A/N: Finally caught up to 20 Chaps. I'm implementing my old system and leave 10 Chaps reserved for C-Tier and Above. Every 2 Chaps I'll unlock one for those who rank lower, and after I manage to stockpile those 10, I'll change to 1:1.
Perched above even the V.I.P. section, Van-Fem’s office is about the same size as the dump I used...
(In the Distant Future.)
Slapped dead in the heart of Terrania, Mount Prometheus is a colossal rock formation where waterfalls, flora, and mystical beasts thrive; all nourished by the spilling Ambrosia of the God who supposedly rests upon its peak.
They need neither food nor drink, sustained solely by the Slumbering God’s Essence.
Many of these plants and animals were once ordinary, but the [Grace] of the God-King has mutated them until they possess the...
The most exclusive nightclub in town is situated halfway across the city and is known for having a line, typically comprised of at least a dozen guests, a third of whom are actually paid actors and actresses meant to maintain the establishment’s elite reputation. By the time we finally get inside, all the VIP tables are fully booked. Fortunately, I manage to secure one of the smaller, more secluded tables for a hefty price.
The place is spacious, with high ceilings that allow for ple...
Compared to the ‘Backbone,’ the ‘Brain’ is much easier to build.
You wouldn’t believe how eager scientists, engineers, doctors, and the like are to work for me once they see the stuff I have in store—and no, not that ‘stuff.’
Honestly, I already have the funds to start producing my own medications and mass-produce cybernetics, but I want to keep the best for my people.
The rest of the ‘peasants’ can have the standard commercial versions.
A/N: Sorry for the delay, I’m still fixing up my new place. It looked abandoned at first so rent’s cheap, but it’s semi-livable now. Shared bathroom though, unfortunately. It should be done in 3 days, and I can return to my usual schedule.
Leslie groans in agony, his vision flickering violently while he’s being carried away on an unexpectedly soft back.
“You’re unwell, human. Rest. His Lordship has need of you.” Echoes a velvety voice tha...
A/N: Lily's summary will be written later as Omakes instead, since I don't want to flood the main story with sex.
As a child, I always dreamed of sitting in a spinning chair in the dark with a cat on my lap so I can reveal myself in a classic, cheesy B-movie fashion.
Today, I’ve gotten my wish… Multiple times to boot!
Unfortunately, even that can’t save my dampened mood.
Half the people on the list are, predictably, six fe...
My hand weakly reaches for the steaming cup of hot chocolate.
It’s not what I asked for—I wanted a cup of black coffee so thick it might as well be syrup, but Bailey—the blonde nursing major warned I’d be risking a stroke if I pumped that much caffeine into my system, especially after the intense sex marathon we had.
“Do you want anything else?”
I glance at Bailey and chuckle. “What are you, a maid?”
“I’m studying to be a nurse, so yeah… Kind...
My first week in London vanished in a flash, yet Gil was still nowhere to be found.
While her sudden disappearances were practically an expected ritual at this point, a sliver of worry still managed to worm its way through my usual indifference.
The British Isles were central to the Age of Fae’s downfall—a consequence, I suspected, of Artoria’s slumber and the return of the Sword of Promised Victory to the Lady of the Lake.
London itself was more than just the To...
A/N: Leo might get his hands on the Divine Filaments earlier than expected.
The human body is a living ecosystem, teeming with trillions of bacteria. Some beneficial, some not. I usually prefer not to dwell on it. It’s unsettling enough knowing they’re there, but ever since I could see them with microscopic clarity, it’s enough to turn even my stomach. Quite the feat, given my obsession with horror in general.
Needless to say, to find myself sudde...
A/N: Sorry for the delay. Been a hectic few days, first the Yogi storm, constant rain and now a flood. I even get a free dog out of the ordeal, a mix of different breeds of Belgium Sheperds. Girl just wandered into my home all drenched… 3 Birds, 2 cats and now 1 dog, yikes. Thankfully she’s young, about 3 months old so she won’t fight with my cats. She was probably forgotten in the flood. Her collar was ripped apart when I found her, couldn't chase her out in the rain. 2024-09-11 10:18:11 +0000 UTC View Post
Alternate Title: [Super-Charged: Primeval Reversal]
“C’mon, Sir Duibhne, finish him!”
“Wipe the floor with him!”
“KILL HIM!”
‘Whoever that last guy was, dude needs to chill.’
I think, wincing internally at the bloodthirsty roar from the crowd.
“Almost time, Hangman,”
A voice calls from beneath the platform.
My opponent, the knight-wannabe, mirrors my own position, leaning against a sup...
Alternate Title: Sven Glascheit — Chimera
My fist connects with another Magus’s ribcage, the sickening crunch of bone echoing through the hall as I send him flying into his comrades.
A jolt of [Vibration] pulses from my feet, the kinetic energy surging through the Circuits embedded within them, spiderwebbing cracks across the polished marble floor. A smirk tugs at my lips as the remaining Magi stumble, their disorientation cut short as I hurl...
A/N: Minor edits plus the numerical value of Decibels to be more realistic. The original was 250, which'd caused an earthquake given where they are.
“Go ahead… Give it a try.”
I motion toward the plate of minced meat on the table.
It’s my favorite dish, the one that kept me from starving.
Just two spoonfuls a day with two bowls of rice can satisfy even the biggest appetite.
<...
After combing through a 50-mile radius around Fuyuki to ensure I hadn’t missed a Crest Worm—a trip that took from me exactly 23 minutes—I head towards the resort address Kiritsugu had messaged me days earlier.
At my current speed, vehicles seem unnecessary; however, since Nasu’s version of the Statute of Secrecy remains in place, it's probably wise not to test the Tower's patience, Lorelei’s husband or not.
“Room service!”
I whisper, rapping on the Magus K...
After a quick detour to the Fifth Department—Zoology, probably the least popular among Magi due to the current scarcity of Phantasmal Species—I quickly offload half my collection of monster parts and earn myself contribution points to boost my Rank.
Then, I head to the Department of Botany next.
My second trip is sadly less productive than the first.
Yumina isn't responsible for product testing, only verifying the research submitted by Magi and their Houses.
I'...
A/N: Hardest chapter yet. Next Chap Leo will return to Fuyuki to deal with unfinished business—Zouken—and catch up with John. Afterwards they'll be able to start creating a business, one for the Moonlit World and one for the normal one. There might be a minor timeskip, maybe months.
Needless to say, I didn’t catch a wink of sleep all night—my unblinking eyes fixed on the piece of paper declaring my marriage to the Queen of the Clock Tower, all while a ...
“So, I take it you’ve come to seek my blessing to marry someone else?” Ciri drawls, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
“Not exactly. I’m here to ask which side you want me to choose."
Massaging her temples, the she-witcher questions, “How much did they offer you?”
“A lot… I’m talking full tax exemption for all my business dealings in the Tower in the future, and access to magical facilities that new Magi can only dream about."
Unless they get adop...
A/N: Forgot to make this public.
“Alright, just be honest, who do you work for?”
Tired of the cat-and-mouse, Sven Glascheit kicks his chair aside and strides around my table, grabbing a fistful of my collar. “Still sticking with the bad cop routine?”
Grinding teeth exposed, the Enforcer’s eyes briefly glow a deep blue, accompanied by a strength I hadn’t expected from his skinny frame. But I stand my ground. He’s strong, certainly, b...
A/N: I’ll be honest, I just had the biggest writer’s block ever. But I’m back.
Guided by the aroma of its prey, Caragor stalks closer to the oblivious humans.
With ears pricked and behind swaying, the monstrous Demon gathers momentum before exploding into their midst. The unsuspecting Magi are tossed about like ragdolls, their cries swallowed by the night.
Their uniforms seem familiar…
Haven’t I seen them before.
What wa...
A/N: I just found the best mobile game ever. Endless Wander. It's a stylized, pixelated game with the same mechanics as Hades (2020), it is fucking awesome, try it out.

I can scarcely recall the hours after the Yellow Thearch took me. One moment, we were standing outside the Immortal Court; the next, we had traveled an unimaginable distance.
Our destination wasn't a palace among clouds but...
Soft footsteps announce the arrival of Gilgamesh, her long, flowing hair trailing elegantly behind her. The Queen yawns, running her fingers through the golden locks that cascade down past her pert derrière, and gives me a sleepy glance.
“Morning, Your Majesty. Eggs?” I greet, all smiles, as if ‘last night’ didn’t happen.
“Runny yolks, seared whites, a pinch of salt.” She instructs smoothly, stealing my morning coffee without missing a beat.
Locking eyes w...
Scanning the writhing cluster of Worms crawling around the basement, Caragor channels its Master’s Od into the artificial claw and plunges it into the squirming mass. The weapon pierces a Worm, igniting in a flickering blaze of blue, dark purple, and red that rapidly engulfs everything it touches.
Above, the Demon observes dispassionately as eerie, human-like screams start to echo in the chamber.
In a frantic race, the Familiar Worms surge up the stairs; the first of which ar...
My first encounter with a flying ‘vehicle’ in this Universe isn’t with a spaceship or a hoverbike, but rather a creature of colossal size and shape—a bird whose wingspan eclipses the sea. It’s not just an ‘it’ either; it’s a whole Divine Beast with sentience, one which belongs to the Lineage birthed by the Cardinal Gods: The Kun Peng.
This fish-like entity is said to have the capability to swallow all the oceans of the Upper-Plane in a single gulp, with scaly wings tha...
One of the things I found almost perplexing about the older technology of the Silent Generation’s vintage gramophones specifically.
Once, I despised the technology for its ‘low-quality’ audio, but swaying to the tunes of ‘Careless Whisper’ at full blast, I understand now. The slight crackling, the sound distortions, and the skips… All of it can be used to amplify the emotions of each syllable.
“There’s no comfort in the truth, pain is all you’ll find!...

With all the resources at my disposal, I was able to create a lab by clearing out the servants’ rooms.
Most of them were rather upset they were being chased out, but I really didn’t have much need for 500 plus superpowered servants at my beck and call. Why anyone would is still a mystery to me at the point of this reccording, but politicians just like to be extra, I suppose. Of course, not all went well… ...
A/N: Fix the timeline, plus edited everything.
I examine the silvery gauntlet before resting my forearm on the Witcheress’ head and placing the enchanted cybernetic in her palm.
Initially, I had considered a ring, but after our visit to the Cyberpunk world, a simple trinket felt… Inadequate.
Why settle for just a mere ring when you can have a power gauntlet with said ring built right into it?
Why opt for a Mystic Code when you can h...
A/N: New story, will be written alongside Infinity. Sorry, I started writing a few line and just ended up with a whole chapter. Fate/Infinity tomorrow, pinky swear.
They teach you in school that when life gives you a lemon, you’re supposed to make lemonade, but nobody ever tells you how to react when life grabs you by the mouth and squeezes the unsweetened juice down your throat, all while chugging down three beers and calling you a ‘bitch’ in the proces...
Impaling a Red Rider on Ziraeal, Ciri spins, bisecting the elf in half just as his Frost Hound decides to give her bun a messy trim.
Blinking behind the beast, the Witcheress stabs deep into its rib where its defense is weakest.
She has barely celebrated her victory, when something–someone crashes into the grounds next to her. Mouth wide open, Ciri stares as a portal open up in front of the Mage, from which a charred Rider exits… “Leo?!”
She has never se...
Once we located Avallac’h’s laboratory and, more importantly, his diary, Ciri wasted no time in smashing his belongings in a fit of rage.
Most of the valuable knowledge was, of course, preserved thanks to the discreet and quick use of my [Vault Ring], but she doesn’t need to know that.
By the tenth day, we managed to cure the Elven Sage of his… Affliction.
Ciri didn’t slap him, but she seemed quite intent on burning a hole in the sheepish and apologetic elf’s ...
A/N: One or two more chaps before we get back to Nasu and get to proper Kingdom building. Any advice on the location? Does anyone know which country has the loosest land laws that Leo can abuse the sh*t of?
Lying next to Ciri, O’Dimm’s words replay endlessly in my mind as my hand absentmindedly strokes her hair.
Eredin had stricken a deal with Gaunter ‘G.O.D’ O’Dimm for power after their recent defeat at the Battle of Novigrad. The Merchant o...
