“Awesome! After a whole day of hard work, I’ve gotten so much inspiration for my game! Now I can make the characters more three-dimensional and lively. All this effort was totally worth it!”
Outside the mall, a boy with black-rimmed glasses pumped his fist in excitement, his face full of unconcealed joy.
“That’s great.”
Next to him, a girl who looked completely drained forced a tired smile, but there was something unreadable in her eyes.
The two were none o...

For a moment, the two sat in silence.
After a brief lull, Eriri was the first to speak up.
“Besides that, there’s actually something really important I wanted to talk to you about today, Izumi-sensei!” Eriri said seriously, fixing Yuu with a determined look.
“Oh? What is it, Kashiwagi-sensei?” Yuu replied mildly.
“I want to be the very first to read the continuation of your new work!” Eriri’s expression was dead serious as she locked eyes with him.

This probably doesn’t count as a date… It’s just repaying a favor.
At the foot of Rainbow Wing Mountain, Togawa Sakiko stood quietly, her cheeks flushed slightly pink, a faint glimmer of anticipation shining in her eyes as she waited for Satoshi’s arrival.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, softly illuminating her cascading hair. Yet, a hint of disappointment lingered; after all, he'd long forgotten about her.
Since leaving her family, Sakiko hadn't inter...

Fortunately, Anon wasn't left abandoned for long. Standing just outside the training facility’s doors was Kaname Raana, who casually stepped inside, exuding an air of easy confidence while carrying a box.
Her gaze swept lazily over the group, eyes flashing with indifferent ease. When she spotted Satoshi, a faint, teasing smile curved her lips.
“I’m here.”
Wait, am I going to have to train with Raana-san? Anxiety fluttered in Anon’s heart. A troubling thoug...

She’d lost…
Tomori exhaled softly, yet felt a profound sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Throughout their battle, Satoshi had undoubtedly given it his all. Their emotions collided fiercely, allowing her to grasp clearly what was in his heart.
He loved Pokémon and Pokémon battles purely, exactly like herself.
In fact, the bond between Satoshi and Froakie surpassed even her own with Piplup.
They moved as one—during the battle, Satoshi had trusted Froakie ...

The moment Tomori’s command left her lips, Piplup sprang into action, gathering energy rapidly. Its flippers glowed with bright blue light as it charged toward Froakie with a speed far surpassing its previous performance.
[Aerial Ace]: A swift maneuver that confuses the opponent before striking. It never misses.
“Pip-pip-piplup!”
This is totally different from the other day…
Satoshi pressed down on his cap, carefully observing...

Rillaboom was one of Galar’s regional starters, renowned as a key Pokémon of Champion Leon.
Among all the starter Pokémon, Rillaboom undoubtedly ranked top-tier. In terms of sheer strength, only the [Mega-Evolved] starters could surpass it. Its prowess shone clearly in both singles and doubles battles.
Indeed, it was the strongest Grass-type starter—[Mega Evolution] included.
From Satoshi's research, Rillaboom’s rarity had surged sig...

“Allow me to formally introduce you to the City of Freedom, the pastoral city of wind and dandelions—travelers protected by the Knights of Favonius, welcome to Mondstadt!” Amber proudly proclaimed at the city gate, introducing Mondstadt to Lumine and Paimon.

“Huff, huff—so hot! Noelle, can I eat it now?”
Holding a freshly cooked mushroom-and-chicken skewer, Klee blew eagerly, her small nose twitching at the delicious scent. She couldn’t wait any longer.
“Careful, don’t burn yourself.” Noelle glanced up the hillside, noting it was quiet again—the Hilichurls had probably been cleared out.
Sure enough, Amber and Lumine soon emerged, carrying an assortment of loot: one weapon, two carrots, and three cabbages.

Noelle crouched quietly in the bushes, eyes fixed upward, tracking the dragon's flight until Dvalin vanished into the clouds.
Finally. She had waited for this moment for over ten days.
Amber was busy observing the Hilichurl camp. Noticing Noelle’s distracted gaze, she also glanced upward and spotted a flock of birds circling anxiously above the Whispering Woods.

Noelle walked over, pulling open the curtains. Sunlight streamed in, casting a gentle glow onto the bed.
“Just five more minutes, Noelle,” Lisa murmured, rolling lazily across the bed—a far cry from her notorious title, "Witch of Purple Rose."
“It's already half past seven. Also, mind your image.” Noelle’s gaze drifted to a pair of stockings draped over the sofa—likely worn by Lisa yesterday. Considering Lisa’s habit of only wearing each pair once, Noelle saw no ne...

A dreamless night.
Early morning, the sky barely brightening, Noelle woke naturally. She opened her eyes, placed her hands over her chest, and stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment.
They can't grow any bigger. Any larger would just become a burden, Noelle sighed, turning over and sitting up.
Ever since she became a girl, most of Noelle's troubles arose from mundane daily tasks, like getting dressed.
How do you button this again? Lace edges? Pantyhose?...

To force Kibutsuji Muzan to show himself, Nightingale had once left the Demon Slayer Corps to search for the Blue Spider Lily.
Though she didn’t know exactly where to find the Blue Spider Lily, she knew whom to ask.
Both Kamado Tanjiro and Kamado Nezuko had managed to overcome sunlight after becoming demons, leading some to speculate that the legendary Blue Spider Lily—which could supposedly grant demons that power—was growing somewhere in the Kamado family’s backyard… N...

Rengoku Kyojuro and Himejima Gyomei also arrived on the scene.
They saw that Kokushibo still possessed the strength to fight—and they saw Nightingale, standing there holding Kibutsuji Muzan’s severed head.

After Tokitou Muichirou became a Hashira, all the Pillars held a contest.
In the speed trial, the winner was the Sound Hashira, Uzui Tengen. The Insect Hashira, Kochou Shinobu, came second—just behind Tengen. The Wind Hashira, Shinazugawa Sanemi, took third.
But in truth, Shinobu’s “loss” wasn’t because she was slower than Tengen. After learning [Shukuchi] from Nightingale, Shinobu actually led for most of the race—she only lost her lead two-thirds of ...

Consciousness was sinking.
It was as if he were being pulled deeper into an ocean, thick and suffocating. The pressure of it all made it hard to breathe.
Then—light.
A single beam pierced the surrounding gloom, cutting through the heavy, syrupy water. It parted the sea around him, giving Sora room to breathe—room to rest.
That light gradually gathered into a figure standing not far from him.

Even though “Crane Wing Triple Slash” was a name Sora had just made up on the spot, the damage it dealt was very real.
He caught the returning spinning blades midair, each one gleaming with a deadly, icy sheen.
Those blades cut through the swirling black mist that made up Zulo’s body—leaving behind three deep gashes.
And through the rift, Sora finally caught a glimpse of what lay beneath.
A fragment, beating like a heart.

Zulo was in shock.
No—that didn’t even begin to cover it. His mind reeled in disbelief.
A white crescent blade had arced through the air toward him. That part wasn’t strange on its own.
But once you considered the battlefield conditions, this should have been impossible.
Zulo was the awakened consciousness of this planet—his power not yet fully restored, but still potent. Within this territory, he could manipulate all things: earth, gravity, repulsion,...

FangJoker.
A transitional form just before Kamen Rider W's ultimate transformation, and one centered around Philip as the primary axis.
After transformation, its visual contrast—black and white—was stark, jagged armor plating flaring across the body like protruding fangs, radiating raw aggression.
And it wasn’t just the appearance—anyone could tell from a glance that the combat style had changed.

The gust of wind dispersed the strange power encircling the intruder—revealing its form.
It was a shard.
A fragment that throbbed faintly, pulsing like a heartbeat.
Anna’s eyes widened. The moment she saw it, a phantom pain flared in her abdomen.
The Doomsday Beast’s reaction was far more primal. The claws at the end of its arms began to glow again, as if it could barely hold back from lunging forward and tearing the thing to pieces.

The Doomsday Beast—soldier of the Antimatter Legion, a living weapon devoid of sentience. That was the universal consensus across the cosmos.
It acted on instinct alone: destroy planets, erase civilizations, fight to the bitter end until its body collapsed into dust.
Some had even captured Doomsday Beasts and conducted extensive research. Yet, every study had yielded the same conclusion:
They were created by the Antimatter Legion—pure, biological weapons of war.

Sora was momentarily stunned.
Because latched onto his wrist—was the last creature he’d expected.
The Doomsday Beast, still dazed from his earlier assault, hadn’t recovered yet. One more shot from HeatTrigger, and this planet’s final Doomsday Beast would be history.
But the silver-white raptor biting his wrist wouldn’t let him pull the trigger.

CycloneJoker.
The default form of Kamen Rider W.
It excelled in close-quarters combat, channeling wind to enhance speed and embedding its elemental force into every strike. Wind-infused punches and kicks could send enemies flying and even create limited-range gust attacks.
Used properly, it allowed for high-pressure offense in melee combat.
But—this strategy was only effective against humanoid foes. Not giant creatures like the Doomsday Beast.

A symbol of the Antimatter Legion’s wrath—and the executioner of this planet’s downfall. It was the appearance of the Doomsday Beasts that had pushed the world’s defenses to the brink of collapse.

Still rubbing sleep from his eyes, he padded down the hall. Oddly enough, the sounds coming from downstairs were livelier than usual—Zenith and Lilia were bustling in the kitchen, their voices bright with chatter.

The front door had been locked for the night, so naturally, Allen had climbed in through the window and tiptoed his way down to unlock it. Roxy, for her part, had been too embarrassed to knock and wake the whole household. Once she’d slipped inside, she wandered awkwardly, unsure where to go.
