There were a few new staff members in the Zhuoge Toy Store.
Yes, due to Zhuoge and his crew’s somewhat limited cultural knowledge, he eventually just named the store after himself.
After all, the Akleits across the street had done the same thing.
Zhuoge, being one of the continent’s most recognizable villains, thought the name had an ironic charm. A toy store called “Zhuoge” felt absurd and tongue-in-cheek—perfectly expressing the store owner’s am...

Aisha hadn’t slept this comfortably in ages.
Sure, the Dragon’s Nest was nice, but it wasn’t a human city. It always lacked a certain sense of security.
And there weren’t any goblins or ghosts sleeping next to her there. Not that she was prejudiced or anything—but honestly, they were creepy as hell.
She stretched contentedly.
Warm sunlight poured in from the left and bathed the blanket, instantly lifting her mood.
On the right... a wrink...

"What do you think she's up to?"
In a lavishly decorated study where gilded cherubs peered from every corner and velvet curtains hung heavy with dust, Baron Bain shifted his considerable bulk. His chest sagged to his belly, his belly spilled over his thighs, and those thighs—marbled with fat like expensive beef—filled the ornate chair to its breaking point. He dabbed at his glistening forehead with a monogrammed handkerchief already damp with sweat, the fabric darkened in patches.

"Mmm—"
The soft sound escaped Aisha's lips as consciousness returned, that distinctive noise girls make when drifting from dreams to reality. She rubbed her eyes, vision clearing to reveal crimson scales glinting in the morning light.
A red dragon?
Her heart jolted before memory caught up. Oh, right. It's Zorco.
Ten days since her abduction, and she still hadn't acclimated to having a dragon as a business partner. Especially one determined to enter Twinspire...

Ever since the goddess of magic came for revenge, Zuo Teng had become a very cautious dragon.
Aisha, of course, wasn't just some random person he grabbed off the street.
Illusionists were rare among mages—less practical than offensive magic, less lucrative than enchanting or alchemy, and not as mysterious or respected as divination. Hardly anyone studied it.
There were only a few hundred registered illusionists in the entire Mage Association.

Aisha never imagined that after a routine day defeating kobolds, with bread crumbs still clinging to her lips and victory songs half-finished in her throat, she'd suddenly find herself snatched from the earth by massive talons.
And not just any kidnapper—the most notorious dragon in the realm:
A Red Dragon.
Cracked obsidian horns jutting from its skull.
Crimson scales shimmering like fresh blood in sunlight.
Wings that seemed to burn the very air they ...

The common room of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters was rarely this quiet. Thirty-seven students of various ages sat cross-legged on the floor or perched anxiously on furniture, eyes fixed on the massive television screen dominating the wall. Even the youngest children, who normally couldn't sit still for more than five minutes, were motionless, transfixed by the breaking news broadcast.

The polished marble floors of the West Wing's corridor reflected the overhead lights in perfect symmetry, creating the illusion of walking between two worlds. General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross moved with military precision, his decorations clinking softly against his dress uniform.

The Danger Room shimmered under the soft azure glow of force-field barriers, energy matrices pulsing along hexagonal patterns that lined the walls. Holographic projectors hummed with quiet intensity, ready to manifest any challenge programmed into the X-Men's most advanced training facility.

Max let out a long sigh as he stretched his arms overhead, the satisfying pop of his shoulder joints punctuating the silent room as exhaustion settled deep into his muscles. The soft hum of his computer's cooling system filled the dimly lit space with its familiar white noise, a sound he'd grown so accustomed to that silence felt unnatural. The monitor's blue glow illuminated his tired face, still displaying the leaderboard from the game development exam—Rank 28, his name pulsing softly wit...

Jason Todd fired his grappling hook and leapt from the aircraft. Using gravity to his advantage, he crashed through the top floor's glass window with a powerful kick and stormed into Bruce Wayne's office.

Max and Sera emerged from the C-shaped building, squinting as their eyes adjusted to the bright sunlight after the dim interior. Their backpacks bulged with precious loot—ammunition that clinked softly with each step, medical supplies hastily stuffed into side pockets, and the reassuring weight of grenades hanging from their tactical vests. The military base sprawled behind them, once a hub of frantic activity now eerily silent except for the occasional creak of metal structures expanding i...

A blinding radiance erupted from where Alex stood, so pure it caused Mephisto to recoil with a hiss of pain. The light reconfigured into...

Max was heading toward the ruins of his rental house.
The new base was just an empty shell, needing a ton of work to make it livable. At the end of the day, it all came down to one thing: money.
And Max… he was just a broke twelve-year-old kid.
Sigh, a long road ahead.

Clearly, someone who laughed like that was way out of the ordinary!
