Pandy was pointing at a small table not far past the tranquil lake of her blood. On it rested a statue of Ismara, marble hands outstretched, palms up. On those hands sat a small wooden box. A very flammable small wooden box, thank you very much, Edgar, you slightly morbid pyromaniac.

How do we get back?” He was casting worried glances behind him, as if realizing for the first time that he’d left Eleanor behind, though Pandy was certain that the princess was being watched.

2025-05-27 01:14:08 +0000 UTC View PostPandy grinned, glad to be able to turn the tables on the secretive boy. “Come on, and I’ll show you.” His eyes narrowed, but when Pandy led the way back toward the classroom wing, he followed.
Small Groups were everywhere today. Usually, teachers spent most of their time talking, or g...

My family is heading to Texas for Chupacabracon, which I honestly think my husband only picked because he liked the name. That means no chapters for those days. My next vacation won't be...
2025-05-23 04:44:47 +0000 UTC View Post“Today, we’re going to play a game,” Pandy told the five children. As usual, Thaniel was seated beside her on one of the benches, while Eleanor and Geraldine sat on the other nearby bench. Isidor and Abbington stood further away, and, as had become usual, Brook wandered around near Abbingto...
2025-05-23 04:27:30 +0000 UTC View PostWednesday passed much as Tuesday had, except that Pandy remembered that she was supposed to attend dinner as Ms. Wellington. Fortunately, when Shifting Faces reached level three, its duration also increased to two hours, so she just barely managed to do everything she needed to do before poofing ...
2025-05-22 01:07:35 +0000 UTC View Post“What’s the best kind of Fire elemental?” Geraldine demanded, eyes intent.
“Best or most powerful?” Pandy asked absently, eyes caught by another patch of shadow. Had something moved there?
“What’s the difference?” Geraldine said, twisting so she could stare up into the...
2025-05-21 01:13:52 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Governance and Leadership came Small Group, which meant it was time for Pandy to play the part of Ms. Wellington again. So, while Thaniel happily chatted with his classmates, taking full advantage of the free time Mrs. Lovett gave them, Pandy found herself focusing more and more on the upco...
2025-05-20 03:32:25 +0000 UTC View PostKaden was a terrible tutor. He hovered around his sister like a particularly obsessive mosquito, paying no attention to anyone else. Lian, on the other hand, knew everything, and was perfectly willing to share his knowledge, though he had no patience with foolishness. By the time the hour was up,...
2025-05-16 20:48:14 +0000 UTC View PostDragon food was spicy. Not spicy as in hot – though it was that, too – but spicy like Indian food, with a complex combination of flavors that wasn’t always to Pandy’s taste. Still, she ate, and lapped up the golden liquid, which was sweet and probably not alcoholic, because she didn’t f...
2025-05-16 05:26:46 +0000 UTC View PostThe dragon took Pandy with him to the library. This worked out, since she had nothing else to do, but she was a bit miffed that no one bothered to ask. The dragon just scooped her up – his skin felt like completely normal human skin, not scaly at all – and carried her off to his lair, where h...
2025-05-15 04:06:22 +0000 UTC View PostPandy sat bolt upright in the chair, then came to her feet, already stammering out something that might have been a greeting, or an apology, or possibly an order for takeout. None of the three responded, though Professor Beeswick crossed to the desk and picked up the copy of The Courteous Mag...
2025-05-14 01:58:09 +0000 UTC View PostPandy burst into the classroom, and only then remembered that she was supposed to be the calm, cool, and collected Ms. Wellington. Dropping her skirts into place, she cleared her throat, attempting to level a disapproving glare at the students. This proved difficult, since they were just sitting ...
2025-05-13 00:13:03 +0000 UTC View Post“King Elliott was how old when he took the throne?” Mr. Rowe asked, looking around expectantly.
<Eighteen,> Pandy thought lazily, rolling over to expose her belly to the narrow beam of sunlight edging its way in through the classroom window.
“Eighteen,” Ellie said, after...
2025-05-10 04:07:26 +0000 UTC View PostThe door to Ms. Wellington’s office swung open beneath Pandy’s hand, and she all but leaped inside, slamming the door shut behind her before pressing her forehead against it. Everything was fine. Fine. She would just-

2025-05-09 02:16:18 +0000 UTC View PostCharm was one of many stats that Pandy had considered and discarded as being essentially worthless. Clara ‘needed’ at least ten levels of it early in the game, but it was replaced by more specific stats like Style and Talent later on. Like Innate Magic, it was meant to teach you how the game ...
2025-05-08 03:07:35 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Keros had appeared beside Pandy, she wasn’t really afraid. In spite of his rippling muscles and casual use of power, she could tell that he was harmless. Or at least mostly harmless. Now, the space filled with billowing fabric, oodles of hair, and warm, fleshy bits that Pandy didn’t want...
2025-05-07 01:09:21 +0000 UTC View PostKeros was chained to a rock. That was an odd thing to happen to anyone, especially a god, but Keros was an odd god, at least in Pandy’s admittedly very limited experience. He didn’t seem to be in danger – there were no eagles slurping down his liver, for instance – so Pandy would have nop...
2025-05-06 02:00:55 +0000 UTC View Post<Stats,> Pandy thought, staring down at the piece of paper pinned beneath her ink-stained paw. It was only faintly illuminated by the tiny Spark she’d cast more than an hour ago, but Pandy didn’t need light to see the words that formed before her eyes.

2025-05-03 06:53:11 +0000 UTC View PostBy the time Pandy managed to get out of the pond – it turned out that undead rabbits could swim as well as they had when alive, and Pandy had always been a dog-paddler – she was soaked and muddy, but no longer covered in blood. Thaniel had started into the water after her, but been held back ...

2025-05-01 03:01:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe children gathered around Pandy, bright eyes shining as she related a somewhat sanitized version of the storyline of Gacha Love. Not that Clara and her love interest ever did anything more risqué than kiss, but Pandy found that she just couldn’t tell them certain details. All menti...

2025-04-29 20:57:44 +0000 UTC View PostPandy had read more than a few isekai stories. Mostly free ones, found on websites where wanna-be authors posted their efforts and waited with bated breath for the reaction of the wild denizens of the internet. Some of them were excellent, but to be absolutely honest, most of them were…not.
... 2025-04-29 20:47:20 +0000 UTC View PostSomething in Pandy rebelled against the idea of ‘wasting’ much more of her time with Shifting Faces, but she did think it was a good idea to do one more check of the room, and this time she was going to look around the office as well. So, with one last look out of the window, she dropped back...
2025-04-29 01:38:44 +0000 UTC View PostFortunately, the door swung outward, so Pandy used her impressive Agility score to remain behind it as it opened, summoning her clothing as she did so. She was pretty sure Augustus Blackwood hadn’t gotten an eyeful this time. Maybe half an eye, at most.

2025-04-25 22:47:01 +0000 UTC View PostPandy just couldn’t bring herself to use Bite rather than the knife, so she focused on Minor Heal for the rest of the night, only stopping once an hour to test Shifting Faces. Six hours later, the spell had reached level twenty-two, she had forty-three more Mana, and she’d also noticed that h...

Isidor shook his head, his expression a study in surprise and something akin to resignation. He closed the door, then motioned to the bed, saying, “We shoul...
