Chapter 140

[Nemuri Kayama]

“Only you, Kazuki,” Hina said and she could only agree, a fond smile on her face as they regarded the Nevermore and what Kazuki had written with it on the computer. Apparently, he’d found a friend inside the League of Villains, somehow. The one they’d lost track of, his ex-neighbor.

What a small wor...

It’s Hard to Find Divinity-

[Aika Kiryuu]

Things had been… calm, for a definition of the word.

Her days had become a bit of a routine, but that was hardly new, really.

For quite a while, however, school had become a lot less important in her life. Difficult to be concerned about that much when she was learning magic. Her gra...

Chapter 6

“What’s with the short hair? New you or something?” the woman asked him when she eventually pulled back from the hug. He could appreciate the attempt at casual conversation, but it fell a bit flat. She seemed to realize that, because he saw her expression twitching as if going to grimace and taking it back.

“Of a sort, I guess,” Travis answered w...

[Hina Maeda]

“Kazuki, you brilliant, brilliant child,” she whispered, the tip of her index finger running a feather’s touch on the top of the Nevermore’s head, almost like she was afraid it’d disappear if she applied more force than that. “Are you alright?” she asked, her heart twisting into knots at the possibilit...

If I Can Get Through This

‘It’s been a while,’ Joshua mused, watching the illusions dance around him. Once things had calmed down and he was doing better – not fine, not yet, but soon, maybe –, he’d decided to take a step back and give his daughter the attention she deserved and that she hadn’t been getting. So, for old times’ sake, he’...

Chapter 5

Travis had expected it, but a part – a very small part – of him was still somewhat taken aback.

It was two days after he hired her that Catherine was absent from work. ‘Heroin, probably,’ he thought to himself. Right when withdrawal for it would hit her, like clockwork. He could be wrong, but he was pretty sure he wasn’t. That was the no...

Chapter 138

‘Situation just got even more complicated,’ Kazuki thought warily.

All the previous glee and confidence that he got from the interview to Aizawa and Nezu had gone out the window. The shock from the reveal that no, Shigaraki wasn’t the leader of the villain group, was enough to snap him out of it. Back to square one, Kazuk...

Mind, It Wavers Back and Forth

“If you would give me a minute to get ready…” he said over the communication item he’d made specifically for Ophis. He didn’t really get further than that though, leaving the sentence hanging to gauge how the dragon would react. It wasn’t like he wanted to make her wait, of course. Not at all. However, it wasn’t like h...

“Ok then,” Travis said, setting down two cups of coffee and a mug of hot chocolate on the table together with a plate of snacks. “So, you-”

“What kind of bar serves hot chocolate?” Jason asked, interrupting him while he glared at the offending drink he’d been presented with. Then he turned his angry look towards Travis, who simply raised an e...

[Momo Yaoyorozu]

Time since the attack had been the most frustrating she’d had to get through in her life, and also the most worrying. She wasn’t even sure how long it had truly been, because she was pretty sure it’d been a day, unlikely to be two. Yet, she felt like it’d been weeks, months even. Time crawled by and every second ...

Whatever Makes You Smile

“Are you sure you’re okay to come here?” Serafall asked, for the third time at that. Not that Joshua blamed her, but still. “Going with Gabriel is one thing, but here…”

“I’m fine, Sera. I promise,” he said, even though he was lying. He did, in fact, feel a little off still. He couldn’t put his life on pause forever though...

Melted Hearts

[Kurotsuchi]

Eiji Satou had saved her life again.

Eiji Satou had saved her pride again.

Walking besides him and his group, she pondered that, filled with shame and frustration and a number of other emotions. She wanted to show her gratitude, she wanted to scream and she wanted to run. She could do none of those thi...

Chapter 3

“Joseph, man, are you ok?” Travis asked, giving the man a beer. “You are here everyday,” he pointed out. It was just fortunate that he’d caught the man at his bar alone for once, if only because apparently his friends were coming later. As he said, Joseph seemed to have gone into his bar one day and not one afterwards had he been absent. Even his frien...

[Hina Maeda]

“I’m not here for you,” the villain in front of her said and she almost paused. But she knew that’d be a mistake, considering the man and his… work. “You were on my list, once, but… I was convinced to take a second look at things,” he explained. The way his eyes were fixed on her, barely – if ever ...

I Can’t Erase This Feeling

[Joshua Davis]

Even after passing out and staying that way for the better part of two days, only sporadically waking up for about an hour or less each time, he still felt like he’d drop at any moment.

Not all of it was because of the now infinite source of power that he had, but that was the big...

Chapter 2

Travis preferred being in the bar.

It wasn’t because he’d spent most of his life there though, not really, although it did play a part, he supposed. He’d done his homework on the counter almost every time, under the watchful eyes of his father. He’d spent afternoons with friends sharing drinks, with and without alcohol depending on when it...

“I can’t believe this,” Melissa said and the silence that followed was more of an answer than anything else any of them could have uttered. Komako shared a look with Ronaudo – their host, since they didn’t have access to their club room on a break – and Futo, both of whom looked just as concerned as Kom...

‘Til I Burn Beyond Control

“What… is that?”

Ophis’ words made Joshua freeze further. There was something deeply disturbing about someone else seeing the Game. Nobody had so far and it was just… one of those truths of the world, as far as he was concerned. Nobody saw the Game, the Game existed for him alone. After all, not even he could find any ...

Chapter 1

Life could take interesting turns, Travis knew, but sometimes… Sometimes those turns could be a road that leads right off a cliff. That’s how the last turn felt like for him, in all honesty, and that might have been a bit of an understatement. He wasn’t sure how one could classify waking up to news that one’s parent was dead, much less… everything ...
