Chapter 50

(Quick heads up – someone on RR pointed out Russians have patronyms as middle names, and the last name I was using for Maksim, Igorevna, means daughter of Igor.  I went back and fixed this.  His new name is Maksim Igorovich Zamotin or ...

Chapter 49

Occasionally, something like this would happen.  Dan tried not to have a routine.  After so long, just as he was good at predicting what Asmodon would do, the demon was able to do the same. 

Like the old saying – everything ...

Chapter 48

All my team besides Dan started using their allotted time in the Sanctuary of Revelations and began working on their Spirit Nexus. 

That whole building is surrounded by doors.  There’s never a wait to get in.  Participants j...

Chapter 47

(WARNING!!!: This chapter contains horrible sexual assault and other terrible atrocities you really may want to skip.  It’s safe to read up to where the term ‘blackout drunk’ is mentioned, then skip to the chapter break and change of Po...

Chapter 46

Oh, I should probably tell you that the last guy wanted for murder was dead.  I knew that, but none of the participants did. 

It’s not really important but since I’m catching up with events, that was an event.  He got slau...

Chapter 45

That fat prick looked like he was in real trouble now!  I had no idea what the flower thing was, but it looked like it was shocking the shit out of him.  I saw it the last time Dan was there, but it was slow moving and hadn’t reached t...

Chapter 44

Dan could just wait for the Sortilege monsters to disappear from the Crucible area.  He was still going back there though.  For a few reasons.

As he told Ace, he had started regulating, and he wouldn’t be done until every single ...

Chapter 43

What’s the marriage situation like where you come from?

[What?  Why?]

Just wondering.  When I was still in my brood, marriage wasn’t even a thing in my layer.  Not really.  Everyone knows only the prudes get mar...

Chapter 42

Dan’s vision in his one good eye kept blurring and threatening to stop working.  Things would get dark for a moment.  He’d think that was it, and he was blind, but then his eye would start working again.  Mostly.

Ever sinc...

Chapter 41

Yeah.  I have no idea how he broke out of that stun.  Pretty impressive though. 

Dan jumped to the side and rolled away, somehow managing to avoid most of what was coming at him, but he still lost his Block charges right there...

Chapter 40

Ha!  We had that fat idiot now!  By the stupid look of despair on his dumb face, I could tell he knew he was a dead man too. 

Bob and Az’ga bet me that he’d turn tail and run.  I knew he wouldn’t. 

But ev...

Chapter 39

Dan knew Lilith wasn’t in her true form.  She had taken on a form mortal men found irresistible.

This form was young and had perfect and radiant olive-colored skin.  Her eyes were an endless gray with specs of green and blue with...

Chapter 38

Dan hoped he was making the right decisions.  Retraining his mind to his new reality would take some time. 

He had thought about only gaining one level and stopping at 21.  That would allow him to increase all his Orbments up ...

Chapter 37*

The next morning after the usual routine – exercise, meditation and reflection, and breakfast – the parties were reformed back to how they were originally. 

Dan told everyone to always stick together, to not take any shit from anyon...

Chapter 36 *

When Dan got back, only Austin was dicking around.  Everyone else was doing something productive such as working together on tactics and performing mock battles. 

Dan had another shield he gave Carlos.  He wanted them to compl...

Chapter 35

Just in case you’re wondering, I’ve been trying to think of a name for worlds making it the full cycle as Earth did, like I have for garbage and turd worlds.  I’d rather not use another word for excrement, but that’s all I can think o...

Chapter 34

Dan asked my other team members, “What Trial did y’all want to do next?”

“Agility Trial,” quickly declared Leena.  “I know I can get SS.”

“Don’t feel pressure to dot hat.  F-rating is fine.  Not dying i...

Chapter 33

Amanda laughed and kissed Dan’s nose again.  “Daddy, you gotta dodge now.”

With regret, Dan forced himself back to reality and immediately dove out of the way of a lance beam. 

The False God usually followed that up wit...

Chapter 32

Dan threw the corpses in the Trial when it opened.  To hide his foul deed from other participants.  Or maybe he was just tidy.

[It sounded like he wanted the men to attack him.  He provoked them.  He lied about having fra...

Chapter 31

Dan had well over an hour to kill before meeting up with those two I told you about, Dotty and Andrew. 

He ended up running through the Trial of the Rapture again.  Then he meditated until it reset and ran it once more before headi...

Chapter 30

Did you notice it?

[What?]

The Limitless Trait.  Remember, I said Dan purchased Efficient with his token.

[I noticed.]

I’ve never heard of anything like that.  The channel’s Trait often upgrades, but it upgrad...

Chapter 29*

(Warning: this chapter contains talk of self harm.)

“I told Marisol where I’d be for the night,” Dan told Millie.  “I stormed out.  She was freaking out at me the whole time I was leaving.  I even tried t...

Chapter 28

I have a knack for remembering conversations.  I could do the accents and speak very much like these mortals do, but I would never stoop to such levels of depravity.  I articulate gonna as going to and fidna as fixing to.  I leave o...

Chapter 27

Dan felt a little out of whack since he didn’t get the chance to really meditate and reflect on his revelation.  Leena ruined the time he always set aside for that.  Even Asmodon had let him meditate a little in the morning. 

Chapter 26

Since Dan only had a couple hours of sleep and got up without complaining, Ace, Chet, and Nick tried following his example. 

Becky sent Bonnie over to him with another flower.  The child wasn’t scared of him any longer.  It ...

Chapter 25

At the high-pantheon shrines, Dan didn’t even bother kneeling which is considered very disrespectful.

While standing, he said, “If what the Trial in the Boneyard says is true, it’s all y’all’s fault this is happening to my world.&n...

Chapter 24*

Dan was still wound up from thinking his brother and all the people in his tutorial area were killed by a third Sortilege.

And talking to that big group of people before that.  He knew he had come off foolishly.  What he had worked...

Chapter 23

Dan didn’t look around inside the Mausoleum of Bak’ung.  Not even at the giant ax in the middle of the antechamber, and that ax is super cool.  There’s a ton of cool shit in there.  I love it when participants try to steal it....

Chapter 22

Dan didn’t leave the tutorial area right away.  At the exit, he used the Orbment-Effect Charm on SUMMON INFERNAL.  I’m always interested in seeing what those’ll do. 

Guess…never mind.  It changed it to SUMMON ASHE...

Price Change Notification and Refunds

When I created this I checked some of the biggest authors for pricing. One had two advanced chapters for $3 and the other had four or five for $10. I thought I was giving a good deal. Since, I've checked out some of the big authors on RR and le...
