Finally, we finished sorting out the rooms on the first floor and moved on to the second. Honestly, I couldn’t tell much difference after all the cleaning. Everything still looked just as gloomy and grim, and the empty display cases, sideboards, and bookcases stared out at the shadows with dull glass, making it feel like the place had been ransacked.
The faded silk wallpaper we’d patched up was already peeling off in tatters again, and within an hour of dusting, there was a fresh th...

Even in a fair one-on-one duel, the follower of the Godskin cult had no real chance of defeating Millicent. Their strength was roughly equal, with a slight edge leaning toward the red-haired warrior.
But once Thops appeared, the situation changed completely.
The strange bald man didn’t just assist from a distance—flinging glittering arcs of magic from his staff and pulling aggro like a pro—but also fearlessly closed the gap himself, striking with a sword in the other hand.

“From the dusty mesa
Her looming shadow grows
Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote
She twines her spines up slowly
Towards the boiling sun
And when I touched her skin
My fingers ran with blood.”
I hummed the tune in my head, watching the scorching California sun finally start to sink below the dusty wasteland. All day it had been busy as hell—handing out skin cancer, melting parked cars, and peeling p...

What can I say about the trip to the target zone? Absolute garbage. Flying on that rustbucket of a chopper sucked ass. After two hours of rotor noise and collective silence, we landed at another rinky-dink airport that looked like it had been abandoned by civilization sometime in the '70s. Then we switched to a small plane that matched the setting perfectly. Don’t ask me the model—I’m pretty sure dinosaurs built it. And the smell in that thing? A brutal mix of sweat, unwashed rags, and ...

Elden Ring: My Ending

Gaara and Naruto stared at each other with open suspicion. Meanwhile, I sat between them, flicking my ears, trying to figure out how to handle this situation.
“Namaiki-chan,” Naruto crouched down to get a better look at me, apparently deciding to ignore Gaara for now. “Where’d you run off to? Were you mad ...

Chapter 69
I was tearing through the Forest of Death like a bat outta hell, spooking the local wildlife left and right. Sorry, critters—urgent business! Gaara’s floating eyeball trailed after me, doing its best to keep up. Cool jutsu, sure—great for the desert, where you can see everything to the horizon, or inside tight s...

I stumbled out of the fireplace in the living room, completely dishevelled, and found myself under the startled gaze of Charlie and Bill, who were in the middle of having a coffee.
“Er… Ron, something happen?” Charlie asked carefully, putting down his book and eyeing my dazed expression and the wand clenched in my hand.
“You look like someone just hexed the life outta you,” Bill snarked, though his sharp gaze ran over me, checking for injuries. Once he saw there was noth...

As soon as I got back to the school, I went looking for Yuriko. Found her exactly where I expected—second floor library. She hadn’t changed a bit. Same cold expression, same frosty stare peeking out over the book she was reading. Although, I could’ve sworn there was the tiniest glimmer of amusement in her eyes... ...

As she prepared to lie with Godwyn to birth the Rune that would be bestowed upon a new Lord and usher in a new Age for the Lands Between, Fia never imagined that the dream she had pursued for so long… would come true, but with such drastic changes.

Night was already creeping in, and every damn movement still made my brain go, “Why the fuck was that so fast?”
While waiting for Becca, I skimmed the theory behind the procedure they'd done to me. Neocortex—the “new” cortex. Just 2–4 millimeters thick, but responsible for the big stuff: sensory input, motor control, conscious thought, and speech. Basically, what makes a human a human. But below that lies the old brain—the unconscious, the autopilot, the lizard shit keepin...

Bad news: Internet is still shit.
Good news: Moving to a new place by the end of the month and I've got a workaround for the shitty connection until then (I hope).

Watching Master Smith Hewg at work had been fascinating from the start, yet even after weeks, months, a year—perhaps longer—it never truly lost its allure. The old smith was an artist; there was simply no other way to describe the weapons he crafted for the Tarnished.
Drawing raw material from smithing stones, Hewg transformed even the most ordinary metal into blades capable of withstanding blows and sorceries from the strongest beings in the Lands Between. The weapons given to Tarn...

I paced the apartment while Lucy sat in silence, staring at the table in the dim light.
"Well?"
"I'm thinking about where to start," she said. "Where do you think I was born?"
"Hm… no solid info on that."
"Take a guess. You were trained in counterintel, right? Try profiling me. Analyze what you know, and I’ll tell you how close you are."
She stood up slowly, moving to the bar counter, where she grabbed a dark green bottle of absinthe. Poured herself a glass, ...

Castling the Long Way
The Second Task took place on Saturday, right after breakfast. By half-past eight, the castle was buzzing as students, full and content, streamed toward the lake in eager anticipation of the next spectacle. The day was perfect—crisp, cold, but not windy—ideal for standing outside without freezing into a solid block of ice.
And honestly? Thank Merlin for McGonagall. She pulled us aside before breakfast to warn us about Hermione. Otherwise, Harry was this close to tearing up the entir...

We made it to the tower.
I managed to stir up some ambushes and trigger a few traps along the way, keeping the enemy busy while having my own fun messing with the other "kids." Meanwhile, my sneaky little team slipped right through and made it inside—along with me, of course. They were greeted, escorted to a room where they were supposed to open their scroll, and before I knew it, the doors had shut behind them.
I got distracted by all the new scents. The tower was massive, mult...

The issue of the Tarnished’s clothing had now become a pressing matter for not just one but two women.
The first had managed to find the Tarnished and bring him to Stormveil Castle, then sought out fabric worthy of demigods and even Goddess Marika—but she hadn’t accounted for the fact that an ordinary needle wouldn’t be able to handle such a special material.
By some miracle and through titanic effort, Boc had managed to stitch together something resembling c...

Exams. So much weight in that word, so much suffering woven into the heart of every student.
But screw it—praise be to Tzeentch—I did it! I walked out of my last exam for the day in a state of euphoria. Who would've thought I'd ever feel this hyped? It wasn’t even about passing the exams, really—it was the sheer anticipation of free time and all the ways I planned to fill it. Hell, I didn’t get half this rush on my first night patrolling, but today? Today, I closed ou...

“…More horrifying details are emerging about last night’s tragedy at Konpeki Plaza,” droned Arif Iqbal, his well-groomed face twisted into a mask of concern. “The fires have been extinguished, but the search for bodies continues. So far, the confirmed casualties include one hundred and forty-eight Arasaka hotel and security personnel, along with thirty-five guests. Netwatch agents report that the cyberattack on Konpeki was likely executed using...

Castling the Long Way
On Christmas morning, the Great Hall was buzzing—the upper years were more lively than usual, and the overlapping chatter made it sound like someone had let a hive of overexcited bees loose. Students were unusually energetic, caught up in last-minute discussions about the Yule Ball—those who had dates were smug about it, while the unlucky ones looked on with thinly veiled jealousy. Personally? I didn’t think all the fuss was worth it.
Harry, though, looked seriously tense, his fac...

"Tora-san!" I was scooped up into familiar arms and pulled close.
A scent I knew wrapped around me, warm and comforting. Slim fingers combed through my fur, sending a shiver of pleasure all the way to the tip of my tail. For a few glorious minutes, I completely lost touch with reality, purring uncontrollably. My nose even started running from sheer happiness, and—oh crap—was I drooling? Like Akamaru when I wave a treat in front of his face?
"Missed me?" She held me up and look...

Stormveil Castle had changed even more since his last visit. The reused asset of Maliketh had helped resolve the curse problem, allowing the castle’s servants to start proper rebuilding without the fear that everything would just collapse again. Moreover, the sun had risen above the castle for the first time in ages, transforming its entire atmosphere with its mere presence.
Kosta even thought he saw occasional smiles appearing on the lifeless faces of the living dead.
