Although I heavily dramatize the effects of addiction withdrawal and recovery, do know it is close to impossible to overcome by yourself. Watch a TED Talk by Johann Hari about addiction, and how it’s created by isolation and depression.
Miko’s eyes gleamed as she toyed with a partially dismantled armor. It was laid out on a metal workbench, which was littered with parts and plates of armor, as well as all sorts of tools and gadgets. The armor itself didn’t look too complex. It was covered in a number of scales, some larger, some s
“I believe I’ve increased input detection speed by roughly 8 percent,” she said. “This has also increased output scaling up to 75 percent, from 66.6. I have also introduced a redundancy to the overload circuit for extra protection. But that was a happy accident.” Szereth looked at the device in awe
Daylight spilled across Lacroseth City as Taloren’s sun crested over the horizon. Life all over the city began to stir and wake up for their day. A flock of vicious Avicii Raptors took to the skies inside the dome, and circled around in search of prey. As a wing of them flew around, they spotted so
“Damn, well, I’m honored! How’d you even find me in here anyway?” Alevos pointed back behind him with a thumb. “Ah, I asked the guards about you, and they mentioned something along the lines of ‘that madwoman is only ever at the sparring rings’.” “Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” Alevos sim
Alevos laughed heartily in response, and his belly jiggled to match. “Well, you’re still getting two,” he said. “Tell me, it’s not too heavy is it? I tried to rebalance it as best I could, but it's got more tungsten, carbon, and onmitronium in the formula. I tweaked it for absolute toughness, to be
Team Ra’ventrii descended down below the dome via special tubular highways that connected the city’s Upper Dome to its Lower Dome. The truth was, every single dome on the planet was actually only half visible. Half of it floated above the surface, while the other half was constantly submerged. This
The stairs went down for a number of meters, and as they did so, the sounds of Drogar talking grew louder and louder. Eventually, they came to a large room where a number of Drogar stood around in little groups and chatted among each other. It was as though they were waiting for something. Perhaps
“Okay. Seed high, be dramatic, get attention. Anything else I should keep in mind?” “Yeah, activate your helmet.” “The power armor won’t turn on until I do, right?” “All power armors in the Pit are required to work like that.” Eva nodded in understanding before she scanned the room for potential

The hab itself was sparsely decorated and seemed barely lived-in. There was a small pile of personal things in bags and boxes in a corner of the large living room, which appeared to be the effects of the small family that had moved in. It seemed that they had just taken possession of the hab itself
The pup came to a small group of human and drogar children, who much like his own brethren were running around and playing with each other. They laughed and giggled as they chased each other gaily through the park. Unlike his brothers and sisters however, the pup found some excitement and enjoyment
This chapter occurs in the middle of Arc 8, between chapters 330 and 331. I meant to write it back then, but completely forgot. Whoops! Here it is now, as a bonus. Please enjoy! ~@~ It was within Central Park on the Unnamed Cruiser of the Corvus Republic that the shapeshifting wolves made their ho
Kali shivered slightly as she recalled that moment in time. Her body hunched over slightly as she grasped and embraced herself in an attempt to comfort the way she felt. More than that, her voice started to crack and waver as she spoke. “Everytime I looked at him, at anyone I tried to ‘be’ with, a
“Hey, you doing okay?” Amal asked her quietly. “You look like you could use some company.” She climbed up on the outcropping where Kali was, and set herself down next to her with a warm smile painted on her face. “Yeah, I guess,” Kali replied. “Just going through some stuff, nothing too bad.” “Fe

Her heart practically leapt out of her chest as she ran towards Lucifer. The sight of hir caused tears to well up in her eyes. They practically came streaming out by the time she reached hir pod. She placed her hands on the clear canopy as the desire to sweep Lucifer up in her arms overtook her. Fr
“Wonder how many people in the galaxy have three ultra rares,” she muttered to herself. “Something tells me it’s just me, at least for now.” There is also a high priority note from Raijin, her DI noted. Would you like to review it? Freya nodded. — Dearest friend, Welcome back to the land of the
