Reborn as the First Boss, Chapter 64
Chapter 64 – Shopping“Well, now, Missy. You have been busy. Nineteen levels in less than a week?”I chuckled as Kester One-Hand greeted us to his shop. “Well, if I told you the whole story, you wouldn’t believe it. We saw some impossible things in the depths, I promise you. Why, at one point, the Voice of the World threw up an error message at us!”Kester blinked, and then shook his head...
System Supervillain, Chapter 126
Chapter 126 – All Together NowWe only had to wait half an hour before things started. Web Mistress was the first to notice, obviously. “The lizards have noticed the British forces forming up around the shield perimeter. The push hasn’t started, yet, but they know it is coming.”From what we could see on the video feeds, the attitude in the command center was tense. Not surprising, given tha...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 170
Chapter 170 – TestedHaving a dinner with the family wasn’t the only reason I’d come to visit my brother’s home, of course. Yes, there was his birthday present, and the more pointed gift for Genjo, but I had other business, as well. While the rest of the family had been tested, and learned their elements, and the styles that best suited them, little Kaori was too young for that, before.Not ...
Dark Fate, Chapter 214
Chapter 214 – AdministrationWith my ascension to Tier 3 complete, it was time to return to business. While I would have liked to get the opportunity to go find some monsters to fight, so I could test myself, and learn the nuances of my new skills, I didn’t have time for that. Ironic, considering my new profession as a Timestruck Demon Lord. But irony didn’t keep an empire running, which is w...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 372
Chapter 372 – NurseryAfter dinner, Lucia and Catalina went with me to visit the ‘nicer’ side of the Breeding Halls, what I called the Nurseries. After all, most monsters aren’t just born being instantly effective. Other than slimes, and other very simple creatures like that, monsters tend to need a bit of time to grow into their powers, and get their System to unlock. So, the Nurseries wer...
Freezing Shadows, Chapter 20
Chapter 20: UpgradesIt took about six weeks to finalize everything. Not just getting the building, that only took a couple weeks. There was also the whole deal of moving in, changing the locks and the door codes, updating the security system and putting new profiles in the drones keeping watch on the place, and so on. And that was just with our base.The goal we’d given ourselves of finding a pla...
Reborn as the First Boss, Chapter 63
Chapter 63 – AuthorityWe were quickly taken to the Guildmaster’s office. A party of level 40s, with word on the recent messages? Yes, that was going to get people’s attention in a hurry. But a guild hall still had to deal with normal business, so it wasn’t five minutes before we were sitting in front of the Guildmaster.MilotHuman MaleLevel 35 Flame Sorcerer / SoldierTitles: Flameblessed, G...
System Supervillain, Chapter 125
Chapter 125 – On the Other SideWeb Mistress pulled us all into the virtual world, courtesy of the nearest cell phone. It happened to belong to Brittania, which probably explained the Union Jack theming in the digital space. I didn’t have much time to look around, before Web Mistress took us on the next leg of our journey, but I did notice a picture hanging close to us. A nude selfie from Green...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 169
Chapter 169 – BirthdaysNaturally, I was no trained marksman, at least with guns. I’d trained to an acceptable level with bows and crossbows, and even some siege weapons, but never guns. However, the enhanced physical abilities I possessed thanks to having trained with mana helped offset my inexperience. My eyes could focus clearly on the targets, even at one kilometer, which was the furthest b...
Dark Fate, Chapter 213
Chapter 213 – Skill SelectionI had… a lot of available skills. A lot, a lot. Sure, I had forty points to spend, but I had way more than that available.Right, first thing first, look through the skill list, and skip ones I had no interest in. Some skills were nice, and all, but didn’t do enough for my needs, or the way I’d built up my abilities. Those could safely be discarded, for now. It ...
Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 371
Chapter 371 – Relaxation“Mommy!”Catalina smiled as a red-skinned missile collided with her the moment she and her party entered the ‘living area’ of her Lord’s domain. Swooping the little girl up into a hug, she grinned, before transferring the girl into one arm. “How is Mommy’s little princess, hmm? Been good for Daddy?” One of the benefits of the System was that physics sometim...
Freezing Shadows, Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Settling Up“The job is done, Mr. Tanaka.”Twilight had just gotten back from her journey into the Matrix. Maybe an hour had passed, all told, since I put her on the couch. I figured she was taking her time, and going slow. Haste was the enemy when you tried to be stealthy. No clue why her face was flushed when she exited the Matrix, though. Something to unpack later.With job complet...
Reborn as the First Boss, Chapter 62
Chapter 62 – Return to MagehallowThe trip back to Magehallow was an easy one, not that I expected any differently. After all, we were nearly twenty levels higher than we were when we made the trip out, just a couple days ago. If the area had changed enough that we were going to start seeing problems, it would have come up before now.Part of me wanted to go straight to Kester, and unload the loot...
System Supervillain, Chapter 124
Chapter 124 – ReadyOf course, even though I said I was going to save points, that didn’t mean I wasn’t going to look over my abilities, and see if there wasn’t something I could do. My biggest weakness, at the moment, was a lack of long-range mobility. My various ice effects could easily give me short-range mobility, either through ice slides or floating about as a mist. However, the Syste...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 168
Chapter 168 – Range Time“Hello again, your Majesty.”I smiled at the pair of undead waiting for us at the entrance to one of the JSDF’s bases near Sakata, in the Yamagata prefecture. My disciples nodded politely as I greeted the two Heroes of Death. “Ah, Ittō rikui, Kaisōchō. It is good to see you, as well. I trust you have been adjusting to your new abilities?”“Yes, your Majesty,...
Dark Fate, Chapter 212
Chapter 212 – TierI closed my eyes as the same silver mist I’d seen before rose up around me. I took a breath, to steady myself. I didn’t want to miss something by being too anxious, after all. When I opened my eyes, I saw the first of the expected System messages waiting for me.Tier 3 Subrace OptionsGreater Void Incubus (Super Rare) – A very rare subtype of the incubus line that is specia...

Freezing Shadows, Chapter 18
Chapter 18: Morning After“Have fun last night?”I mostly ignored the acid tone in Twilight’s voice, and continued with my morning workout. Nothing too strenuous, just a series of katas that helped train my skill with blades. Well, I was working hard enough to build up a sweat, which is why I’d tossed my shirt and armor to the side before beginning. I wasn’t using my weapon focus, either, ...
Freezing Shadows, Chapter 17
Forgot to post this last weekend, so two chapters today!Chapter 17: Clean GetawayWe didn’t do much looting of bodies. The gear was all standard corpsec issue, for the most part, and taking commlinks with us was a recipe for disaster, if one of the spiders decided to get sneaky. I did, however, check the mage briefly, since any magical gear was always going to be worth some hefty credits, even if...
Reborn as the First Boss, Chapter 61
Chapter 61 – ReportThe teleport circle returned us to just outside the entrance of the dungeon in a flash of light. Checking the position of the sun, I could see that it was late in the afternoon, almost dusk. Too late to go heading back to Magehallow Town, then. We would need to stay the night in the settlement outside the cordon. Probably should check in at the branch of the Adventurers Guild,...
System Supervillain, Chapter 123
Chapter 123 – DetailsIt was well about two in the afternoon, local time, the next day when the call came that the weapon was ready for transport. Green Knight and his team teleported over to the base, so they could escort the convoy. Everyone else at the staging area started getting their preparations in order. Everyone knew that, the longer we delayed, the more likely it was that we’d miss th...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 167
Chapter 167 – Visitors“It is good to see you again, your Majesty,” Commandant Marius Tremblay said, as he bowed in my throne room. The French soldier had not come alone, of course. There were five others with him: two angels wearing modified French Army uniforms, two phoenixes, and a handsome, if ordinary-looking, man in civilian clothes.“Welcome to my abode, Commandant Tremblay. But when ...
Dark Fate, Chapter 211
Chapter 211 – Rapid AdvancePeople liked to think that intimidation was walking up to someone with a shotgun and informing them about what would happen to their kneecaps if they didn’t have your money. And, sure, that was one form of intimidation. A nice, easily understood threat, with the visible ability to back it up could be very intimidating.However, that type of intimidation was best used ...
Reborn as the First Boss, Book 7 Prologue
Prologue – Restless Dead“PUSH THEM BACK! DO NOT FALTER!”Eluned the Grim, High Priestess and Archbishop of the Church of Eztar, called out to her fellow priests and paladins of the God of Death. Amongst their sacred duties was maintaining the wards and defenses of the graveyards, cemeteries, and other burial places in the Theocracy of Eclana. However, none was so important as the Necropolis o...
System Supervillain, Chapter 122
Chapter 122 – DiscussionWith the audience with the king done, I was suddenly free for a while. However, that didn’t mean I could just go off on my own, doing whatever. Well, I could, since no one would really be able to stop me if I chose to do that, but there wasn’t really anything I could do, constructively. If I started hunting Gel-nak within the shield, then word about it would almost ce...
The OP Lich is a Returnee, Chapter 166
Chapter 166 – TrainingNaya was breathing heavily, and her moves were getting sluggish. That much was understandable. She was only mortal, after all, and we had been sparring for almost an hour straight, at this point. In truth, the fact that she was only breathing heavily, and not outright gasping for air or struggling to stay upright was proof of how much her training had progressed in just a f...

Lewd Dungeon, Chapter 370
Chapter 370 – Grandpa“So, here’s the lake,” Charity said, “and we’ve got our three pieces of the key. But what are we going to do about the guardian?”As expected, there was a single magical torch on a post next to a rickety wooden pier. A wooden rowboat that looked old but in well repair was resting upside down on the stone shore nearby. Yet, the space was far too wide for a [Magelig...

Reborn as the First Boss, Book 6 Epilogue
Epilogue – ElsewhereThe gods did not live in the mortal realm. They couldn’t, for their nature was that of belief given form and ideas canonized into shape. Even when they descended to the mortal plane as an avatar, it was still only a manifestation, a fraction of their power.There were whispers, of course. Whispers of ways that a god could descend into the mortal realm with all their power in...
