Another chapter in this story has arrived, praise the Omnissiah. I am sorry that I have been gone for a bit I have been busy with life and stuff, but I hope to get to finish we're volume 1 and season 1 end. (If you wish for a more in-depth reason head to the bottom after reading the chapter. Anyway now we shall begin the necessary rituals to answers of your questions for the machine god.
Notsae: I hate to be this guy but Nurgle is the god of plagues and stoic emotions (I.E inevitability, happiness, struggle, tradition, mercy, and memory). While Tzeentch looks to the future and the change that comes with it, Nurgle looks to the past and tries to keep the status quo. Hope is more something that is looking forward to a brighter tomorrow the exact opposite of Nurgle like you said he is the closest thing to a god of despair. Nurgles view point is if the universe is so shitty then there is no reason to change it and no way to change it so just be happy in the fact and stop worrying about it. Also yes it would be stupidly easy for him to just crown himself king of Emperor of Earth or something like that but he doesn't want too, I will elaborate further on this viewpoint in later chapters.
Duked: While I agree with you that Issei should get Irina (And Akeno kinda still on the fence on that one), Issei getting with Rias in this story will make no sense. I would elaborate further but I think you and everyone else can understand what I mean.
DahakStaz: Thank you I try to improve myself with each chapter but mistakes are bound to happen after all I'm only human (Or am I). Oh, and I give you this it won't be the marines who kick the ass of the first devil he fights. And hold you horse man you're thinking extremely big already ya got to give stuff like this time. I mean first he has to get to Mars and have a forward base their so they can mine and manufacture in peace, for now, he's just got to make sure Dorn and his sons steal any more automobiles for scrap metal and spare parts.
LordGhostStriker: I don't know I'm just the writer.
Mad God 42: Danks ya git, an' like I said 'der iz always gonna be stupid 'umie errors.
Nero Angelo Sparda: Thank you for going in depth with your review and I appreciate the compliment. You're on the right track with the orb but it ain't Big E I'll tell you that much. And yes the Cult is gonna be a problem for somebody in the future I'll give you that. Ya, I tried to make Dorn's reaction as close as I could to what I think he would act it's just a bit hard since I have read very little involving the primarchs and what I have read helps only a little so I have to fill in the blanks as best I can. And speaking of primarchs I will say this the next one I bring in will be a loyalist after that it will be a traitor. And I will say this that all birds fly back to the nest. And yes Chaos is probably up to something, I mean it's chaos when is it not.
Slim A Lou Prime: Funny but very few meme characters here, after all this is a christian story (Sorry couldn't help myself with that one).
rc48177: Sorry but no Warhammer fantasy gods here or any other franchise besides 40K.
atchoum35: Thank you and you'll have to wait and see what I do I don't like to spoil stuff, I find that the revel is better with a wait. And slow down a bit I still haven't got that far, But I will leave you with this. The yokai will not be showing up for a while.
shadow: Thank you for the criticism but until that gets too much to bare I will keep the amount I wish for the harem. Besides, it won't be a ludicrous amount (Yes it will). And I am glad you are first to guess who that was, I thank you. And we will get a lot of that stuff at the end in due time.
Demon-255: Well you're in luck here is the next update.
Guest 1: What else is gonna happen besides that (Besides infighting) and no on the last one, Luke just isn't into maids.
Guest 2: No characters from other franchises in this story sorry.
Guest 3: I have now updated...feel free to prasie me later. :)

Chapter 8: A Storm's a Comin
After last nights fiasco and mild breakdown I went up to bed to try and gain some shut eye. I wake up from my sleep and try and get up. Key world their being try as I find a strange weight on my left arm. I look down to see Asia hanging off my arm wearing a light blue nightgown. I began to shake her gently off my arm but to no avail.
"hraarhh Just five more minutes," Asia says sleepily.
"While as adorable as this is Asia, it's time to get up," I say as I shake Asia a bit rougher. After that Asia began to wake up and stretches and yawns. "Not that I'm against having a cute girl in my bed but why were you sleeping next to me?" I ask her.
She blushes and wakes up fully, at my comment. "I was told by Rogal to keep a close eye on you after you rescued me and he said that I needed to be by your side at all times, so I just thought…" she says as she trails off and blushes.
Mhhm eager to please this one ayy creator, spoke Slaanesh in my head.
Don't even think about it Slaanesh, she is off limits from anything related to you, I say as the last thing I want is Slaanesh to have had a chat with Asia. I do not want this pure cherub to turn into some nymphomaniac dominatrix.
"It's fine Asia, hell I should have offered you the bed and just moved myself to the couch instead," I say as I get up and begin to wake down to the kitchen.
"Oh no please you don't have to do that please," She says as she follows after me.
As we make it down to the kitchen, we see Rogal in some of his new attire reading or at least I assume reading the newspaper. "Good morning father and good morning to you too lady Asia," he said.
"Good morning to you as well Rogal and please you can just call me Asia," Asia spoke.
"Umm Rogal not that I mind but can you actually read that newspaper?" I question my son as to my knowledge the only thing he could read is latin as that is what low and high gothic is in 40k and possibly what ever written language was on his home planet (Fun Fact: during my little reserch quest I can conclude that Rogal probably knows how to write and speak in Latin and German as his legion has similarities to Junkers a class of nobility in Prussia, bit of a stretch I know but it makes some sense as the primarch legions matched their personalities before hand and I would assume they give some hints as to what their homeworlds would speak if the world didn't already have information on its culture and there for a hint to a language.)
"While this language is strange father I have had practice with similar languages, it reminds my of a bit of Jaghatai's homeworlds writing he would bring to our meetings," spoke Rogal.
Huh gotta admit I'm impressed, I think as I never thought someone would ever figure out a language just by reading it.
"As well I found this translation parchment that was quite helpful," Rogal said as he holds up an English to Japanese dictionary.
Never mind I stand corrected, I thought as I mentally facepalm. I walk over and begin to make some breakfast of waffles. "So what's in the news today?" I ask.
"Apparently the cultist we exterminated are being registered as just religious zealots that all died in some mass ritualist suicide," Spoke Rogal as he grabbed a mug of coffee custom made for his size.
Wait where the hell did he get that? I think.
"Also there appears to be an opening for contractors in the local area," He says as he takes a sip.
"What looking to show people how real construction is done?" I ask as I imagine Rogal holding a board meeting on how to build bunkers to hold of chaos invasion.
"Yes actually for it would give both me and my son's something to due other than check supplies but it would also be a good cover for us to gain the proper materials for further construction of the monastery," Rogal said not even looking up from his paper.
I pause and look over to Rogal. "Huh that's actually not a bad idea," I say.
"Thank you father also I would recommend looking back at your creation of leavened batter and dough as it appears some of them are burning," spoke Rogal calmly.
As I look over I see my waffles are slightly burning and quickly get them out of their pan. As I serve the slightly singed waffles to everyone. "Sorry about that but at least they still should be good," as I sit down to eat with Asia and Rogal. "So you got a time or a place when you're gonna go and get them to hire you, considering you don't have any license, credentials, diploma, or even an identity I assume it's gonna be difficult," I say.
"I can assume just like in the 31st millennium there will always be people who don't care about paperwork or the process and simply care about the final product and I will be heading out later tonight but first I will need to do some research on the company," spoke Rogal.
To which I agree, that sometimes people don't care about red tape. "Hmm well hopefully you actually convince them," I say to which Rogal just nods.
As we after we finish breakfast I take my leave with Asia to get for clothes for her and possibly to order some clothes for Rogal. While Slaanesh had given some clothes for them I would rather have Asia pick out her own clothes than anything that Slaanesh picked out for her.
Kouh Shopping District
We make are way into the local shopping district I begin to strike up a conversation with Asia to pass the time. "So how have all of the marines and Rogal been treating you?" I ask as I would like to know what she feels about this whole thing.
"Rogal has been respectful but I don't know if he likes me or not he seems like a very quiet person," she says.
That's an understatement, I think. "He's always like that give him time and you'll see he cares and what about the marines?" I ask
"They been treating me great, they treat me with respect and gratitude but sometimes it feels a little like being back at the church with them praising my power over myself," she says with a forlorn smile.
"You have to forgive them on that one, the only other time they have seen such power is from the forces of chaos and from the Living Saints," I say.
"Living Saints?" Asia asks.
Right she has no clue about a lot of this stuff, I think. "Think of Living Saints as people whose pure religious faith and piety have led them to be resurrected after their death into a being of holy light, they are beacons of hope and enemies to be feared," I say.
"Like an angel?" Asia asks her eyes widening a bit.
I stroke my chin in contemplation. "Yes that would be an apt comparison of them, I suppose," I say as Living Saints are pretty much the angels of the Imperium. "But like I said you got to give them all time their..pretty protective of me so you have to give them time to see that you're not a threat," I say as Asia shakes her head in understanding.
After some more small talk, we began our shopping and we had picked out a few thing for each of us as I had bought some minor things such as some black boots and an extra red jacket as I was starting to like this red and gold motifs I had going. Asia on the other had had a lot more hoping to do due to the limited amount of clothing she had already. Mostly just some basic necessities such as a few shirts and some skirts.
But things got embarrassing for me when she started asking for my opinion on lingerie. Now while my dating experience is near nonexistent that doesn't mean I don't know the one rule a guy doesn't say if he wants to stay in good graces.
'I don't know' or 'They both look good' are the last things you want to say when asks for your advice on anything. So I just said that the light green pair was better and left it at that. Christ if I didn't know any better I'd say that she was trying to flirt with me, albeit innocent and naive flirting but flirting nonetheless, I think
My, my creator if I had known you like them young I would have gladly changed my form to suit your whims, Slaanesh spoke to me through are metal link and a metal image of Lolli Slaanesh.
Not what I am into Slaanesh and quite trying to get me in my pants it's not happening, I think (Never say never, Luke).
Oww, why do you have to play had to get, oh by the way you probably should be keeping an eye on that little kitty that has been following you since you left your home, spoke Slaanesh.
Little kitty, I think and look around inconspicuously. And low and behold their siting a few yards away from the shop eating some ice cream is Koneko. So Rias is finally playing that game is she, I think as there isn't much I can do now as I have no real proof that she was sent to spy on me. So, for now, I continue to walk with Asia around and after a bit, we walk on home with the strangler watching our every move.
Luke's Home
Got to admit, if I was a little less powerful I wouldn't be able to sense her see is actually pretty good at it, I think as I make my way inside my house. It's about 9:00 when we got back and we had managed to find some things not only for Asia but also a few articles of clothing for Rogal and the other marines (In XXXL of course). I had told Asia to put her stuff up in the first room of the left on the second floor as that was the only other bedroom in the entire house. Not counting the rooms on the third floor that had been done by now and only needed some minor furnishings and some personal touches.
I myself head up to bed to try and get some shut-eye. But all of a sudden a red magic circle appears on my floor and Rias pops out of it. "The hell are you doing here?!" I question as who breaks into someone's house that they had an argument with.
"This is sudden and something I don't have much time to explain but I need you to take my virginity," she says nonchalantly as she unbuttons her color shirt and then unzips her bra.
As this is happening I'm just standing there like a deer caught in the headlights and can only say "Huh,". Quickly understanding something's up and being raised to respect a woman's privacy I cover up my eyes to the glorious site I had just saw and question. "What in the hell are you on about,".
"I don't have time to explain right now," Rias says as I hear her move closer.
"Look you're gonna have to make time to explain cause while I wouldn't turn down a roll in the hay, this is seemingly extremely suspicious," I say as I back up to the bed and grab the sheet with my off hand and throw it to her. "So cover yourself up and let's talk, like rational people instead of you basing this all on emotion," I say as I can literally see emotions pouring out of her. Due to the presence of the four, I can see the emotions attached to them. And right now hate sadness, and despair all radiating off of her at this point. Something is up and I am not about to walk in blind cause Lil' Luke is suddenly into red heads. "Alright Red so tell me whats with the sudden request for sex?" I ask as I sit down in my computer chair.
Rias sits down on my bed and sighs. "It's a long story," she says.
"Well I got all night," I say nonchalantly as I lean back ready to listen to a tale.
"Well currently as the next head of the Gremory legacy it's going to my duty to help advance and protect devil society," Rias continued. "For this duty and to help expand devil society there will need to be more devils not to mention more pure-blooded devils,". "In order for us to replenish are numbers and as well for a lot of the older devils to feel secure that pure-blooded devils will remain my family has set up an arrange marriage with the next heir of the Phenex clan," Rias said with discarded in her voice.
"So, in turn, the only way you thought to get out of this arrange marriage was to lose your V-card to someone else and hope that would allow you to escape this whole mess, sound about right?" I ask feeling disgusted by this as it goes against my moral code for others to be forced into a marriage or a relationship. Hell, i'm getting vivid flashback to another incident just like this, I think to a situation similar to this.
"Yes I had hoped that this would cause him to seem me as 'used goods' so to speak," Rias said clearly having a hate for this fiance of hers.
"If that's the case then why me of all people, last I checked you had two other guys in your group why not just ask them?" I continue. "Aren't I like a pseudo-enemy or something too you?"
"While I admit that you are aggravating and in my opinion a little arrogant…" Rias says as I interrupt her.
"Don't forget handsome," I quickly say.
Rias just glares at me. "As I was saying, while you are all those things I do not hate you at all, annoyed yes, but I don't hate you," she continued. "I also sense that you have great compassion for others as you seemed to have taken a liking to that nun rather quickly and thought you might help my in my plight," she says.
"While I do have compassion for others yes I am not going to go out of my way for others that I don't feel deserve my help and she reminded me of a friend of mine form long ago, but anyways you only answer half my question," I say.
"Yes well while Kiba is my loyal knight who would do most anything for me, he's far too chivalrous and sweet to take me and Issei is well adorable but.." she pauses trying to come up with words to describe her servant.
"A shameless leach," I say bluntly as I calls them as I sees them.
"For lack of a better word yes, I see him as more of a little brother really than anything else," she says (Ouch that's gotta sting for those who wanted to see Issei and Rias).
"While those are some good answers that still doesn't convince me on why you chose me," I say as I can just feel there is something more.
"Well there is also that factor of your power," she says.
"What's my power got to do with this?" I question.
"Well not only the fact that there is literally no evidence nor records of powers such as yours, but the fact that you presented a power dark aura similar to that of devils and as well as your ability to resurrect people without the need of a crutch such as Evil Pieces is all but unheard of for mortals," she says.
"So essentially I was a power play of sorts," I say just slight ticked that I was gonna be used as a trump card.
"In many ways yes, power such as yours is unheard of and those with the power to resurrect like you are only gods and other beings of higher or equal power," Rias said.
I sit there and think for a bit as I'm not quite sure what to do as this isn't a situation you can just expect. But before I can say anything another magical circle appears and out pops a women with white hair and wearing a maid outfit.
"Mistress Rias I would hope you have more tacked then to sleep with a being of such low class, you know Sirzechs will be disappointed," the maid said in a very professional and regal sounding voice as she both insulted me and scolded Rias.
"Oi I actually didn't sleep with her madam nor did I have any intention of sleeping with her, I have more self-control than to give in to simple primal urges!" I say in my defense as where does she get off insulting me.
"My apologies sir but this is more of a matter between the supernatural than to those of a mortal lifestyle and for someone such as yourself it would be seen as unbecoming to one of Lady Rias standards," she said as Rias looked agitated by the use of her title.
"Grayfia it is my choice to whom I give myself to and I would also appreciate it if you don't insult my friends in such a manner, even if you are my brother's queen," Rias said in my defense.
"Noted, anyways forgive my earlier rudeness I am Grayfia servant of the Gremory family," the now named Grafia spoke.
"It's alright, I understand giving the matter at hand and I am Luke Conwell," I say introducing myself with a slight bow as while I am still ticked off about being insulted like that, my mother raised me to be somewhat gentlemen like so somethings are to be ignored.
I could see a hint of surprise in those stoic features for a quick second. "Ah a gentleman, it is rare to find such manners in mortals nowadays," Grayfia said.
"Well my mother always tried to raise me up as a gentleman," I say.
With that Grayfia just nods and looks to Rias as if there's an unspoken word between them Rias gets up and picks her clothing up and get slightly dressed. "I apologize for the interruption Luke I was not in the best mindset I hope you can forgive me," she says with the same for long look in her eyes as before.
"No apology necessary and we will discuss more on this tomorrow Rias I promise you that," I say as she begins to leave in the magic circle and eyes light up from my words. I am still curious about this whole thing anyway. With them now gone I head to bed.
Kouh Academy
As I walk down the academy with Asia and Rogal who I informed this morning about my visit form Rias. To say Rogal was frustrated was an understatement as he was already trying to plan ways to stop such teleportation from happening again as it was unacceptable for people to just teleport into the Emperor's personal chambers. All Asia could as if I was alright, as always I reassure her and pat her head affectionately. "So Rogal how was the interview last night?" I ask.
Rogal looked up in recollection "It was…fruitful" he said as he began to tell of what happened
Nagayama Electronics CEO's Office
I sat in the relatively small office room on a nearby coffee table as the chair I had tried to sit in was not soundly built and proceeded to warp and snap under my figure. As I sat on the coffee table, Mr. Nagayama the business owner that sent out the request for a contractor.
"Yes, well Mr. Dorn was it, it seems that I can't hire you," Says Nagayama as sharp brown eyes through glasses read papers. Nagayama was dressed like any regular higher up in a corporation, business suit and all. The only distinct thing about him was the growing wing tips in his hair and wrinkles developing under the man's eyes, a clear sign of the man's growing age and possible lack of sleep or abundance in stress.
"If I may ask why that is Mr. Nagayama?" I ask slightly losing the collar of this infernal suit that father had told me to wear. They lied when they said this fabric breathes, what was it again, cotton? I question.
Nagayama sighs and says, "Besides the fact that you have no bachelor degree in either construction science, surveying, or other fields," he continues. "You have don't have any high school diploma, birth certificate, ID of any kind, and no papers for your construction company...what was it called again,"
"Terran Fortified sir," I say quickly.
"Hmm yes...well I have to say if you weren't sitting in front of me I would say you don't exist, but even if I forgo all the other reasons I have stated the position has already been filled," Nagayama says.
"Be that as it may Mr. Nagayama, the men you have hired are clearly doing subpar work for the construction you have asked of them," I say as I begin to resort to plan B as plan A of just showing up and speaking of my credentials had no effect on this man.
At this Nagayama raises an eyebrow at that. "What do you mean by that?" he asks.
"Is that your new office building being constructed down the block?" I ask as I look out a nearby window to see the ramshackle mess that is the constitution zone.
"Yes actually, we're currently trying to move out of this location and into the new one for more office space and to add in a small factory out the back so we can test and ship any new ideas that come to us, why do you ask," he says.
"Do you know about the instability of that section of the city as well?" I ask him.
"Why yes since the last earthquake that section was hit the hardest, but Mr. Suzuki recommended it saying that the area had been reinforced and a new foundation was put in," spoke Nagayama.
"Then Suzuki lied to you as the new foundation he told you about are false and the area has still not been cleared for any new construction by city hall," I said.
"What! How do you even now this?" he asked.
"I had done some research on the building and about the local area, as well as researching about Mr. Suzuki and Mr. Ito," I say.
At mentioning Ito's name Nagayama's face becomes confused. "Ito? What does that snake have to do with this?" he asks.
"Have you notice that Ito has been taking a lot of money out of your company's funds?" I ask him.
"Yes I confronted him about and he stated it was for a new project that will improve the company's revenue within the following month, how do you know this?" he questioned me.
I hand him an envelope. "In preparation for the job I had not only done some digging on the local area but also on Hanzo Suzuki himself," I continue as Nagayama pulls the papers and photos out of the envelope. "Suzuki has made a lot of enemies from many of his clients in the past whom he has ripped off to his own employees that he has undercut pay from, to now where he is taking not only your payment but also the payment of Ito to build on that area,".
"And how did you come across this information?" Nagayama asks questing my sources.
"Many of Suzuki's workers are sick of the treatment, but can't report to or join any union due to their employer's practices of causing accidents to happen or shifting any blame for his actions to any unruly employee," I continue. "That is where I come in as I convinced them to hand me over all this evidence they have gathered as a way to spite their boss and get some sort of payback,".
Nagayama looks intensely at some of the documents. "And Ito, what does he have to gain in this? He has been loyal, albeit sly member of the company since I took him on board after his grandfather and my business partner and close friend's death," he asks.
"Ito wishes to take your place as chairmen and run the company for himself, he believes that either you die in the building when the supports give out for it or the shame of such a disaster will force the other board members to kick you out of the company at which point he can come in and steal the position, sir," I say resiting off what I had learned from Ito's secretary and Suzuki's workers.
Nagayama just sits there for a bit and looks out the window at the construction site. "Always knew that conniving snake was after my job, but resorting to this, if his grandfather could see this he would be rolling in his grave!" he continues as he puts his head into his hands. "While I thank you for giving me this information there is little I can do now as I have already bought up the land and now knowing this no one is going to want to buy off land that could kill them," he says stress and anger in his voice.
"Perhaps not sir," I say gaining his attention. "If you end your contract with Suzuki and hire me and my team we can assure you stable support to assist the pre-existing foundation and a building up to your specification in whatever time frame you need," I say trying to use the same tactics I did in my time dealing with the High Lords of Terra.
"And why should I trust you, for all I know you could be trying to scam me out of my money and company as well?" he questions me tiredly as this whole ordeal has affected him.
"That is wise of you to question my actions, however, I pride myself not only on my ability to construct but on the blunt honesty I give out, I am not out to make friends I am here to complete a task," I continue. "And the only way I see to complete a task right is to shell the brutal truth to people,". "I tell people the truth not to harm them, but to enlighten them to what is happening around them, and sometimes that enlightenment is not always painless," I finish.
We both sit there for a few moments as Nagayama cracks a slight smile and chuckles a little. "You know, you remind me a lot of my old partner blunt, honest, and had a goal that he will not diverge from," he said as he picked up a photo that from what I could see was of a younger looking Nagayama and someone else around the same age. "So when do you think you can get those supports in?" he asks me as he sticks out his hand.
"Whenever you can get Suzuki's and his equipment out of their," I replied as I return the handshake.
Old School Building
"And after that we discussed are contract," finished Rogal retelling of his interview.
"Hmm damn, Rogal got to say I'm impressed I didn't know you were such a shrewd businessman," I say making a mental note to try and warn the next person that goes up against Rogal in terms of diplomacy.
"It is a basic requirement father to scout out the enemy and hammer against their weaknesses," he said as he held open the door to Rias and her group. In my Rogal's ramblings, I hadn't even noticed we had made it to the old school building's main office.
"Sup Red," I say announcing my presence. I look around and see everyone in what I can assume normal spots as they all seem relaxed with Rias sitting at her desk. And surprisingly Grayfia is here as well. "Ah Grayfia you're here too, how's it going," I say as I make my way over to the vacant couch.
Grayfia nods and replies. "Things are well and hello to you too," she says as she turns to Rogal and Asia and bows. "Greetings I am Grayfia Lucifuge servant of the Gremory family," she replied in normal emotionless tone.
Rogal bows slightly and replies. "I am Rogal Dorn primarch of the Imperial Fist Astartes legion," he says quickly as he still doesn't like these guys being devils and all but for the sake of keeping peaceful relations, he will at least act civil.
"I am Asia Argento Luke's handmaiden," she replies quickly with a curtsy.
Huh see really took that whole Handmaiden of the Emperor stick seriously, I think as Rogal stands behind me and Asia comes to sit down next to me.
"Now that your hear Luke I can explain not only to you but also to members of my peerage who are out of the loop," Sed as a magic circle encased in flames begins to appear suddenly near the doorway.
"Ah it has been a long time since Rizer has been in the human realm, I have come a long way to see you my beloved Rias," spoke a tall guy around my age with short blond hair. He's dressed in a burgundy blazer, a white dress shirt, burgundy pants, and black dress shoes. With the shirt being opened up a little to see some of his chest. Basically, he is wearing an outfit that screams 'i'm an asshole'.
While everyone else was silent for a few moments, there was only one person to say anything during this silence. "Who's the blond pretty boy asshole?" I ask.
(Scene opens up to a lone guy typing on his laptop) "Oh hey, guys". All the readers pull out bolters and chainswords out on him. "Wait! Wait! Hold up let me explain myself before you try and gut me like a fist". One reader shots two fingers off. "Shit! You do realize it will take even longer now right?!". All other readers look at the one who shot me and pounce on him.
Fun comedic skit aside I know a lot of you guys have been wondering where I have been. Well, to be honest, I don't have the best explanations for you other than I have been busy with family stuff and helping my friend out who has lung cancer. But besides that, I don't have much of an excuse and in all honesty, I left you guys all hung up and dry. I should at the very least have given you guys something for your time but I didn't.
Seeing your guy's comments and critiques as well as the number of people just reading this fills me with both joy and pride, and that's why I feel I have let you guys down. I hate myself for it as all I wish to do is make stories that both entertain and run the imagination of others.
So to end this little late Thanksgiving treat off, I am going to tell you what I will try and do. For now, I have stuck closely to mostly Warhammer stuff. Hell my only two stories right now are about Warhammer stuff. But I want to try something different for a bit. And don't worry I won't quite this story anytime soon, give it a break maybe, but end oh no sir I still have way too much planned for this story to just end it yet. Anyway I will be finishing up act 2 by the end of this year at the latest (God be damned if I let you guys down like that). But in the meantime I will probably be posting another story, not to sure as I may just scrap the idea. But I will tell you it is a crossover of sorts with Prototype and the SCP Foundation Mythos. If you have never heard of either I highly recommend both as one is a fantastic set of stories and little world that has been built and the other is a badass and interesting game franchise.
So with that out of the way, I will be talking a little about the chapter. For starters, this was a sort of lead up chapter that was meant to so you guys some of the more daily interactions between the characters with hints (More like flat out stating) what is gonna happen next. And first Mr. Nagayama is an OC and will probably not return in any real length maybe as a cameo, but that is about it. He could return later but that's up in the air. Also, we're getting towards the final fight of season 1, you guys have no idea how existed I am to right that chapter, of course, it will have to be chapter 10 as the next will have something else special planned for chapter 9. I have been gone for this long I can at least spoil you guys a little but not all.
I hope you guys enjoy and I will probably finish the next chapter by early December. So until next time true readers, this is Gaslight88 signing off.
