Naruto’s tense voice cut through the thick silence like a kunai. "What happened to Sakura?!"
Even the campfire seemed to burn quieter, and the rain outside had stopped its rhythmic tapping against the rocky ground. Sasuke wasn’t even breathing, frozen like a statue.
"Relax. She’...

That trip did something strange to me. I learned a lot about myself—some of it was not exactly pleasant. For one, I realised I was a sentimental idiot, a proper product of this cushy modern age—a pampered weakling who’d grown up thinking meat just appeared on shop shelves by itself.

Cold, damp twilight. An industrial zone near the bay.
“A2, report status,” a voice crackled through comms.
“On position,” David replied.
“Understood, A2. Hold position with A1 and wait for reinfo...

Some dreams just fuck me up.
The Sketched Man? He still makes some sense—like, maybe some cosmic entity noticed me because I remember my past life. But this shit? The nonsense I dreamed last night? What the hell does Strucker have to do with anything? Why the f...

One question. Just one question crossed Melina’s mind the moment she saw what was happening.
"What is going on?"
Two men—one half-naked, the other clad in heavy armor—stood a short distance from the manor on the scorched volcanic plain, burning each other with their gazes alone....

The trip cost me a fair bit—thirty-five Galleons just for the travel, another ten to join the expedition, and fifteen more for a translator, a Portkey, and getting all the paperwork sorted between the two Ministries. But I didn’t regret a single Knut, even if I was a bit put out at first.

"Man, our first real mission was just plain stupid," Naruto grumbled.
"On the other hand, Kakashi-sensei let us use radios," Sasuke countered dryly, shooting me a look. I, on the other hand, was practically vibrating from suppressed laughter and sheer pride.

Elden Ring: My Ending
There was about an hour left before Penelope arrived. Initially, I planned to meet her at the airport, but we agreed she’d come straight to me, and then we’d head out together with the whole gang to visit Mama Betty. With time to kill, I pulled Mom Judy into the bathroom with the classic ...

In the Lands Between, there weren’t many left who hadn’t at least heard of Kosta. You’d have to try really hard to avoid hearing about the Tarnished whose strength surpassed that of demigods. The bearer of three Great Runes, the one who, with high probability, would soon becom...

Other than the shower, the apartment now had a curved bathtub—no jacuzzi, but big enough for a couple of people. Whatever Evelyn had thrown in there smelled pretty damn nice. The water had turned a pale pink, with flower petals floating on the surface.
"Shower first," Lucy cut off my atte...

The Tarnished was fast, and Sellen knew it. Watching him cover distances in days that would take an ordinary person weeks—if not months—had only been surprising for the first few days.
Konstantin’s spectral steed wasn’t called the fastest mount in the Lands Between for nothing.

Naruto was fidgeting, restless, grabbing onto anything he could in the kitchen like he didn’t know what to do with himself. He washed the dishes. Started cooking something. At this hour? Well, I guess he was hungry—probably drained a ton of chakra too. He put rice on the stove t...

Lupin showed up three days later, only to resign and leave the castle five days after that. Snape had let slip that he was a werewolf, and soon enough, furious letters from outraged parents flooded in. The students were gutted—everyone liked Lupin, and, to be fair, he was the most reasonable De...

The Maelstrom AV was descending, wobbling dangerously as it tilted to the side.
What the fuck was this thing? Looked like a modded-out civilian model, barely holding together in the air. But it had three machine guns, missiles, and at least some armor.

Avoiding Snape’s gaze, I reached for another biscuit and calmly finished my tea in silence, idly staring at the crumbs on my plate. Truth be told, I was more than a little rattled, but I was doing my best not to let it show. I doubted I was fooling him—Snape wasn’t some gullible first-year...

Mizuki came out about ten minutes later, hesitating for a second before finally walking up to Naruto. I stayed put, perched up in a tree, watching.

Phil Coulson… One of my favorite characters in S.H.I.E.L.D.
No, really, I always liked him—charismatic, sharp, level-headed, definitely not an idiot.
