[Castling the Long Way] Chapter 24

When Madam Pomfrey saw Hermione, she gasped but quickly composed herself. Without asking any questions, she nodded at a chair for me before levitating Hermione into the next ward. Figuring the examination could take a while, I shrugged off my cloak and boots, sprawled on the nearest bed, and drif...

[Demons of NC] Chapter 46

23:23

The city was like an angry hive someone had tossed a firecracker into. Police sirens wailed through the streets as honking cars clogged intersections. Vendors, tourists, homeless folks, and random onlookers gathered in every nearby spot with a view of the building, ho...

[Prof. Umbridge] Chapter 44

Halloween was approaching, and Marina Nikolaevna noticed that Draco Malfoy had grown increasingly gloomy and jittery. He kept disappearing to unknown places, and strangely enough, he didn’t show up on the Marauder’s Map, though Crabbe and Goyle appeared perfectly well. Since Apparition wasnâ€...

[Demons of NC] Chapter 45

It felt like holding my breath before a dive off a cliff into the sea. Same anticipation, but cranked up by five or ten times.

I stared at the concrete ceiling above, caked in dust and cobwebs. This half-abandoned basement in Northside was a shitty place to die. So I had no choice but to su...

[My Ending] Chapter 13

For a long time, the Academy had been sealed off from the outside world by a barrier. A barrier so powerful that no one could enter without a special key, individually issued to each member of the Academy, no matter how desperately they might want to get in.

At least, in theory.

Leavi...

[My Ending] Chapter 12

The appearance of a new bearer of a Great Rune filled Nepheli with immense joy. Before parting ways, the warrior had extracted a promise from the new Rune-bearer to meet her at the Roundtable Hold, and now that moment had come.

Although this was the Tarnished’s first visit to the Hold, he...

[My Ending] Chapter 11

Rogier cursed himself three times for agreeing to the deal with the newcomer. The castle was truly enormous, and exploring it wasn’t easy. The catacombs of Stormveil Castle, in particular, posed a myriad of challenges, forcing the sorcerer to recall why infiltrating the castle was a terrible id...

[My Ending] Chapter 10

Honestly, Kosta felt a little uncomfortable. Not because of the strange echo of Meli-Meli’s shout, but because the soldiers had followed him and were now watching everything unfold.

Duels with bosses always felt intimate and personal to him. The rolls, the rare shield parries (when he bot...

[My Ending] Chapter 9

Nepheli Loux wanted to see the newcomer. The Tarnished, previously unknown until recently, had captured her father's attention, and she understood why.

How could it be otherwise? The one who led the Roundtable Hold—a place where all Tarnished souls gathered—had to think this way. And so...

[My Ending] Chapter 8

Roderika had never been able to boast of courage or strength of spirit. She was a timid, soft-hearted girl, beloved by her servants and family but scorned by the rest of the Lands Between.

Their world was cruel—twisted, grotesque, and unforgiving. It had no place for the weak, and Roderik...

[My Ending] Chapter 7

I’ve finally built up the backlog for My Ending! I’ll be posting all the chapters (up to Chapter 13) in the next few minutes.

The release schedule is still undecided—either 2 chapters per week or 3—but I’ll be posting at least one more chapter this week to get things rol...

[Prof. Umbridge] Chapteer 43

"Well then," said Marina Nikolaevna, patting a stack of manuscripts bound with a red cord and sealed with Ministry stamps. "Approved, certified, and stamped. Copies have been left at the Ministry, ready for printing. Though, as you accurately pointed out, that won't be a quick process."

"An...

[Castling] Chapter 23

I didn’t have to wait long, just about ten minutes—enough time to mull everything over properly. So, that’s the end of my brief friendship with Potter. Well, fine then. No use dwelling on it. I was only worried about Hermione with her over-the-top sense of responsibility. She’d definitely...

[Demons of NC] Chapter 44

The long, painstaking, and expensive prep began. 

Every day brought new challenges that dragged us further away from the end goal.

A day after our brainstorming session, Lucy and I dove into the Net. Full immersion. It was our first deep dive together. A bit nerve-wracking, consi...

[My Ending] Chapter 5,6

Chapter 5

This time, Kale was well-prepared to meet his peculiar client. He’d even readied a leather armor set! Sometimes bandit attacks could be useful, after all, they expanded his inventory for free.

Extra runes were always a welcome bonus.

Kale had grown fo...

[Prof. Umbridge] Chapter 42

The next morning, the Headmaster did not appear at breakfast.

The Weasley twins were sporting bright red, swollen ears. It turned out later that they’d had the brilliant idea to try pranking an Auror. Unfortunately for them, they were caught, thoroughly yanked by their ears, and then, jud...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 15

“Deep in the hundred acre wood — Where the Ninja Tiger trains — You will find the ninja neighbourhood, — Of Tora’s academy days" I sang, unable to resist reworking a tune I vaguely remembered from Winny the Pooh.

"Shhh, Tora-chan, keep it down, or they’ll figure out you’re in ...

[Demons of NC] Chapter 43

We left Dogtown in the predawn gloom. Mission accomplished. We got the contract on Abernathy, checked out Cynosure, tossed Slider the scraps of some engineering documents, and even dealt with Hunt.

The loses? Just a big toe that needed replacing and a few titanium implants in my right leg.<...

Elden Ring: My Ending (Ch.3-4)

Chapter 3

Merchant Kale had encountered many Tarnished in his life. After all, his nomadic people once had the sight of grace but had long since lost it.

Life in the Lands Between, though perilous, had a peculiar stability. When Queen Marika shattered the Elden Ring, ...

"Come in," said Ingebjorg as Hrafn opened the door, letting the guests in. "Sit wherever you like. Would you like some tea?"

"Yes, thank you," replied Marina Nikolaevna, knowing that by "tea," the seer meant an aromatic and strong herbal brew that, with a drop of honey, was truly remarkable...

"V, everything okay?" Lucy’s voice crackled through the comms.

Concern. Sweet of her.
"Yeah. All good. But I’m cutting comms now. Don’t want to risk it."

"Get out of there as soon as you can," she urged before I killed the connection.

The screech of metal made me whirl ...

[Castling] Chapter 21

Operation "Dragon" was set for the end of the week.

Charlie had sent me a letter asking for details, then another one just before the operation.

"You’re right, Ron. Hagrid definitely needs help, and I’ve sorted everything out," he wrote. "I can’t leave the Reserve myself to coll...

[Prof. Umbridge] Chapter 40

"Quite the mess you've made!" Snape said bitterly, catching Marina Nikolaevna after her first lesson and dragging her into his new office. "Had to give the dungeons to Slughorn."

"Me? A mess? If you must know, they were about to suspend me from teaching without so much as a warning! Complet...

Elden Ring: Different Ending. Ch. 2

A peculiar man sat by a Site of Grace, studying it with a thoughtful expression. To Melina, this was a promising sign. The Tarnished chosen by the spectral steed wasn’t merely a strong warrior with a bizarre knack for pulling items out of thin air (admittedly paired with a questionable combat s...

[Demons of NC] Chapter 41

"How’re you feeling?" I asked Rebecca as she stepped out of the ripperdoc's "clinic" at Petrochem Stadium.

"I’m alright..." she replied, looking a bit dazed.

They’d installed a Dynalar Sandevistan—one of the lightest, simplest models of that kind. Good survival stats, accordin...

[Mad Tiger] Chapter 14

Man, Konoha really is a village. Everywhere you go, someone there knows you!

Take the guy I swiped meat from this morning—he’s glaring daggers at me now. But hey, at least he didn’t rat me out. I, of course, acted like the picture of pure innocence, casually licking my paw as if I had...
