《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 30: It Just Can't Be Easy
Advertisement
After the prep, I broke into prison and made my way to the designated location. It turned out to be Lust’s cell. On the wall is a full body restraint that is bolted to the wall. It appears that he wouldn’t even be able to move a finger with those restraints. As per the plan, I proceeded to remove a false brick and pull out a dense metal box. When I lifted it up it felt very heavy. I then escaped the prison with no issue.
With the completion of the mission Jason proceeded to drive us away. We are on a mountain side road when the car shakes furiously and we go off the road. Thankfully we landed on some trees that held us up in midair.
“Ash, get out of the car and brace for battle!”
I placed my goggles on and scaled the tree down to the ground. What greeted us is a dead-eye teen. He is on the slender side with long hair that covers his face. Then without warning he dashes at Jason. Jason proceeds to perform a sidestep and swept his legs from under him. Jason then threw a punch at the guy's head but he slipt into the ground and came up behind me. I jumped to the side at which Jason threw a round object which electrified the air.
With the assailant immobilized I set my goggles to infrared and scanned the area. I saw five people. Then I heard a gunshot, and turned to see Jason with a handgun and the assailant with a hole in the head.
“We have to hurry. We are going to a cave nearby during which you will contact HQ and I will keep tabs on the others.”
With that we run.

Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier. It turns out, life isn’t that simple. For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked for centuries to ensure the land stays at peace. As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps. Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace. Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing. When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them. And there’s more at play in their ‘peaceful’ world than they’d thought. Cover art by Rin! Check out her work!

A Chimerical Hope
The dream we share is simple: no traitors, no masters, only bugs united. Lucidity is a dreamer's sacrifice to reality, and our sacrifice is the vesperbane. A vile transformation through bat blood and black nerve, the vespertine arts grant a mantis power and control beyond this world. Only vesperbanes can give our grand dreams breath — but all vesperbanes are shadowed by an incorrigible potential to instead become oppressors and defectors. Three nymphs will undergo this metamorphosis, yet each holds another dream in their hearts: a scholar who must learn the secrets of the mind to bring the dead back to life; a servant who must atone for lives taken and find a cause unquestionable; and a rebel who must kill an angel and avenge a destroyed home. In this world, the mightiest wield the power to crush cities or spawn monstrous armies — here, there's always someone above you, and it's a long, arduous climb higher. But true power is wielded by those with the cunning and the connections to direct the mighty. In every shadow a conspiracy dwells, and these nymphs already have killers hounding them, spiders weaving webs around them. Anyone can climb to the top, anyone can tangle in these conspiracies — but what would you sacrifice along the way?
