"Vander, what are you planning to do? You can't just let yourself be a bartender or some construction worker forever."

"Why not? The work is honest enough."

"Because Zaun needs more than just honest work now."

Determined to solidify Zaun's stance against Noxus, Silco mulled it over and decided he needed to give his old friend a...

GSiN: Ch. 01

My name is Aotsuki Ryouma.

After my birthday this year, I'll be five years old. I live in District 9 of Konoha, and of course, I am still unmarried.

As a child, I never overdid it with chakra, nor did I push myself too hard with physical training.

I went to bed at 10 PM, ensuring I got ten full hours of sleep every day. Before ...

Note: About new Naruto novel

Do you want me to update after writing, or wait till I have 10 chapters?

---Third POV---

"Really? Such a sweet deal?" Hedgehog snapped his dropped jaw back into place. "Goodness, hogging it all to yourself!"

This task was something he had never seen the three veteran players mention on the forums.

"Keep it low-key, low-key," ProGamer_Daddy chuckled slyly.

Bragging about something this envy-ind...

Result

The winner is Naruto.

If I have time, I can even start doing Marvel.

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 33

After several rounds of drinks and dishes that spanned the full range of flavors, Silco patted his flushed face, trying to clear his head.

He planned to discuss business now.

Since Cipher had initiated it last time, the practice of discussing matters during family meals had become a tradition for the close-knit group at The Last Drop...

HSU: Ch. 179

Granny Cat was a true cat lover—at least, that's how she appeared.

She was quite old, dressed in an orange, padded coat, with a large scarf wrapped around her neck. Her hairstyle was flamboyant, almost like a peacock fanning its feathers.

She also wore a cat-ear headband.

When Masashi entered, this black-market merchant was s...

Resisting the urge to shake off the other party's hand, Obito was dragged into the shop.

However, as soon as they entered, the caravan leader let go of Obito's hand and started chatting with the others waiting inside, saying things like, "My nephew still isn't good at handling shops; he almost got scammed by the renovations."

The cro...

---Third POV---

The remaining divine power were left unused for now by Viktor.

Calculating the time, the first batch of three veteran players was nearing level five.

He planned to use these divine power to perfect the training plans for them.

After finalizing the distribution, he closed the console and opened the official...

Naruto: Cthulhu: Ch. 207

Under the guidance of the Four Sound Ninjas, the group departed without raising any alarm in the village.

It seemed these individuals had a thorough understanding of Konoha. Could there have been a spy in the village?

Surrounded on all sides by the Sound Ninjas, Sasuke couldn't help but entertain such thoughts.

Once they left t...

HSU: Ch. 177

Once again stepping into the Land of Lightning, Obito didn't feel like much had changed.

The strength of a great nation lay in its ability to lose—even if the defeat was crushing.

And in its ability to shift the cost of war elsewhere, minimizing its own losses.

For the citizens of the Five Great Nations, most never had to wor...

HSU: Ch. 176

Was there anything more comfortable than sleeping?

Matatabi thought there was—waking up, strolling through the forest, crossing streams, watching the gentle flow of water among the lush greenery, listening to the crisp and melodious chirping of birds, scaring little animals into running away, and then… finding a spot to take another na...

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 32

Silco worked for an hour to prepare dinner. Steam rose from various pots and pans as he moved through the kitchen. The rich aroma of roasted meat and fresh bread filled the air.

By the time he finished, Mylo and Claggor had already returned home. Together, the family brought the dishes to the table.

Compared to the meal Cipher prepar...

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 31

"Powder, what's wrong? We're all family. Hasn't it always been like this? Which sibling, be it Cipher or me, haven't you hugged before?"

The whole situation seemed ridiculous to her.

She scratched her head, looking puzzled. She thought Powder was feeling unwell. The worry showed clearly on her face as she walked over, squatted in fro...

Result of Poll

So, the poll ended. Since no one reads Grimm, I won't continue the story for now. As for Naruto: Cthulhu, updates will likely be 3-5 chapters per week. I'll draft something for the coming week. Here are the options. Multiple choice

HSU: Ch. 175

Early in the morning, Masashi wasn't woken up by the sunlight—he was woken up by being squeezed.

The Land of Fire was a country with many hills. As a resident, waking up among hills and valleys was quite reasonable.

The hills he was facing were a bit exaggerated, though—he had towering mountains on both sides of his head.

C...

HSU: Ch. 174

Pakura looked as if she were drunk.

After finishing the ceremonial toast, she went around the table to offer a round of toasts to everyone, her voice soft but clear. "To the prosperity of the Uchiha clan," she said, earning unanimous praise from the group.

"Such grace in one so accomplished," an old Uchiha member commented, nodding a...

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 30

Vi's punches echoed through The Last Drop.

Her gritted teeth and intense expression made it clear she was furious, itching to fight and desperate to vent her frustration.

Meanwhile, Powder was resting on the table, bored out of her mind. She chewed on a straw, and sipped milk from her glass only to spit it back out and occasionally b...

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 29

Cipher brought a large pile of materials to the weapon testing range and began assembling a modified VK-47 Flatline assault rifle, a favorite weapon among mercenaries and skilled fighters in the Apex world, right in front of Lester.

This wasn't just any Flatline, he'd extensively modified the internals to accommodate his special explosive ...

---Viktor's POV---

I knew all too well the severity of my injuries—something Edgar was also keenly aware of.

This wasn't just a case of my wounds going away.

His expression softened considerably. "No wonder you had the confidence to mention the Sea of Mist in front of them."

"You're overthinking it. Divine power isn't t...

HSU: Ch. 173

For ninja villages, when peace arrived, the quickest way to feel it was through the commercial streets and vibrant night markets.

The merchants experienced the contrast between war and peace most vividly, and they adapted the quickest.

As the sunset fell, the streets suddenly came alive. It was as if they had been deep-fried in oil, ...

HSU: Ch. 172

Today, the atmosphere at the gate was rather serious.

The north gate of Konoha was closed today.

To accommodate clients who would have normally used the north gate, the Konoha Police Force had carved out a temporary path through the woods. Numerous Konoha ninja were assigned to manage security and direct traffic.

The main road ...

"General Lester, welcome to Zaun." Cipher stepped forward with a warm smile, his youth even more apparent in the harsh lighting.

This boy runs a city? The intelligence reports weren't exaggerating. Lester studied the young mayor's face carefully. "Ci... Mayor, you're even younger than I imagined."

He was not quite used to ad...

---Logan's POV---

I listened as Garble firmly stated, "My skill should be passable."

"Does dog paddle count as swimming?" Hedgehog asked, looking uncertain.

"Yeah?" I responded, wondering where this was going. As a veteran player, I knew we needed to assess everyone's abilities accurately.

Hedgehog scratched his head. "Hm...

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 27

Lester declined Mel's offer to help.

He even chose not to use any transportation tools, instead having the soldiers carry the goods on foot to Zaun.

It wasn't that he deliberately wanted to make the soldiers suffer; rather, he wanted to parade openly through Piltover to observe the reactions of its citizens. This would help him make ...

Note

Is anyone reading Grimm or Naruto: Cthulhu?

If not, I would like to take a break from writing for a while or completely stop.

I'm not pleased with the progression of either novel. Grimm could be fixed since there aren't many chapters out yet, but I'm unsure how to progress at this moment.

So, I'd rather write something else li...

HSU: Ch. 171

The fusion of more than one chakra nature transformation, without hereditary bloodline limits, was broadly considered one of the most challenging chakra manipulation techniques.

However, using nature transformations in combination was also highly skill-intensive. It was difficult to judge which technique placed greater demands on the user....

HSU: Ch. 170

When the Uchiha clan developed their ninjutsu system, they placed significant emphasis on the synergy and interconnectivity of their techniques.

Sharingan, Fire Release, and shurikenjutsu were interconnected through a unique tool—wire strings.

The ninja tools of the Uchiha clan were famous, not only for their craftsmanship but also...

MoP: Ch 44

---Viktor's POV---

Too Heartbreaking.

Here we were—myself, once so feared that children wouldn't dare cry in my presence, and Edgar, the knight once renowned for single-handedly clearing high-level monster lairs—now utterly powerless.

Given our current state, I found it laughable to think of us saving anyone. We couldn't ev...

Arcane: TTB: Ch. 26

Several massive warships were docked in Piltover's harbor, the black flags of Noxus fluttering in the wind.

"So, this is the private domain that matriarch left as a reserve for her family?"

"Truly wealthy. Hmm, and also weak. The fear in the eyes of the people says it all. They've grown too comfortable here, afraid of bloodshed and t...
