Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-Five
I dove out of the office chair and crashed to the ground next to it. Just in time, too. A large chunk of something metallic (A wheel hub?) smashed into the chair and flipped it over.
Staying on the dusty ground was nice and all, but not my idea of a good...

Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty-Eight
“So, what’s the plan, Cap?” Calamity asked.
We’d relocated to behind a small bump along the edge of the crater, a spot where a few tough bushes had sprouted up and where the knights wouldn’t be able to see us. “I don’t know,” I said. I had both hands holding onto...

Interlude - Crisis Mode One
She woke up with a start, her alarm going off in her augs and blaring music in her head. It was a new song every day. A new song to add to the growing list of music that she didn’t want to hear again.
Groaning, she pressed her hands over her eyes and shifted. She’d ended up curled up...

The first thing to check out was the area around the kobold portal. At the moment, it was surrounded by Seraph. Not so much delvers (though there were a lot of those) but support staff and E-rank...

To say that the last couple of days had been less than ideal would be a monumental understatement.
The Anomalous item had been stolen.
That was, obviously, bad. They were now losing, and the fact that they were losing had lit a fire under the butts of the brass. The HRF hadn’t ...

When Lucy arrived, we did the usual things. A welcome-back hug, some more hugging, a bit of grasping, some more hugging, and a kiss that would have made the most liberal person blush a little.
One thing led to another, and eventually we rode up to our home, only we had brats to watch over and ...

We left the Beaver as a big pack and once we were on the ground, we started towards the edge of the field we’d landed in. The village’s head was standing there, leaning up on a crooked old cane with a few of the village people around him. The looked like big farmer sorts,...

I stood up, brushing down the rear of my pants as I did so. “Pleased to meet you,” I said.
“Did you not hear the calls for civilians to evacuate?” Lyra asked.
I glanced over to the end of the street. The police and such had pulled their cordon back, and that gro...

I was a little confused when I Reloaded and found myself not just a day back, suddenly not tired, but also right next to my bike.
Right, this was just after the operation.

I didn’t get to see how Seraph handled things from up close. Mostly because the police tightened the cordon, and when spells and bullets started to fly, even the most rubbery-necked of the gawkers decided that sticking around was probably a bad idea.

“Trinity,” Big Sister Boss said.

The interior section of the guard station, which was just off the highway, was fenced in on three sides, but it was open on the road. The fences weren’t anything too special either, just about twice as tall as I was, with angled-barb-wired tops. The building itself was a big grey blo...
