A street in New York City.
A middle-aged man was holding a bottle of vodka.
It was clear that he was already heavily intoxicated, stumbling as he walked, yet he refused to let go of the bottle, taking sips as he went.
Soon, the bottle was nearly empty.
As he tilted it back to drink the last drops, a fast-moving object in the sky caught his attention.
“What’s that…?”
The drunk man squinted at the sky.
“There’s… there’s… there’s some...

Thanks to Eula's reminder, Nolan felt like he had discovered the key to handling Acting Grand Master Jean!
“Honorary Knight!”
Jean hadn’t expected Nolan to use Barbara as leverage against her. She stood up in anger, leaning slightly over the table with her hands braced on its surface, and glared at Nolan with a look of discontent. “I am the Acting Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius—I won’t be threatened so easily!”
How annoying! The Honorary Knight actuall...

Time always flies when you're busy.
While Shūichi was deep in his lab, experimenting with human modifications on White Zetsu, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitokado, and Nara Shikaku were being escorted by an Anbu squad led by Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Chihiro as they departed Konoha for the Daimyō’s palace.
The journey was surprisingly peaceful, with no assassins foolish enough to ambush them.
After all, none of them—Hiruzen, Koharu, or Homura—were so old t...

For the next few days, after school, Ichin would head straight to the gaming club to have its members help test his game. These members were genuinely skilled; within just a few days, the fastest among them had already reached Ascension Level 6, and even those with slower progress managed to hit Ascension Level 3 with both characters.
On the other hand, a certain blonde-haired girl had also been diligently playing every day. But up to now, she had only cleared the game once with each ch...

"Great Whirlwind!"
When Shūichi arrived, he saw Guy training beneath a waterfall he had created earlier, sweeping his leg to disrupt the torrent of water.
Shūichi silently watched Guy as he trained tirelessly under the pounding water, each shout filled with energy and seeming exhaustionless.
Without the Tag Tree, Shūichi knew he would struggle to reach this level of dedication.
The hardest battle is always against oneself.
Slacking, laziness, indulgence…

Mondstadt City, Val Berry Street.
In a cozy, white two-story house, Fischl had just finished her bath and changed into a white nightgown adorned with floral patterns. As she stepped out of the bathroom, a few requests for teleportation popped up before her eyes.
One of them, naturally, was from Nolan.
The other two were familiar faces as well—Amber and Eula from the Knights of Favonius. Fischl already suspected that the moment they obtained the "waymark," Nolan was stirrin...

"Are you alright?"
Rogers crouched in front of Mystique, looking at the woman with blue skin in front of him. He knew she must be one of the superhumans—what this era referred to as mutants.
At this moment, Mystique, weakened from taking a punch from Alan and being affected by Magneto's magnetic force, leaned powerlessly against the wall behind her. Seeing this unfamiliar man crouch down and ask about her condition, she would have fought back in the past.
But now, she cou...

After returning from the lab, Shūichi washed up, then sat in his study, focusing intently on his Tag Tree.
The Medical Master tag was now ready to be activated.
Without hesitation, Shūichi activated it.
As the leaves on the Tag Tree glowed with blue light, the tag’s effects immediately took hold.
Medical ninjutsu talent increased by 100%, chakra control improved by 100%, and physical compatibility boosted by 100%. Besides Bloodline Lim...

In the Dragonspine Mountains, at the Fatui camp.
The portal had already been set up, but “The Doctor,” who hadn’t yet left, gazed into the distance at the place where the dragon had been resurrected.
He could hardly believe that the fierce and brutal dragon hadn’t fought against those people but had actually followed them instead!
This left him feeling frustrated.
After all his hard work, his achievement had been snatched away so easily. How could he not be ang...

In the car, Nick Fury floored the gas pedal, speeding down the road. Sitting in the passenger seat, Rogers held onto the handle, trying his best to steady himself. He even had the humor to joke, "These places have changed a lot more than I imagined."
Nick Fury, eyes fixed ahead as he took a sharp turn, said, "Captain, I'd love to give you a full briefing, but you need to know we have more urgent matters at hand. That mutant is no good."
Fury's face was dark and grave. He had faced...

After leaving her classroom, Eriri marched upstairs, clearly determined. Unfortunately, when she arrived, Utaha was nowhere to be seen, leaving Eriri standing outside, locked out of the room.
She waited for nearly five minutes, barely holding back the urge to call Utaha, before the girl in question finally showed up, leisurely walking down the hallway.
“You’re so slow!” Eriri complained the moment she saw her.
“Hm?” Utaha paused, then quickly grasped the situation....

Monday morning.
After finishing a math class, Eriri seemed completely drained and slumped over her desk.
“High school math is so hard…” she muttered.
Just as she was about to take a break, a classmate’s voice called out, “Sawamura-san, someone’s looking for you!”
“Huh?” Eriri sat up, confused. She didn’t know anyone in other classes, so who could be looking for her?
She turned around and saw Utaha Kasumigaoka standing at the back door, smi...

“Are you adjusting to life here?”
In a military apartment, Rogers was flipping through magazines and books in his hands. On the table before him, a thick stack of books had been piled up, most of them detailing world history and the history of the United States. Many of the contents made Rogers furrow his brows.
On the other side of the table, Nick Fury sat upright, observing the man who was once hailed as the spirit of the United States. Even as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D....

Faced with Mystique's question, Anna lightly released the safety on her pistol.
She asked, "Do you know what my profession is?"
Mystique squinted her eyes and answered, "Psychologist."
"The world’s top psychologist."
To be on the safe side and avoid troubling anyone he shouldn't, Magneto had thoroughly investigated Anna's background long ago. Naturally, Mystique, who was carrying out the mission, was also well-informed of these details.
"Correct. As a psycholog...

The night passed without incident.
The next morning, after a quick meal of ration pills, Shūichi and his team set off again, heading swiftly towards Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.
The journey was somewhat monotonous, filled with nothing but wind and sand, a landscape no one enjoyed.
Shukaku, on the other hand, was thrilled, but he wasn’t exactly human.
Fortunately, no unexpected events occurred, and the team managed to reach Sunagakure just before sunset.

As the tremors from where the dragon’s heart was located continued, it was no surprise that an avalanche began to cascade down the nearby mountains, rolling down like a tsunami from the heavens.

Kakashi hadn’t forgotten his original goal, nor was he seduced by the power of the tailed beast.
He clearly understood that what he needed was to build a solid foundation and elevate his potential, not to chase immediate power.
Seeing the tailed beast chakra covering Kakashi, Shūichi suddenly smiled and said, “I have a sword that would suit you well.”
With that, he summoned the large blade, Samehada.

After having breakfast, Utaha received a call from Ichin. She informed her parents before heading next door.
As Utaha was leaving, her mother, who was busy in the kitchen, peeked out with a teasing smile, saying, "Ah, to be young…"
The doorbell rang, and Ichin, waiting in the living room, came over to open the door for Utaha.

Anna stood by the balcony, looking down at Thirteenth Street.
A group of detectives was busy arresting suspects, with faint traces of spider webs still visible.
"Looks like Spider-Woman caught those guys again."
"She's such an interesting superhero."
At the same time, Anna noticed a homeless man lying by a trash bin not far away.
However, this "homeless man" was unusual.

As Nolan and Amber spotted "The Doctor," a gunshot rang out behind them, sparking a subtle sense of danger in Nolan's heart.
Almost instinctively, he pulled Amber behind him to shield her from the potential threat of the gunfire.
However, Nolan was a bit too cautious.
In that moment, a bullet infused with intense Pyro energy shot directly toward his forehead. Yet, the bullet's kinetic force and fiery energy vanished instantly upon contact.

Outside the apartment where Alan used to live.
