"What was that?" I closed my lips and thought. Next to me, Titania had her mouth covered and was squealing. What did I say? "Would you?" I asked again, slightly shocked at the words that left me. It was almost as if I had no control over myself. Lethe grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. She leaned down and whispered in my ears. "You are the one who doesn't get a choice," she said. "You will marry me. You get no choice." I nodded. "That was the plan, of course." Lethe stayed like that for a…

A door swung open and closed behind me. The scape of a wide forest stretching as far as the horizon went peeked out of the window while the walls of wood inside the grand chamber that were shaped to accommodate the entirety of the alliance stretched up high. Just like in every other world, with the help of the dwarves and the dryads, the world of the elves too housed a gateway that served as the eyes of the Worlds Alliance, and the gateway of connection between the worlds. A World Tree. As soon as…

It was hard to believe that things would be as organized as they claimed them to be. So naturally, they weren't. Similar steps were taken all over the world, to hide incompetence was just one. To avoid panic and growth, internal strifes and mutiny, all of these were strongly related to the matter. "Do any of you know about the Dark Moon?" I asked the ones in front of me, and all of them tilted their head. "I don't know." "Haven't heard." I looked at Noa and she shook her head. A sigh of relief…

The Nagas just needed some time. Now that the skies had been largely cleared out with a few swings of the baseball bat, they could see the night sky clearly. It helped them think once more that god was still around. The rest of the expedition team now joined by me waited behind while the Nagas built a giant pyre as part of their rituals. They were going to offer blood around the pyre and set it ablaze. It was supposed to be done with the blood of the one being cremated, but they decided to use…

It was a little strange to explain, but Noa did it anyway. While she did that. "Stand absolutely still, it's only going to be a single shot straight in your forehead." "Break a leg, kid." My sister was busy trying to load her gun and empty some lead straight into my head. But no matter how much she tried, almost as if it was magic, all the bullets passed right through me. Spoiler alert, I was not standing still. I could hear the voices of the others in the distance while the Nagas had no choice…

Reuniting with people was quite the hassle. It was accompanied by a lot of tears and snot. It was probably enjoyed by a lot of sadists out there, but I disliked it. Whether it was reuniting with Dawn in the Empire, Maria, Lily, and Keith back in Apollon, or any other reunion. All of it was annoying. Ok maybe Keith was fine, he came after my neck and was pissed about the alcohol. That said, reuniting with people was hasslesome even more so when people had likely presumed you to be dead. That is…

"Come back! Retro fucker! I'll give you a good Retro beating!" The Retro Builder dashed ahead, sticking out of the ground was a giant scythe that stretched straight to the skies. "Huh? Is that a weapon?" Retro Builder suddenly morphed and grew two hands. It picked up a giant stone from below and sent it reeling at me faster than most ballistic missiles. I covered my hand in Cataclysm and reached to punch the giant boulder. As soon as my hand reached it, the boulder tore open from the center…

Concept. It was something that went beyond the simple energies any of us used. A concept was just like the name entailed, a very core of the world itself. An idea, and ability so primordial that none could control it. The Outer Gods were just the manipulators of concepts, the gatekeepers. They had no control over the gate itself. But that made them all the more tricky. Since what one was trapped behind was the gate and not the gate keeper. To 'defeat' an Outer God, one had to counter the concept…

Noa watched with widened eyes as the person she had tripped on turned to the side. She knew she was supposed to run again, but the teal tablet that had been stubbornly pointing northward all this time had finally changed sides and was pointing right at the man on the ground. The man suddenly stretched his hands above his head and yawned out loud. The Outer God on her tail still approaching. Did he have no sense of danger? No… why… was the damned teal tablet pointing at this guy. "Hey.…

The place around me was rather unique, I hadn't seen a land like this in a long time. In fact, the last I had seen something this ruined was probably when I had met with Jack Clayton in a large gate break. Everything around was in tatters, everything. The buildings around had turned into rubble, the roads into cracks, and the sky was littered with black smoke that kept spilling out from the fires that had broken out all over. There also seemed to be many living things in this place, a whole troop of…
