I started explaining everything ...

The Third Portal: Chapter Forty-Six

The Third Portal: Chapter Forty-Five

I stood in front of the board until my time was starting to run down, then teleported into line and started making my way up to the clerk to redeem the reward, bouncing back and forth on the balls ...

The Restored: Chapter Nineteen

I blazed across the city at the fastest speed I could manage. 

The moment Jessica’s building came into view, I let out a sigh of relief. It hadn’t been reduced to a smoking crater in...

The Restored: Chapter Eighteen

We met Hadiya at a coffee shop that was near her work. We’d been intending to come to a lab, but apparently there had been some sort of detonation there after an experiment had gone entirely wron...

TV: Television, or Treasure Vote?

The Third Portal: Chapter Forty-Four

Learning was slow, but by the time the three hour training session had completed, I was feeling confident that I’d be able to shift the arrays in my body, even after the effects of the booster fa...

Release Alert!

Hello everyone! I am happy to announce the Second Gate is out NOW!

The Third Portal: Chapter Forty-Three

Before I knew it, my meeting times with the local guild leaders had come, and the first one on my list was the leader of the Beastbody Guild. He had arranged to meet with me in a park. The city was...

The Third Portal: Chapter Forty-Two

“Something worth considering – I can make better use of additive benefits than most,” I pointed out. “The kirin spell creates synergies, even when they’re not there. Could it create a syn...

The Restored: Chapter Seventeen

Robert K. Baurm was a very average man, at least as most people in Elderglass would measure such things. He himself wouldn’t dispute his averageness, but instead, embraced it. 

He’d ...

The Restored: Chapter Sixteen

“Does it matter?” I asked after another long, silent moment. 

Rhys looked at me like I’d entirely lost my mind. Kelly’s head whipped around to stare at me. Jin’s eyebrow arched...

The Third Portal: Chapter Forty-One

“There are any number of useful third gate spells that you could take,” Ikki informed me from his seat on the other side of the table. “Outside of the obvious spells like Haste and Slow, whic...

The Third Portal: Chapter Forty

After collecting the massive chunk of null-steel that was the vault door, we spent the rest of the weekend picking over the city with Edgar, collecting mana sources, killing undead, and picking up ...

The Third Portal: Chapter Thirty-Nine

I stilled my mind, closing my eyes and extending my hand out to the slightly amorphous mass of gray light, then listened, wanting to hear what Fortune had to say. In the center of my mana-garden, t...

Medium Update

Hello! Hope everyone's doing well. I'm sending this out to let you all know I won't be able to post a chapter tomorrow, and will be a bit spotty over the next few weeks. I'm actually going somewher...

The Restored: Chapter Fifteen

It took us the better part of half an hour to fill Kelly and Rhys in on everything that had happened during our escapade, and when we finished, Kelly leaned back in the metal chairs around the dini...

“What do you mean, is there somewhere else in Elderglass?” I demanded,...

Meta Omnomnom vote

While I was making the Omnomnom vote from earlier today, I accidentally left it open to people at a lower tier than would normally be allowed to vote. I've since fixed it, but there are still about...

The Third Portal: Chapter Thirty-Eight

I spat out a curse as my mind raced. I hadn’t managed to extract everything from the internals of this nexus point, but I had most of it. There was only one component left that was absolutely, co...

The Third Portal: Chapter Thirty-Seven

I watched as Dusk closed her eyes in front of the open rift to the shadow realm, extended her hands, and began to pull. Dawn’s magic joined her own, the golden light suffusing her small form. The...

The Third Portal: Chapter Thirty-Six

I glanced at Dusk. 

“I don’t suppose you could just absorb it? That would let us break in at our leisure.” 

She let out a complex sound that layered the lapping of waves...

The Restored: Chapter Thirteen

I whipped up the heavier gun that I’d been holding and released an infused shot, layered with every bit of magic that I’d been able to pack into it during the time that Devi had been clearing a...

Probably only going to be two chapters this week: I wound up needing to take care of a bunch of personal stuff Monday, and wasn't able to write
