OP: AMP Ch. 122

At the bedrock layer, Marcus led a small expedition consisting of Shira and Goliath.

He turned to Goliath. "Try using your Devil Fruit ability to eat the bedrock."

"Creator, you're telling me... you want me to eat bedrock? Are you serious right now?"

The image that popped into Marcus' head was so ridiculous he had to shake it o...

MCIM Ch. 54

Skye hadn't been able to close her mouth properly since she'd watched the beautiful vampire sprout fangs and Mario use a pickaxe to turn her car into what looked like a die-cast toy model.

Everyone talks big until reality slaps them in the face. Before she'd learned what the world was really like, she had been obsessed with supernatural ev...

MCIM Ch. 53

Mario followed Coulson's directions through Miami's nighttime streets until he spotted what he was looking for, a white van parked along the ocean beach highway.

Palm trees lined both sides of the road. Even at night, the beach was filled with joggers, couples, the occasional drunk tourist stumbling through the sand.

He pulled the Bu...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 301

Whoosh.

After half a month of arduous travel, a river appeared before him.

Aragorn looked at the river, and its name surfaced in his mind:

The River Harnen.

Perhaps the ownership of Harondor was still disputed, but this river was without a doubt the border of Harad. Beyond it lay Harad's territory.

It was p...

"Are you looking for him?" Ecthelion asked.

"No, not really. I just happened to pass by and wanted to visit Thorongil, to see how he's been doing lately. But as you've seen, I always seem to miss him."

"That's a pity. But as long as we still walk this world, paths are bound to cross again."

Ecthelion continued, "As for his move...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 299

The plan was finalized, authorized by the highest authority, and the project was established. Construction teams and security forces quickly arrived at the ruins of Framsburg, located in the northernmost part of the Vales of Anduin, nestled between two mountain ranges.

To the north of these ruins lay the Grey Mountains. Within those mounta...

OP: AMP Ch. 121

The merchants weren't the only ones to notice something was off. Within days, both the CP intelligence network and the World Government itself had caught on to the strange happenings in Arabasta.

The problem wasn't just the demagnetization, it was what had preceded it. Vivi's speech about the republic, about citizens having rights...

OP: AMP Ch. 120

Shira...

Why did that name sound familiar? There was something about it that tickled the edge of Marcus' memory.

He watched as Shira adjusted the blanket wrapped around her shoulders, her eyes staring back at him with that same cold expression.

An image flashed through his mind, a girl in flowing white robes, holding a pure whi...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 298

The City of Waters, also known as the "Water Capital."

When it was founded, it immediately became one of the largest cities in the history of Middle-earth.

In this capital where three rivers converge, there stands a dazzling white sky garden where rainbows almost always shimmer, a massive lighthouse bright enough to rival the dayligh...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 297

After the banquet ended, Garrett didn't forget to go check on Frodo. But the little fellow was far too small at that moment.

A newborn infant... He didn't want to hold him, afraid that if he touched him even a little, he might cause some mishap.

So, this matter was put aside for now. At least he would wait a few months before trying ...

MCIM Ch. 52

"Finally found you."

Mario stared at the labyrinth map in his hands. Every fucking corner had been checked before he finally located the final boss chamber. He'd opened so many treasure chests along the way that he couldn't tell if his luck was amazing or terrible.

No new wands, but he'd scored some decent spell books, a mountain of ...

MCIM Ch. 51

After sending Blade back to Washington with instructions to keep hunting vampires, Mario returned to his underground base in Central Park. He collapsed onto the couch, staring up at the golden fluorite blocks embedded in the ceiling that provided light.

He'd deliberately left Pearl and Woody with Blade to help manage the Association's oper...

OP: AMP Ch. 119

Marcus watched as Goliath wandered off with the self-proclaimed "Men's Romance Brigade." They were already arguing about which transformation was cooler.

But something was nagging at him.

His consciousness hadn't only descended upon Goliath. Over the past weeks, he'd used Soul Possession on several other iron golems to give them comm...

OP: AMP Ch. 118

Igaram entered the pool area. He scanned the group, spotted Vivi lounging near the edge of the pool, and made his way over to her.

"Princess... this is..."

"Igaram," Vivi interrupted gently, "I'm not a princess anymore, remember? Just call me Vivi, like you used to when I was little."

Igaram didn't respond. He silently handed h...

"Do you want to come along with me and have a look?"

Bilbo waved the letter in his hand, extending the invitation to Garrett.

"The Bagginses are a lovely family. They won't mind if I bring an extra guest. In fact, not only will they not mind, they might even be glad to have more people."

"After all, the more people, the merrier...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 295

"Burp~"

On the night of Bilbo's birthday, at the dining table, he let out a satisfied burp. Looking at the table again, he saw that more than half the food still remained.

"It was so delicious, but I really can't eat another bite... hmm, but maybe I can still have a little more wine."

He looked at Garrett and asked, "And you?"<...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 294

When the willow branches sprouted buds, when the snow by the roadside had completely melted, and when fresh green grass revealed itself beneath, Dale welcomed a joyous day: Bain's wedding was being held in the great hall.

In the presence of relatives and friends, the tall and handsome young man and the pure, beautiful maiden made their vow...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 293

After the battle with the Balrog at the Lonely Mountain, peace lasted for quite some time. For several years afterward, nothing major happened.

During this period, the Rangers stationed near Wayfort, on the edge of the Ettenmoors, finally mapped out the geography of this vast wasteland and began to push deeper into it year by year.

A...

MCIM Ch. 50

Mario turned his attention back to the screen, where the Hulk was currently ripping the turret off a tank like someone opening a particularly stubborn can of beans.

Blade didn't know much about this Ivan character Mario had just spoken with, but he couldn't imagine Ivan being stronger than Mario. "You worried?"

On screen, the Hulk fi...

MCIM Ch. 49

Hearing the sound behind them. Mario grabbed Blade's arm and dove into the two-block-high shelter he'd prepared earlier.

"That kind of monster..."

Mario looked where Blade was pointing. Another enderman stood there, jaw hanging open as it released an angry screech directly at Blade.

Whoosh.

The creature vanished ...

IUTT: Ch. 276

For nearly a month, the major hidden villages had been mobilizing their forces and preparing for war.

What they never expected, even in their wildest dreams, was that on the very first day of battle, the Kage of the Four Great Villages, along with the leaders of six smaller villages, would all become captives of Konoha.

Among them, M...

IUTT: Ch. 275

Border of the Land of Rain, Ame Camp.

At this moment, the vanguard units sent by Iwa and Kumo had just joined up with the ninjas of Ame.

Inside the command tent, the commanders of the three villages were leaning over a map, discussing their offensive plan.

This frontline was of utmost importance, it was also one of Konoha's key...

GSiN: Ch. 183

On the streets of Taki, Aoi strolled with a smile, casually greeting familiar comrades while subtly scanning her surroundings.

Once she was sure no one was paying attention, she quietly slipped into a deserted corner.

"Summoning Technique!"

Her hands quickly formed seals, and with a burst of smoke, a black beetle, almost the si...

OP: AMP Ch. 117

Three days. That's all it had taken.

The Kingdom of Arabasta, no, the newly renamed Republic of Arabasta, had transformed so completely that Marcus could barely recognize it as the same wasteland they'd liberated less than a week ago.

The desert kingdom was now filled with green life. Sure, the weather was still hot as hell, but now ...

OP: AMP Ch. 116

Marineford.

Sengoku sat at his desk, staring at the document in his hands like it might suddenly make more sense if he just kept looking at it. His expression had gone through several stages, and now had settled into something that could only be described as "what the actual hell."

"The World Government wants to strip Crocodile of hi...

MCIM Ch. 48

AHHHHHHH!

Under Blade's wary gaze, the ghostly creature that had appeared opened its enormous mouth and spat out a fireball the size of a human head. His entire body tensed. But before he could move, he watched Mario assume a batting stance, like he was about to hit a baseball.

The fireball came screaming toward them, traili...

MCIM Ch. 47

Washington D.C.'s vampire population was about to have a very bad night.

The alley was the kind of place where bad things happened to good people, narrow, dark, reeking of piss and rotting garbage. Normally, it was quiet except for the occasional homeless person looking for shelter or a vampire looking for an easy meal.

Tonight, it w...

IUTT: Ch. 274

At the various front-line camps of the Land of Fire, the ninjas had all received their new equipment.

Looking at the gear brimming with a sense of advanced technology, many of them felt an intense sense of unreality.

This world had gone mad.

They truly never expected that Konoha's technology had advanced to such a degree, so fa...

IUTT: Ch. 273

None of those who can rise to the upper ranks of Konoha are fools.

Even someone as once pure-hearted as Sakumo, after years of experience, is no longer some ignorant youth.

Perhaps there were some who didn't understand at first, but after Shin's words, how could they not see it clearly?

With all the major hidden villages speaki...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 292

The bat flew away into the shadows.

When the Balrog met its destruction, the people of Dale rejoiced, and the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain celebrated as well.

Garrett, having obtained new materials and achieved new accomplishments, was equally pleased with the outcome.

But far away in Mordor, certain beings were less pleased....
