Semper ad Meliora - Code Geass Quest

This has kind of exploded in length, so I'll probably need to extend the whole thing out further than I was planning.  But that's for another day.

Anyway, with this done it's back to Industrious!  I think I'll be working on a Marvel chapter next.

After that... hmm, maybe a chapter of the Naruto timeline?  Or possibly something different.  I don't know at the moment, might be a surprise.

Winning Peace - Chapter 20

I was forced from slumber by a sudden rush of neurochemicals that sent my consciousness from a perfect standstill to a hundred kilometers per hour in a single instant. Snapping vertical, I blinked in shock for a moment before accessing my HUD and beginning to look through notifications for what could have possibly triggered the highest-tier alert that I'd-

Ah.

It's time, then.

“Khonsu, crack me a portal to Luna,” I ordered, rising from my bed as the vir...

Winning Peace - Chapter 20

...and that, as they say, is *that.*

Now we're moving into the next phase of the story, so there will be a time skip.  I have two options for where to go with things and will be posting a poll for Patreon supporters to help decide whether there's more material to cover or if you want me to indulge in a larger time skip and move straight to the Mass Effect stuff.

So think about whether you want an intensive teching-up arc of about ten chapters or if you'd rather see the result...

Industrious - Chapter 57

I looked over the puppet I'd built and nodded.

As much as Nohara Rin was more than trustworthy enough to be made aware of my secret, the Hokage had judged her a high-risk asset due to how much time she spent out of the village. As such, while he couldn't forbid me from telling her, he'd made it clear that he strongly discouraged it.

That complicated matters given she wanted to meet the medic who was going to perform the surgery on Kushina's spine before she would grant he...

Industrious - Chapter 57

Okay, so I ended up taking Sunday off since it was the last day my brothers were in town and i wanted to do a bit of family stuff with them, so that delayed this getting out a little bit.  Also, um... this one's a lot longer than usual?  So extra content for the wait, woo!

I hope everyone's had a great Valentine's Day in the meantime and I've already started working on the next chapter of Winning Peace.  Hopefully I'll have time this weekend to sneak in a quest update as ...

Entrepreneurial Spirit - Chapter 3

“I just don't know, this all seems a bit... dangerous,” Midoriya Inko stated with a frown as she looked over the proposed work contract.

Beside her, Izuku wilted slightly.

I nodded respectfully, taking a sip of my tea. I'd gone a bit traditional to subtly appeal to the mother's subconscious desire for familiarity and stability in a situation which was currently neither for her. “I completely understand that outlook. I won't lie and tell you that this situation isn't...

Entrepreneurial Spirit - Chapter 3

Here's another new chapter!  I'm on a roll this week!

Hmm... next is probably going to be a return to the baseline Industrious story in Naruto, then... Winning Peace, probably.  I'll see about getting a third chapter out next week, too.

Until then, stay awesome and thanks again for the support!

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 10

Here are the things the movie left out.

Travel, mud, tedium, and planning.

We inserted into enemy territory during the dead of night, having caught a ride on a 'civilian' freighter which was running neutral cargo under a Portuguese flag to Istanbul. This meant we had been officially cut off from the command structure after leaving port in Lisbon. That said, we'd been given contact information for the Greek resistance, who we had been assured would help us infiltrate and exfiltrate...

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 10

Not much to report this time around.  Hope everyone enjoys.

And, of course, thank you again for your support.  Everyone here makes these stories possible with their contributions.  Stay awesome.

Where Your God Is - Chapter 8

Everything is always complicated.

If anyone asks you to trust them, tells you it's simple, odds are that they're going to ask you for money in the next breath. Obviously, that would be because they're scamming you. Even if they're not, though, the fact that they're asking for money for something simple should be telling enough to call them out on it. I could go on a long rant about how human nature enables laziness and human physiological modernity isn't actually compatible wit...

Where Your God Is - Chapter 8

Here we are!  Next chapter of Kirito's shenanigans in the death game up and running.  There were many requests for a more detailed explanation of what Kirito can and can't do with his limited moderator privileges and I hope this chapter answers that.

The poll has a few hours left on it, but it's pretty obvious who will be winning.  Expect your next update to be the Marvel side of Industrious.  Then... either the Naruto side or a chapter of Entrepreneurial Spirit. &nb...

February Favoritism - 5$ Tier

Second Verse, Same as the First!

February Favoritism!

Okay, here we go with the new month!

We do have a few new people, but the process is pretty self-explanatory.  Pick whatever you would like for me to focus on in the following month and I'll make a studied effort to do just that.  Occasionally I may deviate slightly, but I have a pretty good track record of sticking to what people want overall.

No major announcements, I don't think.   Have a great day, stay awesome, and thanks once again f...

Winning Peace - Chapter 19

I'd specifically volunteered for the solar system grand tour for a number of reasons.

First and foremost was simply that I was going a little stir-crazy, even with access to the new immersive full-dive tech I'd developed. Back on Earth I'd fallen into my pre-reincarnation habits of living almost like a hermit in my cocoon of high technology and extreme luxury, but even then I occasionally needed to get out and do something. Work had helped quite a bit in that regard,...

Winning Peace - Chapter 19

Well, a few hours late, but it's five o'clock somewhere, right?  Also, I had to trash a page and rewrite it, so I think it came out much better for the extra effort.

Anyway, I'm going to have the February Poll out in a bit as well, so look forward to that.

Expect a new chapter of Where Your God Is soon, then I'll likely get started on another chapter of the Marvel Industrious story.  Something, probably pattern recognition, tells me I'll need it sho...

Semper ad Meliora - Turn 11 (Phase I)

Woo!  Semper's back in action!  First post of Turn 11 is up!

For everyone who's waiting on something other than a quest post, I'm now working on Winning Peace and should have it up before the first of February.  After that, I'll be putting out the monthly poll and likely trying to sneak in a chapter of Where Your God Is.

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 9

I heard the door open.

There was a moment of silence as clothing ruffled and the door slowly closed again. I ignored the event and, instead, continued my regular breathing as my mind sought out true nothingness. A good meditative state didn't merely reduce one's consciousness to the measure of one's breathing, instead reducing consciousness entirely and completely to the point that it-

The door opened again.

“Ray?” Steve asked, his voice somewhere between curiosity and e...

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 9

Here's the next chapter of Engineering Marvels, hot off the press!

I had to rewrite... certain sections a few times for, well... what should be obvious reasons.

Anyway!  I'm going to be working on getting out a Code Geass update over the weekend and then get a Winning Peace update out in the last few days of this month.  I'm sorry for the wait on that one, but I've been thinking about some stuff and making decisions on how to go about things on that story.

Thanks a...

Surprise Poll - Entrepreneurial Spirit!

I'm still working on the next update, but in the meantime...

What did Izuku Midoriya decide to buy from Nova's Multiversal Emporium?

You, the audience, get to choose and decide the course of the story!  Approval voting in effect!

(The T-Virus has been cut from the list due to Izuku not being willing to risk infecting other people with a potentially apocalyptic plague.  A mystery box has been added in its place and is explicitly NOT a zombie mutagen.)

Industrious - Chapter 56:

“Sarutobi-Jounin, correct?” I asked, offering the man a shallow bow to get his measure. As I suspected, though, he casually waved off even that level of formality, gesturing with one hand that still held a smoking cigarette between his fingers even as I busied myself tracing the backdrop of the new training ground I found myself in. New for me personally, of course, not for the village.

“Just Asuma is fine,” he replied in a voice that spoke of years of smoking and rough use, eve...

Industrious - Chapter 56

Okay, here we go.  There's that done, and I hope to have a new chapter of something out in a day or two.  Right now I'm thinking 'Where Your God Is' or the Marvel sidestory for Industrious.

Outside of that, it seems as though things have finally settled down around my neck of the woods.  I hope everyone else is doing well, too.

Since I haven't said it recently, thanks once again for all of the help and support.  I really appreciate it and am glad to have everyo...

The New Ron - Chapter 30

The compound hosting Drakken was an oasis in the rocky and sandy scragland that wasn't quite desert, but close enough for government work. Several miles away from the coast, it was a landscape of jutting crags and weedy trees jutting out between cracks in the dry earth. A few hundred feet out from any of the actual buildings, there was a four-foot fence consisting of modular steel bars connected to interspaced concrete pillars. Past that was another expanse of more level ground dotte...

The New Ron - Chapter 30

And it's done!  Finally!  Another power outage the night of the freeze set me back, but it's finally done!  Ugh, I can't wait until winter is over.  Summer might actively try to kill me, but winter's just so much more frustrating.

Anyway, I'm already working on the next chapter of Industrious.  Hopefully nothing else interrupts me this time around.

Entrepreneurial Spirit - Chapter 2

I cocked my head as I felt the chime go off.

“What's up?” Jonah asked, catching my movement as he reloaded his rifle before setting it aside and starting on the pair of pistols.

“New customer,” I replied absently, feeling out the presence. “You okay if I leave you here?”

The newly-shaven man nodded, his worn clothing nevertheless clean now. “No problem, Nova. Thanks again for the bath and everything. The four-wheeler will be a huge help out-running the zombies ...

Entrepreneurial Spirit - Chapter 2

Ugh.  This week has just been a mess.  Slight illness, bad weather, extremely busy, power outage... just not conducive to writing at all.

That said, I've almost got The New Ron done as well and hope to have it out in a day or two, but it needs to be more carefully plotted than this random bullshit.  So I hope it holds you over.

Stay warm, everybody.

Industrious - Chapter 55

“Art of Manifestation: False Summoning.” I intoned, my hands racing through a series of signs faster than the eye could follow.

Yakumo held her breath as the seal I'd placed on the back of her neck did its work and, a moment later, the body of a clothed little girl flashed into existence with a tiny burst of chakra-smoke. In the back of my mind, I made a note to fine-tune the process a bit more. The ideal performance of a technique was to manifest as little 'sm...

Industrious - Chapter 55

Here's the $5.00 Tier link for the document.

Entrepreneurial Spirit - Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

Humans can't natively understand the concept of infinity.

Their, our, stupid little monkey brains optimized for running prey down to exhaustion and thinking up creative uses for sharp rocks, were never meant to. So when someone tells you there are infinite worlds out there, the human brain almost always jumps immediately to a binary comparison, usually with an already-established fact and an opposing counterfactual theory. Don't unders...

Entreprenurial Spirit - Chapter 1

Here's a thing.  It was in my head, now it's in your eyes.

Uhh... in other news!  Results are the same.  More Industrious, main timeline, coming soon.

Industrious: Engineering Marvels - Chapter 8

Chapter 8:

“An' you guys are sure about this?” Special Agent Fred Duncan asked again, for at least the third time that night, his New Jersey accent bleeding through the question.

“I trust Ray,” Bucky stated as he picked the binoculars back up to look over at the apartment complex where our target was staying.

“And so do I,” Steve echoed with a nod as he repositioned himself in the back seat of the large van we'd unofficially borrowed f...
