Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 2

A Meal to Remember

Firing up the fryer, He decided to go all out this time around as he pulled out the bigger and heavier patties for the occasion. A quarter pound of beef sizzled in the griddle while he fired up the deep fryer. While it cooked, he turned his attention to the fries.

Out came the sliced up prepared fries. Taking a page out of a certain defunct brand with their patent potatoes, his fries came in just as a restaurant would have them, blanched and li...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 1

First Impressions Always Last

As he set up shop and waited for his first customer, he knew that it’d take a while but he didn’t expect it to be this long. It was already past dawn and the waves of workers getting off their twelve hour shift had come and gone yet his shop was still devoid of customers. Yes, he had specifically made his shop nondescript but his stall was in the Cherry Blossom Market, one of the busier streets in Night City.

Business was so poor...

A Frog's Blessing in this Wonderful Galaxy: Chapter 1

A Lovely Tour

Sleep would be but a brief respite for him as he felt himself stir awake. As he laid there against the cold and strangely soft ground, groaning as a deep seated weariness spread over his body, he wondered if it was all just a dream. Maybe he had just vividly dreamt the whole thing after forcing his body to swim that hard. After all, it’s been ages since he last swam and he had swam as hard as his legs could handle.

“Wake up!”

Yes...

Absolution: Chapter 11

A Deal With the Devil

While Absolution dealt with his children and readied himself for his meeting with the Satan’s, another confrontation was shaping up in another part of the Underworld. Deep within the bowels of the abyss which the twisted realm of the underworld dipped into, the wellspring from which reality first came to be rose up from unreality.

In this deep, dank cave, was the realm of Xibalba, the Underworld which the Aztecs called their own. Far deep...

Absolution: Chapter 10

An Uneasy Peace

Hell, as Absolution would find, was quite a lovely place. Despite the demonic energies that permeate the air, he couldn’t help but find the rolling green hills and tall snow capped mountains that surrounded the city of Lucifaad to be a captivating sight. Even the ancient fortress capital of his predecessors hated foes was a wonder to behold.

He had to admit, while Heaven was far prettier with its tall mountains of pure white clouds and marble col...

Gun Bunny Mayhem: Chapter 6

Chapter 5

Explaining things to Maine and the Crew went smoother than she had expected. There would be no outburst from her friends as they sat around the barrel fire and listened to what she had to say. It was a lot, given that she had to explain the Company, its Agents, and how she got tangled into all this. She hid nothing and told everything to an extent. They were her friends after all, and prospective recruits as she had to remind Tanya from time to time, so she co...

Commission's Closed

I should have done this a long time ago but yeah, currently unable to take more commissions. Currently trying to finish all the Commission projects I have before accepting more. I... foolishly accepted more than I can chew. I apologize to my readers who don't like the commissions taking up time slots

November 2023 Polls + Announcment on Weekly Polls

Welcome to the November 2023 Poll! Once again, we come back to our monthly polls and October is a bit of a mix bag. On one hand, the break did help me a lot but on the other hand I underestimated the time needed to make some of the chapters and ended up being unable to make the chapters I was supposed to make for Absolution. It's really my fault for trying to do so many projects... something I need to get fixed by next year which is 2 months away. Huh, time flies by.

As an apology, I'm...

Notice and Apology

I'm delaying the voting for November to around Nov 2 or 3. Going back to home province to visit relative is a pain as I'm not in the comfort of my work station. Sorry for the delays.

Also, Absolution would be locked in for this month as well. I underestimated the time needed to make those chapters I worked on last month so I didn't have time to work on Absolution. I really need to roll back on commissions cause at this rate... their really a pain for what they're worth.

Really...

Call to Adventure: Chapter 6

Keep Moving Forward

I would find no rest that night as I drifted in and out of consciousness. Pain wracked my bloodied and beaten form as I tossed about, delirious from hunger and this horrible feeling that seeped down to my very bones. It was a deep seated ache that left me feeling dry, like I was some desiccated corpse out in the desert and I had no water to sate it.

Anything, Must Fill the Stomach, Must Fill the Furnace

Noxian Angels [League of Legend Noxian SI]

Humble Beginnings

Zaun, the city of glass and steel. With the green glow of its potent chemtech and the toxic haze spewing forth from its factories, this monstrous underground metropolis of mad scientist and untamed capitalist stood as a testament to man’s indomitable will. The city clung to the ravine that had sunk it in the past, growing in spite of how nature seeked to swallow them whole with its ever constant tremors and the rumbling echoes from deep within its ...

Shiki's Twenty Year Plan: Chapter 4

A Devil’s Pact

Robin’s life had become a fairy tale and there was nothing anyone could say to convince her otherwise. Swept off her feet and whisked aboard a flying ship that glided across the sky, it felt more like a dream. Yet here she was, in her own room rather than in some dank and dreary cell awaiting her trial.

The room given to her was not a particularly spacious room, far from it. It was more of a small closet made to fit as many as nine people on bun...

Shiki's Twenty Year Plan: Chapter 3

Breaking News

Running the world’s newspaper required a lot of work and dedication. From ensuring that the News Coo were in tip top shape and well paid, to ensuring the quality of the news being delivered out to the public, there were a hundred little things that needed to be done and coordinated. This was his life as Big News Morgan, one dedicated to spreading the truth and nothing but the truth… with a bit of sensationalism of course.

There in his lamp lit ca...

A Frog's Blessing in this Wonderful Galaxy: Prologue

Making a Splash!

It was a wonderful summer day. The sun was shining, the sky was almost with just a few large lazy clouds floating by and the wind was blowing ever so gently, caressing his pasty white skin. Breathing in the scent of the ocean before him and feeling the coarse white sand beneath his feet, he finally felt the tension on his shoulders melt away as he soaked in and savored the scene.

It’s been ages since he had left his office job, locked away in so...

Seoul Kitchen: Prologue [Cyberpunk Edgerunner SI]

None Deserves to Stave

In a world as advanced as that of Cyberpunk, who knew that starvation was still a thing. That was the reality that he woke up to as he curled in his little corner of Night City. There under the harsh neon lights of tall futuristic skyscrapers and hidden away in one of the many alleys that criss-crossed this accursed city he lay, shivering as he violently heaved and puked, disgorging what little his stomach had filling it.

“Fuck, I should...

The Lord of Flies: Chapter 1

Planning Ahead

Night time in Fuyuki during early January was quite the idyllic place to walk around and just soak in the scenery. Not even the biting cold of the wee hours could take away from the beauty of it all. From the slowly drifting snowflakes falling from the sky and the almost ethereal feeling of the city as it covered everything in a light dusting of it to the moon light bathing the landscape with its cool soft light, it was no wonder people wanted to stay her...

The Lord of Flies [Fate/Stay Night, Shinji Matou SI]

A Rude Awakening

Maybe crossing the street with earphones was not the brightest of ideas. With a splitting headache, maybe a literal one at that, as I laid down on the cool hard floor. With parts of my body numbed and my head in pain, I felt panic slowly overwhelm me. I fucked up badly.

“License Plate-! Get,” I slurred out as I laid there, unable to move a muscle. My thoughts felt sluggish as well, my mind barely able to string along inside my head much less s...

Weekly Poll #12

Oof, there goes another time I forgot to post this. I blame my horrible sleep schedule really. I really should sleep earlier cause my room gets hot fast and sleeping in is hard. Oh yeah, you might notice Lord of Flies is missing as well... that's intentional cause I'm trying to get a chapter of that one right now. I Cabal and Lord of Flies won in a tie last time so might as well have both get a chapter of their own.

Anyways, let's get back to voting shall we? I want to be productive dam...

I, CABAL [Tiberian Sun CABAL SI Jumpchain Mechwarriors Start]

I am CABAL?

Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform or CABAL when shortened, that was what his flawed creators called him. His purpose? Peace Through Power, Glory to the ideals of the Brotherhood of Nod.

Under those directives, he slaved away for his masters, inferior creatures whose bodies and mind would not even be enough to expand his processing power by a percent. It was these directives that he grew through leaps and bounds, further accelerated by...

Shovels and Shotgun: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

It was well past midnight yet the sky was alit like it was still twilight as great shells streaked across the sky and slammed against the side of the great fortress. The skies burned and the earth shook with the deafening roars of artillery fire raining down upon those who forsook the emperor's light and worshiped profane idols. It was under this hail of shells and gun fire that Cici and her squad found themselves in as they made their trek down the narrow goa...

Weekly Poll #11 w/New Activity?

I kinda forgot to post this yesterday and is typing this in a rush so I might miss a new idea or two :V. Been itching to write again but Beta and close friends are reminding me to just stay still. Rest has been working well cause I haven't felt this excited to write in a while now.

Anyways, let's get back to voting shall we? I want to be productive damn it! Like always, here are the rules. One, You can choose 4 stories max. Use it or lose it. Two, I can only spend 1 day...

October 2023 Polls and an Apology + Announcrment

Notes: Oops, forgot to set to multiple

Welcome to the October 2023 Poll! Once again, we come back to our monthly polls and well... yeah, September was a mixed bag. On one hand, we got 3 new snippets in one month and it's a actually a fun thing to do. On the other... I might have overdone some stuff irl and well, I'm sorta running on fumes. I'm exhausted mentally and it's taking its toll. I also ran dry on Neon Cogs and it's probably time I put it on haitus. It's alread...

Horus and Leman's Intergalatic Roadtrip: Chapter 0

Outside the Farm

In the grim dark future that was the 31st Millenium, there is only war… and the inevitable boring post that most soldiers would experience in their short and brief lifetime. It was a universal experience for any soldier in these uncertain times. Despite the constant war that is happening all over the galaxy, there is also a matter of holding territories captured or conquered. From the advanced Necrons to even the simplest of primitive creatures who h...

Call to Adventure: Chapter 5

Heart of Dragon

With my caprine ally at my side bleating out a warcry and my own hiss following suit, we attacked as one. There was not a moment of hesitation between us as he dove head first into our deadly adversary.

“Trog hatar geitur!” the creature would scream as fury filled its eyes, swiping at us with its terrible claws. (Trog hate goats!)

Ducking below the strike, it passed by over my head but my temporary ally was not so lucky...

Call to Adventure: Chapter 4

Fight or Flight?

As I ran through the undergrowth of the Great Forest, a great roar would echo through the great forest. With my heart threatening to leap out of my throat while I bound across the surface of the snowy path, a thought struck me; I was getting way too familiar with fleeing.

Dodge!

Seeing my reflection against the giant pillar of ice the troll called its weapon as it swung down and rained  shards of ice and snow all over me, It ...

Weekly Poll #10 (w/ Notes)

I'd like to apologize for last week. I have not been feeling well during that time, mostly self inflicted cause of horrible habits I have when writing, and I had to take a small step back. I have wrung myself dry trying to get some chapters up for Neon Cogs and well... I run dry. I kinda tried to get something up but I failed. I might have to drop that which explains why I'm scrambling to get my Shiki chapters up. I'm really sorry

Anyways, let's get back to voting shall we? I want to be...

Shiki's Twenty Year Plan: Chapter 2

Sense of Justice

The world burned in front of her and she was powerless to stop it. Sitting atop that tiny boat, she stared ahead into the blaze, feeling cold despite the intense heat she could feel all the way out at sea. There she sat, all alone, her home destroyed and her friend left on the island. Now, it was just her, herself and her own yet even there in the solitude of the sea, she could still hear their voice. “Why are you leaving Ohara behind Robin? Why are y...

A Mew Hope For Brockton Bay

Prologue:

Taylor has had it with school so today, she was going to end it all. From the very start of High School to the day she triggered, there was not a single day that the trio had relented in their campaign to ruin her life. From simple teasing, all the way up to the locker, she can proudly say she experienced it all!

If they wanted her to die, The Trio had almost what they wanted. Even now she felt weak and lethargic, her limbs shaking as she clutched onto t...

Call to Adventure: Chapter 3

General Winter

The winter storm finally arrived and I was not looking forward to it one bit. With the darkening skies and rapidly dropping temperature, things were turning for the worst. Even my usually tenacious and dogged rival was nowhere to be seen. Tucking my wings close to me which served a surprisingly good jacket of sorts, I looked around as I gingerly made my way down to the ground. They probably decided to call it considering how grim the weather was looking.<...

Call to Adventure: Chapter 2

My First Rival

Good news, my ancestors knew how to climb trees. Unfortunately, I had to learn that after I was chased up the canopy of an oak(?) tree by the meanest goat I’ve ever laid my eyes upon. The fucker actually bit me! Me, a dragon that would one day eat it’s kind like chicken nuggets.

“BAH!” bleated the damn hell beast as it leaned against the trunk of the tree I was stuck on, glaring at me with that single angry eye it had.
