Meanwhile With the Other Champions IV

Aleksander Yurinov hadn't originally had that name. He'd been born Michael 'Mickey' Sullivan in Boston in nineteen-ninety. He'd lived in Southie growing up and fell in with a bad crowd. They'd been two-bit hoods, mostly, thinking they were badasses, that they'd be bigshots someday. Then Southie h...

Chapter 51

I took the winter to settle things in Athens. The Purge of the Athenian Boule had to be wrapped up by Spring and the Rump Boule packed with members of the Stoic Faction or those I appointed directly. It was far from a leisurely winter, but the very fact that my Army was in the City helped ensure ...

Images For Chapter Twenty

Here we see a few things from the last chapter, such as the City of Gser Pho Brang, with the Former Palace of Shenwrab Miwo all the way at the top of the mountain, the Full Picture of what the Tianjia Armor looks like, Canoptic Stasis Tanks like where Mokosh had been Imprisoned, and Mokosh hersel...

Chapter 44

The next few days went by more or less easily. Without having Magnus Gamp to tutor me, I effectively had a lot of time to myself to focus on my own training. I decided to use that time to read up on Alchemy, using both the Craftsman's Tradition and Nicholas Flamel's Notes that he had given me. Th...

Chapter 25

The Coral Citadel loomed large up ahead. We'd had to travel for half a day from Knight-Lieutenant Melarue's Watchpost to reach the place. It was situated on a plateau rising up from the seafood. A bunch of black coral formed a number of jagged spires jutting up almost to the surface of the sea su...

Chapter 63

The second line of fortifications had resisted all attempts to batter them into submission for a full week by this point. We would drive the enemy out of a bastion or series of bunkers only for a counterattack to hit us or for us to run into a minefield or artillery bombardment and either reverse...

Meanwhile With the Other Champions III

Keira Rangi had taken to the powers given to her by Whiro well. She'd always been a bit of a contrarian, so being given dark powers by an evil god wasn't exactly something she was gonna turn down. It helped that she'd been given this smoking hot body as part of the experience, though honestly, sh...

Chapter 106

Saltpans was much like some of the other towns along the coast of the Narrow Sea that I'd besieged. It was close enough to the crownlands for certain architectural similarities to crop up. Notably, this included such things as the layout of the fortifications, with castle, harbor, and town all be...

Meanwhile With the Other Champions II

Emma Yung had been having a crazy past few months. Sure, she'd thought she might be in for something extreme when she'd been snatched in the middle of the night from her apartment in San Francisco and found herself face-to-face with Caishen, the God of Wealth. That she'd not really bothered with ...

Chapter 20

The City of Gser Pho Brang, Shenwrab Miwo's Capital, looked like many other Goa'uld Cities that had been built by Non-Abnormal Goa'uld. That was to say that it largely looked like a traditional city of the Culture that inhabited the planet. Only some of the System Lords tended to build cities tha...

Interlude: Meanwhile With the Other Champions I

Eric Dahl was not having a good time. He'd been largely content to mind his own business after being Chosen by Loki to receive the powers of the Celestial Grimoire. Of course, the fact that he'd been sent to Mundus, the World of Warhammer Fantasy, could have been a problem. So could the fact that...

Images for Chapter Twenty-Four

Here we see some images from not just the last chapter, but also two from the next Chapter in both the Coral Citadel and Xommyrru. I'm not a hundred percent happy with Xommyrru and Eldraxis' Images, but they were the best I could get. For some reason, none of the AI Image Generators I use liked d...

Chapter 24

We'd been sailing for a number of hours, heading out along the Sea Lanes between Heartharbor and Jannathstaad, when we came upon the scene of another attack. This time, however, instead of any actual ship pieces or anything, there was only the odd bit of flotsam bobbing up and down in the surf. A...

Images for Chapter Twenty-Three

All right, here we have the images of various places and people from Chapter Twenty-Three. You'll note that the Elder Council of Seahearth, or at least the people we've seen from it so far, are all fairly high-level. You may be asking what is stopping all these twelfth-level characters from wipin...

Chapter 43

It was bright and early when I found myself being escorted to the Headmaster's Office for the talk with Dumbledore I'd been dreading about the Philosopher's Stone. I'd prepared as best I could, but the fact was I was most likely about to lose control over the Stone once Dumbledore had found out t...

Interlude: The Plains Towns Campaign

Colonel Tomas Kadlec frowned as Third Guards arrived outside the Town of Toch's Harvest, one of three, along with Garcil's Planting and Graham's Field. Like many of the landmarks of Von Strang's World, these three plains towns were named after historical figures from the Rim Worlds Republic, in t...

Announcement: Paid Membership Teaser

I've added a paid membership teaser campaign. Free Members can now see the Prologues for my four Paid Members Only Stories. If you guys like what you see, there's plenty more chapters for each of those stories already written that paid members can access.

Paid Memberships are a single tier...

Chapter 95

The next day, after waking up, taking our Alchemical Hangover Remedies, and heading to the Arena, my Team and I found ourselves the second-to-last team to arrive. I frowned and looked over at Nightwolf, who, along with T. Hawk and Michelle Chang, had apparently been one of the first teams to arri...

Chapter 42

The next two weeks things resumed mostly as normal. The hubbub around the run on the Stone had mostly died down by now, allowing me to get on with my training. Of course, owing to my sprained third eye, I was keeping the Mind Arts limited to simple Occlumency and Leglimency training, which meant ...

Chapter 18

The interior of the Militech SUV was interesting. Instead of the fully-militarized version you'd see in wartime, this was a preem version. Real Leather seats, climate controlled cabin, the works. Somebody'd shelled out some preem eddies for this. Definitely the VIP version instead of the one the ...

Chapter 105

The first indication that something was wrong was the shouting. It was the middle of the night, and much of our camp was asleep. I myself was asleep, though I bolted upright in my camp bed when I heard the shouts. It seemed a pair of our sentries had been slain by enemy action and allowed an adva...

Chapter 24

Immediately, Jackie's Granddad fired off a Roaring Technique that seemed to have some kinda heat to it. Instead of letting himself get hit by that sorta thing, Jackie disappeared in a puff of sand as he engaged the Great Sand River Bears Away the Serpent Technique, reappearing just...

Chapter 19

As I transported down to the surface of Kataki, I saw that my forces around Mgarpa Sacha had been arrayed precisely how I ordered them to. Everything was waiting on my command, but I had to be certain that this would work. I activated the built-in comms unit in my armor with an exercise of willpo...

Chapter 17

Immediately, I opened fire, the ten-millimeter Autogun part of my Xipe Totec firing a three-round burst at the Tyger Claw next to Ken even as Ken charged forward with his Katana. The bullets smashed through the subdermal armor chipped in the Tyger Claw's Skull and punched into his brain even as I...

Chapter 23

Commodore Islandwarden led us through a section of town near the harbor that was actually above ground for the first leg of our journey to the Council Hall. My Local Knowlege Skill supplied that this was the so-called Overhill Quarter, which was where the non-halfling residents lived and did busi...

Images For Chapter Twenty-Two

Here we see the images for Chapter Twenty-Two. Seahearth and a couple of the NPCs that Robar and Company have met, along with the only ship in the Jannath's Tears Archipelago that has a specific deck for siege weapons in the Seahearth Slingstone. Let me know if you guys want me to stop p...

Images for the Ministry Delegation and Chapter Forty-One

Here, we have images for the past couple of chapters. I forgot to put them up earlier, so you're getting both at once now. Sorry about that. I know it's a lot, especially with the more than Seven Thousand Word Chapter earlier. Hopefully, this gives you a bit more of an idea of what things are or ...

Chapter 41

I woke up Monday to Madame Pomfrey insisting I leave the Hospital Wing. Apparently, she needed the bed due to an incident at the last Quidditch Game where Mervyn Wynch, a Fourth Year Hufflepuff and one of the Hufflepuff Beaters took a serious fall after being knocked off his broom by both Bludger...

Chapter 48

I met with Jubilee at a coffee shop in Los Angeles. It was way too hot for me to be wearing much in the way of my usual gear, but fortunately, I didn't have to now that I had a spell that effectively let me equip myself in the field like I was a magical girl or something. Instead, I wound up wear...
