Numbering change
I changed the numbering on the chapters to make it simpler (which is important for when I do the audio).
So the next chapter is Overpowered Wizard B2 Ch6: Zarian's Profile Notes

2024-08-27 13:51:03 +0000 UTC View PostAfter eating enough for a dozen men, Zarian was getting sloshed at Reiki’s dungeon coffee bar like he was at a Marine party with lots of booze.
The place had warm red and brown tones with wooden furnishings like a tavern set near the entrance to the dungeon. There was the smell of roasted...
2024-08-26 15:34:12 +0000 UTC View PostBianca had joined the freedom alignment. She was free good +5.
She collapsed.
Zarian caught her. He helped her down to her knees gently. She shivered in his arms, squirming against his chest, not to get away, but to delve deeper into his embrace.
Para wrapped them both up togeth...
2024-08-25 15:30:04 +0000 UTC View PostA part of Zarian’s Fractured Mind saw the old Gilbert, a big, blue-eyed, straw-haired, stereotypical American that could’ve played lineman in the NFL. Here in the World of Castles and Caverns, dressed in the runic leather armor of the Wolf Dragon Hunter suits, Gilbert also looked like a half-...
2024-08-25 15:27:48 +0000 UTC View PostZarian watched as Naomi scrolled through her notifications. He didn’t see her notifications directly, but he knew she was looking based on how her eyes unfocused from him and twitched. He saw the corner of her mouth quirk up. She’d reached the note for the new achievement.
“What? It...
2024-08-24 14:50:45 +0000 UTC View PostZarian was kneeling on a patch of dirt and grass that wasn’t soaked in blood. He was in a foreign world far from his original world. Hells, he wasn’t in the universe he’d grown up in.
White blocky clouds drifted like fluffy tetris pieces sailing in the wide blue sky. Patches of cobble...
2024-08-24 14:49:15 +0000 UTC View PostI was looking at the ending and thought I could add a little more to tie it all together better and ground Zarian's thought process which leads us to Book 2.
I'll probably mess with it some more later.
Let me know what you think.
Also, we'll continue with Book 2 tomorrow. The sc...
2024-08-23 19:11:52 +0000 UTC View PostWhat was power?
Was it the whip of the master striking the slave’s back?
Was it the heart of a rebellion? The flames of insurrection? The fight against the oppressor’s oppression?
Was power the freedom to choose what you want and do things however you want? Regardless of wha...
2024-08-23 13:29:15 +0000 UTC View PostAlright guys, here it is.
The freaking last chapter. The end of OP Wizard Book 1.
Are you ready?
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE READY?!!!
We've been hyping this up for a long while now.
I don't think you're ready for what's about to happen.
It's nearly 6,000 words long. 2024-08-23 13:22:57 +0000 UTC View Post
Woo, fuck, that was a close one! Zarian thought, cutting off all his abilities, especially Void Layer.
That was a close one. He’d nearly bottomed out, and that would’ve been embarrassing. Nobody other than Para understood the panic Zarian felt toward the end while encased ...
2024-08-22 14:21:13 +0000 UTC View PostThe pre-fight talk with Bianca was both personal and necessary. Zarian used the time wisely to decide on his alpha skill loadout before the verbal exchange ended. Because of the genuine threat posed by Bianca with good +5, he figured it was best to use his greatest stuff up front.
That incl...
2024-08-22 14:19:37 +0000 UTC View PostDon't murder me for this upcoming chapter.
Please.
Enjoy! This is the second-to-last chapter of Overpowered Wizard Book 1!
2024-08-22 14:18:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe kobolds had reached the wall for the first time in this Mythical Regional Event. Now, the fighting would become a little more dangerous for the young soldiers and acolytes.
However, Zarian and his people weren’t without tricks.
The strange physics of the fortress resisted damage...
2024-08-21 14:52:04 +0000 UTC View PostOn the eastern wall, Zarian used his Spectral Spider Network +1 to watch the Rumble Psion move to her mostly solo position. He could sense everything through the multiple spiders staged in the area or by observing through Naomi herself, granting him the ultimate vicarious view.
Notably, one...
2024-08-21 14:49:44 +0000 UTC View PostThanks for waiting everyone! Let's continue with the next chapters that'll end Book 1 of Overpowered Wizard! We're almost there!
2024-08-21 14:47:05 +0000 UTC View PostFive hundred skeletons rose from the muck just when the soldiers and the acolytes reached the end of the walled lane leading to the entrance.
The young men and women all came to a bumbling stop and watched the skeletons shed their useless flesh, pluck out left-over organs from inside their ...
2024-08-17 17:01:42 +0000 UTC View PostZarian remembered times in the barracks when one Marine would set up nights for drinking and watching epic fantasy movies. There was a lot of booze, of course, and hours spent marathoning Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, the Chronicles of Narnia, and so on.
In those movies, he remembered how t...
2024-08-17 16:59:29 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, I just wanted to let you know I've suffered some burnout the past two weeks. I've recovered from the most part, but I thought it'll be nice to give myself some break time here and there.
After today's chapter I'm going to take three days off and come back with another chapter...
2024-08-17 16:57:45 +0000 UTC View PostZarian walked to the center of the Ride-or-Die Fort, where a market place had once existed for the local humans before the kobolds attacked. Now all the broken vendor stalls were gone.
The soldiers had carried away the dead remains and debris while acolytes helped with cleaning up, so it wa...
2024-08-16 18:47:57 +0000 UTC View PostZarian adjusted the collar of his repaired Wolf Dragon Hunter suit as he looked around the destruction of the walled village. He stepped over puddles of blood, separated limbs, claw marks, and more signs of the savage violence that had swept across a home for local humans.
When he looked fu...
2024-08-15 16:01:22 +0000 UTC View Post“I would’ve preferred a cool void beam or something,” Zarian said after looking over the new spell in his profile. “Man, is it me or I don’t get anything direct from these wizard spells?”
Almost all of them were situational, even the gator one. Granted, it made the use of spells...
2024-08-14 15:09:59 +0000 UTC View Post“Hey, there big guy, what happened here?” Zarian asked, flying into the scene with the wailing giant.
Bianca zipped in across the grassy field and around ancient stone columns beneath him, ready to provide Zarian back up. The extra precaution was necessary.
<Unable to I...
2024-08-14 15:07:57 +0000 UTC View PostLeaving Bianca to contemplate on his warning, Zarian went over to the crafting wagon. He found Hannah sitting on a bench and diligently journaling as she looked intently into Reiki’s dungeon core.
Strangely, instead of inquiring about Hannah’s new hobbies, he realized he hadn’t fully ...
2024-08-13 17:45:40 +0000 UTC View PostTournament arc! Tournament arc! Tournament arc!
Zarian’s thoughts ran rampant with the same thing repeatedly. His Fractured Mind was no help when every segment was overrun. He wanted to join the tournament. He wanted to do it within the next year or two. If not, he might ascend f...
2024-08-13 17:43:25 +0000 UTC View PostZarian made sure Para had a taste of the scraps Rickard left behind. There wasn’t much, yet the Parasite Cloak enjoyed every bite. Then Para ate her fill of the Royal Guards’ corpses while Zarian said farewell to everyone who wanted to see them off, which were mainly the beggars.
Everyo...
2024-08-12 19:18:48 +0000 UTC View Post“You know how bad this would’ve gotten if you attacked at night,” Zarian said, while waiting for the White Roses of Purgehunt and Purehome to recover and prepare for the next round. Zarian yammered away with little to no concern: “It’s morning. I’m bathed in sunlight. I have to burn a...
2024-08-11 17:04:44 +0000 UTC View PostZarian hadn’t lived a great life before the Infinita Star System.
He’d grown up in the worst end of the foster care program. He’d existed as an outcast at school. He’d left the Marines with a bad conduct discharge. He’d lived on the streets for a while, with a little sister only h...
2024-08-10 17:01:20 +0000 UTC View PostZarian and Naomi were sitting side by side on the kitchen counter, their shoulders leaned up against each other. They were trading boot camp stories and laughing at the hilarious or embarrassing moments they’d faced during their formative months as basic Marines.
There wasn’t anything l...
2024-08-09 17:58:46 +0000 UTC View PostZarian woke up and immediately knew it was night time. He rolled out of his bed and checked his body. Everything was working fine and back in order. Hell, he looked pretty good, honestly.
Had he put on more weight in muscle?
It wasn’t much. But it was noticeable.
When he...
2024-08-08 18:43:45 +0000 UTC View PostZarian was in another dream, but more nightmarish than usual. Sinfeast was back, and Zarian had both hands wrapped tight around the deplorable god’s neck. He squeezed his grip and shook the god back and forth, smashing the back of the evil god’s head against the alleyway wall.
Blurry ve...
