Thierrie had pissed himself. From what Truth could see, Vigor’s shot to the back of the head was the first really serious damage Theirrie took in the fight. He had a broken hand and a broken arm, but nothing remotely fatal. This was going to be fatal, unless Thierrie got treatment soon. “Good job.” Truth struggled to his feet. Everything, Vigor looked at him, bewildered. Then looked at the can he was holding, and handed it over. “Thank you, it’s dinner tonight.” Truth shambled over to Vigor…-

Truth didn’t respect trading violence for money. There was no future in it. Not as a gangster, armed robber, prize fighter or soldier. He had been watching carefully. Most of those jobs were done by the broke, who stayed broke, then died young. On the other hand, violence was the only thing he was really good at and He felt floaty, like he was drifting through an unreal world. His gut burned from where Dad kicked it. It was hard to really focus, his eyes kept slipping around. Truth started sorting out…

The evening routine went about as well as it could. Truth kept his parents from interfering with the evening routine as best he could. They studied pretty well. The practice tests weren’t a rousing success, but he thought he would make it. He was consistently passing the Talisman Maintenance section, but still struggled with the General Knowledge part. Just a little more. He wasn’t there yet, but… just a little more. Fortunately, Dad had pressing business at a dice game, and Mom was fretting over…

Thierrie liked to call himself The Charisma of the Streets. Truth liked to call him “A fucking drug dealing pedophile pimp,” but only if he was being polite. And Theirrie was grinning at his sister, luring her away from her brothers with a smoke. Truth had told him once before. Looks like Thierrie needed a reminder. “Think you got the wrong street, Theirrie. You definitely got the wrong person.” “Nope, don’t think I do.” Thierrie’s grin got a lot nastier, as Sophia ran to catch up with…

Dinner was never anything special because Truth didn’t know how to cook. What he did know was that if you cut up the veg and put them in a bowl and shoved the bowl inside the hot box (not to be confused with the actual cooking range, which only sometimes worked) in three minutes, you would have steamed vegetables. You did the same with the rice, but for five minutes, you let it sit covered for another twenty minutes, and then you had rice. Sometimes the rice was a watery, mushy sludge. Sometimes it was…

The worm demon pulling the carriages always roared in outrage when it was forced into the sun, and the screams of the steel wheels on the rails, falsetto to the worm’s bass, made a hellish harmony. The subway crossed the canal right over Truth’s favorite scavenging spot, so he was used to the noise. The slumrats in the dozens of brown and pollution-smudged white apartment buildings lining the canals, forty stories of indifference and passive cruelty, apparently didn’t even hear it anymore. They…

Immediately Helena said that, Old man James and the others with him laughed. He then said to the people behind him, "Go get the girls behind her. While I face this one." Once he said that, the people behind him rushed out to go attack the girls behind Helena. Helena looked at them as they began to dash towards her with a cold gaze in her eyes. Then she abruptly aimed out her two hands at them and unleashed a powerful magical strike after abruptly casting a particular spell in her mind. Boom! A…-

Then they shook their head in awe. It took four of them to battle one before they could kill her, while Helena had quickly killed two all by herself. Lauren who had been flying about in the air to dodge the killing branches of the vine, then flew towards her sister who held her by her hands with a beautiful smile in her face. "Let's go to the ground" Deborah said while Lauren nodded her head. Then they both lowered themselves from the air to the ground. Once they landed to the ground, they walked…

Talia looked at her friend and then shook her head. She then said "Charlotte, I am sorry. I can't come to your aid. I have to leave here or I will die too." Once she said that, Helena shouted to her friends "Lydia, Lucretia, Lauren, and Deborah, stop that witch from leaving" Immediately she said that, the protection spell that both Lydia and Lucretia casted around themselves ceased. While the powerful wings that wrapped around both Lauren and Deborah disappeared. Then instantly, they shot out towards…

The witch who produced that raucous laughter, had her body begin to glow in violet after casting a particular, Quick Movement-type spell on herself. Then abruptly, she shot out towards Helena who also quickly shot out towards her once she perceived the intention of the witch. Swoosh! Then when Helena appeared before the witch in the next instant, using that Movement Acceleration spell on herself which gave her more speed, exactly many times more than the witch's own, quickly sent out a powerful punch at…
