“A solo, huh?” Becca teased as we watched the live feed from surveillance cams.
“Well, he works solo,” I replied. “But it looks like his last gigs were rough, and he decided to hire some muscle.”
Jack Mauser had rented an apartment on the third floor of a building in a not-so-great part of a pretty dec...
2024-12-14 23:28:50 +0000 UTC View PostI pick up the pistol lying by the door. The metal ball? It’s rolled somewhere under the cabinets. Screw it—any metal surface can serve as ammunition. Ignoring the twitching, convulsing body of the chatty lab coat lady, I open the door. From Deadpool’s direction, the gunfire and screams have almost died down. Either the ...
2024-12-14 23:26:08 +0000 UTC View PostLately, the new bearer of the Great Rune had been visiting the Roundtable Hold more and more often. It hadn’t gone unnoticed by its usual inhabitants—be it the cheerful warrior-mage Rogier, Roderika trying her hand at all sorts of crafts, Nepheli darting from one task to the next, or the ever-present Gideon, leader of the...

2024-12-13 22:29:00 +0000 UTC View Post"Are they planning to clear out the entire forest?" Snape inquired, gazing into the distance.
"They promised to only burn the spider's lair," Marina Nikolaevna replied. "Though judging by their enthusiasm, they'll likely catch some live specimens too."
"Yes, but those trees are falling. Acromantulas couldn't possi...
2024-12-13 22:27:23 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up to total chaos in the palace. People were running around like caffeinated squirrels. Even Sano got roped in and had been helping his mom since early morning. For once, no one had to wake him up. He spotted me and quickly filled my food bowls like clockwork.
What’s with all the hustle?
"Hey, Sano, what'...
2024-12-13 22:13:00 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t manage to visit the Lovegoods until three days later. Luna sent me a little black owl with a hawk-like head—Carla, she called her. Needless to say, I headed straight to her house as soon as I finished work.
Luna was tanned and had grown a bit taller, but her dreamy, faraway look hadn’t changed. It gave he...

2024-12-12 18:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostBursting out of my room, I dashed to the one next door. I yanked the door open—it wasn’t locked. Peeking inside, I caught sight of a woman in a yellow sweater diving through the wall opposite my room’s. I slammed the door shut and sprinted down the corridor at full throttle. I doubted the wall diver would catch her brea...
2024-12-12 12:22:55 +0000 UTC View PostThree days into my little espionage venture, I’d already recruited four Arasaka employees: three from counterintel (Frank included) and one finance guy. My targets were all people Abernathy had kept the most dangerous dirt on—violations so bad they’d get fired on the spot, maybe even get a prison sentence… or worse. 2024-12-12 12:17:45 +0000 UTC View Post
Melina and Ranni stood across from the unflinching Konstantin, who sat calmly by the night’s fire. Their gazes bore into him—frustrated, disappointed, and thoroughly unimpressed. Though they weren’t his waifus, they were still women. And their stares were so piercing, so heavy, that Konstantin could almost feel his HP b...
2024-12-12 12:07:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing I did after the initial shock wore off was yank my foot out of the melted patch of the floor and dart over to the unconscious woman. Too late, though. She wasn’t breathing anymore. Shock? Blood loss? Exploding joints and torn muscles don’t really help with keeping the vessels intact. Honestly? I don’t kn...

2024-12-11 18:49:57 +0000 UTC View PostDis is definitely suspicious!
Seriously, what are the odds that the clean-shaven Asuma, son of the former Hokage, just happens to show up here on his own? Yeah, no way I’m buying that he just strolled by and thought, “Hey, why not become a Guardian Ninja for the Daimyo?” Especially sinc...
2024-12-11 18:48:37 +0000 UTC View PostThe day was a whirlwind of activity, leaving barely enough time to carve out a quarter of an hour to visit the infirmary and check on Dumbledore’s condition.
Madam Pomfrey, who was just changing the bandages on Colhoun (the cheerful, freckled young man who had suffered an attack by Inferi), nodded towards the screen p...
2024-12-11 18:44:37 +0000 UTC View PostShopping took far longer than I’d expected. Potter had only ever worn his cousin’s cast-offs and hadn’t a clue about clothes. He didn’t even know what he wanted. Fortunately, Madam Malkin knew her stuff. After asking a few questions, she quickly pulled together everything he needed and even gave him a catalogue so he ...

The sorcerer’s robes fit Konstantin perfectly, though he wasn’t particularly thrilled about it. Surprisingly, the head-shaped crown didn’t obstruct his vision, and it did an excellent job of concealing his face from prying eyes.
Not that Konstantin relied much on normal sight anyway. A true Soulslike player treats...
2024-12-10 19:30:12 +0000 UTC View PostWow… I’ve officially unlocked new levels of the word “disgusting.” My vision is swimming and doubling, my ears are ringing and pounding, and my head feels like someone used it to brew one of Longbottom’s infamous potions. Let’s not even talk about my sense of smell—it’s in full retreat. I’m so ...
2024-12-10 18:49:42 +0000 UTC View PostReturn to Dogtown was smooth. No chases, no gunfights. At the gates, Panam and I were met by a Barghest escort—three SUVs in their signature colors. They drove us straight to the Black Sapphire hotel.
The skyscraper really did look like a gem—albeit a stolen one.
Inside, the corporate luxury vibe was still int...

"Minister,
I beg your pardon for not replying sooner. After enduring the stress of defending a school filled with children from an attack by Death Eaters, Dementors, and Inferi, I must admit I was utterly exhausted. I managed to hear Berkeley's report and attend to Dumbledore, who has suffered grievous injuries, but from t...

We didn’t even make it to the house before chaos erupted. Fred and George came charging out onto the porch, chasing a squealing, giggling Ginny. They were spraying her with something from a bottle, and a cloud of colourful butterflies swirled around her, tangl...
2024-12-09 19:04:43 +0000 UTC View PostI’m sorry guys, I messed up. The previous chapter was chapter 27, not 26. This is the missed chapter that was supposed to come out last Friday. The chapter I posted then should have been posted today. To make up for my mistake I’m giving you a bonus chapter. Sorry again and enjoy!

2024-12-09 19:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostMan, I’m awesome! Three hours straight at a constant high speed, and I’m barely winded. I’ve used up about half my chakra reserves, and the daimyo’s palace should be just around the next corner. That’s like... what, 30 kilometers per hour? Not bad! The cart carrying my lady is way behind—at least 40 kilometers bac...

And so there we were, the three of us gathered in Cyberspace. Canvas, brushes, paint. Welcome to the fucked up masterpiece.
Jory wasn’t fully here. Most of him was still behind the Blackwall, but like some of the engrams from Cynosure, he’d managed to throw an autonomous fragment into the New Net.

2024-12-07 20:38:16 +0000 UTC View PostRanni knew about Sellen. How could she not? One of the most talented sorceresses in the history of the Academy—there was no ignoring her. A heretic who used Academy apprentices for her experiments. A follower of a doctrine that would most likely lead to her ruin. A woman who wouldn’t mind overthrowin...
2024-12-07 20:32:00 +0000 UTC View PostI was coming to… slowly and painfully. Nausea churned in my stomach, and it felt like a crew of half-naked miners from a Rammstein music video was jackhammering my brain into rubble. My whole body felt weak, like I’d been lying in one spot for way too long. “Full-body bruise,” as the saying goes. Perfect.
“Ugh...
