DMA - B2 - Chapter 49 – Embrace the Void
Jace is going to be the first of the crew to gain his Ascended Power and Advanced Class!And then the second half of the chapter will focus on some ‘slice of life’ wholesomeness as a ‘rest’ between Earth’s adventure and the next one.>>>---<<<“Converting 2x Common (Variable) to (Stardust) and using them.”//////////////////////////[Stardust Acquired: 500.]//////////////////////////“Well, since we are going to cap off anyways, might a...
LLOTF - Chapter 25: What secrets lie within?
The room that he was greeted with was disappointing, to say the least. A circular chamber that was shaped like a bell – wide at the bottom edges and slowly, gracefully curving up to a singular point in the ceiling. Suspended from that center point was a slightly glowing seed that shone light below.A small pedestal made of the same wood under his feet stood upright, and on it was a scroll – made from the same plant substance he had used earlie...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 48 – Factions and their schemes
We are going to be spending some time in Khrox on this chapter.It’ll also be a longer chapter. No combat. Setting up future plot lines and some threats down the line.Also, level-ups to 100 towards the end. If you love seeing numbers go up, lots to look forward to here!>>>---<<<The night passed quickly. Jace spent hours just talking to Shhiv. Sharing his life’s story. From his being left at the orphanage when he was 6, his street folk mentor v...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 47 – Truth and comfort
Jace led the way out of the General Logistics facility and back to the front entrance. The mercenary forces were gone.“You want to talk?” Priam asked.“Not now,” Jace replied as he led the group to the side of the room. “Seems like one of those Aspirants or Ascendants didn’t die,” he stated, observing the lack of bodies.Greg cursed, “Damnit! They took our Stardust! I used somany rockets.”Dee pouted as well, crossing her arms, “...

DMA - B2 - Chapter 46 – General Logistics – Interior
Jace had frozen as all the firearms pointed at him, but a voice came over the speakers inside the facility. “That’s enough.”It was female, and somehow…familiar to Jace’s ears. Okay, weird.He used the moment to slip away.Quinn’s voice came over the comms as the map under his chin updated, and he glanced down at the layout of the facility. “Oddly enough,” Quinn said, “The whole route to the server room is locked down…but someone...
LLOTF - Chapter 24 - Trying to open the vault again
Getting up to his room and shutting the door, Tristan made sure to lock it. Felicity looked around in a panic, “Where’s my treasure!”Tristan pointed to the two bags, and she dove for them, pulling the drawstrings on the top open before letting out a sigh of relief. “Good. We still have all of it!”“I didn’t know fairy dragons were greedy,” Tristan said as he walked to her, grabbed the bag with the suspected-artificed items, and mad...
LLOTF - Chapter 23: Guardsmen and a sister's visit
The meal was just as scrumptious as he remembered, and Gertrude made hugeportions. Tristan scarfed down plate after plate, filling himself up past being full because the flavor was just so good.“Not surprising,” she said as she cleaned down the table. “You’ve had horriblefood during your travels, I imagine.”Tristan nodded and swirled the watered-down wine in his cup. “Yes. Sometimes, I traded some manual labor for a warm meal. But a l...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 45 - General Logistics: The Approach
Jace led the whole group under the effect of his Dark Matter Cloak (Rank 3) [Group] and they ventured through the portal from The Cosmic Corridor leading to Earth. He approached the kiosk and tapped the button for Beijing.The pastel-blue portal appeared, and the group entered. They emerged in the center of a densely populated city. People in the same dull-green jumpsuits were going from place to place. Checking the time, Jace saw it was nearly ev...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 44 - General Logistics: Preparations
12 levels worth of Stardust, Bloopa ‘said’ as she went through her various fractal shapes.Priam nodded, “I need a single-target healing Skill that cures everything, like what Greg has. But it needs to have range, as well.”10 Ranks would max out Seraph’s Soothe, which fits exactly what you describe.“Perfect! Then, 2 levels into that From on High damage Skill right after.”//////////////////////////Name: Priam Westerfold (Aspirant, Tie...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 43 - The Star Market, Revisited
“Finally,” Xera muttered as the message she sent days ago finally resulted in a call. She pulled up a holographic panel and a familiar face appeared on the screen. The shrouding effect that made her appear as a dark silhouette was already active. “Thank you for getting onto this group call,” she said as she adjusted her spectacles.“Pardon the late response,” the tall, thin, blue-skinned, pale man replied. His hollow cheeks and sunken ...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 42 - Why board when you can blast?
Dee woke up to someone shaking her shoulder. A distant voice shouted at her, and she heard the loud crackof something impacting the floor below her. “Get up!”She shook her head and willed her ‘eye-orbs’ to the slot for them on her chitinous shell. The Priest was crouched next to her, a golden barrier covering him like a hexagon carapace. “What is it?” she asked groggily.“We’re being attacked, and Greg is out of rockets!”She coul...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 41 - Acidic Artillery and Island Implosion
Dee glanced down at her Cosmic Power symbol. The bright, green Nebula swirled and bubbled on her chitinous shell’s hand, and she grinned with delight as she felt the call of the power at her fingertips.The trio had emerged inside an enormous storage facility on the water. A place where boats could be stored indoors. There was a large door that went down below the surface of the water, but the trio were able to easily infiltrate nonetheless.Greg...
LLOTF - Chapter 22: A little bit of improvement
Felicity stood up and looked Tristan up and down, letting out a whistle. “Impressive. On-demand illusion. That willmake veiling your identity much easier.”Tristan was buzzing with excitement and he ran back over to the desk, flipping the primer to the back. There has to be some type of artifice identification spell. Something that lets me determine what my weapon and armor can do.Felicity walked up behind him and peered over his shoulder, “...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 40 – Saving the Signer
Priam let out a shocked yelp as he found himself weightless for a moment before slamming down again. “Ouch!” he shouted out, more out of reflex than anything else as his barrier had taken the hit. “What happened?”Quinn’s voice came over the comms, “You’re sinking! Enduralife trapped their specimen room. You’re dropping down reallyquickly. The shell lookslike it’ll be strong enough to hold back the pressure – but you’ll be on...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 39 – Jello assault
Alarms and warning sirens went off all around the trio. Jace saw the various people scrambling to get inside buildings that quickly shut with blast doors as windows were also covered with sheets of metal that descended from above. All of the street lights went on full brightness, bathing the entire artificial landmass in piercing, white light.The sound of booted feet approached from all directions, alongside the buzzof drones that were headed ove...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 38 – Aspiranti dal Cielo
Jace rolled out of the tent and shook Greg and Priam awake, “Come on. Time to go to work.”Priam grumbled and turned over, “Five more minutes, dad,” he muttered still half-asleep.Greg sat up, grabbed the bunny-boy, and lifted him up by the scruff of the neck, “Alright sleepyhead. Get up. Time to go kick some corpo ass!” he unceremoniously tossed Priam out of the tent and into Jace’s arms.Jace helped Priam stand up as the Oslia rubbed...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 37 – A change of plans
“Take this you weird, insect freak!” Dee felt the tremendous crunchas her chitinous shell took a massive impact.She spit out a globule of goopy, yellowish blood that splashed harmlessly against the Skill-shrouded figure who was using her as a punching bag. The entire clear, plasteel chamber she was suspended within was covered with her viscous ichor as blow after blow was delivered.Her Wayfinder, a mix between a small cat and an owl, was bein...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 36 – Returning to The Cosmic Corridor
Jace ran up the staircase, turning the corner as he heard the loud screechof the elevator descending to deposit another payload of corpo-soldiers. The burning rage was still festering in his torso, and he stood in front of the elevator. “Raging Cleave (Rank 10).” His blade ignited with darker, crimson fury as a spectral extension appeared that would let his next strike hit anyone within the blade’s distance x10. In this case, 50 feet.Ollie ...

DMA - B2 - Chapter 35 – Empire State Tower – Server Room
Quinn’s voice crackled over Jace’s earpiece, “The basement level you’re in has a staircase that goes down to the server room, but there are several defenses set up. I’m talking turrets, electrified hallways – this is going to be tricky.”Jace nodded as they reached the stairs, but paused as he heard a tremendous grinding noise of metal sliding on metal. He saw a part of the wall off to the side begin to slide upward, and could see th...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 34 – Empire State Tower – Executive Suites
Strosh trundled his way up the stairs alongside the dozens of heavily armed, armored, and prosthetic-enhanced megacorp troops. In addition, he was told a cargo elevator was heading up on the far side of the building carrying a good number of mechs.Right now, the Myscape Industrial forces were dispersing themselves amongst the entire tower. Strosh, however, took a detour and headed towards the server room. Using the pass he had been given after hi...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 33 – Empire State Tower – Rooftop
//////////////////////////[Stardust Acquired: 40,000][Stardust Split: 10,000]//////////////////////////Jace whistled, “Damn. That’s a lot. And it’s 2,000 per level, right Ollie?”“Yup!” Ollie nestled in around his neck like a warm scarf. “Five levels worth.”Jace looked around at the now-littered-about weapons, armor, and mechs. All in pristine condition. “Would be a waste to just leave this all here.”Quinn crackled over the com...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 32 – Vengeance for the Fallen
Ollie appeared in the Starlit Sea, the liminal space of The Cosmic System. He saw Valerie – Quinn’s sparrow Wayfinder – and floated over to her. “Hey! Can you open up a line of communication with Quinn for me?”“Sure!” Valerie replied.“How have things been in here?” Ollie asked. “I haven’t seen you around Quinn at the apartment.”“She prefers me to be here to facilitate her Broker Skills.” The Wayfinder’s voice became ...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 31 – The Wrathblade, cometh.
“I think we got him!” Mary shouted, pumping her fist into the air and clapping Cherly, the Planet Mage who had used an ingeniousmetal combined with flame to burn their foe.“We need to stay focused!” Kado, one of the Pulsar Mages replied. “Don’t distract us!”“Oh, right,” Mary, their Planet Medic, replied. She backed away a few feet to wait for her allies to inevitably destroy the Aspirant. Delta’s magnetism to crush his prosthe...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 30 – Rooftop Rumble
Jace jumped down into the demolished building, sliding down the now-sloped-inward roof, and coming to a stop right in front of the cybernetic warrior who had the icy-blue Nebula symbol on his left hand. Slashing across the torso, he frowned as he saw the blade didcut – but no [Rending] crimson bleed. The deep purple of the slowing micro-singularities didappear and begin to spread.The figure cursed before their chest opened up and an enormous, a...
LLOTF - Chapter 21: A primer on artifice
Tristan heard a bell ring in the corner of the workshop. Gertrude knows me so well;he thought as he set the hammer down. Glancing back at the open window, he saw that Felicity had returned and was watching him intently.“How long have you been there?”“Not long. Is it ready?”“The food? Ye-”“The armor, silly.”“Oh. Yeah, armor repaired – got the dents out. And the sword is sharpened.”Felicity flapped over to each and opened her ...
LLOTF - Chapter 20: The Anorox Townhouse and a letter
Leaving the castle, Felicity wrapped herself around Tristan’s neck once more as he put on a cloak and re-did his Disguise Form spell to make sure it incorporated the new accoutrement. He could feel his mana core spinning as the spell was cast, and it felt…slightly bulkier, or unwieldy. He brought this up to Felicity as he descended towards the lower levels of Highreach.“Oh, that means your mana capacity is growing! That’s a good sign. It ...
LLOTF - Chapter 19: A conversation with an Archon
Tristan got out of the tub once the water became cool – which did not really bother him, thanks to his lineage; it was tepid, despite surely being much colder. After drying off, he put on the loose pants and shirt left alongside the towel, before repeating his Disguise Form spell to re-establish his half-elf appearance. Getting out of the restroom, he nodded to the two servants.One of them opened the door and departed. The other, a young woman ...
DMA - B2 - Chapter 29 – Jace takes Manhattan
Greg let out a deep sigh as he faced his allies. “Before we tackle Myscape Industrial, you all should know whyI hate them so much.” His face betrayed his emotions – emotions that Jace knew well. Hatred. “They didn’t justlead to my Streetrunner crew’s deaths…the megacorp actively caused them to die. We were set up. Hired by a Myscape executive to steal from another executive in the same company.”“Sounds risky,” Jace commented, ...
