“Aqua,” Iris said, her tone carefully neutral and calm, even as the table splintered under her fingers. “Explain to me, one more time, why we have not summarily executed this mo...

Not long after the deadly swarm of demonic butterflies took flight, cars arrived, open to the air, bearing men in red hats with sunglasses and clothing like that of hunters. By their bearing and the shadow of violence that followed them, Nahida knew them to be soldiers of some kind, though bullies would perhaps be a better description. They didn...

Slowly, painfully, Kazuma drifted back to consciousness. He felt groggy and drained still, and every nerve in his body felt like it had been put through the wringer. Part of him wanted to just lie here forever, sleeping for the next year or two, but he knew he couldn’t do that. He struggled to open his eyes, and his vis...

The wind was cold and wet, with black ice slicking the road, and a biting wind from off Lake Michigan that went through the cheap hoodie she was wearing. Gripping her baseball bat, she looked across the dark parking lot, to where the two thugs were smoking and talking quietly, the stink of tobacco and cheap weed making her wrinkle her nose.

They called it the Battle of Munich. That was the official report that came out from the PRT, largely considered to be the leading expert on Endbringers and cape affairs. There was some intense discussion and arguments about if Khonsu, a name given to the monster after the fact, had indeed been an Endbringer. The alternate theory was that it had been so...
