Ying went through her training forms with speed and efficiency born from a lifetime of training. Ever since she was found by her master, and judged to have talent, she trained from the moment she could hold a sword and every moment of it invigorated her.
Her master had complained about her ability to focus and lose herself in training with good nature, telling her that it typ...

Generally, I preferred to leave gathering strategic intel in the hands of specialists. Information brokers were a different, cutthroat breed of human whose services I acquired through currency and nothing more. The realm of rumors, gossip, and corporate espionage were all well out of my comfort zone. I’d had enough of that social maneuvering in high s...

With the peace and quiet of the apocalypse about to get fucked by ideological wars just a few years after the bombs fell, I made the executive decision to start shoring up, gaining a few contingency plans, and acquiring important information.
Shoring up meant taking stock of my bunker and making sure that it was concealed and safe, while planning ...

Take the knife and the catalyst. The lady in my vision spoke, all dazzling and imperious and like, but all that was useless with me not knowing a darn thing. The first doodad and the second doohickey, bumpkin.

For over a century, the sects of Murim fought against one another all across the Heavenly Realm. Battles between rival schools, fostered by immortals, flooded the land with blood.

I stared as Hyoudou Issei and sighed.
“Well, that answers the question whether or not retroviral gene-editing changes personalities.” The Hyoudou that I knew was a pervert, but he had it under control and was generally considered a regular person in society. “Or, maybe it was the lifelong propaganda preparing everyone for life fighting against interdimensional enemies?”

Mekh wanted to remain updated on the situation. I couldn’t blame the Pharaoh for wanting updates, since we were covertly using criminals to steal from his peers.

A land of Kindred is one of debauchery, injustice, and meaninglessness.
Ylstu invalidated this claim, but the land of the Pharaoh’s made the claim utterly ridiculous.

Since the Pharaoh was seated on the Throne when I left the table, I thought that I’d have to wait for him, but instead I found the tanned, white-haired Shota wearing more gold than cotton waiting for me.
