I could have not asked for a better miracle than the one I received now.

“All done here, lady Hannah!”

“Thank you so much, young man. Thank you for your help!” I wiped the sweat off my brow, felt the breeze on my skin, and the ache in my legs. Nothing hurt. Moving did not break apart my thin scars and force me to bandage myself every day. Breathing did not fill me with pain. The ache in my muscles did were already fading. “Here...

“Drink?”

“No, thank you. But help yourself.”

“My thanks, your majesty.” Erlan took a bottle filled with vodka, took off the cork, and took a swig. With the hardy constitution of the dwarves, vodka was basically a strong beer. We were in his home, which was richly furnished with carved statues of animals, furs, and had warm hearth. His wife and children scurried away from the kitchen after giving greetings. Erlan’s brow was heavy as he c...

“They are loathsome and vile. Creatures of betrayal and greed beyond measure.” A voice like rolling thunder resounded from the dying man. Of four arms, only one remained. That one arm had a hand that clutched a wound pouring black blood over his chest. The being that terrorized five nations and laid waste to three lay in a crater before his throne. Despite all my strength, only that one wound was true. “Beyond redemption. The flames I promised suit...

There was no end to the onslaught, the barbarism, and the brutality that unfolded across the lands of the Wardens.

“Sometimes, I curse my choice to take the center with all its peace and quiet, then I come here to the south and see that I’ve chosen correctly.” Morgan mused and collapsed her telescope, before placing it in a pouch at her vest. She wore a strange mix of clothes. Thick alchemist robes atop plates of Ci...

Increasing the abilities of the body was beneath nobility. Our path was to cast great spells, change the course of battle with words, and threaten the safety of entire cities with our presence. Knighthood was for those who needed to supplement their lacking reserves with martial might, but even they enchanted their weapons instead of mere physical enhancement. That was the path of the soldiers and even conscripts for meagre bursts of...

There’s a limit on how much fervor can get you.

I was more than aware of the willingness of my troops to do as I say. It was a consequence of my own actions. They were a bunch of warbands, nomadic tribes, and villages living in obscurity, then I came in, gave them better living conditions, and proceeded to beat any threat to death. Keeping my word, ensuring the safety of my subjects, and not losing a single battle basically made me this...

Honestly, acting like a superhuman to take on the Academy involved a lot of subterfuge and exploration between bouts of extreme violence. With an eyepatch, some radio chatter, and a mixtape of '80s songs, the mood would be perfectly set. Honestly, I was tempted to dress down, put on some camouflage, and see how far I could get fucking with the Academy’s forces, but I decided against it.

Again, I needed to make sure that my appearance of...

Lord Zhang had a schedule that he kept without err.

In the mornings, he would always rise just as the sun began to dissipate the night. Before the roosters crowed, he would already be tending to numerous matters. Water would be drawn from the well, fires snuffed out for the night relit, and breakfast prepared for the whole household. Then, he wo...

After receiving the gift from Lord Zhang, I was visited by Lady Bai.

Lady Bai wore robes that were primarily white, with a lavender waist skirt, and a pink sash. A braid with a small jade ring hung from her sash. Her clothes fit her figure well, and lords of cities would have fought to claim her as a wife for her body alone. Her hair was such a ...

I did a quick check on my body from toes to fingertips.

Okay.

Not paralyzed from the neck down.

Good progress.

Just a few days after her first words, the child was already walking upright and staring at everything with interest. Given the speed with which she learned and matured, I decided it would be wise to teach her to read and speak the kingdom’s tongue, as well as the As’Kari’s. She took to both with stunning speed.

There was the urge to ask outright what defenses could be used against it, but I kept my silence and looked Harold’s way after committing the creation’s inner workings to memory.

He seemed perturbed by my words, a frown crossing his wizened face, and hi...

When employed in battle, superhumans are best when they’re unknown and unidentified.

Naturally, the plan changed when it became clear that the pseudo-aristocracy at the center of Canada was going to get attacked if we kept the main communication terminal.

Here, in this factory, they w...

Lord Trelawney met us before breakfast in a strange room within the castle. It was filled with metal scaffolding and benches, as well as long rods of steel upon which were discs of iron.

He met with us in simple training clothes, just trousers and a tunic, and gave us both a pair of gloves. Without the uniform of a young lad, his pallor and gauntness were even more apparent. If I spotted a child who looked as he did on the stre...

Coastal Fortress Trelawney was a cliffside, fortified port that clung like armor onto the coast. At its base was frosted, churning seas and countless sharp stones. Reminiscent of a black beetle clinging to the side of a clay pot, the ‘head’ of the castle crested above the top of the cliffside, but most of it was below. Large structural supports, much like legs, stretched across the cliffside and embedded the structure onto the cl...

The Iterants were out of the bag with our current stunt, and that led to all sorts of repercussions. Even though we gave the order for them to pull out, and worked to get them back home before pulling the trigger on the Wardens, the other factions noticed hundreds of people disappearing in their nation. A lot of them considered it hostilities, and if not for the fact that they were working on taking the Warden’s capital, full-blown war would be taking place al...

Long ago the world was ruined. The ancients were felled by foes long lost to memory, and their great civilization shattered. From the ashes arose myriad peoples, each one vying for control, and each one coming to conflict with one another. For countless centuries those who arose from the ancients fought for power, influence, and territory, their kingdoms and nations rising and falling with history. But now is the time of ending. Long lost machines have been found and raised. Power unlike any kn...

As the ship flew over the Strait of Helena onto the shores of Lord Trelawney’s lands, I read and considered the curriculum that he handed me.

To put it frankly, it seemed insane, and when I looked at Alice, she concurred with eyes wide with disbelief.

I’ve seen warbands destroy budding nations before, typically funded by the Academy.

They broke defenders from range with powerful magic, rode into towns on horseback, and slaughtered people without giving quarter.

Infiltrators will follow the mass of hungry and fearful crowds, sowing chaos by fomenting riots a...

Harold’s tower was just a few minutes away from the palace. Situated on the outskirts of the city, the lands around it was bare, grassy fields. No roads led to the tower, but docks for flying vessels surrounded the tower like a ring. Pure white in coloration, it was like a spear jutting out of a grassy plain, and I realized why it was solitary as we grew closer.

At the start of the game, you can generally move armies to other regions in four or so turns. The war against the Children of the Elm involved a ‘quick’ march to their new Citadel. That march meant crossing the lands that the Conquerors were taking at the time, too.  So, we crossed half of our home region, the full breadth of the Conqueror’s region, and then then half of the Children of the Elm’s lands to reach their Citadel. That took a full year o...
