*BOOMM!*
The first plane collided with the Kanami corporation building, causing a gigantic explosion. People on the street started running desperately from the place. A few seconds after the first collision, the second plane was also about to collide. People on the highest floors tried to get down as fast as possible, but… it was too late.
*BOOMM!*
The collision shook the building's structures, but it wasn't enough to bring it down, yet…
The flames took over the higher floors at too fast a pace. The people who were there… couldn't get out. Those on the lower floors ran out of the building.
On the highest floors…
"Help us!!"
"Help us please!!"
Cries of despair echoed through the place. Fire alarms were activated, but they were not enough. The elevators stopped working and the stairs also had parts destroyed. When people saw that there was no way out, they ended up in a state of total panic. Some took out their cell phones, thinking of sending a message to their loved ones, as this may be the last day of their lives.
*BOOM!*
-
"YATO, REVERSE IT!" Sakura panicked. This situation was completely unexpected. This company belongs to her family, your family could be inside.
'Onee-Chan!!'
She was even more desperate to think about the possibility that her sister was in that place.
"YATO!!" Sakura yelled for Yato again when she saw that he hadn't responded.
"..." Yato showed a carefree smile.
"If you don't want to help me, I'll do it myself!!" She didn't care if the world knew about her powers as long as she could save her family.
*bang!*
A part of the building was starting to collapse. Sakura was about to act, but…
Sakura looked around with a confused expression. The people who had been screaming before were silent. The sounds of fire and falling debris also stopped permeating through the room. Everything stopped. That was…

Temporal manipulation.
"I will only give you one chance, you better not waste it."
"Huh?!" Sakura could only show an expression of doubt before her vision went dark.
-
*bell!*
"Students, we are finishing our class." The teacher warned. There were only 5 minutes left for the class to end.
…
"What's going on?! Did I go back in time?!" Sakura looked around with a confused expression.
"Yato?!"
"Don't scream. People will think you're crazy." Yato was right, The students were looking at Sakura with strange expressions.
"Miss Sakura, is something wrong?" the teacher asked.
"I need to go to the bathroom." Sakura grabbed her bag and ran out of the room.
"How long do I have to stop this?"
"10 minutes. In 10 minutes the plane will crash into that building."
"Well, I will stop it!" Sakura tried to remember which direction the plane was coming from.
'I'll stop him before that.'
Upon leaving the school, Sakura fired at supersonic speed in a certain direction. Like Keiichi, she also spent the entire week doing daily missions and training. Her movement speed increased a lot and she could reach sonic speeds.
-
"Here is a good point." Sakura climbed a tall building and began to watch the sky. A few minutes later, the first plane appeared. The second plane also appeared, but it was coming from a different direction.
"Yato… do those planes have passengers?" If those planes had passengers on board, she wouldn't know what to do.
"Yes, 400 passengers in total. 8 of them are terrorists."
"..."
Sakura had thought about destroying the planes before they crashed into the company, however... Now she was hesitant to do so.
"Think Sakura, think!" Sakura hit her head with an anguished expression. She was thinking of a way to stop that plane, save the passengers, and not be discovered.

5 minutes left.
"I already know!" Sakura opened the store and bought an invisibility ring.
"Now…" She looked at the lake that was a few miles away.
-
Inside the first plane, 3 masked men pointed guns at passengers. They were terrorists.
'Those shitty Itianos, you will soon know hell.' One of the men thought.
"How long until we reach the intended location?"
"2 minutes…"
"Well, we're almost there-"
*BAM!*
"What was this?"
"Looks like turbulence. Check the cockpit."
"Understood."
"What the hell is happening?" The man entered the cockpit and asked one of his companions. The plane was being flown by one of the terrorists, the former pilot... was already dead.
"I… can't fly the plane."
"What the hell are you talking about? This is no time for jokes"
"...The plane doesn't change direction. Something seems to be pulling it."
…
"What?!"
-
It wasn't just the first plane that was in trouble, the second was too. The reason…
"That's it! See my splendor!" In the sky, Sakura was flying, with a smile on her face. The feeling of flying was fantastic. The sky, the clouds, everything was so beautiful.
'Concentrate, Sakura.' She said to herself.
Sakura was using the wind element to change the plane's direction. The other plane was a little way off, so she had to expand the range of her magic.
"Come on down!" When the plane was near the lake, she tried to land.
...
*BOOMM!*
The two planes landed in the water. The impact was minimized by Sakura because she didn't want to end up hurting the innocent.
"Shit, what the hell happened?"
Inside the planes, not only were the terrorists confused, but the passengers were also unable to understand what happened.
"The plan failed! The plan failed!" A man from Airplane #2 sent a voice broadcast to the men on Airplane #1.
"Fuck! Just blow it all up!" They took dozens of explosives out of the bag. They weren't afraid to die. Their lives were already doomed by the time they accepted this mission.
"Detonate-"
*Bam!*
Before triggering the explosives, the man received a blow to the neck and passed out. The other terrorists were also knocked out.
'This illusion skill is quite useful.' Sakura thought. She had placed an illusion on the passengers, preventing them from seeing what was happening. After knocking out the terrorists from the first plane, she moved to the second. When she finished knocking out all the terrorists, she decided to leave.
-
"Ufa!" Sakura sighed in relief as she realized that everything had turned out well.
【Mission: prevent the planes from colliding with the Kanami corporation building】
【Mission accomplished; Reward: 2300 points.】
"Heh?! When did I get this mission?" She did not remember receiving any notifications.
"It was after I used time reversal. You were so preoccupied with other things you didn't even notice." Yato replied.
"Well… let me see my stitches"
"Current Points: 3000"
"Wasn't I supposed to have more than that?" Sakura showed an expression of doubt. She had accumulated 1750 points in daily quests. 750 was spent on the invisibility ring. She hadn't purchased any training cards, so her current point count should be higher.
"300 points were used when you asked me to reverse that situation."
"... You are so heartless..."
"Heh…" Yato just smiled. "I'm more generous than you think."
"Doesn't look like it. Well, let's go home." Sakura could see vehicles arriving at the scene.
"Okay, heroine Sakura."
"Shut up, Baka!..."

8 80School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.
8 105Path of the Stonebreaker
Femira spent her life stealing scraps and looting corpses just to survive another day. When she stumbles upon the chance to steal another's identity, she thinks she's found the ticket to an easy life. But she soon finds the glamour of the runewielder's hall hides as much peril as the bloodslick streets. Can she steal the greatest prize of all, the knowledge to reshape the earth, and make it out alive? Abandoned by his abusive father at the far reaches of the world, Daegan may not have the powers of his ancestors but he refuses to die in banishment. Will he make it back home in time to prevent a brewing war? ------------------- This is a gritty drama-driven, rambling tale that presents mysteries early on that the characters work to unravel throughout the story. It swings between action, drama, and sometimes some darker comedy. Warning: A whole lot of profanity, alcohol, drugs, implied violence, actual violence and mega-violence—the kind that involves knives sliding into eye sockets and brains spilling onto floors—the usual stuff, scenes of intimacy, mercenaries, pirates, lots of moral ambiguity, including a wizard that likes to make tea with the heat sucked from his victim's bodies and a heap of world-ending monsters ready to eat people. _______________ Expectations: Updates every Monday and Thursday. Chapters will be between 2,000 and 5,000 words. I'm Irish and write in "Irish English" which is to say that I don't use much of the letter "z"

8 160A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
8 189Someone Like Adam
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart?...#1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019)#1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)
