"Talk about a tough situation."
Flamelle glances up at Jorick's muttered words only briefly before her attention returns to what is most important.
Ever since first encountering Kette, Flamelle's life has been a non-stop run of shocks and surprises one after another like an endless line of sucker punches.
Most recently, paying such an absurd amount of money just for a rail ticket without even batting an eye. Then getting into an argument and threatening a Cohenberg ...

Walking to meet with the rest with Kamo-Sensei, we wound up just talking, and the topic naturally found its way to Cursed Techniques fairly quick.
"Okay, but couldn't you just do away with the entire process in favour of a simple yes/no type of activation?" I ask, thinking about how I only need a hand ...

Yo! So this is really short cuz it's more a concept of an idea rather than anything else. This is an idea I've been toying with for honestly quite a while, cuz I like Slay the Spire as a game a lot and wound up thinking how to make it into a fanfic, thus we have this.
I even made wheels to spin for cards an stuff and card rarity sorted by encounter type and everything.
I'd like to write more of it, but idk if I'll really have the time or m...

Hello everyone, I would like to start by saying fuck you vakire. I was perfectly happy not writing this you rat fuck and now I've lost like 5 hours of my day, bastard.
Other than that tho, this is a one-shot for an idea I've had brewing for years about how perfect Tanya the Evil is to be crossed with the criminally underused fandom of Campione!
So if you know nothing of Campione! then all that you need to know is that it is an anime about Godslayers (mc is the 7th of them) who gai...

Thankfully, things did calm down after the whole incident. The Noble and his lot kept to their side of the carriage, leaving Kierra some peace to start trying to come up with training exercises that Flamelle can do to improve.
Eventually, enough time passed that even the allure of advanced Magic couldn't keep Flamelle up.
Well, that's not really true. Kierra made the girl get some sleep once it hit midnight.
Unlike Kierra who is used to having the worst sleep schedule, perk...

My talk with Taira no Tadatsune honestly left me in a bit of a mood, I can admit that much. Which is how I found myself sitting concealed on the roof of my assigned room, staring at the setting sun lost in thought.
It is a scene that is only interrupted when I feel a familiar presence approaching, and I don't bother to turn my head as Kamo-Sensei comes and sits by my side.
"Do you have any idea how hard it can be to find you?" He begins, not waiting for a response. "I wouldn't hav...

Watching Flamelle walk beside her, or perhaps skip would be more accurate with how she seems to be bouncing with childish joy, Kierra finds herself glad that she went along with that whole diversion.
Sure, it sucked for her personally, but she's an adult, it's not that bit of a deal. Worth it, considering the near infectious nature of Flamelle's happiness.
The girl didn't win, naturally, but that wasn't the point in the first place. She got to have some fun, and it'd have been cru...

It's pretty late by the time I make it back to my room. Late enough to be early, going by the lightening of the sky. Though not so late that the sun has yet started to rise, so I should be able to have at least an hour or two to nap.
I'm still feeling all that Evil Saké I had. I could really do with a nap.
Granted, I could almost certainly just use Reverse Cursed Technique to put myself back into peak condition, but why would I want to do that? I am a human, I do not want to beco...

I may have had a little bit too much saké.
The thought filters through the haze in my mind as I sit under the night sky, straddling the wall of a noble's manor with a gourd of Evil Saké in one hand.
I don't really remember how I did it, but at some point I started experimenting with Cursed Energy and saké and wound up making this dark and twisted brew. No clue how, but it seems to be doing a good job getting me drunk.
That being said, Yoshikane tried a sip and started con...

Flamelle finds her eyes discretely turning to study Mistress Kette. They are both hunched over her notes, focused on the work as they have been for an hour now. However, in this time, Flamelle has found her admiration for the smaller woman rising and rising every minute.
She knew, intellectually, that having the personal tutelage of such a high level Mage, maybe even an Archmage, would be superior to the regular instructors of the Institute. She knew that much.
But somehow, she ca...

Following her teacher out of the Adventurer's Guild, Flamelle finds herself in a daze for the second time in as many days, if for a vastly different reason this time.

My eyes pan out. Lidded and low.
The room is dark. Severe. Bereft of blue sky or shining stars.
Smoke hangs heavily in the air, clouding above as a fog, disguising what lies beyond in myth.
Seated casually on a cushion, one elbow resting on the low table in front of me and holding my chin in palm, I bring my free hand to my lips. A long drag of my new kiseru is had, and a new cloud of fog is added to the sky.
My eyes pan out. Lidded and low.

Flamelle felt in a daze as she only half heard the guard captain and Kette—her apparent new master?—Talking about measures to keep the prisoners secured.
Frankly, so much has happened in such a short amount of time that she is still processing it all.

It might be a bit info dumpy in some parts, but at least it's done, which means that if I somehow manage to sustain motivation for writing this out then the following chapters will be more about moving the story forward, since I can just add the Lore in small hints from here on.

So, I read this novel called "New Life As A Max Level Archmage" recently, and it has filled my head with thoughts.
Truth be told, the whole 'isekai into video game character in the future of the game world' trope (is there a shorthand for that?) might just be my single most favourite trope. I love the genre, but there are like 3 that are even halfway decent.
Almost every story that follows this trope is just awful to the extreme and it's really depres...

The garden Izumi eventually leads me to is somewhat out of the way. Rather than another open square inside of the building complex, she led me down a small branching path somewhere between the main complex we were assigned to and the complex the court nobles seem to be staying at.

The warm, early morning sun bathes the pristine corridor in soft light through the paper windows on her right as Izumi Shikibu walks at a steady clip. Head straight and arms folded neatly before her.
However, unlike the quiet of the servants silently bustling about in the early hour, a soft, ethereal sound follows her as she hums a harmonic melody. The tones are quiet, barely audible even to the servants that pass her directly, for she is only humming for herself and not to the benefit ...

Shortly after Narauko and the upper years left, she and the rest all got assigned various missions. It wasn't unsurprising—less manpower means more work for everyone else—but this time of the year is hardly the most active, so it isn't a big deal really.
Right now, she is just doing a routine exorcism. Normally this duty would...

Tamamo's mind rouses slowly. Sluggish.
Disjointed thoughts steadily gathering together as she rises from darkness until her mind clears enough to notice that she is awake.
Her eyes flutter open, a faint fogginess still clinging to her mind. A pleasant soreness radiates from her body, exhaustion rapidly fading into alacrity.
A pleasant scent wafts under her nose as her eyes clear enough to note the familiar tapestry of the ceiling above her. That of the same room that she met...
