Contacting the Soldiers “The hunt went very well. Little Black and I…” He patted the portable cannon resting on his shoulder with the fondness of a man petting his own son. Since he treated the shotgun that way, the name was not even the strangest thing about him. “…took down quite a few stronger ones. The invaders building those towers have been trying some new tricks in the eastern suburbs.” Then, as if performing a magic trick, a bottle of beer appeared in his hand. He casually…-

The Counterattack Is Underway “Is that so?” Despite the absolutely stunning, possibly supernatural beauty of their armed escorts, the young man slowly regained his composure. His usual cynicism came back with it. “Then what are the other two reasons?” “The second reason is cooperation,” the other twin told them as she led them toward the kitchen, turning her almost bare, beautifully curved back toward them. It felt a little condescending. She had not even disarmed…

The Recon Squad Runs Into Xia Xinglan “Hey, Deadwalker, what do you think that is?” asked a man in dark brown and gray urban camouflage, pointing at the towering structure north of their position. “Think it’s an enemy stronghold?” “Possible,” the aforementioned Deadwalker muttered in a whisper that was barely audible. “I doubt it, though.” Everything about the tall, muscular, fully armed Marine seemed dim, lifeless, and faded. From his voice, which was far too low, to his…

Sweeping the Field A vast demon army was moving slowly through the ruins, its formations repeatedly disrupted by craters while its light infantry were forced again and again to detour around rows of slagged cars. Their numbers were so immense that the streets could not contain them. Stragglers spilled onto sidewalks and into alleys. Despite their slow pace, despite the terrain, despite resistance at every step, the advance of the undead army was unstoppable. At the front marched hundreds of…

Advanced Nearby Object Manipulation lv4 With the attribute points distributed, the next issue was the more complicated matter of ability points. The first step was to examine my actual options. I selected the ungrouped abilities that could be upgraded with eight points or fewer and asked for them to be listed. My ability panel responded. Time Leap lv2: Move a perceived target weighing up to half a ton to the position it occupied two seconds ago, or to the position it will occupy two seconds from…

Awakening the “Word of Force” After my most recent fight, I had not gained the usual power-boosting energy right away. It came only after a considerable delay, and there was far more of it than I had earned from most of my other battles, wildly disproportionate for a fight in which I had not even killed an enemy. My suspicions about those differences were not only confirmed, but the changes in the arrangement of my ability panel made the importance of what had happened impossible to…

My Best Friends Are Making Out When the plate was nearly empty, Grandma Lin leaned back in her chair with a satisfied sigh and asked, “Tell me, sweetheart, have you seen my nephew? Lia said he is recovering and told me not to worry, but…” She fidgeted. “…well, worrying is the privilege of old people, is it not?” She gave a small laugh, but it sounded a little forced. “And he vanished rather suddenly a few hours ago, so I wondered whether you might know. Since you are…

The Infuriating Little Brat “If I had told you, would you really have gone?” The map changed. A lone figure was holding a street against a tide of monsters, slowly being overwhelmed by sheer numbers. Lia tapped a nearby building. A few seconds later, stray shots from several monsters struck key explosives inside it. The building shook, then collapsed. That opened a gap into another street, where the enemy had already gathered. I leapt up, wanting to do something, anything, but another…

This, Too, Is Part of Growing Up Minute after minute passed. The metal gradually warmed beneath my work until it glowed a dim red, just barely bright enough for human eyes to notice. The work was calming, almost meditative, and it let me separate myself from the fight I had just survived and from the tangled, useless mess of feelings still knotting up inside me. The wires had to be braided properly, or they would not support one another. They had to be ductile enough not to snap under stress, but…

I Won, but Could Only Run I was still falling. Proximal Manipulation remained cut off. For the moment, however, I had his weapon in my hands, and I had many ideas about what to do with it. I could make any force he applied to the axe weaken by an order of magnitude for a while. I could make it nearly weightless, almost unaffected by air resistance, then throw it into orbit. I could wrap it in flame and try to melt it. None of those options was guaranteed to work. So I chose…
