《Re:Hammer - The Hammering》Chapter 33

Hungry.
That was the first thought when Emia opened her eyes. The second one was ow, but she fixed that with her faith and sat up. Dam thing didn't fix aches though, so her back was still stiff. Hell, everywhere was still stiff. Standing and glancing to the mirror, the memory of before was replaced with a memory of now. Sleek, elegant, and perfect, Emia's hair shone in the light. Her tanned skin was so smooth one could feel it just by looking. Her golden eyes pits to embrace the full eternity of her existance. Absently, she found herself missing the piercings she once had, for they would accent this figure of hers so beatufiully.
The Daemon that once was no longer directly interfered, but it was still part of her soul, so sometimes it reared up, to tease her into playing with herself. It was well fed those days, but she absently realized that wouldn't be coming anymore...Not that it was really a problem, she'd just deal with it later. Instead, she burned the dress from yesterday, she shook her head and flopped down onto the bed, crossing her legs and opening her status screen for the first time in months.
"Eighty five? When did....ohh, right. Field Medic" she muttered to herself. All the medical aid rendered the past couple of months, on top of all the work in the fields that tanned her skin in the first place..It all gave exp. And the Master had been such a friendly person that she had gained a natural twenty extra points in constitution. With ten extra levels, she had stats and talents to buy. Another thirty into Constitution to get that up to a hundred, and then she'd...hmmm....
She took a few moments to consider, then split fourty five into both dexterity and agility. She immediately felt the benefits of that, her body changing around her to allow for inhuman grace and speed. The two talents were spent on "Combat Doctor" and "Surgeon General" which were advancements of her Field Medic talent. With that work done, she'd flick to her inventory. Delightfully, there was the lost and found, where her leathers, the Bloodbane Rifle, and the twin revolvers were found. In no mood for fuckery, she sold the leathers for a massive chunk of cash, and opened the next box titled 'Blessings of Second Blood'

Though absolutely beautiful, the collar was immediately sold to the shop for a second massive chunk of cash. She wasn't ever going to be under another's thumb. Finally came the last box titled 'Blessings of Third Blood' revealing two items, called 'Regalia of Rivers'. The stats were amazing, and the quote at the top...well, kind of relevant really.
'Heaven is always found on the other side of Hell'. One has to go through Hell to reach Heaven. Spill a river of blood to attain Utopia. Given the blood motiff, it was fitting. And so too, was it fitting for her status as a Saint. Taking it out of the inventory and hanging it up, Emia admired the dress. The collar bit was immediately launched across the room, but the rest...the fabric was so soft, so pure. White and gold shining with power, while the faux-blood stains ominiously spoke a sinister threat to those who looked. She slid it all on, the boots tight and comforting against her legs, the gloves the same. It like your parents love all around you.
To get out of that dreery thought, she looked to the second of the two items. These were no less beautiful for being weapons. Blood red down one side, glistening gold down the other, the pair of revolvers - aptly named 'Faith' and 'Steel' - apparently used a special kind of gunpowder to propell the rounds at startling velocities. Sliding those two onto her hips, she nodded to herself in the mirror, and then turned for the door. Heels clicking across the ground, a gentle smile of confidence across her face...it was time to get back to work being the Saint of the Underhive. Many of her flock needed her benediction, after all. And she would not be found wanting for a single moment.

Core Defect
In the 264 years since the Great Singularity Wars, the world has been irrevocably changed. Technologies like nanobots and rogue artificial intelligences have caused the planet's wildlife to evolve in dangerous and powerful ways, pushing humanity to the verge of extinction. However, the remaining survivors are not without ways to fight back. Nanotech can enhance humans just as well as beasts, but perhaps most surprisingly, humanity has found an unexpected ally: a group of human-neutral AIs called Daemons. Val is a 22-year old woman striving to become a User: a nano-empowered human paired with a Daemon that serves as society's final and most powerful line of defense. When a critical issue in her nanosystem's core seemingly leaves her unable to serve as a User, she's given a difficult choice: give up on her dreams or accept a potentially unstable AI, Noir, as her Daemon partner. Val and Noir are stronger together than they are apart, but can they survive long enough to unlock their potential? Can they find a place among the other pairings like them, shunned by society but essential to civilization's survival? If Users are humanity's last line of defense, welcome to the sacrificial first line: the Defects. Updates are currently once a week, aiming for the weekend. Chapters usually 2k-3k in length.

I'm Sure It'll be Fine! ...right?
We live to die, and die to live again. This Cycle continues, neither to Begin nor End. Ever Beginning, never to End, we come to the story of our Unusual Friend. The Gods are as varied and unique as the mortals that worship them. Some are kind, others are fluffy, and (given the nature of the multiverse) a few are Eldrich Abominations of Unspeakable Horror. But that's fine, those few tend to mind their own business... At least until an Eldrich Abomination (an interdimensional cosmic slime-mold specifically) gets itself devoured by a Lich during a ritual to obtain Godhood... Especially because anyone, even a Lich, who's willing to eat an ENTIRE COSMIC SLIME-MOLD for any reason, even godhood, is undoubtedly a madman...who's now set his unsightly gaze upon replacing (likely by devouring) the Godess of Magic herself! She could probably use some help...if only to avoid touching the slimy Lichgod directly. Also, the Eldrich Gods are protesting these events in their usual manner...by trying to destroy all of Creation.
