“Leave us,” Mengele ordered.
The soldier saluted and immediately stepped away from the door. It snapped shut automatically behind him, leaving them in the room aboard the ship.
Immediately, Mengele began to pace up and down. The thick, luxurious carpet ate the sound of his steps, much like the enc...
2023-11-20 12:15:15 +0000 UTC View PostIt had only been a few days ago that John had sat at this roundtable.
The mighty oaken construct was separated into ten segments. Nine of them were marked by the iconography of the member of the Divided Gates that sat at its end. Romulus of the Sons of Rome, Lydia of Rex Germaniae, Eglystas of Prometheus, C...

“I got you after the first repetition,” John answered in similarly hushed tones.
The two of them were walking thro...

The universal discomfort inside the protective barrier was palpable. That everyone else felt it in the presence of the strongest pariah to walk the Earth was expected. That John felt fear when beholding his Nia, that bothered him.
But he could not help it. Mantled in a grey cloak, she hovered like a ghost a...
2023-11-15 03:11:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe Father of Arcane waved his hand again, scattering prismatic stars in the wake of his motion. They flew, deceptively slow, towards their target. Feet drew little circles in the open space, writing the first of many runes. All over the Illusion Barrier, runic formations appeared, immediately opening up to creat...
2023-11-13 15:51:16 +0000 UTC View PostNia could feel the terror in the air. On one side of the teleporter, it was the fear of those that did not know what would come to be. On the other side of the teleporter, it was the uncertain shivers of those that had come to view the match directly. The whole leadership of the Divided Gates, including her darli...
2023-11-11 23:14:54 +0000 UTC View PostNathalia gently brushed the hair back on Eliana’s head. It was the third time she had done it and it wasn’t for any purpose besides touching the pretty little psycho ever so carefully. John stood behind her, the two of them the only ones by the hospital bed.

Orkos was dragging himself to the teleporter, sometimes stopping, having forgotten where he currently was. ‘Seriously, what the fuck? Wow, can you be any meaner to the old and retarded, you utter cunt?’

2023-11-09 19:59:55 +0000 UTC View PostJohn did not even think about it when Rave pulled him and Undine along. The slime girl patched up the remaining wounds and then they went to town on the victorious techno lover. They kept the strategic talk and the head scratches for after they were done with her. Which, by harem standards, they did very quickly....

“Ew,” Rave grumbled, before going through the usual motions of getting her good-luck kisses from the gathered harem. Before long, she was down by the teleporter. Karia arrived around the same time....
2023-11-06 00:29:24 +0000 UTC View PostThere was nothing to be done with the rest of the day. The tournament was put on hold. It wasn’t cancelled, membership of the Divided Gates remained beyond the bounds of moral action. There was a line where someone was terrible enough that they’d just get crushed by everyone else, but that was a tall order. T...
2023-11-04 16:36:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe investigation was not televised.
John had originally wanted to push for the event to be public, but the Great Sultanate, the Illuminati, and the Purest Front had all given vehement pushback, with Prometheus and the Sons of Rome joining their concerns. Alfonse de Trastamare had a hand in many a covert op...
2023-11-03 15:35:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Jesus,” John exclaimed when he saw the state of his ship.
There was a hole blown into the hull, about the size of a man, near his quarters. The corridors all around were marked with the dragging marks from Tiemarath, as well as other signs of violence. The gore, for the most part, had been frozen. Chun...
2023-11-02 19:35:24 +0000 UTC View PostThis was supposed to be just another job.
‘Shit, fuck, shit, shit!’ Alfonse thought. He pressed himself into the gap between two supply crates. His cloaking magic covered the two other men with him. The soldiers of the Purest Front, men that he had worked with before, looked like they were about to lose...

From the moment she saw the manoeuvrability of his enemy, paired with his warning regarding her ability, she knew that his loss was inevitable. It was not a cherished thought and part of her hoped he would find a way to turn this...

I love you, I loveyou, iloveyouIloveyouIloveyouI…” Claire’s chatter echoed in the tiny chamber and likely into the corridors beyond. There was not a single care John had for that fact.

2023-10-26 08:09:27 +0000 UTC View PostSalamander, Gnome and the Creator Puppet rushed right back towards Malot. The backwards bent spine snapped back upwards, soul and body overlapping – for the most part. Four hands were thrust out, creating a scattershot blast that drove all three combatants back.

Nightingale hummed at this. Her feathers connected to the surrounding shade through an ethereal curtain of misty black. Even though the room had no door, the isolation surrounding it was more absolute than most things John had ever encountered....
2023-10-21 12:27:11 +0000 UTC View PostJohn returned from his stay in the inner city to a fairly normal scene. The vacation mood was dwindling a bit, with the serious ongoings and the general restlessness many of the girls had when they weren’t doing anything. Consequently, the unified hangout by the beach had halfway dissolved. Many of the girls st...

“Which ‘over there’ do you mean?” the Gamer returned a question of his own. “This ‘over there’?” He gestured at the table he was sharing with Lydia and Undine. The queen and the slime enjoyed some cool drinks over convers...

2023-10-17 22:55:31 +0000 UTC View PostJohn found himself in a district on the far outskirts of Rome. The day was still strong, the summer sun clinging onto its influence with the usual determination for this time of year. It was primetime for commercial activity, the afternoon slowly transitioning into the cooler evening hours. Despite that, this par...

John hesitated only for a moment. His eyes darted to the remainder of the crowd and the two others of himself among his haremettes. They wouldn’t miss one of him if he gave his second maid some time to h...

The images on the screens were blurry. They cut out and stabilized again. The form of Nia was an approximation. A reconstructed image of the pariah’s missing presence in the footage. A whole squad of mages worked steadily towards that single goal, fighting off the headaches any inspection of...

A mask of stainless Mithril, shaped into the unmoving form of a stern man’s face, looked at her. The two eyes were orbs of grains, endlessly flowing towards rings of focused energy. His hair was as slicked back as arcane strands could be, resembling the leader of the Purest Front.

“I’ll be the judge of that,” John mumbled, continuing to run his analytics as best he could. He did not have all the tools he would have liked to have for the job. Watching her very closely through the mental connection would have to suffice. 2023-10-10 15:42:57 +0000 UTC View Post
