Prologue V
Everyone, A Call to the Great Forest
The world is in turmoil. Mediums and Oracles from across the land have all gotten word of the first sign of the apocalypse happening. The world that had been quiet for millennium was now suddenly at a breaking point as an ancient evil managed to break its way free from the depths of the earth. In the Great Forest, where the last bastio...

When a PI is More than Just a Private Dick
Maniacal Laughter.
You ever hear sandpaper grind against metal? No, well you are probably lucky. If you have, then imagine that decibel of noise driven up to eleven and you might understand the pitch being produced by the now exposed Prolaxian Infiltrator (PI). Then to make matters worse, the PI after ca...

When Milk Runs Turn Sour
There is always that moment when you fully test out a new piece of gear in live combat. You can use the equipment, move around in it, and even do a little dance. Just know that everything changes when you go to live combat. Then depending on the scale of the live combat certain tests wouldn’t even matter. Take for instance the scuff test. What g...

Ezma Loren, now the queen of her dominion. Her dominion of course was wherever she happened to be. Seven years ago, sparked the start of her transformation. From when she went from being the weaker portion of an old-world law pact and had been set free. Her freedom of course came in a baptism of fire. One that started with her slaughtering ...

I opened it up so that the $5 tier gave you the option to have one of the stories or both.
Also know that I will open up all posts here before the end of the month to be read under the $1 per month price.

Mid-Life Crisis
These new Prolaxians were tough. Well tougher than the normal ones. We found that there were two new types, the Mental and Magical kinds. Both were resistant to my Mind Rend. While I could still use Mind Rend to find them, the effects of Mind Rend on them were less than ideal. There was no effect at all. No, just because I couldn...

But I think this arc is already showing itself to be one of Lykan realizing he can't change the world by himself. As such he will continue to gain friends and allies that will rise up with him.
Anyways, thank y...
First of all, thank you all for continuing to be with me throughout this process.

I might try to do something so people can/will only receive one of the stories. So if you don't like Outcast, no problem just click on the 13th Loop only Patreon option. I will also have a tab for both, but that tab for both will be the current one we are usin...
Interlude VI
“To what do I owe the honor?” Admiral Lemitov commander of the First fleet asked the famous, though retired Mave.
Mave to her part gave the military hand signal for silence. Normally such requests from civilians would not be accepted. However, Mave held a certain high position during her time in the military, and even now commanded respect from many of thos...

Acronyms Decryptions and Drugs: ADD
I am there holding the details of the ten-day contract in my hand, and I pause. For a second I was half tempted to sign. Then I realize a few things. First, the contract only states that it will take me to the unspecified location, nothing about taking me back once the contract is complete. Second, I have money now, even after having to...

Lykan
Family Ties
Taking out the guards were one thing as they were little more than lumbering lummoxes. Easily dispatched with swift concise movements. Now this new group, they were hard to detect as they were completely devoid of mana. Also, their tolerance to qi seemed to be high, as they seemed to ignore the static pulses of qi that Lykan subtly produced.

The Bro-Code
“You five just picked the wrong easy mark.” I say as I begin to smile brightly.
The leader of the band of thugs down below pauses for a second, then looks at me like I am stupid. “There are only four of us.”
With that I raise my eyebrow at him and then look up over my left shoulder. I am not afraid of the four, even with my peripheral visi...

My Reunions are Froth with Disappointment
“Momma?” The stone-cold killer Rayquel says, as she enters the holding cell that I am still in. Perhaps a bit of a back brief is required. Two weeks have passed since I got back to this timeline. Don’t worry, my case never went to court-martial, I am being released from all human military contracts and obligations, so long a...

A Court-Martial, An Inheritance, And A Family Reunion: Not in that Order
One thing that every human in the military has the right to is trial by Court-martial. Any time you get an article 15 for disobeying direct orders that led to the eradication of a hostile enemy force, do so. Honestly, see how your peers think of you, regardless of how you saved them all. This is a fu...

“Break apart. Return to base! Exercise over!” DI Hopewell shouted.
There is a moment, a calm before the storm of battle. The moment you realize the enemies are right there, and they have recognized you. That one moment, that is all you must change the course of a battle. This moment is what I mentally call the great equalizer. See after this mome...

Admiral Lemitov watched in wide eyed horror, as an unknown fissure was created seemingly out of nowhere. Worse, this fissure proceeded to release wave after wave of Prolaxian horrors to the universe. There was no build up, no spatial anomalies, no buildup of energy particles. Instead, there was just nothingness one second. Then the next there were monsters.
Worse, the o...

Kosha’s face burned from where she had been punched. She had failed her awakening ceremony. Only the new boy Marsh had shown her any sympathy.
“Just hold out a little longer. Hope will be waiting for you.” The boy said, before he was forced away. The boy was of course impressive, strong muscles and already noted as exceptional by th...

A Second Awakening Day
Lykan was impressed to find that his knowledge of the traditional routes taken by the inspectors was still accurate. Despite how much time had passed since his first Awakening day. He had lived and experienced fourteen years of life. In fact, more of his life now had been awakened, than the time required to lead up to his awakening. Tha...

You ever do trust falls? You know acts of trust where you randomly fly up about twenty feet into the air, only to get knocked out by an unknown mind spike of force and fall into your dashing partner’s arms? No? No random butterfly wings of flight? No prince charming to save you when you, like Icarus, fly too high?
Well, here is your chance. Go ahead...

Angels. Well angels, gods, or divine beings. Those were the words he would use to describe his saviors. He had hidden for so long in his hiding spot that he was certain he had died.

There are times when you work as a team that things get heated. Thoughts are said that should likely be avoided uttering ever.

“Welcome Mr. Goldman-X, or do you just prefer the name Goldman?” The monster before me said, in words that sounded surprisingly smooth coming from a monstrous mouth. A gulped audibly. With just one glance I realized I was in far, far too deep to get out.

A flash of qi erupted in the sky the moment Lykan slew the dhampyr queen. Of course, at the time Brenna and her young ward had no way of knowing that the monster who had infested the lands was a dhampyr queen. All that was known for certain was that the boy’s body froze up every time he took a step towards the village.
