Todays Alpha Strike Chapters are out

Enjoy!

(AS) B3 - Lesson 28: “A Deal With The Devil."

Alpha banked the [Wasp] drone hard as he shot over the rooftops, the city below reduced to a blur of red tile, pale banners, and glinting spearheads. Thankfully, he had sent a drone toward Maggy’s position as soon as she had contacted him, allowing him to begin gathering situation data before the others arrived.

From his elevated vantage, the plaza in front of the western Prima Temple boiled with violence. Smoke and sunlight tangled above the chaos; bodies lie around ...

(WLTK) B2 - Chapter 28: "All Those Who Wander."

Jeremiah moved through the deepening green, shoulders hunched beneath the weight of growing disappointment. The forest pressed in, its hush broken only by the soft crunch of his boots and the distant whirr of Billy’s bubble gliding overhead. They had been at this for over an hour, threading between trunks and over tangled roots, searching for some sign of a suitable companion. But, as last time, luck seemed to have abandoned him at the threshold of the woods.

He had tried everything h...

All Chapters Updates

All chapters - both today's Alpha Strike, and yesterday's WLTK - have been fully updated for all tiers.

(AS) B3 - Lesson 27: “Family Reunions Are The Worst."

The drone’s wings hummed with a low, steady buzz as it hovered in the rafters of the newly repurposed building. Sunlight streamed in through wide, arched windows, catching in motes of dust and black-threaded nanites dancing in orchestrated patterns through the air. Below, the floor was alive with movement — liquid steel flexing and shaping itself into sleek shelving units, counters folding themselves into place like obedient origami, wall panels unspooling from storage cores like scrolls....

(WLTK) B2 - Chapter 27: "Gotta Catch Them All."

Sorry about that, everyone. I posted the wrong version of this chapter. This should be the right one now.
♛———♛—————————♛———♛

Jeremiah slumped onto the rough wooden steps of the Safe Area cabin, his breath fogging faintly in the cool green air. Sunlight filtered down through the ancient trees, dappling the clearing with shifting coins of gold and shadow. Billy, still encased in his shimmering water bubble, whirled lazy circuits ...

WLTK chapter tomorrow

I had a small emergency and Im just getting home. So the chapter will be tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay.

(AS) B3 - Lesson 26: “Always Be On Call."

The nurse’s footsteps echoed faintly as she guided Dr. Maria down a short, plush-carpeted hallway, the muffled din of the Pavilion’s main lobby fading behind a thick oak door. With a practiced smile and an edge of tiredness, the nurse ushered Maria.

“The doctor will see you shortly. Please, rest while you wait.”

Maria nodded, and the nurse softly shut the door behind her.

As the nurse’s footsteps faded down the corridor, Dr. Maria let herself sink onto the velvet-c...

WLTK chapters are out!

Enjoy!

(WLTK) B2 - Chapter 26: "They See Me Roamin'..."

The Tutorial Zone has been retroactively renamed “the Testing Grounds” on the suggestion of a few people, as it fits better with its purpose and generally sounds nicer. I’ve tried to hit every instance in previous chapters, but I'm sure I missed some.

Jeremiah approached the edge of the clearing, boots sinking into the moss as he squinted through the wavering green at the place where the light thinned...

Alpha Strike Chapters are out

I Know this one's been a mess recently, but I finally finished reorganizing my notes and got it back on tract where I wanted it to.

(AS) B3 - Lesson 25: “The Art Of The Deal."

Sunlight slanted through the cracked glass, painting faint, shifting patterns across the battered counter of the Verdant Crucible. Dust motes drifted in lazy spirals above the rows of mostly-empty shelves. The lingering scents of dried herbs, faint acid, and simmered roots hung in the air, undercut by the sharper tang of desperation. Outside, Halirosa’s street noise hummed — a faint counterpoint to the tension swirling in the shop.

Hugo stood at the heart of the cluttered shop, boot...

(WLTK) B2 - Chapter 25: "A Dream Of Adventure."

Sunlight filtered through a dense canopy of tangled leaves and trailing vines, painting shifting patterns across a narrow path of moss and ancient stone that vanished into shadow. Warm air drifted through the forest, rustling the edge of a doormat woven from living, interlocked roots. Somewhere high above, birds sang in strange, fluting calls, while the thick, humid air pulsed with the steady drone of unseen insects.

Jeremiah hesitated at the threshold, eyes flicking to Mero. Part of hi...

Alpha Strike chapters are coming... its just fighting back. + Poll

I've had to totally rewrite the next arc, as I realize I'd been using my notes from the OLD version orz.

Its not a huge shift, but it does mean I can't use what I was going to.

THAT SAID, there's one aspect I'm thinking of keeping. But I figured this is a good place to ask.

So to those readers who know;

Would you like to see the D.U.C.K System again?

Jeremiah pinned the cardboard sign to the shop’s front door.

CLOSED TODAY FOR MAINTENANCE — SEE YOU TOMORROW!

The black marker bled a little, but the letters were bold and clear. He hesitated, then a...

The last of the day’s gold pressed against the Menagerie’s windows, painting long shadows across the scuffed floorboards as Jeremiah worked a damp rag in broad, practiced circles across the cafe counter. His new uniform jacket wa...

Alpha Strike Chapters are out! (+ Yesterday's WLTK)

Chapters have been updated for all tiers.

Someone also mentioned yesterday's WLTK chapters didn't get released properly for tiers under Field Commander, so those should be available now as well.

(AS) B3 - Lesson 24: “An Eye For Business."

The shop’s air was thick with incense and dust, the haze catching in the shaft of sunlight that fought its way through a grimy window. Shelves lined the walls in ramshackle tiers, every surface cluttered with old spirit talismans, cracked pottery, and yellowed scrolls bundled in rough string. Behind the battered wooden counter, a tired man hunched over a ledger, his hair sticking up at odd angles, stubble grown out to a rough dusk shadow. Heavy-lidded eyes squinted through a set of brass-ri...

(WLTK) B2 - Chapter 22: "Calculated Exposure."

This WAS going to be a fight chapter, but one of my beta readers pointed out it doesn't make much sense given the type of character is supposed to be (He's stubborn, prideful and arrogant, but not stupid or reckless, either).

So instead this became more of a "first meeting" chapter. They're gonna get their rematch, don't worry. Just want it to be more impactful and important.

(AS) B3 - Lesson 23: “The Turning Of Gears."

Hugo let his gaze linger for a moment longer as the bruised, still-snoring card shark was hauled out of the gutter, two city guards grumbling about “damn drunks” and “worthless dice-rats.” The tavern’s lantern light caught in the haze as the door swung shut behind them, leaving only the thick scent of spilled ale and the mutter of late drinkers in their wake.

He turned away from the Ragpicker’s Den, boots squelching in the city’s evening muck, and ducked into the narrower ...

(WLTK) B2 - Chapter 21: "Escalation."

Lewis sat cross-legged on the floor of the Mystical Menagerie’s cafe, sunlight spilling in golden slats across the tile. Around him, the puppies tumbled in a delighted frenzy — Tosh barking as Tish darted beneath a cafe chair, launching themselves at squeaky toys with all the heedless energy of youth. Lewis grinned, rubbing Milo’s ears as the old hound rumbled contentedly beside him. It was Sunday, the only truly quiet day the Menagerie had, and with the store officially closed, he’d ...

All chapters have been updated!

Remember to expect another Alpha strike chapter this week, as well on Saturday to make up for the missed chapter last week.

Jeremiah leaned back, the chair’s old wood groaning beneath his weight, and let his eyes wander through the sunlit hush of the Menagerie. Gold light streamed in through the front windows, pooling across polished floors and washing the shelves in gentle warmth. He cradled his empty mug, the ceramic still holding a trace of heat, as if some small...

Alpha Strike chapters posted.

I'm still a chapter behind, but I'm looking to make that up this Sat.

(AS) B3 - Lesson 21: “Meanwhile."

Garrelt stood stiff as a board, shoulders squared and boots planted just so, but his fingers flexed against the seams of his trousers as if he couldn’t quite decide what to do with his hands. The polished surface of Yon Stonewall’s desk reflected the glow of the morning spirit-lamps, casting a long, warped shadow behind Garrelt — one he tried, and failed, not to fidget in. Across from him, the Guildmaster himself was a study in composed disarray: hulking arms folded tight across ...

Chapters updated!

Feeling a lot better after seeing the doc! The meds really help, hahahah!

That said, changers for the day are out, with a little surprise for Field Commanders.
