“Liam! Are you okay?” Rieka’s voice was filled with worry and fear as she wrapped her arms around me before she immediately began inspecting my body for injuries. Despite hitting me at speed from an unexpected angle, the slight woman didn’t really have the mass to knock me over. Thankfully, I recognized my ‘assailant’ before I reacted instinctively to defend myself.
“I’m f...

The door let out a loud squeal when I tugged on one. Because of the deformation from the dent, the door no longer swung cleanly in the jamb. It only made it about six inches before sticking with a thunk.
Glancing over my shoulder to check on the girls, I caught Rieka’s nod of encouragement while Kassandra gave me a thumbs up. Both girls had their spell rods drawn and held at th...

It turned out that the girls were right. When I selected ‘yes’ to absorb the crystals, the System message cleared up and displayed another message directing me to place the crystals in my mouth.
As soon as the first one touched my tongue it dissolved like cotton candy, but left no flavor behind. There was only a fizzing sensation that quickly faded as another message flared into being...

Entering the room that appeared to be an ancient version of a surgical or dissection suite set all the hairs on my body doing a jig at the eerie feeling in the air.
I lead the way, with the girls following close behind me. The door was barred from the side of the observation room with a spinning wheel that threw a bar inside the door. It protested loudly at being used, with a scraping of ...

“Not that I’m complaining, but doesn’t it feel odd to you two to be cuddling in a place we have confirmed has dangerous threats in it?”
I hadn’t wanted to ruin the affectionate moment that the girls and I had been sharing. But, as the minutes dragged by and neither girl really wanted to separate from me, it was something that needed to be said.
“Nope.” Kassandra’s re...

“Stop!” I shouted towards the girls, hoping to keep them back so I could retreat if my shifted arm proved unable to damage the statues. Meanwhile, I adjusted to menace the statues with the shifted limb and ensure that I was directly between the two statues and the girls. I took up a familiar fencing stance presenting my right side to maximize the range of my shifted limb.
The two stat...

Thankfully for our continued survival, the girls snapped out of their surprise quickly. The war-golem had barely managed its lopsided charge for more than ten feet before it was hit with their spells. They correctly identified the stone beast as the most immediate threat.
“Bolt Chain!” The flickering chain built of lightning flicked through the air to latch onto the war-golem between ...

Securing the little room didn’t take long with only the one door to block.
We’d spent part of the day walking in the tunnel, so I estimated it to be around noon on Monday still or just a little bit after. Not enough time had passed in order for us to really need to sleep. So instead, we focused more on just catching our breath after the tense moment in the tunnel.
Kassandra made...

“I just don’t understand how this is here. The tracks are rusted over, but this wall seems in perfect condition,” Kassandra mumbled while studying the monolithic wall of iron. We’d been studying the barrier for a while now and hadn’t gleaned how it operated yet. While the iron was a dull gray in color, it showed none of the rust that caked the rails or other metallic objects in the tu...

We stood watch at the cave entrance to make sure the creatures didn’t come back.
Kassandra alternated between studying the dead creatures and carving into several stones more of the runes to create light. The light had proved to be a more effective barrier than the wards were, and once we had a half dozen of the glowing rocks set around the cave mouth, we could finally relax.
We d...

The girls spent a bit more time fishing around inside the damaged engine, extracting a few more of the earth-oriented mana crystals. After about ten minutes, I reminded them that it was getting late and we should head back up to the camp soon.
Before the girls agreed to head back, Kassandra and Rieka stated that we should scout the tunnel for a distance, to see if we could find out where ...

While it wasn’t something any of us really wanted to do, I still checked inside the ruined cars for any signs of who or what might have been here.
Though any bodies had long rotted away, there were still distinct stains and patterns on the metal that led me to believe that there had been corpses here in the distant past. That and a few bits of evidence, like a badly corroded circle of g...

Let me tell you, Shape-Shifting has been one of the cooler things I’ve gotten to experience since getting dragged to the world of Cortha.
Being able to do things like see at night, hear like a bat, and change my body to fit a task at need has been awesome. I was really looking forward to the day that I was able to do full-body shiftts and learn to fly. The best thi...

While neither Rieka nor I were surprised at Kassandra’s revelation, it was the reason we were here after all, the blunt statement occupied our thoughts throughout the hike back to camp.
Kassandra had set the password to get past the wards as my last name once more, something she was sure was a secret to the locals save for the two of them. We collected the pots from the camp before doub...

Arriving at the ridge overlooking the lake, the three of us talked it over and decided to use the same site as we had the last time we were here. While our primary goal here was to inspect the ruins and the damaged fountain/spring, we also didn’t want to camp right on top of either and risk damaging something accidentally.
Kassandra had taken the time between then and now to design bett...

Hey everyone, just letting you all know here that I'm swapping the title of Summoned by a Sorority around to "Summoned by Monster Girls" to more accurately portray the series. It was brought to my attention that using 'sorority' in the title had more...smutty connotations than I realized and might be preventing folks from checking it out. I'll be transitioning to the new title scheme here in Pa...

We spent around an hour talking before Rieka made her farewells and escaped once more. Kassandra had spent most of the hour either teasing her friend or doing what she could to press us closer together. The entire time, she also continued to keep me at attention underneath her firm butt.
As soon as Rieka had made her escape, though, Kassandra had proceeded to pick up where we’d been bef...

Settling onto my couch with a sigh, I groaned at how stiff my shoulders and back felt. Cerebaton hadn’t been kidding about needing to get my body used to strange shifts.
“Would have been nice if he’d warned me a bit more…specifically?” I grumbled while kneading the irate muscles.
We had spent the rest of the evening drilling with the bladed tail/arm to get used to it. He...

“That was an ill-advised choice to make,” Cerebaton rumbled as our practice weapons clashed in the shadows of the gazebo. It was late, but neither of the daemons with me had issues seeing at night. Neither did I, since I’d already shifted my eye to gain a cat's night-vision.
“I know. I just couldn’t take it anymore,” I countered, skipping backwards to gain space on the big man...

Confronted with the stark and boring reality that was my apartment, it was hard to motivate myself to do anything worthwhile. So instead I just slumped onto the couch in yet another set of tattered clothing.

I barely managed to finish the thought concerning my, once again, missing-in-action eyebrows when Rieka forcefully dragged my mind back to current issues.

“What? Why are you sorry, Rieka?” I turned to look down at the kin woman who was clinging to my side as tightly as Kassandra was and doing a passable limpet impression as well. She refused to look up...

It only took a couple of minutes for Rieka and I to take turns rotating back to the tent to get changed into actual clothes. We made sure to keep watch over the body, just in case the mountain lynx was playing possum and might make a break for it. Honestly, by the time that Rieka came back to relieve me, I was positive that it was dead. Animals aren’t clever enough to try and hold their breat...

We continued to search the hillside for another two hours. While we found plenty of signs of the mountain lynx in passing, we didn’t spot the creature.
I continued to use the improved eyesight and hearing from my earlier shifts to try and find any evidence or spot the creature. However, it appeared that there were no animals in the area, save for the herd up the hill and the occasional ...

The area that we ended up camping in was on the edge of a small meadow. The trees there were predominantly oaks, with a few stands of pine and sections of white birch. The stream that we had followed wound through the far edge of the meadow; the black stones of the stream bed left a very distinctive line through the field. The waist-high grass of the meadow took some tramping down to clear enou...
