Synopsis

Our 66th issue kicks off our holiday festivities, thanks to Katherine Fast’s “Reunion” (brought to you by Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman) Plus we have an original tale by Albert Tucher (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), and a darker science fiction story by David C. Smith (thanks to Acquiring Editor Cynthia Ward, who had been on leave for the last few issues.) On the mystery front, we have another Johnny Liddell mystery from Frank Kane, a historical novel (okay, a western…but it’s also a mystery!) by W.C. Tuttle), and of course a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction end, we have a fun tale by the late British master Arthur Sellings, who has been too-long neglected. We hope to have more of his work in future issues. We also have strong stories from Murray Leinster and George O. Smith, plus another Jules de Grandin psychic detective yarn by Seabury Quinn, from the pages of the legendary pulp magazine Weird Tales.

    While Light was busy clearing the Abyss of monsters so that he had somewhere to build his new kingdom, his former Concord of the Tribes cohort, Naano, was slowly slipping deeper into despair. Despite being showered with riches and securing a top job in the Dwarf Kingdom’s most distinguished smithy, the talented blacksmith felt the course of events was taking him further and further from his life’s goal: to craft the ultimate legendary weapon. However, an encounter with a human merchant puts him on a new, much darker path to fulfilling his dream, and with his goal now in sight, Naano will stop at nothing to craft a legendary sword, even if it means spilling the blood of countless innocents. Meanwhile, Light’s quest for revenge on Naano leads to him striking a deal with the ruler of the Dwarf Kingdom, King Dagan, but will aiding him to explore some vast, labyrinthine ruins replete with deadly traps and powerful guardians from which no one has returned prove to be an unwise undertaking?

    Things have calmed down since Duke Hillrose’s coup d’état, and now Yumiella can return to focusing on Dolkness County. Lady Eleanora has even moved into the Dolkness estate, making every day a little livelier as the county continues to flourish. Just when things seem to be back to normal, a mysterious boy that has been plaguing her dreams appears before Yumiella, claiming to be the god of darkness. The boy, called Lemn, says there are parallel worlds, and he knows that Yumiella isn’t really “Yumiella.” Will Yumiella have to reveal that she was from another world in a past life, and if so, what would that mean for her and Patrick? On top of that, Lemn reveals that one of his other selves was killed by...the Yumiella from that world?! Defeating a version of herself from another world would raise Yumiella’s level cap, allowing her to surpass level 99, but can she face this god-killing version of herself?

    After defeating the god of evil, Yumiella has finally surpassed the level cap of 99. While this achievement ought to be a joyous occasion for a power-obsessed gamer like her, she can’t seem to focus on it with her marriage to Patrick just a few months away. When the reality of what a big, aristocratic wedding really looks like starts to set in, Yumiella realizes that while she wants to get married, she really doesn’t want to deal with the hassle of a whole ceremony. Impulsively fleeing home to clear her mind, Yumiella ends up in the neighboring kingdom, where she finds that the citizens are completely terrified of her. A mysterious man gives her shelter so that she can avoid conflict, but despite her best efforts, Yumiella finds herself entangled in the conspiracies surrounding a power struggle in the kingdom. How will she use her newly leveled-up Yumiella Strength to get out of trouble this time?

    The Masters hosted by the Dragonute Empire have grown increasingly concerned about their lack of knowledge surrounding the emergence of the Great Tower as well as the sudden disappearances of former members of the Concord of the Tribes, so they hatch a scheme to find out who exactly they are up against. Their plan is to get the Beastfolk Federation to declare war on the Great Tower while they watch on from afar to learn about their opponents without the need to reveal themselves. For their part, the beastfolk have their own reasons for going to war with the Great Tower. Light’s lieutenant, Ellie—aka the Wicked Witch of the Tower—has successfully conquered the elves and the dark elves, freeing the human slaves suffering under their heels in the process. Not wishing to share the same fate, the beastfolk are determined to destroy the Great Tower. But how can a relatively weak nation fight a sorceress who has her own personal army of dragons? By fighting dirty, that’s how.

    For Light and his allies in the Great Tower, the war with the Beastfolk Federation proved to be little more than a bump in the road, but the repercussions turn out to be more of an issue than originally assumed. News of the tower’s overwhelming victory spreads around the world like wildfire, making a number of the other nations sit up and take notice, and causing the next multinational summit to be brought forward as a matter of urgency. This has the knock-on effect of accelerating the plans of Princess Lilith of the Human Kingdom, who wishes to use the event to overthrow her father and seize the crown so that she can lead her nation toward a brighter future. However, she cannot accomplish her goals alone, so she comes to Light for help. Meanwhile, the manner of the Great Tower’s victory over the Beastfolk Federation’s army attracts the attention of another cabal of powerful Masters, who are quick to send out one of their own to investigate the source of the tower’s remarkable power.
