Prologue – Caught
“[Triple Stab]!”
Syllia Zylgolor smiled as her skill went off without a hitch, piercing the Level 36 Kobold Warrior three times in quick succession, finishing it off. Her class was not typically a melee-oriented one. After all, when one thought of a Waterbender, they typically thought of someone who controlled water around them forming whips, shields, and o...

Chapter 144 – The Ship
One year after the Gel-Nak invasion was thwarted, it was time to pick up my new ship. One year was a significant amount of time, from the perspective of someone on the ground, but to build a working spacecraft with a mixture of human and alien...

Chapter 186 – The Speech
Of course, even if I wasn’t going to completely overwhelm people with my presence, that didn’t mean I would refrain from putting on a show. After all, even when ruling a country of the dead, where everyone was bound to my will, a ruler had to engage in a bit...

Chapter 143 – Meeting
(El Extraño Encapuchado, Mexico City, Mexico)
The Cloaked Stranger was a bar and grill, run by the Guild. Because even superheroes and supervillains needed to eat, and the Stranger provided a place where they could do it without worrying about secret identities. A place where they could relax, and eat without needing to worry about ‘civilians’.

“Oh, Akagawa-san, you give me the most wonderful gifts! Though I wish you could have arranged for a better time of day? Or at least let me know ahead of time so I could prepare!”
I chuckled as Holly Gibson rushed to my side the moment she entered my suite. It was the morning after I set about raising the Athelian Embassy here in New York, and Holly ...

Naturally, the marriage between Athena and I wasn’t taking place immediately. If we wanted to do things right, and send the proper message to the people of Earth, then preparations were needed. Not just for the ceremony itself, but also the messaging, and how we would work together in the future.
After all, this wasn’t a marriage of love, but a political ...

After talking things over with our hosts, Babydoll sent one of her blimp drones up. The one with the retrains unit and chameleon coating, not the one with the sniper rifle. We couldn’t bring all the drones out here on short notice, after all, so we picked the one that could help with surveillance, instead. Still had the two Steel Cougars and their heavy weapons...

A quick message to Malo after Menton left set things in motion on that front. I did not need to be personally involved in those discussions. The diplomats would do diplomat things, and eventually one of them would come to me with a proposal that I would either agree to, reject, or suggest alterations to it. Either way, I was quite comfortable delegating that kind of w...

I shifted my focus to GodNet, and the divine space I had there, for meeting with other deities.

These were deities that I was on good terms with, after all, and it wasn’t likely we were going to be talking business. W...

A delivery was waiting for us the next morning. A supply of capsule rounds for each of us, filled with the KE IV mix of concentrated insecticides. Basically, they were so nasty that just touching the stuff was like acid to bugs. Didn’t have enough rounds to go wild, but they’d help, in case we came across any of these giant bugs that were supposed to be in the ar...

Su-Yun moaned, her naked body collapsing against my chest as we finished together. Slowly, I shifted her hips up, allowing my spent length to slip out of her. She didn’t object when I guided her to the floor between my legs, her knees resting easily on the carpet as I sat on the side of the bed. Without needing ...

Twelve nautical miles from the US shore, air and water displaced, as a ship teleported into international waters. My ship. Of course, the sound was muffled, since I had taken the time to include those sorts of protection in the spell. No need to rile up the local sea life, after all.

Even in a world of magic, it would take time for the adventurers I’d hired to reach Knighthold. Sure, there was magic that allowed people to move great distances through teleportation. However, on Bluemountain, that magic typically took the form of static teleportation circles in the depths of palaces, allowing government officials to reach the lone spacep...

Hades Club Seattle was the biggest dance club in the sprawl, and operated 24/7/365. More importantly, it was actually busy during the majority of that time. Part of that was just due to the fact that modern business operated globally, so there were always people in Seattle who were operating on New York, Paris, or Neo-Tokyo time. Another part, though, was due ...

Things had moved rapidly, once I decided to have Risen Athelia apply to be part of the United Nations.

In the end, Serafina’s spell was successful. At least somewhat. According to the System, the disease being cured had two effects.
