Chapter 285
“...of the twelve heroes that died in the line of duty last night when…”
Luca barely heard the words on the television. He could see what was happening on the screen and the sound was still clearly on, but he couldn’t bring himself to react. He could only stare at the clips playing back of that fantastical glowing silvery helmet, black faceguard, and those two pink flames burning ...

This was a test. Jakarta was one of the first places in the world to see costumed heroes rise from the Flash. It went without saying that they were also one of the first to adopt the Pandora format of guilds and heroing. It was why the General had come out in person. He was the strongest voice in the island nation’s government that was in favor of heroes. By that very merit he had quickly ris...

She hadn’t noticed the heat of the fire even as close as she’d come when she was standing outside of the ring of stones. The moment she entered, though, it became very apparent. It was only thanks to her ring that she was able to ignore the heat, her internal body temperature normalizing as soon as the buffeting waves hit her. She could only imagine how much of a problem the flames would be...

“The latest wave of supervillain-led attacks in Southeast Asia has left the region reeling. Efforts are already underway to repair the severe damage to the electrical infrastructure in Vietnam following Kerauna’s vicious attack on the Fanispan dungeon. Eight heroes remain critically injured following the response with three fatalities,” the reporter, a sculpted looking man with dark hair ...

There were many preconceived notions that Blackrazor held onto despite or perhaps as a consequence of how his life had played out. Some things had changed after joining the Inner Circle of Ishtar. Others had remained very much the same. Among them was the perception that criminals, and by extension villains, outside of those at the peak of power were more likely than not to meet in the dark; hi...

Anna took a sip of water and rubbed her chin, squinting thoughtfully at the notification. The first piece of information to take from it all was that she didn’t just get abilities and power-ups from her class but just by leveling up. The second was that it seemed the level-up choice of abilities was based in some way on her own actions or experiences. Crush was obviously from her focus on usi...

The heavy sea breeze rushed past Sonya, sending her hair fluttering around her head as she stared out towards the distant lights. The shipping lanes of Indonesia were packed with vessels redirected by many organizations seeking safety in numbers. She stood alone at the center of the quad helipad atop the Idol of Venus, the many lenses within her improved eyes adjusting and refocusing a...

Anna returned to consciousness in a puddle of blood. Everything hurt and it felt like someone was standing on her chest. Her eyes fluttered briefly until her vision came back. Something stank to high heaven. She wrinkled her nose and looked down and met a single dull-orange eye staring back at her. The unflattering scream that ripped from her lungs only lasted for about a heartbeat before she r...

Sonya opened her eyes and took in a deep breath, savoring the scent of grass and fresh air. Wind blew across her face and she took in her surroundings. Her inner world was as vast and empty as it always was. Clouds rolled through the blue sky over her head. She let out a contented sigh and fell back onto the grass, smiling to herself. Here she could let go a little of the frustration from the n...

In the days since she’d sent a newly-minted mythic Amos off to the Backrooms, Sonya had kept herself busy. Planning multiple raids and schemes at the same time wasn’t a walk in the park. Even so, she had her Inner Circle to rely on to get things done. The Night Society was spread across the globe and making moves to clear the path for her while Kingshark’s army was causing its own trouble...

Anna kept her head on a swivel as the crushed token vanished from her hand. She took a glance at her inventory and found her reward sitting in the sixth slot. She furrowed her brows and plucked it out, the item falling into her hands. It was both unexpected and pretty much on the nose at the same time. A helmet that completely covered the face. The front appeared to be made from panels of the s...

Amos had experienced a lot of strange things since the flash. He had awakened his first ability and suffered through the head-trip of his mind expanding. Then his world became even more complicated as a particular local crime boss metaphorically put his boot on Amos’ neck. After that, Amos met Sonya for the first time and at first he really thought his life was over. Instead, she’d opened h...

Sonya stroked Levi’s fur as she sat on the couch and listened to the others about their experiences in the Epic dungeon. She’d been in a few herself back in her first go-around but it was always interesting hearing the details of the spaces above Rare. It brought her back, if she was being honest with herself. The higher-tier dungeons were one of the few places where she felt she shone back...

Sonya wandered down the hall with Carla next to her, their arms locked. She’d dismissed Qilin for the time being. There was no need to have her lurking around all the time and frankly it made her uncomfortable. It was becoming increasingly obvious that Qilin had some kind of fixation on her because of her dual identity. The last thing she wanted was for Qilin to see the person that the two of...

It took a few minutes to figure out how to refine the energy inside of the stones. She tried just using the item, hoping that maybe the system would finally give her a bit of assistance. That proved to be pointless. Concentrating super hard on the crystal didn’t accomplish anything either. So she tried the most obvious approach next. She started to attempt to refine energy inside her own body...

There were many things that Sonya’s body didn’t need to do anymore. Eating was more of a hobby these days as her bones were entirely metal and her muscles were basically supported by mana from her Heavenly Jade Heart. She still wasn’t entirely sure whether or not the ‘heart’ was metaphorical or not since she could still feel her own pulse. Staying hydrated was also not much of an issu...

Anna kept the glowing stone raised as she peered into the cavern beyond, squinting a little to try to pierce the overwhelming darkness. She didn’t see anything that had a presence so there was that at least, but she got the feeling this cave wasn’t empty either. She pursed her lips and took a few steps inside, following the sound of water as it grew noisier within the cave mouth. It’s...

Sonya shook Glint’s hand as the crowd roared. Despite the vicious battle just a day before, the stands were packed. It helped that many of those in observation were licensed heroes, of course. Glint was dressed in a suit rather than his hero gear. It looked good, but she made a mental note to fit him in something Lucci brand as soon as she had the opportunity. He was her sponsee now. Glint wa...
