Chapter 317

The Roman Theatre, Bosra, Syria, 1:15 AM

“I’m going to need as many details as you can provide,” I told the Oracle as I sighed, snapping away the quest complete screen from Sara now that we knew what had messed up the timeline.

Without looking up, I motioned for Mercury to come down. He was by my side in a heartbeat. The gunman flinched backwards at his sudden appearance, but was disciplined enough not to start shooting. My companion gave him an awkward wave...

Chapter 316

Bosra Station, Bosra, Syria - 12:54 AM Arabia Standard Time

Mercury flopped out of the Angel Express’ subspace depot and onto the dusty tracks. “Freedom,” he whispered in his roleplaying voice, kissing the ground through his mask. “Freedom from a whip-cracking boss who knows no mercy. Thank Marishiten for this good fortune!”

“Get up,” I said, grabbing him by the back of his ninja outfit and pulling him back onto his feet. “You had twenty minutes to...

100th Run 6 is now live!

Y'all know what it's about. You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/100th-Run-Regressors-LitRPG-Adventure-ebook/dp/B0FG93H2PJ

(And here's the blurb telling you what it's about anyway, because I worked hard on it.)

The administrators are vying for Anthony’s death, and the 100th Run seems destined to fail…

The future as Anthony Franklin knows it...

Chapter 315

The Angel Express, Calais, France - 4:23 PM Central European Time

The ride across the Atlantic Ocean was smooth and fast. Most of our speed was gained through magnetic levitation when we made our own path, but that changed once we were back on land. The Angel Express could travel without tracks for a short time, aided by what was essentially magic, but it needed to attach to something once we were in France.

I had pumped quite a few points into the safe zone, not ...

Chapter 314

The Angel Express, en route to Brest, France - 12:39 AM

From front to back, the train was set in the following order: Engine, Patron car, luxury sleeping quarters, dining car, double-decker sleeping quarters, the vault, the training car, the greenhouse, and the workshop. The sequence had changed a few times already due to requests from my team, and I happily obliged them since it didn’t take many points to swap them.

Mercury and Bethany were already asleep in th...

Chapter 313

The Angel Express, Portland, Maine - 12:23 AM

We were stopped just before a bridge crossing the Fore River as I fiddled with the Angel Express’ engine. Almost everyone else had gone to their quarters, leaving only myself, Ash, and Jamie as we took care of our business. I had work to do, while the other two were currently spending their last moments together before parting ways.

The others had already said their goodbyes to the Weapon Master, who didn’t want to...

Last chance to get a free copy of Book 6!

Edit: Sending out another ping for people who haven't gotten their hands on this yet. Book Funnel won't host this forever (unless you make an account and add the book to it) so don't forget to grab the advanced reader copy before tomorrow, when book 6 launches on Amazon!

As always, I've been given leave to offer you all the ARC for book 6 for free. Once again, I would be pleased as punch if you could leave a review on Amazon when the book drops on the 5th, but you are in no way o...

Chapter 312

The Angel Express, New York - 6:01 PM

“I can’t believe I ever trusted you,” Jamie said, her nose wrinkled as she adjusted her new shirt.

“Yeah, I’m an absolute garbage person,” I replied, trying to hide my amusement by looking out of the window. The scenery passed us by as we headed towards Maine, where we would start our journey over the Atlantic.

“I think you look fine,” Ash interjected, leaning back in her chair to look the woman over. “...

Chapter 311

The Angel Express, New York - 5:44 PM

I jumped up the moment I received Jamie’s message that our guildmates had escaped from the Emperor’s Ascent triumphantly. Not wasting any time, I used Celestial Wormhole on the dining car’s door and swung it open before backing up.

One by one, everyone started filtering in. Jeff and Kayla, Mercury and Bethany, then Ash and Jamie with Corwin in tow. It seemed the Evolution Hound had missed her, but he changed targets the ...

Chapter 310

Manhattan, New York - 3:15 PM

After my meeting with Sara, I walked around New York City while disguised. It was honestly interesting to see how the people were taking their time off from the scenarios while their strongest members battled it out in the Emperor’s Ascent.

Everything aside from random roaming monsters was put on hold as the Empire State Building became the center of attention of the American northeast. For the first time since the system dropped, t...

Chapter 309

Penn Station, Manhattan, New York - 12:07 PM

I stepped off of the train with Jamie and moved out of the way from the steady stream of people following us. The fingers on my left hand flexed, and my stride was no longer stunted. Despite the magnitude of my self-inflicted injuries, it no longer showed other than my hair still being split in color.

The feeling in the left side of my body hadn’t been miraculously fixed in the time it took us to get to New York City,...

Chapter 308

Northbound Train, Florida - 3:01 PM

Jamie had made it to Stanley faster than I had expected, and we settled into a private room as the train started heading north. She changed out of her armor and into light clothes before letting me into the room with her. It was safe, so there was no reason to be vigilant.

I sat across from her at the window with a small table between us, and I was facing backwards so she could watch where we were going. Jamie hated traveling ba...

Chapter 307

Walsard’s Control Room, Administrative Layer - 1:28 PM

I wiped the blue, red, and green blood coating Asi off on one of the office chairs Seraphim’s staff had been sitting in. There had been three lesser administrators, or whatever they were, at the time of arrival. A very orange individual who wore clothes the same shade as his skin and hair, some kind of sentient pine tree with garland arms, and a yeti.

They were surprised enough by our entrance that I was a...

Chapter 306

Etson, Florida - 1:14 PM

My Evil Twin had put up Shield, his Force Fields, and even stopped attacking me to create Construct after Construct in order to delay the inevitable, but it was no use. By the time I was finished, I had completely burned through the foundation of the house. There was a suspiciously Anthony-shaped hole where the concrete was less damaged than the rest. Resting atop it was a book and a small box gift wrapped in red paper with a green ribbon.

Salutations, readers!

I'm here to happily announce that Dungeon Inspector: The Cult of Chaos is officially live on Amazon! This is the second book of the trilogy, and even though it hasn't met the same popularity as 100th Run and Courier Quest, I'm still very happy with the way it turned out.

Chapter 305

Etson, Florida - 1:00 PM

“Get out of here!” I commanded the others before flying towards the attic.

The fact that I could ragdoll him and vice versa immediately threw Doppelganger out of my head as what this monster could be. If that were the case, then our respective Constitutions would have made such forced movement impossible. That narrowed things down. Perhaps a Ka, which was a copy of my vital essence made from my death, or maybe an Evil Twin looking to t...

Chapter 304

Etson, Florida - 12:07 PM

I waited patiently in the suburbs north of the city. Tommy and Gabrielle had been insistent on bringing a few of these new Anthony’s Faithful people to come and meet me even after I told them that I wouldn’t be able to enter my Angel form to recreate what they had seen at the Vespae hive. That had been fine with them, but I was starting to become impatient at the wait.

For what seemed like the fiftieth time, I looked around the house ...

Chapter 303

Etson, Florida - 11:09 AM

I stood there awkwardly, leaning on the Staff of Raphael, as Thomas walked towards me. Gabrielle was not far behind him. The fact that I couldn’t read his aura was messing with me a bit, especially since his face was set in stone and could mean any number of things. Regardless, I held my ground, taking in what I could. Namely, their gear.

Thomas Brown wore plastic studded leather armor that covered him from the pauldrons on his shoulder...

Etson, Florida - 10:48 AM Eastern Daylight Time

I took a breath and immediately activated Shield around my body in preparation.

Chapter 301

Dublin, Ireland - 3:22 PM

Moving around the city with Flight was draining and I refilled my medallion with Mental Points so Efficient Conduit could do its work. It was slightly annoying not being able to use my Heelies, but it was a consequence I took in stride. In the end, there had been plenty of time and silence to think over what had just happened.

I stood by my decision even a couple of hours later when I was fully feeling the consequences of my actions.

Chapter 300 (Milestone!)

Dublin, Ireland - 2:07 PM

The pain had almost completely subsided by the time I woke up. Parts of my body still ached while others were devoid of any feeling at all. It was like half of me was floating in an ethereal void, cut off from the world around me. That was worrying, but not unexpected.

The Soul Shearer’s soul shearing was an attack that worked entirely within the system. If you were hit by his weapon, then your maximum HP and any resource pools you had,...

Chapter 299

Croke Park, Dublin, Ireland - 12:55 PM

I tore across the Irish skies, flying barely higher than the tallest building in my path. Coe’s frozen body followed behind me as I headed towards the giant pillar of ice. The air was already brisk, but the closer I got the more the temperature plummeted. It was worse than when I was around Aaron since, if he made it too cold, it likely would have hurt me and that was apparently off-limits.

My destination was Croke Park Sta...

Chapter 298

Heuston Station, Dublin, Ireland - 12:33 PM

The bastard who descended from the sky was just as smug as I remembered him.

Arontalscion, the Fallen, the Heavenly Calamity. The Collector of Memories, apparently. That allowed me to guess at a few things, but there were still a lot of questions out there.

His silver halo gleamed despite the overcast skies. Ice coated the top of his head, creating a helmet of short hair. High cheekbones and a sharp chin gav...

Foxbond Chapter 5

Kurix sighed as he laid on top of the arena’s fighting platform with his chin against the ground, watching as his partner and the trainer spoke about the rules. He had been raring and ready to go ever since he had first gotten that woman’s scent. It had been like a powerful breeze rushing through a forest, dense with mana despite having just finished a fight.

He could still smell it lingering in the arena. His new opponent, while decently strong, didn’t come close. Baern couldn’...

Foxbond Chapter 4

Hews Arena was simple to find. The high walls, taller even than the ones protecting the city, made it an easy landmark for new arrivals to use. It sat in the center of everything. Most of the main roads led to it, giving the city the impression of being a wagon wheel when looking at a map of it.

The cobblestone street that started just inside the gate wasn’t an exception, and Baern didn’t deviate from his path as he headed towards the arena. The buildings in this area were mostly tw...

Foxbond Chapter 3

For better or worse, Dante wasn’t much of a talker. From the week-long journey from Geor to Talsmark and the four day journey from there to Hewspara, the man only really spoke encouragements to his two horses. This was fine by both Baern and Kurix; they had their own way of passing the time.

When a Soul Beast wasn’t manifested, they inhabited their Carded’s core. It was a moderate cost to Baern’s mana to release Kurix but, once he was free, he was fairly self-sufficient so long ...

Foxbond Chapter 2

The journey back to the village was significantly shorter than the one they took to find the manticore’s lair, but they still didn’t return to Talsmark until well after dark. High in the sky, the full moon hung in front of a breathtaking backdrop of stars with not a cloud to be seen. If it weren’t for the bad news they were returning with, it could have been the perfect night.

Ill tidings or not, Baern followed behind his partner as they got closer to the lights of the town. They ...

Interest Check: Foxbond Chapter 1

Salutations, readers!

Still no blurb for this story, but I'll be honest, I'm probably going to be waiting until the last minute before Foxbond goes up on Royal Road to make one. But! I will be posting the first five chapters today.

Fair warning, I'm not sure when I'm going to continue this story, only that I plan to this year if there's enough interest for it. I wrote these chapters back around September or so and have been daydreaming about Foxbond ever since, so any ...

Heuston Station, Dublin, Ireland - 11:25 AM

Heuston Station, Dublin, Ireland - 11:25 AM

The acid coming from the Blade of Trismegistus burned through my guts. I had managed to move just enough that it missed anything vital, but that didn’t mean I was coming away from this clean. Flying backwards off of the sword, I spun in the air and aimed a kick at Coe’s head. He raised his arm to block the attack, and it felt like I was striking a concrete wall.

Behin...

Saint James, Dublin, Ireland - 11:21 AM

Coe must have felt safe at his current distance, because he reached into his inventory and retrieved another Memory Orb. It was quickly crushed in his hand.

It probably would have been prudent to stop him, or even attack with a Construct or my telekinesis, but I pulled a potion out of my inventory instead. Blues and greens swirled together in a mesmerizing display, and I imbibed ...
