---Third POV---

Bang!

Everyone fell downward.

NineTails was thrown offline on the spot, her chair violently sliding backward.

"Ahhh!"

She pulled off her gaming helmet, and that feeling of weightlessness vanished in an instant.

Still shaken, she patted her chest.

"Good thing my brain is still her...

Robin finally closed Noland's logbook, her fingers tapping against the cover as she processed everything she'd read.

"Noland, Roger... the City of Gold, One Piece."

She stared at the book thoughtfully. "The skull's left eye is the City of Gold. So then... what's the right eye?"

She couldn't help but wonder, was the skull's righ...

MCIM Ch. 96

The battle between Thanos and Hulk entered its climax the moment they clashed. Hulk came in swinging his axe. Against a pure warrior like Thanos, holding back wasn't even in his vocabulary.

"HULK SMASH!"

He brought the axe down in an overhead strike. Thanos saw the opening, Hulk's guard was down. One well-placed thrust could seriousl...

"That doesn't look like a good omen."

A troll with a chilling aura, a werewolf, and an orc whose origin and allegiance were both unknown.

"What do you plan to do?" Gandalf asked Garrett.

"What else can I do? Of course, I'm going to take a look."

"I'll go with you," Gandalf decided on the spot.

"Aren't you going to d...

"How is it? What's the situation in Isengard?"

Outside the castle, in a clearing, three of them each found something to sit on and rest, holding an impromptu meeting.

In response to Gandalf's question, Garrett thought for a moment and said, "It's quiet, too quiet, actually. Saruman isn't there, and there's no trace of the Nazgûl eit...

Clink!

The wine glasses collided with a crisp sound. The two brothers, both commanders, raised their drinks in salute to the soldiers, then to each other.

"Remember this day," Boromir said with a hearty laugh. "Today, life is good!"

Faramir smiled back. They drained their cups in one gulp, their joy beyond words. But h...

"It feels a little too quiet."

Garrett took out a torch and began walking up the staircase step by step.

"Saruman, are you there? If you don't come out, I'll just burn this tower to the ground!" he called out, but after waiting for a while, there was still no response.

That confirmed it. Saruman really wasn't here. Otherwise, t...

Almost the very second Frodo, filled with excitement, ran toward the bar, several gazes turned in his direction.

"Pippin, shut up!"

"What's wrong, Frodo?"

Grabbing Pippin by the shoulders, Frodo whispered, "Gandalf said we mustn't reveal who we are. It would put us in danger!"

Pippin looked flustered. "Sorry, I didn't kno...

"Your intent is way too obvious," Kenji said, looking at his three students. "And don't fall for such blatant bait."

"We're not giving up yet!" Haruto said, rubbing his sore arm where he'd crashed into Kaede.

The three exchanged quick glances. Then, they scattered and vanished into the trees and tall grass surrounding the training gr...

NYP Ch. 44

As night fell, the lights of Yakiniku Q glowed warm.

"Cheers!"

Kenji raised his glass of juice along with Haruto, Kaede, and Aoi.

Tonight, the place was packed. Word of the alliance between Konoha and Suna had spread through the village, and everyone wanted to celebrate the end of the war. Every decent restaurant in Konoha was ...

"By the way," Jiraiya added casually, "that reinforcement's name is Aotsuki Ryouma."

The moment his words fell, Sōto and Hanzō's expressions both changed at once.

"Aotsuki Ryouma?"

Aoi repeated the somewhat familiar name under her breath.

As the Seven-Tails jinchūriki, she had rarely ever left Taki except for that one ...

HSU: Ch. 334

Kurotsuchi's comings and goings didn't even register in Madara's awareness. Meeting the Tsuchikage was just a matter of convenience anyway, saved him the trip.

Right now, his focus was on training Nagato. The guy had the Rinnegan but didn't even know how to use its ocular power. If he ran into Masashi in this state, he'd be dead in seconds...

MoP: Ch. 170

---Third POV---

The leaders present exchanged stunned looks. The one whose face looked the worst was the officer in charge of ground security.

He shouted angrily, "You think exaggerating the facts will get you out of responsibility?"

Most of the others seemed to agree, glaring suspiciously at the few who had fled there.

T...

"Hold on, why'd you stop reading?"

Marcus had suddenly gone quiet, and the Straw Hats all turned to look at him with confused expressions.

He held up the worn logbook. "Because what comes next is basically spoiler territory. Looks like Noland completed his journey through both Paradise and the New World, sailed all the way around the...

MCIM Ch. 95

Banner sat on the ground, cradling his charred arm with his good hand. The healing spell was still working its magic. Warm energy flowed through his body, concentrating on the damaged tissue. Black scabs cracked and fell away, revealing bright green skin underneath.

Mario clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. "Alright, the snap'...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 348

"No."

Gandalf shook his head slowly and replied, "I wasn't taken to Mordor. Someone else was taken. This is urgent, Garrett. Saruman's situation is dangerous right now."

They hadn't even entered the gate yet before he hurriedly related everything that had happened to him.

"You didn't stop any of that?" Garrett scratched his hea...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 347

"Nazgûl!"

Both wizards inside the tower spoke the intruder's name at once. Saruman frowned and immediately handed back the staff he had just snatched from Gandalf, who hastily seized his staff and forced himself to stand upright.

Shriiiek!

A monstrous flying beast let out a savage roar as it dove toward the tower...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 346

"Saruman!"

Gandalf's tone was agitated and stern. "Don't you understand? These orcs are not natural life at all. They are twisted creations. They have no souls, they are not children of Ilúvatar. Their very existence is an embodiment of evil. Even if they now obey you, that does not change their nature. Unless..."

"Unless?"

Sa...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 345

A moment later, Sam sat obediently in the back while Frodo whispered quietly with Gandalf.

"Sam's always been interested in tales of the Elves," Frodo said. "He, Pippin, and Merry used to sneak peeks at Bilbo's books. Please forgive him, Gandalf. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm."

Gandalf nodded slightly, signaling his trust. Indeed,...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 344

"Cooperate?"

Garrett was amused by the envoy's question.

"Sauron must have been cooped up in that tower so long he's lost his mind. What did he send you for, to come and die?"

The envoy didn't react to Garrett's blunt mockery. He kept the same attitude as before, as if he hadn't heard it. Remaining humble, head bowed, he contin...

NYP Ch. 43

"It's Lady Tsunade! And Jiraiya-sama, and Orochimaru-sama!"

"Look! Sakumo-sama is back!"

"We won! We actually won!"

Cheers erupted all around him as Kenji stepped through Konoha's gates. Villagers lined both sides of the street, packed shoulder to shoulder. They waved and shouted, some crying, some laughing, many doing both at ...

---Third POV---

Unfortunately, no one cared about his opinion.

"Haha! Cross-tier kill on an advanced mage!"

"Canceling cast time, no honor at all!"

Some people rubbed their arms, still shaken.

"That woman's the alchemist mentioned in the intel, right? Her attack methods are way too nasty!"

He'd almost gotten a...

---Third POV---

Lux hastily closed the game panel and held her breath, watching the situation ahead.

After Josef threw the first punch, the other sirens stood up and joined in, attacking the wall, including Tina, who had just been lying weakly on the ground. Her eyes were still full of fury, but now carried a trace of confident contr...

OP: AMP Ch. 163

"The sound disappeared?"

Shura looked surprised as he tilted his head, listening to the silence that had replaced Satori's presence.

Nearby, Gedatsu was biting his lip so hard it nearly bled, his eyes rolling back. He'd forgotten how to speak properly ages ago, and his inability to breathe through his nose meant he couldn't even expr...

MCIM Ch. 94

After Natasha's explanation, the assembled Avengers had a basic understanding of where Mario had come from, another universe entirely, one where Thanos hadn't won.

Mario took his time studying the group before him, and what he saw made his chest tighten with something between pity and discomfort.

Stark looked like shit. The man he re...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 343

Facing the Ranger's question, Gollum hesitated for a moment before tentatively replying, "Then we're going to... have meat?"

His voice was full of confusion and doubt. Clearly, the Ranger's actions had taken him by surprise, leaving him momentarily unable to understand. But soon, that no longer mattered.

A moment later, the Ranger br...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 342

"Gollum has been caught."

Right at the start, this skilled Ranger brought Garrett a piece of explosive news.

"Tell me the details."

"It was that lame Uruk leader who delivered him personally. He caught Gollum at a pass near Minas Morgul. Also, he said that spies from Mordor have been following Gollum. It seems they want him to ...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 341

"The Shire, Hobbit, Baggins."

Inside the dark and evil tower, pondering this information, Sauron summoned the Nazgûl and began his arrangements.

Clang!

The great gates of the tower opened, and Gollum was escorted to the borders of Mordor.

"You weak and disgusting little creature. If you still wish to live, go an...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 340

This time, he had finally stepped outside the gate.

Sigh...

Garrett couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. He hadn't managed to kill Shelob. That creature's vitality was unexpectedly strong, thicker even than a dragon's. After severely injuring her, she still managed to escape.

After all, he had already searched for ov...

NYP Ch. 42

Jiraiya slammed both hands against the ground. White smoke exploded outward, and a toad materialized in front of them.

"I need you to hold something for me," he said, gesturing toward the unconscious Third Kazekage. "Swallow him and keep him secure until we can hand him over to the Hokage."

The toad's mouth opened wide, revealing a c...
