The white horizon folded shut behind her. The smell of old stone, dust, and stale incense slid back into Hannya’s lungs. She exhaled a long, tired sigh.
‘Sixty minutes of diminishing returns.’
Left Direction had talked like a broken fountain, flowing and endless. Broad news at first, then nothing but lovers! Lovers fleeing in elopement. Lovers betraying for power or pleasure. ...
2025-09-26 13:00:20 +0000 UTC View PostLeft Direction froze, golden iris tightening. What was this little devil asking?
‘Her ancestral knowledge is incomplete!’ he decided. Only ignorance would let a newborn six-star stroll in and request a system.
Very well. If she was walking blind, he would, purely out of public service, and not at all out of loneliness, put a lantern in her hand to guide her path!

A foreign actor, a supreme vessel, one with sharp theories about futures that could have been and plans to implement them, ‘FF projects’ she would call them.
Right felt that a ranking like ‘FF’ didn’t do the girl's ingenuity the right amount ...

Tavja inclined her head. “Thank you. You heard it from the request?”
“Haha, Yes,” he said, a thin laugh in the syllable. “The audience request made that clear.”
She nodded again. “Then you know why I am here.”
“Indeed, indeed…” he said. The laugh came back, a little ne...

‘Fuck! That’s right! I’m in a devil temple…’
Not from a union birth. But a ritual bowl. The old method. From essence gathered from the lower races desires; condensed, refined, offered up until a supreme infant surfaces from the black sleep.And of course… the temple’s owner would be watching a succ...
2025-09-18 13:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostDeep underground, in a cavern large enough to shelter a two-story house, a small temple waited in the dark. The architecture was old, it could be considered a fossil if the cavern dirt added a second layer, its lines were stubborn and simple, refusing the centuries that had swept past. Dust lay in quiet drifts across everything it could claim.
At the center stood an altar that demanded th...
2025-09-17 12:40:01 +0000 UTC View PostRain hushed the countryside, a steady veil that flattened color and mood alike. Far from the city and its attention, an old mansion sat sagging and silent. Deep inside the ruined hall, four figures stood amongst the dust and rot.
Three seemed to be human. The fourth, a silver-haired elf in a light green dress trimmed in gold, a twine necklace at her throat bearing a wooden pendant that br...

One week after Tax Day, six months after Sodom bent the knee, and a year to the day since Corrine signed her tongue and soul away to Hannya, the border tent settled with a quiet calm.
Canvas walls were filled with writings of route sigils and inventory marks. A table of blackened oak held the relief map of the battle front. Twelve chalked r...

Sweet Oasis cooled under the setting sun, lanterns hanging heavy and bleeding warm light across the crystal clear pools across the natural resort. Inside the Temple of Gula, silks sagged in a comfortable coil and incense curled in lazy ribbons. On the cushioned throne, Gula lay half-sprawled, her eye lids low with a pleasant daze that follows a glutton...

2025-09-03 07:05:49 +0000 UTC View PostCashmere and the Fate Devil slipped into a hidden service corridor, a passage most blueprints pretended didn’t exist. The air was cool and still, the singular sound of footfalls was the only noise making low echoes throughout the silent path.
A hundred paces in, Cashmere’s pulse finally slowed enough for his curiosity to shine through the dark hall. “Businessman,” he asked the dev...
2025-09-02 13:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostHannya worked without hurry, but not slowly either. Her pace was the practiced movements of someone who’s set traps and also learned to step out of them just as smoothly. She hovered her palm over the large thorn rooted beneath Vainglory’s collarbone and wrote a neat collection of sigils in the air with a finger.
These sigils glowed stranger than normal scripts. They inverted, swallow...

The white text written over pale pink banners; the system’s neat rows scrolling up the newly made television.

The five points of the new grand array took the light and shared it evenly, not just as power and law, but as story, a narrative will that tells the abyss what to be until the abyss believed it.

Red thread, red thread, tie down what’s mine
Dead thread, dead thread, choke out what’s thine
If love won’t answer, then the silence will do
I’ll close every throat that whispers ‘not for you’

The note was as clear as a tipping metronome, followed by the sound of steel leaving its home.
Then Hannya’s body vanished.
The afterimage of her veil and white sleeves blurred away like a fading mist; the next instant her blade was where his neck had been, the edge a hairs breath from supreme flesh. It was a clean arc for murder, a spee...

His golden eyes narrowed.

High above the Grand Temple’s territory, her golden eyes cut downward, fixing on the heart of their empire as if she could see directly through the walls and ledgers to the marrow of their wealth. Her smile grew sharper.
Then she raised a single finger and pointed to the ground below.

2025-08-15 13:00:22 +0000 UTC View PostThe plush sedan sat unmoving in the quiet stillness of Greed’s forbidden zone. Around it, the air hung heavy, unnatural, as if the land itself held its breath. The forest they had traveled through just hours ago was gone, stripped away like old skin, replaced by barren, sun-bleached ground. And ahead of them yawned a canyon.
It stretched seemingly endlessly in both directions, a black s...
