Alan Marris
I was finally back in my bas- I mean towe- home. I was back home in the Brownspear Barony. I would have to leave again soon if only to show myself for the former king’s funeral and ascertain whether or not I was going to have to do something drastic.
“Master!”
I stopped and turned to my left.
Ah. Right. I forgot.
See, a lot of my acolytes weren’...

Awaken and Real pounded at my head. It hurt!
“Wha…?”
Then my head exploded in pain like someone took two sledgehammers and struck my head from two sides!
“Stop it!” I screamed as I fell down and convulsed on the floor. Everything hurt!
I could feel Acausal Horror screeching at the two new words. It pulsated with the void, threatening to de...

Victor
Life was not fair, and he understood that perfectly. After all, the original never imagined that he would ever wake up as a clone of himself with the full knowledge that the clone existed solely to be a victim.
It was something that the original would have turned away from on principle … but then again, the original was no longer the same original as the one who left home. 2023-07-01 08:59:16 +0000 UTC View Post
Vice Bunker

It took a while for me to understand what had happened.
The first two floors of the bunker, which had been renovated from regular living sublevels to defense sublevels, had been utterly crushed by a cave-in, and it happened because a meteorite the size of a car had landed close to my bunker. Not directly on top of it but just three hundred yards from the entrance was very close.

As the caravan made its way to his home, John felt ... odd.
This would be the first time he would be going back home in years, and he couldn’t help but feel complicated.
He would be returning home, after all, with the man who burned his father to death. He still fondly remembered his father, and if it hadn’t been for the Unruly Year, then he might eve...

She didn’t like how Yor was pushing the kids, both younger and older, to their limits. It felt cruel!

Wouldn’t she do that if it meant her future familia members would come back home safe...

The town that the princess (?) was staying at was actually a boon for me. It’s one thing to collect herbs by myself in the wild but it’s another, and much easier, to buy them from local herbalists.

Yor recognized something among the adventurers that dove into the dungeon that was the same in other people in other fields. Successful adventurers had a different mindset from those who were not.
This mindset came down to three components: knowledge, perception, and attitude.
None of the orphans had any of these. Sure, some of them might be street-smart. Some of them might ...
