Kiersty narrowed her eyes when she felt the obvious power of the creator of the bloodbeasts. She couldn’t exactly tell what Skill he used in his punch and palm, but they were certainly potent. And that image of the empty-eyed monster made her wary. But she snorted and gathered herself for another attack. As a Priestess of Arbor, she had a responsibility to step...

Derek stiffened while the crowd applauded the new president of the NFL Player’s Association. His Survival Instincts warned him that this was suddenly a very bad place to be.

Seeming not to care about Valor’s disappointment, the coach continued to speak with his hands on his hips. “Look, a lot of football has to change now that we have the System. Players are faster and stronger than ever, and it’s easy for one side to have a dominant advantage if the league isn’t careful. Because the cruel truth is that the superior players became ...

For the first part of the fight, Randidly had wanted to get a sense of how much of a difference in power the Nether Brawn made for his physical strikes. As it turned out, it made an extremely large difference. Even though Randidly could sense that the three-headed ogre with his huge crystal ax possessed almost a dozen Skills devoted to strengthening his body and ...

The Ogre Lord once again charged forward without waiting for the other man to respond to his words. This time he gripped the ax with both of his hands and launched a vicious slanted cut toward his foe. It would be less decisive if it landed, but it would also be much harder to dodge.
Randidly Ghosthound did not bother to dodge. From his crouched stance, he ...

Obyrn chuckled as he watched Dozer give a rather gobsmacked Randidly Ghosthound a sympathetic look. Dozer tried his best to make his rumble sound consoling. “Do not blame yourself that Delilah never wants to play hide and seek with you again… it can be considered a testament to your capability.”

Kiersty frowned over at her idiot brother, who was hurrying down the stairs toward their seats at such a pace that she hadn’t even been able to look around at the vast crowds swarming around the stadium. “All I’m saying is that we don’t need to be this early to this thing!

Derek Moss leaned back in his chair and stifled a yawn. The military issue folding chairs had some give in them, but not enough for the movement to feel anything like actual rest.

Left with no other choice, Randidly was forced to give in to Tatiana’s smug face. He could only shake his head and leave the office while muttering to himself. “They want me to make myself a home now? Do they really think I have nothing but time after being away from Earth for so long…?”
Yet somehow, Randidly couldn’t be mad. He quickly left Kharo...

Couple of loose ends I want to make sure we are all aware of before stuff starts to accelerate.

The night of revelry was one that would be long remembered on Kharon. As the stars slowly scrolled past, everyone seemed to throw themselves even more forcefully into enjoying their current reprive.

Making minute adjustments to his disguise, Randidly hurried to the Western portion of Kharon. While the Southern fourth was industrial and the East was heavily populated, the West was where most of Kharon’s undeveloped land was located.

The next day saw Randidly once more refining his images and pouring over reports that Tatiana provided while he leaned back in his new leather chair.

Later that night as Randidly was touring around the suddenly very crowded rooftops of Kharon, he felt the familiar sensation of the Eidolon Crucible overtaking him. It tickled at the edges of his consciousness, tugging him toward sleep.
