Mash Kyrielight was drifting.
She should have been dead- the girl knew that much beyond the shadow of a doubt. The injuries she had taken in the explosion were fatal beyond the shadow of a doubt. She may not have picked up much in the way of medicine from Dr. Roman, perhaps the closest thing she had to a parental figure, but Mash was aware that she’d simply lost far too much blood to be saved.
And… she had been mostly fine with that. It wasn’t a normal reaction...

I’m not ashamed to say that I tuned out of the Director’s speech less than a minute in.
No offense to her, but it was clear that while she might’ve been a powerful Magus, whatever talent she had did not extend to either Charisma or public speaking. She sounded like my 2nd Grade English Teacher, probably the only person who actually made me fall asleep outright in class. Maybe it was the nerves from being at the head of an operation to save the whole world, but there ...

Honestly, the moment I saw the messages the Game had sent me, I realized that I should have just kept my fat mouth shut.

Description: With your Charm and wit, you have managed to capture the attention of none other than Leonardo Da Vinci, Genius Extraordinaire. Take advantage of that, and you just might be able to get some of the answers that you've been looking for.

I'm ashamed to say that I spent a large portion of my childhood wishing that I was special.
Insecurity was my middle name growing up, largely due to the fact that I had nothing going for me in either the looks department or the talent sector. Sure, I was a pretty cute baby, and had actually blasted past my developmental milestones at a rather quick pace in my infant years, but that head start I'd gotten over my peers had quickly fizzled away into nothing by the time I was five years old...

"Ah, Master, you're finally awake." As I gradually returned to the land of the conscious, these were the words that greeted me.
The unfamiliar, though not unpleasant, voice, tinted with a posh British accent that seemed right at home in a Harry Potter movie, snapped me out of my post-awakening dazed state almost immediately, making me squint with an inaudible hiss as the afternoon sun seared my retinas. For a heartbeat, I thought that maybe I'd forgotten to close the blinds before my Su...

Among all the Pokémon I had seen throughout my short time with the franchise, Koraidon and Miraidon both ranked among my favorites. Perhaps not the most favorite, as I had a hard time deciding that kind of thing from the ones that stood out the most to me, but they were definitely in the top ten.
If I had to explain why I liked them so much, I don’t think a single reason would’ve cut it. Those two had a lot going for them like good Stat spreads, good movepool, good en...

Author's Note: Changed Rockruff's name from Cavall to Koromaru in order to avoid confusion with Director Clavell later on down the line. Already edited this in Chapter 2.

"Let's start this off with a Mach Punch, Pawmi!" Nemona cried, and I barely had the time to curse mentally before the orange rodent picked up speed and took a leap straight at Koromaru with ...

If there was any silver lining to this whole mess I'd found myself in, it was that Arceus at least had the decency to drop me off in a place I was actually familiar with.
I'd washed up somewhere along the coastline of Cabo Poco, in the Paldea region. The Lighthouse that also doubled as the lab Arven grew up in was visible to me the moment I hiked up to the main road that connected the town to the neighboring areas, being a little bigger than I imagined.
'Maybe it's intentional...

It started as just another average day in the average high school that I attended.
The clock had struck one in the afternoon just a couple of minutes ago, and I was dumping my textbooks into my backpack about as fast as I could without causing any damage. My stomach growled as I pulled up the zipper, reminding me that I was in fact running late for my coveted lunch break. Unfortunately, it couldn't be helped- I had to ask my English teacher a few questions, and the man had a habit of pr...

Once again, I made a quick check to confirm that there wasn't anything I'd forgotten.
It was 10:30 AM, nearly a day after I'd first met Ai-Chan and Theresa and over 24 hours since I got sent to this world. After the latter had been humiliated to the point of fleeing, I had spent the rest of the day preparing for the upcoming Mission I had. That meant a multitude of things; going over the mission details with a fine-toothed comb, making sure all the supplies and fuel necessary were prope...

As much as I wished I could cash in my Dating Sim powers and exchange them for something that could actually help me survive this slaughterhouse of a world, I couldn't deny that it was pretty useful when we were on the same page.
I highly doubt that I would've been able to ingratiate myself with Himeko and Theresa with such little difficulty if the Game didn't pull its weight so well- maybe even a little too well in Theresa's case, as she was reaching Bond Level 2 from...

'He's a good one.'
That was the conclusion that Murata Himeko, A-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal and unofficial Second-In-Command of the Organization's Far East Branch, had reached about her newest colleague.
It was pretty rare for her to do something like this- that is, personally go and meet a new member of Schicksal, but this was a special case. After all, the person she'd been sent to make contact with was, despite being new, one of the highest ranked individuals on base b...

You know, being an Isekai Protagonist is a lot more stressful than one might think. I can guarantee that much from personal experience.
In hindsight, that should've been pretty obvious if you thought about it realistically for a bit, but I digress.
Getting sent to another world in the first place already destroys any chance you have of maintaining the side character status that you possessed on Earth, meaning you get involved in... adventures, whether you like it or not. ...
