《A Beautiful Woman of Science and Other Absurdities》Chapter 24
Advertisement
Having returned to their research offices after visiting Anaelle and Marielle, Kylian and Viviane met up with Moyenne, who reappeared while they were away. A happy Moyenne greeted her colleague and roommate.
“Hi, Viviane! Let me guess, I missed out on visiting Anaelle and Marielle with you?”
“I couldn’t find you!” replied Viviane, “But I asked Kylian to come with me instead.”
Moyenne raised an eyebrow. This juicy news needed further exploration. “Ooooooo! Maybe it was a good thing for me not to come along this time. Was it like a date?”
Viviane scoffed at Moyenne’s suggestion that Kylian and her had gone on a date. “It was nothing of the sort!”
“Boring!” Moyenne did not hesitate to express her disappointment.
Kylian, not liking the direction the conversation was going, tried to change the subject before too many embarrassing details about him were revealed. “Say, Viviane, I never got a chance to ask you, but why do you like those two girls so much?”
“I know why!” Moyenne blurted out. She was eager to spill another secret about Viviane.
“Oh, be quiet Moyenne!” scolded Viviane. Realizing that Kylian was going to find out one way or another, she turned to Kylian and decided to answer his question herself. “One day, Dr. Renard brought his twin daughters to the office with him because he couldn’t find anyone else to watch them for the afternoon. He asked Moyenne and me to babysit for a day.”
“It was fun instead of work.” Moyenne smiled remembering that day. “Those two are such a riot! They do everything the same.”
Viviane continued to explain, “Anyway, it was then that I learned that their mother passed away when they were not yet three years old and they don’t remember anything about her. I felt bad for them thinking that they had grown up all these years without a mother, because for me, too, I had grown up not knowing my real mother nor my father. Somehow, I felt a strong connection with them.”

Moyenne could not contain herself, reliving the story Viviane told to Kylain. She squealed, “And that’s when they asked Viviane to be their ‘Fairy Godmother.’ Ohmigod! Isn’t that TOO cute?”
Moyenne had embarrassed Viviane again! But Viviane continued on explaining. “I don’t know why I said ‘yes’, but I just couldn’t say no to them. So now, I’m their ‘Fairy Godmother’, I guess.” Viviane gave a sheepish grin.
Perhaps Viviane thought that Fairy Godmothers were too childish to believe in, or perhaps she thought that Fairy Godmothers should have magical powers which she did not have any. Or perhaps she thought that being a fairy was just too silly to imagine. Whatever her reasons, Viviane now added “fairy” to her list of titles, “Physicist” and “fashion model” being the other two.
Kylian tried to imagine Viviane dressed up as a fairy, but his imaginary fairy was not the typical, fantasy, woodland type. Instead, his version was the sexy Halloween kind of fairy! He felt guilty just imagining Viviane like that, so he stopped himself right away before his thoughts turned naughty.
Distracted by the image in his head and in typical manner for Kylian, he had only one profound thing to say after learning about the relationship between Viviane and the twin girls.
“Oh.”

Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.

But the land of the demons is large and many dangers lurk within the shadows. -------------This is a reincarnation story. The prologue is to let everyone know that I will be writing this story as well as to expect the next chapters.

The Eye in the Sky
People have always thought that the undead would come from hell - that they would rise from their graves to bring their torments upon the earth. They never thought that they would come from the heavens instead and rain upon the world like divine judgment. Ten years had passed since that day. Evan had thought that he had seen all there is to see. What remained of civilized society couldn't recover. Millions of zombies wandered in every city, and thousands more roam the countryside. Every day was a struggle to survive just as it had always been. He, as well as most of the survivors that remained on earth, had resigned themselves to a life of wandering until their deaths. Their last hope was news of an underground settlement being constructed to the far west, outside the eyes of the wandering and falling undead. But then they encounter a girl who had survived in the middle of a heavily-infested city. She claims that she knows of a way to end the apocalypse once and for all. What should he and his group do?
