A day like any other, this was. Terry wouldn’t ever have thought his end would come walking down the street, much less that it’d come in the shape of a pregnant woman. He hadn’t even paid much attention to her when she passed by. All Terry had in his mind back then was what he’d have for dinner that night, unaware upon seeing him, someone else had begun having thoughts of her own dinner:

“Can I...eat you?”

The

All logic said that playing video games (Apex Legends in this case) during a big thunderstorm probably wasn’t the brightest idea. Normally the concern Lucy would have was that a thunderbolt would strike and fry the hardware of the console, and that’d be only if she was incredibly unlucky. What were the odds her house would get struck by thunder?

So of course, that was what happened. Lucy barely had time to blink when she heard the noise of the thunder hitting

Mentioning she was helping build a shrink ray at work for Brendan’s attention as if he had been laser focused on it. “Can I see it?” he had asked. Amy Wong didn’t say no to that, thinking Brendan just wanted to take a look at interesting technology, although perhaps the drinks they had both taken also had something to do with this decision.

Showing off the shrink ray also wasn’t too difficult. Clearly it was made for portability, and Amy hel

At times like these, you felt like you were on top of the world.

Not anyone could be in the place you were at right now – the Domus Flau arena. Large, round, and the arena where the Grand Magic Games were always held. When it was time to determine which is the strongest guild in Fiore, the best and brightest guilds would come to prove their mettle.

You were prepared for what may come. After all, your skills were second to none. Whatever mag

It’s said thunder often heralds something dramatic and unusual, especially when the thunder itself is unnatural. This was one of those times. The night was clear, calm and without a cloud, yet suddenly the sky light up as if it was set on fire, and a loud, bone-rattling noise shook the forest. A lightning bolt had hit the ground! And, just as suddenly as it had appeared, it vanished. There was no storm, nor even a bit of rain. Soon the silence returned to the forest, the calm that was ther

Another night of delivering booze. It was repetitive, but it gave him money, so Makuta tolerated it. He was looking for something better, but so far there had been no luck. It didn’t matter, he had to focus on his current job anyway. Makuta looked down at the address he had scribbled, and then upwards, at a window near the top of the building. It didn’t seem like many people lived around here, judging by the amount of dark windows at such an early hour of the night. Makuta sighed, se

The gardening club almost never got any visitors, but when there were some, it was quite interesting. Things were never unexciting when somebody in the Cherryton Academy remembered the gardening club existed and went to get some flowers. There hardly was any other reason to go – nobody was interested in joining, for reasons Haru was very familiar with.



She wasn’t entirely sure if she preferred when someone came to the club. U

Having extra money was such a blessing! It wasn’t even that much – it definitely wasn’t nearly enough for Amelia or her friends to quit their day jobs and focus on adventuring full-time, but it was a rather nice amount of money for just a few hours of work. Who wouldn’t be glad to have a big bag of gold, enough for three lucky gals to have a nice night of fun in the red light district?

“I’m telling you, we’re on our way to easy l

“This can’t keep happening” said Erwin. He hadn’t touched his cup of tea at all, too busy staring at Levi with his best stern expression. Erwin was not pleased at all, and most people talking to him at such times would be sitting stiff on that chair, sweating profusely.

But Levi was unlike most people. Instead of being worried or even apologetic, he just took his own cup of tea by grabbing it from the top and sipped it calmly and slowly. His expre

By now it was pretty much a routine: wait until the music box’s sounds were gone, then sneak towards the night guard. With some luck he wouldn’t notice anything until it was too late. The good thing about having that boneless body, and about being mostly colored black, was that it blended rather well with the darkness until it was time to leap forward. That was important for what they tried to do every single night: kill the night guard.
That was the Puppet’s routine, and it di

Pashmina
left the village early. Very few villagers noticed, as Pashmina had
tried to make it as subtle as possible. She was happy in that place,
that was something she couldn’t deny, but she felt there could be
better places to live in. The goat packed a few things in a bag and
decided to go explore, find a new place to live.
She had checked
maps and found a promising little island, not too far away from the
village. It was close enough for her to visit her former home as
often as she wished,

Jessica
grabbed another forkful of chicken salad.
It was another
usual day, just eating alone in a random table in the college
cafeteria. Jessica wasn’t the most sociable person one could hope
to meet; in fact, she preferred to eat alone or at least without any
company near her.
Unfortunately due
to a quirk her body had, eating was something she did during most of
the day. She had been born with a strange genetic mutation that gave
her an abnormally fast metabolism, to the point where almost a

The
spa itself was as luxurious as the flyer had described it.
Equustra didn’t
hesitate; she entered the building, the crumpled flyer in her hand.
She had found it a few days ago, and her interest had been piqued.
The flyer described a spa where they ‘would treat the client as
they deserve’, as well as ‘giving the client an
once-in-a-lifetime pampering experience’. It was attractive but it
didn’t fully convince Equustra. Anybody could say they’d give a
good service and end being a
