Kyo was pondering a terrible truth about the universe at large. She knew about the vastness of reality from her big sister. It was something that occupied her thoughts after the incident with Mr. Clay. Talos had taken to drinking a weird-smelling substance after learning the garden was filled with blood-hungr...
2022-12-09 05:43:45 +0000 UTC View PostMatt’s form shifted as he stepped out of the shadows. Where once stood a living legend, only a merely handsome man remained. A sharp suit in purple, gold and black wreathed his form. He added the customary touches like a pocket watch made of stolen moments and cufflinks crafted from glittering mermaid tears. The shoes shine...
2022-12-07 06:25:10 +0000 UTC View PostEve stared at the self-professed battlemage with incredulity. Grey Chime claimed to be on a mission of vengeance to repay the twisting of a Pact. He’d given her the titles of the two Daedric Princes, so she’d applied them to her memory. The Prince of Pride ruled Iceharbor, while the Prince of Destruction ...
2022-12-05 10:26:53 +0000 UTC View Post“Innocent!” Kyo said. Talos raised one eyebrow, and she went on the attack, pointing to the culprit. “Mr. Clay, guilty!” She used impeccable logic, pointing to the still charcoal floating party.
“Mr. Clay?” Talos said with both eyebrows raised now.
Kyo nodded and said,...

In a massive pocket dimension, two immortal beings sat scribbling. The chairs and double desk spoke of luxury, being that they were crafted from the bones of the divine. One of the two signed a final document with a sigh before tossing it ...
2022-11-30 09:36:35 +0000 UTC View PostEve wasn’t impressed with the Deadlands. Most planes were fire, lightning, lava, or bare rock. Not a single plant un-warped by mana could be found. There were no creatures currently seen that were not either insectile, lizard, or both. She didn’t spot any food supply that would be worth eating. In short, it looked like th...
2022-11-28 10:54:36 +0000 UTC View PostBeing reborn was not the adventure Thomas had been expecting. It had become quite clear during his nine-month imprisonment in the darkness why people feared it. It was a base instinct built into their existence from birth. He had wanted to practice magic, but the System didn’t unlock this world until after an individual was...

2022-11-27 06:58:47 +0000 UTC View PostKyo scrunched up her face. Even after the suspiciously quiet Demon Brick had caused her to float, she was still too short. The mansion door handles remained a nemesis that required additional height to defeat. Previously she could jump to beat them, but now that she was hovering, that wasn’t an option anymo...

2022-11-21 13:14:19 +0000 UTC View PostThomas stared across the fake wooden table at the hooded figure. The Hood didn’t move. He didn’t even appear to be breathing. That implied a mastery of this not-real space that was rather impressive. Putting thought into action, Thomas realized he could stop breathing, too, without any issue.
Interesting. T...
2022-11-21 12:08:33 +0000 UTC View PostCharlotte stepped through the sanctuary door with a deep frown on her face.

2022-11-16 05:25:28 +0000 UTC View PostEve's first rule for dealing with magical science was to throw out most of the other rules she’d learned. Mana-based science had weird interactions directly based on the Laws. The fundamental rules of her new reality were written in the Laws that underlay everything. This meant the possibilities of error were directly propo...
2022-11-14 07:17:54 +0000 UTC View PostThomas stared at the walls around him that were plastered in pure white. They were so bright and vibrant that they appeared to glow with luminescence. He innately knew they were not stone, as his link to the Earth Element informed him. A few tests of breathing, push-ups, and punching made him decide it might be a prison. His ...

2022-11-13 00:55:20 +0000 UTC View PostCharlotte watched the demoness sink into her shadow, like dropping through a pool of liquid water. It was disturbing like learning reality didn’t conform to general understanding. As long as Ralph was healed and returned, it wouldn’t matter. However, during the intermediate time, things might get a little dicey.
