Justice is what those in power tell those beneath them it is.
-City Lord’s Mantra, First Line
Kyo pulled herself from the Dump pit and took a wary look around. The streets of any Waste city were unsafe according to chatter in the Bazaar. However, there were probably none but the most insane or desperate that would take up haunting the Dump pit’s surroundings. Most factories poured their contents into the pit through pipes. Any liquid burned off dur...

The fact that Tier Sixes were considered Minor Deities should have clued Eve in. It hadn’t clicked, the connection just hadn’t been made, due to the fact that the Earth she came from had no visible beings with such powers. There was faith, certainly, perhaps even Faith although she had no way to be sure. However, there was no one captured on social media doing acts that were clearly divine in nature.
In a twist though, being a Minor Deity, and having the System actually solidifi...

I didn’t want to rule the world.
I simply wanted to walk the streets without fear.
-Lion’s Refrain
Kyo scented the air as the last hundred meters to the Wall entered her eyes. There had been two bandit groups operating nearby, but she had managed to avoid both of them with the ease of long practice. Her previously wet rag suit was caked with sand, but that was a sacrifice infinitely superior to losing her catch.
Ten four-leg co...

Eve wasn’t thrilled to be pulled out of her mental chat with Nota to an argument between Jeffery’s nephew and some irritating new individuals that had arrived. Getting up from her comfortable chair, she hobbled over to the door letting the taller forms of Rex, Maxine, and Everburn conceal her.
Eve watched as a red-robed priest with a haughty expression said with a sneer to Rex, “We have every right to be here. The Cardinal personally assigned us to assist. If you have any issues w...

No one knows where the Empress originated from. Not a single text in the Wastes or Wilds of our world can pinpoint her origin. Only two singular facts have followed her rise from poverty to opulence.
One, any of the Lion Clan are untouchable. This fact was proven by the annihilation of fourteen clans and twelve guilds upon the discovery they were involved in the death of a single cub.
Two, only death awaits rebel scum be they noble or not. This fact was prove...

Rex Enzta or Rex Wellington as his family called him was a full-blood drow of rather particular tastes. He enjoyed the freedom of pitting his power against nature rather than slinking in the shadows. His father had been assassinated in a quiet bit of murder when the family expanded their territory in the City of Gold. Similarly, his mother, bless her black heart, had followed his father’s footsteps when she took her revenge on the killers. Being orphaned at ten would have been a death sente...

Purple was learning how to create traceless poison delivered by the mana around him using his new affinity when she checked up on him. Eve watched his ever more efficient attempts morph from crude to canny over a few days. The discovery of poisoning through mana was directly due to Kudzu. A few plants were strategically placed by the green alchemist to demonstrate the principles of Poison affinity to the young man. Like a fish to water, Purple had immediately discovered the plants and their p...

Eve paced back and forth in front of the box of space she’d stuck Young Master Andrew in. She couldn’t kill him, more’s the pity. While having the young man die might be convenient, the System wouldn’t tolerate it. She needed a method to remove him from the picture so his family wouldn’t learn of her existence.
The nobility had strange and unusual methods of detection, and Eve worried it might not be possible to cut the trail completely. For all, she knew they could summon a d...

So, we all know Eve will escape the Prison Plane.
Eventually.
She'll reach Tal Mor, that much is certain.
But this deals with the future.
Once Tal More 2.0 is over.
Once she leaps into the Void once more to travel to a Prime World.
The Fabric of Reality is malleable under this Author's words.
So, with the power in my hands, what Prime World would you like to see her arrive at?

Eve stared at the Order of Witch Hunter team in front of her. She had already told Janice not to allow anyone outside during the fight. While she hadn’t expected to be fighting an Order aligned with the Inquisition it wasn’t unexpected. This group was well known for doing anything to take their target out according to Nota. Collateral damage wasn’t something Eve wanted as she had just finished acquiring the business behind her. It wouldn’t do to let some religious zealots burn it to t...

Andrew Shillington, or Young Master Andrew as the masses knew him as knelt before the transportation formation in a secret basement that didn’t appear on any architect’s plan within the dungeon city. He had been kneeling for hours, a testament to the degree of anger his overlords wanted to demonstrate. Truly, capturing the Witch should have been no more difficult than bagging a pheasant but fate was fickle. Even his own Eyes of Purity could barely detect the woman’s out...

The City of Silver lived up to its name as a gleaming edifice of shining light. It looked rather austere and pure, but the entire picture gave a sense of disdain. Eve felt it was a city that didn’t welcome outsiders, for all that it could have placed as a modern tourist trap on Earth. She turned away from the City of Silver and said, “Do either of you children have plans for the future?”
She watched Lily scrunch her face up after Mark cleaned the ...

The Silver Fingers of Heaven, what a pretentious name for a group of painted women. Eve thought shifting expertly through the information gained with Nota while also chatting with Lily on the best colors to wear. After taking the bribe of a lifetime, Dan was in the process of resigning. Remaining inside the store after selling customer information would be unhealthy in quite a few ways. This group operates from four main locations in the city, which means there is likely a fifth ...

Hot soup. Warm baths. Toasty feet. Eve heard the Hut recite a litany of what would be done once she returned from shopping into her mind while she prepared to Spatial Step the two children back into their apartment in preparation for going on a spending spree.
The Hut was thrilled at the chance to have mortal occupants once more. Eve had been guilt tripped into taking the two children the moment Lily had asked for assistance. It wasn’t...

Mark watched the woman who his sister had let enter their apartment with discerning eyes as he told his tale. She had the look of a Zun from the great trading city, but the mannerisms were all wrong. She didn’t check the corners, she didn’t keep a skin-tight shield up at all times, and most telling her accent was ever so slightly wrong. Clues he learned in the years working at the city library combined to paint a terrifying picture.
Normal Zun of the Ten T...

Eve stared at the shocking stereotype in the flesh before she accelerated her thoughts into a frozen moment of time. A quick look around demonstrated that there were a suspiciously high number of food merchants with an unhealthy fixation on the situation. They might only be looking out of the corner of their eyes, but when nine out of ten people did that it was pretty clear something was up. With her mind operating at a higher level it was easy to discern the so-called young master’s true i...

“What do you think poison is, Purple?” Eve asked as the group moved towards a Scorpion nest. The critters large and small sensed a deadly predator moving through their territory and had begun to assemble a Swarm ahead of the party. If it was too much for her potential minions to handle, Eve would step in to prevent deaths. The idea that half-trained children would somehow have an epiphany in battle turning into hardened veteran warriors with a plethora of ultimate moves might be popular i...

Escaping the furor of her escapade had been as easy as waving money at the casino manager and letting her take charge of the limelight. Eve was able to quickly acquire her attempted escape artist Ooze, Mr. Wiggles, to have a nice quiet chat in a private room the casino provided for a small fee. The luxury chair she was sitting in did much to take the edge off her anger, but it wasn’t a cure-all. She detested those who attempted to jiggle their way out of a deal.

Eve moved calmly, almost mechanically as if her actions were already pre-determined. It took only a single hand before the Luck Reaper realized their luck had run out. There was a pause as the creature digested the shift and glowing green eyes narrowed dangerously.
Eve ignored the creature glancing at the bricks surrounding the gaming table before she said, “You can’t keep them at bay forever.”
The Luck Reaper said with a sneer, “I don’t...

A soft knocking noise resounded at the door to the luxury suite Jennifer Red claimed in her Master’s house. It was a calming unhurried knock that nevertheless managed to awaken her with minimal effort. Moments later her liege entered the room without preamble.

Eve had never seen an Ooze sweat, but that was the current picture of her unfortunate card-playing colleague as he wobbled unsteadily in his stationary bowl chair. The three stone-faced casino guards surrounding him were ignoring his apparently very desperate ooze-speak that declared according to her Polyglot the state of his current finances. A smiling female drow was nodding and listening with an attentive ear until the Ooze finished speaking. Once silence had descended on ...

After finishing her chocolate cake, Eve pondered what to do. She no longer required sleep, but it was still rather enjoyable. On the other hand, sampling the nightlife in another world was something only possible in fiction until now. Shifting her clothing to a comfortable set of high-class robes lined in silver embroidery depicting Felix, Kudzu, Nota, and the Hut in miniature she took care creating a wonderful witch’s hat with a crooked pointy tip. Dressed in the style she waved her card t...

Eve was satisfied. Purple was either smart or out of the loop, but she was willing to bet it was the former. He seemed like the kind of person to weigh all his options before committing to a course of action. Granted, he was still a horny teenager, and the glances he gave both girls were anything but hidden. Those desperate urges from a young man were not really a problem though, as Eve planned to take both the boys to a high-class brothel in the future. If basic training had taught her anyth...

Ike Malacite, or Purple as he was now, stepped forward before pulling a large pouch from his robes. Kneeling he opened the pouch before presenting his offering with raised palms and a bowed head. The entire endeavor had been fraught with peaks and valleys. He had developed no less than two brand new techniques over the entire process of acquisition. One was a poisonous touch that stimulated the opposite gender, which he named Heaven’s Feather. The second was a vile...

Eve simply made a slight change to her apparel allowing the adventurer’s plate to be visible before walking into the restaurant. The severe looking hostess holding the fort behind her podium took one glance at the flashing metal plate before giving Eve a warm smile.

The curtains were exquisitely enchanted to reduce sound, block mana emissions, and remove distinguishable shadows.

Eve sat opposite Ping Chun in a luxurious office clearly designed to impress. She waited patiently for the bank manager to finish pulling paperwork from various drawers. The split between magical scrolls on the right and elemental sprites in crystal balls on the left caused Eve to wonder if there was a design firm that did high-end offices. The two-sided split was the same as Guildmaster Bookworm’s office, if slightly different in actual items involved.

Eve had built her Zun with a characteristic that some would find wrong, but which she quite enjoyed. Every disguise has a single characteristic that stand out overshadowing the discrepancies. It was a character failing that many of the best rogues had, and she played it to the hilt.
