Double or Nothing: Chapter 8

Cats and Birds

Under the cover of darkness, she crept across the rooftop quietly, careful not to draw attention as the sound of celebration filtered through the windows of the roof. Grimacing as the roofing squeaked beneath her feet, she leaned in close, peering down to see her quarry. With their rough appearance, the way they swaggered about, and how they openly carried their weapons; it was all to clear what they were; Pirates.

The smell alone had her gagging...

October Polls 2024 + Weekly Snippet Results

Welcome my back my beloved patrons. It's that time of the month again! A new a month has arrived and with it, comes a new wave of updates~ However, before we get into the polls to chose this month's lucky chapters, let's look back on September.

A month away from Seoul Kitchen really got me excited to write for the series again. Time really does make the heart grow fonder. There is a bit of a kink in the schedule though...

Uchiha has yet to be written but not to be worried. I pla...

Double or Nothing: Interlude 1

The Vast Blue Sea

Oftentimes, it was all too easy to forget just how vast the ocean could be. With miles on end of nothing but the gentle waves rocking her boat and the few stray clouds drifting in the clear sky, it felt almost endless. It was only when she was alone in this blue expanse that Kuina started to appreciate the sheer size of the world.

"Hey Coo, don't you just hate how long it takes to travel between islands?" Kuina asked her lone companion, a News ...

The Imperial Palace

Jaghatai took a deep breath before he buried his face against his palms. "Sometimes, I wish I was back in that cell rather than dealing with all of this," he muttered to himself as he dragged his palm across his face and stared at the mountain of documents and reports before him. At least there, all he needed to worry about was his survival rather than the fate of the Imperium itself.

"Did you say something Lord Jaghatai?" One his secretary ...

Weekly Polls # 18

You guys really like The Empress Can't Communicate huh? I'm glad you enjoy it cause that thing went longer than I expected... I really shouldn't be surprised if my fics go pass the 5k per chapter at this point. I'd love it if it was shorter, as it's less work for me, but it was just to fun making my ideas come to life.

Speaking of ideas, we have a few new contenders today! I wonder if any of them would catch your eyes or if the older ideas would be the one to win the day. Well, there's...

The Empress Can’t Communicate: Prologue

There is Always Hope

The Eldari Core Worlds were a sight to behold. Like gleaming pearls in the dark sky, they shone with a brilliance in both the material world and the immaterium alike. Its surface was littered with monolithic structures made of Wraithbone, the Sea of Souls made manifest. With their impossible shapes, they soared up into the heavens, drawing the eyes of those that beheld them.

Standing amidst the crowded street, he could feel the power thrumm...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 38

A Cup of Noodles

As the final applicant left, bag in hand and waving at him as they slipped into the evening crowd, Chef smiled. Shaking his head, he slipped back inside his shop and closed the shutter behind him. "Crazy Bastard," He chuckled as he reminded himself to get these all recorded in a brain dance, "Talk about making an impression."

Glancing at the mountain of empty instant cup noodles piled atop the table, he picked three before tossing the rest in th...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 37

His Most Loyal Customer

Chef hummed happily as he cleaned his little corner of the market. While the shutters to his shop remained half closed due to the interview's he'd be making later, he still liked to keep his place clean. It wouldn't look well for his future employees if his place looked like a trash heap. Cleaning also helped take his mind off his talks with the Tyger Claws.

Getting a schedule from the gang's upper echelon was going to take time. He was ...

Sapling Amongst the Cloud: Prologue [Dungeon Core SI] [Patron Reward Funded]

Tutorial 0

Have you ever just laid down on a field of grass and looked up at the sky, watching the clouds pass by without a care in the world? There was just something about the way those giant balls of fluff lazily float by the sparks of imagination; How soft and fluffy were they? They would make quite the cozy bed if I could just gather enough of them.

I knew they were mostly made of ice and water vapors, with a few bits of dust, debris and even bacteria as n...

Seoul Kitchen: Chapter 36

Can I Trust You?

While Toga ate, he pulled Rebecca aside to their shared room. He made sure to hide their meals, seeing how the teen was eyeing them. He made a mental note how he needed more eggs as the batch he made wasn't enough for the girl's bottomless pit of a stomach. Locking the door behind, he shared his plan to his output.

He spoke of it in length, making sure not to omit any details. He only had the rough outline right now, having to hammer in some det...

A Matter of Trust

The ride back home was a somber affair for Chef. He felt the teen's words weighing on his mind as he stepped out of the Delamain and walked back to his apartment. In all his time helping people, not once did he consider his fellow store owners.

While his cheap food helped those in need, it was hurting those that were just earning a living. He didn't even realize he was causing them trouble until that girl shouted it at them. How much damage ha...

Oh, one more thing before we start this poll. The winner of this months poll is Seoul Kitchen and the Uchiha Incident. While the second place was a bit close, Seoul Kitchen threw it...

Profiteering From Magical Girls: Chapter 3 Part 2

Shady Dealings for Profit

The day quickly passed by and soon, Utena had to go home. We bid our goodbyes as we went off to do other things. While she studied, I found myself waiting in a shady corner near Nerima Station. Off in the way side and away from prying eyes, it was perfect for discreet meetings and off course, dealing with the shadier side of city life.

With a medical mask on and a jacket to warm myself, I stood under the flickering street light as I wai...

An Alchemist's Ware

Recruiting Utena might just have been one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon, the perfect day to brew some potions. Sifting through the various boxes of Reagents, I sorted out the freshest and highest quality ones from the rest. It took a sharp eye to separate them but picking out the one's without any damage and the most luster to them made all the difference in getting the best yield and the best grade. View Post

Profiteering From Magical Girls: Chapter 2

Dungeon Diving is Better with Friends!

As much as I hated how stuffy and uncomfortable my armor was, I had to make sure that I was adequately protected. Dungeon Diving was serious business after all. I was under no illusion on how fragile I was. I needed those [WIS] and [INT] more than extra constitution after all. Now covered to toe, I turned to find Utena staring at me all wide eyed and blushing. Did she see something while I wa...

The Birth of a Froggy Nation

Staring down at the large horn in his hands, Kermit couldn't help but whistle in appreciation. It was simple in design, a curved horn made of bone, but he knew he held something special the moment he laid his hands on it. "Oh wow," Running his hands across its smooth, bone like surface, Kermit swore that it felt like this thing was alive as warmth radiated from its surface.

"The first thing I made after getting out of that bitches s...

Opportunity Cost

Standing there with my eyes locked on the Magical Girl in her civilian disguises, I found myself frozen in fear as my heart hammered away at my chest. I knew I asked for a magical girl but that didn't mean that I needed one now! Gritting my teeth, my hands inched for my inventor while my eyes were locked on her.

The Lawman: Chapter 2

To Face One's Fear

The last few months have been a wild ride for Morisson. From making contact with the Imperium of Mankind and finally meeting his "father" and brother, to hashing out the details to his daughters education, safety and their very future, he had barely time to breathe. He knew that this day would come the very moment he woke up in this world and saw its alien sky but it simply was an entirely matter living through it.

And Face the Future

It was another beautiful day in the Shimotsuki Dojo. The sun was shining, the birds were singing and the cries of Kuina's complaints filled the air. "Fuck, that hurts so bad!" She gritted out as Zoro pulled at the bandages hard.

"If you weren't squirming so much, we would have been done with this!" He scolded him but she couldn't but squirm as her friend tied it up before moving to the next wound. She won but at what cost? A few more days on ...

To Move Forward

Passing by the paddies of rice and rolling fields of grass, Kuina found herself walking down alone on a familiar beaten path. Countless times had she trekked down this road, having long since committed the steps to memory. Through familiar groves of trees which provided shade upon her weary brow, down the beaten path worn into the earth by her own feet, she followed its meandering trail back to where it all began and where all of it will end. Once more,...

Let Go Of The Past

Time waits for no one and before Kuina knew it, it had already been five years in the future. Sweeping the last bit of dust off her cave, she found herself gazing up as she caught sight of the woman in the broken mirror hanging near her bed. Staring back at those dark brown eyes, she found not the gangly awkward teen but a woman in full bloom.

Reaching up and cupping her cheeks, she could scarcely believe what she saw. The baby fat she once h...

Wardens to the Valley

It was one thing to hear just how cold it was out in the wilderness and it was another to actually feel it against one's own skin. Cupping my gloved hands together, breathed some warmth so she could at least feel the ax in her hands. With the cold winter chill blowing against her, it would prove to be a losing battle.

Shivering, she trudged forward, wading through the dense undercover with her snowshoes, "Dwarves aren't built for the cold,"...

Taylor had never been more terrified in her life as she faced off with Glory Girl. Hanging there over the tall highrises while a brute stared her down had her breaking in cold sweats. Yes, she had Mew with her but that doesn't change the fact that she had nothing on her to break a possible fall down. One small misstep and she might find herself splattered across the pavement below

Kermit felt the breath in his lungs get knocked out as he landed hard down on the ground below. Powering through the pain shooting up his right arm, he forced himself back to his feet. With fist clenched, he squared himself up only to find the Daemon God slumping over on the tower; their eyes rolled up their sockets and their hands hanging limp. Silence soon reigned in the battlefield as the giant daemonic lay unmoving.

July went better than I expected and worst than I hoped. Kinda wished I could have written more and made more but I just have to deal with what I did. I do love how the Uchiha Fic went cause after a few tweaks, it really came on its own. Here's hoping that we'll get more fics and chapters like that this month. Speaking of the new month, do you know what time it is?
