Garen took a deep breath in as the warhorse he rode leisurely trotted forward alongside five dozen soldiers that Marr had lent him. He took in the light blue sky with its white clouds, the pale gray cobblestone road, and the green farms all around.

It was picturesque in the best sense possible. This was what Demacia was.

Yet …

Why was it that this was a scene that he saw more of in his little brother’s duchy than any oth...

The life of a gutter rat sucked.

While I didn’t understand this because of experience or anything more personal like that, I understood intellectually that being a gutter rat sucked. I come from an era where actual gutter rats would die because someone wanted their liver, kidneys, or hell, even their heart. If it wasn’t that, then they would be recruited to transport narcotics across national borders by swallowing packages of drugs. Le...

Amy stared down at the dildo.

It wasn’t working anymore. It just … wasn’t enough.

She’s already changed the shape, gave it more “girth,” and even more load pump, but it just … didn’t give her the same ecstasy she felt from her first time with it.

It was a horrible feeling, physically and mentally.

Physically, she couldn’t get herself off properly!

Mentally, she despaired at what kind of weird things...

When I reported that I had nearly a hundred subdued, formerly armred gangsters and foreign agents, it wasn’t just the PRT and the Protectorate that came rushing but the FBI, CIA, ATF, and the nearest SWAT teams.

Nearly two hundred federal and local agents showed up to make the arrests for those still alive, and quite a number of sheets had to be produced for the dead.

Some of the officers and agents didn’t li...

Garen followed Marr as his brother led him to his supposed magic weapon and armor-filled armory.

“So magical weapons, huh?” he tried.

“It is a natural part of researching magic. It’s a little bit like researching new tactics and strategem. Just as a general might find new methods of flanking and tricking enemies when he hears that a new stirrup invention allows the cavalrymen to ride harder and faster, so too do magicians ...

“But you need a crew and a ship! How can you be so willfully contrived as to ignore the call of the sea during an era literally called the Age of Piracy?!”

Jack Sparrow, as he turned out, was a very annoying person. This was made worse by the fact that he very clearly wanted to go out and sail the seas, to claim his adventure as a pirate, and to have fun!

You know, aside from the fact that I had no desire nor intention of b...

“Irony, sentimentality, and history.”

Henry wasn’t a bad guy at all.

He was also the typical man who did manly things like wrestling, contact sports, riding, and the like because that’s just what he did to pass the time and had been taught to do. It was certainly better than whoring, drinking, and torturing.

… Unfortunately, those “manly” activities were the exact kind of things I wasn’t into because I could do more stuff doing other things. I liked sm...

As soon as I created a replicator, I put my plans into action. Despite the fact that replicators could not make anything that was not of themselves and thus really limit their uses, a modified software program was enough to ensure that at the very least there was a “stop all process” emergency button should there ever be some sort of freak accident that unleashed the replicators against me.

I doubted that would be an issue, however....

Garen carefully swung off his horse after a long journey from the Great City of Demacia to the Jorasmang City.

It was his first time coming to this city since his brother took over, and he saw how much more wealthy the city had become.

The first thing he noticed was the roads. Even great cities like Demacia itself did not extend its roads outside of the city because there was no need to. However, his brother’s city did extend it...

“Wakey, wakey!”

I jolted awake at the unfamiliar sound and the bucket of water that got dumped on me.

“What the hell?!” I shrieked as I whirled around to find my victim! ‘I was perfectly fine with dishing out a beating before breakfa-!’ My thoughts came to a screeching halt, however, when I caught sight of exactly who held a wooden bucket still dripping with water.

Dressed in long sea boots, ...

If losing wasn’t enough, then Colin got lambasted for losing in such a public manner. Director Piggot was more than understanding; she saw what kind of damage Techscav had done and told him that “we’ll all do better next time.” It wasn’t his fault that he wasn’t a parahuman cape on par with Techscav.

That thought hurt.

No, the ones who attacked him for his failures were not the director or even the national bran...

A/N: so. two exams, a clinical, one lab, and also sick for two days. My condition is not great. It is not an excuse for me to produce subpar work, so if this came out to be subpar, you lot have to tell me so I can fix it, because my ability to reason and decide is currently being hampered by my illness. It might be a little short because I literally cannot sit down for more than thirty minutes before I lose it.

The guard detail that Henry brought with him was meant to be an intimidating show of force to a newly raised noble ruling over a small but strategically important valley that connected the Eastern Alps to the Swabian Alps.

So why was it that when he finally found himself staring down from atop his horse at that peasant lord, he was the one who felt threatened? As if the knights and men-at-arms he brought with him - men whose quality could no...

Life was supposed to return to normal.

When I returned home after another visit to the royal capital, I misunderstood one passing woman’s intent, for which I apologized with a letter and monetary compensation. Sure, that’s cold comfort for someone who’s been in a jail cell, but it was the least I could do. The majority of my peers might not think so; even Lux had been confused as to why I was offering compensation.

I did a lot of things while I waited for the response from the younger duke of Upper Bavaria and the arrival of Isabella’s cousin. One of the minor changes included upgrading my one and only armor set. There was only a beaten iron chestplate, full-face covering iron mask, and a bear fur cloak. They were… serviceable. Isabella, however, suggested that I tried to improve upon it because it could be an insult to her cousin if I showed up and just...

Before I began making more ships for the inevitable battle that was to break out, I asked myself what I wanted… no.

I asked myself what they needed. Sure, I would certainly fly at least one more ship but what other the other ships? I can’t be my entire fleet, after all.

(Unless I do something about the chakra system that seemingly doesn’t exist inside me yet seems to work anyways).

What I needed was a force of...
