Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 38
Running off to join a tournament on a whim was more Myrina’s thing than Sakura’s. Since Sakura had joined this tournament, I was guessing there was a reason for it. Since I didn’t want to mess up her plans, I just bought a ticket and enjoyed the show.Sakura was a B-Grade, and I didn’t expect...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 37
We took the long way home and cleared out a lot of monsters along the way. Charlie, Abby, Meghan, and Suzie’s levels all skyrocketed.When we returned home, Sakura, Mimiko, and I all took turns training the group. Despite dragging them through the wilderness to fight monsters way above their level,...

Upon returning home, I dropped Reluna off at her cottage. She had a room in the castle too, but some of her moans were rather loud, so I figured putting her in her own space would be best.Mimiko looked pleased to be back in my estate on Crownhill. She was on guard here in System space, but that was ...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 35
I’d come up with several ideas for how to use the Corrupted Nascent Divinity core to improve Governess. She’d proven fairly capable and loyal up until now, though her loyalty had yet to truly be tested.Still, I was confident enough in what she was already doing for me that giving her another lit...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 34
My heels dug into the dirt, but the strength of a peak B-Grade was more than enough to stop a crashing helicopter. Unfortunately, it was filled with ammunition and fuel, both of which were moments from exploding.Kindling Architect gave me some mastery over temperature and heat, but it didn’t work ...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 33
I watched over the others while they slept. I didn’t need that kind of rest too often anyway, so I would be fine even if I stayed up all night. The brief rest I’d gotten lying beside Bridget would do me for two or three days at least.I went through the plan several times in my mind. This would b...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 32
“We’re supposed to be possessed. Don’t tell anyone we’re not,” Charlie said as soon as we reunited with Abby, Meghan, and Suzie.“Huh?” Abby poked Charlie in the head, probably examining him with her healing magic.Suzie pulled out a dagger that glowed with a sinister red anti-specter en...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 31
In an instant, I took in my foes. They were hazy black shadows, but that was only to be expected from inhabitants of the shadowrealm.They were malformed monstrosities made from human shape only in the loosest sense. The one who grabbed me looked human enough until I saw chattering, sharpened teeth w...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 30
Charlie was excited for actual training the following morning. I had to admit, the idea of training intrigued me.I’d done plenty of it myself at Cyra’s instruction, and I’d learned the basics of adventuring during that dungeon dive with her and Myrina.After, I had run training programs for the...
Amazon Apocalpyse 6: Chapter 29
Arranging another joint training session was easy. Everyone else was surprised when we saw Sergeant Benton again, but I wasn't. I knew he was the one behind most of these expeditions on the military base's side.“Glad to hear you want to give us a chance. With your abilities, you’ll be we...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 28
Our teamwork started slipping after our little team argument. What had once felt like a smooth-running and well-coordinated group was now noticeably sloppier. Charlie’s position was off when tanking a monster, and I had to spend more time on the front lines.I could distract our enemies as well as ...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 27
I spent the night at home, told Bridget and Sakura of my ongoing adventures, then was back in my Himmel disguise the following day. I made arrangements with Margaret for the joint training exercise quest and had everything set up by the time my team arrived for lunch.Charlie came first, followed by ...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 26
Bridget and Sakura were waiting on the other side of the portal for my return. When Myrina came with me, it was a warm reunion. The fact that Bridget was only wearing her apron and Sakura was quick to disrobe the rest of her clothing meant the reunion took a bit longer than planned. Apparently, they...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 25
I’d gotten quite a bit of action with Reluna, but after a few short minutes, I was starting to feel that throbbing need in my loins again. I’d once read it was unhealthy to be pent up for too long, and I certainly believed it now.Fortunately, I had a few more visits to make. I ran into Cyra firs...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 24
I reunited with Sakura and Bridget back home and had to make a quick stop to get out of my armor, clean up, and relieve some of the pent-up pressure in my lower half from a week of abstinence.“Ah... I don’t think I’ll be able to walk straight for a few days...” Sakura sighed into my shoulder...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 23
The human construction workers were very nervous when we all came over in arms and armor. Most of them dropped what they were doing to look for cover.“You wouldn’t happen to have a water spell?” I asked Liliana, who shook her head.“I’m good at starting fires. Not so good at putting them ou...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 22
“That castle will be much easier to assault now when it’s half finished than when the defenses are done. Let me hear your plans.”I turned to Katar and Liliana, who were closest to me. I had a few ideas of my own, but I wanted to hear what they thought.“I’ll blow up the front gates with a b...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 21
Getting confirmed as Knight Commander of the Black Knights turned out to be a rather simple process, despite the lofty badge I’d be getting for it.“Having this position was something I bargained for with the other sorcerers when I was made marshal. I always planned to hand off command of the kni...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 20
The Black Knights and I had a little staring contest. More of them accumulated, but all of them were at least a head shorter than me. They were in ordinary regular armor, whereas I was in my prototype power armor.I felt multiple uses of examine rattle my chest plate, no doubt presenting to them the ...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 19
There I was, eight feet tall, sporting a set of nigh-invincible black and gold armor and swinging a huge sword as I rushed to Liliana’s rescue. I wasn’t sure if she could see me through all the spider webbing, but I hoped I cut a dashing figure.Doomblade’s signature massive sword had also gott...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 18
I dropped Frank off back in Crownhill. Bridget and Sakura stayed up late waiting for me. Sakura was reading a travel guide on Onibushi, while Bridget was taking another look at that parenting book. She had her shirt up as she rested on the couch, and music played lightly in the background.I sat down...

Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 17
Nearby, doors opened, and a crowd shuffled in. All of them wore fine garments that matched what Frank was wearing. Most were fairly low level, but delicate features and untanned skin unused to hard outdoor labor told me this was the city’s nobility. There must have been a second way up to the pala...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 16
We would be making the trip to the capital by carriage. I feared it would be a multi-day ride, and I would have to excuse myself for the trip and leave Frank at the mercy of the Whores Guild again, but it turned out to be a rather short journey.Frank was already in the wagon with our escort, the may...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 15
Taking out the Dark Sorceress quietly would be easy. Doing so without killing her was considerably more difficult. I considered the various tools in my arsenal and eventually decided to just grab her and pull her into the shadow realm. It had worked on one of Vayly Vaust’s B-Grade subordinates, so...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 14
It was a great relief to be reunited with Frank, and I was amazed that he was alright. My bloodline had been acting up, and I’d feared the worse because of it. Maybe I’d just eaten some bad street food while shopping on Glacia. It was hard to tell sometimes.I shook hands with Frank, briefly summ...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 13
I returned home to find several of my quests had triggered. I looked around for Bridget or Sakura and found Bridget in the kitchen.“There’s my favorite baby-factory!” I said, sweeping Bridget into a kiss and pulling her away from the dough she’d been kneading for a kiss. Bridget returned the...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 12
"Paperwork?" Reluna asked, voice full of dismay."Come on, you love paper. You're always making talismans with it." I ran my fingers through Reluna's hair."It isn't the paper I have a problem with. It's the other part..." Reluna grumbled. But then she sighed, m...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 11
Sakura returned to me. The prince charming to the rescue we’d both hoped for ended up being considerably less dramatic. We just walked out of there, and nobody stopped us.Once home, I issued a few more quests, this time directing Frank and the other major adventuring guilds when and where I needed...
Amazon Apocalypse 6: Chapter 10
Upgrading Governess reminded me a lot of working on the Planetary System Hub and meant working on a similar scale. As I started the project though, I found it a bit more enjoyable.I wasn’t working on archaic Architect technology that stemmed from entirely different cultural traditions. I was worki...
