Note the biblically accurate angel, the historically accurate sword, and the Child Of The '80's accurate haircut! Volume 3 is coming out August 27, 2024. If you didn't know you could pre-order it on Amazon already, you can pre-order it on Amazon! Per Podium's policy, the book stubs a month in advance, so Vol. 3 will be stubbing next Tuesday, July 27, 2024. Which leads us to the comic incompetence, and a bit of truth in advertising. See, what's on Patreon and Royal Road as Vol. 3, and what's going up on…-

“It comes down to a change in the relations between people. No chance in Hell I’m going to be able to shape the government after the collapse. But I can set up cadres of young, fit people, people trained to operate in a no-magic environment. People that really believe in teamwork, and the notion that one person can’t win if everyone else loses. It’s got to be win-win all the way around. Competitive with outgroups, certainly. But internally? Strong bonds.” Truth chopped the air with his hands.…

Truth let his thoughts drift for a minute. Should he ‘fix’ Niles? He probably could with Cup and Knife. He was actually a little scared to try. Not because he thought he would hurt Niles… or whatever his real name was… but because he had a horrible suspicion that it wouldn’t work. In a rather dark way, he had given Niles a ‘revelation’ and set him on a holy path. Now, does that sound like something that needed fixing? Slavery? What’s slavery to an angel? The next question was, how does he…

“My Lord? There is no need-” Niles started to speak, but Truth cut him off. “Accept it or don’t. Either way, I stand by what I said. Now, since I know you don’t think I have anything to apologize for, we will talk about your work. Looks like you have achieved great things.” Niles struggled for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, my Lord. We have followed your instructions diligently. We took as our foundation your words- Faith, Family, Prosperity, and built from there. Building the ideological…

Truth worked quickly and methodically, letting Incisive guide him from those most urgently in need of help to the least. Not that there were any light wounds. Other than a few children and a handful of Level Zeros, most of the bus was filled with Level One citizens. Their apertures collapsed. They were in utter agony, and worse, they knew it was never going to get better. Until it did. Until two strong hands were placed on them, and a miracle happened. It slowly got quiet by the side of the road. The…

The trip to Harban was dull. To his intense horror, he had run out of books. He had been right there in a small city, and didn’t even think of stopping by a local bookstore and picking up some schlocky romances. Second hand books must be cheap as Hell right now. And yet, somehow, he whiffed. Shameful. Just disgraceful. It was a boring few hours. He tried to spend the time thinking about what he wanted his revolutionary organization to look like, but kept going around in circles. Eventually he gave up,…

Truth laughed and walked forward, arm slung over the Prophet’s shoulder. He didn’t respond to the question. Someone walked straight through Etenesh without noticing her. Had anyone asked, she definitely would have denied yelping. She started looking around furiously. It was almost like a nightmare- everything was familiar, but wrong. This market should be teeming with spirits and demons, but she didn’t see a single one. There were wagons, sure, but ones pulled by animals. No carriages. No sleek…

“Why would I want to run, person that I have never met before?” The Prophet laughed awkwardly. Meeting someone’s reincarnation wasn’t weird. The world was only so big, after all. It was just… usually the changes were bigger. More dramatic. This was, even for them, an uncanny degree of carry over. Even the aura of obstinate interest was the same. “Dunno. You looked shifty. Some reason you don’t want to cough up the goods? Mmm? You wouldn’t happen to be a “Err… I am very definitely a…

Truth slowly blinked at Cho, then checked the crystal again. He eventually found the summary page that said essentially what Cho had- that Starbrite was ritually sacrificing himself to himself to achieve the lifespan of “the very stars.” There was some speculation about whether he would force people into a mass suicide and the life energy of the sacrifice would somehow become his life, but by this point the summary had devolved into wild speculation. “This is the best you could put together after…

Truth met Cho’s eyes. The silence stretched. The secret policeman was still. Returned to the absolute calm he had cultivated over a lifetime of being everyone else’s worst nightmare. Truth could watch the man sort through his options. All the things he had learned from this meeting and the recorded meeting at the Sung Clan. Every action they thought or suspected Truth was related to. Every inference of his politics, his ideology, his motivations. Trying to figure out what he wanted. Truth watched him…
