Chapter 9: Round Two

Was it foolishness or prudence?

Sakura wanted to have an answer. As such, she handed over the long case at the back to Aleph’s lap.

Click-!

After a simple passcode, the silver case was opened. It was a broadsword that occupied the entire driver and passenger seat—big enough for Sakura to also place that case on her lap.

The broadsword flashed with purple lights. Its entire body was made of a compound black steel used for military-grade robots.

Chapter 8: Misdemeanor?

A brief period of silence reigned between the two until Sakura decided to speak up.

“Tell me. Why did you want to meet me?”

“About that… are you willing to become my ‘exclusive’ bodyguard whenever I go out?”

Sakura fell silent upon hearing his offer.

“...Why would you want that?”

“Because I have some secret to hide?” Aleph paused before he laughed. “Kidding aside, there’s not much reason. I might ‘misbehave’ once in a while,...

Chapter 7: Not-So-Secret-Agent

The opportunity to travel freely did not come until a month later.

After working within the institute for nearly half a month, Aleph had an “on-site” inspection of several frontline branches against honkai. 

One of them was “Sapphire City”. The surrounding towns around it suffered from small-scale honkai eruptions which made it an opportunity for him to see honkai beasts and survey the needed ‘equipment’ by the frontline soldiers.

After all, only by...

Chapter 6: Semi-Date

A month and a half.

That was how much time had passed since Aleph’s meeting with Mei. Their separation was still fresh in his mind. Nobody expected for a ‘mutant’ Seraph-class beast to screw things for them. 

Due to her extremely tight schedule, the best they could do was to exchange contacts and talk through mobile phones. Through that, they managed to set up a meeting place.

Of course, it wasn’t that simple for the two of them. Unlike their previous identities...

Chapter 5: Job Change?

Another two weeks had passed since Aleph woke up. A month had already passed since the Nagazora incident.

“This is too unreasonable… Did I really learn something like this before?”

Aleph simply continued to “grind” knowledge—retrieving the things he had forgotten in the past. He couldn’t be discharged due to his near-death state before, plus the fact that he is one of Fire MOTH’s talents assured that he was given high priority when it comes to his recovery.

Chapteer 4: Honkai Beast

While Aleph was left wondering, he learned about his situation from the man.

Apparently, they found him on the brink of death. The thing… rather, the so-called “Honkai Beast” that he fought was severed into pieces beside him. 

After some initial treatment and several twists and turns, he ended up being treated in the Mu Continent—the largest and most advanced continent in the entire world.

According to the man in black, the things he regarded as a ‘si...

Chapter 3: Black Spark

Another life.

These words suddenly appeared in Aleph’s mind. He was about to ‘recall’ things when an invisible barrier prevented him from doing so. His chest tightened at the thought of those ‘memories’.

It was evident. His subconscious was preventing him from recalling these memories. Unfortunately, he hadn’t realized this revelation completely.

All of his attention was placed on the sensation flooding his brain.

“...Ah.”

Aleph felt as if he had ...

Chapter 2: Past Self

They were supposed to watch the huge monster from a short distance, but they did not expect that a flaming bird would make things worse. The monster’s attention was on Aleph, who leaped outside their cover.

The monster, whose height is comparable to two-storeys, was enough to intimidate someone like him. It was built similar to a caterpillar but standing with two arms.

“You two… don’t make much of a noise.”

Despite his increasing heart rate—enough to feel his pul...

Chapter 1: Awakening

A collapsing building.

As if struck by a magnitude seven earthquake, the building shook severely. Soon, it became unstable. The ground itself was shaking as small rubbles fell off the ceiling. The magnitude of the shaking was enough to wake up an unconscious man.

Unfortunately, nothing mattered to him now except his current situation.

‘It hurts..!’

Pain was a universal sensation that any living being could feel. It is an extremely unpleasant sensation due to things...

New Fic: Achievement Hunter

A man who reincarnated becomes embroiled in a series of struggles—one that determines the fate of humanity. With a ‘system’ that grants rewards by unlocking achievements, his choice boiled down to one: to fight for oneself. 

Be it the dissociative amnesia caused by his traumatic past life or the beasts that wreaked havoc, nothing could stop him from reaching towards the so-called infinity.

A Honkai Impact 3rd fic. Setting is in the Previous-Era....

Notice

Good day to everyone.

You might recall that previous announcement (to which I said that it'd take a week or so to publish the new fic) but I was only able to write half of its advanced chapters at the moment. I got sick for over a week and I couldn't write properly. No worries though since I'll be uploading half of the advanced chapters (15 chapters, 17k words) by tomorrow.

Have a nice day~!

A Better Life: Afterword

Here it is. After more than a year of companionship, a year of writing, and a year full of stories, it comes down to its ending. "I will live a better life!" was something that I spontaneously thought. Before "A Foreigner's Chat Group" was finished, I was already writing it. Before I knew it, I already wrote more than twenty chapters, around 45,000 words in total. Times flies that fast.

It was a story of someone who wanted to live a better life (just like the t...

Chapter 182: To A New Story

It was a mistake.

No, it’s not exactly one. It was our fault for overlooking such an obvious thing.

Huff-!

I renewed my vision. The power of ten Worlds continued to run within me. Ever since the personification of the [End] into a dragon, its willingness gave itself a weakness.

It was just like the world—an existence without any subjectivity.

It lacked it to the point that I was able to take advantage of it just l...

Chapter 181: Onwards

Boom-!

Shatter-!

Earth received yet another wave of destruction as [Entropy] continued attracting ‘everything’. It was extremely similar to the shadow of IX in the sense that it was indiscriminate.

Everything that enters it would be consumed by [Entropy]. Humans would die in an instant since their energy would enter a state of entropy—thus ceasing vital operations crucial to human survival.

As long as one remains a mortal, it becomes a fatal thr...

Chapter 180: A Choice

Origin and End.

The road they point out is Finality.

No words could explain the feeling I got the moment I found out about the Aeon of Finality. They were simply a mini-version of the Twilight Syndrome that we are facing. Only, it seems to have a spirituality—a consciousness of their own. That was the reason why I kept watching the Twilight Syndrome on our side.

As it stands, this pure black space is inviolable. There isn’t any other loophole except for...

Chapter 179: Tutorial, Please

The world fell into a tranquil state. It regained its long-lost peace due to the presence of one god. Even the black hole stagnated upon sensing his existence.

“Remember that sword strike.”

At this moment, Mei did not have anyone by her side, only the increasingly faint presence that held her wrist.

She was reminded of the ‘spectacular’ attack done by Nobu during their first meeting. He was able to defeat a ‘horrifying’ creature in one stri...

Chapter 178: Revelations

A ripple on the vast sea would go unnoticed by most people, but it becomes a different thing for the people nearby.

“...Nobu.”

It was the first time Melusine uttered Nobu’s name without any form of title. Throughout this year and a half, their relationship improved, but she usually called him “partner”.

Nevertheless, their ‘true’ relationship was something derived from the contract of a “Master” and a “Heroic Spirit”. They have a connection solely exclu...

Chapter 177: The Known Ending

The end is unstoppable.

That sentence remains unchanged.

No matter what one does, it could not be prevented.

“As a last resort… Nobu came up with one plan.”

The [End] came straight for the [World]. That was another fact that remains absolute. All the bad endings were merely the ‘aftermath’ of its conquest against the [World]. Since humanity lives on it, they become affected by it, hence the challenge that they have to face in the first place.

These fact...

Chapter 176: An Inevitable Thing

I could see everything.

Omniscience granted me the power to ‘know’ everything I want to know. I have seen countless futures since the moment I got it.

However, it was also detrimental to my mental state. Most God Kings are detached from the world that they only held a slight amount of connection to the people who were with them.

In the end, they show tendencies to become an emotionless machine, a being whose only purpose in life is to achieve a certain goal. It was compl...

Chapter 175: Scumbag in Kyoto

It was a familiar sensation.

Just like before… It is similar to my kisses with others. However, it was different. Call me a scumbag, but every girl has their own charm. Artemis has an inviolable purity, while Hephaestus has that mature charm. Mashiro has the vibe of a clingy kitten, while Manaka has an unspeakable craziness that likes your company.

As for Hitori…

It was the feeling of a forbidden act at first.

“Mn…”

It wasn’t kn...

Chapter 174: An Introvert's Confession

[World Magisters].

It was the term I created once a [Magister] reaches the level of a “world”. Nothing would be hidden to him at that point, save for the things even the world could not understand.

It could be reached once they attain the three ‘attributes’ that pushed the three most important aspects, body, soul, and mind, into the extreme. 

They were omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience, respectively.

The first one was the power to ‘exist’ in a...

Chapter 173: Better Ending

For most people, time is something that cannot be fought against. They could only continue moving forward despite their numerous struggles and regrets. These regrets remain to be something to be looked back on.

At worst, it could be something that would hold them back from moving forward.

Bam-!

The sky was seemingly turned upside down due to the magnitude of the battle occurring as of the moment. One person with a unique blade fought off against another human 2024-06-10 15:16:22 +0000 UTC View Post
