I could feel it, ripping my flesh apart and tearing my body asunder. I had never felt such a thing, in either of my lives, and it. Was. Glorious.
I had spent a thousand years in battle, a thousand years as a warrior scholar, ruling an interstellar polity while growing my strength and wisdom...
2025-05-02 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostBeth, Sera, and Blood all retreated to one room, Beth still feeling like she needed some rest. The dragon and the wolf would, of course, never say no to more sleep, taking either side of Beth as she slept. They were like that for a surprising amount of time, almost a third of the short trip, befo...
2025-05-01 17:00:28 +0000 UTC View Post"Fuck," said Beth, looking at his body.
"Never gets easier, girlie," Baelvyr said, walking over and leaning down to gently close Delonne's eyes.
"You've lost people," Beth said, a question, but from his tone, she made it more a statement, understanding he certainly had.
"More th...
2025-04-30 17:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostBeth continued hammering the monster, digging her 'free' hand deeper into what was left of its armor as she obliterated its head and chest over and over. Funnily enough, while Sera's fire didn't hurt her, the other materials it heated up could slightly scald her, though it wasn't enough to really...
2025-04-29 17:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostMegoria wasn't there, of course, as she was very actively pursuing the monsters now, but they didn't really need to speak with her. Who did show up, however, was Baelvyr, wanting to talk to them, likely about the monsters, but possibly about the weapon they had found. Well, calling it a weapon wo...
2025-04-28 17:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe very first thing I thought of when walking into the room was a dragon vein. Such things were concentrations of the energy of heaven and earth, though in this new life I suppose such things would have different names and would be referred to as concentrations of mana. Getting over my surprise,...
2025-04-25 17:00:55 +0000 UTC View PostThe tunnels themselves weren't smooth and unusual as the gash that had been carved into the surface had been, but they were a twisting warren of switchbacks, dead ends, and interconnected segments, leading up as much as down, that made navigation difficult. It wasn't helped by the fact that after...
2025-04-24 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post"Well, that's most of what we need," he said, gesturing for the front door.
"You don't want to stay a while? Rest for a minute?" Beth asked, glancing around the house.
"Nothing left here for me," he said, a faint note of sorrow in his voice.
"Then let's get on with it," Beth gru...
2025-04-23 17:00:26 +0000 UTC View PostBeth and Sera had finished burning away the corpses and rot by the time Delonne was clean and joined them on the bridge, his danger senses twitching for just a second when all three glanced at him. There was a lot of power just in that one little room, far more power than he was used to...
2025-04-22 17:00:17 +0000 UTC View PostFlying back to their…well, campsite might be an accurate description, but using a multi-mithril coin airship as their tent wasn't exactly slumming it, they decided on just a bit of rest. They likely had a day before they were given more targets, as with Baelvyr out helping, the beast population...
2025-04-21 17:00:25 +0000 UTC View PostI was still being watched from time to time, but there were long stretches where nobody bothered with me. My maids would prepare me in the morning, then I would be largely left unattended for the entire day. My parents were still searching for a tutor for me, and had interviewed a person, though ...
2025-04-18 17:00:32 +0000 UTC View PostShe was really lamenting the loss of her armor as she started on the grind, having a backup set of level two hundred armor that wasn't anywhere near as good as the epic armor that was all part of a set she had been using. She would have to try to acquire some as soon as they were done with this m...
2025-04-17 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostSera's story only made it about halfway before they got distracted with…other activities. Beth had to say, it was very pleasant to have Sera around during such things, especially with other women involved. Her knowledge and experience were a great to help with keeping things going and making su...
2025-04-16 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostShe was still, surprisingly, winning, at least when it came to strength, though she was not winning overall. The monster's attacks with magic, the vines and branches and thorns, were starting to really stack up, and she had taken quite a bit of damage at this point. It had started with bruising a...
2025-04-15 17:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe attack worked, though not quite in the way she had fully intended, as a massive cluster of vines exploded from the ground under her feet, Beth teleporting away at the last second. Still, it had caused whatever was in the woods to move, and she finally saw it, a being that looked like an old, ...

"I fuckin' wish," Pietr snarled back. "This little bitch thinks she's the boss."
The woman with dark black hair turned to me, showing she had a long scar from under the right side of h...
2025-04-11 17:00:15 +0000 UTC View Post"What's up, boss?" Beth asked him as she walked over, just having finished the last of the fire.
"I figured it'd be ya lot," he grunted, looking around. "Ya killed a lot here?"
"It was something like three million," Sera answered.
"Yeah, figured," Baelvyr grunted. "Ya gotta be c...
2025-04-10 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostBeth led the way out of the camp, eager to put the place behind her, though it was really the world itself that was the problem. Damp, wet, chilly, raining, and muddy about summed it up, and that just wasn't great. There were areas that were so wet that they were just knee-deep bogs of mud and sl...
2025-04-09 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostAdannae didn't know what to make of the three standing in front of her. A strange human clearly in charge, leading a woman that had very significant draconic features, and a woman that had very obvious lupine features. Using some kind of Identify-type skill on them proved that true, as they were ...
2025-04-08 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostBeth managed to keep it in her pants, or out of her pants, however the case may be, for the next two days. They arrived at the planet without any delays, thankfully, though Beth wasn't sure what could really threaten them with Baelvyr onboard. He wasn't as strong as it was possible to be, but the...
2025-04-07 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post"And, as for you," Pietr said, glaring at me.
"At least you are not pointing," I said with a sigh.
"Why, you little-" he started, clenching his fists as he glared at me.
"Pietr-ah, it is Pietr, yes?" I said, getting a sullen nod from the man. "Pietr, I did not come here to...
2025-04-04 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostThey spent a month like that, objective time, letting the other girls use the gate to push up towards two hundred. They would need two-twenty to do at least a Perfect Rebirth with their next rebirth, but once they got to two hundred, things would slow down a bit. The month wasn't quite long enoug...
2025-04-03 17:12:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning her sisters were back, having slept at their home the previous night. Beth opened the gate for them and Neph, Soph taking notes on her communicator as she very carefully observed the entire process. Beth wished she could slow it down so Soph could get more notes, but the gate onl...
2025-04-02 17:00:12 +0000 UTC View Post"They're very lovely together," Neph said brightly.
"They're too mushy," Blood growled in complaint, turning on the wallscreen, though she had the volume quite low.
"I'd rather be mushy than sneaky," Beth fired back, getting an unintelligible growl in response.
"You want to go g...

2025-03-31 17:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostI walked out of the dark, finding my nose assaulted by a rather fetid stench. It appeared a functioning sewer system was still being developed for the town, though it had already been installed in our estate. I supposed that helped further narrow down roughly where we were, technological era spea...
2025-03-28 17:00:12 +0000 UTC View PostIt was a few days of objective time, but a few weeks of subjective time for them as they leveled. Despite a bit of a slower pace, Beth and Sera and Blood had caught up with Neph and then surpassed her, though they had helped pull her level up quite a bit in the meantime. Beth left Neph with the g...
2025-03-27 17:00:22 +0000 UTC View Post"Beth, are you alright?" Sera asking about her was the first thing she experienced when she came to, the Path removing its altering of space around her.
"I'm fine," Beth said with another laugh, hopping up.
Well, she tried to hop up, but even with her level set to one, the new power b...
2025-03-26 17:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe three of them made their way to the empty, reinforced room that Beth was pretty sure was meant as a training room. They would all be able to do their fifth rebirths there without anyone else watching in or interfering. Beth took out the materials when they got into the room, passing the stuff...
2025-03-25 17:00:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn't really a problem, so she just squeezed a bit tighter and enjoyed the sensations, including several quite soft sensations pressing against her torso. It took almost an hour for the other two to stir, though Beth suspected a bit of foul play. There was no way two Ascended needed so m...
