It didn’t take long before Kanna had questions.
“Kaguya-hime… why are there so many bandits around? Shouldn’t the shinobi villages have dealt with them long ago?”
“A good question,” I said, before pausing, considering how detailed my answer should be.
Howeve...
2025-12-03 16:09:28 +0000 UTC View Post“I admit,” Maw said, brushing dust from his robe as if he hadn’t just been kicked through a wall, “I did not expect you to find me.
But it seems I may have underestimated you all… a bit.”
His voice carried a thin, grating smugness — like someone trying to pret...
2025-12-02 13:56:57 +0000 UTC View PostKanna hurried after me as we passed through the gate and left behind the Iwa shinobi who couldn’t follow us since they had to guard the fortress.
“Kaguya-hime, what you said… did you really mean that?” she couldn’t help but ask.
I didn’t blame her for asking, for wo...
2025-12-01 15:53:19 +0000 UTC View PostAs Tony went through the portal, he was met by a sight that scared him; nothing but pure horror could describe what he saw.
He had thought the Chitauri nearly endless before, but now he truly knew what endless meant. Before him, filling the infinite void of space, was a host...
2025-11-30 15:35:23 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, we spent nearly a whole month traveling through the Land of Waterfalls, even longer than most civilians would, but we weren’t really in a hurry.
We took day breaks to visit famous landmarks, and we went out of our way to experience this wonderful place, this land that h...
2025-11-29 15:28:50 +0000 UTC View PostNick Fury was fuming mad; he was worried he might lose his voice from yelling, but clearly, only by causing others to have a splitting headache would they bother to listen to him.
“You are all mad! How could you possibly authorize such an attack? And on your own fucking people!”<...
2025-11-28 16:15:30 +0000 UTC View PostWe lingered in the Land of Waterfalls longer than strictly necessary.
Partly because the terrain was kinder.
Partly because I saw no gain in rushing Kanna and Karin through endless stone and ash.
Partly because I was tempted.
Tempted to visit Takigakure.
This wa...
2025-11-27 15:32:13 +0000 UTC View Post“So,” Loki began, “I assume you have a way of finding Ebony Maw despite his attempts to hide?”
I nodded. “Indeed. Before these eyes, no lies can survive — and hiding… hiding is just a form of lying. To lie to the senses, that too cannot stand before these eyes.”
The road west of the black-market outpost was quiet — unnaturally so.
But that wasn’t the full truth. Ever since leaving the outpost, we had been shadowed. It was the standard way of things. Everyone knew which bounty we had; they knew our rough destination, and they knew that we...
2025-11-25 14:07:33 +0000 UTC View PostTony looked at Loki. “What’s wrong? Don’t like thunder?”
Loki clearly had conflicted feelings about what was happening and had lost much of his joy. “I’m not too fond of what follows it,” he said cryptically, tightening his grip on Gungnir.
“So he did come,” I...
2025-11-24 12:27:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe black-market chamber hummed with low whispers and the soft jingle of ryō exchanging hands. Most eyes had drifted away from us after the initial shock of recognition, but every shinobi in the room kept a sliver of their senses pointed in my direction. Fear and greed made for sharp atte...
2025-11-23 07:23:24 +0000 UTC View PostWith the entrance of the Asgardian army, the situation changed completely and instantly. The Bifrost sent squad after squad down to face off against the Chitauri, filling the streets of New York with not just the slaughter of human civilians, but also of the Chitauri themselves.

2025-11-22 08:48:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe broker didn’t even blink at my request; he was a smart enough man, one who knew how to use his eyes to stay alive. He could see what most ignored.
He looked at me and Kanna and saw not just fine silk — he saw expensive silk. He saw clean and refined noble-grade clothing. He s...
2025-11-21 06:40:28 +0000 UTC View PostCrossing the ocean to the Americans didn’t take as long as I had expected; it was the first time I was traveling on my Ehangwen. It wasn’t something I brought out often, being too big and eye-catching to take for a casual spin.
But right now, being eye-catching was exactly what I...
2025-11-20 07:19:47 +0000 UTC View PostWe hadn’t walked long before Kanna spoke up again.
“I was thinking that maybe I could help you… to, you know… repay you for everything you have done for us.”
Her voice was so small it nearly vanished under the whisper of the wind.
I raised an eyebrow and glanced...

They moved through the wreckage in bursts—cover to cover, block by block—Tony providing air support while the rest advanced on foot. The air smelled of ozone and scorched metal. Every step...
2025-11-18 12:12:17 +0000 UTC View PostWith the last body dropping to the ground, I slowly pulled all my bones back into me, turning them into pure chakra; they had grown from it and could become it again, with only minimal loss. It truly was one of the most supreme Kekkei Genkai in existence — elegant, efficient, mine.
One Leviathan was already a nightmare; few among them could take on one, much less win without risk and significant collateral damage.
Much less, dealing with this many, it was a nightmare come true, a truly hopeless situation, they couldn’t possibly break through that wall of mons...
2025-11-16 04:58:58 +0000 UTC View PostIt had been three days since we left the capital. So far, nothing had happened — but I knew it was only a matter of time.
And the reason I was so sure of that was my Byakugan, hidden under the blindfold. I no longer deactivated them. Or rather, after removing the seal, my chakra ha...
2025-11-15 07:37:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn’t that Tony hadn’t thought about reaching the tower and shutting down the machine itself. But he knew that doing so wouldn’t be easy. After all, the person behind all this would surely try to stop them.
He just hadn’t expected such a large portal to be able to sus...
We spent the next week within the capital, mostly just touring it like tourists — seeing the sights, eating the local dishes, wandering from one market to the next.
It was mostly for Kanna’s sake.
The poor woman had been through so much; even while traveling with me, she h...
The city was burning.
From above, New York looked like a dying constellation — every explosion another star collapsing in on itself. The air was thick with smoke and ash, the cries of the wounded mingling with the unending roar of alien engines.
The Chitauri descended like a...
Morning light spilled gently through the paper screens, glimmering across polished wood. The capital had woken early — the muffled sound of merchants calling to one another, the faint clatter of cart wheels, the endless heartbeat of commerce.
As I awoke, I looked and saw that b...
Ebony Maw looked up at the blue sky as the beam of spatial energy shot upward and started to open a grand portal. Beyond it, he could already see the Chitauri — those nearly mindless tools of war.
Mindless, yes, but useful.
It had been almost a week of local time since he...
2025-11-10 07:49:48 +0000 UTC View PostThe capital of the Land of Fire was the largest and wealthiest city in the world, home to a staggering number of people and spanning a massive area — all housed within great walls and surrounded by fields and farms.

That night, the people of Camelot beheld a sight like few others — a sight they would never forget. Or rather, the entire night was one they wouldn’t forget, and not just them.
The people of Earth would never forget this day.
For those in Camelot, the amazement started with a ...
2025-11-08 11:19:16 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t know why I told Kanna about my past — well, about my children at least. Maybe it was because I never had anyone I could tell anything about that part of my life.
So many things I couldn’t talk about: the past, the future, the way this world was so different compared to Ea...
I didn’t know how much time there was between the attack on SHIELD’s flying aircraft carrier and the battle in New York, but it couldn’t be all that long.
A matter of hours at most, just enough for everyone to catch their breath, talk it out, and — after learning of Couls...
The smoke of Kusagakure still hung in the sky days after the burning. To anyone passing by, the air tasted of ash and copper, the smell of fear soaked into every stone.
Yet the cause of the destruction had left — and with her, the one thing that made Kusagakure stand out among ...
Morning in Asgard was unlike morning anywhere else.
While feasting, I hadn’t had the chance to see it, as we were inside with roaring fires everywhere, but now—it was beautiful.
As Asgard was a landmass floating in space, mornings didn’t work the same; the sun didn’t rise,...
