Cooled Passions Chapter 86: The Sleeping Spark

Chapter 86: The Sleeping Spark

As busy as my schedule had become, I still took some time to focus on the development of my own power. Such a thing has become even more important after my awakening of my Lucifer bloodline and the release of the seal on my soul. I wish I had more time to explore just what exactly had changed, but this had come at a very poor time, considering how many meetings and events had been scheduled in the lead-up to Ragnarök.

My Demonic Pow...

Chapter 3: Smoke and Signs

She was led to a room within the main building of the Office which was on the same side of the building as the field they held the test in. She didn’t know what this meant for her own results, as she was not provided with a certification like the others that had passed. Although, from what Colonel Holt had said, she was probably a C-Class Mage, she thought.

That was enough to get a scholarship into the Imperial Mage Academy, she knew. ...

An Adult's Responsibility Chapter 20

Chapter 20:

“Halt!” The gruff voice was matched by the intimidating black metal of the android’s frame, “State your name and intention!”

I blinked in response, slightly bemused that I wasn’t recognised on sight, “Carl Albrecht, Sensei of SCHALE. I am on my way to visit the Abydos campus.”

The confrontation was taking place in a familiar location, that being a street of Abydos. Although, the blockade of armoured vehicles bearing the Kaiser log...

Chapter 85: To Take a Step Forward

I watched the reaction of the girl in front of me closely. I had some inkling as to the reason for her wishing to meet me like this, but the main consideration in any agreement was the temperament and behaviour of the parties involved. Should she wish for her family to benefit from my external trading, then they would need to either be the kind of people that could be relied on or at the very least, easily controlled.

This was pa...

Chapter 19:

As I stepped off the platform into the train, I instantly knew something was wrong. The first clue was the door slamming shut as soon as my foot cleared the threshold, the second was that the train was completely empty as it set off regardless.

My instincts remained sharp, as my gun was in my hand before I even consciously registered these facts, quickly sweeping the train in both directions, pausing as I noticed an odd business-suited cyborg sitting on the seats to my...

Chapter 84: The Unclaimed Crown

He was quite pleased, he reflected, that even as old as he was, life was still capable of surprising him. It was comforting in a way. No matter how long he had existed for, there was still more to discover, more to understand.

“I am guessing we all know why this meeting was called.” Shalba spoke, the Beelzebub showcasing just how much of a disappointment he was as he did so.

Oh, there was nothing wrong with his words, it w...

Chapter 18:

The train came to a stop, opening the door and allowing me to step out onto the platform. Looking around, I spotted my destination off to the side, the imposing edifice of one of Kivotos’ most powerful schools.

The Germanic style architecture that made up the main building certainly was quite the sight. As I walked towards the main gates, I was struck by the lack of guards. The wrought iron gates were wide open, with students walking in and out, chat...

Chapter 83: An Open Book

I watched as Runeas’ eyes widened, obviously making a connection with the name my statement had provided her. The Satori existed in this world, as a type of Yokai, but compared to their version in Gensokyo they were vastly inferior. Still, that didn’t prevent the woman in front of me from deducing the truth, where many others would have dismissed it out of hand as ridiculous.

“That sharpness of yours is much more trouble than it’s ...

He blinked wearily, forcing his spine to remain straight despite the tiredness that assaulted him.

“My Liege.” The General spoke softly, looking at him squarely, cap under his arm as he sat across from the Prince in the carriage, “If you wish, we can resume the tour at a later date.”

How tactful.

“My thanks, General, but that will not be necessary. I must merely get used to the elevation difference. This is the land...

Chapter 17:

“Are you insane?” Iori eventually asked, from where she was sitting, restrained alongside the rest of the Prefect Team, “You brought an entire building down on us!”

“Well, you were the one who declined my offer of surrender.” I responded, getting a death glare in response.

The girl puffed up at that, before Chinatsu deflated her by saying, “Give it a rest Iori, he won, we lost.”

“Big words from you, surrendering without a ...

Chapter 1: The Prince with Old Eyes

General Lestride took in a fortifying breath. It was an unfortunate fact of military life within the army of Eisenreich that your career lived or died depending on how happy you kept the closest member of the Royal family. Of course, such a feat was easier or harder depending on which member that happened to be.

To hear tell of the rumours from the North, Crown Prince Wilhelm was incredibly simple. Merely ensure that the guards ...

Chapter 82: A Meeting of Minds

It took some time, to find a way for all her pets to touch some part of Damocles, or one of the beings coming with them to be able to touch someone who was touching him. Thankfully, she managed it, having travelled back to his home without incident, despite the suspicious glances Orin and Okuu sent the Devil’s way. After they arrived, Damocles had led her to an area of his mansion that she could convert into a menagerie.

She had le...

Chapter 16:

There was a brief pause, the smoke and dust whirling through the air between us, before the dark-skinned girl hurriedly pulled out her phone, rapidly typing in a number.

With a beep, I could hear a tired voice coming out from the speaker, “Yes, Iori? What is it?”

The newly named Iori fiddled with the phone, before it projected a hologram of a dishevelled-looking young woman, her blue hair unkempt and out of place as she looked up from a clipb...

Aghanim's Rubick Chapter 28:

Chapter 28:

When you are given immense power, doing things on the justification of ‘because I can’ becomes something not ridiculous, but a partly valid excuse. After all, if it takes little effort and carries no risk, why not? After all, floating on a cloud where I am right now, I’m hardly hurting anyone.

“So, you think that Yuuki has kept Shizu in a coma deliberately?” I questioned, anger bubbling beneath the question as I stared up at the stellar vista...

“Sensei?” The questioning tone made me look up from my list, spotting the sight of a smiling blonde elf girl, “Long time no see.”

“Chinatsu.” I recognised her, “It has been a long time. How have you been?”

“Busy.” The response was accompanied by a tired smile, “There is always something that needs to be attended to in Gehenna. It’s been a madhouse.”

“My condolences. I know the feeling.” I commiserated, “Are y...

Chapter 81: A Beautiful Match

She watched as I put in the pieces, one after another, into the still form below me. I knew that Koishi was strong, but to be honest, the difference between her and Satori was shocking. Satori only required two pawns to be resurrected, while her sister required the entirety of the rest, all six. Even with the differences between our power systems, I could feel that if I hadn’t broken my seal before coming here I would not be able to use t...

Chapter 14:

A snap from a large-calibre rifle sounded out, followed by tyres screeching and a crunch.

“Road has been blocked to the north, Fox 1. Van neutralised, several guards are exiting and making their way over.” Otogi’s voice came through her earpiece.

“Roger that, Fox 2, please deal with them.” She responded, grenade flying from her fingers and exploding as Kurumi used the distraction to rush the disoriented group.

Chapter 80: The One Who Sees Through Deception

“Oh?” She spoke slowly, voice heavy, “You want to make a deal with me? When someone offers such a thing, they usually have something the other party wants. What do you know of my desires, hmm?”

The mysterious man smiled knowingly, a crooked grin that was almost unfair on his features. She was used to dealing with beautiful people, but they were almost all women. This was the first time she had ev...

An Adult's Responsibility Chapter 13

Chapter 13:

She leant back, the railing of the sand-swept overpass supporting her back as she did so, head tilted to face the sky as she closed her eyes. Soaking up the sun, she basked in the warmth while also appreciating the cool breeze that was wafting down the street. Her eyes opened as Nonomi leant next to her, the railing only coming up to her waist, something that sent a familiar pang of jealousy through her, that was ignored with long familiarity.

“Focus, feel your body. Fill your awareness with your own physical limits. The horns and tail, the features you want to hide, feel them, focus on them, empty your mind, let your instincts rise.” Her voice was low, soothing.

Unfortunately, her words were too much for me to resist, a smile coming unbidden to my face, “Careful, if I do that in your presence I might act inappropriately.”

“I’m sure I would...

“Thank you, Yasaka.” The Divine being opposite me spoke as the Kitsune finished pouring tea, “I am sorry, but may I speak to the Sagan alone?”

Yasaka hesitated at that, giving me the briefest of looks before she bowed low from her seated position, “Hai, Lord Hachiman. Please excuse me.”

Straight backed, with perfect posture, she left the room without a backwards glance.

“She is co...

“You know Sensei,” Niko spoke, a complicated expression on her face, “If you want us to trust you, suggesting our first mission together to be helping you rob a bank is a bit…?”

Otogi cackled at that while I could only shrug, “I know it isn’t a good look, but the Stygian bank is well known to be involved in criminal dealing and besides, this is the perfect way to show you all how things would be different should you accept m...

I walked into the room, finding that the inhabitant was standing stiffly at attention near the bed. The area was sparse, only a single bed that was in the corner, with a desk on the opposite side. No windows, but the floor was furnished with at least a mat and not just bare.

“Have my people be...

Chapter 76: Out Matched

I could feel it, the energy that had been bubbling beneath the surface of my being ever since I killed Loki. It surged forth, pooling both in my body and not. It was as if it was going somewhere else, somewhere deeper than I could feel, leaving me feeling more than I was before.

She hummed as she walked the light filled halls, the melodic sound reverberating and uplifting the spirits of all who were fortunate enough to hear it. The Seraph, the Hope and Wings of Heaven, God’s Messenger, was in an exceptionally good mood. She had just received news that her gambit had been successful and her plan could proceed.

The Throne that she had asked to take up the delicate task had already accepted, not that sh...

“So?” CC asked, arms crossed and an unimpressed look on her face, “Are you going to accept?”

“I haven’t made a decision yet.” I answered, elbows on my knees and fingers crossed as I looked at the table, “I told her I would have to discuss it with you all first. After all, if we are going to war then we all will have to participate.”

We were in our usual meeting lounge, Having gathered all...

It was one thing to know that Lucifer was an ancient Demon, it was another thing entirely to realise that she paid close attention to events occurring outside of the Demonic Realm. According to her, my power put me among the top of the world. At my current level, I was either stronger than my opponent or the...

Prompt: After Party

After Party:

He sighed, slumping against the wall as he did. He understood, in theory, why he needed to attend these events, but it didn’t stop him from despising every single second of them. He never enjoyed his fame and after he defeated Voldemort it became even worse. The ‘Boy-Who-Lived’ turned overnight into the ‘Man-Who-Won’.

Despite the moniker being slightly less embarrassing, it didn’t improve his experience in public any. In fact...
