The scenario we were given was rather straight forward.
Two unkillable Authority 5’s were thrown at us, both of them modeled after the gorilla that attacked us during our patrol. They were big, fast, and strong.
And no matter what we did to them, they wouldn’t fall. Not only that, but they were supported by some other monkeys that, while able to be killed, were constantly replac...

I've decided to make the August month free for all my Patrons. This means that come August 1st, nobody will be charged and will get everything I release during that month for free.
I just feel bad for the lack of Serum releases, so I wanted to do something nice while I work on getting it out. So just enjoy everything for the next two months.&nb...

I had been up for almost two days straight since, during the time I was supposed to sleep a night ago, I instead advanced and my mind was overloaded with energy. I couldn’t go to sleep even if I wanted to.
But now, I had finally slept and reset my system. That rest seemed to have completely solidified th...

“Good evening, John. Your table for two has been prepared.”
“Thank you.”
I nodded as we were led in. Once inside, we heard the music of the small orchestra that was playing some upbeat, jazz type music.
We took an elevator though to the 11th floor, just below the private floors.
There, we found a dozen or so booths wit...
2023-07-05 06:04:24 +0000 UTC View Post“This girl is actually going to class. What a nerd.”
I laughed when I read the message on my Aerial.
I got to the Magisterium a bit late, so classes had already started and Umara was a diligent student.
I had wanted to skip school with her, but since she was already there, I decided I may as well go through classes too.
Funnily enough, I was completely engaged.
I am in pain. I apologize for the lack of Serum, I'm trying to get motivated. Because I have so many American Isekai backlogs, they should continue coming out.
I'm sorry
After the vacuum force appeared, my body instinctively raised its defenses.
Four of the White Crystals seemed entirely empty, and because all their power was contained in the space around the chair, their desire to refill ended up exerting itself on me.
It was trying to suck out my Psyka, which was a bit scary.
But after I calmed down, I started doing as Maxwell instructed. 2023-06-30 23:19:13 +0000 UTC View Post
The Duchess sighed, seeing her child’s dreamy gaze.
“Oh how hard you’ve fallen, daughter.”
“I’m perfectly in control of my emotions! You asked about it anyway, not me!”

“It’s great to meet you all. I’ve never seen any of John’s friends or family before.”
“Oh, we haven’t either. I think he’s just a loner.”
“Would you shut up?”
I kicked Plex again as he trash talked me, making him jump and back away.
Rayla spoke.
“We all work with John at our company.”

Gianna woke from her slumber as the ground started to shake. Many others did as well, all of them exiting their raggedy residences in search of the cause.
It sounded like there was thunder and lightning striking down. Pebbles on the ground vibrated as massive booming symphonies drowned out terrified screams from nearby children.
Gianna looked over ...
“Ugh, yea, I’m stopping there.”
Letting out a belch, I set down my glass.
As I pat my stomach, Umara walked over and sat beside me on the couch.
She leaned over, looking toward the other end of the room where four people sat.
“Hey, is that Feiden?”
“Shit, I don’t even know anymore.”
I waved and let out an exasperated sigh.

Vetsmon, Feiden, Umara and Tana all heard a sound from their Aerials.
Umara’s eyes widened.
“It’s John!”
“What did he say?”
“It says, I have risen.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Oh, he told us to bring some food too.”
“Let’s go see him!”
Umara was the first to jump up, running over as the others fol...

Vetsmon, Feiden, and Tana heard Umara scream from behind.
They had been so preoccupied with the gorilla that they hadn’t had the time to look back. It was almost dead through their efforts, but they hadn’t noticed one thing.
After John emerged, they hadn’t been attacked by a single monkey. But at some point, his gunshots ceased.
They didn’t think abou...

We all looked at the puppet master with hardly concealed reluctance.

After swinging down his pickaxe, Dirk suddenly hit something hard.
This was odd since rock would normally just crumble under his strength. But this didn’t, meaning it was a deposit of Geode.
But Dirk could also sense the atrocious amount of Earth mana in the surroundings. Even rock was beginning to get as strong as steel.

It was a major branch city, and branch cities in the Otherworld were quite literal in their meaning.
A massive tree stood at the center of this city, boasting a gargantuan height of nearly 6 miles. However, this tree was merely an offshoot of the World Tree, though it happened to be one of the more important ones. 2023-06-20 06:32:00 +0000 UTC View Post
At some point the Crawler rolled off-road. We tread through some plains before heading up a large hill and finally coming to a stop.
Everyone disembarked and scanned the surroundings. There was no immediate threat, but we still had to be wary.
