UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse - 1:23 PM

The first thing Kayla did was gesture in Jeff’s direction. He watched her with concern in her eyes as she visibly paled, but didn’t seem outwardly injured. I waited patiently as he stepped beside her and put a hand on her shoulder as he whispered.

I couldn’t hear what they were ...

Chapter 153

Downtown Pittsburgh - 12:59 PM

After getting through the first fifty or so letters back in the Angel Express, I had decided to get some fresh air. I sat on a bench just outside of where a fire station used to be. The clouds above were dark and snow fell peacefully on me and the book I was working on. It was only a small fl...

Chapter 152

The Angel Express - 5:11 AM

I stood in front of the guild board, sipping my hot chocolate as I read through it. Jamie had only liberated one more building while the Mills and I were dealing with the zombie issue, but it was a doozy. It was labeled as only “Park” and was worth 20 guild points. I shifted so that I could ...

Chapter 151

Pittsburgh - 3:21 PM

Creating barricades in the streets was a rather simple affair, it just took a lot of time. There were plenty of cars and SUVs to shove around like I was solving some kind of puzzle. Since many of the trucks were too heavy for me to move efficiently on my own even with my Strength and Warmind abilities,...

Chapter 150

The Homewood Cemetery, Pittsburgh - 9:06 AM

The wheels of the golden chariot easily cut through the snow on the streets. It was a surprisingly smooth ride for such an outdated mode of transportation and we made good time despite the road’s conditions. Corwin kept up the whole time, having an absolute blast running beside...

New Year, New Plans update

Salutations, readers!

So, as promised, I have dropped extra chapters for everyone (mostly at the Angel of the End tier) for the first five weeks of the year! This has gotten the Patreon up to 5/11/25, as promised, and I can now assess what I can do.

Unfortunately, that does not include continuing on three times a week.

Chapter 149

Downtown Pittsburgh - 8:32 AM

The streets were bustling with people coming and going. Not everyone seemed to have a destination in mind, and many gathered around the few buildings that had popped up overnight. They were placed sporadically throughout the city, though the tallest ones were still Rexxel’s Bank and the Guil...

Chapter 148

The Angel Express - 7:16 AM

I woke up with a jolt from a sitting position in my bed. The Subspace Depot enveloping the train meant that there was no natural light coming in from outside, but it was set to mimic the time wherever we were. It was starting to brighten, which meant that it was already morning.

Ignoring t...

Chapter 147

Rexxel’s Bank, Pittsburgh - 4:08 PM

After absorbing the skill book and returning Ostwriter’s Plot Armor to my inventory, I went about tidying up the vault. Many of the items within were thrown around haphazardly, which made organization a daunting task. Still, it needed to be done eventually and there was no better tim...

Chapter 146

Rexxel’s Bank, Pittsburgh - 2:55 PM

Thankfully, the skyscraper being destroyed gave me just enough time to harvest the Pharaoh for parts. I managed to cut off his head, front claws, and his remaining wing before the building was returned to the surface. Each piece was sitting in my now almost full inventory. I had nearly...

Chapter 145

The BNY Mellon Center, The Pitt - 2:32 PM

The first step of any Dragon fight was to ground them as quickly as possible. They were much slower using their legs than they were with their wings, and it severely limited their options. While its teeth, claws, wings, tail, and basically its entire body were weapons, it was a lot...

Chapter 144

50th Floor, The BNY Mellon Center, The Pitt - 2:17 PM

I watched as the contents of the egg oozed all over the sarcophagus. The yolk stretched and spread without any regard for how small its container may have been. Later on in the run, Geraldo would perfect his Fabulous Cleaning Egg, but this early version of it was decide...

Chapter 143

49th Floor, The BNY Mellon Center, The Pitt - 1:59 PM

I sat there for a while even after my hit points were maxed out. The Skin of Papyrus debuff was a nasty curse, and the moment my adrenaline rush died down I was hesitant to move in any way that could aggravate it further. Unfortunately, that meant staying completely sti...

Chapter 142

49th Floor, The BNY Mellon Center, The Pitt - 1:29 PM

I stood atop the broken glass as I looked over the setup for the last hidden object. This floor was one way from the dungeon boss chamber, and mostly barren except for a raised platform about 3 feet tall that covered the vast majority of the room. Sitting in the middle ...

Chapter 140

4th Floor, The BNY Mellon Center, The Pitt - 11:47 AM

While the fight with the undead crocodile hadn’t taken away much of my hit points, I still took the time to catch my breath as I worked. Its skull had been stuck to its mask, and I needed to cut it off completely in order to take the parts that I needed. The work was ...

Chapter 139

The BNY Mellon Center, The Pitt - 11:14 AM

Several hundred feet underground, the lowest depths of the Pitt were an absolute pain to navigate. As you descended, the tunnels began to become increasingly more hostile. Near the very bottom, several were small enough that I needed to use the Cable Conglomerate and my Warmind ab...

Chapter 138

Downtown Pittsburgh - 8:27 AM

It didn’t take long after I stepped out of the Subspace Depot to hear people shouting from the direction of the Guild of Guilds. The walk wasn’t long at all, and the only obstruction on my path, asides from the vehicles still on the road, was the dense fog. Most of what I heard was confuse...

Chapter 137

Downtown Pittsburgh - 7:49 AM

We walked through the empty, snow-covered streets of downtown without a word spoken between us, though not all was quiet. There were already voices coming from the early morning fog. These were people who were coming to investigate the light of the Guild of Guilds emerging on the surface and t...

Chapter 136

The Chamber of Commerce Building, Pittsburgh - 7:15 AM

As the building slowly ascended, I crossed my arms and waited. Everything around us started changing. Acidic Allen’s body and his puddle were the first to disappear, but soon the chairs, counters, decorations, and more were slowly fading out of existence to be replac...

Chapter 135

The DMV of the Dead, Pittsburgh - 7:06 AM

We both grabbed our tickets as the tremors became more intense. They had to be in hand for the fight to work, which made things more difficult for anyone wielding a two handed weapon. Thankfully, my Vague Stick could be used in one hand, and so could Jamie’s spear.

However,...

Chapter 134

Downtown Pittsburgh - 5:38 AM

While cold, the weather outside was manageable in my Ringmaster’s Hoodie and comfortable pants. Jamie didn’t complain, nor would she, as the armor she wore was insulated from all but the most extreme of temperatures. We walked through the dark street while on alert for any monsters that mi...

New Year, New Plans

(The plans are mostly the same, except more)

Salutations, readers!

Happy New Years to you all. I hope the end of 2023 treated you well, and the beginning of 2024 is shaping up to start things off right. Mine was uneventful, which was pleasant. But that's not what I'm here to say, I've got an announcement, so I'll dive right into it.<...
