At 7:30 PM, Ichin didn’t make Eriri stay for overtime. It wasn’t time for that yet, so he simply let her go home.
After Eriri left, Ichin turned to look at the rest of the studio, where everyone was still sitting obediently at their desks.
"...What about you guys? Why is no one leaving work today?"
At his words, everyone lifted their heads and exchanged glances.
Then, under Ichin's surprised gaze, the entire group immediately sprang into action, jumping out of thei...

Five minutes later, everyone—except for the two still busy in the kitchen—was sitting around Eriri, staring at her in utter shock.
"Wait… Kashiwagi Eri is Eriri?!"
Kō Yagami muttered to herself before suddenly realizing something.
"I knew it! I knew something felt familiar when I first saw Eriri's artwork. I kept thinking I'd seen that art style before… Turns out it's exactly the same as Kashiwagi Eri's!"
Back when Eriri had joined as a part-time artist, Ichin...

“I’d advise you to drop that idea. Before you even open your mouth to eat me, I’ll blast you into orbit with my cannon!” Rocket Raccoon, who couldn’t stand any kind of provocation, showed zero concern about Gwen’s teasing.
Besides, they were all teammates now — there was no reason to eat one of their own.
“Alan, are you sure it’s okay for us to just head back to Earth like this? What about the Nine Realms…” Gamora looked uneasy. After all, Black Dwarf had att...

Ebony Maw decided to return and report to Thanos. First, the tracker inside Nebula was clearly malfunctioning — otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost her so easily.
Second, he needed to find out exactly what happened to Black Dwarf. If Black Dwarf really died in Asgard, only Lord Thanos could decide what to do next.
Without any clues about their whereabouts, trying to find them in the vastness of space was nothing short of a fool’s errand.

Hollow Knight had already been listed on the Nintendo Switch and Steam store pages, with a demo version available for download. However, pre-orders had not yet been opened, nor had the pricing been announced.
Now that the release date was set, Ichin logged into Steam and began updating the page, preparing to display both the price and launch date.
The game was priced at ¥68 RMB in the Chinese region—identical to the full release price of Slay the Spire.
For other low-pric...

Now that his own classmates knew, it was only a matter of time before the entire school found out.
Sure enough, during a break, Ichin pulled out his phone and logged into the school forum—only to find multiple discussion threads about him.
After scrolling through two pages, he sighed and closed the browser.
Why was everyone obsessing over the fact that his studio was full of girls? Couldn’t anyone just focus on the game itself?
Society was in decline. People had lo...

After taking two days off at home to rest and work, the long-awaited first day of the new school term finally arrived.
After breakfast, Ichin and Utaha left the house together.
As they walked towards the bus stop, Utaha looked up at the bright blue sky, squinted slightly, and said, "It's already September, but it's still so hot."
"Give it another ten days or so, and it should cool down," Ichin replied while holding her hand. After thinking for a moment, he added, "But it's a...

Onboard his ship, Ebony Maw was heading straight for Nebula’s coordinates when he suddenly noticed the signal flickering wildly before shifting in a completely different direction.
Ebony Maw sneered to himself. Could it be that Nebula was trying to escape in another direction, knowing that he was coming to capture her and deliver the Infinity Stone to Lord Thanos?
"Traitor... daring to betray Lord Thanos — she must know exactly what fate awaits her once she’s caught!"

Nebula lay on the bed and quickly lost consciousness. She wasn’t worried about Red Queen’s abilities — after all, anyone who could stay by Emperor’s side wouldn’t be ordinary.
Red Queen immediately connected to the network and began scanning for the hidden tracker inside Nebula’s body. With her supercomputing power, it took less than a minute for Red Queen to locate the tracker, which was even smaller than a microchip.
Removing the tracker from Nebula’s body was an e...

Seeing Shinoda’s puffed-up cheeks, Ichin said, “Swallow your food before you talk.”

Shinoda blinked, chewed a few more times, and finally swallowed her sushi before asking, “For the photos, do we take selfies or just scenery shots?”
“Either is fine, whatever you guys prefer,” Ichin replied with a smile. “A lot of other game companies post photos from their business trips on social media. We’re just on vacation, but we can still share some pict...

Playing in the water can be exhausting, especially when it involves more than just swimming—like beach volleyball and other games.
Most of the team from the studio were office workers, and apart from Shinoda and Umiko, their stamina wasn’t great. After about half an hour, one by one, they all started returning to the shade.
Seeing that everyone was already wiped out, Shinoda and Umiko exchanged a glance and followed suit, retreating under the parasol.

On a summer afternoon, even by the sea, the sun was blazing, and the public beach was packed with people.
After splashing around in the shallow water for a bit and observing the crowded scene, Hiratsuka Shizuka ran a hand through her long hair. "I don’t think we can enjoy ourselves here… it's way too crowded."
Ichin had expected this and suggested, "Want to go somewhere else? The hotel operates a private beach on the other side, exclusively for guests. There's a small fee, but...

The moment Eula felt the soft, moist sensation on her lips, her heart seemed to stop beating.
Her mind went blank, leaving only one thought—
She had been kissed.
She had been kissed by that guy, Nolan!

She had no idea how to react. She even forgot to resist, her eyes losing focus in shock.

Too many things had happened recently, and Alan had almost forgotten—Nebula had a tracking system inside her. No matter where she went, she could never escape Thanos’ pursuit.
Ebony Maw was like an unsheathed sword. Until he captured both Nebula and Gamora, that sword would never be put away.
Moreover, Ebony Maw was a master manipulator, using his silver tongue to deceive others.

Nebula and Gamora’s eyes turned red with emotion. They would never have a father like Yondu.
Thanos was completely unworthy of the title "father." To him, Gamora and Nebula were nothing more than pawns in his grand scheme to bring destruction to the universe.
The only reason he had bothered to train them was to make them useful tools in his search for the Infinity Stones.
But now, his ambitions had been laid bare before them. Gamora and Nebula would never help Thanos find ...

"Nebula, if you have something to say to Quill, just say it directly. Don't make him guess. With his level of comprehension, he won’t get it," Alan reminded her.
Quill was straightforward and not the type to overthink things. Considering the chaos they had just gone through, he probably hadn’t even heard what she said.

Seeing Quill return without a single serious injury, the heart that had been lodged in her throat finally settled.

Yondu, held back, was filled with confusion and anxiety. His gaze flickered between Alan and Gamora.
At that moment, two figures appeared at the ship’s entrance—Gwen, following Alan’s orders, had swiftly taken Mantis away from Ego’s planet.
Now, the only living being left on the planet was Star-Lord.

"Quill, now’s your chance. Don’t hesitate!" Alan pressed his communicator, reminding Quill that this was a decision he had to make himself.
Ego may have been his biological father, but he had never acted like one.
Earlier, Alan had worried that because the course of events had changed, Quill might waver—perhaps he would find it difficult to strike down his own father.
But then, Quill’s calm voice came through the communicator.
"I understand. Thank you, Alan."

Beneath Mantis, a deep fissure split open. The tentacle holding her was dragging her down into the abyss.
Quill quickly fired his Elemental Gun, severing the tentacle. Mantis clung desperately to the edge of the fissure, her legs dangling over the endless void below.
Quill shot toward her, trying to pull her up—but before he could reach her, several more tentacles emerged from behind, wrapping tightly around his legs.
In an instant, Quill was yanked ups...

Cracks immediately began to spread across its surface.

There was no glimmering pile of Mora, nor were there weapons or artifacts. Instead, what lay inside was a stack of old, yellowed papers.
What is this?
Nolan felt a tinge of curiosity.
Controlling the "Lumine's Sword God," he reached out to pick up one of the sheets for a closer look. However, as soon as he touched it, only a tiny fragment between his fingers lifted away—the rest of the paper remained stuck to the pile, too brittle to be removed intact.
