I sat on the bench and happily watched my team interact with the Angelic Avatars. Stan had been a little sore when he realized that he had been tricked by an illusion, but Michael was happy to have had a good scuffle. Jeff was leading him through a few footwork exercises in order to show the fighter exactly what he had done ...

The word about the contest had gotten out to the non-Angels in the city rather quickly, and it kept getting pushed back as more and more people began to show up. Given that their scenario had been wrapped up thanks to the arrival and help of the Heavenly Host, they had a lot of free time on their hands.

I stretched as I left the Angel Express’s Subspace Depot, leading everyone except Ash and Bethany onto the platform. Both of them had important work to do and time was becoming scarce. The Tea Witch, it seemed, was on track to finish her project before the Patron’s Ball.
Sara had already warned me of everyt...

The feeling of the train running along the tracks was always such a simple pleasure. It was the ambience. The gentle motion of rocking while moving forward, the sound of the wheels against the rails, and the constantly changing view outside. When it came to long-distance travel, I truly believed nothing could beat this.
Especially with g...

I stepped into the bowling alley with my diamond ball stowed away in a custom Sol Ligatus bag that hovered beside me. There had been few people outside due to a large meeting taking place, but those who were around saw fit to give us a warning that a powerful monster guarded the alley from within. I had thanked them and c...

I eyed the Angel in front of me wearily. My head was pounding and my body felt sluggish after reverting to normal. There was no need to check that I was out of Mental Points, but I knew my points total was fine. Sara became my source of power after my resource pool was emptied thanks to the Armor of the End.

Shortly after the slime hit the ground, he rapidly circled and surrounded me. Sharp tendrils shot out of Crokillik like bullets in an attempt to pierce my skin. I watched his approach, turning to sweep my vision over them, and I was glad I could see again.
My body reacted to my thoughts immediately as I spun and sliced through the tendrils....

I must not have turned off accessibility mode because text box after text box appeared in front of me despite my closed eyes, but I couldn’t focus enough to read any of them. Holy energy at a quantity my mortal vessel couldn’t contain zapped through me, threatening to burst free.

“Damn, this place reeks,” Jamie complained as we exited the Subspace Depot near the closest train station to the Washington D.C. barrier.

It took me a surprisingly long time to figure out exactly how I wanted to proceed. My wife, concerned, rested her hand on my leg. Or, at least, pretended to. She was still a hologram created by the Patron’s Car and wasn’t actually here to give me any physical comfort.

We took some time before congregating in the Patron’s Car. Some people were still trying to find the energy to go about their day, and Jamie still had to visit Ash after being gone for so long.

From the moment we got back on the train and over the next thirty hours of travel, Mercury and I barely got any sleep.

Every part of my body was in pain. We were covered in soil, mushroom pieces, rubble, and debris. The only thing keeping us from being completely buried was my Constructs.

I tracked the corpse of the Fission Bear flying through the air towards the Chernoshroom’s stalk via invisible strings. Given that it was still in one piece and its guts continued to glow bright orange even through its fur, it was easy to keep eyes on. Muzzling the boss so it wouldn’t have an outlet for its ...

I drank two Arcane Breakfast Teas to restore my Mental Points to a level I was comfortable with as we surveyed the carnage that laid before me. It had taken ten minutes to reduce their numbers to the double digits, and the only monsters left were those unlucky enough to be maimed but not killed. Yet, anyway.

Harvesting parts from the Seismic Plesiosaur was normally a huge ordeal. It took a while for the lava that made up its blood to cool, and then you had to cut through rock in order to get to some of the parts that were worth grabbing. The monster’s teeth and the claws on its fins were easy enough to deal with. Cut them out, toss them in your inven...

Faarax turned to get some distance from me, but ran headfirst into one of the Constructs I materialized to block him. I struck him from above, driving my knee between his wings and the Staff of Raphael against his shoulder blades. He lost altitude, and I went with him.
