Okay, so it was less hunting and more like walking around for hours hoping to randomly stumble onto a crime. I swear that before I started actively looking for crime that I would see at least a half dozen muggings just walking around. Now? Fuck! This is so damned annoying!
Thankfully, I just got another message for a nearby assault in progress. So, naturally, I break into a sprint and hea...
2023-02-12 17:22:18 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a full hour and thirty-two minutes for the evil pieces inserting into Junichiro's body to complete his transformation into a devil. He felt and recorded every last change as they came and he had to admit, he was impressed. Every last aspect of his physical body had been enhanced by several magnitudes. As for his metaphysical body, his magical power had been fully converted to demonic po...
2023-02-10 16:53:12 +0000 UTC View PostRaynare was scared. No, she was terrified. No, what was beyond terrified? She didn't know the proper word but something had to be worse than being terrified. Whatever the case may be, she was beyond terrified as she flew toward the old abandoned church. She had to get as far from the monster she'd awoken as she could. She needed to warn her companions and then they all needed to flee for their ...
2023-02-09 18:36:59 +0000 UTC View PostRaynare found herself growing more and more excited as she walked deeper into the park while arm in arm with Junichiro. Oh, she was so looking forward to ripping him to shreds! She'd scouted this place previously and found the area by the fountain to be surprisingly empty most early evenings. She'd originally picked it because it was the perfect romantic spot to end a great date and fill her ta...
2023-02-09 18:35:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe room went quiet after Rias's blurted invitation to join her peerage. Junichiro tossed the Caster Guns out of his hands and into the air. Once he stopped holding them, they began to disintegrate into motes of light, a feature of the bracelets. He studied Rias for a brief time before asking, “Isn't that the method used by devils over the last few centuries to enslave other races?”

2023-02-09 18:34:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe next day I left my shitty little apartment dressed in some of my older and more worn out clothing. I didn't see the point of wearing decent clothing when I was likely going to end up with blood all over everything. Besides, it wasn't like I had anything thick or good enough to qualify as armor in any sense of the word. And believe me, I checked. The most 'armor' offered by anything I owned,...
2023-02-09 18:32:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe night passed without incident. At most a normal animal or a weak monster could have come by, but after clearing the area of the goblins, nothing had come by. After a breakfast of leftover stew, Axel cast his new favorite utility spell, “Pack Camp.”
It was fascinating to watch as everything that made up his camp packed itself in a neat and orderly fashion. In moments his camp was p...
2022-05-24 16:48:34 +0000 UTC View PostWith the crazy stuff done for the day, Axel moved deeper into the copse of trees and looked around for the various herbs he wanted to collect. Like many commoner children, he’d been educated on what herbs were good for what uses. Whether they were herbs for cooking or medicine, every herb that could be useful was drilled into his head. He just needed little refreshers here and there.

2022-05-11 20:17:08 +0000 UTC View PostAxel grinned brightly as he looked over his new spells. He’d spent last night in the same inn and now he’d been tought a bunch of spells by the mages he hired through the guild. He couldn’t wait to try some of them out.
Firebolt - Rank 1 (0%)
The most basic of fire spells that shoots a small ball of flames that have a chance of setting th...
2022-05-09 20:10:01 +0000 UTC View PostOnce he arrived at the Wizard’s Emporium, Axel immediately went to a catalog and began to browse through the spells. Using the provided quill, ink, and paper, he began to make a list of spells he wanted, the names of the people selling them, and their prices. He didn’t want to spend everything he had but he was prepared to spend most of it. He still had the staff and Giant Skull he could se...
2022-05-04 08:32:16 +0000 UTC View PostAxel smiled happily and threw his hands in the air in his excitement, “Yes! My first dungeon cleared!”
In his excitement, Axel did a little dance that he would have been supremely embarrassed by had anyone seen him. Once his excitement settled, he opened his Magic Box and pulled out the Staff of the Fire Adept.

2022-04-23 03:41:35 +0000 UTC View PostSleeping inside of a dungeon was not a comfortable experience for Axel. The floor was uncomfortable and despite being inside a safe room, he still felt like it was dangerous. As if he could be attacked at any moment. It was just something he would have to get used to with time. That, or find a way to kill everything inside of the dungeon all at once. Somehow he doubted that even he would be abl...
2022-04-18 17:53:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe next room was about the same size as the previous one and contained two skeletons as well. Axel quickly crushed the two of them, gaining a few more levels and some more bone powder. With no exit to the room, he was left with only taking the last remaining path from the entry.
In less than twenty feet he found another path on the right leading into another hallway. It was a short walk,...
2022-04-13 22:13:55 +0000 UTC View PostAxel lay in his comfortable bed luxuriating in the afterglow of a delicious meal. So far the quality of the food and the bedroom in the inn had made it worth every last silver. He’d even managed to hear a couple of interesting things.
Apparently, outside the city, the number of wild undead has been increasing lately. Nothing overly alarming but something to be aware of when traveling. N...
2022-04-13 06:13:48 +0000 UTC View PostAxel followed the directions he was given and quickly found the Wizards Emporium. It wasn’t extremely busy, with one person working the counter and a couple of people milling around near large tomes on pedestals. The tomes contained lists of spells and the names of Mages willing to teach them. Axel made a move directly toward an unoccupied one.
He really wanted some inspiration for spel...
2022-04-13 06:12:46 +0000 UTC View PostAfter he finished hugging his mother, Axel looked at the staff and practically bubbled with excitement, “I’ve been looking forward to trying this. Store!”
As soon as he finished saying the word ‘store’ the staff in his hand vanished from sight. A quick glance at his status page showed it was still considered equipped. Looking at his childish excitement brought a smile to Shara, ...
2022-04-13 06:11:15 +0000 UTC View Post“N-no… NO!”
Hearing the exclamation from Axel, the elderly Priest looked down at him with concern, “Is there something wrong, young Axel?”
Axel looked up at the Priest, a look of disbelief on his face, “My trait… It’s class-specific… To a Mage.”
The Priest let out a sigh and gently pat Axel on the back, “I’m sorry to hear that, but worry not! Fortunatel...

On a warm summer's day, a gentle breeze blew through the air and ruffled the dark black hair of a young man. He sat on an old tree stump that’d been sat on so much over the years that it actually looked polished. Emerald green eyes stared out over a large field of wheat swaying gently in the breeze. He plucked at his linen shirt to...
2022-04-13 06:06:00 +0000 UTC View PostZeke once again found himself in darkness with no sensation. It was starting to get a little old, really. Then it hit him, he felt freezing cold, and wet. That didn't bode well. Then came the muffled and strange sounds. He wanted to open his eyes, really he did, yet once again he was just a passenger and not in control. As he found himself hating the situation, he felt a sharp pain and started ...
2021-05-12 11:16:59 +0000 UTC View PostTo say Zeke was disappointed with alien medicine wouldn't be right or wrong. It was interesting and yet boring at the same time. For a start, it wasn't the high-class job being a doctor back on Earth was. On Earth, Zeke figured it took something like a decade of education to become a basic doctor and more to specialize. He didn't know for certain since it wasn't something he was interested in. ...
2021-05-10 05:55:48 +0000 UTC View PostZeke gave a start as he found himself locked in darkness without any senses available to him. His very first thought was that he had died. His next was almost as disturbing, he remembered every moment of his experience a moment before. He could now remember living two full lives and found himself getting confused. He knew, without question, that his life as Ezekiel Rose was his real life. The l...
2021-05-09 11:30:32 +0000 UTC View PostZeke no longer wanted to run, even after seeing the monster before him. Instead, he felt himself becoming one with the body he inhabited. Mentally, he was grinning just as ferally as Barak. Before them, begging to feast on their blade, were the warriors of the enemy. Massive humanoid beings wearing hardly more than a loincloth. Their huge bodies looked human, just as the attack dogs had. They e...
2021-02-07 23:20:09 +0000 UTC View PostZeke sat in the darkness of his mind for a few moments before light suddenly flooded his vision. The sight that he saw made him want to quake in fear. Yet, no matter how much he wanted to feel fear, he couldn’t. Rather, he felt confident, overconfident even. He felt his fighting intent brimming. He wanted nothing more than to fight, kill, slaughter, and decimate his enemies. Then he wanted to...
2021-02-07 23:18:59 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the teacher left the room, the students began to buzz as they discussed their lives and recent events. All except one. The young man that had been staring out of the window continued to do so. He wasn’t much to look at. Average height, average looks, dark blonde hair, and blue eyes. Aside from that, he was so skinny he almost looked anemic yet he was healthy. The only thing that made hi...

In an average school, filled with average kids, an average-looking middle-aged man in an average suit stood at a podium and addressed his class of average teenagers. His opening sentence at the beginning of morning class causing all of them to...
2021-02-07 23:05:43 +0000 UTC View PostAlright guys. As some may know from Discord, I've come back after being away for various reasons. Some mundane, some extremely personal. I don't really want to talk about it, to be honest. I do want to make some announcements so you all can decide if you wish to continue to support me.
Firstly, I will not be continuing Age of Gods anytime soon. I am not completely giving the story up but ...
2021-02-07 22:52:30 +0000 UTC View PostThomas dropped onto a simple chair made of stone and let out a long tired sigh. He'd been digging for over six hours and still hadn't found a single Mercury Emerald. As for the chair, he decided to relax on, a simple use of his Transmutation had made one not just for himself but for Snowlily as well. There was plenty of stone debris to use in their quick construction. He looked at Snowlily and ...
2020-06-18 22:37:20 +0000 UTC View PostThomas looked over the quest notice and nodded to himself. At least this time the experience reward was worthwhile. He needed so much experience to increase his attributes now that small amounts didn't even phase him anymore. He knew his rush earlier and showing off his materials and skills before Fokgrag could even issue the quests had robbed him of a bit of experience but he didn't care. He w...
2020-06-05 17:53:50 +0000 UTC View PostThomas looked over the rewards from the quest and sighed to himself in disappointment. Was rebuilding the whole house perfectly using his transmutation ability not enough for Fokgrag? Did he expect Thomas to rebuild the place encrusted in gold and gems or something like that? What the hell? Or was the increase in reputation the bonus reward? If it was... fuck that reward. He didn't really like ...

Thomas walked through the streets of the Dwarven city and made his way directly toward Fokgrag's house. On the way, Fokgrag kept asking Thomas what he planned to do but Thomas didn't bother answering him. The man would see him in action soon enough and have even more questions then. Everyone always did. Fokgrag's thinking was clearly that Thomas would have to pay construction worke...
