Adventures in Time, Space, Life and Death
Retvik checked the map, then looked up at the building in front of him, then checked the map again. The map said he was in the correct place. The presence of members of the 47th Legion suggested he wasn’t. This bothered Retvik greatly, because the 47th Legion, dressed up in black, red and gold, was … Read more
“How are you feeling, Nyssi?” Nyssi tutted to herself as she flicked through a digital magazine. It was more of a catalogue than a magazine, full of reviews for the latest weapons and armour for gladiators. Sure, Nyssi had her cool custom Xeno Desssaron One armour, but she wanted some more weapons for herself. She … Read more
“I am so glad I kinda instantly heal now…” Tenuk muttered as he climbed into the back of Nyssi’s truck. “Kinda surprised that we’re driving home though.” “I know I shadowjumped Retvik and myself here and I know I once shadowjumped an entire ship, but I don’t have the strength or courage to shadowjump Nyssi’s … Read more
Tenuk didn’t expect to wake up and see a yellow blur next to him. As his eyes focused, Tenuk realized that, no, the yellow blur wasn’t part of the hospital room he was currently in, it was in fact his friend Kayel. “Uh… hi…” Tenuk was groggy, and his stomach felt weird. As he glanced … Read more
“Thanks for coming with me, Tenuk… Uh… Tenia…” Tenuk glanced down at his chest. His female chest. Tenuk was currently shapeshifted into a pale blue female Temthan and was pretending to be Nyssi’s girlfriend, calling himself (herself?) Tenia and wearing quite a few of Nyssi’s clothes, mostly a black vest top and jeans, as well … Read more
“I thought the High General told you to take a few days off?” Ritlir smiled as they looked up from their work. Things had been oddly quiet lately among the 10th Legion, despite the recent change in leadership. “They did, but I do not want to spend time in an empty apartment that is too … Read more
As soon as Nyssi had read that sickening message, she knew she needed to urgently do something. Right that second. Without hesitation, she cancelled the date she’d planned with a random fan from her slowly growing gladiator fan club, she’d apologized to her team for bailing on going to the mall with them (although Retvik … Read more
The evening had turned out quite nice, but Kuta was still somewhat shocked at how they had been so blatantly ‘adopted’ into this small family of friends. Admittedly, Kuta hadn’t really said much. They had sat back and mostly just listened in, but they definitely felt like they fit in. As time passed, everyone had … Read more
“Today’s been weird…” Tenuk muttered as he sat down with a drink and a bowl of marshmallows. He was supposed to have been eating more healthily as part of a training routine to give himself more muscle mass, but Tenuk had been struggling, and it turned out that Spasts couldn’t really get muscular anyway. “I … Read more
Being a small, mechanical being that also somehow had emotions, Nuh regularly wished that he had a way of expressing them outside of the tone of his flat, mechanical voice, and the brightness of his large, lime green crystal eyes. Sure, Nuh would occasionally use his telepathy to express particularly strong emotions to his siblings, … Read more
Kuta was utterly miserable. It had been a long time since they’d experienced a breakup, and Kuta was taking it badly. Things were made worse by the fact that they still loved each other. And things were made awkward by the fact that Kuta had been forced to report the breakup to others. In hindsight, … Read more
“So, while we’re all just chilling out, mind if I ask a question?” Kayel glanced up from the kitchen, where he was busy preparing two pigeons he had shot and killed earlier. Pigeons were considered a massive pest in the city of Palaestra, and there were no laws against killing them. In fact, there were … Read more
It was pretty late, and most of the arenas had shut down. There were a couple of late night matches just finishing up, but things were quiet, which meant that the commotion in the Gold Suite sounded weird. Normally, the Gold Suite was left empty, as it was meant to host the four deities of … Read more
“Well that was hot.” “Definitely.” Kayel yawned and sat up, stretching out his arms. There were still specks of blood on him from his arena battle. He’d played the Big Bad, a vicious monster, his job being to stop a bunch of contestants from escaping a specially set up arena. Had any of the contestants … Read more
Normally, the Big Bad in the popular Thirteenth Night arena game show would be announced in advance, and there were several House Fighters who would regularly play as the big, scary monster that would go around pretending to kill contestants. Today though, the identity of the Big Bad had been kept a secret until all … Read more
