I was seething internally as I walked next to Glasha, leading her pony. Orc attendants rushed on the path with packs of goods and looked ...

World Sphere - 12 - Sebastian

Chapter 12: Sebastian

The large bird grasped my right shoulder and left bicep in his talons. One talon pierced my upper chest on the right side. The momentum of the raptor took my left arm into a painful rotation, pulling it out of its socket and tearing ligaments and muscles. The pain was so much and so quick I didn’t h...

World Sphere - 11 - Magic Isnt Easy

Chapter 11: Magic Isn’t Easy

I woke often during the night, trying to reposition my body to avoid pain. I also came to one conclusion: I needed more pillows! I slept in short bursts and dreamed of getting beaten by a sword, casting amazing magic, running a merchant empire, and buying a horse, only to find the horse talke...

World Sphere - 10 - Gareth, The Protege

Chapter 10: Gareth, The Protégé

We walked toward Callem, and before I could speak, Gareth spoke firmly and clearly, “Captain Callem, we are early and don’t want our instruction time to begin just yet. Storme and I will complete the daily stretches before we start. Is that okay?”

Whoa. I stared at Gareth, who...

World Sphere - 9 - Obtaining the First Spell

Chapter 9: Obtaining the First Spell

I awoke so sore I couldn’t move. Yes, that was a lie. It was just excruciating to move. The pain triggered a hazy memory of the first day of wrestling practice in high school when the coach decided to check out the team’s conditioning for the entire practice. I grabbed ...

World Sphere - 8 - Captain Callem POV

Chapter 8: Captain Callem POV

Captain Callem woke up early to walk, weed, and water his fields. He took pride in working the land after spending his life serving the citizens. He was once Commander Callem, overseeing all the naval training for Skyholme. Under his guidance, the navy built and crewed more sky sh...

World Sphere - 7 - Weapons Training

Chapter 7: Weapons Training

Pascal was up early, and his obnoxiously loud voice was obviously meant to get the entire house up. When our mother called for breakfast, I dressed slowly to annoy him. With all my life experiences, you would think I would be above such petty brotherly antagonism, but no.

“Gareth has bee...

Town Builder - 82 - Negotiations (edited 12-16-24, just +150 words and no major changes)

Chapter 82: Negotiations

I settled into my drafting room. I had several projects that needed attention, but it was time to review the NPC auction. Opening the auction tab, I was in utter disbelief. Expert NPCs require a minimum bid of one gold, but sorting the mess, most already had bids of over 500 gold. Some of the more valu...

World Sphere - 6 - Golden Opportunities

Chapter 6: Golden Opportunities

Naked and lying face down, I was awoken by a pounding on the small door to my room. I moaned a little. My head, shoulder, thigh, back, feet, and chest hurt. The aether core heartburn was working full-time today. I was going to get back at those city bastards. The knocking continued, and I ro...

World Sphere - 5 - The End Of A Long Day

Chapter 5: The End of a Long Day

After Gareth and I enjoyed a good laugh at our impending good fortune, we got to work. “How many coins can you make in a day, Storme?” Gareth asked. He was serious now and probably thinking about all the things we could buy.

“Let me see how many steel coins I can make today. The...

World Sphere - 4 - Freya

Chapter 4: Freya

Freya raced through the cobblestone streets to reach the candy maker. Her thoughts were on what a steel coin could buy. She was definitely getting a honey sucker. They lasted hours. They were her favorite, even though Storme said she was rotting her teeth. What else should she get? Three honey suckers were...

World Sphere - 3 - Abilities and Secrets

Chapter 3: Abilities and Secrets

I was excited to try out magic for the first time. In the morning, I raced out of the house to the only public bathhouse in Hen’s Hollow. I paid the old woman, who was the attendant and owner, three copper coins. This got me a hot bath, a cold shower rinse, and my clothes were washed with scented soap. It...

World Sphere - 2 - Growing Up in Skyholme

Chapter 2: Growing up in Skyholme

After I was born, I was frustrated. My thoughts were slow and cloudy, and my past knowledge was hard to grasp and form coherent thoughts. It was like remembering the plot of a book you read years ago but did not like very much. I also had to work hard at acting as baby-like as possible. Le...

World Sphere - 1 - The Failed Human Resources Liaison

Chapter 1: The Failed Human Resources Liaison (Prologue)

The sun’s glare made the day’s heat much more intense. As I walked along the mountain ridge, sweat beaded on my brow and stung my eyes. I was out for a ten-day hike, a 100-mile trek through the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. It was a reprieve from my endless hours working as a vaga...

Warlord Krage had a formidable constitution. I watched him stride close to the corpses of ogres and trolls, seemingly unfazed by the stench tha...

World Sphere - 205 -

Chapter 205: 

The distance and speed we were traveling were massive, even for the Sphere. I left a homing beacon in Skyholme in case we got lost, which was a real possibility. The transit passage to the Outer Sphere was thousands of miles across, and the navigation books we read said you just had to get close enough and then go high e...

A Soldier's Life - 298 - Fish In A Barrel (final edit 7-5-25)

Chapter 298: Fish In A Barrel

I went with Maveith and Mynasha to scout the nexus, not completely convinced the cleric could deliver as promised. Seven trolls seemed too big a task, especially when she took over a minute between lightning attacks in the last battle.

The nexus was three miles from the fort, but centered on the r...

Town Builder - 81 - Phoenix's Rest Founding (edited 12/15/24 +250 words, no plot changes)

Chapter 81:

I wasn’t surprised. The admins had screwed me over so many times it didn’t faze me. Then again, I could see their point of view since I was not a paying player. I looked at the accolade I had lost.

First Kingdom, you are given a special ability called Golden Age: When triggered, everyone in your kingd...
