“Just to make sure everyone is on the same page, we’re doing this just for fun, Mr. Stein is not saving the video he’s streaming to the TV over there anywhere, we’re doing it like that so we can watch without being inside my training space,” Isaac explained while Stein worked was putting together a drone that could transmit out of the pocket space.
Suddenly, Mac Liam had an old-...

Isaac heard someone say in the distance. He agreed. Cats were cute, cats were adorable, cats were good pets. But cats also had a bottomless capacity for assholery, virtually unmatched by anything else in the animal kingdom. Boosting one up to the point where it could be used as a guard … bad idea. Really bad i...

It was perhaps the one place on planet Earth where he didn’t have to suppress his sense of smell.
The team’s favorite restaurant was located right on campus with them, and the cook absolutely loved using the monster materials they brought her.
She was also an artist, who used he...
2023-10-21 20:44:32 +0000 UTC View Post“Welcome to Combat [Skills] 101,” Isaac announced, standing in front of a lecture hall’s blackboard for the first time ever.
Behind him, a kabar with a crayon duct-taped to its end drew on the blackboard under his telekinetic control.
In theory, any and all university faculties had to put in a certain number of teaching hours, as had staff of a certain academic rank.<...

The issue of creating a proper portal when the distance between endpoints was constantly shifting hadn’t been solved yet, so they’d sidestepped it entirely. Instead, they created a stable portal back on terra firma, i...
2023-10-14 20:20:35 +0000 UTC View Post“Ugh, that sucked.” Isaac collapsed into a couch in the Hunter’s Guild’s lobby “If I ever decide to train a thousand people at the same time, please throw me into the sun.”
“Was it really that bad?” Amy asked.
“If I fight alongside people with a similar ideology, they’ll slowly gain weaker versions of my teacheable [Skills], which can eventually upgrade to the fu...
2023-10-13 19:59:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe soft touch was where Isaac was seriously lacking. Anything that required a measured response left him crippled.
Chasing an enemy through the air would have been a piece of cake. Reduce his mass to functionally zero, use pyromancy to accelerate, done.
Problem was, he could hardly start spewing flames in the middle of downtown Seoul just to prevent Amy from from telling the rest o...

2023-10-02 16:16:48 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, the link to the Apocalypse Redux Discord is once again buried somewhere amidst the chapters on Royal Road, so I figured I'd post it here as well.
On Discord, there's several discussion channels, one for roleplaying, as well as one where you can ask me any questions about the story you have.
