Being President was not the glorious job that it sounded like when you were a kid. There was a lot of work involved. Long days dealing with politicians, religious leaders, and corporate overlords, all of whom thought that the world revolved around them, and their agendas, both abroad and at home...
2022-06-22 17:17:47 +0000 UTC View PostOnce I’d delivered Kang back at Beijing, and we were out of Chinese airspace, I sent a message to Kou through GodNet, requesting that, when her priest came to Earth, that they seek out the Monkey King. I made sure to give her the basic information about what was going on, and warned ...
2022-06-21 21:50:14 +0000 UTC View PostBrigadier Stanley Brown frowned as he read the documents. It was bad enough that the proper running of his base had been thrown into disarray by the influx of soldiers from across the Armed Forces. Bad enough that he had what older generations wouldn’t hesitate to call unholy abominations walking ...
2022-06-16 19:43:06 +0000 UTC View PostRachel frowned as she looked around. “This is…”
“Yeah, I agree.” I shook my head in disgust as we finished clearing the fourth floor of the dungeon. This place had started fucky and gotten worse, fast.
Fighting our way through the dungeon...
2022-06-15 21:45:36 +0000 UTC View PostAs the Monkey King took up his gifts with hoots of pleasure, I smiled, and said, “Oh, Great Sage! If you look upon my gifts kindly, would you not also hear the counsel I have to offer you? For the world of the System is strange and different from the world of myths and legends th...
2022-06-14 20:59:10 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a cloudy day, as I stood on the training field at Stirling Lines, home of the United Kingdom’s Special Air Service. The SAS was playing host to the training camp I had agreed to. Because of that, one third of the troops being trained were SAS, equivalent to five full teams. The other ...
2022-06-09 21:02:38 +0000 UTC View PostYou have entered the Iahab Allah dungeon.
The dungeon core has sensed a dungeon foe in the dungeon.
Stepping through the edge of the dungeon’s influence confirmed a few things. First, a dungeon didn’t automatically recognize dungeon foes. On the...
2022-06-09 00:19:25 +0000 UTC View PostAnd so it happened that the Bloodhawk, manned by my loyal soldiers, picked up an emissary from the Chinese government when we landed briefly at the airport in Beijing. His name was Kang Wei, and he was dressed in a formal Zhongshan suit. As he stepped onto the ship, I took a moment...
2022-06-07 21:05:25 +0000 UTC View PostTatsumi had been quite amused by the ‘gift box’ that I had sent the Americans, containing the bodies of their two men, the tracking devices they were hoping to use, and a note. Of course, technically the Americans were still alive, since all I’d done to them was steal their souls. Autonomi...
2022-06-02 20:23:12 +0000 UTC View PostNormally, the process of arranging a royal visit to a foreign country would be full of all kinds of negotiations and arrangements that could take months. Security concerns, travel routes, itineraries, and so on. Not to mention making sure that the guards who come with a head of state play nicel...
2022-06-01 21:43:00 +0000 UTC View PostIt took more than one call, of course. Flying a ship like the Bloodhawk into not just Chinese airspace, but over the mainland of China itself was not something that you could just do on a whim, and the Chinese government was loath to actually allow it, for obvious reasons. My ship was...
2022-05-31 21:02:51 +0000 UTC View PostAs I was leaving the meeting at Phantomline, I ‘coincidentally’ ran across Koyama Shijo, the member of the Magical Affairs Department that had helped Phantomline out with the magical creature-specific CADs, and observed my use of foci, during my initial work at Phantomline. As it just so ...
2022-05-26 19:56:05 +0000 UTC View PostTwo months after the end of the pirate attack, we were finally ready for the first immigrants to start coming to Ceres. We hadn’t been idle in that time, of course. The construction work was still ongoing, but it had passed the point to where people could start moving in.

2022-05-25 19:26:43 +0000 UTC View PostArranging to meet the Monkey King was going to be far more challenging than arranging my meeting with Susanoo. And I didn’t have any high hopes that the ‘Great Sage Equaling Heaven’ would be as reasonable as God of Storms was. After all, no one does half the things that Sun Wukong did in t...
2022-05-24 21:46:29 +0000 UTC View Post“Ah, Kaori-chan, I’m glad you’re here!”
“Otōsaaan!” I mock-whined at my father, as one might when being called ‘chan’, despite being over fifty years old. But, then, one’s family is one of the few who could do that.
My father just laughed, and waved off ...
2022-05-19 22:19:24 +0000 UTC View PostSamiess looked pleased that I had named her assault shuttle variant after her, but she quickly shook her head to clear those thoughts, and continued with the briefing. “To start, the System separates warships into several categories, based on size and function. These categori...
2022-05-18 22:11:36 +0000 UTC View Post“Who dares call me to these foreign shores?”
With a roar, thunder and lightning crashed before me, and was made manifest. The first thing I noticed of the god was long black hair, running wild and untamed in the wind. He was dressed in traditional Japanese clothes, ...
2022-05-17 15:14:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been two months since my trainees had proven themselves, and received the rank of Novice. Kinjo had returned to his shrine, and Makoto returned to his school, where they would spread what they knew to the others there. I did not doubt that they would continue training. My hope was tha...

2022-05-12 19:56:51 +0000 UTC View PostOf course, while GodNet existed, not every god was a part of it. After all, you couldn’t join until you had met another god. My own experience had proved that much.
However, a search of GodNet showed that the Earth section was full of placeholder sections for the various gods. Ther...

2022-05-05 13:34:15 +0000 UTC View PostThe good thing about going public like I had was that instead of searching for talent, the talent was coming to me. My email was literally flooded with resumes and requests, from all over the world. I definitely had my pick of the best of the best.
If I could identify who was the best, that...
2022-05-04 14:56:19 +0000 UTC View PostWith Mercy’s permission, I stepped out of the small radius that my shrine covered, and into her dungeon. I needed her permission first, of course, because otherwise that would be an invasion, and spark a dungeon war. And neither of us wanted that.
We walked in silence, a study in oppos...

I could use another pawn, one with almost no connection to magic, but who had connections to the student body at the University. I could definitely use her.
But did I wan...
