  • by Matthew Thompson Brance found himself at a loss for words when confronted about his presence in the ; luckily for him, however, a certain young lady was ready to hop in and save his ass from a potential interrogation. 'Pardon me for interrupting, sirs, but I have been here the whole time, too. As for why neither of you can pick up on other people while part of my connection, that is simple.

Cynrik told the confused man before waving toward the rest of the group to drop their stealth skills. "You, what, where, HUH? Hold up, did you say you are the leader of the Tier-3 VSFA Team?" Looking from Cynrik to all the other members of MyrkLys, along with the two…
  • by Matthew Thompson While Cynrik was charging up his Umbral Tailed Beast Bomb in the Shadow Realm, dozens of beings who could be considered "Higher-Ups" from different organizations around the continent were thrown into a panic by his and the two Ravens' actions.

However, unlike what one would expect, instead of causing an uproar, two of the three quickly and quietly left while furiously typing away on their Watcets, leaving the final one, Colonel Brenden Hawthrone,…

Down below, Cynrik floated on his back with his eyes closed,…
  • by Matthew Thompson In the Shadow Realm, half a dozen meters below the Tier-1 and Tier-2 VSFA Teams, Cynrik clapped his hands loudly, causing everyone to flinch, before he began speaking. "Change of plans, no riot for you lot, blame Brancie; instead, I will have to do some micromanaging. Here's the plan; above us, you will see the two teams and the chaperones from our Academy."
