“Activating Void Broadcasting units.” “Beginning initial merge. Connection seed has been deployed.” “Detecting anomalies within two of the four energy cores.” The voices called out one after the other as numerous screens brought up the display, showing what appeared to be random pieces of landscape. These were deemed to be the most common locations to detect an anomaly that would alter the world, landscapes where various geographic features overlapped. For instance, there was a desert at…-

As Lifre and Lena were off on their misadventures, and Tsubaki was performing perhaps the world’s most thorough background check, Dana was left to her own devices. She had finally completed her Sky Chariot project, so it was time to move on to her next big thing. Or so she would like to think. Instead, she found herself pacing back and forth in her workshop, frustrated. She had no idea that Lena had impersonated Lifre, and was furious with herself for not realizing this. After all, if Lena could do it,…

Tsubaki let out a small sigh of relief when she finished reviewing the records with Terra. Initially, she had been concerned that the felyn elder, Vespa, would cause problems for the Keeper. However, looking back through, she saw the truth, that the person that Vespa repeatedly asked to eliminate Lena was none other than Lena herself. After she learned that, and discovered Lena’s reasoning and true motivations, she felt more at ease. However, there was still something that bothered her, and that was the…

Vespa sat at her desk, letting out a long sigh as she brought a hand to her aching shoulders. Despite the numerous ways to extend one’s lifespan by shedding the physical form, she had not done so. It was not that she was incapable of it, as there were many resources available to the ninjas. In fact, more than half of all ninjas had undergone this treatment. Rather, there was a tradition among their people. No elder was qualified to possess eternal life. If such an elder came to power, they must…

“So, how has he done?” Ashley asked, stepping into her office and looking at the terminal on the wall. Immediately, a silver-skinned woman appeared on it, smiling at Ashley. Ashley had kept her attention off of Galahan during this duration, not wanting to spoil herself on the story that he was creating for their up and coming game. “Galahan has made great strides to fulfill your request. In these twenty years, he has released sixteen movies, all said to be a part of the same, greater universe. He…

After leaving the scene, it did not take long for Lena to arrive at Olympus. When she did, she lightly slapped her cheeks to help herself cheer up, running inside with a bright smile. “Hermes~! Can you tell me where Tsubaki is?” She asked, even as she was running through the halls. “Tsubaki is currently located at the Keeper’s side, within his personal office. Would you like me to deliver a message?” The voice of the digital assistant spoke up, but Lena quickly shook her head. “No, that’s…

After exiting the void, Jim brushed off his shoulder. He had emerged in one of the less frequented cities of Desbar, meaning that the population was largely demons. Given the time of day, this further meant that many of them were sleeping, as demons were a nocturnal race. This heavily limited the amount of foot traffic that he had to deal with as he walked down the street, towards a nearby office building. There was a demoness inside with silver hair, smiling at Jim as he approached. “Welcome to…

Lena hummed softly to herself as she walked out of the elevator to head towards the gate of Olympus. It didn’t take long for her to master the use of World Sight, showing a similar degree of mastery over the energy as Tsubaki herself. Afterwards, the two of them tested the extent of her abilities to make sure that they both understood what she could do. Tsubaki had her turn into herself, Dana, and even members of the Greater Pantheon. At one point, Tsubaki had asked her to turn into the Keeper as an…

It didn’t take me long to reach the research institute where Chelsea and her team worked. When I arrived, I was immediately able to notice that quite a few things had changed. For instance, there was now a reception area, and what appeared to be a transit hub outside of the main facility, with signs of frequent foot traffic. When I entered the lobby, a lycan woman in a blue jacket smiled at me. “Greetings, sir Keeper. Chelsea said to tell you that she will be here momentarily.” She said, before…

With Lena’s introduction and prompt assignment out of the way, it was time to get an idea of what all had transpired during the twenty years that I missed. There were bound to be several new developments. To start… “It looks like you have something for me, Dana?” I asked, drawing the shorter elf’s attention to me. “Right, sorry.” She cleared her throat, causing me to smile. “I’ve finished the Sky Chariot, incorporating the new weapon designs created by Ashley, Tubrock, and the Metong.…
