Rebecca pushed her shoulder into the gap between door and doorway, watching Daniel unpack. She looked on as Daniel lifted a heavy box, the muscles in his back tensing and rippling even as she watched. He’d long since removed the white t-shirt he’d worn in, on the pretense of it being a hot day - and the shirt had been clinging to hi...

“Princess!?” the girl beneath me screamed, even as the offending valkyrie calmly looked to the side like she hadn’t totally just blown my cover.

“Is she even part of the guild?” Mikaela asked, throwing a glance Singh’s way.
“What guild?” Singh asked, her brow furrowing.
“The adventurer’s guild,...

The night was, in fact, rather silent. Unfortunately, so was my muse. I still couldn’t come up with anything better than “Sharlotte,” which was probably the worst secret identity name of all time considering most humans in this world didn’t even know how to read, and it sounded exactly like my real nam...
I stared at the horned wolf girl in my bed, hardly able to believe my own eyes. My mind was reeling with the implications—had the wolves I fought actually been demons?
…No, I was sure they hadn’t been. While there were varieties of demons who could transform, I was… fairly certain that they reverted to demonoid fo...

The sun was setting by the time we finally got back to the town. According to Reckt the gates and shops would both be closing soon. It wasn’t too late to get a bed or a meal, though… assuming we could get them both in the same location. Otherwise… Well, we did have some food stored in Mikaela’s Empty Bag. ...
“Uh, I get that you want to move on with the quest,” Reckt said, rubbing the back of her head, “but… aren’t you forgetting something?”
“Like what?” I asked. Perhaps I was a touch too cross in my response, judging by the way Reckt flinched, but… Well, if I was being honest with myself I didn’t ...

I stared at Bonny the Bunny. She stared back, eyes wide and nose twitching. I nodded to myself, content with the cuteness, and placed her down on the ground.
“Don’t go running now, you hear?” I warned her. “Or-”
She ran the second she was on the ground, crashing right into a spider web in her blind rush to...
2025-12-08 22:38:37 +0000 UTC View PostI stared at the bear standing before me. It was something like nine feet tall, with dark brown fur and lighter brown spikes extending from its spine and elbows. They looked remarkably sharp, but I doubted their sturdiness. I could likely snap the things off if it came down to it.
The creature didn’t move during my examina...
