It was the only thing on his mind after Iris had told him she wanted him to be the successor. He’d spent an entire day daydreaming about fighting alongside the other magical girls, transforming, using magic to seal evil demons…
It would be like a dream come true. It would be everything he had ever wanted.
But… Could he really take it? Did he truly deserve it?
These thoug...

The message read ‘Jessica we can’t unfreeze Iris! Get over here!’
It seemed that she had gotten carried away a little. She hadn’t expected a throwaway spell to be this effective.
Either way, she still had to go through some paperwork after the attack, so she couldn’t go free Iris im...
2023-07-14 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostJessica huffed as the four looked at the diagram she had drawn.
“Well, in theory, it should be possible then. But…” she trailed off.
“Only a person can be the fifth weapon,” Sally finished, scowling.
“In theory! Maybe there is a way to transfer it to an object, but right now… yeah.” Jessica couldn’t help but slump down a bit. It has been weeks of sec...
2023-07-12 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe entire reality froze around Max as he heard those words. Everything else disappeared. There was only Iris, the second generation Pretty Frost, leaning on his window sill, looking him in the eye with a serious expression.
“Wha-- How… what?” Max choked out.
“I want you, Max, to be the third generation Pretty Frost,” Iris reiterated, still looking straight at him.

Jessica rolled her eyes. “Well, it’s only fair, isn’t it? If anyone deserves to know, they do.” She shrugged before glancing at the four girls. “But I’m not sure why you all are also coming. You will have to leave ...

“We don’t have to be!” Flame pleaded. “You don’t have to follow the demon lord! You can be free!”
“I am free!” Jessica bellowed as the special effects team ...

“Yeah? What are you doing?” Sarah asked.
Cody – who had joined them all at the table – fought down a grin, already knowing where this was going.
“We’re doing a contemporary piece. Something about the magical girls and all that.” Jessica eyed Erika. “I was wondering if y...
2023-07-04 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostJake wasn’t sure how to feel anymore. Ever since Cathlyn had died and the dubious demonic spirit had invited him to join the demon army, he had been almost obsessed with revenge and getting stronger. So much so that he had more or less abandoned the one person that still connected him to his late wife, his daughter.
And then it turned out that she had done exactly as he had and joined t...

“So… the wolf would get shot because of an affair? Seems like quite the extreme punishment.”
“Well then, why not make it a love triangle between the wolf, the grandma, and the huntsman!” Jessica grinn...

“He’s a total prick,” Sarah summarized.
“I’m sure he had his reasons…” Nicole tried, before turning to Max. “Right?”
“She… didn’t tell us about that bit. I never even knew that her dad abandoned her after her mom died…” Max admitted.
Sarah groaned at that. ...
2023-06-28 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“So you lost the attunement a few months after leaving the demon realm,” Jessica asked as she looked up from her notes.
The ever-frowning woman in front of her nodded.
“And Trish lost it after she got pregnant.”
This time, the woman scowled but still nodded.
“Hmm…” Jessica narrowed her eyes.
“Before you ask, no, I never got pregnant myself,” Sally...
2023-06-26 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe three watched from afar as their target left the premises. They exchanged a brief glance and a nod before following after her.
They slipped out of the front entrance of the school, keeping an eye on the black-haired girl from a distance, making sure to stay far enough to avoid her notice.
No matter what she had said, no matter how well she had acted, they knew something was off ...
2023-06-24 02:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostAs Nicole made her way to the school, she couldn’t help but to look around and extend her magical senses around her just in case.
No Jessica… Or Tepes.
Yesterday had been a huge shock for everyone. Max telling them was one thing, but actually seeing her as a general, many times more powerful than before, and decidedly not pulling any of her punches? It really h...
2023-06-19 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThis was definitely cheating. She didn’t really even have to do anything. Just pledge her soul to an ancient demon spirit and bam, her total magical power nearly quadrupled.
Before, she could almost handle fighting all four magical girls at once. Now? Well…
“Nightfall!” she shouted as she spread out her arms.
Dark magic flowed out of her and enveloped the enti...

It was hard to get worked up about Math or making friends at school, when just the other day he had fought a demon alongside the magical girls and then his newly appointed demon general boss had told ...
2023-06-12 05:53:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe demon lord – he’d said to call him Baugh in private – walked at the front. Behind him, three of the four current demon generals. Tepes, the enchantress; Salem, the moon witch; and Hecate, the princess knight.
It felt quite strange to finally be one of them. Up until recently, Jessica had been a faceless minion, after all. She still wasn’t quite sure why they had to be...

Jessica had made it, then.
As soon as she returned, she gave a little speech in front of all the gathered minions. It was quite good. Half the minions felt fear and the other half awe. Something about he...
2023-06-03 02:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostThe trials were pretty straight forward. Kind of cliche, as well.
First she had to face off against some golems – who Jessica crushed – to prove her strength, then she had to solve some puzzles – it reminded her of video games – to prove her mind, and then finally she entered the last room where the great ancestor or whatever waited for her.
Long story short, Jessic...

A/N: Hey there everyone! I found my old drawing tablet and decided to doodle for a while, but before I knew it, I had a complete cover art on my hands. Anyway, here's your regularly scheduled chapter.

Jessica was stunned.
Really, what even was there to say?
Apparently, the demon lord and the first Pretty Flame had a kid together. She had gon...

What the hell was this?
“Human,” the thing called.
“The fuck are you?” the man snarled at the thing, inching away from it.
“I am like you. Betrayed. Thrown away. Forgotten.”
A strange unsettling feeling bubbled up in his gut. As if the creature...

Hecate hovered in place, staring down at her adversaries.
“Is that all you have, magical girls?!” she howled at them.
Just as always. Just as daddy had told her to do. The magical girls weren’t strong enough to seal her away anymore. It had to have been the attunement deterioration in Frost daddy had spoken about...

Here's something different. See, with the way I write, sometimes I take the story in a certain direction before realizing that it wouldn't work, backtracking, and having to delete entire chapters that would no longer work.
Here's a chapter I had to delete some time ago because it no longer fit, but I found it too fun to never share it with the world.

“Well… Not really,” he mumbled. “But… I think this is important.”
The magical girls in civilian guise exchanged a glance.

The others simply nodded in agreement.

2023-04-29 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostJake grimaced as he watched his daughter’s back. She hadn’t spoken to him since they had left, and he hadn’t tried to talk to her either. What would he even say?
‘I’m sorry!’? Or ‘I can explain!’? Maybe ‘You’re grounded, young lady!’?
No, definitely not the last one. The last one might end up with his head impaled on her spear.
Still, he was surprised tha...
2023-04-22 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostJessica strolled through the castle in her minion outfit for what should be the last time. Her eyes scanned over the hallways and the various minions here and there.
Her role as a minion was over. All in all, she had done pretty well. Although rather than staying as a minor background character on the stage, she had become notorious among both the demons and the magical girls, while claim...
2023-04-15 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostMax groaned.
Of course. Of course, he would run into the magical girls fighting someone just one day after Jessica left for the trials. Why ever would the world let Max have a relaxing stroll through a park?

She didn’t quite remember what first Spark had looked like back when she had handed over hers and the first Flame’s weapons. But then again, it had been years.
