The trio of shadows scuttled through the cave, following the map drawn by their scouts.
“In here?” “You sure?” “Yes.”
The cavern twisted and turned, sprawling in many directions. Without the map, the trio might have been stuck wandering the place for days or even weeks.
It was also pitch black. No light penetrated this deep inside. The sh...
2023-03-04 03:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: OwO what's this? An extra chapter this week? Yes! I'm finally managing to write and edit enough to be way ahead of schedule! Enjoy!

“What the fuck…” Jessica whispered to herself as she made her way through the street.
Apparently, Salem – yes, that Salem – used to be Pretty Spark, a magical girl 2023-02-27 03:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post
The story so far had been quite shocking. Apparently, the original magical girls and the demon lord had started out as friends. Max had a hard time reconciling that image with the regular battles magical girls got into with the demons nowadays.
“When Trish first told us that her powers were waning, we thought she was exaggerating. After all, the magical girls’ powers do actua...
2023-02-25 03:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“For the two of us, it started when Trish and Sally – that is, the first Pretty Flame and first Pretty Spark – invited us to hang out at some secret hideout they made… or so they claimed,” Annette, the first Pretty Frost began.
“Ahaha! Yeah, and what a hideout it was! An entire new dimension!” the other woman – Michelle, the first Pretty Bloom – laughed.

2023-02-18 03:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m home…” he mumbled under his breath as he closed the door behind him. As always, he did it gently and without making any noise. The door hadn’t hurt him, after all.
Leader’s reveal had been… unsettling, to say the least. Apparently, the demons were the good guys all along? It was hard to believe. Would that mean that the whole rebel army thing was a bust? Would they be t...
2023-02-11 03:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostPretty Flame shuddered as she rematerialized inside the shipping container next to her teammates. She looked over her shoulder to see the odd swirling ball of magic slow down and eventually vanish.
“So…” she said.
“So…” Frost repeated after a second.
“You know… I’m not even all that surprised about Jessica. This is her, we’re talking about,” Spar...
2023-02-04 03:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostThe shout startled all three of them. Cody jumped, Jessica snapped her head toward the source while the rest of her body froze, and Max summoned his demonic sword to his hand on reflex.
The magical girls emerged from the cave, where their hidden portal was. Pretty Spark stomped her way out, glaring at Jessica, but stopped a fair distance away upon spotting Max and his sword.
“Wha...
2023-01-28 03:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe three of them arrived at about the same time. Spark waved at them from her hiding spot, beckoning them to land.
“Spark! You okay? Where’s the demon?” Flame yelled out while looking around.
Spark immediately shushed her by putting a finger to her mouth.
“Not here anymore… But there’s something we need to investigate. Follow me.”
Her teammates were confus...
2023-01-21 03:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post“Good job, everyone,” Frost nodded to the others.
“Yeah… Ugh, this is just gonna keep happening, isn’t it?” Spark groaned.
“At least we resolved this one before it got out of hand…” Bloom added.
“But where does it stop? It’s not even the generals anymore. We’re running around, putting out fires set by some random spirits who decided to go and mess thing...
2023-01-14 03:00:01 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m home…” he muttered under his breath as he closed the door behind him. As usual, his voice sounded horrible without the voice changer tool, but that was to be expected. He couldn’t exactly use it in front of other people without outing himself, after all.
On the bright side, it seemed that Leader would soon be promoted to a general from the look of things. As a general, she ...
2023-01-07 03:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostShe lifted her hand and rapped her knuckles on the door.
“Enter,” the familiar authoritative voice called out from beyond it.
Jessica grabbed the door handle to open it and let herself in.
Ah, how nostalgic. The last time she had been called to Salem’s office, it was to sus out why she’d pepper sprayed that loser Forneus. Good times.
As she entered, the general...
2022-12-31 03:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostWith a wave of her hand, the flames swayed like a spiderweb in a wind, before curling up and converging into Flame’s hand.
On the other side of the room, the shards of ice finally clicked together as Frost and Spark stepped back with a huff. They looked over the ice prison with the demon inside, a grimace evident on their faces.
Finally, there was the unconscious kid. Bloom hadn...
2022-12-24 03:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostJessica huffed as she climbed to the top before wiping sweat off of her forehead and looking into the distance. She then pulled out a map from her bag and splayed it in front of her.
She hummed to herself and continued studying the map while she waited for the others.
Her two most loyal minions soon made it up and stood to the side as they caught their breath.
“Alright, we...
2022-12-17 03:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“You alright?” Cody asked, unsure.
“Yeah, I’m fine! That ointment worked like magic! You can stop asking me now!” Jessica said while rolling her eyes.
“Sure, if you say so…”
“I say so. Anyway, more importantly, any progress?”
Cody frowned and hummed. “Well, I found a few ways to do it. But I have no idea if any of them will actually work in practice...
2022-12-10 03:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, I was pretty speechless at first because of you being you. But once I calmed down and thought back on it then… I mean, come on! Did you see his ass?”
Jessica glared at her friend.
“Cody, I swear to god. If you have second thoughts and switch sides at the last moment because of the demon lord’s sexy ass, I’m gonna be royally pissed.”
“Wh...
2022-12-03 03:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostOut of everyone under his guidance, Jessica was definitely one of the wildest and most unpredictable ones. Also, absolutely uncaring about who she was throwing her spiked words at.
Honestly, who the heck treats the demon lord specifically visiting them as just some annoyance? Did she do that to her superiors in the human world as well? The demon lord had been so stunned, he hadn’t even ...
2022-11-26 03:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostJessica frowned as she looked over her creation.
It was a jet-black crystalline spear, made of various gems she’d found out in the demon realm, infused with magic and put together to form a weapon. It had taken her a long time, but once she had finally figured out the right combination, it had only been a matter of time. The demon general weapon had been completed. With this, she checke...
2022-11-19 03:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe demon attacks didn’t always have an obvious goal or even target. After all, why attack an amusement park? Just to cause panic and chaos? Or was there some greater plan at play?
That seemed to be the common topic of the magical girls’ meetings. Finding out what the demon lord’s big plan could be and stopping it before it could come to fruition. Although, they never seemed to figu...
2022-11-12 03:01:00 +0000 UTC View Post“What were you even doing here?! Why didn’t you run away?!” Pretty Spark shouted at Jessica as she sat on the ground.
“Erm… just hanging around? I didn’t think things would explode and stuff…” Jessica replied whilst awkwardly scratching the back of her head.
She felt mortified at how things turned out but did her best not to show it on her face. She had been overconf...
2022-11-05 03:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostJessica took a deep breath before breathing out a delighted ‘Aaah…’
The sun was shining, water was splashing about, and Erika was in a swimsuit! The essence of summer. How dare her past self suggest burying herself in magic books and trekking through a desolate wasteland all day instead? That would have been a crime against youth!
Naturally, all the girls were here, not just E...
2022-10-29 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe library in the demon castle featured a plethora of books on all sorts of subjects. Magic, swordfighting, cooking, gardening… But oddly enough, the one subject conspicuously missing was history.
Cody must have searched through the whole library at this point but he still hadn’t found any books describing what the heck had happened to the demon realm to make it so barren and deadly....
2022-10-22 02:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe two ran into each other on the way.
“Hey, Iris.” Sarah waved at her teammate.
“Oh, hey.” Iris smiled back at Sarah.
Just like everyone else, she didn’t look all that different from a regular university student in her civilian guise. No sparkling blue dress and azure hair, just boring old wavy brown hair, sweatpants, and a white tee. She also wore glasses even tho...
2022-10-15 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostShe breathed out as her eyes narrowed and her fingers let go. The arrow flew through the air across the field and hit the furthest target just barely off the bullseye.
“Nice shot!” a voice behind her cheered.
Sarah turned around and saw Cody from the drama club, standing by the door, watching her. She quirked an eyebrow at him. “Thanks. What’s up? Came here to admire my Robi...
2022-10-08 02:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post“This… no way, it can’t be…” the boy dressed in a Sherlock Holmes-esque outfit muttered to himself whilst raising back to his feet. “Combined with the note… and the bookmark… That means… there’s no other explanation…”
He made a sharp turn, locked eyes with the maid, and stabbed a finger in her direction. “The culprit… is you!”
The maid, Jessica, widened...
2022-10-01 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe high-powered laser beam disguised as an arrow closed in on her at blinding speeds. Luckily, she had already expected it. Just as the laser rocket arrow was about to send her flying like last time, the air in front of her rippled and crackled with a high-pitched sound as the projectile flew right into it, before shattering into glowing pieces, snuffing out, and vanishing.
She looked at...
2022-09-27 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostJessica took a deep breath, taking in all the scents from the surroundings.
“Aaah, yes. The warmth of fresh summer air!” She chuckled.
Cody looked around to see charred plains, jagged rocks, and pools of dubious liquids surrounding them.
“I’m pretty sure that’s just the lava…” he murmured.
“Hey, why are we out here? It’s just a dead wasteland!” anothe...
2022-09-23 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View Post“Sooo… This is something I’ve been thinking about. What exactly is the demon king’s goal? His ultimate plan?” Cody asked.
Jessica looked up from the map and her notes and frowned. “Well… to take over the world, I guess?”
“Yeah, but why? And how? There are so many random rules that make no sense with that in mind.”
Jessica hummed. “Hmm…...
2022-09-19 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostA/N: Hey there everyone! I'm back from the dead! The surgery went well and now I'm back at home recovering and getting used to my new existence. Also! Finally new chapters! Yay! Hope you enjoy!

“Alright then, my loyal sacrificial pawns! Let’s wrap it up for today! Until next time!” Jessica shouted over the room full of minions.

2022-09-15 02:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostJessica, along with six other minions who looked eerily similar to her when in costume, walked through the door into their general’s office.
The general inside scanned over them with her ever-frowning eyes as they entered. Salem, an adult woman with long blond hair, blue eyes, and a permanent scowl on her face. She wore her moon-shaped domino mask and her battle dress.
All in all,...
2022-08-31 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostJessica let out a sigh as she stepped out of the shower. She idly toweled herself dry before changing back into the minion outfit, all while thinking about one person – Erika.
Just as always, after the whole pepper spray incident and her subsequent indirect confession, Erika had simply ignored it and brushed it off as a joke.
Well, it had been a joke. But still, something...
