Check in with Vesk Prime by JackSimth

Chapter 16

We have Bob on the comms when we finally settle in to return to real space. I take a last glance at the big screen and the Drift, that infinite void, the nothingness broken up by floating pink and purple clouds of mysterious energy. We shut everything down to engage the Drift eng...

Booze by JackSimth

Chapter 21

Frank gets his kit out and goes to work. After a few minutes of testing, he chuckles, “It's not too bad… an aphrodisiac, pheromones, some sugar, some flavoring… and oh yeah, it's about a hundred fifty proof,” the elf shakes his head. “You don't have to worry about passing disease...

Switching race, gear, and buffs by JackSimth

Chapter 24

We collect the samples as spelled out in our contract, and on the way back to the Veskarium to report, I get to work on my other projects. The first is replacing my current body, as I expect most of the buffs are tied to that. It's actually surprisingly simple: I build an e...

Violently by JackSimth

Chapter 27

“Where's my suite?” The entitled client growls out as I work. “At the bottom of the port stairwell,” I answer distractedly. “You're not even going to show me to it?” I can see through the ship's cameras right now… he's frowning at me. “You seemed in a hurry to l...

About Life's Champion.... by JackSimth

Chapter 31

…'s office. And for once, he's not reading: He's pacing. Which shows off the matching slacks to go with his suit coat and tie. He's not wearing the glasses, so I turn my head down and avoid contact with his lack of eyes as I get to work. “What can I do…” he considers a...

Annoyances by JackSimth

Chapter 41

I feel that tingle in my head again, and the nice, viscerally disturbing voice gives me an answer, "Things that could happen in a normal pregnancy, within certain limits. Fatigue, back pain, cravings, nausea, that sort of thing, and magic and will work for most of it. She's...

Nobody says.... by JackSimth

Chapter 42

I think about that as I tour my upgraded ship. Not only can she not kill me, but she has to keep me alive? I come back from the dead, so it can't be my destiny that triggers the order. Which means… I part my boobs and stare at my currently flat stomach for a moment, “You have a j...

Rats! by JackSimth

Chapter 8

Detective Alice Silver wakes up eventually, and looks me in the eye, “Well good morning…” she glances around, “wait… we were in the tub all night?” I hum, feeling pleasantly warm, “Well… I'm not strong enough to pick you up, and honestly: There was an amazing, intelligent, stron...

He woke up eventually by JackSimth

Chapter 12

I watch Alice play with her new pet for an hour, chuckling and just watching her enjoy having her magic. That's about when Adam comes out in just his pants and shoes. He stares openly at the impossible beast under his partner, “Umm. What? You made a giant cat for her to pl...
