Sog stood on top of an obsidian building, gazing down at the pair of large demons who stood outside a door in an alley. “So this is the place? You’re certain?”
Voktraz nodded and adjusted her suit. “You do realize I have the ability to oversee the entire city and what all the citizens do? Nothing takes place that I am not aware of. It’s a shame you’ll only get me on this world and none of the others.”
“Why is that?”
“Because, if you don’t learn to watch...

“Trina said you realize you’re ruining our reputation,” Derrek growled. “Father’s on his way. You’re going to regret believing you belong here.”
Choosing to ignore the obvious attempt at provoking him, Francis followed his brother’s back, content to watch the bustling of students who moved in every direction.
The one thing he noticed more than anything was how the few women who were out were always in packs. None of them walked in groups smaller ...

Max stared out over the city, the light of the torches flickering as Tanila sat beside him.
“You really think that’s what they meant?” Tanila asked. “That you would have been better off without us after the tower?”
“I don’t think it was about me,” Max replied, squeezing her hand that he held. “I think it was because they knew what it would put you at risk of. For all of you.”
“Look at me,” she said.
He turned and saw her gold eyes glowing ...

Francis cracked his neck before the fight began. He pressed his boot against the stone beneath, glad it didn’t feel slick.
Captain Lucan looked relaxed, thumb idly rubbing the guard on his sword. His padded armor looked well-worn, yet there wasn’t a single fray or mark on it.
Francis moved first, knowing this was what his instructor was hoping for. Kels had done the same, letting Francis show what he had before the real training could begin.

Max’s blood dripped all over, sliding off the feathers he couldn’t grasp with his fingers. Bob had figured out he could use magic to remove them but it required them to stay still and not dodge as he currently was.
It appears he’s slowing down on that feather attack. It’s been over fifteen seconds since he last used it.
We need him to land. I can’t lock him in place without showing more of our abilities.

The dining hall was loud and chaotic as men and the occasional group of women ate dinner.
Francis had simply followed the crowd when the bell sounded, chuckling to himself when Derrek hadn’t appeared like the rest.
God, that felt so good…
Multiple stations with a variety of food were set up. Having simply copied the rest, Francis had two plates filled with different meats, vegetables, fruits, and bread.
He found a table off away from mos...

“You were that much outclassed?” Sog asked, his eyes widening. “By an owl?”
“One's race doesn’t dictate their power,” Jazzjak said. “But if the owl was truthful and he was a tier four god, then I wonder what path he took.”
“What do you mean?” Fowl asked. “He told Max to take a path similar to the one we’re following.”

The position of the sun had surprised Francis. It was not as high as it had been when he left the army. Upon mentioning it to Kaelith, who was leading him across a large stone courtyard, the man sighed.
“You do realize that the sun and our world… no… obviously you don’t, otherwise you wouldn’t ask that question. How… how did you convince the General and the King to send you here if you don’t even know how the sun works around the kingdom and the rest of ...

Hey all - not trying to be silent on the comments - just been a crazy week.
Our family has a history of A-Fib (I've had 2 proceedures and they've done well). Our 3rd son started having some racing heart stuff, we tossed his apple watch on. After watching him and it for a bit, we spoke with a dr and ended up getting a heart monitor device for him to wear for 2 weeks.

Cold wind whipped against Max’s face, and yet he didn’t even feel it. Beneath him was a world that he had only visited briefly years ago to see what it contained.
Large reefs absorbed giant waves that crashed into them before rushing against the stone cliffs that rose a mile into the sky. He could smell the salt, and a hint of something else he hadn’t yet figured out. Birds were everywhere.
There was a city carved into the stone mountain and alo...

He had wanted to scream as they moved through the magical gate, yet no sound escaped his throat.
One moment, they were in that tent, and the next, his boots met solid stone. It took a second for his eyes to adjust, but there, across from him, was a young boy, fourteen, if he was lucky, in a brown robe, staring wide-eyed at them.
“You… welcome! I shall announce your presence!”
“Wait!”
Even though Francis shouted, the boy exited through the w...

“So a world is revolting against me?” Max asked.
“Not the world, just the other gods on it,” Jazzjak replied, motioning to the image displayed on the wall. “As you can see, it is the planet we named Naga Reef. Four gods and the lives you are responsible for are over 50% gone since yesterday.”
A few grunts came from his friends, who were all still dressed in their outfits from the party they had just left an hour ago.

The sound of the morning bell called out.
"It's earlier than usual," Michael grunted as he sat up. "What gives?"
“Just another day in paradise,” Francis replied, sitting up and grabbing his boots. “Let’s get moving. Today’s going to be fun.”
Ignoring the grunt from his brother, Francis considered the fight just a moment ago.
Well, I know the sword can cut and do actual damage, but I’m still not strong or fast enough to last against ...

Seven gods stood side by side. Each of them was dressed in their official god garb. They looked like a dazzling display of power and majesty, wearing the armor they had worn to defeat the tower. Each piece radiated with a power that none in this world yet could fathom.
On a small platform below them stood the five Kings and Queens from each kingdom. They too were dressed in fine clothes, weapons and jewelry on display.
Surrounding them all was a half-mile amph...

“By what?”
“You, Francis. You’re a ninth son, gifted with something incredible, yet instead of using it for your own gains, you have risked your life, endured death multiple times and tried to find a way to stop… this.”
Francis shrugged as the general waved his hands all around them. “I told you: all I care about is my brother. In order for him to rema...

“Those are some very specific questions, Sage Francis,” Kels said. “None of which I expected if I’m honest.”
Francis shrugged and held up another sword from the training area closer to his face to inspect it. “I understand, but there are things that not even I can see, and one of them is where to find a quality sword that won’t break against enemies with thick hides or armor. The sword you and General Stenson have is not of the typical quality, if I’m ...

Max chuckled as Miranna activated her Ultimate form. Knowing the restrictions of it, he had made sure she was wearing magical armor.
Before him stood an almost twelve-foot-tall version of his daughter. Her silver armor seemed to glow, catching the morning sunlight as she moved around the training area.
“I feel… amazing!” she yelled, while doing a backflip.
“Don’t get dependent upon it,” Max called out. “Remember, that ability is designed to be your ...

The walls vanished, and sound rushed over him. Tanila’s golden eyes were fixed upon him, her head moving up and down once more before she opened her mouth.
Max didn’t hesitate, racing toward his daughter, avoiding the smashed baked goods and other party decorations strewn around them.
Batrire’s eyes flew open, her hands still glowing as a gasp came from Miranna. “She–”

Francis spat, shaking his head, and then took a deep breath.
“You’re not winning as easily as you were,” he muttered, eyes locked on the rhino-kin that struggled to move its left leg.
It felt weird; 78 deaths had passed, yet Francis was slowly climbing the impossible mountain before him. Multiple loops, a single blow was all it took to end his life. He had to learn to read the beast’s movements better and avoid its attacks while trying to bleed his oppon...

Max set down the four hundredth and twenty-eightth book he had read. The stack had grown so large that Bob had summoned more earth before they eventually descended to the floor of this summoning spell. After that, Max just stacked them on the kaleidoscope floor. Multiple times, the demon had caused the ground to shake, knocking over the neat stacks he had made. Almost a week of nonstop mayhem like that had passed before the god gave up that tactic.
This game is not like the pr...

Zachary had taken them to a small shed behind the forge and motioned for them to stay put until he returned. Francis was in awe of the number of swords crammed into barrels. He took one out and inspected it, recognizing it as the one all the other initiate fighters had been given on the battlefield.
“I can see it in your eyes,” Phillip said. “You know those aren’t that great of a blade. How is that possible?”

“A gold coin…” Michael’s voice was so low that Francis had barely heard it. “We… we could run.”
“But we wouldn’t make it far without trouble. Besides, I told you that it doesn’t matter. This war has to be won—if it’s not, I’m certain all the kingdoms will fall and you’ll die. None of this matters if you’re not alive.”

Max ignored the booming laughter that came from the demon that filled the kaleidoscope space. Bob had flown him to eye level, almost two miles above the ground beneath them. A single pulsing red eye blinked once as Max hovered there, weapons drawn.
“Put those tiny things away,” the demon boomed. “I didn’t know what you were then, but I do now. It’s not foolish enough to try and fight me. Not even a black skill is that hungry or thirsty to risk certain death.”

“What seems to be the problem?” Phillip asked.
“This boy has obviously stolen some money!” Dexter said. “He wants to bet ten silver on himself! Where could a piece of trash like him get ten silver?”
