Chapter 26
"Where did you hear that name?" uncle
"Lucy’s racial statistics, you know the update that just occurred, said she was a half lich" jack
"I knew something was special about her from the start, but I couldn't tell what" uncle
"So, tell me what a half lich is" jack
"You know what the difference between a ghoul and a skeleton is, right?" uncle
"Yes, a skeleton is physically strong and has infinite stamina but isn't very intelligent and a ghoul is much more intelligent and some can even use magic, which is extremely rare for undead, but are physically weaker and don't have the infinite stamina that skeletons have." jack
"Very good, the difference between a half-lich and a lich is very similar. liche's have extraordinary strength and boundless stamina and are much more intelligent than ghouls, most can use magic although it is very weak, except for necromancy, most liches are good at necromancy. Of course that is mostly due the fact that most liches were originally necromancers. A half lich on the other hand is extremely intelligent with powerful magic, exceeding the vast majority of other races, but they fall behind in terms of physical strength and stamina, although their stamina is much higher than any humans." uncle
"So why are they all gone, and how do you know this if they are extinct." jack
"They are extinct because of the church, they were one of the first to be destroyed during their rise to power about a thousand years ago. As for how I know about them, a dragon told me" uncle
I notice that the sun was shining through the window, which means any minute now...
"Jack!" ???
A small girl at around 4'7" jumps from off the stairs on the other side of the room and gives me, or rather my face, a hug.

"Ok, ok I get it, your happy to see me aunty. Now let me breath." jack
"No, this is your punishment for leaving me alone for so long." aunty
It is hard to believe that this small little girl, or loli as it is often called, specializes in great axes. I mean huge pole arm length great axes, which weigh hundreds of pounds.
"Wasn’t the really unimaginative test you put me through punishment enough?" jack
"Silly, that wasn't punishment for you, that was punishment for the two guys guarding you for constantly hitting on Johanna and I." aunty
"Figures" jack
"Johanna!" aunty
At that moment Johanna was coming down stairs followed by an exhausted wolf that looked extremely happy. Aunty kicked off of my face, which hurt quite a bit, and jumped across the room over to the stairs where Johanna was standing, only to be smacked aside by the much faster Johanna.
"Please try to control yourself aunty" Johanna
"Based on ghosts condition I can safely assume that the poison wore off hours ago for both of you and were having some private fun time." jack
"Yes! Lucy even joined us after an hour, master" ghost
"Then where is she right now?" jack
"Getting everyone else up" Johanna
"Can you make some of your amazing pancakes for breakfast?" aunty
"Of course" jack
I walk into the kitchen followed by uncle.
"It's amazing how much she changes between night and day." uncle
"My room is right next to yours, I know how big that change is" jack
At this he give a huge grin.
We spent about 5 minute making the batter, with uncle gathering the materials and me mixing it. After that I heated up the grill and cooked the batter. after the batter was all cooked and put on a plate I go into the dinning room.

"Look who's up early." Selena
"I haven’t slept" jack
"Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes! Pancakes!" aunty
"Alright here you go" uncle
As uncle hands a plate with pancakes on it to her, I hand out some to the rest of them.
"Delicious!" sally
"You can say that again." Jacobe
"Delicious!" sally
"I didn't mean that literally" Jacobe
"So, where's your aunt?" Joe
"I'm right here silly" aunty
Everyone, except Johanna, ghost, and I, were staring at her slack jawed.
"Her sent makes it obvious who she is." ghost
"You, you’re a demon wolf right?" aunty
"Technically greater wolf demon" jack
"Right, and you are a greater Shadowling, and Johanna is a greater wind sprite" aunty
"Correct" Johanna
"And you are a lich? No something’s off, but I can't put my finger on it" aunty
"She's a half lich" jack
"What’s a half lich?" aunty
"Ask your husband" jack
At this point Lucy dropped her pancake-laden fork onto her plate.
"Did you say half lich?" Lucy
"Yeah, so?" jack
"I haven't been a half lich in 5 incarnations, I thought they were extinct" Lucy
"They were, until you" jack
After a couple minutes of the silent consumption of pancakes sally asks a question.
"So how did you two meet?" Sally
"I was visiting an old friend, her older brother, when she snuck into my bed and proceded to rape me." uncle
At this everyone was either staring at uncle or aunty, except Johanna, ghost, and I of course.
"I don't see what the big deal is, animals rape each other all the time." ghost
"And you married her?" Selena
"Well incubi and sucubi have a tradition where we marry someone that can outlast us in sex, unless that person is a succubus or incubus respectively, which she did, by a long shot. I woke up in the morning and she was still riding me" uncle
"You’re emberacing me!" aunty
"What’s the difference between a succubus and an incubus, you know other than gender." Joe
"Why" Johanna
"Well, you all talk about them like they are two different species" Joe
"Well, there is no Difference between a succubus and an incubus, besides their gender, including the fact that the only creatures that they can’t breed with are succubi or incubi respectively" jack
"And here I thought that you knew next to nothing about anything other than fighting and cooking." Johanna
"Hey, rude. Besides I’ve had some experience with succubi" jack
"Boy, do I know it" Johanna
"If I Remember correctly, You've had some experience with succubi as well" jack
"Hey, that’s..." Johanna
"Don’t try to deny it, everyone here knows your bi by now" jack
At this everyone was nodding.
"Johanna!!!" Jacobe
When Jacobe makes a poorly done impersonation of ghost everyone giggles, except Johanna.
"Police, open up!" police officer? at the front door.

Activation
Will was a normal guy in his mid twenties, living in small town America. He was relatively aimless. Then he got struck by lightning. Waking up reminded him why falling asleep in strange places had stopped being a pleasant adventure for the next day, years before. Then, the crazy started. Life would never be the same, but he wasn't aimless anymore. Plus, you know, super powers are cool. Warning: There will be swearing and casual conversation about subjects that might have some people clutching their pearls. There will be dirty jokes. There will not be graphic depictions of sexual activity, or harem shenanigans, as I'm making my mother read this. That would be very uncomfortable.
