Super Jaded (23/23)

Here it is! The final Chapter of Super Jaded! Sorry for the delay, this ended up being a long one! Hopefully, it's worth the wait! Look forward to an epilogue sometime next week!

Chapter 23: Together

Imagine being the most powerful person in the entire world and yet feeling so powerless all the same.

It was supposed to be a simple three-step process. Play out the scenario with Nina, destroy the one device capable of stopping me, establish peace. Even with the vast expans...

The Gymnast, Part 3

Commissioned by eJm

Written by HikerAngel

In a dimension as far off from any habitable part of the universe as one could be, a battle rages on.

It’s ten thousand to one. The mightiest superheroes, the scariest monsters, the most powerful gods to any faith… and a human Gymnast.

And the Gymnast is winning.

She’s expertly evading every attack with precise and flashy gymnastics, retaliating with strikes of her own that seem comically, out-of-proportion...

About Gumroad...

So, as some of you may have been made aware, Gumroad has been struck with a series of controversies over the past month. Leaking people's account info and such.

Because of this, I'm thinking about distancing myself from the site, maybe publishing all future audio stories exclusively on Audible or maybe just leaving them as patreon exclusives.

All previous audio stories will be left up there. It wouldn't be fair to those who have already purchased them to remove them.

What to...

Chapter 22: Plan

I may have been thinking rather highly of myself at the moment, but I felt almost Christ-like in appearance.

There I was, descending to earth from the heavens of space, a half-conscious Nina splayed out in my arms, her thoughts long devolving from coherence. The sun’s rays, capable of extreme radiation when outside the earth’s atmosphere, only bathed my tanned skin in luscious golden beams. Like the stained glass paintings of old, an almost angelic halo was ...

Chapter 21: Moon

Compared to the bustling nature of the Earth’s big cities, space was hauntingly quiet. I had been beyond the stratosphere only once before, but it was by myself. Having Nina’s violent screams vanish from earshot just felt… off. She was going to die and it wouldn’t be with a bang. Instead, it would be almost oppressively silent.

The nearest hard surface that I could pin Nina down to was a mere minute of flying away. The only significantly sized rock that ...

Chapter 20: Weakness

I had been called to a government lab, one I had never seen before in the underground corridors of Washington DC. Of course, all they had to do was give me the coordinates and I was there before they had even hung up the call.

I wasn’t particularly excited to see anyone from the FBI, CIA or any other three-letter American organization, but what they had said over the phone intrigued me enough to be present before all of them without a second thought.

Heavy eyes struggled to open as natural light pierced into the room. Chapped lips instinctively smacked, calling upon pain from a parched throat.

What time was it? Oh no! Oh shit! What time was it!?

Chloe sat up, her panicked brain finding a boost of energy from somewhere within her. Her back was suddenly stricken with pain, thanks to the uncomfortable sleep position she had fallen to on the couch.

Chapter 19: Parents

It was a bright and sunny day, at least, that’s how I remembered it. Even with a superpowered memory working at max capacity, the details of that fateful day were still hazy.

Even though I now knew how it ended, the memory was still shrouded in a haze of fond recollection. It was a memory of my parents and I. Before the sickness. Before the world seemed so complicated. Even a brain as cynical as mine could not help but recall it with fondness as I had no do...

Part 2

“Sit Down, Jules.”

Somehow, Octavia seemed even angrier than she had been yesterday.

“W-what seems to be the proble—?”

“Shut up. Sit down. I’m the one asking the questions here, remember? You are a secretary, your sole purpose is to relay useless information to me, understand?”

Julius nodded and sat down. Octavia looked disheveled, like she was ready to snap at any moment and throw her secretary out of the massive bay window behind them.<...

Chapter 18: Ruin

A dry, miserable wind awoke me from my slumber. Ugh, why did it have to wake me up?

I was perfectly content with sleeping the day away. Sure, it was somewhat uncomfortable sleeping on ruined skyscrapers and I didn’t exactly need to sleep, but I really didn’t want to do anything but lie down and think of nothing nowadays.

Without Fern… what was even the point?

I rubbed cracked, tear-stained and swollen eyes, fighting the salty crust tha...

“Sit down, Jules.”

The secretary did as he was told, sweating bullets as he took the only other seat within the massive penthouse office. The first chair, a far more lavish and extravagant one, was sat upon by his boss and one of the wealthiest women alive on the whole planet, Octavia Mason.

‘Cruel’ was too kind of a word to describe Octavia. She seemed to view everyone as benea...

Chapter 17: Congress

Despite being the tallest person in the room and virtually untouchable, butterflies pelted my stomach.

It was borderline surreal. I hadn’t seen many humans other than Nina since my reawakening, which I now knew was partially intentional on her part. But being seven feet tall created quite the interesting scene as I drew the attention of all the smaller men’s eyes to me. It was like being a dutchman on a Chinese train.

Left Behind Again... Again?

So, I've been getting a lot of love from the sequel for Left Behind, but also there's been a decent chunk of people who wanted something different. Namely, a more wholesome take on the whole thing. I was thinking about doing a alternate version, sort of like a "what if" style sequel based one what some folks have been asking for.

Would that sound like a good idea to you guys?

“Yes, Ms. Biles. The cameras are on you.”

“Awesome, hope I don’t make a fool of myself, not used to having cameras be placed this close to my face.”

Chapter 16: Date

I waited at the street corner, a building anxiety resulting in periodic jitters.

The sun was setting, only visible through a crack between the vast skyscrapers that surrounded me. It was dangerous to be out at night, especially a vulnerable woman such as myself.

This was a stupid idea. There’s no way she’ll actually show. She’s probably super busy solving actual crimes and saving people.

Chapter 15: Beatdown

As soon as we had gotten home, Nina made a B-line for the bedroom. I wanted to ask what the deal was with her, but I just figured she needed some time to herself. Maybe she was just embarrassed about almost killing someone? I guess I couldn’t blame her for taking some time to herself. After all, I could use a bit of a break myself.

Oh god, I hadn’t been online in over three days! My mother was probably worried sick about me! But then, I found a smile com...

Chapter 14: Plane

Okay, so that was definitely not just turbulence.

The pilot had been assuring the passengers for over fifteen minutes now. He was clearly trying to prevent a panic from erupting in the cabin, but even my 16-year-old brain could tell that he was talking out of his ass on this one.

Oh god. I was going to die. My mother was going to die. All of the 100 other passengers on this plane were going to die.

The mortality of my own existence...
