Chapter 56:

Chapter 55:

It was with a growing sense of unease that Alice kept one eye on the approaching mass of enemies as they bulldozed their way through the ever-growing swarm of ants. She realized s...

Chapter 54:

Titus looked down to his left, precisely two feet behind his ankle, where the little bastard always stayed. He was shocked to find that Tony's near-constant presence was gone. Nev...

HS Chapter 53:

Chapter 53:

Ants piled in from all directions, and Alice stood by Titus's side as they watched the battle. Despite Titus's wishful thinking, things weren't necessarily going as well as he had...

HS Chapter 52:

Chapter 52:

Titus tensed next to her, and Alice flinched as she stared at the level 45 ant Queen. She reached her hand out and grasped Titus's bicep, gently holding him back. "Titus," Alice w...

HS Chapter 51:

Chapter 51:

The ants had spread much farther out since the last time Alice and Titus encountered them. Whether they had simply stripped the area nearby bare or if it was more about time a...

HS Chapter 50:

Chapter 50:

Despite Alice's worries, Titus returned relatively quickly. She had been preparing to mount a rescue mission if she couldn't find him and Tony. But Alice shouldn't have doubted hi...

HS Chapter 49:

Chapter 49:

When Titus went back to his experiments, Alice left him be. She might have been able to help, but she had too much to catch up on with her own projects. Before he was totally lost...

HS Chapter 48:

Chapter 48:

Now that she was finished with her crafting project, Alice looked up and checked her surroundings. Night had fallen, and her stomach grumbled, reminding her that she hadn't eaten ...

HS Chapter 47:

Chapter 47:

It took a surprisingly long time for Alice to run out of breath, even at a full sprint. She managed to maintain it for nearly a dozen blocks, and even though her legs were burning...

HS Chapter 46:

Chapter 46:

Alice lost herself in the shovel. She traced lines all throughout the edge, making it sharp, and then up and down the handle, increasing the strength of the wood. She wanted to re...

HS Chapter 45:

Chapter 45:

Alice stared as Titus pulled the phone out of his pocket and placed it on the table, face up. They both were surprised to see a random number ringing. She had half expected some a...

HS Chapter 44:

Chapter 44:

When Alice woke, Titus was already up and about and had breakfast ready. As she sat down in front of the plate of mostly still-warm eggs, gave him a mumbled greeting through blurr...

Chapter 43:

It didn't take long for Alice and Titus to return to the store. Again, they ignored the shopkeeper, who ignored them as they pulled up the lists. Titus scrolled for a bit before h...

Congratulations on your inscribing success. Enchanting has now been added to your profession’s tab.

Alice looked down at the block of metal that sat on th...

HS Chapter 41:

Chapter 41:

Alice skimmed through her code. There were tens of thousands of lines in the AI, but the space-finding program she had made was relatively simple. This was the first time she had ...

EV B2 Chapter 10:

"Well, shit," I said to Astrid, and they leaned back in the booth, needing a moment to think. I lifted my glass and drained it, setting it down next to the wine.

"How far did you guys get?" ...

Chapter 40:

The walk only took him a few minutes before they found what was essentially a clone of the shop they went to last. The clerk was the same unassuming, blond man-ish thing that look...

HS Chapter 39:

Chapter 39:

Alice sat on the bar stool, her forearms resting against the wooden countertop, doing her best to avoid the sticky spots. She ignored the glass of cranberry juice, dripping conden...

HS Chapter 38:

Chapter 38:

The first several extra ants came back to them directly and didn't attack right away. Rather, they circled around cautiously, looking at them with their eyes and waving their ante...

October Update

Quick update:

So, I missed last month, oops. I just scheduled the last chapter of Homegrown System, or Relic, as I may have referred to it before. It's a relief to get that ...

HS Chapter 37:

Chapter 37:

As soon as they could, they switched to an actual car. Titus found a sleek-looking Lexus with a full tank of gas, and they wove through the streets towards the city. They circled ...

HS Chapter 36:

Chapter 36:

Titus didn't answer Alice's question right away. Riding on the ATV, clinging to his back, she couldn't see his face. At first, she had tried to only hold on to the vehicle or his ...

EV B2 Chapter 9:

With a long, drawn-out breath, I leaned back into my booth and closed my eyes, trying to make a final decision on how much I should tell Astrid. This was something I'd been wrestling with for a lon...

HS Chapter 35:

Chapter 35:

Alice dove to the ground, narrowly avoiding the projectile of salt flying over her head. From her prone position, she pointed to the large group of salt elementals attempting to g...

HS Chapter 34:

Chapter 34:

The salt flat flew past, and the sound of the ATV rumbling along filled the silence. Alice, though, didn't register any of that. She was too wrapped up in her own thoughts.

EV B2 Chapter 8:

I took another step forward, and Astrid took yet another step back. She was only a step from the wall. She didn't recognize me when I stopped, realizing that I should. Lookin...

HS Chapter 33:

Chapter 33:

Titus was racked with unreasonable nerves. He slowly took down the second tent and started packing things up. As Alice worked next to him, he tried to search for the words to say....

HS Chapter 32:

Chapter 32:

When Alice woke up, she was alone in the tent, with light streaming through the thin fabric. She stretched and blinked, feeling surprisingly comfortable despite having slept on ha...

Chapter 31:

Before Elaine could answer, Titus said something in a language Alice didn't recognize. She had heard him curse in it a few times, and it had a similar cadence. Alice couldn't tell...
