My peaceful flight didn’t last long. While earthbound predators couldn’t catch me, there were a lot of very dangerous aerial monsters around. Flying too high risked catching the attention of th...
2024-12-17 00:03:10 +0000 UTC View PostStepping through the door was an odd sensation. My senses, imbued with Impact as they were, and bolstered by my Perception, were always working in some capacity, even if I offset most of the consci...
2024-12-13 19:53:24 +0000 UTC View PostSaying my goodbyes was pretty sad. I’d grown fond of a lot of the people around here. Still, before I left, I made one last executive decision. I passed out a series of scrolls. Ray, Elena, Bella...
2024-12-12 16:42:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing I did when I finished Sammael was head out into the woods to test it out. First, I started with my strength. It was hard to check out the specs on it without equipment, but the easi...

The last Horcrux is destroyed
2024-12-11 20:14:51 +0000 UTC View PostI fell into my bed with a thump, twitching and groaning. The rebirth had been mostly just more of the same. The Falls had prepared me perfectly, albeit to a MUCH smaller scale. It was agonizing, dr...
2024-12-10 17:24:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe end of the trials marked the end of my time on Rackham, but not exactly how I expected. I’d figured there would be a few days downtime and then I’d be put on a ship to somewhere. I’d also...
2024-12-09 18:12:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe first step up the cliff was a whole new dimension of agony. The trials had me redefining that word every day now, but this was definitely my new benchmark for pain. More than that though, it to...

Discovering how to help Harry.
2024-12-06 21:37:52 +0000 UTC View PostI waited the extra two days to finally have my friends use their wishes (minus the five emergency scrolls). Seventy two wishes at twenty five points apiece gave me eighteen hundred up front, not to...

coming up on the end of the RWBY arc
2024-12-05 17:49:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe next five days did NOT go by quickly. They dragged on. And on. And on. My head was splitting from the constant information overload. Dantalion was rough over a long period of time, and the incr...
2024-12-04 21:18:04 +0000 UTC View PostIt always amazed me how stratified the Ascendant world was. I’d stolen from a Count, but a wealthy one. He should have been able to hire some C-rankers to send after me, but the custom of separat...
2024-12-04 01:47:45 +0000 UTC View PostAfter I finished training with Bella, I headed into the Heart and got some sleep. Specifically, I hit the hot tub, and I deeply enjoyed the effects of the soak, especially when I realized Chess had...
2024-12-03 00:45:20 +0000 UTC View PostI had Bernadette drop me at a clearing a few dozen miles away from the Heart, close to a nearby town. I wasn’t willing to lead anyone else to the place, and the trip passed pretty unremarkably. I...

Interrupting the rebirth ceremony. Lots of company.
2024-11-29 15:43:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt took me about three steps to notice the needles. I’d started with momentum to try to ride my early wind to victory, and they were so sharp and fast I barely even noticed them to start. Of cour...
2024-11-28 14:04:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning I woke up feeling strangely exhilarated. I had another trial today, but after almost a week of sifting through random paperwork and nothing else, the pain didn’t seem so overwhel...
2024-11-28 00:09:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe next four days passed in a blur. Dantalion, parse the info, then repeat. I actually had to start using Beelzebub to speed up my sorting, because after repeated usage, I’d realized Dantalion a...
