I realized halfway through Keita’s list that I could only provide him with money.

After providing him with money, I did not realize that I had made a mistake until the appointed hour came.

As the distraction he decided to make was simple, systemic destruction.

If I had one regret, it would be that I would not be able to see the start of our war against the remains of our ancestor’s foes.

The Citadel offered much. Even though I lost my power, it could give me back my youth. However, my body was corrupted beyond its ability to heal, as I held the blade for too long. Monthly visits became weekly ones. Soon, I would need to dwell in the Citadel and sleep in one of the healing c...

“It’s almost hard to believe people ate food like this normally before everything.” I stated, and Gwen gave a nod. We were still at the buffet. Surprisingly, our enthusiasm garnered positive attention. After the sushi section, we were invited to try Spanish cuisine, and we were seated next to several enthusiasts who were eager to share what they recalled from the past. “You...

The daughter of the Academy’s headmaster.

It sounded like a nice and neat position when one first heard of it. Not the princess of a kingdom, but someone high enough on the metaphorical totem pole that she couldn’t be touched. A good position that some recluse can use to avoid problems, especially because she spent years in her father’s small mansion trying to get a grip on her new world.

If not for the fact that the recluse m...

After gathering more information that was untouched by the lens that the Academy was the greatest polity on the continent and its supreme rulers, I found more information on the King of Wisdom.

A child that guided armies through the outer realms of the Academy and impossibly ensured that they remained whole and hale despite all the dangers.

A child who was appointed king by a dying warlord who just met him days a...

“Hm. Looks like it’s about time.” Lord Trelawney’s remark made me pause as I finished making sure my arms and armor were ready for my next patrol. Alice and Chloe just signaled their imminent return after intercepting a particularly large band of foes. “I’ll shatter this little thunderstorm they’ve got brewing, but after that they’ll charge in thinking that all ...

The Forgers died with a whimper, overwhelming force winning the day, and with three Citadels, the Guardians moved against the remainder of the Wardens.

The Wardens couldn’t break the road that I built, even before the output of three Citadels bore down upon them, despite the fact that they could call upon their armies again and again.

They were going to be smashed apart, their temples burned, and the threat they posed to the nation destroyed.

I stopped and couldn’t help but stare at Anisette as she lumbered through the door, soaking wet, and fell face-first onto the floor as Lord Trelawney walked after her.

Her state of tiredness was one thing, but the scent of a great and terrible beast clung to her like a second skin.

For the first time since I met her, she seemed as though she would make a possible thre...

Catherine rounded out the group.

Partly because she was a smartass with incredibly high self-esteem.

But mostly because her abilities were the last piece of the puzzle that we needed to crack the mystery behind our opponents.

Though she needed a lot of setup if she could be relied upon to take anything on, with her unprepared version barely more capable than a trained gunman who could cast...

In the middle of a season, villains typically increase the stakes. With the recent introduction of a dark counterpart to the Sentinels, that was our signal to start escalating.

The question was how far.

I blinked spots out of my vision while a sudden heat burst across my arms.

Instinctively, I leapt back and rolled, with a focus on smothering any flame clinging to me.

Instead of ablating any flame, though, rolling across the carpeted floor only sent pain rocketing up my arms.

Once my vision cleared, I found my arms covered in innumerable, shallow cuts.

I put two and two toge...

“Well, that’s not good.” Thunderer grunted as we looked at the new battle footage. Shadow Entity 2 had the figure of a young woman and wore a frilly gothic gown as she fought against the Sentinels. “All five Sentinels can’t take down one officer.”

There were a multitude of benefits to taking the supersoldier concoctions that the Ancients left behind, but there were also a bunch of caveats. Those who undertake the procedure, pretty much anyone in the military now, needed less rest, were stronger and faster than regular people, and recovered from injury better. While they wouldn’t get up from having their insides blown apart or having their heads taken off, they could also resist damage a lot better and d...

I kept an eye on Leona while she was inducted into the group. Predisposed to wearing a suit, the tanned cyborg gave off ‘penultimate’ boss vibes the more I looked at her. Her cybernetics gave her speed and agility on par with a ninja, while most of her body was very tough metal alloys wrapped up in synthetic skin that self-repaired. Her organs were highly augmented to be tougher and more...

Asakura’s plan was honestly much better than I expected.

Scope out all possible locations, hit the ones that hold captives asap, but leave the big targets for a rush at the end. If possible, get information and resources from people in either Neo San Kyoto or Trespass while preparing for the final stretch. The plan kept the pressure on our opponents and took product away from them, and we di...

It was a good thing that I sent Khanrow ahead to infiltrate the Forgers, because he had to work quickly to stop the Forgers from not just holding the Citadel hostage but destroying it completely to spite us for their impending defeat.

Since they were going to lose, the Forgers decided that they should consign the world to one of the calamities that ‘bested’ the Ancients, rather than those who were ‘lesser.’

I stayed clear of lolicon-bait Miss Vampire as much as possible, along with the other bad-end heroines Hiyo Prime was taking care of, while getting into the groove of a new routine. During the day, I trained. In the afternoon, I found some places to hit. At night, I worked with Asakura to scout out the enemy.

Hiyo Prime wore a black bodysuit with red and gold accents, which had a large fishnet diamond on the back and open sides from the neck to the heel. The opening even went down the arm portion, leaving her two middle fingers and palms open to the air along with the core of her arms. The red and gold metal attachments came in the form of winged epaulets, armored high heels, and decorations o...

The subject of technological progress is a touchy one.

Mostly because of desperation and how it led to so much being done during the apocalypse.

During the start of the first apocalypse, we were just playing around with autonomous weapons. Infantry didn’t have exoskeletons, let alone power armor, and they lugged around brass ammunition. Vehicles used tracks or wheels ...

The Hiyo Clan’s complex was impressive. Located outside of Neo San Kyoto next to a lake surrounded by mountains, it was extremely defensible with only one road leading in that diverted from a highway. They had a light cargo rail next to a warehouse for trucks to come in and offload goods. Cars that came in and out were inspected before and after going through a tunnel that ...

I really wanted to take a week-long break, but after seeing Riegert resurrected and ensuring Khalai was watched, it was time to fly back out.

Since the front against the Wardens of the Caverns was on the way, I decided to drop on by.

I didn’t expect to be swept up in a hug by Ilych once we were out of the public eye.

“Thank you for saving my father.” It was a simple statement, but I could tell Ilych wanted to convey more than that. She le...

The cargo truck turned into the dock, looking like any other. White with patchy paint and some rust on the wheels. Seemingly some shipping companies attempt to keep an asset going well past its prime to make the most of their investment.

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d need to get Khalai out so soon, but with what was coming… I couldn’t afford to lose Riegert.

Using the Shroud on him would remove all his buffs for infantry, which I was betting a lot on.

If Khanrow died, I’d use the Shroud instead, but Riegert, Morgan, Ilych, and Morgan’s students were worth the risk.

Being Undead, Rita was easy enough to revive without any complications.
