Victor 11.32 - Diplomacy
Here's today's chapter! Thanks for reading and supporting :)-Plum32 – DiplomacyWhen Victor stepped out of his portal, into the workshop located in his private quarters, he paused there, contemplating the vault-like door to his cultivation chamber.

Enjoy today's chapter :)-Plum57 – Schemes“What do you mean by that?” Oscar asked, shifting his feet and glancing down at his bow.“Yeah, what?” the younger guy, Silas, asked, pushing past the woman who’d been trying to calm him down.

Victor 11.31 - Invitations
I'm back! Yay! Thanks for your patience, everyone. :) LitRPG Con was really cool - definitely recommend.

Plum's Going to be Absent Notice
Hey all! Sorry for the last-minute notice. I know I told you all I'd be going to LitRPG Con this weekend in Denver, but I don't think I made clear that I don't think I'll be able to keep up my writing during that time. So, if that wasn't obvious, I'm afraid that I'll be away from home from tomorrow through Monday, and new chapters are unlikely.I'm very sorry for tha...
AA 1.56 - Sleep Deprived
Hope you enjoy today's chapter! Thanks for reading and supporting the story!-Plum56 – Sleep DeprivedAndy lay in his bed, windows open to the cool breeze, thankful that in that regard at least, the System seemed to have wrought a pleasant change over the desert. The more he thought about it, though, the more he wondered if that were true. If it were this much cooler in the middle of summer, w...
Victor 11.30 - A Full Stomach
Here we go! Thanks for reading and for supporting this story -- even here on book eleven, I still love writing it. :)Cheers,Plum30 – A Full StomachThe wolf-like man snarled, but he immediately backed off. He saw how ineffective his aura was against Victor and, what’s more, he surely felt the weight of Victor’s mountainous intent. He turned, gave Vracia a parting, red-eyed glare, and then mov...
Vainglory Book 1 Launch Day!

AA 1.55 - Aftermath
Thanks for reading, everyone!Enjoy~-Plum55 – AftermathWhen Andy reached the top of the trail, he was met with a large crowd of residents, most of them holding makeshift weapons. In a way, he felt good seeing them there; they looked ready to fight. On the other hand, he was leading two prisoners at spear-point, and there was murder in the eyes of more than one trailer park resident when they real...
Victor 11.29 - Vagabond's Reach
Hey, how about a Victor of Tucson chapter to help you enjoy this relaxing Sunday?Thanks for the support!-Plum29 – Vagabond’s ReachVictor soared in a broad, swooping glide toward the distant figures, occasionally looking down to see if his falling magma was doing any damage to the vast, golden grassland. The air was cool, though, and he was high; the bits of liquid rock quickly cooled to smokin...
Neon Dust 2.46 - Changing the Game
Enjoy today's chapter :)Appreciate you all reading!-Plum46 – Changing the GameAs Tony approached the door, he was startled when his comms came back online and Glitch’s voice came through. “We’re on the local net, using encrypted data. It’ll take them hours of sifting to notice our traffic. Sorry, I should have thought of this when we were talking a minute ago, but my head was reeling...
Neon Dust 2.45 - Party Crasher
Hope you enjoy the chapter!Have a great weekend! :)-Plum45 – Party CrasherAddie watched through Humpty’s feed as Tony rapidly fired his pistol around the corner, then ducked for cover as the plastic wall paneling deformed, peeling away from the concrete underneath as the enemy’s bullets punished it. Tony pulled one of the black grenades off his bandolier and threw it around the corner. Meanw...
AA 1.54 - At What Cost?
Here's your Friday delivery! Enjoy it while I go write some cyberpunk :)-Plum54 – At What Cost?Rhodes was much faster than it seemed a man his size ought to be. He waved his free arm in a classic martial arts block, knocking Andy’s spear to the side. Without hesitation, he pounced, pushing past Andy’s open guard. When he lifted his sledgehammer, it glowed with an orange halo and seemed t...
Victor 11.28 - World to World
Here's today's delivery! Thanks for reading :)-Plum28 – World to WorldVictor shook the man’s hand, noting the pliable nature of his metallic flesh. “I’m Victor.” As their hands unclasped, he asked, “A djinn?” He knew enough about Earth’s mythology to recognize the term—something about Arabian legends and wishes granted.“That’s right, sir. And you? Do I detect the bloo...

Hope you enjoy! Friday's chapter should have some resolution for you all. Sorry for all the cliffs and semi-cliffs.Cheers,Plum53 – Divide and ConquerAndy tensed, ready to spring into action.

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy :)-Plum26 – Reports and LogisticsThe days following Victor’s consumption of Dro Vah’s heart were filled with myriad logistical problems and solutions, mostly involving his new army and what, exactly, he wanted to do with regard to the thousands of former thralls wanting to sign up for service.

Neon Dust 2.44 - Action
Enjoy your Saturday evening :)Thanks for reading!-Plum44 – ActionAfter a few minutes, Addie’s voice came through comms, “It’s clear to the elevator and stairs. There’s a camera cluster there, but Glitch caught its signal. All good to go in, Alpha.”Tony glanced at Beef, clear as day in the enhanced light reception of his new helmet visor, and the big man nodded. Together, they darted ac...

Here's your slightly late delivery! Hope you enjoy :)See you Monday with the next chapter!-Plum51 – DeceptionAndy led his little band of night stalkers through the desert, skirting any scrub brush or dried-out cacti skeletons, careful to give them a path that wouldn’t reveal them before they were ready.

Neon Dust 2.43 - Another Night, Another Lab
Here's your chapter! Happy 4th! Happy Friday!-Plum43 – Another Night, Another LabThe van was surprisingly quiet as they left the Ninety-Nine en route to the location where Glitchwitch had pinned down Victor Kwon’s lab. Addie was quiet because her mind was busy dealing with guilt and the knowledge that she was deluding herself, and everyone in her crew knew it. After a while, the things she...

Well, here we have another chapter! And I'm tired :)Enjoy while I go and grill some meat.-Plum50 – Let’s Hear ’em OutAs Andy and his six compatriots started down the long trail leading to the base of the plateau, Tucker hissed, “Damn!

Victor 11.25 - Natural Armor
Thanks so much for reading :)Hope you all enjoy it!-Plum25 – Natural ArmorVictor navigated the menu on the System Stone, adding project after project to the queue.

He read over the many System-generated projects he’d approved...
