“Are those… sucker marks?” The harbor pilot shouted incredulously within moments of her boat pulling beside the Fair Gentleman.
“Aye,” Aunt Karla grunted as she threw out a line to the woman on the much smaller vessel. “It was an eventful trip.”

2023-11-17 19:00:15 +0000 UTC View PostFor William, there was at least one notable upside to living in this new world.
His younger sister.
He’d been an only child in his last life, and in many ways perhaps that had been for the best. But in this one, he found that the role of ‘older brother’ was one he quite rightly cherished.
Possibly because it’s one o...

General plot, characters and a whole shitload of oth...
As assassination attempts went, it couldn’t have been better timed.
He wasn’t wearing his suit and he’d dismissed his guards less than a minute ago, as he wanted to speak to An alone.
So he was completely alone as he stepped out onto the fortress’s rooftop, and his assailant descended from above.
Soundlessly.

Went for my post-op interview with the expectation that all would be fine and I would be done in ten minutes.
All was not fine.
The 'granulation' has formed something like a bridge across my throat - which goes some way to explaining why I've been whistling when I yawn. Plus, the difficulty breathing. I thought it w...
Credit where credit was due, Murm reacted quickly.
Honestly, Jack probably wouldn’t have even perceived the claws that would have killed him were it not for a single lithe leg flicking up at the last moment, the bladed spur on the end perfectly positioned to intercept the sword that would have ended his life.
The miner did see the ...

It was kind of funny, the way the Divinity twitched at Jack's words, pausing in the act of doing… something to Jack’s microbots. Whatever it was, it made for a peculiar sight, as the Divinity sat cross legged in mid air, a storm raging around them, as the rooster plucked translucent stra...

He’d been born a farmer. Then he became a refugee. And now he was a soldier.

Truthfully, the distinction mattered to him not a whit. His superiors could call him whatever they liked, just so long as ...
2023-09-30 13:03:58 +0000 UTC View PostWell, I'd say that Sexy Sect Babes has about three or four chapters left before the end of the book and the first trilogy.
And as much fun as it's been, I'll be glad to step off it and change things up once more. I don't know about other writers, but I find things become a lot less free flowing towards the end of a book - let alone the en...
“Do you yield?”
Shi could feel it, the edge of a blade against her throat until it pierced the skin. The way blood ran in rivulets from where it bit into the flesh.
Yet it was a void in space to her otherworldly senses. As inert as the stone beneath her feet.
She supposed she shouldn’t have been too surprised that a craft...

It was amusing how… dainty Huang was being as she skipped to her throne. It had been a day since her victory and the young woman was still walking on air.
Metaphorically at least.

It was clear that she saw her presence on t...

“There’s something on the radar, sir.”
Yao instinctively moved to respond to the console-woman’s report, before hesitating as his gaze flitted over to where High-General Gao sat.

Jack had exactly half a second to celebrate successfully sneaking up on a superhuman as he angled up towards the sky with his struggling cargo pressed against his chest - before she elbowed him with enough force that he felt it through the suit and he dropped her.
To be fair, sneaking up on her was a fairly impressive feat, given ...

Jack shifted in his seat to look at An, who was leaned up against one of the back walls of the basement cell they were in. The same one they’d stored Pen and her cronies in back when the Silver Paw had still been a going concern.
