MoP: Ch. 155

---Third POV---

On Viktor's shoulder, Luminaris stared wide-eyed in terror:

"Ruthless undead!"

The undead were casually talking about executions like it was ordering takeout?

ProGamer_Daddy jumped up too.

"I can understand the Light Goddess without a translator?"

Luminaris' eyes widened even further.

"Who's the goddess?!"

Only the beastman on the ground, after a brief moment of shock, kept his wary gaze fixed on Viktor. He didn't spare the playe...

MoP: Ch. 154

---Third POV---

Garble had been suspicious for a while.

This twisted system that clashed completely with the game's worldview... Why did it suddenly appear on him right after the violet-haired siren showed up?

And after seeing his strange behavior, she didn't even question it.

So it was her doing.

A player disguised as an NPC? Or an Easter egg from the game developers?

Question after question popped up in his mind.

He waited patiently.

With such...

MoP: Ch. 153

---Viktor's POV---

Booze stared at me wordlessly.

I handed the list to Booze and restarted my wheelchair.

"Don't worry. Consuming a large amount of enhancement items in a short period will, at most, push your body's absorption to its limit and overdraw your innate potential. There's no real downside."

Booze's eyes widened. "Overdrawing potential isn't a downside?!"

"With enhancement materials of this quality, you're nowhere near your absorption limit."

I ca...

MCIM Ch. 08

Mario stared at the I-beam burning in the furnace interface, watching the progress bar fill up slowly. Ten seconds felt like forever when you were waiting for something this important.

Pop.

The steel beam vanished from the input slot, replaced by three brand-new iron ingots.

"Damn, three at once!" He grinned and snatched up the ingots. "I need to find more of these."

For a moment, he considered sneaking into a construction site during daylight hours. But that ...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 250

When the Nazgûl's momentum was finally checked and the soldiers regained their composure, the orc offensive quickly faltered again. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before they were completely routed.

Yet the Nazgûl showed no sign of worry, as though they cared not in the slightest how many losses their own forces suffered.

Orcs and trolls kept falling, but the Nazgûl issued no further commands, as if those soldiers were not their own at all.

On the fortress wal...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 249

"Now it's three against two."

"Three against two?"

A voice suddenly came from below.

"It's clearly three against three!"

Balin rushed forward.

Gandalf looked at him, somewhat surprised. "How..."

"Don't ask, Gandalf. I just came before I had time to get frightened."

"What do we do now? Which one should I fight?"

"Just stay close to me."

A piercing shriek tore through the sky above the land. The three Nazgûl moved at once: one lunged at Gan...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 248

"Open the gates!"

At dusk, the wandering Rangers returned from their patrols, one after another donning their war-gear and climbing the walls, joining the garrison as part of the defense.

Compared to the soldiers sent from Wayfort for reinforcements, these Rangers were clearly more composed, for they were long accustomed to battle, to roaming the wilderness, to tracking, and to living days where skirmishes broke out every few.

"If I had known earlier, I would have trained as...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 247

That night was far from peaceful. As darkness fell, the constant clanging and hammering of construction never stopped. Meanwhile, Rangers rode out on horseback, keeping strict watch over the surrounding lands.

Any orc attempting to sneak close for reconnaissance was swiftly slain, and from time to time, white fireworks could be seen bursting in the distant sky.

"What's that?" Balin suddenly looked up.

"Bats."

Gandalf narrowed his eyes. No one knew how he could still se...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 246

In Middle-earth, because of the wizards' uncompromising stance against evil and their formidable power, they naturally possessed the right to intervene whenever dark forces threatened the Free Peoples.

Today was no exception.

But aside from just joining the fight, as long as the lords and regional rulers did not forbid it, wizards within the same alliance also carried a certain degree of authority by tradition.

The extent of such authority, however, was tied to their reputat...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 245

"It's just some orcs, nothing that requires reinforcements."

Hearing this, both Gandalf and Balin frowned slightly.

"Just...? We're talking about tens of thousands of orcs, and certainly not without trolls and all kinds of beasts. I know you're strong. If it were just you, you could probably charge back and forth through their ranks unharmed. But this is defense, you have to hold this land. You're not one of those stone-giants the size of mountains; you can't block everything at o...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 244

"I've always wanted to lead people to reclaim that place, but our scouts say it's still occupied by endless hordes of brutal orcs. Not only that, there are also many ferocious beasts and trolls..."

Balin let out a sigh.

"This matter still requires more thought. At least for now, I don't believe the time is right."

"But leaving that aside, what I want to say is, it's very dangerous there. This fortress is too close to Khazad-dûm, monsters from that place could reach here in ...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 243

Originally, when passing by Wayfort, Gandalf and Balin had intended to stop and pay a visit to Garrett. However, upon arriving, they received only one piece of news.

"He isn't here."

To this, Gandalf could only remain silent.

"Then... shall we go?" Balin asked, lifting his head.

"What else can we do? It's not as though someone could drag him back here."

Gandalf let out a sigh.

At that sound, a nearby iron golem considerately handed him a flower, as if to co...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 242

At the end of the year 2948, Wayfort opened a program in nautical studies, with Lindon's navigators and sailors serving as instructors.

From then on, a few Elves could be seen within Wayfort's halls.

By nature, Elves are more accustomed to quiet, serene environments; they prefer not to enter bustling cities or crowded places. Even when they do gather, say, to hold a feast or celebrate a festival, it is usually among their own kindred.

In fact, the Elves who came to Wayfort t...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 241

"Small boat?"

Hearing this, Garrett pointed toward a vessel dozens of meters long in the distance from the flagship, and said, "Over there. I wasn't very satisfied with it, so I made another one."

Círdan's eyelid twitched.

You call that a small boat?

"My lord, we're running rather low on materials."

As though he had found salvation, the shipyard overseer hurried to Círdan's side to report.

"Enough, that's quite enough already."

Círdan's to...

Note

For this week, my goal is to update at least 10 chapters across the following ffs:

Tomorrow, I’ll start with MoP, since someone already asked about it. That means I’ll be working on chapters the whole day until I reach 10 chapters, or at least get close to that count. The poll below is for Thursday, it’s to dec...

OP: AMP Ch. 65

Sanji looked at Vivi, who was clearly trying to smile, but he could see the tears hiding behind her eyes.

"Princess, you don't need to blame yourself so much. You'll definitely be a good ruler someday," Igaram said softly, walking over to place a hand on her head.

But Vivi just shook her head. "I can't change anything... If it weren't for Luffy and everyone else, I..."

Luffy dusted himself off as he climbed out of the crater where he'd been sitting. His expression was sudden...

OP: AMP Ch. 64

"Are you underestimating our strength?" Marcus asked, gesturing toward Sanji and Alvida.

"We just met them and it was over in seconds. I don't think this so-called Baroque Works has the power to deal with us."

His comment made both Alvida and Sanji blush slightly.

"I'm not that amazing~" Alvida touched her face shyly, clearly pleased by the praise.

Sanji raised his eyebrows, ready to make his own response, but Zoro cut him off first.

"Leaving this Pirate A aside,...

OP: AMP Ch. 63

On the other side of the battlefield, without Miss Valentine causing chaos from above, Sanji instantly gained the upper hand against Mr. 5.

Even though his opponent's entire body could explode on command, Sanji's kicking speed was simply too fast. By the time any explosion went off, Mr. 5 had already been launched away and embedded into the nearest wall like a human-shaped crater.

Marcus watched the one-sided beatdown and couldn't help but shake his head. Both of these Baroque Wor...

OP: AMP Ch. 62

Whiskey Peak.

A small town populated entirely by bounty hunters, though on the surface their main business appeared to be brewing liquor. In reality, they survived by hunting down pirates and collecting the bounties on their heads.

Farming wasn't even an option here, the island was too small and mostly consisted of salt-alkali soil that could barely support crops. Even if agriculture were possible, pirates showed up daily because of the town's strategic location at the entrance to...

OP: AMP Ch. 61

Crocus stared at Nami in shock.

"How the hell did you do that?"

"I just... felt it. The wind over there wasn't right."

Crocus shook his head in wonder. "Your talent for reading weather patterns is extraordinary. With a navigator like you, this journey should be much smoother than most. After all, on the Grand Line, the greatest danger isn't always the enemy, it's the weather itself. One careless moment and you might get swept into a hurricane, or dragged down by a massive wh...

OP: AMP Ch. 60

Nami immediately grasped the key point of what Crocus had revealed.

"So they really are making money from both ends, huh?"

"Speaking of which," Marcus chimed in, "what happens to pirates who enter the Grand Line without getting a Log Pose first?"

He knew the Grand Line had seven different routes you could take. But he'd always wondered, what if Luffy and the crew hadn't run into Laboon at the beginning? Without meeting the whale, they wouldn't have encountered Vivi, and with...

OP: AMP Ch. 59

Marcus pulled up his status bar to check the new condition affecting him.

Vigor II - Duration: 3:59:58

A four-hour duration. That was impressive, but what exactly did this "Vigor" effect do?

The answer became clear when he noticed his health bar had changed completely. In the past, it had always displayed as ten hearts, but now it showed twelve.

That meant his current health was effectively 120% of normal.

The sudden health increase caught him off guard. He'd con...

OP: AMP Ch. 58

The situation on the ship was finally resolved, and Crocus made his way back to his small island-like dwelling.

Once everyone had settled down and the chaos was over, they heard a very different story from Crocus than the bullshit Mr. 9 had tried to feed them earlier.

"So you're saying your organization has been targeting this whale?" Nami asked in realization. "If you think about it... With Laboon's size, you could probably feed a few hundred people for two or three years without...

Naruto: IHCS Ch. 120

Nagato stared at his own hands.

What... what did I just do?

What exactly did I just do?

Why am I frozen in place...

What am I afraid of...

Shiratori studied Nagato. Something about him was off. His pupils were trembling nervously, and his hands wouldn't stop shaking. His expression was caught between crying and laughing. His face looked as though it had been torn into two halves.

It appeared especially twisted and pained....

Naruto: IHCS Ch. 119

Shiratori pondered for a moment.

What was this supposed to be?

A rehearsal in advance? So that in the future, Yahiko and Nagato would have some experience dealing with such a situation. Looking at it this way, this assassination attempt wasn't entirely a bad thing.

He glanced at Yahiko and Nagato beside him, curiosity hidden in his eyes.

How would Yahiko and Nagato handle this?

"Don't hurt her!"

Yahiko shouted nervously at the ninja. The blood flowing down ...

Naruto: IHCS Ch. 118

Kojiro led Shiratori and the others through a winding, dim alley and arrived at a street corner.

There, a small house stood quietly. At its entrance hung a wooden sign that read: "Full Moon Steamed Bun Shop."

Kojiro crossed his arms and gave a proud hum.

"This is the bun shop I've been visiting for the five years I've lived in Aomine. The buns and steamed bread here are delicious, and very affordable. If you hadn't met me, you'd never have found such a good place. Those gree...

Naruto: IHCS Ch. 117

Shiratori weighed the money pouch in his hand. Sure enough, the fastest way to make money in this world was robbery.

Those three samurai had built up a considerable fortune by robbing people in Aomine.

"What should we do with this money?"

Yahiko looked uneasily at the bulging pouch in his hand.

Although it was quite a fortune, it was, after all, stolen goods from robbery. Just thinking about how the samurai had gotten this money, he couldn't bring himself to spend it o...

Naruto: IHCS Ch. 116

After making arrangements, Shiratori continued asking, "Are you the only two ninjas in Tatashina?"

Ryūga nodded.

"That's right. Although there are only the two of us as ninja in Tatashina, most of the villagers here can make poisons and medicines under our guidance."

"..."

So in the end, this was a poison village?

Shiratori thought for a moment. It would be wasteful to abandon such a useful place as Tatashina.

"After you meet Himura, you and Ranga should r...

Naruto: IHCS Ch. 115

Yahiko stared at Ryūga, his fists clenched tight. No one had ever attacked his ideals so viciously before.

They could insult him, but never his beliefs!

He stepped closer to the immobilized ninja.

Ryūga watched this passionate fool warily.

"You're wrong."

"I never once thought everyone could understand my ideals. If everyone could, then wars would never have started in the first place..."

"But I have the patience and courage to share my beliefs with other...

Naruto: IHCS Ch. 114

By Shiratori's side, Nagato's gaze sharpened. Without a second thought, he thrust his hands toward Ryūga. Invisible ripples spread through his pupils, releasing a faint violet glow. A formless force burst forth from his palms. The hooked claw froze in front of Shiratori for a split second, then suddenly reversed and shot back toward Ryūga.

His pupils shook as he staggered backward. The claw he had been wielding slammed deep into the wall behind him.

"I won't let anyone harm him!...
