I sat outside the room, and my legs would not stop bouncing in anxiety.
It was … It was probably the worst I’ve felt in my entire life. It was the weakest I’ve felt in my life.
I’ve done everything I can. Doing more would only get in the way of the midwife and the maidservants. 2024-09-24 14:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post

In an ironic twist of fate, I found myself raised from being a person non grata under house arrest to becoming the Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation.
That did not meant that the lessons I’ve learned before my house arrest and during it did not magically disappear because I became the Chan...

Morocco… didn’t look bad at all.
The Port of Safi that we stopped at was extremely well-off and also extremely fortified with walls, gun turrets, and patrolling capes of all kinds.

Chrysalismon looked through the files he had initially found when he entered it.
The machine, FAS-F5P5 Khopesh, was a machine built to kill humans. Digimon didn’t go out of their way to kill humans, but it was still weird being in a machine designed to do just that. So it was also odd that he fou...

Not a new idea. A horrible and deeply troubling idea but novel nonetheless. Part of the reason why asteroid bombing hadn’t been done before was becau...

It happened right when I was about to change Sora’s diapers.
My entire home shook with whatever just struck Hide’s impenetrable shield. That was … rare.
I quickly changed the diapers, believing that the shield will hold, and stepped out of the house portion of the warehouse and into the warehouse pr...

By the time I was ready to leave Gatchina, I got another point. I dropped that into Chakra, making it Chakra III, and tested that out in the hidden safety of my ship. I could now use six Shadow Clones with some difficulty. It was much better than what I experienced with only Chakra II and confirmed on...

It started.
The first sign of it was the Prince-Bishop Gion talking to me about Bavaria.
The second sign was the Compact’s own merchants refusing to accept Upper Bavarian coins regardless of when it was minted. The merchants were so upset with the coins that several of them sent me letters asking f...

"You know, Swarm, your costume doesn't inspire people," Alan hummed.
Taylor looked at him. This was her second meeting with him.
"I think my current armor is good," she replied a little bit more curtly than she intended. This was armor that she made with her power.
"I know, but you have to appeal to the public as well, you know? So I had people draw up some suggestions. How about it?" he asked her as he handed her a folder.
She opened it and saw the first picture. ...
