A Novel Approach chapter 27
Beginning of the heist
Wish upon the Stars chapter 719
“And Shane informed me that he didn’t want to get ‘caught up in the rat race’.” Zeke said with a wide grin. “When I asked him where he heard that term, he said a bunch of the boys on the sixth floor were racing rats and they kept making everyone bet their lunch money.”The crowd around ...

The weighing of the wands
Wish upon the Stars chapter 718
Being a D-ranker was…surreal. Literally, reality felt different to me. A qualitative shift in my perception of the world. It was hard to describe, but I finally pinned down the sensation, and once I did it made way too much sense. It was my sense of Impact. It had always been there, useful for kee...

Making peace the morning after

He stopped running about twenty miles from Wintervale. I wasn’t surprised. He was trying to get away from the situation more than me. I suspect he’d partially figured out what I was doing, and had brought me out here to counter it. The little flurries of snow on the tundra would stick to my clon...

Some new items and plans
Wish upon the Stars chapter 716
It was time. I felt my hands tingle as I clenched and unclenched my fists. A hundred people with me. Callie was gone, taking her fifty along. The angels, Abel, Jessie, Randall, and dozens of others were standing behind me, and all of us were stationed right outside the canon where Wintervale was sit...

“No.” I said bluntly. I stared across the room at Bethy, who had come up with a last minute ‘plan’ to hide our entry into the snowglobe for the attack.“But it’s FOOLPROOF!” She yelled in frustration. “Look how convincing it is.” She gestured manically to…what could generously be ...

“Well if it isn’t the lovebirds.” Said Benny as we walked into his room with Jessie on our heels. He was leaning back in his chair, and Celine had her feet in his lap, which he was rubbing. Her head was tilted back, and she was snoring lightly, but when he spoke she snapped awake, falling off ...

Confrontation with Rita Skeeter
Wish upon the Stars chapter 713
The next month was surprisingly peaceful. I spent it relaxing with Callie, repairing the planet, hanging with Benny and Chelsea, and just generally taking some time to get my head right after the pressure cooker of tension and nightmares that was running an active opposition to a planetary occupatio...

Rebuilding Velan was my first pick of assignment. Well…assignment was a loaded word. I just kind of said what I wanted and people did it. Word was already spreading as the E-rankers returned to their cities, clearing out stragglers and beginning the rebuilding process. I went back to my city, to f...

The big bad of the first arc is chosen!

Once we finished the setup, it was time for the main event. We all retreated to the edges of the formation, except the people that were actively involved. We left the defensive emplacements up as cover, but our advance team booked it out of the tundra at top speed. When we finally reached the edge, ...

Beginning of the dance.
Wish upon the Stars 710
“Everyone is in position, right?” I asked my friends carefully as we stood out among the tundra. “Because we need Bethy and Gabe’s formation in place to blunt any attempts to fuck with the formation. I’m talking sight range of Wintervale. Bethy is more than capable of detecting anyone tryi...

First B-class pull! There was a huge vote actually over on QQ, and it tied so I went with the OG option.
Wish upon the Stars 709
“So can you do it?” I asked excitedly as I stared down at the Moravian. The Grandmaster of Formations was sitting cross legged in an empty volcanic chamber, eyes closed as he pondered…something. Might have been the truths of the universe, might have been a recipe for Paiea. Whatever he was doi...

Time to head to the ball
Wish upon the Stars chapter 708
Valen…was in pretty bad shape. Callie had aimed herself at the Unity building, but the lockdown reinforcement had faded, and she’d gone through the building, into the WCP, and hit the underground district hard. The city wasn’t going to COLLAPSE, but it was getting a little creaky.Luckily, ther...

Short bit of nsfw to start mind the tags, then the preface before the Halloween Ball.

“Why aren’t they attacking?” I said casually as we strolled through the halls. “I expected to be ass deep in Wendigo by this point. Although I have to admit, watching Abel twitch every time they move is kind of funny.” I ignored the middle finger my teacher shot me, keeping most of my atte...

End of the fight, and a big milestone is reached.
Wish upon the Stars chapter 706
“How weird is it being back here?” Asked Benny as he slumped down next to me on the couch. “I still remember us coming here together after you got your powers. It was so huge and imposing, a whole new world. Now it seems almost pathetic compared to some of the places we’ve been.” He put a ...

We confirmed that the plan would work easily enough. Yes no questions were simpler than digging for specific secrets, and after getting that done, we arranged some transportation formations to Valen to make sure we hit the trap with optimal timing. Callie left to get ready to meet us there, and the ...
