I woke up to the sound of pounding on my door. Not urgent pounding, granted, but someone wanted me to wake up. It was annoying and I tried to ignore it, but they were insistent and I ev...
2023-06-13 22:54:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe owner of the Daylight Dreamer Inn was not what I expected. Though to be fair that was probably more my issue than his. He looked younger than I'd thought, but reconsidering Ascendan...
2023-06-12 22:23:21 +0000 UTC View PostThere were training grounds on the guild premises, of course. I expected them to cost points, but from what I could tell, most of them didn’t. Cecily had led me here, seeming excited to hang out....
2023-06-12 18:41:12 +0000 UTC View PostHad some fun with this chapter, and I thought it was fun to subvert expectations here lol.
When Zeke had mentioned the bazaar, I had assumed we would be attending some small gathering of stalls. Maybe some tents, a few blankets on the ground. The word invoked images of a temp...
2023-06-09 22:35:47 +0000 UTC View PostAfter I got back to the dorm I was torn on what to do. I’d learned a lot about myself, and about my mom, and my dad. Hell, I’d learned a lot about the world. All of that was kind of distant tho...
2023-06-09 21:26:38 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, we all got packed up, ready to leave and prepared to set off. Cass was sobbing uncontrollably, hugging each of us in turn and begging us not to go, and I wasn't the on...
2023-06-08 21:03:02 +0000 UTC View PostFun auction and a bit of discussion with some local powerhouses.
A month. A month of wishes, a month of stat gains. Slow and steady, constantly trying to build up my friends. Benny and Jessie were both within reach of F-rank. With Jessie's regular in...
2023-06-07 20:45:52 +0000 UTC View PostMy stomach was turning as I walked home. I didn’t know why. I had no reason to be afraid. I was just going to talk to my dad. But I had the most terrifying queasy feeling. Like something was goin...
2023-06-07 17:10:53 +0000 UTC View PostThe ceremony was held at the same arena as the finals. A huge luxurious building (without even the wear from the battle, which they had repaired) and pretty huge. Forty thousand people ...

2023-06-06 18:17:19 +0000 UTC View PostHealing or not, we had to carry Abel out of the arena. My mentor was in bad shape, though not as bad as the armor double Midknight had been using, which had been mostly destroyed. Calli...
2023-06-05 21:47:33 +0000 UTC View PostI groaned as I walked into the Basic Hammering class. Weeks of training, constant practice, absurd amounts of money and so many crystals I was counting them in my dreams. I was now halfway into the...
2023-06-05 20:45:56 +0000 UTC View PostI screwed up and posted this as a text file instead of the link, but since the links actually update fixes in real time I'm just replacing it.
Back to some old favorites, merges and fun business stuff for a bit. I had a ton of fun with this one.
It took me almost no time to figure out what that mask did from context. Illusions, obviously. But despite knowing that I also knew I had no chance of piercing through them. No one here...
2023-06-02 21:49:11 +0000 UTC View PostGetting through my next day’s classes was annoying and tedious, but I managed. I paid special attention to the glares, and as I expected the students with the most powerful families seemed to fee...
2023-06-02 21:47:22 +0000 UTC View Post"You have a lot of guts coming here like this." With the words came a tide of power, pushing back the aura of the two B-rankers through his own and with sheer force of personality. Zeke...
2023-06-01 21:53:48 +0000 UTC View PostThis one was tricky. Trying to let Nicky grow a bit after his session with Ingrid without losing his vibe. I think I balanced it pretty well, but let me know what you think.
Roland Wilder, the man known as the Walking War, was every bit as terrifying as his moniker suggested. While Firn battled with the Hyde (who was managing to just barely degrade her perm...
2023-05-31 20:42:51 +0000 UTC View Post“Son of a bitch!” I snarled, hurling the metal frame of my knitting project across the room after the yarn burned up for the hundredth time. Turning to glare at my roommate, who was trying not ...
2023-05-31 18:26:08 +0000 UTC View PostThree days of downtime passed far more quietly than expected. Granted, it wasn't my downtime, it was Abel's, but still I'd figured I'd be more nervous about the last round. My odd sense...
2023-05-30 23:04:48 +0000 UTC View PostSome politics and subterfuge, something the story has been lacking for a while lol
By the time we got home, Zeke was already there. He always beat us back, which was fine, but I had other things to address. Questions for Abel, more specifically. "Ok." I said heatedly....
2023-05-29 22:24:38 +0000 UTC View PostOne of the things I was going to miss about having time to myself was sleeping in. I didn’t always do it, but I always had the option. Somehow, I was less tired when I woke up naturally, as oppos...

2023-05-28 23:53:19 +0000 UTC View PostNew chapter up. Had some fun with this. Going for an Eyes Wide Shut vibe, which is tough since I never saw Eyes Wide Shut, but the general debauchery is there for this party. It's a fun way to get ...
