Among the many things Michael learned during their time in the mortal realms–most of it completely useless and trivial–one of the more helpful was the fact that all mortals needed rest. Or at least most of the ones they met. Something about mortal bodies just meant that they could get tired, exhausted, weary, etc. andContinue reading “Chapter 36 – Night of Revelry and Day of Rest”

Chapter 35 – Thrillseeker
Michael slammed the door shut, dropping every bag in their arms as their hands erupted in flames– “Ah ah ha~!” the demon chided, wagging a gloved finger with a cheeky grin, her black teeth standing out against her purple flesh. A pair of golden eyes shone as she sat up, resting her hands on herContinue reading “Chapter 35 – Thrillseeker”
Chapter 34 – A New Journey
To the surprise of no one, least of all Michael, it turned out taking the motor carriage instead of normal transportation had some unintended side effects, the worst of which being that the stupid thing was–for some reason or another–a practical magnet for monsters of all types. The moment a large boar crashed into theContinue reading “Chapter 34 – A New Journey”
Chapter 33 – Returning Favors
The Three Shades monastery was, as Noriko explained, the home of the Sanying Clan, a people originally coming from the mountains of Liorzula, down in the southern continent known as the Sun Lands. There was some deep history there regarding persecution, dark magic, and the charity of the Gororans to the clan, but Michael wasContinue reading “Chapter 33 – Returning Favors”
Chapter 32 – Tempting Fate
They wound up staying for another blasted week in Gorokiva. Things started just fine as they arrived at Shiomi. Sure, there was a surprisingly celebratory mood for a city that had just been ravaged by an invasion, but they did suppose it was only natural for mortals to be happy about their victories. The capitalContinue reading “Chapter 32 – Tempting Fate”
Chapter 31 – Rainy Recuperation
The boom of thunder woke Michael with a start, their eyes shooting open under the…completely dry ceiling. The fact that there was a ceiling to begin with was confusing. As was the fact that they were now wearing a nightgown. Especially since they last remembered– “This gal hasn’t brought it up before, but you snoreContinue reading “Chapter 31 – Rainy Recuperation”
Interlude 3 – Downpour
Divine intervention was a rare thing. For good reason, or so the gods would say. The divine did not normally interfere with the mortal for a number of reasons. Some would say it was to avoid coddling the mortal, to let them live their lives without a heavenly hand holding them down. Others would sayContinue reading “Interlude 3 – Downpour”
Chapter 25 – Disaster in the City of Thunder
Michael didn’t know much about naval affairs. They didn’t really care to know either. Boats were boats, ships were ships, the sea in the north was the Janea, the ocean in the west was the Lokalic, and they only really remembered that one because they’d actually gone to Lokaliva when that country existed. Who JaneaContinue reading “Chapter 25 – Disaster in the City of Thunder”
Chapter 24 – Restless Revelations
The banquet hall of the Akaboshi’s castle was far more bustling and busy than that of the Nakazono’s. Where that had one table set up for the lord and his guests to eat at, Lord Akaboshi had more of a feast hall going on, with the lord and his direct relatives–or at least the lord,Continue reading “Chapter 24 – Restless Revelations”
Chapter 23 – Demonic Developments
Michael didn’t know what to expect from getting arrested, mainly because they never thought they would ever get arrested. It was an odd experience, being a lawbreaker, though they preferred to think they were handling their situation better than typical mortal lawbreakers. At the moment, they were sitting in the local jail, though not behindContinue reading “Chapter 23 – Demonic Developments”
