Deity
noun
the creator and supreme being (in a monotheistic religion such as Christianity).
Bim felt golden fire within him. Two archons, one small and frail, the other twice as tall as any of his siblings and smiling the arrogant smile of a despotic sovereign, were assembled before him.
Bim strode forward, and spoke with a millionfold voice.
“You say that I created this world and abandoned it. That I abandoned my children, of all ages and temperaments, to the harshness of materiality.”
“Father? How--”
“You say I left. I did not. I am humanity, every soul, living and dead. I am the earth, the sky,the realm of spirit. I am all save the void, and I am incarnate. To deliveer unto you ultimate freedom, I unmade my own cohesion of thought in order that all that I am might become component parts and choose their own paths.
Cleary some have some gone… astray.”
“Father, I--”
“I am Bim-Esun, Incarnation of Humanity Entire. You are human, too child. All is me and not me. And I have awoken, in my cohesion, and speak thusly:
MAY ALL BE MADE ANEW.”
And the world, for the first time since its inception, got a software upgrade.

The Adventures of Rich Burton, Knight
This tale is an offshoot of my Misplaced Dungeon story. Rich Burton is Mary Silvestre’s agent on the heavily polluted world of Tarifax. The self styled New Gods had been entrusted with five worlds by three of the more adventurous minded Greater Gods. There had originally been five worlds, maybe not the most verdant or prosperous of worlds, but they had been perfectly adequate. Now only three remained and all three were suffering under the mismanagement of the New Gods. The Gods War, long prophesised had started on Parthia and the local single planet gods there had had some striking successes. Mary Silvestre one of the dungeons seeded by Azurea at the behest of the New Gods had Allied with Ocidon the local god of the seas and managed to ascend to demi-godhood. Now she has managed to gain access to Tarifax and they are in the process of expanding their power over other worlds. And the Gods War has come to Tarifax with them. Rich Burton, knight of the consort is Mary’s agent on Tarifax. She has given him a body both strong and hard to damage, skills equipment and money. Lots of money.
8 167Memoirs of the Broken
Book 1.5 of The World Shift series. This is not a tale of Heroes and Villains. This is not a story of love and hate. This will not give you hope. These are the memoirs of the broken, someone who denies his humanity. Delve deep into what mercy really means, and follow him as his faults are fixed. This is a parallel story, that runs alongside my other novel: Rejection. But is written very differently.

A deathworld version of the Naruto setting, a team of missing-nin fleeing from Mist into Fire, and one disaster after another. What could possibly go right? MfD is a quest that has been running on SufficientVelocity since 2015. Velorien and I co-author it and he has agreed to let me re-post his chapters here.

8 68Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia
Book one now available on Kindle. The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.
