Chapter 227: Nights in Calvania
Okay, bring up Drafting. Calvin thought, kicking his heels from the side of his tower, the light of Soscath shining down on him as he surveyed his domain.I have a domain.

“Y’Kuingi!” Calvin shouted upon seeing his erstwhile pseudo-fiancee.Is it just me or has she grown a couple inches? Calvin wondered as he did the traditional crabwalk-arms-raised greeting of The People.“Welcome to the village, my lord.”“Your lord, is it?” Calvin asked. “Since when?...

Chapter 218: The Hunger: A.K.A. The Curious Case of Lady Grey
I’m hungry, Calvin thought to himself as he sat on top of the train headed toward his territory, taking the scenic route so he had time to think about his life and where he wanted to take it. The wind blowing in his hair felt nice.Wait a minute. I’m hungry! Calvin started, having grown accustome...

Chapter 7:***Jessica***A little projectile hummed from Jeb’s hiding place toward the monster, then the three mermaid heads, a good chunk of the water and the monster therin, simply vanished, in a ten-foot sphere.Crack!

Chapter 217: Signatory Royals
“That’s interesting.” Calvin murmured, watching his index and middle finger burn with white flame. They were losing their color and turning into grey ash as the flame advanced from the very tip down past the first knuckle.“Calvin!?” Kala’s voice snapped him out of it.Blade body.One of Ca...

Chapter 215: Liar, Liar
I’m not one to get stage fright, but this is nuts, Calvin thought, sliding out of his seat and shuffling to the left.“Other way,” The marquis Surrak said under his breath.Calvin glanced up and saw that left was indeed a dead end.Son of a bitch. I guess I do get stage fright.Calvin reversed cou...
Chapter 214: heads of state

“Wanna run that one by me again?” The Hash’Maje asked. Calvin could hear the teacups rattling in place as papa Entredez’s eyebrows raised.“Kala got killed, but I took care of it, invented a cure for death and am currently persuading her to take it, but she’s still a little hesitant. I’...

Chapter 211: It’s totally legally binding
Once he calmed down, Calvin reneged on the whole ‘eating him alive’ plan and simply killed Carem, cutting off his head, removing his heart and lobotomizing him before putting his body on ice.The reasoning was such: It takes at least a month to eat a human body the old fashioned way. That was an ...

Chapter 208: A losing battle
Imagine time as a slimy hagfish, an eel with no beginning or end. Every time you poke the future, it squirms on you, changing the result, so in order to achieve a very specific outcome, you have to manually pin it down, checking on it time and again, forcing the wriggling, slimy hagfish to lie still...
