"You..."
Kakashi broke free from the Genjutsu and turned to look at Hatake Satoru beside him.
This kind of Genjutsu was different from the Uchiha’s eye techniques. Hatake Satoru wore an eye patch, so he wouldn’t be affected by eye-based illusions, but this kind of Genjutsu could still catch him.
But it turned out Kakashi was worried for nothing.
Hatake Satoru leaned against the railing, looking completely fine—he even had the energy to keep trac...

Chapter 63: The Music Family
“I’m going to a charity dinner tonight, so Aunt Oliver doesn’t need to prepare my share.”
“Alright.”
After telling Cynthia, William saw Aunt Lisa and Tiffany walk out from behind the racks, each holding an evening dress, and immediately felt a headache coming on.
They had been picking clothes for over an hour, visiting four or five suit shops, and still hadn’t found something they were completely happy with.
“If I’d ...

Sunday.
William went to Aunt Lisa’s house as planned to continue teaching Jenny how to play Canon.
Even though they lived in different places, some habits never changed. Whenever he was with Aunt Lisa’s family, William always felt relaxed.
“William.”
Uncle Zach pulled William into the study.
“Go ahead.”
“How’s your work at Earth Games?”
“It’s going well.”

Chapter 98: Bragging?
As days passed, development on Dark Souls was going smoothly.
With a large batch of art assets coming in from outsourcing…
The whole team entered a fast-paced production phase.
At the same time, Lucas's official blog and the Nebula Games website had started warming up the promotion for Dark Souls little by little.
They were doing simple interactions with players and posting some new promotional concept art and such.
Basically, it was...

Then Lucas brought up the upcoming Expedition event.
“Are we also going to develop a game for the Expedition during this time?” Rachel asked curiously.
“Basically, yes. Dark Souls just needs some time to wrap up. I can handle the new game myself, but I’ll need two people from the art team to c...

Lucas led the main development team, which included Rachel, Anna, Hector, and others.
In addition, there was also an operations team for Overcooked, Legends of the Three Kingdoms, and Fall Guys, in charge of ongoing operations and content updates for these games.
Nebula Games had also created a separate department for maint...

Chapter 95: If You Don’t Give Players an Immersive Experience, Are You Even Human?
Let’s set aside the story background for now and just focus on gameplay.
Whether it’s stat upgrades, gear, or the combat system with rolls, parries, backstabs, and other mechanics—
Honestly, in other action or RPG games, none of that is new.
But the biggest thing that Dark Souls did differently was combine those existing elements with level design and boss battles to create a cle...

Chapter 179: A Totally Different-Looking Kihara Gensei
To be fair, Saten Ruiko was pretty confident about how much stronger she’d gotten recently.
By her own estimate, she might not be able to beat the real Accelerator yet, but she could probably hold her own.
But now it wasn’t just one Accelerator in front of her—it was six! Even if each clone was weaker than the real one, the sheer number made up for that.
No—actually, it might even be worse than facing the o...

Kankuro and Temari had thought Gaara in full form would be enough to handle Naruto, but they didn’t expect Naruto could summon a “giant toad monster”!

What is this thing?
Back when he fought Kimimaro, it was clear Gaara still had something up his sleeve.
The sand around Gaara kept building up, surrounding him completely.
“You really do have all kinds of annoying defenses.”
Sasuke muttered under his breath, then pressed his lips together and quickly rushed forward.
He didn’t know exactly what this thing was, but if Gaara got fully wrapped inside, it’d be hard to attack him afterward.

It told players a grand, epic story about the Age of Fire.

Come to think of it, he hadn’t really gotten a proper chance to use Hollow Purple since he got it.
Blue and Red stood for negative infinity and positive infinity—attraction and repulsion colliding to create a black hole-like effect.

They were all large-scale moves.

Seeing the pain on their faces, William suggested, “How about we take a break?”

The night view of Southport was colorful and lively, but unlike Riverdale, where lights shone everywhere, one side of this city met the sea, and the ocean swallowed all the lights from the city.

“Sure.”
The sound of the waves was sometimes soft, sometimes roaring, blending into a song from nature.
“To be honest, part of the reason I made up my mind back then was because I was running away.”
