supply of capsule rounds for each of us, filled with the KE IV mix of concentrated insecticides. Basically, they were so nasty that just touching the stuff was like acid to bugs. Didn’t have enough rounds to go wild, but they’d help, in case we came across any of these giant bugs that were supposed to be in the area.
Getting to Yakima meant crossing the border into tribal lands. Fortunately, the border was...

Su-Yun moaned, her naked body collapsing against my chest as we finished together. Slowly, I shifted her hips up, allowing my spent length to slip out of her. She didn’t object when I guided her to the floor between my legs, her knees resting easily on the carpet as I sat on the side of the bed. Without needing a command, her head moved forward, as she began cleaning me with her mouth. Just as I had taught her...

Twelve nautical miles from the US shore, air and water displaced, as a ship teleported into international waters. My ship. Of course, the sound was muffled, since I had taken the time to include those sorts of protection in the spell. No need to rile up the local sea life, after all.

Even in a world of magic, it would take time for the adventurers I’d hired to reach Knighthold. Sure, there was magic that allowed people to move great distances through teleportation. However, on Bluemountain, that magic typically took the form of static teleportation circles in the depths of palaces, allowing government officials to reach the lone spaceport in the city of Bluemountain, if they needed to. Most people on the planet didn’t even know the...

Chapter 32: A Favor
Hades Club Seattle was the biggest dance club in the sprawl, and operated 24/7/365. More importantly, it was actually busy during the majority of that time. Part of that was just due to the fact that modern business operated globally, so there were always people in Seattle who were operating on New York, Paris, or Neo-Tokyo time. Another part, though, was due to how Hades Club Seattle was connected to its sister clubs in Hong Kong and Paris.

“Thank you, Su-Yun. Show them in,” I said, looking at the request on my phone one last time before putting it away. Sibila, the Oracle of Rio di Janeiro, wanted to meet me, and she wasn’t the only one.
The last couple days had been rather interesting. Obviously, everyone knew I was planning on going to ‘visit’ the Gel-nak. I had said as much in my last global threat, after killing the Emperor. T...

Things had moved rapidly, once I decided to have Risen Athelia apply to be part of the United Nations. To join, a country first had to get approved by the Security Council, and then make it through a vote in the General Assembly. The permanent members of the Security Council could veto an application, of course, like they could do any matter that came before them. However, out of those veto holders, only the US and Russia were unfriendly to Risen Athelia, and the...

“That’s right, Ricki. You’re being such a good girl for me right now.”
A moan was the only answer I got as I clasped one hand around her throat, just tight enough for the technomancer to feel like I was choking her, but not so much that I was actually cutting off her air. You had to ease into that kind of play, so you knew where people’s limits were. Not that Ricki cared about that at the moment, as her eyes looked into mine, my hand forcing her...

Two weeks ago, the last aliens fighting in the city had either surrendered, or been put down. For the past two weeks, Sibila had done little more than eat and sleep, her body struggling to recover from the strain of using her powers for so long, with so little rest. She knew it would happen, of course, even without her powers warning her. It happened every time she overused her abilities, like during natural disasters. Everyone wh...

Switching between ‘dungeon me’ and ‘divine me’ always took a moment to focus. Dungeons and gods both had the ability to process a great deal of information. They had to, in order to effectively run a dungeon, or manage their faith across entire worlds. However, they both processed things in different ways, and focused on different types of information.
The easiest way to describe the sensation would be to compare it having two different web bro...

In the end, Serafina’s spell was successful. At least somewhat. According to the System, the disease being cured had two effects. Unfortunately, those effects did not include all the undead just laying down and dying. The undead were still shambling around, but, as far as the System could tell me, they were no longer ‘infectious’.
That sounded small, but it was actually huge. One of the biggest problems with most ‘zombie apocalypse’ scenarios wasn’...
