Chapter 21

Shortly after I finish preparations, while I'm thinking of getting my pumps out, I get a notice from the ‘Adam’ in my head, ‘Reflective Hide is Active.’ A moment later, I see a scene. Three African women, very dark skinned, naked save for some white paint on their bodies an...

Chapter 22

Having set the coven on a demiplane that grows all the food they'll need and then some, I consider cleanup. Three dead corpses, the van, and a John Smith. Well… I do have that new ability to make tech to try out… I store the van in Extradimensional Storage, the summon insi...

Chapter 23

The first thing I do, of course, is check the email headers… which tell me the email was sent from my provider's servers - so whoever sent it has access to my account. Great. Well, I'm not exactly using a stock OS… I download it and look at the file in a simple text editor....

Chapter 24

Waiting is hard. I'm not JUST waiting, of course. I'm directing minions through making gear from stolen supplies(a Veil of Attentiveness makes mass minion management much more manageable… and it's cheap). I'm supplying spell points to my direct minions, making more with spa...

Chapter 25

Ooh, I feel terrible. I take a breath… and realize I'm alive. “Adam? How…” I'm not sure how to phrase it. ‘He’ answers anyway, ‘The artifact cuts through all otherwise-absolute defenses, has no save, does not respect SR, and devours the soul while it slays the...

Chapter 27

I know exactly when and where… so a few preparations and a few spells later… I'm in the snow, watching hundreds of people kidnapped at my order shivering in the cold. But I'm at full power now, and they're all clustered together. One invocation of the Portal function of...

Chapter 28

Ah, governments. After the show of power, I was invited to make an embassy with almost all of the UN member states. That part is no big deal: Sell some gold, buy some land, cast Resplendent Mansion, and I have a building up to 300 feet on a side with several floors in what...

Chapter 29

The Hine. Over the course of my kidnap-and-interrogate operation, I got the history of the BMM. Their roots go back to ancient Greece, and a set of a dozen people who stole a recipe - Ambrosia - from a bunch of right bastards who called themselves the Titans. The result, wh...

Chapter 2

When I wake up, I feel weird, but can't quite place it… horny, but not my normal morning wood? When I open my eyes, though, I realize I have bigger problems than feeling weird. My bed is not a stone slab, is most assuredly not in The Temple of Doom, and… oh man, am I chained in p...

Chapter 3

I find myself facing a dozen men in armor of various types. At the low end they're wearing breastplates with caps, chain coifs, and gauntlets. At the high end, full plate. They are all wearing blue tabards with a fancy compass embroidered on the front in yellow thread, and all vi...

Chapter 4

The palace is huge… and still has a tiny entrance in the curtain wall, barely big enough for two horses to go through side by side. Sir Eric passes his horse off to a groomsmen in some stables inside the Bailey, just to the left of the gate in the curtain wall after entering. I d...

Chapter 5

I follow the human woman, sad that I didn't arrive in time to get her name. But… something is nagging at me…which crystallizes when she whispers, “Of all the gin-joints, I had to fall into this one.” …because the forst half of that is something we used at our gaming table,...

Chapter 6

A crossbow bolts doesn't make a very good dagger, but they're easy to draw from storage, and it serves fine. I wait and watch until he fully commits: Orders Charles out of her clothes and onto the bed. I watch as Charles resists the fire from the tattoo for a good face seconds be...

Chapter 7

Now, I don't sleep, a basic Destruction blast costs no resources, I regenerate my health, and I'm hard to find… so I don't go to sleep while everyone else is resting off their wine. I go hunting. Your basic rat has a challenge rating of a quarter, is worth a hundred e...

Chapter 8

Mind you, the King's basic plan still makes sense. We *should* go and kill minor monsters to level up and strengthen ourselves… especially as the rat bastard who summoned us here is still out there somewhere, and was expecting that we'd oppose him… oh, and I'm absolutely going to...

Chapter 9

“I'm actually a Kitsune. I didn't go quite as power hungry as you, Dan…” he pauses, “...which I somewhat regret now, but I do have a build plan. One side is going to be a dip fest for Charisma to everything multiple times, the other…” he pauses, “...yeah, I copied the Spirit Guid...

Chapter 10

I have to squeeze into the tent. It's not one of those easy setup dome tents that get mass manufactured on earth. No, it's a staked-down canvas with a couple rods keeping the roof (such as it is) up… and it is most assuredly not big enough for four. Which makes crawling in...

Chapter 11

The next few days go by quickly enough. Charles summons his war cats, the mystery mage messages us every day to taunt someone (that ten point save penalty from him having pieces of ua really sucks… but not for me after a day or two: Once I'm fully Mythic again, I go back to borro...
