The Second Archon War: Sapientia Oromasdis 23
Sapientia Oromasdis 23: Caelestis Cantor
Awaken.
She awoke early in the morning to get the rice going. Rain was spattering against the windows, something she enjoyed, even if the boys would track mud into her house from it. The first to awaken was her husband, Tony. He was insensate early in the mornings, and she had learned long ago not to talk to him until he’d had at least a few minutes to wake up, and he’d learned to always come and give her a kiss. 2025-04-07 16:00:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Animula Choragi 4: La Bonne Cuisine
Once more, Furina awoke early with Yennifer and Charlotte, and had a pleasant breakfast of sweet yogurt with some fruit. It was very different from the sour yogurts she’d had from Sumeru, and Furina rather enjoyed it. She’d always had a sweet tooth, and this ‘Danone’ stuff was very much that.
“So, what are you going to do today?” Char...

The world swam for a moment, and Kenta felt strangely lightheaded. When his vision cleared, he found himself standing in darkness. He blinked a few times, looking around. What had just happened?
<It was those damn kids, Great Lung. Please, it wasn’t my fault! I can still be useful to you!>
There was a man on his knees, a bunch of thugs with guns standing around him. Most were young men, with tattoos visible on their skin, as well as an assortment of guns and cr...

It was quiet in the early Paris morning as Yennifer jogged through the park. There were still plenty of cars and people about, a city the size of Paris never truly slept, but just after dawn on a Sunday was about the closest the city ever came to true quiet. It was a good time for her to head to the park and go for a nice long run to clear her head, trying to chase away the stress of the week and the horrors of the past.
The Broad Side of a Barn: Chapter 3
The next morning, Kazuma, Darkness, and the rest of the party (plus Yunyun) all went to the tournament grounds to register. Darkness was dressed in her armor, though she had on a tiara like crown with the Dustiness sigil on it.
“Stay close to me, Megumin. You’re still a wanted woman,” Darkness told the chuuni little menace when they arrived at the tournament grounds, which were just to the south of Axel along the River Spoke.
There were people everywhere, wit...

Sapientia Oromasdis 22: The Fruit of Reason's Culmination
On the evening of January 21st, 2005 by the Gregorian Calendar, or the 8th day of Dhul Hijjah 1425 in the Islamic calendar, the Saeed Family arrived in Saudi Arabia. This was an event of no small significance, with widespread news coverage. For, upon this year, the Hopebringer was to take the Hajj.

There was a horrendous screeching sound, and Furina sat up with a gasp, eyes wide and panicked. Where was she?! This wasn’t her bedroom! She had a trial to prepare for! The people were drowning, Poisson was under water, she had to-

Despite the “kiss” they had shared, nothing much changed between Kazuma and Darkness for the next few days. She didn’t mention the orphanage, and Kazuma was distracted by Megumin and Aqua’s preparations for the upcoming tourney.
“For the last time, Aqua, we’re not setting up a booth to recruit followers for the Axis Cult!” Kazuma said when Aqua once more tried to get him to assist her in expanding her collection of craziness.
“But this tournament is per...

Animula Choragi 2: Addio del Passato
After dinner, Furina bid farewell to Julie, Ling, and Mr. Mao, and followed Yennifer down the street to a tall apartment building. It wasn’t especially notable, looking somewhat dingy and worn down like the rest of this part of the city, but it was still a good eight stories tall, with architecture that reminded Furina of Fontaine in many subtle ways.&...

Water exploded in a crackle of lightning, and the sea monster reared up out of the water, letting out a bugling warble of a battle cry. Paimon screamed in fear and tried desperately to bail out the boat with a rusty pail, but Lumine found herself grinning in excitement.
“COME ON!” she roared, and leapt with her bat held high, right at the thing. The seahorse-like monster raised its crackling horn, swiping it right at Lumine. She smashed h...

“There’s something wrong with the moon.”
Dr. Myung blinked, looking up from his laptop. He was currently working on a paper describing a brand new lifeform in the Narukami Trench, namely a type of giant and extremely hostile seahorse that was infused with Electro. There was only one on record so far, but it was extremely intriguing. “I’m sorry, what?”

Standing amidst the ashes, Jing Tianqiong wanted to cry. He looked around, at where the apartment buildings had once stood, but now nothing but twisted metal, ash, and a few broken bits of masonry were left.
“It wasn’t my best work, but did they really have to burn it down?” he said plaintively. A few people around him were picking through the still-warm ashes, but there wasn’t much hope they’d find anything.

Once more, Kollei found herself running towards the body of a fallen god. This time, she had seen her mother fall, dropping from the rapidly abating storm towards the earth below like a falling star. She broke out of the Dream where she’d been watching and skidding to a stop on her knees, cradling her mother’s body in her arms.

Picking herself up off the ground, Alexandria shook her head, then looked towards where the massive storm was already forming. She could only stare in blank astonishment, her Thinker powers trying to catch up to the new data she’d just obtained. She was still blinking when Wyatt landed beside her. “Alex! Alex, are you OK?”
Shaking her head, she turned to him, giving him a tight frustrated smile. “I’ll ...

Comedia Glacialis 19: The Calm Before
The day of January 14th, 2005, dawned cold and clear on the Allied side of the line, though a blizzard perpetually clouded over the Russian side as always. All eyes were on the sky as from the south, a great wyrm appeared over Europe. More than 100 meters long, made of interwoven metal and plant life, with wings that stretched farther than any airplane at 150 meters and mounted with two giant elemental jets on eithe...

The flight back to Byrndle was much more sedate, with Faitfore safely bearing them home to the castle.
Home. It was a bit odd, but Kazuma realized that he’d likely spend most of the rest of his life at that castle. That was…well, it was odd. He’d finally gotten the magical isekai adventure he’d always dreamed of, but he’d gone at it in such a bass ackwards way he’d never even seen it coming.

Once more, the Sleeper had awoken, and the Prince marched to war. Over the past 24 hours, the shimmering wall of death on the Southern Front of Poland was advancing along the highway towards Rzeszów, though only at a walking pace. And once more, the Knights of Favonius and the Polish armed forces prepared an assault against their most dreaded foe. But with one notable difference.
This time, they had POTUS on their side....

As the sun set, Kazuma and the others snuck out into the darkening city. The pavement radiated heat like an oven, causing all of them to soon be soaked in sweat. Chris and Kazuma led the way, dodging heavily armed patrols of swaggering guards carrying pikes and scimitars under the neon lights of the various casinos.
That was probably the biggest shock to Kazuma: the entire city of Elroad looked like Las Vegas, with towering hotels dressed in various themes, from the one with ...

Carmen Dei 28: Frozen Dreams of Spring
For three days, Amber remained in the Fatui camp. At times, Kollei would depart to tend to the wounded or attend to her other duties, and she would send Amber to the Dream, either to the village or elsewhere to await her return. It was more than a bit creepy to be stuck inside a dream, but it was less terrifying than having to be in the presence of the Dancer.
Every day, Anastasia Kommisarova found a reason to appr...

Snow flashed instantly to steam as another barrage from Eidolon’s lasers hit the ground, and the Fatui capes cried out in pain from the superheated air that boiled them alive. Several collapsed on the spot, while the rest were cut down by automatic rifle fire from Hannah. A dozen enemy combatants, all with Delusions, cut down in moments.
But it wasn’t enough.

Despite being a temporary military camp, the main Fatui pavilion looked more like a luxury vacation spot than it did the front lines of a brutal war. There were thick carpets, overstuffed armchairs, and real silverware for the delicate porcelain dishes that their caviar was served on.
