Dark Fate, Chapter 66
Chapter 66 – Baiting the TrapThe next day, the grounds were upgraded by the System. Getting my ship took a bit longer, but that was to be expected. I had to wait two whole days for an actual warship. Considering that it would have taken weeks even at the best System-enhanced shipyards if it was done manually, with people who had skills to improve the speed and quality of construction, that was p...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 223
Chapter 223 – ReportThe doors swung open at their approach, and the black shield faded away. They didn’t know what the shield would have done, but none of them were willing to test it, so it was well worth sacrificing someone they didn’t care about to bypass it. The hallway beyond was made of dark stone, and lit with purple-flamed torches, giving the whole area an unearthly, otherworldly loo...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 21
Chapter 21 – CommissionObviously, you couldn’t be involved (even as an observer) in the most high-profile assassination attempt in the last hundred years and not expect some of the craziness to try and follow you home. Of course, it wasn’t the Irish rebels that were her concern. They didn’t have overseas resources, afterall, being too focused on their (far more local) troubles.The Purifier...
Dark Fate, Chapter 65
Chapter 65 – Preparing the FieldFirst thing to do was making sure the properties were actually mine, according to the System. While I was at it, I decided to grab the huge empty space behind the house I wanted, too, so I could set up some actual defenses. Going through the interface in my Tablet, that was easily handled, and, for the price of just 3.8 million gp.Once I had the properties, I need...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 222
Chapter 222 – SacrificeContrary to Mark’s opinion, Father Jacobs decided not to use one of the annoying religious types that had tried to condemn their faith in Lord Kuronoth as the sacrifice. There had been a few who were pushier, and more vocal, than the rest. A capture ball removed the problem, provided they could throw it without being caught. And no one looked too hard when a Karen stoppe...

Dark Fate, Chapter 64
Chapter 64 – Culling the PackThe alpha staggered back as he dropped his axe, hand at his throat, trying to stop the bleeding. One of his pack cried out, attempting to cast a healing spell. Unfortunately for him, he was making a production out of it, reciting the words of a prayer to some god or power that I didn’t care enough about to listen to their name.I pointed at him, and a [Blood Bolt] f...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 221
Chapter 221 – NecropolisThe Dark Necropolis had been restricted ever since the people of Fort Myers, Miami, and surrounding areas completed the consecrated barriers and wards. It was necessary to keep the out-of-control ritual from overflowing the entire peninsula with undead. Ironically, it was that restriction that sped up the conversion of the Necropolis from a simple site that regularly spaw...
Dark Fate, Chapter 63
Chapter 63 – Property HuntingFirst step in finding a place to play bait for the pirates when they finally came to Earth was in choosing a neighborhood.Obviously, since this place was going to be bait, I wanted to find a place that was going to be far enough away from heavily populated areas that a stray orbital strike didn’t accidentally kill a bunch of people. That would not look good when pe...

The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 20
Chapter 20 – AttackMy eyes snapped to the door, even as I rose from my chair. Quickly, I looked through the eyes of my knights. Nothing outside. The guards weren’t even reacting as though there was anything wrong. Inside, however? That was another story.The human guards outside the door were down. Looking through the Knight’s eyes, I could see that four were dead, with two others wounded pre...
Dark Fate, Chapter 62
Chapter 62 – PlansThree months until the aliens started showing up, and I needed to be ready. Really, I wanted it done in two, just in case they showed up early. I didn’t know the exact time and date the aliens would show up, obviously. If they spent some time stealthily scouting before landing, and I wasn’t ready when they entered the system, that could mess up my plans to draw them in some...
Lewd Dungeon, Book 22 Epilogue
Epilogue – Resting“What will you do with her, Master?”Dana was standing next to me, looking at the newest addition to my menagerie. The fearsome Tier 4 dragon had, on command, been able to tap into her magic, and transformed into a girl with blue hair. Except she looked like she was about two or three years old.I quickly made her some clothes, and got Dana to help her dress, before the kid p...

Chapter 19 – RoyaltyIn the end, it was decided that the meeting would be a formal, though ostensibly private, affair, at Buckingham Palace. Instead of going low-profile, however, they would be announcing that a new, unique piece was being added to the crown jewels. So, a formal gown fit to my undead frame, with my own crown jewels, was the outfit of the day.When I stepped off the private jet weâ...

Book 6 of Dark Fate is now LIVE on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0971RWMWRChapter 61 – FeverBringing my time-traveling adult daughter home with me from the State Park had had some unforeseen consequences. Oh, nothing crazy like people suddenly disappearing like in Back to the Future. Lilith had known what she was doing when she came back, and made certain to keep any nasty paradoxes from ha...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 220
Chapter 220 – AftermathThe fight with the dragon was over. For Miguel, and the other people standing on the roof of the Adventurers’ Guild building, watching the projection that one of the guild’s scryers managed to put up in time to show the battle, that was a cause for relief. But it was also a cause for growing concern, and Miguel wasn’t the only one to think that way.“Are you sure it...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 18
Gotta say, I'm really enjoying writing this story, as it is a big change of pace from my normal stuff. Hope y'all enjoy it as well!Chapter 18 – Travel ArrangementsWith the amulet complete, I then turned to making arrangements for delivering the item. The contract did not say how the amulet was to be delivered, and I was not about to simply send this thing through the mail. It was far too...

Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 219
Chapter 219 – DominationI was not surprised by the dragon’s mobility, and the nimble way it evaded Bloodhawk’s ion cannon. That was the difference between firing a ship’s weapons at another ship, and at a living creature. Living creatures are much better at evasion than starships, and creatures with a snake-like body, like this dragon, were better at it than most creatures.I saw the head t...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 17
Chapter 17 – EnchantedThere were four pieces of any enchantment. First, you had the materials, which would hold the enchantment, and conduct mana into it. Second, you had the symbology, which could strengthen or weaken the enchantment. Third, you had the inscriptions, which ‘programmed’ the enchantment. And finally, you had the magic, which ‘installed’ the enchantment.I already had the f...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 218
Chapter 218 – Dragon Battle“Target in sight.”Sheila Darrows, Anointed of Kuronoth, smiled as Cara Grehan spoke up from the gunner’s seat in the Bloodhawk’s cockpit. The elf had been cross training to serve as a gunner on the ship. She’d even unlocked a skill to use her ranger abilities with ships’ weapons!Leaning back in her captain’s chair, Sheila looked at the screen. This wasnâ€...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 16
Chapter 16 – ForgedSo, the first part of designing any item was picking the materials. The materials decided what kind of things you could do with the form of the final piece. The materials determined the piece’s strength, how hard it was to damage or warp. The materials determined what kind of detail you could put in.Of course, those more functional concerns weren’t the only things to consi...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 217
Chapter 217 – Sea DragonMiguel Sanchez, Grandmaster of the American Adventurers’ Guild, frowned as he looked out towards the sea from the rooftop of the Miami guild, using every visual enhancement spell to gaze further out to sea. He’d been in a meeting just two minutes ago, when the eastern sky blazed with light. By the time he’d rushed to the rooftop along with Bethany, the current head ...

Hey, guys, just letting you know, Book 1 is up on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094YR8JTDHowever, since I'm not putting it in KU, the chapters will be staying up here. Chapter 15 – StudioFinally, after two weeks of working with Phantomline to develop the prototype mass production focuses and work on refining CADs, I was back in my studio. The work had been productive, of course. I learn...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 216
Chapter 216 – Stirring(Atlantic Ocean)Deep below the ocean’s surface, the object that had been quietly growing since the world had changed shifted, rocking slowly back and forth in the darkness. The object, an egg, had weathered the centuries without the mana necessary for it to grow by sheltering in the eternal warmth of the vents at the utter depths of the abyss. There, in the Milwaukee Dept...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 14
This should have come out yesterday, but I started playing Stellaris for the first time, and, well...Chapter 14 – DemonstrationFortunately, we were in a magic R&D lab, and all the necessary equipment was close at hand. Rigging a magic scanner to perform the same as the brain scanner for CAD calibration was easy enough. Jury-rigging the software to perform the same function as the brain scanners ...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 215
Chapter 215 – ChurchLooking at my two pets, I nodded in approval. “You two will be my sword and my hand, for when I act openly in the outside world. You will not be the only ones I call on, of course. There are adventurers who have pledged themselves to me, and mercenaries who I have enthralled. But you two, you will be the symbol that the outside world looks to.”With a wave of my hand, thei...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 13
This took a long time to write, for some reason.Chapter 13 – OversightWe relocated to a testing chamber, where several devices were set up for testing. The chamber itself was built to try and contain any ‘mishaps’, but I doubted it was rated to handle an explosion the likes of which would happen if my power ran out of control. After all, the building wasn’t exactly made of adamantium.Oesau...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 214
Chapter 214 – AnointmentSeeing the two women make their choice, I nodded. “Good. Now, strip for me, so I can see what I’m working with. I think that, since you came to me as a pair, a matching or mirrored placement on your brands would be the most pleasing.”“Yes, Master.” Both of them knew their place, at least, and appeared eager for their new roles. This was good. However, I would ne...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 12
Chapter 12 – Phantomline“Ah, Frau Akagawa! It is so good to see you!”I smiled at the man. He was Kaspar Oesau, the research chief of Phantomline’s R&D department. Headhunted from one of the universities that created the first experimental CADs after the Awakening, he was the brains behind the R&D department. Fortunately, he also had a reliable office manager, so his focus on research and p...
