Chapter 2

Taylor tapped on the **Status** option, hoping for some answers, only to feel her stomach drop when a new screen popped up. Her name appeared at the top, glaring at her with uncomfortable familiarity. **Name: Taylor Anne Hebert** **Race: Human (Parahuman)** **Alignment: Earth*...

Chapter 4

There probably isn’t much point in running. Whoever’s behind this can casually teleport me across the world, possibly _worlds_, so it’s not like I could get away, even if I tried. And where would I even go? This clearly isn’t the US. It might not even be a _real_ place, despite h...

Chapter 5

I come up with an idea, glancing back down the path I’d already covered. I didn’t want to lose all the little soldiers I still had, so I backtrack a bit, just far enough to reach a few more pockets of life. Once I can feel a decent number of them, I command the bugs to come to m...

Chapter 6

Staring up at the stone walls of the fortress, I wrap my arms around myself and begin looking for another way in. Unfortunately, it takes a total of ten steps before figuring out that there isn't one. To my right is a mountain wall I \*know\* I can't climb, while to my left is a...

Chapter 7

I froze for a second, staring at the rope dangling from the wall, my mind going blank before my brain kicked into gear. Crap. I fumbled with the knot, fingers stiff from the cold as I untied it and stuffed the length of rope into my bag. My heart was pounding, the echoes of the c...

Chapter 8

The title "Rescue the Little Sisters" caught my eye immediately, like a warning bell going off in the back of my mind. It was the kind of unease you get when you walk down a dark street and feel like you're being watched—subtle, but undeniable. Then I read the description, and y...

Chapter 9

And just like that, I was dropped directly into the sea, surrounded by the burning wreckage of a plane. The cold bite of the sea hit me like a shock to the system, my body twisting in the water as I tried to get my bearings. I had no idea which way was up or down; everything was...

Chapter 10

I barely had time to react, but instinct took over as I ordered every bug in my range to swarm the woman. Spiders, ants, flies—anything nearby rushed toward her. It wasn’t fast enough. Not enough of them managed to get to her in time to do any real damage. The few that did bite d...

Chapter 11

I stared at the vial of red liquid in my hand. I couldn’t lie—I was tempted. How could I \_not \_be? I’d spent months wishing I’d gotten a cooler, flashier, power. Something like flight, super strength, or lasers. And Lightning Bolt sounded really close to at least one of those....

Chapter 12

I stayed rooted to the spot, heart pounding as the Big Daddy lumbered closer. Its heavy diving suit clanked with each step, the sound reverberating through the narrow hall. The entire torso was covered by a thick metal carapace, dented and scratched from previous fights. The head...

Chapter 13

Taking a deep breath, I approached the crying girl from behind. My mission was to rescue twenty-one "little sisters". That was a lot. Who knows if I'll even be able to find that many! Besides, I couldn't just _leave_ her here, not after I... she won't have anyone to protect her f...
