"Insert spell C into slot J? But slot J already was filled?"
"You must have done it wrong. Here, give me that."
"No! Look, see, it's here, page 18, 'insert bracket V into slot J'. I know what I'm doing!"
"Then the spell must go over the bracket."
"I don't think so..."
"Careful, you'll break it!"
"Well, how else am I supposed to insert the spell?"
"Not like that! Here, let me--"
"No! I can do this myself. Shoo."
"Are you sure that's the right spell? This one looks more the right shape."
"It says C, right on it. See? C! Right here."
"Okay, okay, I get it, carry on."
"Thank you."
"..."
"Don't say a word."
"I wasn't going to."
"Who made this junk anyway?"
"I'm sure spell C wasn't important. Try this one."
"... Fine, give it here."
"See? Snaps right in. I think they were just mislabeled."
"Now, insert spell D into hinge H. Do you have spell D?"
"Uhh, I think it rolled over under the sofa. Hang on... yup, here it is."
"Thanks. Into the hinge you go..."
"Woah."
"Guess that does it. Looks like spell C was an extra piece anyway."
"It looks like a painting made of jello. Can I--"
"No! Don't poke it, we haven't run through the safety protocols yet!"
"But it looks like it'll jiggle. I want to see if it'll jiggle."
"You are not prodding my brand new, untested, extradimensional portal, just to see if it jiggles like jello!"
"Come on... what could it hurt?"
"Did you entirely skip the warning pages? What if you end up stuck in the body of a fish or something!"

"Cool!"
"No, not 'cool', and-- hey! I said no touchy!"
"Pleaaaase?"
"We are going to follow the directions and run the safety test first. Can you at least restrain your curiosity for ten minutes?"
"You said the wardrobe assembly would take an hour. It's been three days."
"This time will be quicker. It's only two pages, see?"
"Hmmm, looks like step 3 is 'wait for 1000 hours to ensure the connection is stable.'"
"Give me that!"
"You mean you didn't memorize it already?"
"Shush, you. Huh. Yeah, it says a thousand hours. Forget that."
"I thought you wanted to do everything by the book?"
"If it wouldn't take forever. Come on, let's see if this thing jiggles."
"And you won't mind if we end up as fish?"
"Keyword here: 'we'."
"Aw, so you do care."
"Shush. Let's go be fish in a fantasy world."
"I thought you'd never ask."

Breakers
My name is Joo In-gong. The name that my parents gave me meant ‘protagonist’ of the world. As anyone can predict, I was constantly teased due to my name. In kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school. If I went to university as planned then I would probably be laughed at there as well. So, at one point, I really hated my name. But not anymore. Now, I think slightly differently. Maybe being named Joo In-gong was a type of foreshadowing?

Silverscale Paradise (A Yandere Harem Adventure)
Warning: This story contains R18 content and depicts sexual acts. Hey there, Mark Gregory here! This is the story of how I got sucked into the world of a trashy Harem manga that only lasted 12 chapters. I read it while I was high the night before and only vaguely remember anything about it....so yeah. No foresight. Also, it appears I am a brokenly powerful character, possibly the secret end boss, that was hiding in plain sight the whole time. - That is to say, the "Quiet Prince" student in their class. My new name is Zeneff Silverscale...can you guess what I am? If you guessed overpowered godlike dragon, then you are correct! The problem is...I don't want to be evil...and I don't know enough about the story to follow along...so what do I do? The Answer: Whatever the Fuck I want. I will also be posting this story on Scribble Hub
