Mist of Shadows

Written in the Cards part 15

Elena glanced up from her alchemy book when Derrick walked over to the counter. "What can I get you?"

"Can you mix sleeping potions and alcohol?" Derrick asked, figuring that would be the easiest way to deal with the drunk that wouldn't leave.

Elena grinned as she realized that they might have a use for Ted's failed batch of healing ...

Mist wasn't sure how to feel about Zora's summon, mostly because while she was certainly cute, it was also a rather large white and blue tiger. Of course, her intimidation factor was spoiled slightly by the fact that she was currently enjoying having her head scratched by Zora.

"She's adorable," Victoria offered. "Have you figured out a na...

"And done," Molly said cheerfully as she finished copying all of Derrick's contact list and various stories and games to her phone in case Mist's card ate his phone rather than just the Magical Law series of stories Mist was going to use as a template. "Is it weird that I want to hit a fast food restaurant and a movie theater?"

"Not really...

Kevin twitched and nearly sent the dice rolling off the table when someone pounded on the town door of the gatehouse. "What the fuck?" he complained, wondering why anyone was out in the storm.

"Are you going to get that?" Thomas asked as he tossed a couple of coins into the pot in the middle of the table.

"What the fuck do you want?!...

"Damn," Vivian muttered when Mia conjured a naked green skinned teenage girl that wouldn't have looked out of place in a brothel if you ignored the fact that she had light green skin and red eyes.

"Captain Snotfucker reporting for duty!" the busty goblin announced with a smile as she glanced around the farm, eager to impress the boss.

"Is there a reason you have a metal pole?" Derrick asked when Sarah walked out of the farm mirror with a ten foot metal pole and a metal kite shield.

"Yep, I decided that I wanted a reach weapon," Sarah replied as she walked over to the mirror that led to the forge.

"Do you want help?" Victoria asked.

"Sure," Sarah replied as ...

"Is there a reason you're glaring at me?" Ralph asked nervously.

"Sorry, I was looking at one of your cards," Mist replied as he checked the fourth option that was floating over Ralph's cursed card that he was trying to upgrade, hoping it wasn't garbage like the first three cards. 'Immortal Warlock of Damnation? Yeah, no, I don't need to b...

Ted glanced up as Victoria and Elena arrived carrying a box of notebooks. "Please tell me you found an introduction to Alchemy book in the shop, some of these recipes don't make sense."

"What part doesn't make sense?" Elena asked as she set the box of alchemy notebooks that they'd looted from the alchemy shop in the mirror on the table nex...

"Everything looks intact," Beth said cheerfully as she walked over to the forge with Azara and Molly following her.

Sarah looked up from the journal that she was using for keeping track of her future projects and smiled at the three girls. "Why wouldn't it be intact?"

"I figured you'd get annoyed enough at the lack of progress to try...

Zaldar sighed in relief when his shuffle ability finally managed to give the old man another halfway decent card. "I fixed another one of his cards. Take a look at his Medusa ability."

"Medusa?" Vincent asked, wondering if the card would turn him female if he used it since the only medusas he knew about were female.

"Nearsighted Medu...

An: I got a bit carried away with fixing cards and such things... so the chapter is longer. Moving forward, I'll try to find ways to avoid some of the details.

"I'm awake," Mist replied in annoyance as he woke up enough to be somewhat functional rather than t...

"And we're done," Mist muttered when he realized how much it would cost to boost Zaldar's new gypsy card.

"Any luck?" Zaldar asked.

"More all like all the luck," Mist replied, a bit surprised that he'd managed to push things as far as he had with his card. "Your Gypsy card turned into the Crossroads’ Gypsy: Greatly Enhanced Agility...

Derrick glanced at the stone shed where Sarah was gleefully looking through Mr. Henderson's scrap metal to see if there was anything they could use to create a mirror dungeon then focused on Zaldar. "I'm surprised you're not planning on getting revenge."

Zaldar shook his head. "Just because I'm pissed doesn't mean I'm going to throw my lif...

"Shit," Derrick cursed when he walked around the bend in the trail they'd been following and spotted the tipped over gypsy wagon and the remains of several horses that had been torn apart by wild animals and were covered in carrion birds.

"They should have hired more guards," the hunter mused as he took in the scene, not particularly surpr...

"Congratulations, you've been summoned to be the heroes of the land and defeat the demon king," the king's herald announced in a stuffy and practiced tone as soon as the summoning spell finished pulling the most recent group of 'heroes' across time and space.

"Yes!" one of the guys that had been summoned shouted. "Fucking Isekai!"

Patchwork Part 5

"Huh," Kara muttered when the gang member that she'd been keeping an eye on as they walked down the street transformed into a metal blender of death and charged at the young hero wearing green that was protecting a civilian. "BRB!" she said as she ran toward the swirling blender of blades, the rest of the world slowing to a crawl as her percepti...

Patchwork Part 4

Madison reluctantly pulled her attention off the video of a pair of pixies fucking in a bowl filled with chocolate pudding and glanced at her cellphone when she recognized Emma's ringtone. 'Horrible timing Emma,' she thought as she grabbed her phone with her free hand and answered the call. "What's up?"

"I'm freaking out," Emma admitted. 2025-03-11 04:44:40 +0000 UTC View Post

Patchwork Part 3

"There is something seriously wrong with people," Taylor complained as she spent the mana that she'd just received from Moonbeam getting a tip to increase her maximum mana, pushing it up to thirteen.

"Why?" Greg asked, not taking his attention off the pair of pixies that were dancing across the stage, a touch surprised that his pixie could...

Patchwork Part 2

"This is bullshit," Greg Veder complained as he glared at his reflection in the hallway mirror, not seeing any changes from his normal appearance. "I get dropped in a new world and I don't even get powers," he complained, annoyed that he hadn't heard anything from the strange voice after it had told him that the world merger was complete. <...

Patchwork

Taylor blinked a couple of times as she woke up from a strange dream that involved worms that traveled between dimensions and a giant caterpillar with a pipe that was blowing a reality-eating mist everywhere.

"World Merger Complete, Earth Bet has been successfully merged with Cataclysm 726, please see patch notes for the specifics. Unaccep...

Flashback 

"Hermione was right, we should have just stayed inside and read a book," Mist grumbled as he glanced between the crystal ball that he'd enchanted to allow him to scry on people and the lake, not sure why the hell the staff had decided in their infinite 'wisdom' to require the students to sit on a bunch of b...

Population Boom, Azeroth Part 2

"Even if you can draw the undead into an ambush, there are hundreds of thousands of undead, even archmages die when they're swarmed," Aelrae warned the young man, trying to talk him out of risking his life in some pointless attempt to destroy the remnants of the Lich King's army since he could create mana crystals on a scale that might actually ...

"It's going to be strange without having to deal with the Dursleys," Harry admitted as he followed Mist and Hermione down the aisle, doing their best to avoid getting trampled by some of the upperclassmen that were in a hurry to get off the train so they could start their summer.

"Strange and relaxing," Mist offered, rather happy that the ...

"I can't believe you're leaving," Vicky complained, a touch annoyed that her sister was running off to learn to be a witch without her.

"I need a break before I snap and it's not like I won't be around," Amy replied without taking her eyes off the busty blonde stripper on the stage. "The mirrors should let me travel back and forth a...

"And we're good," Constantine announced as Zatanna ran out of the door to the stairs, relieved that his cobbled together spell had actually worked and that Zatanna had finished taking care of her mission in time.

"At least Beast Boy isn't here," Raven complained as she finished stripping, wanting to make sure that she didn't lose he...

"Is there a reason the knock off Item World power isn't more expensive?" Mist asked as he bought the power granting candy that would give him the power in question, wondering if he'd missed something in the description or if the people running the list didn't value anything you had to work for.

"Yeah, it's basically a trap for stupid agent...

Population Boom, Hogwarts Part 16

Mist glanced up from the spell book he was reading when Hermione flopped down on his bed next to him. "What's up?"

"You're evil," Hermione complained, knowing the prank war they'd been dealing with for the last week was ultimately his fault.

"I'm aware," Mist replied as he put the bookmark in the book, deciding that he might a...

Carol pushed the pause button on the remote and turned to look at her daughters as they walked into the living room wearing their genie outfits. She glanced between Vicky and Amy, making note of the fact that Amy had gained a couple of cup sizes and was almost as tall as Vicky then focused on Amy's long wavy blue hair that she'd pulled ba...

"Some type of control room?" Taylor mused as she glanced between the strange crystal and metal throne in the middle of the room and the large flat screen that took up most of the left wall of the room. She glanced over at the right side of the room where there was a wardrobe, a shelf and a flat screen television that took up the rest of t...

"So, no side effects?" Dennis asked as he looked at the attractive girl that was standing in the middle of the testing center, having to remind himself Amy wouldn't appreciate him flirting.

"That depends if you count the costume," Amy replied as she gestured at her genie outfit.
