[Demons of NC] Chapter 56

Here’s how it probably went down: the NCPD planted someone in the casino or flipped an employee. The snitch had some device sending out constant signals, and when we cut communications here, the cops got tipped off. Now they were here—at the absolute worst time.

Falko sent me a photo showing three patrol cars and one SWAT van. A bunch of cops were already spilling out. How many? At least twenty, probably more than the Claws they were planning to raid.

"V, we’ll grab what we ...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 29

The hope that had lit up in me flickered out the moment Minato stood and sneered at Kushina-san.

“The ‘one clan genjutsu can’t touch!’? You’re talking about the Uchiha, aren’t you?” His voice dripped with mockery. “Who do you think helped unleash the demon from you? Or have you never wondered why not a single one of our red-eyed ‘friends’ was with us that night you gave birth? You thought they were following Hiruzen’s orders, didn’t you? The old monkey might be p...

[Castling] Chapter 33

During Christmas, most people went home, but the castle still felt festive. With Hermione away, Harry and I decided to skive off studying and amuse ourselves however we could.

Every day, we visited Hagrid. He even took us into the Forbidden Forest to see unicorns and introduced us to a little tame thestral he’d rescued. Oddly enough, we could see the baby clearly and even fed it some meat. With Hagrid leading the way in broad daylight, the forest wasn’t the least bit scary. In fact,...

Ingebjorg awaited them, as usual, with steaming herbal tea.

“Well, then,” she said as her guests settled into their chairs, “just a little longer until the finale, isn’t it?”

“Did you... hmm... see that, or are you just making conversation?” Snape immediately asked.

“There’s no need to be a Seer to understand that there are only two ways this can go. Either your Voldemort, after receiving a rather humiliating slap on the nose—”

“He...

Elizabeth. Lieutenant of Police. Mama-Betty.

Today, there was a change of leadership at the station. Mrs. Gordon retired to her well-earned pension, and former Lieutenant—now Captain—Julia Stacy took her place. The station buzzed with speculation about Betty's reaction. Some had even bet she’d take the promotion herself. Instead, Betty greeted the news with complete indifference.

Elizabeth treated her police work with a calm practicality. It wasn’t that sh...

The sorcerer’s staff—something once loathsome and heretical—remained just as vile, just as heretical. But now, it felt far more familiar and appealing. To Kosta, it was repulsive and blasphemous in the best way possible; to every other heretic, it was pure horror.

Konstantin still couldn’t bring himself to wear the sorcerers’ robes—they got in the way. But the staff, the tool of the vilest heretics, fit in his hand as if it had always belonged there. Something long forgotten...

The burning message hung before David’s eyes for four seconds. Long enough for him to read and understand. Martinez paled slightly. His face showed a mix of confusion, quickly masked by a facade of forced calm. He struggled to pull himself together, pushing the sudden emotions deep into the mass of chrome and muscle his body had become.

“When they fired you, they tried to kill you… why?” Martinez asked.

Time to tread carefully. Couldn’t let my simmering hatred for Aberna...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 28

Suddenly, that oppressive Ki pressure vanished. The grotesque, many-eyed statue—a horrifying thing made up of a giant head and two shackled hands—shuddered.

Kushina-san’s eyes opened, and she gasped for air. At the same time, I caught the scent of two men approaching. Mixed in with their odors was Naruto’s distinct scent. But there was something strange about it—Naruto and one of the men smelled... similar, like family.

I slipped into a deep shadow, staying hidden. My ch...

‘Potions really are a marvelous thing,’ thought Marina Nikolaevna the next morning, ‘perhaps even better than modern pharmaceuticals. Especially when something is custom-made for you…’

It was what it was: for the night (or what little remained of it)—a Dreamless Sleep Potion. After the twists and turns of that incredibly eventful day, falling asleep otherwise would have been nearly impossible. And even if she had managed, waking up in a decent mood and without feeling utterl...

I thought that with no basilisk this year, things would finally calm down—but as it turned out, it was quite the opposite.

Everything was fine up until New Year’s. Even Halloween passed without the usual chaos, and we didn’t get invited to Nearly Headless Nick’s Deathday party this time either. But after Christmas, trouble started brewing, and the further we got into the term, the worse it got.

It began in late November with a letter from Mum and Dad. This time, they didn�...

Everything after that was… chaotic. There’s really no better way to describe it. They grabbed me, started asking questions rapid-fire, all the while side-eyeing Deadpool and Yuriko like they were one wrong move away from causing a scene. I gave them the short version of my “adventures,” mentioning the kids on sublevel five and the isolation cells for particularly strong mutants on sublevel three. They already knew Deadpool, but for Yuriko, I introduced her without using her name, expl...

As much as Kosta wanted to avoid it, the inevitable had come: the waifus had challenged him to battle. Two of them at once.

He could never have imagined this day would come. Like any self-respecting waifu fan, he always reacted with outright hostility toward anyone who dared raise their swords or staffs against the innocent waifus waiting to start their quests—of which there were already so few in the Lands Between. It was terrible. Truly terrible.

There was only one waifu Kosta...

Two days had passed since my encounter with Jack. In that time, I’d hit the gym, practiced at the shooting range, and worked with two different fencing instructors.

The first was a well-known guy around the city—big on videos, lectures, and ads. He was a short, elderly Japanese man with barely any implants and ran his dojo near Corporation Street. For two and a half grand, he gave me a long, polished spiel about philosophy, katas, and different styles. Occasionally, he’d demonstra...

Nobody besides our lot seemed to notice that Harry and I didn’t arrive at Hogwarts on the train. The boys were dead jealous, though, when they found out we’d already been to Hogsmeade—especially since they’d have to wait another year. They crowded around us, hanging on our every word about the shops, happily stuffing themselves with sweets, and dreaming of the day they’d get to see the place for themselves. In the meantime, they were already flicking through the catalogue and placin...

"What an eventful night," Snape remarked with a hint of irony as he observed the scene. "Look at them—they're armed to the teeth and clearly very determined."

"Funny joke," Conner replied dryly. "Not that one could ever get bored in this school… What's that commotion at the gates?"

"The local watchman is asking for sanctuary," one of his subordinates replied. "Says they'll beat him to death otherwise."

"That's Firenze," Marina Nikolaevna explained, noticing the blond man...

Announcement!

I am sorry guys, my laptop shat itself so I sent it for repairs this morning. Unfortunately, it will take at least two days, so there won’t be any chapters today or tomorrow (except for public chapters on Webnovel, it's on scheduled release).

If I’m lucky, I’ll get it back by tomorrow evening and post the chapters then. If not we'll see how it goes.

Apologies and have a good day.

Sneak Peek: Clown (Ch. 1 - Ch. 2)

Alright, before I post the first chapter, a quick note—this is kinda important. I’ve spent days looking through fanfics and original stories that I could translate. The problem is, while I know what people on Webnovel, QQ, and SB might enjoy, I have no idea what you guys would like.

Do you prefer more comedy or crack fics? Or maybe something more serious and expansive? Old-fashioned power fantasy? If you have any preferences, let me know. I’ve got ac...
