Double or Nothing: Prologue [One Piece Kuina SI]

It All Started With a Dream

Shimotsuki Koushirou has always considered himself a just and fair man. As the master of a humble dojo in a peaceful little corner of East Blue, such traits was something that one develops when dealing with children. Too harsh and he’d built resentment. Too soft and he’d make them indolent. Gentle in guidance, but firm in teaching. It was a fine act, one which requires balance of not only one’s action but one’s self as well. Sometime...

A Chaotic Modern Family

Chef thought he’d finally some peace and quite after all that he’d been through today; Oh what a naive fool he was. Once more, he found himself in a scene of chaos. His carefully arranged living room was a mess, pillows lay strewn about, his books scattered on the floor, bloody footprints tracking through his carpet, while his kitchen? The less he tells about his kitchen, the better it was for his mental health.

Viva La Revolution!

Never in Kermit’s wildest dream did he ever imagine starting an armed rebellion but here he was, in the middle of it all. As his rallying cry (one that would make even the founding father proud) echoed across the city, so was he met with the war cries of those oppressed by Vect. Freed by Lady Malys and those that sided with her, the slaves were out in force.

Be they young, old, deformed or particular grotesque, it was an endless tide of sol...

Neutral Grounds

Seoul Kitchen, the one place that everyone goes to the Cherry Blossom Market for these days. Luis can’t exactly blame them as he often finds himself getting dragged here as well. With a bottle of coke in hand and plate full of fries and Doner on the table, he cheered as he and his friend cheered on the musician that decided to set up shop near the shop.

“Encore! Encore!” He clapped along with the other on lookers, cheering Old Johny one. T...

My Adventure Romance as Noble Devil Heir in the 1950's is a Thriller, as I Expected: Chapter 1

Day in the Life of Devil Heir

With a yawn, he woke up from his accursed dream. Opening his eyes, he stared up at the clear, sunless sky above as a large dragon flew overhead. It was so strange seeing the bright blue sky without a sun. It simply looked out of place despite the nine years that had already passed since he woke up in this world yet this was the norm. If the sun were to shine in hell, something must have went horribly wrong.

My Adventure Romance as Noble Devil Heir in the 1950's is a Thriller, as I Expected: Prologue [High School DxD/Fate]

Prologue:

When one thinks of hell, they would think of rivers of fire and brimstone. To the more scholarly type, they would think of Cocytus’s freezing winters or the various tortuous realms of the seven rings. In truth, Hell around August was relatively balmy, not unlike the scorching summer heat of July. With the tall snow capped peaks surrounding the river valley, weather in the Astaroth Realm was absolutely perfect yet the Lord of the Astaroth Land’s couldn’t...

It’s Good to Have Friends

The day ended as the firsts and last batch of Bagels left his oven. “You take care now ok?” He shouted at the retreating figure of a certain Arasaka Security Specialist, “And try not to overwork yourself!” He added as the girl gave him a casual wave before they disappeared in the sea of people going to work.

He waited for a few minutes, just standing there with bathed breath before he let out a sigh of relief. “Fuck, that w...

Short Break due to Health Concerns

Sorry for not getting to post lately. Just had some health concerns IRL. Need a bit of a short rest to get myself back in order. Will be away for a week, and that's already counting two days after I last posted.

See you guys on Monday. I'm really sorry for not getting you guys updated on it.

New Room Mate?

Watching a tiny girl demolish bowl after bowl of Ramen was quite the sight the sight to behold for Chef. “Where the hell is she putting all of that away?” He whispered in mild fascination as the blonde terror slurped up the last of the broth before letting out a loud burp. She certainly had an appetite, he had to give her that.

“Makes you wonder how she just didn’t strip you down to the bones eh, Rebecca?” Kiwi asked as she lowered her b...

Impromptu Interrogation

If somebody told him just a few years ago that he’ll be attacked by a doppelganger, he would ran for the hills as he wasn’t going to take his chances with a possible psycho but here he was, holding one in his pantry. With the girls hands tied to her back and her legs tied to the chair, she wasn’t going to get anywhere soon. Off course, he wasn’t alone. Maine and the gang were here having answered his call for his help.

One Good Day

The day started like usual, with the ear piercing blare of his alarm. Groaning awake, he laid there in bed as he struggled to opened his leaded eyelids. With blurry eyes, he gazed up listless at the dingy ceiling of his apartment. Everything was hurting.

His body felt like the weight of the world rested on his chest while his head felt like it was being stabbed by a long painful spike. Each and every ring slammed into his head, making him want to pu...

Overnight Preparations

It was quite strange to see the normally vibrant Cherry Blossom Market so quite and empty. Aside from a few stragglers bar hopping and the occasional burst of music from advertisement, the market was devoid of activity. After all, it was the wee hours after midnight; just a few hours before the new day rolls around. It’ll be a few hours before any customers would come around, perfect for today’s preparation.

For a brief moment, Chef wondered if he had offended the man as a long and uncomfortable silence descended between them. He felt sweat drip down his brow as the man gave him a long hard stare before they slowly replied, “You want this shit chipped in you skinny ass?” Snorting in amusement, they then commented, “You know, there’s plenty of other ways to get zeroed but this one ain’t it chef, it ain’t a fun way to go.”

A Court Date with Destiny

Kermit paced around his dark cell as the roar of the crowd rang just outside. Even from deep inside his prison, he could hear them celebrating. If not for Lady Malys’s warning, he would have mistaken it for a joyous festival for his eventual release but he now knew better. Commorragh was in the midst of celebration not for him but what they intend to do to him.

He shook his head as he let out a sigh. He should have listened to Red, that...

What a Lovely Night

They say that to experience Night City to its fullest, you have to wait till the sun goes down. For Chef, no truer words could have been said as he breathed in the wonderful scent filling the air. The sun has set and night once more took over yet the denizens of Night City has yet to sleep, after all the day has just begin.

If things get busy during the early hours of the day, Night City was whole other beast as people flocked the Cherry Blosso...

The Local Gossip

Chef nodded in satisfaction as he stared at the filled up before him. It was just a simple job posting; Help Wanted, Cashier. With a low enough requirement of High School level Arithmetic, anyone older than the legal age should be able to apply for the job. Even someone with a criminal record could apply for it so long as they have the patience to deal with people. It was perfect really, the problem was, “What the hell am I going to pay them with?”<...

Help, Wanted

The Arasaka Northern Honshu Research and Development Facility, one of the most heavily fortified and well secured compound in the entire world, was cracked open by a large explosion. The once unremarkable snow covered hill was now a gaping open maw as harsh claxons and gunfire filled the air. Black soot rained down upon the ground as a towering cloud of acrid smoke rose up to the dark overcast sky above.

It was a scene of utter chaos as people, both w...

Breathing into his aching hands, he gazed up as he watched the stream of advertisement go up to the black void above. With the morning sun yet to break through the horizon, it’ll be quite a while before it heats up to an almost intolerable level; plenty of time to enjoy the early morning here out in the desert.

It was peaceful, quite, almost tranquil even so far away from society but one question quickly came to mind as he slipped his hands inside the...

Tis a Silly Place

The street and car ahead of her were a blur as Rebecca’s bloody ride weaved and slipped through the traffic. For such a massive car, it handled like a dream, able to turn on a dime and accelerate like it was no one’s business.

To be on the driver seat of such a beast should have been something to enjoy but she hated every second she sat there. The longer she was here, the longer she was away from her man. What use was this car if it couldn’...

Rivals Forever

Without a moment of hesitation, I rained hell down upon the bastards that dared attack Ramsey. The bone chilling winds of winter bathed them as my icy breath poured of my mouth, making the poor unfortunate wolf in my path yelp in pain before their expression was forever captured in ice. Landing hard on the ground, I barred my teeth as I placed myself between the remaining wolves and my rival.

While the unsettling discovery of the camp rattled my spirit, it still wasn’t enough to deter me from going in further. If an Ice Troll or a fully grown White Dragon couldn’t kill me, what danger could a human pose? I think I could handle well enough. There was adventure to be had and the ruins weren’t going to explore themselves!

Moving on from the site, I continued my trek up the canal. As I headed in deeper, the canopy overhead started ...

Commission Opened and Benefit Adjustment for New Patreons

Commissions are opened up for next month. As it had been a year or so since I started writing, rates will be adjusted for inflation. Rates moving on forward will be 1.5 USD per 100 words. It will take some time before I get to do the commissions however as there is the matter of sorting through the wait list to check if people are still interested.

The schedule of current works shouldn't be affected too much. The voted works will have priority but commissions will take up some time. R...

A Not So Forgettable Meal

Saburo cocked a brow as he stared at the long line that stretched out from the Market. For such a humble store that occupied the less traveled part of the market, it certainly drew in quite a crowd. From normal blue collar workers in their rugged overalls to finely dressed suits from his company, all of them stood in line to grab a bite. For a shop to have such a draw, Saburo couldn’t help but be mildly impressed.

Sitting in the corner in his lonesome, he fumed despite the cheers and merriment of his fellow officers around him. How could he not be furious when his comrades celebrated this occasion, this retreat after their valiant fight over the Coral Sea.

Kermit raised his pick with a grunt before bringing it down as hard as he could. Dragging away the rubble he made from the webway, he lifted his tool once more and did it over and over again. It was just him, his guard and the tunnel he was making. Even as sweat dripped down his form, he found the monotonous motion wearing away at his mind.

With only his work to keep him busy, he found himself in the very same hell he wished to escape. He was onc...

Trepidation

I sat there at the edge of the camp in trepidation, dread filling my veins as my eyes jumped to the shadows. Despite knowing that the camp had long been abandoned, days or maybe even weeks considering the amount of snow caking the fire pit, I still found my eyes drawn to the shadows, jumping at any movement in fear of who might come out of the shadow.

“It’s just a camp, nothing to be worried about,” I told myself as I gingerly took a step towar...

Reflection

As I walked under the canopy of unfamiliar trees, I found my eyes drawn to the ruins of buildings littered about. While thick and overgrown with vegetation, the rubble that littered this part of the forest loomed over my tiny form. Tall pillars, massive monolithic stone, towering statues of kings and heroes past; all the hallmarks of a once proud civilization left in ruin. I was no longer in my part of the woods.
