Chapter 345: Impending
A ring disintegrated from Calikgos’ finger when he reappeared in the graveyard of the Monastery of the Stars, up the mountain away from Rene and staring down at the swarming Mosmir.He grimaced, opening his chat to see several new angry messages from Mike, insulting his incompetence.“Get back in there and kill them,...
Chapter 344: Suzy
Several Months Earlier…Aegis, Yuki, Savika, and Celestian wandered the lower ruined tunnels of the Darxon hideout beneath Rene. Aegis took the lead, peering through doorways only to find caved-in room after caved-in room, until finally spotting one still intact.There was nothing special about it; most of the stonewor...
Chapter 343: Sacrifice
Tommy was pacing inside the central studio of the Fanta-See network, numerous screens on the wall in front of him, and several workers at keyboards, staring up at Aegis’ broadcast alongside him instead of working.The implant in his ear was lit up due to his connected call with Shinji and Hae-won, but Hae-won had him ...
Chapter 342: No Right
“Which Airships are those in Rene?”Calikgos eyed the message and scanned the surrounding fleet. He was back on the deck of Sages of Destiny’s flagship beside Lilya. The bombardment had stopped, and Kordas had been reduced to a blazing pile of rubble. A tidal wave of black mist was encroaching on the fleet from a ...
Chapter 341: Bait and Switch
The thick green smog made it difficult to see his own hands, only visible thanks to the glowing bless spell outlining them with a flare of white magical energy. He held his breath for as long as he could, navigating the halls from memory, though he’d only visited the palace once since Savika had been elected Queen.On...
Chapter 340: Ruin
Calikgos stood beside Lilya aboard the Sages of Destiny’s flagship, looking down at the destruction in the distance. They’d already parted from Kalmoore Airspace, hovering high above the black mist of the abyss as the island's edges submerged.The nearby ships were filled with celebratory cheers of victory, but ...
Chapter 339: Ire
The more Eli watched, the worse it got. His livestream viewer hung in his peripheral vision as he rode the bus back toward his dormitory. He had to push his way through the crowds of other students, some laughing and taunting him while others apologizing to him. Many were even sobbing.The shouts, jeers, and whimpers ra...
Chapter 338: Fence Sitting
The experience was fast, but it came in bursts. With a combination of Aegis’ Virabhadra spam and Emerill’s repeated casting of his own assassin cooldowns, they were able to take down their first void hydra raid boss as a party of two after 33 hours of fighting.Aegis had roughly kept track of the damage they’d dea...
Chapter 337: The Plan
It was only an hour before Eli had received several messages informing him that he’d been unbanned. A proper explanation came from Tommy.Mike had banned the group using vague clauses in the ‘suspicious activity’ section of the ToS, citing the conversation between Aegis and Rakkan involving his former employee, Ry...
Chapter 336: Fan Mail
Eli blinked at the holographic display hovering in front of him, hung on the underside of his sim-box’s lid. The option for the Shattered World Online greyed itself out. It moved to the bottom of the list of available simulations, with Office Simulation 2090 taking its place at the top, autoselecting itself and waiti...
Chapter 335: Reunion
Level Up!: Unarmed Combat has reached Level 53!Level Up!: Shield Mastery has reached Level 176!Level Up!: Leather Armor Proficiency has reached Level 176!Aegis was panting heavily, sweat dripping from every orifice. “No experience bonus for combat skills sucks,” he dragged the S with a groan.The three-headed void h...
Chapter 334: Faith, Faithless, Unfaithful
Ryan had a hard time focusing at work and spent more time out of his sim-box than in, making up excuses to do so, such as delivering reports to the opposite end of the building. After he’d been sent from Nicholas’ office, he saw Mike get called in, and a few minutes later, watched him storm out. That was yesterday....
Chapter 333: Pent Up
Even with his stream turned off, word got around fast that Aegis was back in Rene. Darkshot, Trexon, Amlie, and Rakkan arrived as a group through a portal at the altar, catching Aegis on his way back to the Keep with Lina.“Did ya see our prelims? We knocked it outta the park!” Darkshot cheered, his viewership count...
Chapter 332: Vulnerability
Ryan worked in cybersecurity from his sim-box at Averon Headquarters, where all Shattered World Online operations took place. It was mundane work, monitoring for any irregularities in connections and player behaviour. Anything that the Samantha AI flagged, he was assigned to investigate.It was, for the most part, only ...

Book 2 Done, Book 4 lives!
It's off to the editors, finally—280,000 words of juicy Aegis action.I have written the following two Chapters of Book 4 and will continue writing.

Chapter 330: Reconstruction
sorry for the delay, and I still owe 3, working to catch up (everytime I get close, something pops up and puts me behind again)------------------------------------------------Aegis pulled a torch from his inventory and wandered through the ruined village, using his other hand to hold the tablet with the ancient image o...
Chapter 329: The Last One
Note: It occurred to me while editing this chapter that I have not shown Aegis' character sheet at all for book 3, and I had to work with adequately editing it up from Book two using my notes on the progression of his skills. It took a while but was much needed. I'll push to get another chapter out asap (it'...
Chapter 328: Still Here
note:This, and the next few chapters were written on my laptop using a different writing software, and it did funny things with the text. I'll edit it to get it normal, but the next few chapters are finally completed. Tomorrow will be a multi-release, and I'll go back to edit this chapter to fix all the weird s...
Chapter 327: New Tech
Author note:I am still working on the others. These chapters are extremely slow for me to write due to their content. I still owe you guys three chapters and will work to get them out today and this next week. --------------------------------The 75-minute real-time lecture panned out as 5 hours of learning inside the 4...
Chapter 326: First Day
Eli’s morning rendevous with Selena in the Shattered World went on until his ear implant buzzed him out of the game world with a morning alarm. He silently climbed out of his sim-box and went to his shared bathroom without waking up his roommate, going through his morning routine.Showered, shaved, brushed, and dresse...
Chapter 325: Forward
A loud beeping alarm rang through Eli’s ear implant, jolting him awake from his slumber. The implant blinked red until he tapped it into silence and swung his legs over the side of his bed, momentarily dazed. No sunlight shone through his dormitory window, and glancing across the room to his roommate showed him sound...
Chapter 324: New Paths
Author Note: I will be taking a break tomorrow, so there will be no release. Book 4(Technically 7 as I need to split the books for publishing) will begin next weekend!--------------------------------------------------Amlie rushed around her fields while Aegis, the Night Hunters, and many others gathered in front of the...
Chapter 323: Lost Message
Yumily’s Airship rose to meet the island of Kalmoore and sailed over its green fields. The fleet of Airships manned by Kalmoorians parted in the middle to allow their passage, turned, and followed behind them in two rows of 5.Aegis and Lina, holding hands and leaning over the railing at the front of the deck, peered ...
Chapter 322: Breaking News
lil bit unedited, 323 2morrow <3 happy weekendin!--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sweat dripped off of Eli’s body, drenching his tank top. He struggled to finish a set of pullups and pushups in his room, his muscles having lost a bit of tone over the last months due to h...
Chapter 321: Apology
Author note:For now, the version of the story I'm going to go with and keep canon is the second version with Makaroth retiring. It's much easier for me to write, requires much less suspension of disbelief, and will lend itself to a more lighthearted, fun story that has been the central theme thus far with a few...
Ch. 319 and 320 Rewrite
Today, I'm going to do something a bit different. Due to feedback and some consideration, I am not necessarily happy with my choices for the story in these last two chapters. They are setting up the 4th book in the series, but they're taking it in a drastically different direction than what the story has been a...
