A Soldier's Life - 405 - The Essence Of Things (minor edit on 6-13-25)
Chapter 405: The Essence Of ThingsThe camp of adventurers we passed on the road to Brausis was empty as we rode by. I paused and stepped off Ginger for a moment to send out an earth pulse. I didn’t find anything that suggested they had been attacked. The fire pit still held hot coals deep under th...

A Soldier's Life - 404 - Clash of the Titans (edited 6-7-25 +100 words)
Chapter 404: Clash of the TitansWe weren’t foolish enough to wait for the creature to emerge fully, and together, we moved toward the tree line along the cliff. One of the bugbear chieftains stumbled out of the entrance. With my aether sight, I could see he was badly injured, his steel sword was s...
A Soldier's Life - 403 - Trouble Emerges (edited 6-6-25 +150 words)
Chapter 403: Trouble EmergesAs we walked into the woods, Kyrenic followed behind me, with Blaze trailing behind him. Neptune’s tear was bright tonight, and my companions didn’t need the ambient light of wisps to see. In a soft voice, Kyrenic asked, “Fortuna’s Chosen? Isn’t that the Telhian...
World Sphere - 57 - Lightning Quick
Chapter 57: Lightning QuickI woke early and was anxious to increase the level of my lightning reflexes spell. Although I wanted to demolish Gareth in a spare badly, I decided to keep the new spell secret. If I openly displayed the spell, then the news would travel, and I would lose my advantage, not...
A Soldier's Life - 402 - Weight of Leadership (edited 6-5-25 +200 words)
Chapter 402: Weight of LeadershipNo one looked eager to begin the cleanup. Many of the defenders had injuries that were being treated and were in shock from the intense fight. Kyrenic was starting to direct people, breaking their malaise. The mayor had fled, leaving the guard captain in charge, who ...
Town Builder - 102 - Father-Daughter Time
Chapter 102: Father-Daughter TimeWhen I was alone, I could finally examine my options in more detail.This choice was a lot harder than I thought it would be after seeing what else the Divine Favor could do. Finishing a building instantly was a huge boon, but there were other possibilities as well. T...

It is time for another game of: AlwaysRollsAOne Needs to draw on the "Think Tank" (edited 6-2-25)
So things are happening. Eryk's aether pool is nearing 40, which means he can unlock another affinity. That also means he is close enough to imprint his displacement spell form. Furthermore, he is accumulating enough energy / lightning essence to learn a spell form for that affinity. Having all ...
A Soldier's Life - 401 - Buggers (edited 6-2-25 +150 words)
Chapter 401: BuggersBlaze opened a barrel and started to refill his quivers without asking. He was actually spending a few seconds to inspect each arrow before sliding them into place. He had defended enough walls to know he had time.Kyrenic dumped our bag of heads onto the wall. He looked up, impre...
A Soldier's Life - 400 - I Invited the Neighbors Over (edited 5-31-25 +100 words)
Chapter 400: I Invited The Neighbors Over“Last arrow,” Blaze muttered bitterly. Blaze aimed and released and cursed a second later, “Dragon shit.”We watched the wisp as it fluttered in circles high above before drifting away from us. It had been a good night: eight will-o'-the-wisps and ...
A Soldier's Life - 399 - Grandstanding (minor edits 5-31-25)
Chapter 399: GrandstandingAs we moved to a clearing to give Blaze a line of sight, I skewered a gremlin hiding in a rotten log with the Heartseeker and another hiding in a shallow pit beneath a carpet of moss. I used the spear to trigger their simple traps before I harvested them. My earth speak mad...
World Sphere - 56 - Finally!
Chapter 56: Finally!The week was miserable for everyone. Cold, heavy rain fell non-stop from the 2nd to the 5th day. Having so many days of continuous rain on the floating island was more than unusual; none of the instructors could remember it raining for so long. That didn’t stop the instructors ...
World Sphere - 55 - Floor Plans
Chapter 55: Floor PlansWas this some kind of joke? A Bricio? Why would Loriel send a member of Bricio family? The Bricio family was everything that was wrong with Skyholme. Power-hungry, manipulative, and willing to exploit others to achieve their goals.“I am sorry, Isla, but I think I was hoping ...
World Sphere - 54 - Gareth's Folly
Chapter 54: Gareth’s FollyIt was late evening when we walked back to into Hen’s Hollow. When I got back to my room, dinner was over, and I found Gareth lamenting on his bed. He bemoaned, “Oh Storme, I wish you hadn’t left today. I did something stupid. So, very stupid.”I touched my friend ...
World Sphere - 53 - The Shiny Platinum
Chapter 53: The Shiny PlatinumWe followed Bylura closely. The wolf girl’s ears constantly twitched, demonstrating her alertness as she tried to track everything happening around us. When Callem spoke to me, her ears stilled as she focused on our conversation, “Storme, are you sure you want your ...
A Soldier's Life - 398 - Wishful Wisping
Chapter 398: Wishful WispingKyrenic led us across the city to the artificer. As we walked through the town, everyone seemed to know the foreign knight and greeted him by name or with a smile. I checked, and the aetheric haze aura surrounded him. My curiosity finally won out. “What is your aura, pr...
Town Builder - 101 - God's Revival
Chapter 101: God’s RevivalThe fate of the other hard-wired players weighed on me. I was only worried that they might decide to raid the Duchy and kill my NPCs, but it still wasn’t fair to them to have an insurmountable mountain to climb to freedom. Some of the hard-wired players had been clever ...

A Soldier's Life - 397 - Brausis (edited 5-25-25 +100 words)
Chapter 397: BrausisWith the elemental confused, I swung off of Ginger and slapped her rump, “Run!” My other hand was already raising an aether potion to my lips.Blaze’s riding horse had dashed ahead, and he was trying to regain control of the spooked gelding. The earth elemental continued to ...
Town Builder - 100- Thieving Bastards
Chapter 100: Thieving BastardsIt didn’t take me long to come to a decision. “I will not resist if you let my companions go.”The elementalkin's hands were engulfed in blue flames, dancing up his arms. He seemed to be deferring to the human woman. She glanced over at my companions, who were ...
A Soldier's Life - 396 - Fork In The Road (edits on 5-25-25 +200 words)
Chapter 396: Fork In The RoadI found I had copied a dozen books that referenced dungeon purges in Godok, and the news was not good. I had only briefly recalled what a dungeon purge was during my time flipping through the Archives. These occurrences were extremely rare and usually signaled future tro...
World Sphere - 219 -
Chapter 219:I pushed the Maelstrom to return as quickly as possible to Skyholme. Partially, I wanted to impress our passengers, but also because we had been gone for three days. Wynna and Callem were wooing the five dark elves from the Quartz Creators Guild on the trip, and I thought to drop them of...
A Soldier's Life - 395 - A Purge
Chapter 395: A PurgeKyrenic spun his long sword, loosening his wrist. Although the hilt was unadorned, the glossy silver blade immediately indicated that it was a dungeon-forged artifact. He freed his shield from his saddle, and it was clearly an artifact as well by the silvery runes on the inside, ...
A Soldier's Life - 394 - Heart of the Storm (edit 5-21-25 +250 words)
Chapter 394: Heart Of The StormEvie had been excited to finally get some serious lessons with her new blades, and I had been hoping to see what a Queen’s Champion was capable of. However, this was not meant to be today, as the crew raced across the deck. The blue sky quickly darkened into blacknes...
A Soldier's Life - 393 - The Shadow Belt
Chapter 393: The Shadow BeltWe were four days from our second layover in the port city of Delpsa in the Kingdom of Gorgiphia. The days melded together, and I was shocked how fast Evie was not only learning Elvish but also her fluency in Telhian was rapidly growing. Granted, she spent most of her day...

A Soldier's Life - 392 - Compounding Interest (finished second half of chapter 5-17-25)
Chapter 392: Compounding InterestThe great thing about dungeon artifacts in general is that you are not required to have a specific affinity to use them. The artifact itself converts the raw aether into the required affinity for the spell form. Artificers can do the same thing with manmade artifacts...
