《The Dark Star Emperors》Chapter 83: Thought
Advertisement
Yune came back home to seeing Jack just lying on the couch reading one of Mary's manga.
"Hey, Yune. You're back," Jack said as she got herself up.
Yune noticed that Mary wasn't there and asked, "Where's Mary?"
As soon as she finished answering that question, Mary came up from behind holding a box of pizza.
"Hi. Didn't know if you were gonna come back, so I went ahead and brought some food. I heard pizza is pretty good," Mary said.
Yune didn't realize that Mary had been following her, and she still didn't think any different. She was preoccupied with thoughts about what she should do.
Mary had no plans of telling Jack what she saw. Instead, she told later Jack not to worry about it. She had other plans that she didn't want interrupted.
But now, she had to try out this food that she picked up. Mary had no idea how pizza tasted like, but heard it was pretty good from the other students' descriptions. It was just a regular cheese pizza.
The three sat down and each took a slice.
Jack went right into it even though it was still hot.
Mary looked at it strangely and was analyzing it not knowing what it was.
Yune saw Mary do this and said without any emotion, "Don't play with your food."
Mary had never had this kind of food before, but after seeing how Jack ate it, she decided to try it. Then again, Mary thought, since Jack couldn't feel anything, maybe she couldn't taste anything, either. Then, she did take a small bite and her eyes lit up like a star. She felt like her mind flung up at the moon and back again. It was the most exhilarating thrill she's ever experienced. The oil seeped through her teeth and mouth. The delectable cheese that could fill the stomachs of a fully grown man. Then, she started to quickly chow down every bite. Her new favorite food. Cheese pizza.

Yune stared her food blankly. She stood up without taking a bite.
"I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed," Yune said, "Put away the leftovers in the fridge."
Jack was about to open her mouth to ask what was wrong, but Mary tapped her and shook her head to not bother her. Mary knew that Yune regained her memories from watching her. Although, she didn't quite know what Yune experienced, she was sure that she needed time to sort through them.
Mary finished her slice of pizza quickly and then grabbed Yune's slice and began to eat that.
Yune sat on her bed and looked around. It was like living at her original home. But she couldn't see this place as home. Yune put the black coin that dropped from Schmetter and placed it on her small table next to her. Although, she barely knew Schmetter or the Light Guardian she was before, Yune felt like she owed her something for pushing Yune to find Eli.
She decided to sleep and go through her newfound memories slowly. To her, she experienced them all at once like a bolt of lightning. Now, she just needed time and a good rest.

End's End
Crow Tempora is an optimistic country bumpkin who knows very little of life in the heart of the world's cities, however behind his easy smile is a stony determination to achieve his goal of accomplishing the impossible- one that he can only reach by winning the Sieve, the largest competition of young Mystics the world has ever seen. Famous across the entire world and loved almost as widely, Gemini Menza has never known a single day of anonymity in her short life. Like most magical prodigies she has spent her years on guard against powerful Immortals attempting to use her as a tool, unlike most she is uniquely gifted and burdened with the position of being the single most magically prodigious individual of her generation- perhaps throughout all of history. Entering the Sieve not to work for victory, but to collect it as a boring chore, she soon finds herself shocked by the difficulty of her tasks, both inside the contest and out. After all, she was also given the privilege of joining at a younger age than anyone else. Machiavellian manipulator Unity Eden is growing tired of the tasks forced onto him by those who control him, unfortunately he also happens to be controlled by the leaders of the largest empire the world has ever seen. While he has little hope of wriggling his way out of it, he intends to make his entry into the Sieve as damaging to them as he can. While most are fixated on the events of the Sieve's stages, intently watching the young and talented as they go head to head to find out who holds the title of strongest, Karma Alabaster has her eyes on the powers behind the curtains- the endless machinations of the Immortals and their servants. Caught between enough crisscrossing schemes to form a spiderweb, she must use every ounce of her not inconsiderable mind to keep herself from playing into another's hands... all while solving a mysterious and seemingly impossible murder. The winds of change are blowing in Bermuda, and only one person will shape them. Cover art by: Nova @no_no_nova on tiktok @no_no_no_nova on ig THREE NEW CHAPTERS POSTED EVERY SINGLE WEEK.

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero.
