By the time I got down to the training room, the very same one that Yr'Arl and I had used the first time we had sparred together, the feline alien was already there and waiting for me. He had conjured a chair with his manna and was currently watching something on a holographic display that emanated from a watch-like band on his wrist. By the almost grumpy look on his face, I could easily assume that his little misadventure with the chilli had already been uploaded onto whatever this universe's equivalent…-

What I hadn't realised when I was cooking up the feast for my two companions was that a bit of a crowd had been drawn to the common area of the Initiate dorm room. Aliens had been drawn in by the strange smells from the oven, and then upon learning what was about to happen had settled down to watch the two brave souls that dared think themselves able to consume the spicy human dish. The two aliens took their first bites at the exact same time. Their spoons were full and loaded as Yr'Arl brought his up…

Seeing the look on Belana's face as Akash, Yr'Arl and I walked out of the room in unison was probably one of the greatest highlights of my time in Prespian city so far, you know right after gaining magical abilities and being given a second chance after…

"Are the others awake yet?" I asked the Squadron Leader. "If we're going to have this talk, I only want to go through everything once, time is of the essence here." "What do you mean, time is of the essence? The threat has clearly passed," The Squadron Leader replied. I shot him a withering look and hoisted my aching body out of its floating bed. I had known from his cowardice during our fight with the hybrid that Belana wasn't the smartest of people in Prespian City, but this was taking his arrogance…

Six Years Ago: Lara knew what she wanted, and her father was going to give it to her. She had graduated from the training academy with the best marks possible, she had shown an affinity for manna at a degree that had seldom been recorded in the known records, and she had the ability to employ that manner in a wide variety of offensive and defensive waves. She could make a difference on the front lines, pushing back Null Space Invaders and the Human scourge alike and she knew it. She also knew that…

The next time I woke up it was clear that a significant portion of time had passed, if only because of the stacking debuffs that had started to weigh up on my system. Currently the system was proclaiming that I had a strength and manna usage debuff that had stacked twice, which meant I had been under for two days. Two whole days. That was technically half of my life in this new world that I had spent completely asleep. It was also two days that Lara could have been doing absolutely anything she…

The creaks were getting progressively louder every second that we stayed on the ship, and I wasn't sure how much longer the space vehicle would be able to take the pressures of the ocean. A lot of people make the mistake of thinking that, just because a spaceship can fly around in space where there's no atmosphere at all it should also be able to fly underwater. But in the vast majority of cases that simply wasn't the truth. In space, a ship has to worry about a single atmosphere breaking free into the…

My mouth dried up as I looked at the figure up on the viewscreen. Those piercing green eyes with their subtle glow, and that voice. It seemed impossible. I'd seen Lara throw herself to her death, tangled up with a Null Space Invader as they plummeted to the ocean below. She couldn't have survived. There was simply no way. But then, there she was, in classic bond villain fashion lording her deceit over us all. "Lara…" I breathed out loud, "You're alive?" "Oh Jacob, you're ever so quick," She…

After explaining the nature of the time loop to Yr'Arl and Fal I turned my attention back over to my system display. [ Jacob Lyre Stats Sheet: Level: 17 HP: 1550 Manna Reserve: 5500 Strength: 675 Active Ability Points: 6 Passive Ability points: 1 ] I was surprised by the amount of XP that taking out the Time Beetle had given me, it was way more than the Null Space spider hybrid had given me. Though in a way it made sense. While the spider had been a formidable opponent in battle, the…
