Down by Two I frowned as some subconscious voice screamed that the whole situation smelled wrong, which counted as a pun, I guess. We were missing something. Something we could not see. Something that felt a little familiar. I checked the air around us again with Force Sense. If something was in the air, maybe I could find where it was coming from? That attempt partially worked. It did not reveal exactly what was in the air around us, because the sense was nowhere near sensitive enough, but…-

Strange Captives I was faster than a bullet as I dove toward the rear ranks of the skeletal mages, an enhanced demon sword in each hand. Simply flying through their formation completely disrupted it. Before they could react, two hundred skeletal mages had been cut to pieces. For the first time in several battles, waves of energy flowed through my veins. My magical power climbed one step, then another. I left that fact for after the fight and charged into the second line of skeletal mages,…

They Are Buying Time “All of this feels like it was designed specifically to delay us, just so the big bad can finish his doomsday plot.” In my hands, the sword had already become a disk two meters across. “Zhao Linshou, could you shoot the ceiling on the other side of the room? I have an idea, but I need more disks, which means I need time. Also, if this works, I want the enemy caught off guard.” As the old hunter’s enormous gun began firing golden beams of energy that would normally…

Pushing Through Level by Level The huge, ugly demon swung its blade, cracking the air as the weapon broke the sound barrier. The blade was saturated with magic, making it impossibly durable, and the demon poured enormous strength into the slash, trying to cut anything foolish enough to block it into pieces. A moment later, another seemingly identical sword rose to meet it, edge to edge, set at an angle meant to grind the blades against each other. To the surprise of the demon wielding the…

A Twelve-Person Assault Team “The tower is going to shoot at us with—” CRACK-BOOM! CRACK-BOOM! CRACK-BOOM! CRACK-BOOM! A colossal bolt of lightning tore through the sky with such violence that it staggered the weaker members of the group. Its blinding light made the cloud-covered heavens brighter than the noon sun, and the shockwave of its passage blew away the rain within three hundred meters of the bolt itself. It was spectacular and terrifying, with enough power to vaporize anyone…

Forty-Three Hours Left Putting one point into Strength filled every muscle in my body with more power. It felt like a surge of adrenaline, or a powerful performance enhancer. My body tightened, changing even as the additional strength took hold. The second point doubled the effect. My palms widened by the tiniest amount, my fingers lengthened, and my arms grew thicker. The changes were not obvious, but I had already reached the upper limit of the body size I preferred, and I had no idea how…

Earthquake Out in the wider world, almost no survivors noticed that anything was wrong. The distortion was both subtler and grander in scope, and the people inside it were part of it. Military drones and satellites in the sky, however, were sharper than human eyes. When photographs of a region suddenly stopped matching previous geometry and could no longer be described by any known mathematics in a way that made sense, computers tended to notice very quickly. That drew…

The Seeds of Change Descend In a dim room beneath the center of the ruined downtown of Sanguang City, figures began appearing in groups of two and three. Roughly half of them looked identical: the same solid build, the same muscular limbs, the same classically handsome but unremarkable faces, pale skin, black hair, and hollow eyes flickering with strange inner light. They wore what appeared to be simple black plate armor over garments of chain, leather, and linen that clung to their bodies like a…

There Are Contingency Measures In his mind, the map of the city was less a map than a pattern of forces. The remnants of the old military, the outposts, the local resistance, and the few local talents growing against all odds into genuine threats. All of them were moving toward an endgame he had been arranging for some time. And yet the situation was now developing in a direction he had not foreseen. The local resistance’s firepower had suddenly increased significantly, showing two…

The Temple Summoning Begins The temple was built from interlocking shapes and images symbolizing Mavis magic, Mavis history, and the written forms of specific spells, again using sympathetic principles to connect with the summoning ritual. Magic was guided by intention, and language was intention encoded into arbitrary symbols by the shared agreements and beliefs of hundreds of Mavis generations. Therefore, language could guide magic. The conversion ratio was extremely poor. One had to carve those…
