I'm sorry for not being able to write and post anything recently. I have a really valid reason though.
As you're all aware, I recently had to take in my mother to help her after some surgery on her foot. Taking care of her wasn't an issue, I'd do almost anything for her because that's what family does. Her dogs, on the other hand, are not in the same level. Especially not her German Shepa...
2023-10-05 14:00:11 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro calmly walked over and took the seat that was almost directly across from Mephisto. He wanted to keep the ancient devil within his sights. Mittelt sat alone on the love seat. Once they settled in, Mephisto snapped his fingers causing a spell circle to appear on top of the central table. A tea set, finger sandwiches, and assorted small snacks rose from the circle. Mephisto leaned towar...
2023-09-18 20:01:45 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a while for Excalibur Ruler to calm down from its clear excitement, which led to another small problem. Ruler refused to enter any of Junichiro's many expanded pockets and pouches. Any time he tried to place the sword in one, it vibrated in a rough way that almost made him think it was growling at him. He was honestly shocked at the sheer amount of personality the sword was showing as h...

I usually hate putting these up at the top of my chapters but in this case I'll make an exception.
After seeing what was said in the last chapters comments, I've made a teeny tiny change to how that chapter ended.
Mittelt shuddered a bit at the tone he used. It was the same tone he used when leading them during the... 2023-09-04 13:06:10 +0000 UTC View Post
Junichiro looked at Mittelt after her outburst only to see her looking at him with a blank expression and dull eyes. When she spoke her voice sounded hollow, “You know. I thought you were just fucking around and having a little fun. Granted digging a kilometer into the Earth didn't seem like much fun at first, but the cave is kind of cool. But then...”
Here her expressionless face mor...
2023-08-31 15:16:25 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro hadn't a clue where in Britain he actually was. World geography hadn't been something he needed to know in his last life. Combined with his lack of schooling in his current life? It left him rather inept at knowing here he might be. For all he knew, he was in Scotland somewhere... Maybe?
Whatever.
His exact location wasn't important, what was important was that he'd been s...
2023-08-30 19:18:58 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro let out a soft yawn as he slowly woke up. As he opened his eyes he spotted a mop of golden blond hair splayed over his chest and felt a warm body cuddled up against his own. It took him a moment to recall the events of the previous evening. It'd been a couple of months since his first date with Mittelt and things had been going well between them, though they were still taking things s...
2023-08-29 14:36:56 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro looked up from his work as the alarm he set went off. Today was the day he was going out on his first, of hopefully many, date with Mittelt. There was no need for them to spend the whole day on the date, rather they decided on a nice evening date. With that being the case he'd spent a good portion of the day working on projects. The one currently in his hands look like nothing more th...
2023-08-27 14:11:26 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro walked out of his bedroom with a wry grin on his face. He'd just noticed the date and realized he'd spent the last week doing nothing but playing with Sword Birth and testing his theories about it. Needless to say, he was a VERY happy camper. However, he'd missed out on all the activities he normally participated in during the week and had been neglecting his work. Not to mention his ...
2023-08-24 00:46:26 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro spent some more time experimenting with his Sacred Gear before calling a stop to it. Or at least, a stop to making various different swords to test what he could do. He was pleasantly surprised to learn that size didn't matter with one of the experiments. As long as the thing he made could be identified as a 'sword' it could be small enough to fit on a charm bracelet. That, in and of ...
2023-08-22 03:24:46 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro sat in one of his chairs in front of his jewelry workbench. The Sword Birth amulet sat on the desk in front of him as he stared at it. His right hand was twitching and tapping the tip of a wand on the table, he was still marveling at the level of feedback he'd managed to get from the prosthetic. Meanwhile he lifted his left to take a drag on an herbal cigarette.
He was currently...
2023-08-21 14:17:34 +0000 UTC View PostA little over four hours later, Junichiro re-entered his home to find Azazel, Mittelt, and the Yokai woman all sitting in his living room and sipping on sake. A dozen empty bottles littered the low central table with a few more fallen to the floor. He had no idea where the alcohol had come from. As much as he enjoyed his herbal smokes, so different from the tobacco cigarettes he'd liked in his ...
2023-08-20 20:28:33 +0000 UTC View PostA few minutes after Azazel left to collect the soul sucking yokai that had a copy of Sword Birth, Junichiro entered the dining room and found Mittelt sitting at the table munching on her lunch. He gave her a grin and waved with his freshly replaced arm, “How goes it?”
Mittelt snorted but then her eyes narrowed as she looked at the replacement limb, “Wow, that one actually looks real...
2023-08-17 17:04:32 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro exhaled a cloud of purple sweet smelling smoke as he stretched his arms over his head. His spine let out loud cracking sounds that caused him to groan in pleasure. His latest project sat on the table before him but before he could begin to admire the finished product, the door to his workshop opened and Azazel stuck his head inside, “Sup?”
Junichiro lowered his arms and pluc...
2023-08-10 22:31:09 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro carefully ran his index finger over a shallow groove he'd just finished carving into a silver colored ring. It was the final part of a rune on a slightly overly wide ring covered in runes. Finding that the carved line was smooth and perfect for his purposes, he picked up a nearby spool of gold wire. He was a bit clumsy using his wooden right hand still, it'd only been a week since he ...
2023-08-08 16:58:38 +0000 UTC View Post“DON KRIEG!”
Echo turned just in time to see the third member of Krieg's crew with a bounty swinging a massive ball of iron right at him. He barely managed to activate his Tekkai to tank the blow in time. Between the strength of the blow and his barely there Tekkai, Echo is sent flying through the air to smash through the wall of the captains cabin.
Echo groaned as he l...
2023-08-03 02:27:54 +0000 UTC View Post“Yo.”
As soon as Echo greeted the pirates, there was an uproar as shouts about an intruder were called out. At the same time a couple of guys pulled their swords and charged at him. To an untrained civilian these guys might have come across as intimidating. To a bounty hunter who'd taken out men with enough strength to rule East Blue? They were a joke.
Echo drew his own...
2023-08-01 01:51:14 +0000 UTC View PostA pitch black raven gently floated in the bright blue sky below a smattering of fluffy white clouds. It was a rather glorious day, though if one were to look closely they could see that the bird looked rather tired. Perhaps because it was flying over a barren mountainous region of the world with nothing living in sight. Despite its circumstances, the raven let out an excited caw and began rapid...
2023-07-26 18:36:09 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Azazel left, looking a little lost in his own thoughts, Junichiro remained inside of the workshop. He was still watching his new wooden arm carefully as he opened and closed his fist and tried to understand the flexibility he'd managed to work into the arm. For obvious reasons, it wasn't supremely flexible. He'd need something far more complex made of different materials to even come clos...
2023-07-25 23:58:39 +0000 UTC View PostKenichi stayed still and silent as Aizawa charged into the mass of villains at the bottom of the stairs. A rather large part of him wanted to charge in right behind the man and lay waste to the fodder in front of him. Yet, he held his position and waited. In the series of events that revolved around One For All and All For One, the USJ incident was small potatoes. The biggest threats were the N...
2023-07-20 02:25:10 +0000 UTC View PostLight returned to his eyes as he glared across the table at Azazel, “If you can't help me then I'll help myself. I'll make a new goddamn arm from scratch!”
Contrary to what he'd just said, Junichiro pointedly glared at Azazel, “You're going to help me make a new arm. If I'd lost my left I could do it myself, but losing my right makes things more difficult.”
Azazel p...
2023-07-08 12:28:33 +0000 UTC View PostMittelt clicked her tongue in annoyance and left the master bedroom of Junichiro's home. It only took her a few moments to make her way to the dining room where Azazel himself sat at a table doing paperwork. Despite being an expert at dodging paperwork and responsibility, Azazel was still often caught, cornered, and blackmailed into doing his job by Shemhazai.
As she stepped into the room...
2023-07-02 18:35:33 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro leaned back and stretched his arms over his head while letting out a pleased groan. He'd spent the last few hours reading up on human magic and actually found the topic rather engaging. He was also certain he could do some rather interesting things using it and his standard Artificier skills. After all, how much of a boost could he give his spell scrolls if he wrote out an actual spel...
2023-07-02 00:44:16 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro followed Mittelt through the house to a room she identified as an office. Inside she shwoed him through a collection of documents that gave him all the information he needed for his new situation, his new bank account information, and all the paperwork for his identity. That last one kind of scared him a bit. From what he could see, Azazel was able to hunt down everything about his li...
2023-06-30 17:38:35 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro lay in his bed staring at the ceiling of his shed. Azazel had left a few minutes ago and he wanted to get to sleep. He was having a bit of trouble with that though. Thanks to Azazel he'd had adrenaline dumped into his system repeatedly, which left him exhausted. Simultaneously, he was also rather excited due to the conclusion of their encounter.
It didn't take any effort, really...
2023-06-29 15:01:38 +0000 UTC View PostAs he got to the scooter, Azazel called out from where he was still standing, “I know this is probably the worst timing ever but, you wouldn't happen to be interested in joining the Grigori would you?”
The question from Azazel was so unexpected that Junichiro froze for a moment as his brain registered the oddity. He quickly finished making his way to the nearby Vespa and sat ...
2023-06-28 14:46:02 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro leaned back and stretched his arms above his head, his spine letting out little pops as he did. Sitting on the desk before him was a wooden stick in the classic easily recognizable shape of a wand. A well shaped cylinder that gently widened as you moved from the tip toward the handle. The handle was much thicker than the main body of the wand lending itself to a good grip. Wrapping ar...
2023-06-25 19:46:41 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro looked down at his latest project and smiled brightly. A glittering golden ring rested on the top of his worktable. It was somewhat large, at least twice as wide and thick as a wedding band, but that was necessary for the rune work that anchored the enchantment on it. The interior circumference of the ring was absolutely coated in tiny runes that he'd painstakingly inscribed. It had t...
2023-06-25 00:43:16 +0000 UTC View PostJunichiro paused in the middle of walking, his hand holding his breakfast just in front of his mouth. He stared wide eyed at a building directly across the street from him. For a moment he wondered if he was an idiot. It felt like he was an idiot. Though further thought showed that he was, thankfully, not actually and idiot just somewhat forgetful and a tad ignorant.
Directly across from ...
2023-06-24 17:33:39 +0000 UTC View PostJunishiro sat in front of his crappy little forge surrounded by a half dozen full charcoal bags, discarded newspaper, and broken pieces of metal that he thinks are probably steel. After waking up, he'd spent the first half of the day using his 'Loot Compass' to find more stuff and buying bags of charcoal from different places. It was pretty cool that some regular grocery stores carried the stuf...
