Working Out and Getting Infested

While the rest of the new recruits lagged behind I ran ahead with ease, my stamina had been boosted to obscene levels and I noticed the Captain eyeing me with a look of intrigue. I did a few more laps around the yard before he approached me with a jog causing me to stop with interest.

"Let's keep moving while we speak, I need to get my blood warm anyways." I gave a nod and picked up the pace again as we lightly jogged next to each other.

"You seem to have prepared quite a lot for ...

Foolish Antics

She was my fellow fool? ONE OF MY PEOPLE! I stood stock still for a moment causing her to give me a faintly concerned look. Then I put my hands on her shoulders and she froze as her hand twitched. Then tears poured out of my eyes and her expression distorted in complete dumbfoundment.

“My people . . .” I had found a fellow Fool! My fellow Shounen Protagonist in Training! 

“W-what?”

“THE TIME HAS COME FOR THE WORLD TO BEAR WITNESS TO A PAIR OF FOOLS!” I shout...

What is Everyone Looking Forward too?

This may or may not affect my writing to be completely honest, but I'm very curious which story of mine is your favorite/the one you are hoping has the next update! I tend to get fixated on one story and make a bunch of chapters for it until another sucks me in so this is some good data collection!

A Meeting of Fools

I hadn't fully understood why Rose was the Temperance arcana before that interaction, but it all made sense now. Temperance was restraint. While she had told me to restrain myself from doing stupid things Temperance also had another vital component, those of the Temperance arcana often are restraining themselves from a specific event or series of events in their life.

Rose had been hurt before, by what I wasn’t exactly certain but I could infer that it was most likely adventurers bein...

The First Challenge

I moved down the hallway and the Dungeon didn’t seem to be giving me too much of a challenge. There was the occasional Goblin here and there, but after the ten Kobolds I guess it decided I wasn’t worth the trouble until I got down to the next floor.

It had been an hour long quest of finding those stairs but I did in fact find them after my search. I hadn’t run into any other adventurer’s and I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. The walls remained a light blue...

Potion Seller . . .

I once again woke up with the Hearth Goddess by my side. She held me tightly and I held her back as well. Her body heat sent me a soft sensation that helped me relax . . . but the day waits for no one! I was fully rested so it was time to get started.

However today I wouldn’t awaken the sleeping Sun from her rest, instead I lightly pushed some of the hair out of her mouth as it seemed that some had somehow gotten in. She really is cute like this. 

I also promised her that I...

Adventure Prep is an Adventure Itself

I’d woken up fully recharged and ready for the day. Hestia was like a large sloth with the way she clung to me while asleep. I’d jumped out of bed and she let out a strangled noise as I threw my shirt on and softly shook her awake.

“Goddess! We have to go shopping!”

“A-are the stores even awake right now!?” I blinked. We were in the basement so I couldn’t see outside, but my internal clock always woke me up bright and early at 5:15 in the morning. I pondered it for a...

Getting Paid

I’d walked through the city of Orario with Hestia at my side. I had a Guild to cash in my check at! There was one thing in this world I swore I’d defeat no matter what. That was debt! My older cousin taught me such wisdom as though she were a great sage. That great sage taught me that no evil is greater than Student Loan Debt! I had taken a debt now, and I had to repay it as soon as possible before it became the final boss of the Dungeon!

“So Goddess do you know how much all of th...

Alice in Wonderland- I mean the Dark Flame Manor

I’d gone back to sleep in order to fully heal my wounds, however my sleep was interrupted by my mother saying I had a visitor. I wonder who it could be? Alright I’m not that stupid, it was pretty obvious who it was.

Utena had come inside and I gave her a tired smile as I had just woken up.

“I’m already feeling better-” She gave me a warm hug causing me no pain despite the tightness. 

“I’m happy you got better so quickly . . .” she blushes as she holds me...

Alien Massacre

“Where are you three coming from?” 

“I’m not dealing with this.” I give the man with his arms crossed a weird look before I start flying towards the battlefield. I’m not wasting my time dealing with this guy when I have people to save.

“Well fuck you too I guess!” Through the portal the aliens start marching, massive lightning rods rapidly being deployed causing my eyes to widen. God dammit, they fucking prepared for me! 

I rocket to the ground and ...

A Familiar Face

Staring at the large built man I nearly went in for the kill on instinct. I’d been through hell for the last four hours with my crew and coming across a villain was not on my to do list for the day.

“You're one of our people you know? I just want to treat you to a meal today, nothing binding you to the Empire.” 

I know this song and dance. He wants to come with him nicely and not so subtly get me to join his group. I’ll be walking into a room with more than one cape a...

The First Descent

The massive tower in the distance was actually not that far away. It was a landmark in this massive city that Hestia had informed me was named Orario. The city wasn’t exactly bustling at this hour but I could still see the life within.

“So Goddess are you going to go inside of the Dungeon with me?” I gave the petite woman a soft smile but behind my eyes was a hope that she would say no. I don’t want a Goddess running around instant killing every monster! There would be no point ...

"Just one Quick Adventure"

“Kiwi-chan~ you did something very bad.” I transformed into Magia Baiser on instinct, the injured girl’s face paled and she looked confused and started at me all the while. I gently lifted her face with a hand and locked eyes with her.

I’d considered punishing her but it would seem that Veil already did that for me . . . honestly that wouldn’t stop me but I don’t want to hurt her when she’s already barely standing from her injuries. She blushed as I stared deep in...

You Really are a Reliable Advisor

We’d made it to the guide after about half an hour. Hestia was not the most reliable when being carted around and I ended up getting lost before my Sun guided my way to the guild! As we arrived at the guild the Sun peeked over the horizon. A perfect mirror to our first encounter!

Hestia’s eyes seemed to spin as I set her back on the ground, her heart slammed in her chest and I helped her regain her balance after a moment of her footing becoming uneven on the pathway to the guild. 2025-05-26 22:49:53 +0000 UTC View Post

Getting a Phone is Harder than I Thought!

I gave a small stretch as I rubbed my eyes and pushed the healing notification out of my view. Looking at the healing alert after noticing its effects feels way more satisfying than looking at it after basically nothing has actually changed. It was Sunday now, and I had the day off from anything crazy happening.

Today I should get a phone. I go to the kitchen and find no one but myself. Oh yeah, the weekends are really busy at the tea shop. Guess I can help Mom with that for a while bef...

The Journey Begins

Ow. Famous last words. Seriously, do you have any idea how many humans have died after that simple announcement of pain? The instinctual response to pain is followed by eternal darkness. It sucks that I'm now part of that number but what could I do about it? 

I was just a guy born into an ordinary world, with no epic power system, no secret techniques, and no badass martial arts. It was a shame but that's the hand I was dealt, so after getting hit by a truck I suppose my body chose...

Escaping the Storm, to Run into Another

The creature was sent flying backwards from a massive blast of force. The young boy struck it in the chest with a beastial roar I couldn’t describe. My lance hit nothing but wood as the creature was sent flying backwards.

[Secret Objective Completed: Awaken the Salt Water Heir]

The what now? The kid's body was warping with the bending of bone and flesh. Skin turned grey, eyes narrowed into slits and gills ripped forth from his neck.

He seemed to become a m...
