[21] Trauma-ma-ma-ma

Smoke and fires rose from the battlefield, bringing chaos and suffering to the city. Cars and bodies alike lay sprawled on the ground, twisted into unrecognizable wrecks beyond any hope of repair. The sound of sirens and wails of despair could be heard in the background as the fight between Rhino and Spider-Man escalated. Rhino's punches landed like sledgehammers, each blow sending shockwaves through the ground. Spider-Man, however, darted and weaved like a shadow, always just out of reach.&n...

[20] What does it mean to be... human?

When we talk about Times Square, what really comes to mind? A lot of things, right? Let's face it, Times Square was a monumental place, its mark even more indelible in Hollywood movies. Joe didn't know how many times he had seen Times Square in various movies, television, and social media. In his past life, he would never have sheltered the thought of visiting New York City due to his busy student schedule, but currently, it was no longer a dream. Joe took a subway train to 42nd Street.

[19] Chamber Of Reflection

Ping 

Joe got distracted by the sudden vibration of his phone. 

'I should have put it on silent. Didn't I put it on DND?' Joe scratched his head as he removed the phone from his pocket. 

It was Peter hollering at him on iMessage. 

[Yo, how ya doing?] 

[Are you busy? Like right now?] 

"Hmm, what's Pete up to?" Joe wondered aloud. 

[I'm doing well. What's up?] Joe texted back. 

[Are you blin...

[18] Permanent Immunity Shot

Despite not having the natural super-intelligence of Tony Stark or Reed Richards, Joe successfully replicated a gadget that could be described as possessing a touch of its unique magic. The miniaturized arc reactor in front of him didn't have the same level of polish as the later iterations of Stark's models. However, as long as it served its purpose well enough, everything was alright. 

Now, with a potent energy source in hand, his future plans were going to be much smoother unle...

[17] Smooth Operator, DIY Arc Reactor

After Peter left, Joe planned to initiate 'Project ARC', but plans sometimes tended to run on uncertainty. Joe couldn't outrightly begin his project because his body was failing him. He had the zeal, the intense fire of ambition burning inside like a stellar core; however, his physical fitness told a different story.

Despite long hours of sleep, the past seven days had taken a toll on his body, even as his brain's neural activity was boosted. As a researcher, Joe knew that for the mind...

[16] Be YOU

"So, you haven't told me yet what type of game you've been developing?" Peter asked, stuffing a waffle into his mouth. The waffles had been cooked by Joe after Peter had shamelessly begged for some food. A hungry Peter knew nothing about embarrassment. 




'His metabolism is higher than mine, courtesy of spider physiology,' Joe analyzed as he bit on an apple. 




"You really can't hold back when it comes to 'cool' stuff, can you?" Joe pointed the half...

[15] Maidenless

Controlling his facial expressions, Joe slowly opened the door. He found Peter fidgeting with a slightly nervous expression on his face. Only after Peter noticed Joe did he try to tame his anxious behavior. 

What is he even nervous about? Joe wondered in amusement. 

"Hey, Joe," Peter greeted him with a slightly shaky voice that he tried his damnedest to control. 

"Hey, bro. How have you been?" Joe smiled as he raised his hand for a rather ...

[14] An Equation That Proved The Thought of God

Have you ever wondered about the potential that lies within a human? It's pretty ridiculous in itself to wonder. Among all the living creatures on earth, we stand out above others. We are the apex, the dominators of the entire food chain. That's natural because of our ability to think beyond. Our physical bodies might not be as sturdy as those of wild animals, but our minds are as complex as the wonders of the unknown recesses of outer space. The brain has experienced numerous cycles of evolu...

[13] Feel Like Eleven

A confident smile spread across his lips as he stared at the folders of classified data uniformly distributed on the desktop. 

"I succeeded. I made the paranoid Fury even more paranoid, hehe. Sadly, he's almost inconsequential in the cosmic scale of things," Joe coldly spoke. 

He was happy but didn't show it. Hell knows how he was resisting the urge to release that satisfying evil laughter. (you know, the type with thunder rumbling in the background.)

[12] Sugar Rush Ride (I Live For This Shit)

"Oh, you seem so sure of yourself. It's as if you can already foresee its success. Are you sure it won't flop on you, haha?" Gwen asked, humor dancing in her eyes.

"Failure is not an option; it never had a say to begin with." Joe waved his hand in dismissal, a contagious, confident smile on his lips.

"I like your confidence. With such a declaration, who am I not to believe you?" Gwen turned her head to the TV.

"So, when are you going to start?" She asked.

"Soon....

[11] Bonding With Gwen

A distant lull of pop music played in the background as Gwen stood outside Joe's apartment door. The afternoon light streamed steadily, highlighting the worry and tamed anger on her stunning face. She impatiently tapped her foot against the wall as she occasionally looked at her phone. She wasn't checking at the time or waiting for replies but resisting the sheer urge to type away her temper against Joe.


Oh God, she missed him, but she just wanted to give him an earful right now. ...

[10] Carol Danvers

"Hey Goose! There you are, you little troublemaker," the beautiful woman exclaimed with a cheerful voice as she approached the awkward duo—a cute yet funny combination of an extremely attractive young man holding onto a literal timebomb.


The beautiful blond was loosely holding onto a leash that was supposed to be on the harness around Goose's neck. She wore a plain white T-shirt under a classic denim jacket that was slightly oversized. Below, she sported dark jeans that perfectl...

[09] Hype Boy and Cthulhu 2.0

"Mmm!" Joe moaned with extreme delight as he took the first bite of the shrimp lo mein. If food was heaven, he could be considered to hold its key already. The takeout didn't disappoint him.

He ordered the meal from a reputable Chinese restaurant and paid everything upfront instead of 'on delivery.' The lack of a phone could sometimes be convenient. At least, it wasn't a necessity.

'Now this is a sweet side effect of hunger...' Joe skilfully used the chopsticks to pick up the ...

[08] Creeping Hunger

"40000 years of evolution and we have barely tapped the vastness of human potential." A manic glint radiated off Joe's eyes as he reveled in the feeling of being hyper-energized, his entire system overclocked like an Intel or AMD CPU.

He palmed the colorful mouse and opened the browser. With quick, unbelievable typing that his former self could only dream about, he searched for numerous online tutorials about Python. Python was a famous, beginner-friendly programming language. Most of...

[07] May Chaos Take The World

With all the mental exhaustion and emotional baggage he had to deal with for the whole day, it didn't take Joe long before he fell dead asleep on his bed. The mattress was so comfy that he felt his body sink into a peaceful dreamland. He didn't have to wallow in despair in his sleep since he dreamt of Ranni, the witch, giving him a hand job.


8 a.m.


Joe slowly woke from his sleep, his eyes gradually opening. The tired expression that had initially been t...

[03] Dark Fate

It was in the late evening. The skies above Peaceful Grove Cemetery were dark and gloomy, mirroring the somber mood of the funeral occurring below. Rain splattered continuously on the mourners but since they held dearly onto their umbrellas, they were spared from being soaked mercilessly.

Dressed in black, the mourners had a disturbing uniformity but the current atmosphere brought about different types of facial expressions from each individual. The ladies in the procession exhibited ...

[06] Doom

"My name is John Smith and today, we managed to clinch a rather unexpected interview with the Monarch of Latveria himself, Dr. Doom!" A man with a dashing smile and slicked golden hair introduced himself. Beside him was a live feed video of a being clad in silver armor and a green cape. The monarch sat on a throne, unfettered and valiant. On his face was an iron mask that served to hide his ruined face and who he truly was on a more personal level. He was Victor Von Doom!


"You sha...

[05] Approved

“The Conjuring” was a classic horror movie with a history based on reality, and it involved real-life paranormal activity investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. In his previous life, Joe had watched all the movies in “The Conjuring Universe.” Being quite the playboy, Joe found that some of his girlfriends adored the thrill of terror and being on edge while “Netflix and chilling” in a dark room. Who was he to refuse a little bone-chilling thrill that made the heart thump crazy while...

GEV 136: Grand Archival Tower [I]

The wind howled like a banshee, whipping his strands of unruly hair into a frenzy as Zhao Wei navigated the serpentine path that snaked around the mountain. From miles away, he could see 'it'. It was the sacred building of the clan and many referred to it as the Hollow Building. The magnificent tower was like an unfettered spear, effortlessly piercing through the clouds and the heavens.

With each distance that he continued to cover, the tower became clearer and more defined. Its impos...

GEV 135: Something Poking My Behind?

There was a moment of silence, of utter unbridled comfort between two people.

Yun Yao forgot she was sitting on his lap, too absorbed by the moment. As for Zhao Wei, he was all too aware of Yun Yao. How could he not be? How could he remain oblivious to the dizzying womanly scent that was unique to her?

Her body's weight pressing down on his lap didn't make him any more calm. The heat from her soft, sensual body seeped through her clothes and subtly warmed him up even though he...

GEV 134: Painting of a Masterpiece II

As he sat on the small stool, Zhao Wei intensely gazed at the blank canvas. From that white canvas with vast possibilities, he could already visualize the image he wanted to capture.


Standing amidst the exquisite blooms, Yun Yao set her body free. She didn't want to act or try to think of different poses. She wanted to be herself in that moment, free from inhibitions, pressure, or responsibilities. Only by letting her inner spirit guide her could she give Zhao Wei the chance to ca...

GEV 133: Painting of a Masterpiece [I]

Inner Court Residence. Zhao Wei's Courtyard.

A mature beauty with attractive features, especially her signature long, fiery red hair, gracefully walked into the residence unimpeded.

A cute, dazzling smile hung on her moist red lips as her hazel eyes glanced admiringly at the garden of chrysanthemum flowers intermixed with magnificent black roses. It was a breathtaking scene, calm and mind-relaxing. The red-haired beauty plus the flowery scenery complemented by multi-colored bu...

GEV 132: Laughing In The Face of Failure!

Zhao Wei silently walked over to Vice Head Zhang, his mind filled with thoughts about array theories, diagrammatic 3D spell formations, and how he should go about making his very first array.

Vice Head Zhang sat on a reclined chair, in his hand a briar pipe that emitted slow whisps of smoke. He sucked in, taking deliberate puffs before euphorically exhaling rings of smoke.

He noticed the boy but he didn't stop himself from enjoying the high-quality spiritual tobacco.

V...

GEV 131: Runes — The Programming Language of Arrays

"Haha, you are truly a monster. You will always be a monster!" Vice Head Zhang boisterously laughed, his voice booming like the perpetual thunder from the Floating Crest Palace.

He palmed his forehead, his head reeling as he glanced at the confident youth who had a satisfied smirk.

"I know it's just a figure of speech but calling me a monster is making me uncomfortable, teacher," Zhao Wei said innocently, his Dao of Shamelessness once again showing signs of reaching the realm ...

GEV 130: Array Dao, Questioning the Underlying Principles of Reality

"Floating Crest Palace, huh?" Zhao Wei muttered under his breath as his silver eyes trailed to the ancient and mysterious palace floating majestically in the skies above the Broken Moon Sect. The perpetual flashes of the green, blue, and white lightning around the architectural wonder made the scene utterly terrifying; giving the feeling that whatever lay beyond those olden palatial walls was wealth and danger beyond a man's imagination.

When he had just arrived at the Broken Moon Sec...

GEV 129: News about Floating Crest Trial

The innumerable stars in the sky dimly glittered incessantly as the subtle glow of dawn began to color the eastern horizon. The stridulations of the cicadas had already ceased disturbing the peace of the morning, replaced by the resonating chirps and cries of the golden sparrows and Yao birds. Inside a breathtaking view of a courtyard, the figure of Zhao Wei could be seen sitting in a lotus position, his eyes calmly closed, as he faced the direction of the morning sun. He was meditating, refi...

GEV 128: Zhen Ji, Earning Profits

Zhen Ji, among her fellow Inner Disciples, wasn't as famous as the disciples in the top ten of the Inner Ranking system. Due to her outstanding physique for a lady, lean but fairly muscular attractive body, firm buttocks, and attention-grabbing height, she was quite famous among the council of far-gone degenerate men and Yin-loving women. Undoubtedly, she could easily pass as someone who practiced the usually ignored body cultivation techniques and that's what made her quite unique among a po...

GEV 127: Cultivation Itself Is An Art of Enjoyment!

The moon goddess was awake, coloring the mountainous landscape with her silvery hues.

A figure soared up into the air with untold elegance. The captivating eyes of the young man, reminiscent of the silvery hues of the moon itself, drank in the beauty of the night's panoramic view from the sky.


It was breathtaking, inspiring and empowering. Nature felt... so godly charming.

It was unlike the viewpoints that he cherished from the vantage points of Shanghai in his pre...

GEV 126: Holy Pill Bible, Exchange Hall

"Every Pill Master has their own insights on the Art of Alchemy, developed from experience and rare enlightenment, which results in varying alchemical techniques," Old Man Guan slowly explained to the attentive youth.

His calloused hands were placed on the charcoal gray Pill Cauldron as translucent red flames burst forth from his palms, evenly distributing heat to every inch of the cauldron.


Zhao Wei watched in rapt attention, analyzing Old Man Guan's flame control techniq...
