《Reborn as the Duke’s Daughter ~ The Goddesses are Ruining my Life!》Ch. 5 – Pushed Down by a Goddess?!
Advertisement
Maven, a bit surprised at Henna’s energetic declaration that she’d be bestowing her blessing, raised an eyebrow and asked, “Is it really okay for me to receive the blessing of two goddesses? Two polar opposite Goddesses, at that. I’m happy to receive it if it will improve my odds of survival, but only if there won’t be any negative effects. I don't want to grow a second head or anything.” Waving her tiny hands back and forth in denial, Henna said, “It’s fine! It’s fine! The blessing won’t hurt you or anything.” Expression shifting to a mature smile, Henna continued, “Fufu… In fact, I bet you it’ll feel… amazing… The fusion of light and dark, I’m quite excited to see how things turn out.” Maven, a bit disturbed by the carnivorous smirk that Henna was turning her way, took several steps back. Henna took several steps forward. The two performed an odd dance across Kannon’s Divine Realm, Maven trembling like a little rabbit while Henna playfully chased - a cat playing with its prey. Eventually tiring of the little game, Henna blinked out of existence for a moment. Reappearing above Maven, Henna allowed gravity to take it’s course and the two fell to the ground below. Maven ended up pinned beneath Henna, face blushing furiously, with faces so close to each other that the tips of their noses lightly brushed each other. Kannon, having stood the side as a mute participant thus far, finally jumped back in with a panicked,” Wha-wha-wha- WHAT are you doing?!” Clearly embarrassed at the adult scene occurring in front of her, Kannon waved her entire body in protest and moved to separate the two entangled bodies. Henna, not paying any mind to Kannon’s protest, gazed playfully at Maven’s teary eyes. Through watering eyes, Maven noticed that Henna’s eyes were not the solid black that they appeared. The sclera and iris were different shades of grey, so dark in in color that the two appeared pure black from even a small distance. Her pupils, on the other hand, were as dark as a black hole and, similar to a black hole, they seemed to suck in nearby light. They were a bottomless void - swallowing and captivating everything around them. The effect gave her pupil’s the appearance of a sea of twinkling stars, pattern ever-shifting. Those twinkling pupils mesmerized Maven and she limply lay in the goddess’s grip. Henna, laughing at Maven’s complete lack of resistance brought her lips closer and closer to Maven’s own. Holding her breath, whether in fear or anticipation, not even Maven herself knew… Maven closed her eyes in resignation. *Chuuuu* A delicate kiss was placed on her cheek, opposite to the one Kannon had kissed not long ago. Maven opened her eyes wide in surprise, having fully expected Henna to snatch her lips. “Fufu… No need to look so surprised my dear. I’m not such a brute that I would steal a lady’s lips without her consent. Though, if you were ask me to do so with those adorable teary eyes of yours I would be happy to show you the joys of kissing.” Henna laughed as she climbed off the dazed young woman. It felt a bit surreal to see someone with such a young appearance skillfully toy with an adult like Maven. Dazedly bring her hand to her cheek, Maven could still feel those lips on her skin long after they’d left. A slight warmth radiated from that location and spread throughout her entire body. That warmth blossomed into a spark. That spark fell onto the kindling of her soul and its unrealized potential, roaring to life as Maven’s soul was set ablaze. Maven closed her eyes, basking in the comfortable sensation of release that Henna’s blessing set off. Henna and Kannon, both off to the side, looked on with intense interest at the process Maven was undergoing. Heatless flames of pure white and utter darkness raged around Maven’s body. Second by second, the size of the flame surged higher and higher as the two flames fought each other. Each seeking dominance over the other, the white flame desired to consume the black while the black flames sought to smother the white. Maven could feel the two halves of her soul battling it out and, not wanting to allow her power to run amok, exerted her will to calm the the flames. Eventually, after what felt like hours, Maven could feel the two abilities reach an equilibrium. This equilibrium was reflected on the outside wherever the white flame met the black. At each of these interstitial regions, the two powers blended together. No longer blazing with a pure white light and raging with an all-encompassing black, but an odd dusky grey. The two goddesses' mouths hung open in shock. They expected something interesting to happen, but the last thing they expected was this. Maven had given birth to an entirely new element.

The Tentacle of Fate
The tale of the Human Empire, the Demon Empire, and the Alliance of Beastmen is a tale as old as time itself. It was a tale of war, of love, of hatred -especial of the racial variety- and it was a tale that the races scattered across the globe thought would never end until a single species would reign supreme. Yet at times it seems that truth is stranger than fiction, they never expected the world would be united in the most unexpected of ways...

The Twelfth - End
Mana, Chi, Divine, and Demonic, those four powers, which come from their respective entity, are the basis of all creation.

But unlike popular believe, they aren't "intelligent" beings. They act based on something unknown to us. This very thing which gave birth to their children. If the "Gods" couldn't be considered "intelligent", the same thing couldn't be said for their children. All of them could think and act on their own. And that's what they did. They quickly realized that among all the other creations, they were unique. Their abilities were nothing like the others. Even among them, siblings, some were clearly above the other ones. Thus, some of the weaker ones, feeling upset about their inability to oppose their siblings, decided to flee. Somewhere very far. And they managed to find something they had never seen before.

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
