Greed God chapter 212

April 9th 2016 Brightedge City, Undercity, 9:00 PM EDT

We  didn't get attacked on the way to the castle. Sindara summoned her  demiliches to light our way, and the undead simply turned away from  them. I saw some weird monsters. Not just zombies and vampires, but a  ...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 323

The next day, we decided to come in and watch Lament and Wren's  match. They were set up in a different arena, but they were in the  second day's lineup, so were able to come watch their fight. Zeke  actually came along too for some reason, and I was curious as to why. As  we settled into wait for the matc...

July 4th 2016 Castle Bat, 10:00 PM EDT

We  headed out of the castle at top speed as soon as we found the others.  Of course, there was no need to stick around. I could see the clones  being suppressed, as we ran, the trap closing in. Zee's protections were  fucking stellar, but they ...

"Well  this seems...excessive." I said, staring up at the palatial mansion. It  wasn't the size really, I'd been in bigger. I was a Frost after all.  No, the thing that struck me most about the mansion was that since this  was New Yor...

April 9th 2016 Brightedge City, The Narrows, 8:00 PM EDT

I  admit, I was a bit annoyed the method to kill Lilith was some special  object. I'd really been hoping there would be a spell or a convenient  weakness I could exploit instead being forced to spend probably a &nbs...

July 4th 2016 Castle Bat, 9:00 PM EDT

I  held up a hand after about five minutes of walking down the steps to  the dungeons. Honestly, who needed a fucking prison this deep under a  castle? This was just fucking superfluous. Still, the one good thing was  that it gave me plenty of ti...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 322

As soon as Mel finished taking down the lightning caller, Callie was  at my side in a flash. "Solomon." She said worriedly. "Are you ok? Where  are you hurt?" I was confused for a second, before I realized the bond  was probably dumping an assload of agony from my brain into hers. She  saw me get stabbed a...

April 9th 2016 Brightedge City, The Narrows, 6:00 PM EDT

Tracking  down the Order was a clusterfuck, but luckily I still had the League on  speed dial. Unlike the Court they didn't have unclear motives that  would potentially end in my demise, so I had no problem calling ...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 321

Abel stopped beating us early enough that I we were able to get a few  hours of sleep. Our match was at eleven in the morning, so we had a bit  of time to rest at least, but he wouldn't let me heal us until after we  woke up. Aside from the natural healing of Vitality, he also knew the  blast of energy fro...

"So."  I said slowly. "I can't decide if not checking here first was  ridiculous, or just common sense. Because...that." I gestured broadly to  the absolutely humongous gothic castle slapped down in the middle of  this otherwise totally modern cit...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 320

"This sucks." My girlfriend groaned as she slumped down on the couch.  "I'm an Ascendant. A powerful G-ranker who is probably going to hit  F-rank before I turn nineteen, and I have to WORK to make money to pay  my own boyfriend. I became a superhero to avoid this kind of nonsense. I  hate hunting monsters...

April 9th 2016 Brightedge City, Hall of Nevers, 10:00 AM EDT

Barbie  lasted the whole night, which was nice. I'd expected her to pass out  halfway through. Being an E ranker clearly gave her a serious boost. She  did end up going to fuck Donna like I told her, but not aft...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 319

Waking up the next morning, I was incredibly exhausted. Between  helping Callie schmooze 'randoms' as Carl called them, and training (I  absolutely wasn't going to waste a chance to train my soul strength  nigh-limitlessly) my brain was fried, and I was still tired when I woke  up. Not physically tired, si...

"Haha."  Said the anthropomorphic mouse kind. "Sorry about that. Almost had him.  That old ghost Luxu is a slippery one. Didn't expect the Master of  Masters to be involved in this mess." His big dark eyes were creased at  the corners from his hug...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 318

I sighed dramatically at the sight of the other man. Hard to forget  someone who threw a rope of sausage at your face during your first  patrol. "Carl." I said, not even bothering to feign enthusiasm. "So good  to...no, wait that isn't true. I see you you're here. Where's your  buddy Stephen?"

Carl &...

April 8th 2016 Brightedge City, Hall of Nevers, 6:00 PM EDT

We  got back to hall shortly after that, but I ended up spending a few  hours making calls to various sources about Lilith, and by the time I  was done it was already almost sunset. Barbie didn't complain about t...

February 15th 2001, Clair Temple's condo, 8:00 AM EDT

I  got back to Claire's place pretty early in the morning. I was  exhausted, but pretty smug. Gwen had eventually been so worn out from  all the fun that she fell asleep, and as much as I'd have liked to nap  with her (because god...

There  are a lot of ways people can hurt someone, even someone like me. Magic  can do amazing things, certain levels of brute force can ignore even my  armor, and there are plenty of weapons that can negate most forms of  defense. SHOOTING someone...

April 8th 2016 Brightedge City, Grayson Pier, 2:00 PM EDT

Naturally,  we turned that fucking house upside down. With Cherry there to scour  the halls with her ghost powers, we even found a sizable chunk of hidden  compartments. Most of them seemed to have been made recently, but the  ...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 317

The Mindbender's Ball was apparently being held at the ballroom of a  local hotel in the city. The Ventralia was an upscale hotel catering to  visiting dignitaries and high ranking Unity and WCP personnel from other  cities. Since most of the E-rankers were concentrated in Rajak, they  mostly saw F-rank vi...

July 4th 2016 Quadratum, 1:00 PM EDT

Quadratum was, as we'd seen from the rooftop, creepy as hell. Empty city streets  were different without all the signs of destruction everywhere. You  would expect it to be less eerie, but somehow the lack of damage made it  much worse. It was like the...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 316

"What the actual fuck was that?" Abel said as he strolled over. The  two ghosts he'd been fighting appeared to be sprawled on the sand  leaking some sort of mercurial substance I suspected was ghost blood. He  didn't even notice though as he stared at the spot where the dark magma  dragon that Callie and I...

April 8th 2016 Brightedge City, Grayson Pier, 1:00 PM EDT

I  turned to glare at Cherry. "You didn't think it was a good idea to MENTION the army of werewolves?" It was probably unfair, I could see  that they were fear constructs, but I was still annoyed. This was why we  did fucking recon...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 315

The next day found us reporting to one of the WAY too many arenas in  Rajak. "Seriously." I complained. "Why are there like three hundred of  these places in town? Do people not DO anything else?" I knew they did,  actually, because tons of Ascendants spent most of their day hunting  monsters for various b...

"So."  I said as we climbed aboard the gummi ship (which was much bigger than  it looked from a distance). "Quadratum. Pull up the directions. I hope  this place isn't in the Dark Multiverse. Showing up there would be a  problem for us at the...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 314

The place Alexander took us was HUGE. I was expecting something like  one of the pubs we had been to before. Something with a bar and wooden  tables and a seedy backroom feel. This new place though...it was really  upscale. It reminded me a bit of Rantano's back in Valen, but not as  obviously geared at mo...

April 8th 2016 Brightedge City, Grayson Pier, 12:00 PM EDT

"Huh."  Said Cherry from beside me. "This place is less swanky than I would  have expected. Like I know our house is pretty amazing and there was no  way it could compete, but still, I expected more than this." Most of the  g...

Wish upon the Stars chapter 313

I vaguely considered throwing fruit or something at Midknight as he  returned to talk, but that was clearly beneath my dignity, and also I  didn't have any fruit. Instead I just held Callie's hand as the armored  bastard returned to his obnoxious soliloquy. "Now." He rumbled. "As I'm  sure you know, today ...

We  obviously didn't up and leave for Quadratum at almost midnight. Merlin  took his leave, but the rest of us decided to sleep at the old house.  After informing my daughter that being unconscious did NOT count as  sleep, I and the girls wen...

February 15th 2001, Stacy Residence, 3:00 AM EDT

Finding a donut place open before the ass crack of dawn in New York was easier  than expected. Jack's Donuts was apparently an all night place, and I  even got there early enough to get them fresh rather than snag last  nights old ones. I g...
