Chapter 85 [Unedited Draft]

"Why didn't you tell me?" Sona asked, her voice carrying a slight pout as she crossed her arms. "Mou~"

She let out a small huff, turning her head away with that characteristic stubborn expression she wore when she was genuinely bothered but trying to maintain her composure.

And she was frikkin cute.

"It was a surprise," I said with a grin.

Sona's violet eyes softened slightly as she looked back at me. "I have to admit, I was really amazed, even the entire supernatural ...

Chapter 84 [Unedited Draft]

The familiar news jingle filled living rooms across the world as the evening broadcast began.

"Good evening, I'm Sarah Chen with Global News Network. Tonight, we continue our coverage of what many are calling the most significant technological announcement in human history."

The screen shifted to footage of the Mishima Corporation headquarters, still surrounded by crowds of reporters and curious onlookers two days after the conference.

"Two days ago, Leon Mishima, CEO of Mis...

Chapter 83 [Unedited Draft]

The Mishima Corporation headquarters in Tokyo was packed. Reporters from every major news outlet crowded the massive conference hall. Cameras were positioned at every angle. The world's most powerful business leaders sat in the front rows, all waiting with barely contained excitement.

Today was a massive day for the world. Not just the supernatural world, but the mundane world too.

Today was the long-awaited conference of the Mishima Corporation.

A few week...

Chapter 82

Asia stood in the doorway long after Issei disappeared into the darkness, her hand still half-raised from their goodbye. The warmth in her chest felt foreign—pleasant, but scary too but.. She liked it.

"It's been so long since I've had a friend," she whispered to the empty night.

The sound of heels clicking against stone made her spine go rigid.

"My, my. What do we have here?"

Asia spun around, her breath catching. Raynare stood in the shadows of the church, violet e...

Chapter 81

Issei shook his head violently, his face still burning red. "No, no, no! Not the time for that!" he muttered to himself, forcing his perverted thoughts aside. "She needs help, you idiot!"

He quickly crouched down and started gathering the scattered groceries—apples, bread, what looked like ingredients for dinner. "Here, let me help you with these," he said, carefully keeping his eyes focused on the task at hand and definitely not on... other things.

"Oh, thank you so much!" the ...

Chapter 80

The training room erupted in a shower of sparks as Vali's silver aura clashed against my golden energy shield. His fist connected with the barrier, sending shockwaves through the reinforced space.

"Not bad," I said, sliding back a few feet from the impact.  "But it's becoming predictable."

Vali smirked.  "Says the guy who's been blocking instead of attacking for the past ten minutes."

"I'm studying your patterns," I replied, launching myself forward with a burst of...

Chapter 79

The silence that followed Issei's departure hung heavy in the air. Rias remained perched on the edge of her desk, her expression thoughtful as she stared at the door he'd just walked through.

Akeno was the first to break the quiet, her usual playful demeanor replaced by genuine curiosity. "Ara ara, President," she said, moving to refill the empty teacup. "I have to ask about why are you so interested in recruiting Issei-kun?"

Kiba looked up from his position by the window, equally...

Chapter 78

Issei stared out the classroom window, his chin resting on his palm. The math teacher droned on about quadratic equations, but his voice seemed to come from somewhere far away. Issei's thoughts kept drifting back to last night, the supernatural world revelation, and the choice he still had to make.

Become a devil. Stay human. Get involved or walk away.

The weight of it all pressed down on his shoulders like a heavy blanket.

"Hyoudou!"

The sharp call snapped hi...

Chapter 77

After they left, I found myself with nothing particularly urgent to do. The evening's events had been draining in their own way, and with Issei's situation temporarily resolved, I had a rare moment of quiet.

I decided to check my Celestial Workshop.

Closing my eyes, I reached inward and felt the familiar sensation of the starry void opening around me. The Workshop materialized in all its cosmic glory—workbenches floating in space, tools drifting in organized chaos, and the soft ...

Chapter 76

"I don't know..." Issei finally replied after a moment of silence.

I smiled, understanding completely. Of course it wasn't an easy decision to make.

"That's perfectly reasonable," I said, leaning back in my chair. "This isn't something you need to decide right now. Take your time to think it through."

Rias looked like she wanted to say something, but I caught her eye and shook my head slightly. Pressuring him wouldn't help anyone.

"How long do I have?" Issei asked, his...

Chapter 75

"So let me get this straight," Issei said slowly, his voice rising with each word as he processed Leon's explanation. "Angels exist. Fallen angels exist. Devils exist. Gods exist—plural, GODS—and vampires are real too? Like, ALL of mythology is actually real?"

"Essentially, yes," Leon replied calmly, sitting across from him with Koneko curled up against his side like a protective cat.

Now they sat in Leon's opulent living room—a space that screamed wealth and refinement with...

Chapter 74

Days passed peacefully, but I knew better. Canon was starting.

Two days ago, Issei had been telling everyone in the classroom—including me—about his new girlfriend. The idiot had been practically glowing with excitement, bragging about how this beautiful girl named Yuuma had asked him out on a date. He'd shown us her picture on his phone, and I'd immediately recognized her.

Raynare. One of the fallen angels.

The moment I saw that image, I knew the timeline had begun. Iss...

Chapter 73

Three days had passed since the fight.

I sat in my usual seat in Kuoh Academy's classroom, trying to focus on the teacher's lecture about classical literature while my mind wandered to more pressing matters.

My wounds from the fight had completely healed that same day, thanks to the Senzu beans—they'd worked wonders.

I'd also given Vali a Senzu bean, not caring about the number of people who'd witnessed its effects as he ate it. Everyone had been astounded—their faces a ...

Chapter 72

Vali moved.

I barely had time to raise my spear before he was on me, draconic claws slashing through the air where my head had been a microsecond before. His speed was way faster than before,

This was the power of a Heavenly Dragon unleashed.

I spun away, fire trailing from my spear as I carved a defensive arc through the air. The flames that had been burning white-hot suddenly felt inadequate against the sheer presence radiating from the transformed White Dragon Emperor. 2025-08-11 13:34:14 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 71

Juggernaut Drive.

The forbidden technique that temporarily removed the seal on the Twin Dragon Longinus, granting power that rivaled gods at the cost of sanity and life force.

Sona has read about this once in the archives of the Sitri family library, but witnessing it was an entirely different experience.

She couldn't help but grasp the railings where she stood as waves of draconic power—mixed with raw demonic energy—washed over the st...

Chapter 70 

Vali's helmeted head tilted slightly. When he spoke, his voice carried the echo of dragon roar. "That’s new. Let’s test it out."

He moved faster than before, one moment he was across the arena, the next his armored fist was inches from my face.

I brought my spear up to block. Sacred fire met divine metal in an explosion of light and sound that shook the entire colosseum.

"Divide," came the mechanical voice from his armor.

I felt the drain again, but this time somet...

Chapter 69 (Nice)

The moment Michael's hand dropped, time seemed to slow.

I felt my mana surge through my body like lightning, every nerve ending crackling with energy. The familiar warmth of the Body of the Everflame cultivation flowing through my enhanced physique with my muscles responding with precision.

The NZT formula had sharpened my awareness to a razor's edge, letting me process the massive arena, the thousands of spectators, and most importantly, every micro-expression and movements on Va...

Chapter 68

I stared at the various spectators around me.

Kuroka teleported me to the venue this morning, well after another steamy morning sex.

My first thoughts as I arrived was.

Seriously. What the hell?

I realize how much I underestimated Sona’s warning about how a lot of important people are gonna watch.

We were on some isolated island somewhere between Japan and Hawaii, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. And it wasn't just any island—there is a massive arena here....

Chapter 67

Unknown to Leon, his upcoming battle with Vali the White Dragon Emperor, has spread throughout the entire supernatural world. Thanks indirectly to a certain black cat.

It had begun innocently enough. Like she said, Kuroka had mentioned the fight to Arthur and the other two Bikou and Le Fay. The blonde knight had raised an eyebrow at the news, but said nothing more than a simple "interesting." Bikou just grinned and muttered something about finally getting to see what all the fuss...

Quick Update

Hey everyone! These past few days have been pretty hectic at work and I haven’t had the time to sit down and write a chapter.

I wasn’t also able to post a chapter last night or even tonight due to how busy things are.

Really sorry for the delay. I appreciate your patience, and I’ll have a new chapter up tomorrow. Thanks as always for the support!

Chapter 66

Loki sat on the edge of his bed, staring at the dark stone walls of his chambers. Three weeks since Leon Mishima had killed his children. Three weeks since that damn sword had turned everything to ash. It’s been weeks stuck in his own realm, hiding like some wounded animal.

Three weeks of replaying that fight over and over. Watching his sons charge in like they were invincible. 

And they'd burned. All of them. While he ran away.

Loki laughed, but it came out wrong. Bi...

Chapter 65

Seeing I made no real progress in the Body of the Everflame cultivation. I decided to tackle something productive. The anticipation was eating at me, and I needed a distraction that would actually advance my goals.

With nothing else to do until tomorrow's fight, I decided to check on my other projects. 

The failed cultivation session had left me restless, and examining my work in the Celestial Workshop always helped clear my head.

I c...

Chapter 64

I quickly threw on some clothes, my mind racing as I thought about Vali's unexpected visit.

Vali Lucifer. The White Dragon Emperor.

Our relationship was... complicated.

Back when things were still good between Azazel and me, Vali had been a semi-regular visitor to the mansion.

We'd developed a routine of sorts. Every few weeks, Vali would show up, we'd beat the hell out of each other in the training facility, and then he'd disappear again. He wasn't much for conversati...

Later that night, I was hunched over my desk when a familiar voice purred from the shadows.

"Working late again, nya?"

The sense of déjà vu was immediate. This was exactly how we'd met last time.

"Kuroka," I said, finally looking up from my work.

Kuroka stepped out of the darkness near my bookshelf, and despite everything...

I straightened up, keeping my hands visible and my voice calm. "Hello again, Serafall-sama."

"Leon-kun!" She clapped her hands together, bouncing on her toes. "How wonderful to see you again!”

Sona had gone completely rigid beside me, her face cycling through about fifteen different shades of red. "Onee-sama”

She paused, looki...

I leaned on my chair as I stared at the stack of papers on my desk.

It’s been three weeks since I turned Kokabiel into ash in the alpine mountains.

"Leon?" Rossweisse's voice came from the doorway.

"Come in."

She walked in with a stack of files, but instead of the formal distance she used to keep, she came right over to ...

Chapter 60

I stood by the window, looking out at the city lights while nursing a cup of coffee that had long since gone cold.

The aftermath of Kokabiel's death had rippled through the supernatural world faster than I'd expected. Within hours of our return to the city, my phone had started buzzing with calls from faction representatives, business partners, and entities I'd never even heard of.

The Grigori had issued a formal statement distancing themselves from Kokabiel's actions while expres...

Spin to Win - Starting in One Piece [Draft]

Chapter 1: New Marine, Old World

I stared at the blue cap in my hands. The seagull emblem looked back at me like it was judging my life choices.

"Well, shit."

The memories hit me all at once when I woke up this morning. Two sets of them, actually. My old life - whoever I used to be - felt like a dream now. But Vincent? His memories were crystal clear, and they hurt like hell.

I was born in a small fishing village on Coral Bay Island in the East Blue....

Quick update

Hey everyone!

I’ve been writing a One Piece fanfic over the past few days!

It kinda started as a fun little side project, but it’s actually been super helpful for coming up with new ideas for Deus Ex Machina.

For now, I’m planning to post the One Piece fic only here on Patreon for the meantime. For now, this’ll be a chill side project — I don’t have a set release schedule or anything. I’ll just write and post whenever the mood hits me...

Chapter 59

The pain in her side felt like fire spreading through her veins.

Rossweisse hung from the shackles, her wrists raw from struggling against the enchanted bonds. Every breath sent fresh agony through her ribs where the fallen angel had cracked them with his light spear. Blood dripped steadily from the cut on her forehead, painting dark stains on the stone floor below.

She'd been so stupid.

The memory played over and over in her mind like a nightmare she couldn't wake up from. ...
