When it comes to dealing with unexpected occurrences, the main problem is dealing with the fallout. Say you get hit by a limo on the way to your first day of school, what happens then? The first, immediate problem is that you’ve been hit by a damn car. Broken bones? Possible. Ludicrous medical ...

Oftentimes, when Shirou found himself dealing with royalty, it was due to necessity. See, by the nature of a royal lineage being as long lived, it was fairly common for them to have some form of magical energy. It was the reason why the Clock Tower still technically served under the British monar...

They were sent back to London soon after it was clear that Talon had completely vacated the area. ‘They’ meaning everyone, except for Captain Amari. Or rather, Lena should be calling her Mrs. Amari now.
The reason was both sad and understandable. Without her memory, the Overwatch legend...

Fighting is, as unfortunate as it is, something I’ve had to do quite a bit in this world. Minor scuffles when random would-be muggers? I’d beat the shit out of them to make a point. Knights that don’t know how to take a hint that I don’t want to spar? I’d lose on purpose just to make th...

A Chinese dao. A Swiss zweihander. A Sumerian axe. An Aztec macuahuitl. Weapons that he had seen from Gilgamesh’s Gate of Babylon all those years ago. Unlike the many, many treasures inside of that Noble Phantasm, these ones were not. They were plain weapons, the only distinguishing feature of ...

After a couple of hours figuring out just what had happened, several more Overwatch personnel were sent to the Polish hospital they were staying in. More or less, they were to provide relief and support to the staff there - and more importantly, security. With the heightened tensions of a terrori...

I feel like this is becoming too common...but yeah, this week's chapter will be delayed, and will be released alongside the other chapter next week.

There are many types of magic in this world. Fire, water, earth, wind, yin and yang. Four main elemental magics, and two extras. Add on some more Spirit-based magic, and you now have the makings of a basic, easy to digest isekai fantasy system.
Of course, because this was the case, there wo...

The wind on the highway smelled like dust and iron. Wagons groaned, leather creaked, and somewhere behind him Helena’s wings rasped as she settled again on a cart’s rail. He kept the Imperial writ tucked where his hand could find it without looking. The parchment felt heavier than it should -...

It’s a miracle that I still remember all of these tropes when I haven’t so much as seen a light novel in years. Maybe they’re just burned in. Maybe they’re muscle memory for the brain. Or maybe I’ve been living in one long enough that even if I wake up with gray hair and a mortgage, I...

“How’s her condition?” Archer spoke as he entered the hospital room. Lena was sitting down on one of the chairs beside the hospital bed where Captain Amari was laying in. It was her turn to watch over her, as they had taken to doing shifts.
They were in a hospital in Poland, though Le...

The chamberlain didn’t posture or preach; he slid three sealed rolls across a scarred desk and spoke like a man paying a bill, “Go before dawn. Don’t draw eyes.” The halls still pulsed with the Emperor’s order, with Zorzal’s swallowed outrage, and with the heavy silence that follows b...

Can't write for long cause it hurts my head right now. Essentially, haven't finished the chapter due to high blood pressure over the week. Nothing about stress, just hereditary. Will try to post two chapters next week, or three after if this continues next week. Thank you for understanding.

The more they ran, the more that Lena could spot Omnic bodies lying motionless on the ground. Some had holes in their torsos, others lacked torsos to begin with. All of them bore the mark of Archer shooting them down, one way or the other.
Despite it all, Lena and Sombra continued to run - ...

‘The hero arriving late’ is a trope as old as time. Often, this depicts the heroes as still having human flaws, in that the trials that they rushed through were just so great that even the hero struggled with it. Often, this ends up with the hero seeing what they wanted to save being burned t...

What did it mean to be a hero?
Ever since that night, when Shirou spoke with Kiritsugu, he had thought that an Ally of Justice was equivalent to being a hero. Or rather, that being an Ally of Justice automatically made one a hero. That all one had to do was to uphold the very values that a ...

The first thing that Lena did as she heard the gunshot was force the person next to her to the ground. The second was to whip around her head to find where the shot had impacted. Conventional wisdom would say to find where the shooter was, and finding out where the bullet, or whatever it might ha...

A beginning and an end. When we talk about anything, these two are constants in everything. Everything begins, and everything will eventually end. This, of course, applies to life in general. Everyone is born to a mother and father, and everyone will eventually die.

Emiya stared at the glass in front of him in thought. He had Reinforced it to handle just about anything below Divinity itself, so there was no chance that O’Deorain could get out by herself. Of course, he was worried that the arm she sported could be used to bypass her confinement.

The needs of a populace outweigh the wants. This is the basic idea behind society. By the very nature of the world, there are a finite amount of resources to be shared around. In order to facilitate an ‘equal’ society, there must also be a balance between the various needs and wants of each i...

The Senate chamber was never truly silent. Even in the absence of voices, the weight of history pressed down upon it. History that anyone that stood in it for more than a few seconds would be able to feel. Be it from the cracks that lined the walls, ones that couldn't be repaired due to the ever-...

I remember hearing of a quote once. It went along the lines of: ‘The only constants in life are death and taxes.’ Respectfully, I disagree with this notion.
There are many constants in life that exist. The need to breathe, the gravity-that-shouldn’t-be on a flat world, and the ever-pr...

Emperor Molt Sol Augustus watched as the strange group departed the Senate chamber, his fingers steepled beneath his chin. The Celt - Chulainn - was an enigma.

For a brief moment, all that Lena could see was the rubble falling towards her.
