[HP] 71: Finalizing Hermes' Design

Inside the pouch, along with the professional carving tools, were a dozen or so Galleons.

Naturally, this wasn’t Hagrid giving Louis free money—these Galleons came from the sale of a large, worn-out piece of dragon hide that Louis had asked Hagrid to sell for him.

With the Volumen Hydrargyrum standing guard, the Ravenclaw Horcrux fragment of Voldemort had no chance to act up. Even in the wizarding world, mercury was a precious magical material, capable of blocking magical corr...

[HP] 70: First to Complete the Second Phase

After finishing the letter, Louis opened the cage and let the eager Fafnir out.

Of course, delivering a letter meant using an owl. And owls, as magical creatures, were born with a human-locating spell—meaning, no matter how hard Hermione tried to avoid Louis, she couldn’t hide from an owl.

This letter, seemingly packed with useful content while actually saying nothing in detail, would no doubt bait Hermione’s curious nature.

Even if Louis had accidentally offe...

[HP] 69: Can You Really Call It a Lie When a Magician Does It?

Wizards are individually powerful—but their magical society is fragile and vulnerable.

Still, even if the entire wizarding civilization collapsed and wizards were forced to live in isolation or small groups, it wouldn’t really affect Louis all that much.

He spent the entire morning watching the twins create magical gadgets while teaching them some of his magic tricks.

And by afternoon? Louis ditched them without hesitation.

What kind of scene was it for three guys ...

[Genshin Impact] Chapter 535: BOOM!! (2-in-1 Chapter)

Use this skill on a target to gain information on unknown entities?

Nolan looked at the affection skill with pleasant surprise—this seemed pretty good. Fischl’s affection skill, “Eye of Judgement,” allowed him to see others’ levels.

But that was it—just levels.

Yae Miko’s affection skill, on the other hand, was specialized in intelligence gathering. While it didn’t share the illusion-piercing feature of the golden Eye of Judgement, its information-ex...

[Game] Chapter 327: Year’s End

As the year-end winter break had begun, Ichin and Utaha spent the day at the company. After work, they went out for yakiniku with Kō Yagami, Rin Toyama, and Umiko, then headed home together.

Once they got home, Utaha went to take a bath, and Ichin made a video call to his family.

As soon as the video connected, his parents’ voices came through the screen.

Seeing her son, Ichin’s mother smiled and asked, “Ichin, are you at home right now?”

“Yeah, just got bac...

[Game] Chapter 326: Pokémon and Game Freak

After leaving the hospital and getting into the car, Utaha buckled her seatbelt and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect you, Ichin, to use Peppa to win over girls.”

“You make it sound bad,” Ichin replied as he started the car. “Akane Akasaka and Umi Boshima were the only two there, and I’m more familiar with Akane. It was my first time meeting Umi. She’s an illustrator, and we don’t share many common interests. But I noticed she really liked cats, so I just let Peppa k...

[HP] 68: Studying Magic Requires Scientific Methods Too

Louis emerged from the passage and immediately saw a moving portrait—it depicted a knight.

“Thank you for opening the door for us,” Fred said as he offered a half-baked knightly salute. The knight in the painting returned the gesture with equal formality.

“That guy’s a fake knight who’s obsessed with knight tales,” Fred explained. “But you have to treat him like he’s real, or sometimes he won’t open the door for you.”

“That’s actually kind of fun,�...

[HP] 67: This Probably Won’t Be the Last One

Even though Louis had assured everyone that the Acromantula came from the Forbidden Forest, Professor McGonagall still organized a castle-wide search with the help of the available professors.

She even specifically asked Hagrid to invite Professor Silvanus Kettleburn, who lived near the Forbidden Forest, to help confirm the Acromantula's presence.

“Rest assured, Minerva,” said Kettleburn after thoroughly inspecting the area. “There are no traces of Acromantula activity near ...

[HP] 66: You Call an Acromantula a Small Animal?!

Harry and Louis didn't speak in unison, but their reactions were exactly the same.

Both were: What the hell is that thing?!

The creature Fafnir had brought back was unmistakably an Acromantula. Harry didn’t recognize what it was, but Louis did. That was a descendant of Hagrid’s Acromantula—extremely venomous!

And venom alone wasn’t the only threat. In the wild, it was said that these creatures could kill a wizard in an instant with a sneak attack. According ...

[Genshin Impact] Chapter 534: Kitsune Saiguu (2-in-1 Chapter)

The dimly lit corridor was utterly silent, flanked by thick stone walls. For now, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

As they continued forward, the corridor grew darker and darker, until not even the faintest trace of light could reach them. It was like a moonless, starless night—pitch black and absolute.

“Snap!”

With a flick of her fingers, Yae Miko summoned several fox-shaped orbs of Electro light, illuminating the space ahead.

“You’ve never been ...

[Game] Chapter 325: Cat Checkup and a Chat

They didn’t linger outside and headed into the pet hospital together.

Since they had already made an appointment, after confirming their information at the front desk, Ichin and Utaha took their cat to the consultation room, where the doctor in charge of the checkup was waiting.

As for Akane Akasaka, after watching Ichin and Utaha go in first, she and Umi Boshima also brought their cat in for its spay surgery.

On Ichin’s side, this wasn’t their first visit to this hosp...

[Game] Chapter 324: Feels Like He’s Just Showing Off

“It’s almost discount season again.”

With around ten days left before Steam’s autumn sale, it was time to start thinking about discounts once more.

Ichin sat in his office, Peppa the cat nestled in his arms, eyes fixed on the Steam backend data displayed on his monitor.

Thanks to the spring and summer sales earlier this year, even though both Hollow Knight and Slay the Spire were already in their complete versions, their sales continued to rise stea...

[HP] 64: Huh? I’m a Descendant of Merlin?

“I think your tactics could be a little more refined. Maybe you’d be more persuasive if you stopped using such crude intimidation.”

Louis calmly ignored the churning black fog and the furious voice within, speaking slowly and smoothly. “We’re both smart people. No need to embarrass yourself like this.”

The black fog finally dissipated, and the chilling atmosphere returned to normal, leaving only the Ravenclaw Diadem resting silently on the desk.

Fafnir lay trembl...

[HP] 63: Voldemort? That’s It?

Since the Ravenclaw Diadem was one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, containing a fragment of his split soul, Louis had no intention of putting it into his storage space—that’s why he went to all this trouble.

Sure, the soul fragment in the original story never acted up and seemed completely dormant, but Louis wasn’t about to bet on that. What if it suddenly sprouted some creepy phantom limbs and started messing with his stuff?

His things were valuable. If they got damage...

[Genshin Impact] Chapter 533: Prison (2-in-1 Chapter)

Inazuma, Grand Narukami Shrine.

After the shrine maiden finished her report and left, Nolan was still kneading Yae Miko’s calves. Flushed and irritated, Yae Miko grabbed his ear and snapped:

“Oh my, how bold of you to bully this Guuji. You've got some nerve! Tell me, how should I punish you?”

“It was just a joke, Guuji-sama... surely someone as magnanimous as you wouldn’t hold it against me…” Nolan tried to brush it off while holding her hand.

“Hmph!”...

[Game] Chapter 323: Eriri Thinking About the Kitties

Staring at the rain that showed no signs of letting up outside the window, Eriri muttered in frustration, “Why is it still raining this hard? I thought autumn was supposed to be drier?”

Utaha, who had just finished reviewing the upcoming Persona plot outline with Hazuki, walked over while stretching and replied, “There are always exceptions. The weather’s been weird these past few years, hasn’t it? Still, with it raining like this, shouldn’t you call Aunt Sayuri and...

[Game] Chapter 322: Autumn Has Arrived

After working on edits for half an hour, Utaha stretched and rolled her neck before glancing at Ichin, who was seated in his office chair.

“Hey, Ichin, I just remembered... I think we’re out of groceries at home. What are we doing for dinner?”

“Hm? Dinner?”

Ichin paused from reviewing the program and thought for a moment before replying, “How about we eat out tonight? Didn’t Auntie mention yesterday that they were planning to wait for Uncle after work and have ...

[HP] 62: The Gold Mine Inside the Room of Requirement

For the next few days, aside from attending regular classes, Louis spent all his free time trying to practice Qi Magic.

"Practice," in this case, really meant studying. Qi Magic wasn’t a level-based, step-by-step cultivation system. Instead, it was something that improved through knowledge and experience.

The more you knew, the more you experienced, the more powerful your Qi Magic became.

That said, the process of learning Qi Magic… was hard to explain without sounding c...

[HP] 61: Time to Practice Qi Magic

The second upgraded ability of the Mystic Eye of Distortion was simple—pure distortion.

But it wasn’t limited to distorting physical matter.

Rules, targets, temperature, gravity—anything that existed could be distorted.

With strong enough mental power, Louis could even reverse the properties of lava and make flowers bloom from it, or twist the nature of fire so that it froze things instead of burning them.

This near-omnipotent ability came from ...

[HP] 60: Absorbing the Eyes of Fate Observation

Shameless!

Malfoy’s mouth twitched as he cursed Louis internally.

Those guys getting sent to the infirmary was clearly your doing, and now that you’ve had your revenge, you’re still threatening them?

He thought it, but didn’t dare say it out loud. Swallowing his anger, Malfoy nodded stiffly. “I’ll let them know.”

Just you wait… I’ll tell my father about this. He’ll get you expelled! Malfoy muttered silently in his heart.

He had learne...

[Genshin Impact] Chapter 532: Welcome Home, Husband (2-in-1 Chapter)

In the Wonderland, the living room.

After successfully purifying the Sacred Sakura Tree, Nolan and Yoimiya were transported back to the Naganohara Fireworks Shop, while Yae Miko and Hanachirusato returned to the Grand Narukami Shrine.

Following that, Nolan bid Yoimiya farewell and went back to the Wonderland.

It was already around ten o'clock at night. Dinner had long been eaten. Some were relaxing in the hot springs, while others were rinsing off in the beachside pool.

[Game] Chapter 321: The Highly Gifted Ruri

Hazuki didn’t keep Ichin waiting long. After two minutes of thought, she accepted the task.

“Alright, since you trust me this much, of course I’ll give it my full focus and make sure this project is done well.”

Even though she accepted, there was no rush—after all, some things take priority, and the Persona project still required much of Hazuki’s attention.

After chatting a bit more, Ichin left Hazuki’s office.

As soon as he stepped out, he notic...

[Game] Chapter 320: The Plan and the Producer

In the test program, Ichin didn’t provide any hints about the katana boss, so by the time the afternoon gathering ended, only Aoba had managed to clear it once by sheer luck. Whether the others were good at action games or not, none of them had been able to defeat the katana guy.

At 4 p.m., Ichin shut down the program and smiled at everyone. “Alright, that’s enough testing for now. Time to head back and prep for dinner.”

The moment she heard "dinner," Kō Yagami’s eyes l...

[HP] 59: I Do Hold Grudges

The effects of the genetic serum were no joke—it definitely made Fafnir smarter… but also more vain.

Ignoring Fafnir’s protests, Louis stuffed the little show-off back into his cage, covering him with a cloth as he tried to flex his muscles. Then he sat down on the couch, ready to try his luck at a draw.

A “Fate Draw”—just the name sounded fancy. Surely whatever came from it would be top-tier, right? No way something more chaotic than the T-virus could pop out, right?<...

[HP] 58: Third Disturbance of Fate

“Good afternoon, everyone. I’m really sorry for startling you all.”

Louis wore a deeply apologetic expression. “Truly sorry, I don’t know why my broom suddenly broke apart—I just crashed in like that.”

As he spoke, he completely ignored the Slytherin students groaning on the ground, and instead glanced at Professor Quirrell standing at the podium.

Quirinus Quirrell...

Louis looked at Quirrell’s pale face, and a strange glint flickered in his eyes.

[HP] 57: Reap What You Sow, You Brats

Flying class was still held jointly for Slytherin and Gryffindor.

Harry and Ron, full of excitement, clutched their brooms and walked at the front of the group. When it comes to flying, no one can resist the allure of soaring through the air—even if it’s just sitting on a broom and letting it carry you.

“Alright, everyone, form two lines and place your brooms at your side,”

Madam Rolanda Hooch, the flying instructor, was as spirited as ever, sharp as an owl as she di...

[Game] Chapter 319: Nene's Custom Game Engine

Umiko's approach was indeed clever. No matter how strong the enemy, fighting in that kind of environment up top was just plain unfavorable.

In open areas, dodging and creating distance was much easier.

Soon, Umiko led her character back down to the lower area, and moments later, the katana-wielding enemy—Uchigatana Guy—came charging after her.

Umiko quickly raised her shield and blocked the incoming strike, then immediately went on the offensive and landed several hits.<...

[Game] Chapter 318: Final Elite Enemy – The Uchigatana Guy

Although Ichin hadn’t mentioned it aloud, the parry mechanic was written clearly in the instructions.

After blocking two of the Lothric Knight’s attacks and realizing that just defending wouldn’t work, Aoba thought about trying a parry.

“Maybe… parrying could work?”

With that thought, Aoba released her guard while backing away and pressed the LT button for the shield parry. Her character swung the shield forward.

Eriri said excitedly, “If normal ...

[Pokemon] Chapter 65: VS Lapras

From the surface of the sea, Lapras glared up at Jin, who stood at the bow of the ship, with seething hatred. Jin, in turn, returned the look with an icy, almost disdainful gaze, as though he were looking at trash. That expression only further enraged Lapras.

HOOOOOH!”

Trembling with fury, Lapras charged straight through the water toward Jin at the bow.

Compared to Pokémon like Arboliva, Lapras’s size was more "normal," but even so, it was still massive. If it ...
