《The Marked Ones》Chapter 23.1: From Ronan's Research Journal

Day 4/28/861
I really messed up big time.
Yesterday I arrived at Eastfront with Fynn and Yue. Everything was going well. I was finally able to get people willing to sell armor to some teenagers without the need to ask too many questions.
I was able to buy a couple of supplies and materials for myself. It all looked like I should just visit Lithal Cathedral for some stuff I left in the care of a local kid.
In a procession of guilties, there was a girl that kids met in the woods where they came from. Fynn brought out her stubborn side, which was curious, and Yue brought out her more rational side, which was equally if not more impressive.
Actual, the girl was accused of treason, as she helped them not to get caught, so she fell into the hands of the White Flame.
Obviously, Fynn wanted to go rescue her.
Oh boy.
Fortunately, we rescued the girl, although we left a bloodbath along the way. Shit, I left a bloodbath in my path. What the hell was I thinking?
Was it worth it to have rescued innocents from the gallows? I suppose it was. However, I'm sure the Order will be more active in the area with this. I hope the fake message the kids came up with works.
I met again with Asmund; I thought I wouldn't see him for quite a while after running into him at Lastrel. Still, he was captured at Eastfront, and I got him out of his cell in exchange for his help.
I need to sleep; now, I must also come up with a plan to get this girl out of Mizuna, as I doubt she will be welcome in this country once again.
This delays me more.
Yue broke through a wall. How the hell did she do it? I don't know, she said the whispers told her she could do it. Curious.
I need to...
Finally, Ronan's heavy eyelids drop, and some loud snores flood the inner garden of Lithal Cathedral. Eventually, He just wanted a short nap, but he would fall into a deep sleep.

The Calculator - Supervillainess Time Loop
What makes a terrifying villain? Is it ruthlessness? Is it how powerful they are and how many buildings they can down in one blow? Is it how hard they are to kill, contain, or get rid of in any manner? Is it their knowledge of a hero’s true identity in a world where secrets must be kept? Or is it perhaps how they seem to be perfect in all their actions, defeating the hero at every step of the way throughout to the last one, only to humiliate them one last time before declaring themselves the winner in the grand scheme of things? Isabella Blair is perfect. She knows all your moves before you even make them. All your ambushes are faced with traps and she dodges all your blows like it’s child’s play. Catching her is impossible because she’s always ten steps ahead of you. She says she calculated everything, but she messes up in every fight. She loses far more than she wins, sometimes a hundred times for just one small victory. Yet, she is perfect. How is that possible, you may ask. That’s because she has the uncanny ability to return to the past whenever she makes a mistake. All that’s left in the end can only be what’s perfect if all the realities in which you’ve lost are gone, after all. And that makes for one hell of a terrifying profile. Crossposting on ScribbleHub, SpaceBattles, and Wattpad. Don't mind the "Pre-Rewrite" Volume. It is there for reference until the story catches up to the chapter count via the Rewrite (and to justify the current reviews as there would be no context to them otherwise). If you are a first-time reader, feel free to start from the other Volume.

In Pursuit of Glory
I felt a huge physical force slam into my back. I didn't have any time to think as I rocketed into the wall and felt the drywall dent beneath my body. Eyes wide, I groaned and began to push off the wall when, unceasingly relentless, my assailant backstabbed me with a knife to my gut. I gasped; being stabbed there is no laughing matter. Even today, with all the advances of science, a wound like that can easily be mortal. Most likely would be. I gasped for air with a snarl, funneling the wind into my lungs to help them expand after being pancaked into the wall. Nobody f***ing backstabs me and gets away with it. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love being alive. I love it more than anything else. It’s something only a dead person can understand, and I feel myself forgetting all the time. But there’s a secret to death, and I keep it with me. Always. It’s never permanent, it’s never peaceful, and it’s always filled with regrets. But death, despite all of its shortfalls, can give a short respite from life, like a comfy afternoon nap. Death is Respite. It’s a rest for the weary. And to all those people who wander in death lonesome and regretting their broken lives - always, without fail, cut too short - I beg them to take advantage of it. I tell everyone to take advantage of death, even when I can’t bring myself to do so. --- Ciaran travels the world in pursuit of Glories, unfathomable, power-bestowing balls of golden light sequestered in difficult-to-reach places. A fun fantasy romp with a character with an unorthodox narrative voice trying to find his purpose in the world.
