*Chapter 32: Lesson One*

The screen flickered to life, displaying footage of that lopsided space battle. Three bounty hunter ships tore through the Fourth Civilization’s fighter swarm like they owned the place. The Blade fighters’ basic electromagnetic cannons didn’t even scratch the hunters’ shields. Even the infrared laser weapons, underpowered as they were, only made the shields ripple faintly.

On the flip side, the bounty hunters’ turbolaser and blaster cannons were one-shot kills against t...

*30. Scheming in the Shadows*

Outer Rim, Modell Sector, Endor System.

Marth Ferrasi gazed out the wide viewport of the mothership, her eyes fixed on the beautiful planet Dawn below. Her thoughts were a mystery, even to herself.

She and the three others who’d gone ahead to prepare cargo on Dawn were now housed in the mothership’s dormitories. The living conditions were comfortable—plenty of food, no worries about survival. Compared to the slums of Corell...

Chapter 70: Penny's Choice

In the end, thanks to the efforts of the sheriff and Molly, the motel was spared from burning down completely.

Afterward, the sheriff did a quick search of the motel and found a large number of human remains, many with signs of being cut up and cooked.

This confirmed what Molly had said earlier – the motel was indeed a front for something sinister, and the owner, Kevin, along with his three employees, were all cannibals.

A rough count revealed over a dozen bodies th...

Chapter 69: Son of the Devil

Among the seven demon kings of Hell, there is one named Beelzebub, who represents gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins.

Beelzebub's more common depiction is that of a huge and fat fly, which is why he is also known as the Lord of the Flies or Fly King.

In demonology, if you see a demon that looks like a fly or a similar insect, you can basically conclude that it is a member of Beelzebub's retinue.

Just like Kevin right now.

Roy kept shooting at Kevin with his Remingt...

Chapter 869: A New Beginning

At the heart of the island.

On a massive rock.

After checking his status, Seimei closed the panel and glanced up at the sky.

This morning, he’d slept in until he naturally woke up, so he was already running late. By the time he broke through the limits of his physical body, it was nearly noon.

The transformation of his body took about half an hour. Testing the limits of his Byakugan took another two and a half hours. Add in a bit of time wasted in between, and...

*Chapter 868: Transformation *

Time ticked by, second by second.

About half an hour later, Seimei opened his eyes again.

In that moment, the invisible shackles that had been holding back his body’s growth seemed to dissolve into thin air. His entire being felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted, leaving him with an indescribable sense of ease.

But that wasn’t all.

Seimei closed his eyes, focusing on the Hashirama cells that had long been integrated into his body. Before, even though ...

Chapter 51: Leverage and the Secret Manual  

The Elite Class classroom was thick with drowsy monotony.  

Even the lush pothos plant by the window seemed to wilt under the weight of boredom.  

Naruto, for once, was diligently copying notes—though his face twisted in agony. He glanced at the stern-faced Hikari beside him, swallowed his complaints, and forced himself to keep writing.  

Meanwhile, " Hikari" sat rigid, her 2025-05-16 17:28:05 +0000 UTC View Post

Just because he stood at the doorway and took one more glance, he was struck dead with a single slap! 

There was no room for negotiation, no mercy whatsoever! 

Standing once again in front of his family estate, Fugaku Uchiha was stunned for a moment. Then, he felt his body trembling even more violently, his heart gripped by an invisible, dark hand, making it nearly impossible t...

No matter how much resentment or discontent they felt, in the face of absolute crisis, they had no choice but to prepare for battle. 

Kirigakure could not fall.

Bruno Mars—in 2020, Chinese fans affectionately dubbed him “Brother Mars.” He was undeniably one of the absolute top dogs in American pop music, with eleven Grammy Awards to his name and global album sales surpassing twenty million.

His 2014 collab single “Uptown Funk” dominated the Billboard charts, holding the number-one spot for fourteen straight weeks. It even clinched the title of Billboard’s song of the decade for the 2010s, cementing an unbelievable legacy. ...

“Ah… help!”

A wave of chaos erupted from the hallway, Cliff’s desperate cry piercing the air. But Ronan, unfazed, gave the motel door a casual kick to shut it, sealing the noise outside—though the thin door did little to muffle anything.

Munching happily on his burger, Ronan caught Alice’s eye. She shook her head with a helpless smile but held back any snarky comments. Instead, she deftly opened her email, clicked into the inbox, and scrolled quickly until she...

A production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with a budget of $150 million—

That’s Warner Bros. for you. No other studio could pull that off.

But after the initial shock, taking a step back and thinking rationally, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory grossed $430 million worldwide. That’s certainly an impressive number, but from a financial standpoint, it wasn’t enough to make Warner Bros. a significa...

Irie realized something.

The Mitsuya he knew was definitely not the kind of person to be so generous.

“Is this a trap?”

Irie’s heart tightened, and he quickly composed himself.

“Irie, calm your emotions. Don’t let yourself be swayed by extreme highs or lows.”

Mitsuya looked up at Irie, his eyes seemingly piercing through h...

It was late, but Tom Rothman still hadn’t clocked out. He was waiting for news.

Today was <Spider-Man>’s preview screening.

In Hollywood, niche films like artsy dramas or horror flicks get test screenings, while blockbusters like this get previews.

Both share a goal: build buzz. It’s a marketing play.

For a big commercial flick you’re confident in, a preview lets die-hard fans, critics, and media kick off the word-of-mouth, setting...

Watching the audience around him, totally locked in, and hearing the constant bursts of laughter from the back, Dunn knew he had a hit on his hands with Spider-Man.

Two hours felt like forever, though.

Even if it was his own film, he wasn’t exactly thrilled to sit through it. What really piqued his interest was the business card tucked in his jacket pocket.

Natalie sat to his left, so he had to be subtle. He carefully pulled out the card, memorized th...

"Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday!"

Was Solomon Grundy born on a Monday? Nobody knows.

The only thing Cody could be sure of was that he died in the nineteenth century, specifically in 1894. It had been a hundred years since his body was dumped in the swamp. Now this monster had risen from the dead in that swamp, but he had a new name.

He sang the nursery rhyme he'd heard as a child, casting himself as the Solomon Grundy in the...

*Chapter 37: The Third Job*

When Police Commissioner Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent arrived at the warehouse, it was already mostly burned down.

The reason was simple: nobody called the fire department. Because calling the fire department costs money.

If someone's own house was on fire, naturally they would call the fire department. If it was a neighbor's house, maybe a good neighbor would help. But nobody knew what was in this warehouse, and nobody could find the person in charge right away...

*Chapter 36: Time to Make a Name*

The system had already flagged these things as counterfeit currency, so Cody didn't have any particular qualms about burning them.

However, the fact that someone could produce this amount of counterfeit money in Gotham City and hide it so discreetly could only mean that the people who manufactured it were professionals. This meant that Cody had better not be caught burning this mountain of money, or he would likely face the wrath of those people.

The following evening.

McLaren Bar.

“Wow!”

As soon as Adam walked in, Lily and the others let out gasps of surprise.

“Barney is doomed,” Lily muttered to herself, her eyes lighting up mischievously.

Adam’s natural charm was undeniable, and now, after a professional stylist had worked their magic, his outfit and overall look were top-tier. This wasn’t just a simple 1+1 situation—his transformation was exponentially greater.

Adam shot back in an even more exaggerated tone.

Adam's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface.

That would be the worst-case scenario.

Although he hadn't done anything with Nora—after all, what could he possibly do in just thirty minutes? He was sure everyone knew that.

But then, something unexpected happened. B-1 droids rolled in fuel carts and engineering vehicles, refueling their two ships, patching up the hulls, even hauling away the mercenaries’ bodies fr...

Chapter 68: The Fly

The reason revolvers are so popular is that once you load them, you don't really need to maintain them. You can leave them in a drawer for years, and they'll still work when you take them out. Plus, you don't have to worry about them jamming.

Automatic pistols, on the other hand, if you don't use them for a long time, you have to take the bullets out of the magazine. Otherwise, the magazine spring might have issues.

The only real downside to revolvers is that they don't hol...

Just as Clive pulled out his gun and aimed, he saw a revolver suddenly appear in Roy's empty hand, pointing at him.

The guy's head instantly felt a little dizzy. Where did that revolver come from?

In reality, Roy and Penny had been carried into the dining room almost completely naked, with only a blanket wrapped around them. Logically, Roy's only weapon should have been the one he was born with.

Little did Clive know that Roy had an inventory.

And so, the first ...
