Damn I enjoyed this chapter which ends this arc and leads us into the next.Chapter 231When his eyes opened, Matt felt his entire body go clammy as the nerves immediately set in and ramped up to a solid three out of ten before he squashed them.He was nervous, which everyone said he would be, but he w...
Chapter 230

Chapter 224
Chapter 224Matt awoke from his legacy-induced slumber to see the black monolith standing in front of him, pristine as the day that it was made. It might have lost a bit of luster, but even Matt’s senses couldn’t tell if he was just imagining a small dimming. He sighed and stretched, extracting h...
Chapter 223
Chapter 223Matt was sitting at the table in Mara and Leon's suite while eating breakfast with Aster, when Luna appeared from nowhere to sit on their table, startling both of them.“Get ready. Ciceron just arrived, and I want to get the three of you in sooner rather than later.”Liz, in the mid...
Chapter 222
Chapter 222Matt looked into the sky, using [Telescope] to inspect the food hauler.It was huge.No, it was massive.At a mile from bow to stern and almost a third of that from port to starboard, the ship was completely unable to enter a planet's atmosphere. But then again, it didn’t need to, with...
