2 Setting the Stage

I know I said I was gonna keep focusing on Ten shadows, and I have written a bit over a quarter of the next chap for it, but this fic is just fun and my muse is apprently loving it, so here, have another 10k chapter of this :P

I'm going to have to give this it's own collection if I make another chap, cuz it clearly doesn't wanna be a one shot lol

Overpowered Delusional Dumbass Repeatedly Beats Himself Up And Gaslights The World Into Thanking Him For It.

A/N: Yo, so this is a lil thing I cooked up at a friend's request. I've read plenty of power manipulator, and other op worm fics, but I feel like they're all either awful or way too short. On account of the opness and everything.

The idea with this fic is that it will be an un-nerfed power manipulator, but with an mc will take their time instead of rofl stomping everything. Should be fun :)

So yeah, 10k word opening chapter for a wormfic....

40 Sukuna Gets Side-Quests Too. They're Just More Violent

Suzuka Gozen had a plan. It was even a good plan. A great plan. The best plan.

See, she is a thief. An amazing thief. The best!

So naturally, when she heard that a pair of Oni twins had gathered a hoard of treasure and hidden it away in their mountain behind a horde of Oni minions, well, how could she say no? Such opportunities are rare. It all sounded like easy profit to her.

So what if she ended up getting caught? That wasn't her fault. She totally would have been...

39 Yet Another Goodbye

Kamo no Yasunori rises from his futon with a yawn. He stretches his arms over his head and lets out a satisfied groan.

With half bleary eyes, he rises and goes through the usual motions until he finds himself sitting on his balcony, watching the world pass them by below.

A steaming cup is set in front of him, and he lets out a sigh once he sips the warm tea.

Abruptly, and without any cause, Yasunori starts to smile, and then he starts to laugh. Chuckling to himself in the si...

Shibuya Omake: Close.

Just a heads up. I originally wanted this omake to be like 3 chapters long, which it kinda now is. However, I was assuming that it would end by 3, with narauko bringing jjk to a swift end.

So, spoiler, there is no Narauko/Sukuna fight yet. However, if it's any consolation, the idea I have in mind for their fight is cool af imo, and I think literally no one has even been close to guessing what I've got planned :)

(I'm going back to the main story now Zarak, don't yell at me)

Shibuya Omake: Part 2

Zen'in Maki

The self professed Zen'in no Narauko blinks into the awkward silence that follows his declaration. But what are they supposed to say?

There are two possibilities before them. Either this man is not Zen'in no Narauko and is lying. Or, they truly are standing in front of the Zen'in no Narauko, founder of the Zen'in clan, equal to Sukuna, the King of Sorcerers himself back from the dead.

Omake poll

on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest, how mad would you be if the part 2 of the omake ends at a cliffhanger right before Narauko and Sukuna meet? I have a feeling I already know the answer, but I'm currently at that part in the chapter and putting some thought in how to best go about it.

Provided I don't get any writer's block, I should have the chapter done today (tomorrow technically cuz it's midnight) either way. so look forward to that.

38 Chain-Quest Concludes!

Standing once more under the light of the moon, I meet Kazuro's intense stare with a smile. Thanks to my Technique, I assume that's the reason anyway, I've never had any trouble seeing in the dark in this life, so I'm perfectly capable of seeing the excitement clear on Kazuro's face.

It's kind of weird actually. Kazuro is a Kappa and has a beak. How in Yomi can I tell what his expression means? It's nothing like the human equivalent.

I can only assume that it's because his aura is...

37 Halfway There

The dim light of Tsukuyomi's palace is all that illuminates the midnight world, and Setsura takes a moment to enjoy a cool breeze as it passes.

Arrayed around her, she has every Shiroiwa Yuki-onna above Mid-class in strength gathered together, and on the opposite side of the lake, she can see the same is true of the Kappa.

In the centre of the lake, Narauko stands atop the unnaturally still water. Waiting.

She knows that he wanted this to be a festival, but they would be bey...

Another day another morning.

Kane rolls over on his bed and fumbles about blindly for a moment until he finds his phone. When he does, he thumbs along the edges until he finds the power button to turn off the damn alarm drilling into his skull.

Collapsing back into his mattress as if the mere act of turning off his alarm was enough to drain him completely, he toys with the idea of just going back to sleep.

He knows that he won't, but ...

Sorry about missing an upload, but I accidentally deleted like half a chapter and that shit is incredibly demotivating like you wouldn't believe and kicked me into a bit of a depressive slump for a bit. I'm cool now tho, probably. As well as I can be anyway, my head's all sorts of fucked up lol.

35 Chain-Quest Advances!

It took a little bit of time, but soon enough I once more found myself walking through that same forest on the human side of that magical ice portal pond thing.

I got the sense that the Yuki-onna were generally just happy for me to not be there anymore. I also got the sense that they don't really hold much faith that there can be any kind of peace with the Kappa.

They didn't even write like a letter or something for me to bring with me. Shirokoaka and Setsura basically just gave m...

Sitting inside of a large open room with only a single long table taking up the floorspace, and a number of decorative cloths on the walls, I accept the cup of ice cold water offered to me with a grateful smile.

"Again, I must apologise," I say, speaking to Setsura and Shirokoaka, who are both sitting opposite me, with an array of guards around the room. "I do not know what came over me."

And I really, truly don't. It's just that when I heard that name, Murasaki...

Omake: Shibuya Part 0

A/N: He~llo! Dear readers!

So, this Omake was way more popular than I ever expected it would be. It was literally just a throwaway 'here's something cool', which is why I didn't even bother starting at the beginning.

I hate not starting at the beginning. Chronology and continuity is very important to me.

So here's Shibuya 0, the prequel. Next omake chap will have the stuff y'all have actually been asking for lmao, idk when I'll write it tho.

33 Post Side-Quest Cutscene

When Setsura heard that her adorable and talented little sister had gone missing, she was on her way to a meeting with the Daiyōkai Nurarihyon. He had reached out to her clan for a discussion, and as the strongest Yuki-onna of her clan, she was chosen to head this delegation.

They don't know what the Daiyōkai is scheming, but the Elders of the village warned her to be cautious. Truthfully, it would be preferable to not get involved with whatever schemes are in play when they involve D...

32 Side-Quest Completed!

Looking between the kid and the turtle guy, I almost don't regret losing the bet with Kamo-Sensei.

My Yōkai knowledge is a little rusty, or rather, I just don't know a lot. But lucky for me, these two are pretty recognisable. The kid is probably a Yuki-onna. A snow woman. Though, perhaps Yuki-onago is more accurate, since she is more of a girl than a woman.

I'll just call her Yukihime instead, cuz what little girl doesn't like being called a princess?

On the afternoon of the fourth day, I find myself sitting on my balcony, enjoying the warmth of the sun on my face contrasted with the breeze of passing air as we continue ever onwards towards the capital.

However, I am not merely just enjoying the weather. I am also busy with a small project.

See, in my last life, there wasn't much of anything that I'd accomplished or could be proud of. There is a reason that I very rarely choose to think back to that life. Why I am so content to...

"I must say, while I knew Kiyohara-san's strength and have heard plenty a rumour about your own, I still find myself taken aback by what an entertaining spar that was."

Turning my attention away from the women in my arms, I tilt my head Dōman's way at his words.

"How so?" I ask. "What were you expecting of it?"

"I was expecting Kiyohara-san to either lose quickly, or for you to lose quickly," Dōman quickly answers without much care for censure, a wry smile about his lips. ...

"I somehow don't think that will help me much," Narauko says with a smile, tucking his hands into his sleeves from where he stands opposite her.

A/N: If you're the type to listen to music while reading, I recommend going to your spotify or yt or whatever and getting the song 'Can't take my eyes off you' prepared for when Narauko's door is opened. It's literally the perfect song for him. Like, if he had a theme song, this'd be it, the lyrics are just so perfect I wanna scream lol.

This flying fortress is pretty badass. I mean, that should be obvious, right? Giant fancy building being carried through the sky by four giant cranes is the kind of thing that would struggle to be lame.

My room is also pretty nice, about as fancy as my room in the school. A part of me still can't help but compare the difference in floorspace between what I've been living with in this life compared to my last.

Hell, in my last life I'd lived in places where I couldn't even stretch ...

Cursed Energy is really interesting.

It's probably redundant at this point for me to say that. It should really be one of those things that goes without saying, but I feel like it still needs to be said anyway.

Because Cursed Energy really is interesting.

In my time here in Jujutsu school, the lessons, sparse as they have been, have all been about combat, Innate Techniques, Barrier Techniques and miscellaneous skills, like sensing Cursed Energy or refining Reinforcement.

Non-Canon Omake

A/N: CONTEXT!! This is an Omake set in a pure JJK world. It's a what if for if the world Narauko was born in was jut pure JJK, no crossovers. Meaning that while there are some very minor kinda spoilers inside, everything here is still strictly non-canon. Though it does hint at things that are gonna happen in the future of the fic.

I say hint, but it's hardly as subtle as my usual foreshadowing. (Btw, I'm pretty sure like 65% of my foreshadowing goes unnoticed lol, ...

It turns out that Curses don't have any respect for other people's schedules, so there being an event coming up hasn't changed the fact that I still need to do my job.

In a barren land of nothing but damp earth and endless rain, two Sorcerers and one Curse stand against each other.

It's pretty cinematic. I really wish I had a camera. I need to invent one already.

As a Shikigami user myself, I am naturally aware that the greatest advantage of outnumbering your foe is the ability to apply constant pressure, such that they do not have any time to think or counter.

With that in mind, I quickly speak up before, Michizane can take the initiative...
