Almost immediately, the Stone Troll lunged for me as a Priority, forcing me to engage my various implants in order to avoid the surprise attack by the Troll. In a flash, my blade was out and parrying a claw strike to the side. Ruggiero wasn't quite so lucky. The raking claw of the Troll's left arm struck him in the helmet, causing sparks to fly as the vile, filth-encrusted talons, hardened by C...

Here we have the images for Chapter Seven, including Sakai Town and its various sights. Sakai Town really is supposed to be largely mercantile, with the Merchants and Lord growing rich off of the trade it does in Iron, Plums, and Persimmons. It's actually on a similar level to much larger towns, like Tanzaku-Gai, because of that wealth. Hopefully, these images show that.
At any rate, the ...

Jackie'd been curious as to why Bruce'd called him up to go over to Wayne Manor at nine in the goddamn morning. It ain't like there was a shitload of problems going on in Gotham right now, after all. Most of the guys that usually fucked with the city were out of play at the moment, so shit was pretty quiet. About the only thing Jackie could think of that Bruce'd wanna talk about was the shit th...

It became clear almost as soon as we pressed deeper into the tunnels of the Arabyan Settlement that this was no mere outpost. A full town had been raised here inside these crags and deep underground. A veritable cavern-city, in fact, replete with homes, shops, and everything. From the way the tunnels zig-zagged, however, it was clear that this place had been a fortress. It was also clear from t...

Here we have the images for the Penultimate Chapter of the Prologue Section of the Fic. I'm fairly pleased with how these turned out, if I'm being honest. I hardly ever have to do multiple tries for images unless it's something esoteric anymore, so I think I'm getting to be decent with the Image Generators I use.
At any rate, the next chapter will be the final battle with the Umberlants i...

As we sailed toward Caer Jannath on Cadfael Island, it became clear immediately that the Umberlants had been abandoned by any Pirates or Zhentarim Allies that had previously been helping them. Furthermore, it seemed like they only had a few credible threats to our forces remaining in the Town. Mostly, we were facing off against Impressed Citizens from Cadfael Island who'd been given the relativ...

Florian Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor seemed less crowded than I would have thought, which served me just fine, as I was still a bit shaken up by the vision I'd just had of Lockhart and that extremely blatant and dark misuse of the Mind Arts. To make a Perfect Thrall within minutes when it normally took months' worth of Imperius Curses to achieve the same end was horrifying. If that was somethin...

I took Asuma-Sensei's latest team out of the Village Bright and Early the morning after selecting a Mission. We made our way out of the gate and headed North through the Woods. It would take us two days of travel to reach Sakai Town on the Border, where Hakage and Natsu provinces met near the borders of Rice and Hot Springs Countries. We would begin our search for the Crimson Flake Bandits ther...

At any rate, the next chapter will include the actual Delve into the Arabyan Ruins of the City of Zarw...

As we made our way out of Alynda to the West, the more fertile, grassy areas closer to the Tana Dante River gave way to a sort of Savanna-like Hilly Badlands that would have been all right for doing things like grazing sheep, horses, and cattle, if not for the fact that there were Greenskins in the area to watch out for. They would spot such herds fairly quickly, gut whoever was tending the her...

Here we see the Images for Chapter Thirty-One. A lot of new characters to go with the new Universe. As noted, the MC's Augments were covered up by Vulcan, so he looks like a completely normal, if experienced, Twenty-Six-Year-Old Noble. I'm actually fairly happy with how these all turned out as well.
At any rate, the next chapter will involve the MC and his New Companions entering the Hill...

We set our ambush up alongside the Maidenpool Road, in a hilly area that was around partway between Haypile and the Town of Ironmonger's Corner. The idea being that the hills would allow us to hide our ambush force in such a way that the enemy wouldn't see it until it was too late. Once our ambush had been set, I sent out some cavalry to further bait the trap. The idea was that the Cavalry woul...

The Flight back to South Town was a long one. Almost fifteen hours passed on the flight, which gave me plenty of time to rest. It was as I was sleeping that more music came to me in my dreams, and I busted out the pen and paper and began jotting down musical notation and lyrics. It was a good way to pass the time, especially since the in-flight movie was some low-budget Bobby Bowfinger B-Movie ...

Amanda had to admit, this had been the toughest job she'd ever pulled. That was saying a lot, too, as Amanda had pulled jobs that most would have balked at. She'd stolen the Olmec Statue of the Silver Monkey from the home of Moco, a bigshot in the Mexican Cartel Scene. Of course, this had been before Moco had gotten himself killed by a gun-toting Mariachi Guitarist a few years back. Moco had st...

The rest of the weekend passed by in a flash. There was so much to arrange and do, and it all tended to blur together in my mind. For instance, we had to set up a press conference announcing our engagement, make plans to notify and talk to the Archon about Apollo, plan the wedding, and more. Honestly, a lot of the details were handled by staff members, though the press release was one that had ...

Coeus and Erebus have already been captured, which just leaves Asteria and Leto free to wage the defense on the ground.
At any rate, the next chapter is going to be Erlang Shen doing diplomacy with the ...

I was tired and slightly bruised from the whole ordeal, but that wasn't anything that a fatigue cure and healing potion couldn't handle. I had such potions prepared, making them in batches between missions for just such an eventuality. As I ...

Looking down, I realized that I had a new body.

I clashed with the Elven Bladesinger almost as soon as the Commanders of the Divine Maelstrom attacked us, lunging for him as soon as he entered range to do so. However, as Discordant Note screamed in at him, its point deflected off of an invisible barrier, allowing him to close the range and strike for my head. I dragged Discordant Note away from the shield spell, just barely managing...
