Luo idly wondered if there was something wrong with his sauce. It was a much better thought that he was imagining this whole thing. Unfortunately, thanks to a discrete pinch to his thigh, he was very much awake, and thus stuck as he watched the…intruder…munch on the stir-fried beef. Luo had put down his own bowl, which was getting colder by the minute, kept his arms low, and didn’t take h...

Hi! It's me. Here I am with another short story. A brain fart after reading and watching a lot of subjects on conflict.
"As you've said to me countless times: you're joking."
"I wish it wasn't, but it's true."
Sully suppressed a shudder as he saw Pli'irnys's dark eyes narrow. If the lounge's lights were off, the little irises in each one would glow like lava, ...

Will this be a oneshot or a full story? I dunno, but I saw the Black Myth Wukong trailer and the muse demanded I write. Will be posted on the sites sometime!
Come now, you surely must have heard of him.
Most know that he guarded the great monk, alongside his fellow disciples, to retrieve the sacred scrolls. For his actions, he was granted Bud...

To bear the name Hassan-i Sabbah is to don the mantle of death. Not just as the head of the Order, but a living incarnation of death, a messenger of Azrael upon the Earth, carried by his black wings, which enshroud all men in due time.
Death flies on many wings, as all men can attest to. From the cold sting of the blade to the gentle kiss of old age, from the most ...

“Ahhh, now that is a drink. Waiter! Another one!”
Bahamut couldn’t help but wrinkle his nose at the sight of the woman’s - ‘Dimaria’ he reminded himself - enthusiastic drinking. He was certain that they made quite a sight: a boy and a girl drinking juice with an older woman drinking ale like no tomorrow. He might’ve laughed if the situation wasn’t ...

Hi guys! Just a little oneshot I made. Dunno if it'll be a story, but you're welcome to pitch in and vote if you want it to! It's a Code Geass crossover, with what? Find out!
Cycle of Samsara, four paths converge: joy, sorrow, envy, anger. Once one, now four, then one again.
Manifest by the atman, they were scatter...

“RITSU OGAWA, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?!?”
At times, I realized I’d encountered situations that would make even hardened veterans flinch— serial killers, the yakuza, human traffickers; you could fill out a bingo card with that.
“DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS WHEN YOU WEREN’T HOME!? I CALLED YOU TEN TIMES AND WAS

Guess who? IT IS I ZIM -er, DRAKE!
Fear not, for I come bearing gifts - cookies, ice cream and a piping hot chapter, straight from the keyboard!
I do not own My Hero Academia or the Nasuverse, all disclaimers as usual. You know the drill, read, review, moo, yodelayheehoo. Constructive criticism is welcome as always.

This mission is shaping up to be the most catastrophic one I have undertaken since donning the mask.
A lunatic priest who made an organ farm and taunted me with his ‘work’ for days on end.
When I found him, he wiped the floor with me and almost ended me then and there.
Out of desperation, I brought in a skilled outsider - who I don’t know if I can fully trust.
The ...

“Ecclesia, could you calm down for a moment? You’re going to wear down the floor.”
The blonde saint stopped her pacing and looked at him with a frown. “Sorry. But I can’t help it! You saw what that man did!”
Albaz grimaced as he flashed back to the…spar. The defeat was bad enough, but the man nearly stabbed him through his heart!
He sighed. “Yeah, I’m not hap...

Along with being a history nut, I’m an avid enjoyer of video games. Single-player mind you, no MMOs for me, but I’ve played all kinds of them, adventure, action, indie, puzzle, even a few horror games. A common foe that I’ve encountered in my digital adventures were undead, of all shapes and sizes. Depictions of zombies and undead have given me a pretty good idea of what to expect.

“Is something wrong with the fireplace, lord husband? Shall I fetch a servant to douse it?”
The elder Velaryon gave a quick glance to his wife before returning his stare to the blazing wood, tongues of flames flickering in and out of the steel cage. One hand was idly fiddling with his sea-blue robes while the other held a silver chalice of Arbor Gold. The gentle sloshing of the wine w...

It's been two days since Dabi sent me that photo. Two days of digging around and eavesdropping. And I can feel the proverbial clock ticking.
'Still nothing.'
I glance at an empty plastic bottle near my feet and resist the urge to punt it down the dark street. Even though I doubt anyone would hear it thanks to the blaring music coming from behind me. I pay it one more glance...

“Hush and be still.”
The adolescent before him kept screeching and twisting in his restraints. A futile effort.
“Rejoice, young one. Know that the path to the truth will be further revealed with your sacrifice.”
He placed a hand on the youth’s chest, seemingly savoring the crescendo that was his cries.
“Now, enlighten.”
In a flash, the floor becomes s...
