Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 233
Chapter 233 – EvangelistFor two days, as Kuronoth, I offered guidance to Dishonored Knight. He was already an established dungeon, of course, and knew how to make traps and puzzles to slow invaders, and he knew the strengths and weaknesses of his monsters like the back of his metaphorical hand. All I did was offer pointers on refining some of his traps so that they were designed to not just kill...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 31
Chapter 31 – ProfessorDr. Daniel Fletcher was quite reasonably proud of what he had accomplished in his life. He was twelve when the Awakening happened. By the time he reached college, the University of Seattle had just opened its Thaumaturgy Department, and he was part of the first class to be able to major in Thaumaturgy.That was a heady time to be in academics. It seemed like every month, eve...
Dark Fate, Chapter 75
Yes, I did it. No, I am not sorry.Chapter 75 – UniqueI gaped as Shadraus brought out the weapon he wanted to show me. Like, full on, completely unashamedly jaw trying its best to hit the floor. This was something I had never expected to see.Unique weapons and armor generally came in two types. First, you had things like my armor, which generally came from System rewards, and were tied to an indi...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 232
Chapter 232 – Answered Prayer“Oh Great Kuronoth, thank you for hearing my plea! A host of followers of Binja and Idos have descended upon Atara, and are cleansing the world of dungeons, which they say are the source of the world’s corruption!”OK, so someone went and formed a crusade, had they? The only question was whether they were doing it on their gods’ orders, or just in their name. ...

Dark Fate, Chapter 74
Chapter 74 – StaffingI started my staffing concerns with the Necrozians. They would be the easiest to deal with, with the Master being able to control all his underlings. Fifty drones, ten workers, and one Master were what I needed for the shipyard.“You’re in luck, there,” Shadraus said as he looked over my shoulder. “The Necrozians have been fighting the Gurlen for the last few years, a...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 231
Chapter 231 – PleaI was minding my own business, just putting a few people through the Breeding Halls. Nothing major, just a party out of New York that cut a deal to get out of a nasty situation they’d found themselves in on the eleventh floor. They got too close to some of the curse slimes, and managed to get one of the nastier curses. Namely, the one that disabled magic items.They realized t...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Book 3 Epilogue
Epilogue – ElsewhereFour individuals met in a darkened room. No names were shared. Those who knew about this meeting already knew who the other attendees were. There was no need for introductions.Each individual represented a faction of power. While they were not the nominal heads of their factions, what was decided in this chamber would be carried out. One way or another.On an unseen signal, th...

Chapter 73 – Startup“Ah, my friend! It is so good to see you again!” Shadraus smiled his skeletal smile as I stepped into the System Shop by the mall. Leading me towards a back room, where we could talk in private, he continued, “I saw when the kovald ship made landfall, but I did not hear anything about it on the news. I take it, then, that your trap worked?”I smiled back at the lich, a...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 30
Chapter 30 – AnnihilationI waited until nightfall to make my move. Not because I had to, but because I knew that the Sumiyoshi-kai would spend time getting their enforcers on alert. If they were smart, they would have had those enforcers already in place to counter any reprisals the Inagawas would make. With my messenger reporting in, letting them know I was involved, chances were that they woul...
Dark Fate, Chapter 72
Chapter 72 – ConcernsLegal got involved, as I knew they would, and the contracts and financing people did, as well. In the end, the flat 2% of everything that ever came from the tech they pulled out of the pirate ship was completely unrealistic. I knew it going in, but it was a solid starting point for the negotiations.In the end, I still got a really good deal. First, I got 1% of the initial co...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 29
Chapter 29 – ReceptionOnce the slaughter was done, I sent my little messenger on his way, so that he could spread the news of what had happened to his bosses. He was probably going to have to change clothes along the way. Seems like watching all his buddies get slaughtered caused him to lose control of his bodily functions. So sad.At any rate, with the disturbance done, there was still a wedding...
Dark Fate, Chapter 71
Chapter 71 – Boeing“So, when is your friend getting here?”Kate Pearson sighed as she heard the impatience in her boss’s voice. She looked back out to the tarmac at Boeing’s test facility, where one of her old friends from college, that was now in the Atlanta Police Department, said to meet at. “Like I said, sir, she said that she would be here at 9:30 exactly. It is 9:25 now.”Joseph ...

Chapter 28 – AssaultTatsumi was listening to her radio as we moved towards the stairs. The explosion had already knocked out the elevators, setting off the safety mechanisms in place to deal with earthquakes. That meant that our prey would be advancing up the stairs. So, to meet them, we only needed to go down.“The swine destroyed the checkpoint on the twenty-first floor! Both the North and So...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 27
I will be going to DragonCon next week. That means that I will most likely not write anything from Wed to Tues. Regular content will resume after that.Also, if you're going to be at DragonCon, I'll be hanging around the Newbie Tours and Q&A on Thursday, and will be at the Fantasy Gather with other authors later in the weekend. You may also catch me in the Anime/Manga track room. At least p...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 26
Chapter 26 – Meeting the OyabunA week after the sword was finished, it was time to meet the oyabun of the Inagawa-kai, and present the blade to his granddaughter for her ascension. I could have delivered the sword early, of course, but the oyabun had different ideas. He wished for a spectacle, to showcase his granddaughter, and asked for me to present the sword to her personally as part of the c...
Dark Fate, Chapter 70
Chapter 70 – ArrivalThe last month flew by, as everyone quietly started making as many last-minute preparations as they could. My core team was on the cusp of Level 27, and the others were all coming along into their low 20s. I could have probably pushed it to get that extra level, but I figured it was better that everyone got plenty of rest. No sense in being so tired that you weren’t bringin...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 227
Chapter 227 – Bad Dog“Eeew. Do we really need to go through this?”Father Jacobs was not surprised at Mary’s reaction. It mirrored his own, after all. He was a firm believer that anyone who was jumping for joy at the ‘opportunity’ to walk through what looked for all the world like a giant sewer pipe with glowing green sludge in it was so far gone that killing them would be a mercy.“Un...

Chapter 25 – Threats“One vehicle approaching the gate.”The men reflected in my scrying mirror frowned at the radio message from the front gate, as they watched the approaching car. Clearly, they thought something was off, with someone coming to visit, unannounced, when it was almost four in the morning. Visitors at that time were never welcome, unless you were talking with vampires.“Any si...
Dark Fate, Chapter 69
Chapter 69 – Spreading the WordWith one month until the aliens arrived, all my preparations suddenly needed to go into the final phase. Things that I had put off, because I didn’t have a timeline, and needed to be available to respond if the first raiders came with only a few hours’ warning, I could now get to. But, before I could go and do those final preparations, I needed spread the word,...

Chapter 226 – Jaws“I think we’re coming up on a boss!”All eyes turned to Lowe as the little gnome looked over a console full of instruments. Clark grunted, and said, “What makes you say that? Looks like just more ocean out there.”The gnome was unperturbed by the doubt. Rather, she was all too happy to explain, since it meant gushing about one of her inventions. “Oh! The ManaChecker M...

Chapter 24 – EnchantingAfter seeing my unwanted guests off, I turned my attention to the meager spoils of the fight. Well, meager by my standards, at least. However, for this world, the souls of your enemies and the bone ash of an oni was far from meager.Actually, now that I thought about it, the souls and ash would be very useful in crafting the enchantment for the sword and its sheath. The sou...
Dark Fate, Chapter 68
Chapter 68 – WarningI spent a bit more gold outfitting my new minions appropriately for their classes, as well as getting some actual clothes for them to wear. After all, their former owners had stripped them naked before putting them up on the marketplace, so if I wanted them to do anything but be a warm hole, I needed to outfit them appropriately. Final cost for all that was four hundred plati...

Thankfully, his pet, Mary, had been diligent in searching for traps as they walked through the corridor, and spotted it before they reached the trigger. But none of them were prepared fo...

Chapter 23 – InterruptionI decided that, for this little bit of ‘guidance’, I didn’t want to scare off whoever it was that might be coming to my door, by appearing in my full ‘lich queen’ form. Instead, I decided to appear in my human form, with my miko outfit. That outfit was still powerful enough that it could stop a round from a .50 caliber machine gun without suffering any damage, ...

Chapter 67 – MinionsOnce again, buying through the System allowed me to get my items where I wanted them to go. I still didn’t have the technical knowledge to manage the satellites or get any actual information off them, but the four big satellites were positioned at their Lagrange points, and the spy satellite was currently in a geosynchronous orbit over Atlanta. Having the equipment in place...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 224
Sorry for the unplanned break. I was hitting a bit of a wall in several projects, so, instead of risking burnout, I took a week off to recharge. But we're back now, and rolling!Chapter 224 – At SeaIt was, truth be told, an excellent day to be on the water.The sun was shining, as only South Florida could shine. Not a cloud in the sky, and spray of water and the sea breeze meant that it was ea...

Chapter 22 – Forging a BladeNow, if someone was going to go with a traditional forging process for a katana, using all the old ways, the time to complete a blade could be a whole year, from the time you start making the tatara to when you finish polishing the blade. And that was with a team of thirty craftsmen all working together! Naturally, I did not have that kind of time or staff.Fortunately...
