The That said, The Good Powers had to be Naturally, such considerations weren’t that active here. I was drawing what Divine power I did from the souls and Faith trapped in the Shroud, but mostly it was an Arcane Domain made in reverent respect of the gods, and with the Faith and belief I was wielding the magic, i.e., doing what an Arcane Domain made possible. Briggs and Sama were watching in satisfaction as this happened, while everyone else couldn’t take their eyes away. They’d never really…-

The videos were going to set off a shitstorm across the world, and societies which had settled into a form of uneasy security with the world were going to find fires lighting in their younger people: the ones who could easily become Forsaken, and take advantage of knowing how they had to Level! Some people with great willpower and drive would be trying to reach Seven and become Forsaken, too. Vivus and the undead gave them the potential Karma to do so. I wondered how long it would be before some idiots…

“I think you’re going to be on a LOT of fanboy lists after that exposé, Helix,” Sir Pellier said gruffly, trying not to laugh at Helix’s antics. The blue-haired Djinnblood was dancing around, wanting to go into the studio there and make his own alterations to what was going on, but everybody was preventing him from doing so. Father Bower just nodded gravely. “The Helix Method. Multiple Classes spiraling around one. It’s a great name. Everybody’s going to know what it can do, and using him…

Gregorigori had set up the video shooting location. After all, I had hit Five. It was time to deliver on what I had promised Sir Pellier and Heavenbound Hall. It was time for the world to go Vivic. “Hello, I am called Traveler. You may have seen my video of The Human Tongue.” From behind the screen, The Mick couldn’t stop him from guffawing. While most people probably hadn’t watched it more than once, because they didn’t need to, in terms of videos seen only once by people, it probably broke…

Aethra’s Salute finished, and Dusk Renewal swept past me. I didn’t get all my Slots back, but I had most of them. We were on the road now, having flown out of the Deadzone, back to where our vehicles were parked, and we were now heading away and out of the place. We could see fireworks going off in the distance occasionally, and the phones of the people were lighting up with newsfeeds from Heavenbound Hall, and things going on in Mexico. The collapse of the Shrine of the True End was definitely…

I heard some nervous shuffling at that, and urgent whispers I ignored as I continued. “You see that white flame that is devouring your companion there? That’s vivic flame, some nasty stuff, the unnatural energy of the Prime Plane. The undead are going to find this out in the morning, but the ones who died found it out already... because they aren’t coming back.” I paused for that little note of dreadful hope to sink in. “Vivic energy eats energies of other realms and feeds them to the Land. It…

The voice rang through the Shrine of the True End. It was not loud, but it was pervasive, interrupting everything, and making the quiet somehow fuller, brighter, and deadlier. There was very little light in the Shrine, as those living there didn’t need it, gifted with darkvision or devilsight and able to function perfectly well in darkness. It was a wonderful defense against intruders, too, and helped subdue both prisoners and the normal people working there, who knew that venturing out of the lighted…

The words burned in front of him for a long minute. Despite them hurting his eyes, Pedro did not look away, and the golden light of Wrath seemed to reach inside him and find something he didn’t know was there. It turned out that there was indeed something he would not do to escape his Pact... “Save them?” he croaked after a long minute, striving to straighten up. “Save them from what? How do you know my family?” The woman who had killed his team took half a step forwards. “It is the…

“Ah,” she nodded understanding. “The souls trapped there don’t want any interference in their plans for you.” There was just a flicker of shadow in the distance. My eyes snapped over, and she slowly followed my line of sight. “Good speed,” she said, smiling nastily, and then sank into the ground like it was water, vanishing in a second. That kill team coming from the Shrine of the True End was not going to have a good time, running into the one and only Cannibal Jane... ------ He had a…

“I have some questions for you,” Topaz said to me, her rough accent dropping smoothly away, and the more urbane, cultured tones of an educated person replacing them. “Go ahead.” I was in cover and virtually invisible, moving nothing but my eyes as I looked for signs of motion... or the pulled threads of magic. I might see something before she felt Pacts operating nearby, maybe. “You obviously know a great deal more than your appearance would seem to indicate. I admit to never seeing someone…
