The Last Drop of Hope, Chapter 28

It had started only two days after the magic came back, shortly after the defeat of Beldia. There had been enough security forces in Spoke to keep a lid on things, though the transportation network had been locked down. Clara, Becky, and Triss had at first been astonished to find they could once more use their skills, but they didn’t wait long. They had been enslaved by a pimp, and they’d d...

Sapientia Oromasdis 10: When I Awoke

Tears streamed down Nahida’s face, and she had to wipe her eyes, even as she laughed and applauded. Beside her, Hana and Sana were embracing and crying as well. Dr. Bashir had tears streaming freely, uncaring of who saw, and Rasab’s father next to him was weeping openly as well. They all watched as Rasab slowly stood up from his...

The Last Drop of Hope, Chapter 25

With her armor gone, Tina didn’t have many choices for clothing and ended up in a yellow cocktail dress. It was hardly how she’d prefer to be garbed for battle, especially against a Duke of Hell. Whatever that meant. As far as weapons went, their options were even more limited. The only remotely weaponlike things that Tina had found were some plastic hair sticks, which were better than noth...

Second Archon War: Superbia Hominim 1

1: Hero of Alexandria

Ei floated alone upon her plane of Euthymia, meditating.

Well, reading manga. She told herself she was resting after planting yet another Thunder Sakura tree, but the truth of it was, she was mentally exhausted. Mostly from having to be around and speak to people all the time. She had spent 500 years alone, and while it was good to sp...

Dark Legend of Potter: Chapter 60

Being an auror was a serious duty, and even if Tonks was typically anything but a serious person, she did treat her job soberly. She’d spent the first weeks of school up every night, faithfully patrolling the Hogwarts grounds with Blackie and keeping a sharp eye out for Sirius Black. But aside from surprising several couples who’d been doing broom closet inspection and Blackie terrorizing M...

The Second Archon War: Interlude 6

Interlude 6: Here Be Dragons

Lightning flashed over the sea of Japan, and Kenta raced with all the speed he had over the dark waters, desperately racing over the several hundred kilometers separating him from his goal. He panted, trying to put on more speed as he swam through skies, but he still feared he would be too slow. He had to make it. He had to.

There was a slightly differen...

The Second Archon War: Carmen Dei 23

Carmen Dei 23: The Vision of Europe

Dark blue waters sparkled under clear skies, and a stiff breeze blew across the canal, forcing Lumine to pull her knitted cap down on her head more tightly. Despite her wool hoodie, she still shivered a little in the late afternoon sun. Actually, checking her phone, it was well after 7pm, but the sun was still well above the horizon. The colorful buildi...

The Last Drop of Hope, Chapter 25

The new headquarters of “President Alexi” was the lavish grounds of the former President of NyteTech Fellos’ personal penthouse, high up in a massive skyscraper near the center of the city. The area around the base of the building was a heavily fortified warzone, with burned out cars and smaller buildings, massive barricades, and heavy weapons emplacements. The entire place was thronging ...

Sapientia Oromasdis 9: Childlike Wonder

This chapter was accidentally briefly put up early, so some may have already seen it. Here it is properly for the rest of you. 

Like most young children, Nahida often had dreams of flying. Unlike most young children, Nahida actually could fly, either in the Dream or in the waking world. Her flying was more like ...

The Second Archon War: Imperatrix Umberosa 19

Imperitrix Umberosa 19: After the Thunder Comes the Rain

For the past month after both the official conclusion of the Third Sino-Japanese War, and the less official end, Noriko had been eternally grateful that her girlfriend was a pirate who stole magical electrical crystals. Without that, she would have been forced to resort to being a barbarian or one of those ancient sticks in the mud ...

The Last Drop of Hope, Chapter 25

Dragging himself down the hallway, Kazuma let out a groan. “Why do we always have to do things so damn early? We could just as easily leave at noon as the crack of dawn…”

“So we can ambush the sluggards and kill them before they know what hit them!”

Kazuma jumped about three feet up in the air when a giant dark blade appeared before him with a soft pop. He ended up falling...

Sapientia Oromasdis 8: Once Upon a Dream

On the morning of Eid, Farasha was quiet at the breakfast table. Bashir asked her if she was alright, and she brushed it off with a laugh and smile before turning contemplative again.

Nahida, of course, knew exactly what was going on, even if she tried not to.

Dreams were her domain, but mortal minds didn’t respond to dreams ...

This Goddess Must Be Crazy, Chapter 49

Kazuma had always hated Teleporting. It made him feel like he’d just had his ears popped and gave him a headache. Teleporting to an insane death world slash final boss location also typically made him feel like he was going to puke. He had Chunchumaru out, one hand in front of Megumin, and every single one of his senses on high alert as they all popped back into reality in-

Imperitrix Umberosa 18: Dark Clouds Over Troubled Waters

Standing over the ashes that once were graves, Ei felt a dampness on her face. She reached up, touching her cheek, then pulled her hand back to regard her own tears. She closed her eyes, imagining the sakura blossoms once more.

Transience.

Opening her eyes, Raiden looked up to the sky. The Sustainer of Heavenly ...

Dark Legend of Potter, Chapter 57

Once, the Chamber of Secrets had been a dismal sewer long forgotten and abandoned by everyone, save for one very lonely (but quite lovely) giant snake. Now, however, it was a bar, where Professors and Seventh Year students could enjoy the tasteful decor, as well as world-class drinks served by the new bartender.

Well, except for one Professor, but that was her own fault, really.

Sapentia Oromasdis  7: Fertile Ground

For once, Nahida had trouble sleeping. This was a new experience for her, because typically she could simply step into the world of dreams and go to bed whenever she felt like it. Today was December 4th, 2002, and that meant that the next day was Eid al-Fitr.

The previous four weeks had been the month of Ramadan, which had meant fasting fro...

Sapientia Oromasdis 6: Through Mists of Smoke and Forests Dark

Gently, Bashir opened the door, the soft buzz of medical equipment filling the air. His eyes instantly rested on the young woman sitting and looking rather peeved on the hospital bed, dressed in a hospital gown. Seeing him, she relaxed slightly, giving him that crooked smile that he’d always found so irre...

Last Drop of Hope, Chapter 24

With all her might, Tina tried to surge forward, tried to put herself between Beldia’s blow and Claire, but it was like her muscles were made of rubber, her feet were made of lead, and the air itself had turned to soup and was dragging at her. That horrible black blade came down as Claire screamed, her eyes boring into Tina’s, and blood sprayed and-
