Mason found the guest rooms of the palace and soon realized why Haley chose them. Like the touristy areas of an old city, it was the cleanest, prettiest section of something less wholesome everywhere else. But the excitement of spending the night with his wife and no problems wiped away any distaste.
He had some message from Haley explaini...

Mason left Blake at an outer gate with Streak, then pinged some kind of ‘palace servant class’ button in his enormous new patron list. The sheer amount of positions listed in his profile made his head spin. There were literally thousands of civilians working for him. And who even knew how many living in the city.
Yet again he felt the ...

Mason’s people were celebrating now. They were asking him if their friends and relatives were safe, like he had some magic ball into every room in the city. Like all the trouble was over.
“I dunno,” he said, waving at Erik the Swede. “Can you take us to wherever Jeong was keeping them? Did he hurt them?”
The man said someth...

Mason woke up to the sound of crying women, and arguing voices. Being dead was apparently a lot like being alive, just with more pain. OK different pain. And the added perk of lying on some stupid, shitty battlefield like a corpse. He tried to take his first breath and found it surprisingly pleasant. Though it stunk like used magic and ...

“Oh come on.”
Mason woke up in the water cave where he’d first met Gaia. He was cold, in pain, and definitely not dead. Well, probably. His legs were broken again. Which was super. He coughed and spit up water as he crawled out to the stone beyond. Gaia was standing there by her cauldron, in her ‘old crone’ form again as she stir...

The emperor’s ally managed to keep his throat intact with a panicked swipe of his shield. But it was like a man trying to stand against a hurricane. Mason’s marilith arms drove two daggers into Damian’s shoulders, but he didn’t stop his charge. He smashed into the man hard enough he knocked him flying, but grabbed his dagger-arm and yank...

Apparently there's going to be 14 books.
We're close. And it was maybe possible to wrap it up at 13, but...I'll just be zipping past too many bits that deserve more attention. So...can't do it. I'm going to slow it down, take a breath, flesh out some of the little things more.
That's it, basically. That's the whole ...

Mason broke through the final layer of shields and other magic barriers, slashing open his first enemy’s throat. The young man stumbled back with wide eyes and fell, hands still up to channel the spell that hadn’t saved him.
“He’s getting loose! More control! Focus all damage on the others!”
Mason growled and scann...

Blake rolled his eyes as he dismantled another illusionary rune in Jeong’s private dungeon. The ‘defences’ were bordering on pathetic. The whole place had obviously been cleared out by Jeong, with the minor exception of the entrance guardian.
That eye construct had obviously been some kind of servant in the ancient Maker dungeon. It ...

Daniel Nyman, Sergeant First Class in the Emperor's Guard, walked to the city wall with his player team. The whole Council of Man was close behind. Dozens of other teams were marching in loose formation towards the invaders.
It was what they’d all trained for. For months now in the simulations. In the Neutral Zone. Against invading non-h...

Mason didn’t really care how many points Jeong spent on his fancy wall. It wasn’t going to stop him. He raced ahead of his forming players, elven bow out and loosing arrows to test a dozen different targets.
Normal arrows bounced off gargoyle heads. A power shot exploded one. The rest started screeching and jumping into the air.

Blake regained consciousness and found himself carried in strong arms. He blinked and did his best to hold his head straight, shocked to find the large, striking figure of Malik Earthsoul in dragonscale armor.
“I thought you were dead,” he said. “How did you…”
He trailed off when he saw the orc’s eyes were cloudy, staring...

Jeong took a calming breath as his video cut. He hadn’t expected Mason to stop, or accept the treaty. That hadn’t been the point. The point was to see which of the players under his command would waver, break, or turn.
But they’d hardly flinched, save for the older chancellor.
It seemed living in the west had truly har...

It took less than thirty seconds at full speed to cross the field back towards his people. Unbelievably, he saw a lone figure in white robes. It looked like the emperor was right there in the open. He looked almost casual, in no hurry, standing around with a crowd of western players around him.
Mason had his Claws out ready to dive straigh...

The breeze was on fire. Mason charged then spun past a swirling cyclone of arcane magic as a dozen players filled the air with power. He knew this was crazy. That he could get swarmed by a hundred players before long—that surely even with lower level people they could overwhelm him with sheer numbers.
But a piece of him didn’t accept t...

Mason waited and tried not to get too excited about the idea of Jeong coming right to him. It was too easy. And too stupid. There was no way Jeong would put himself at such risk so soon.
“Anyone got eyes on it?” he called to the others. He squinted and tried to make it out, but whatever was coming was still too far to tell. Maybe someo...

Mason led his and Chinua’s players (plus about a hundred goblins) towards the holy city. The goblins looked more concerned about the giant sky than where they were going, or the army of humans waiting at the end. Sometimes they pointed out clouds like they were afraid they might start dropping bombs, or something.
The players weren’t d...

Blake ran (and sometimes flew) through the emptying streets of the holy city, chasing the emperor’s scout. His enemy was fast, too fast, but he didn’t seem nearly as frightened as he should have been. Yes, he was keeping ahead, but not by much. His arrogance was Blake’s main hope.
The goblin assassin was somewhere out there warping a...

“These humans are weak,” said Halvar the ‘Soulguard’, kicking one of a few dead players who’d been guarding their one needed checkpoint. “Are you sure you need our help, wizard?”
Blake took a breath, nodding to a smiling Pliny, and the new lord Stoneblood, who’d secured the gate while the others fought a few more players.

“Good evening, gentlemen.”
Blake smiled as he approached the handful of civilian and player guards protecting one of the holy city’s teleporter beacons. It turned out they had three—the central beacon in the emperor’s palace, two others (including the one Blake had entered) on the outskirts.
Like the one in the orc tower, n...

Mason gathered his players in a side section of the goblin king’s hall. He invited Chinua and a few of his officers, but didn’t honestly expect the rebels to help. He was still glad he’d come and saved them. Even though it cost some lives. They’d be needed when the doom came.
The mood was intense. Serious. They’d lost their first...

Mason woke feeling more satisfied and rested than he had in months. He heard Becky singing in the shower, meat sizzling on a grill. He sat up to find Lodie in one of the cowgirl’s t-shirts (which for her was almost a dress), cooking on half a dozen pans over the lava-based furnace.
She was dancing as if to Becky’s singing, wiggling her...

Mason stopped at the door to Demi’s room, taking a breath to clear his mind. He was still naked, smelling like sex and covered in Rosa and Lexi’s juices. But he wasn’t sure it mattered.

Mason found Rosa and Lexi tangled up in bed wearing comfy, floral pyjamas. They were enjoying a fire, reading books and sipping tea. They looked so cute and warm he melted.
Both girls were already pregnant with his children. The fiery Mexican beauty was on her back, black hair draped over a pillow, staring intently through reading glasses ...

The six huge, abyssal trolls tried to rip Mason apart limb from limb. He didn’t run.
Instead he split apart the first troll’s jaw with his bare hands, pulling off the lower half and tossing it away as it squeezed his chest. By the time the second grabbed his head and tried wrenching his neck, Duality of Strength started to work.
