Jeremiah spent the next hour deep in the endless aisles of the System Store, tackling the last two open categories on his HUD with something approaching efficiency now that he had a hang of it. Compared to the wild variety and magical extravagance of the Beast Care and Habitat menu, the Store Supplies category felt downright mundane — if your idea of mundane included self-sorting dustpans and...

So the reward from the last mission was supposed to be 2500, not 500. I missed the 2. It’s fixed now.
Since so much of this chapter will be menus and item descriptions, it’s longer than normal. Don’t worry, this won’t be a multi-chapter shopping spree.
This chapter is here to establish the shop and how it operates, but next chapter will skip or speed up most of the irrelevan...

“Hell yes! That’s what I’m talking about!” Jeremiah couldn’t help but grin as he pulled the vest from the pile and gave it a closer look. The uniform struck a perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication, its lines clean but the fabric unmistakably fine. It was the sort of attire he imagined on the staff of an upscale boutique in Central, never in a back-alley shop on the Out...

As promised, here's the second half of the last chapter. I had to condense it a bit and cut off part of it for the next chapter, but I think it turned out well.
I've also updated the actual chapter to include this, but in case you don't want to read that again, I've posted the second half below.

Ulrick pushed open the back door of his bakery and stretched with a satisfied groan.
Today had been a good day.
He’d kept his promise to Amani’s father, passed on the Maddock lot, and helped out Jeremiah, all in one go.
“He’s a good kid... You’d be proud, Sarah,” Ulrick muttered into the warm stillness of the empty shop.
He paused, his smile fading slightly a...

“Wow…” Jeremiah murmured again, stepping forward slowly. The front of the store wasn’t elaborate, but it had a rustic charm that reminded him of Ulrick’s bakery — a warm blend of timeworn brick and weathered wood, simple yet solid. It looked like it had always been there, nestled into the alley corner like it belonged.
What had once been a crumbling alley filled with mossy bri...

2025-05-09 00:47:36 +0000 UTC View Post(AS) B3 - Lesson 13: "We Don't Negotiate With Grinning Devils."
Maggy's breath hitched as the cold edge of the blade bit gently into her skin. Her eyes flicked to Bert — still bleeding out despite Dr. Maria's frantic work — then to the monstrous grin stretched across Tuguslar's face.
"I — I don't have it," she stammered, voice shaking.
Tuguslar's grin never faltered. "Oh, come now, Miss Greenwood. We've only just met. Let's not start with ...

2025-05-08 02:04:25 +0000 UTC View Post(WLTK) B1: Chapter 34 - "Things Get A Little Grim.”
Jeremiah ducked into an empty alley and crouched in the early morning shadows behind a rusted dumpster.
Seconds later, heavy boots pounded around the corner. Three shadows streaked past the alley mouth. A fourth hesitated.
Jeremiah held his breath, pressing himself tighter against the wall. His heart thudded loud in his ears, and he silently begged, Move on. Just go. Nothing her...

Jeremiah tracked the timing of Jonny’s speed bursts through three more exchanges. The man was crafty, deliberately varying his rhythm to obscure the pattern. But the signs were there. Subtle hesitations, tiny flickers of strain. Jeremiah finally pieced it together: the timing fell into a rhythm: a 1:2 ratio. For every one second of acceleration, two seconds of downtime followed.
He coul...

The corridors of Outskirt District 4’s safehouse throbbed with a greasy sort of life. Vents rattled overhead, casting damp heat into the stale air, while flickering lights buzzed like dying insects. Distant bursts of laughter echoed down the cracked concrete halls, warped by the acoustics into something eerie. Jeremiah moved like smoke, his steps whisper-soft across the chipped tiles.

Sorry about the delay! This one WAS going to go in a totally different direction, but I didn't like where that put me for the next chapter, so I reworked it. I like this one a lot better. Tell me what you think!

Beyond the checkpoint, the hallway stretched onward, dim and stagnant, the cracked tile floor crunching faintly beneath Jeremiah’s cautious steps. He pressed his body tight against the wall, ears straining for the slightest hint of movement beyond the rasp of his own breath. The hall bent sharply to the right, and he moved with it, keeping low to the ground, muscles coiled and ready.

As the footsteps approached — not from the alleyway below, but from the elevated walkway several meters overhead — Jeremiah froze, his breath caught in his throat.
Then came the sound of a sigh, just above him, followed by the sharp flick of a lighter. A moment later, the acrid tang of cigarette smoke drifted down. Jeremiah cursed his luck and pressed tighter against the wall, melding...
