Since the first day that he’d arrived in the Tower of Champions, he hadn’t slept more than four hours a night. He wasn’t sure if it was...

Xavier didn’t let himself have another drink. He said his goodbyes to Sam the barkeep then headed back out of the tavern. At first, when he’d been learning more about what being integrated into the Greater Universe meant, it had invigorated hi...

“What?” Xavier blurted. He straightened on his stool, staring at the barkeep of this strange tavern on the bottom floor of the Tower of Champions, the pocket world he’d been sent to. “What do you mean my world won’t survive?”<...

The tavern was quite large. There were enough tables and chairs to seat at least five hundred people. Several fireplaces burned bright, wood stacked beside them, making the room warm and toasty. A lit candle sat on each of the heavy wooden tables...

Xavier sprinted into his university’s courtyard, straight at eighteen goblins, all of which wanted him dead. The sun was slowly beginning to drop below the horizon. The sky was no longer the blood red it had been that morning. The lamps in the c...
