By midnight, the robe girl had lured Charlie off toward the stairs. But not before he snagged my car keys and tossed them in his pocket. "You're staying here tonight. Malibu air's good for the soul. And I don't trust you driving after Alicia's done with you."
Alicia grinned over her wine glass. "Oh, I'm just making sure he has a good time."
I had a high tolerance, but she was clearly on a mission. Drink after drink, she leaned closer, her voice dropping, her smile lingering. It wa...
2025-08-16 10:44:16 +0000 UTC View PostThe Benz glided down the boulevard, city lights winking like a slow heartbeat. I was halfway to my apartment when my phone lit up on the dash.
'Charlie' I hit answer. "Well, well… the ghost of bad decisions."
Charlie's voice came through in that lazy, I've-had-three-drinks-already drawl. "Liam, my man. You busy?"
"Define busy."
"Are you doing something more important than hanging out with your favorite brother who just got back from Vegas with a smil...
2025-08-16 10:41:26 +0000 UTC View PostDinner was smooth after that, with plenty of small talk and the occasional teasing jab from her about how I always look "dangerously good in a suit."
By the time dessert rolled around—a shared molten chocolate cake with espresso ice cream—she was back to her relaxed, satisfied self.
"You're going to do great at that new job," she said softly, breaking the cake with her fork. "Just… don't forget to breathe along the way."
I smiled, stealing a bit of the ice cream. "I'll...
2025-08-16 10:37:53 +0000 UTC View PostEve's voice slid into my mind right on the dot.
"Rise and shine, Sleeping Beauty. It's six o'clock. You've got thirty minutes before Mom swoops in to collect her favorite child—aka you."
I cracked an eye open and groaned, stretching. "Appreciate the wake-up call."
"I live to serve," she said, then added slyly, "Well, more like I live to make sure you don't screw up your own plans, but let's not split hairs."
I got up, heading straight for the shower. The hot water hit l...

Alan and Judith let Jake set up his new game console, but he turned to me "Promise you'll play with me before you leave!"
"I promise." and just like that, Jake darted off to set up his new PlayStation
Eve: "You just bound yourself to a legally non-binding contract with an 7-year-old. Risk level: minimal."
Judith and I sat on the patio while Alan ducked inside for a moment.
"Sometimes, I feel… stuck. My whole worl...
2025-08-16 10:29:00 +0000 UTC View PostMy phone buzzed with a new text—it was from John. He agreed to meet up. I couldn't help but grin at the thought: John Wick. Yes, the man, the legend, the boogeyman himself.
We first crossed paths in an MMA class. I'd helped him with a tricky legal issue back then, and that was the start of an unlikely friendship. According to my memories, John's background was nothing short of extraordinary. A retired CIA but actually Special Infiltration Squad- Leader(SIS), he mastered infiltration, ...
2025-08-16 10:26:34 +0000 UTC View PostOutside, I hailed a cab. "Cheesecake Factory," I told the driver, the destination feeling less like just a place and more like the start of something new.
Eve's voice echoed lightly in my mind, robotic but oddly enthusiastic: "She looked pretty. Have fun in breakfast, I won't disturb you,"
My eyes automatically rolled at her sarcastic comment "Cool your jets, it's just breakfast."
"Just breakfast, Liam? Considering Penny's prolonged staring and rapid heartbeat near your vici...
2025-08-16 10:23:52 +0000 UTC View PostEve's voice held a hint of amusement. "An interesting cultural landmark within this world. These intersections between fiction and reality shape your experience." I shook my head with a smirk and continued to the fifth floor, finally reaching my own door, 5A.
Inside, the apartment welcomed me with its quiet familiarity—the soft hum of the refrigerator from the open kitchen and the warm glow of the city lights filtering through the windows.
Sinking down into my favorite cha...
2025-08-16 10:21:54 +0000 UTC View PostWe'd decided on takeout that night—Chinese, from a small place a couple of blocks away that Emma swore was the best in Manhattan.
Lo mein, sesame chicken, dumplings, and enough fried rice to feed an army. We ate in the living room, Netflix droning faintly in the background while the city lights blinked through the balcony glass.
After dinner, I packed light—one small black carry-on. Suit, casual clothes, essentials. Emma had her keys in hand before I even zipped it shut.
I hung my jacket on the hook by his desk, loosened my shoulders, and let myselfself collapse onto the bed.
The ceiling fan turned lazily above him.
'Eve,' I called
"Let's try the Sharingan potion." "Understood," she replied in her calm, measured tone.
"Be advised — during the awakening process, there will be significant pain in your optic nerves. I recommend mental preparation before consumption."
'I've already died once. A little eye pain won...

As Louis disappeared into the crowd, I felt Eve's voice slide into my mind like a calm ripple across still water.
"That was… an unexpected outcome. Statistically, Louis Litt's advice was correct."
I smirked faintly. 'You think I should've gone corporate right away?'
"From an efficiency standpoint, yes. Pearson Hardman is an elite firm with a high-profile clientele. Your early career momentum could've been maximized. A public sector role in the DA's off...

The shadow belonged to the man in front of him. Louis Litt — a younger version. He still had that compact, stocky build, like a wrestler who traded the mat for the courtroom.
His face carried the same features seen in the show, intense brown eyes that looked like they were constantly scanning for both opportunity and betrayal, a slightly hooked nose, and lips that always seemed on the verge of either a smirk or a scowl.
His hair was darker but thinning which was c...
2025-08-16 08:27:46 +0000 UTC View PostJust as I was about to ask another question, a soft chime echoed in my head — like the notification tone from a luxury device.
"Liam," Eve's smooth, measured voice cut in, "before we proceed further, I should inform you that as part of your initiation into this world, my creator has provided you with a Starter's Pack. Would you like to open it now?"
A grin tugged at my lips. 'A Starter's Pack? Like in those games?'
"Correct. Consider it your first set of tools — a welcom...
2025-08-16 08:22:26 +0000 UTC View Post'You keep saying 'my creator' like it's supposed to mean something' I asked 'So… what is he? Some kind of god?'
Her answer came without hesitation. "Yes. My creator is, for lack of a better human term, a god. Specifically, the God of Entertainment."
I blinked. 'The… God of Entertainment? That's a thing?'
"In a sense that you can understand — yes. He exists beyond your previous reality and this one. His influence covers all forms of entertainment, fiction, and narrative...

The first thing I noticed was the coffee.
A tall glass of iced americano sat in front of me, condensation sliding down its sides, pooling onto a paper napkin.
I had no idea what happened or how I got here.
I glanced around the busy café, my confusion growing. It felt like a strange dream — except the smells, the chatter, the clinking cups… everything was too vivid to be fake.
Then a vibration drew my eyes to the table.
A new-looking smartphone s...
