《Series of One-Shots That Might Become Their Own Series.》Miraculous Toys!
Advertisement
It was the year 2050 when Dr. Miraculous’s first commercial hit the world and the start of the Miraculous Toys. On screens across the world aimed at children aged 14 and younger, a strange funny-looking man appeared. Dressed in a white lab coat, a rainbow afro, and elephant pajamas, he smiled and waved at those watching the commercial.
“Hey there kids! I’m Dr. Miraculous and I'm here to make children all over the world happy! With my Miraculous Toys, there will be no child that will be left unhappy anywhere! Now let me show you what I got!” Dr. Miraculous seemingly disappeared before reappearing in a second with a large red sack.
As he slowly and dramatically loosened the knot on the sack, music began to start up. An upbeat, cheery type of song that rose the anticipation of all the children watching the commercial.
“These are just the first batch of Miraculous Toys that children everywhere will be able to enjoy.” He sang. “We have...” The music began to pick up.
By now, the anticipation from the children watching has reached its peak and they were shaking in their seats waiting to see what kind of toys he would bring out. Not to forget, to try and sing along to the song that was about to happen for sure. Even some of the older children and adults were quite interested in this eccentric man. The 5 seconds needed to skip the ad was already up and if they wanted to, they could skip it, but something about this man caught their attention. Perhaps it was how funny he looked or the weird way he disappeared on screen before. Maybe they could make a meme out of this commercial.
Dr. Miraculous’s red sack exploded in a bright light as several toys seemingly jumped out of it. The scene changed from Dr. Miraculous in front of a white background to a gigantic fuzzy toy monster smiling while waving at the screen with its ridiculously long limbs then to a large pink spider-like creature with bendy and elastic arms and a cute motherly face. As Dr. Miraculous introduced these toys, he sang along at a fast speed, quickly introducing the toys and also their uniqueness to the children watching.
Some of the toys seemed alive like the spider lady and tall fuzzy monster, Dr. Miraculous called this the Friend Batch. While others seemed to make fun of the laws of physics and science as if they didn’t exist at all. Dr. Miraculous classified these toys as part of the Science Batch. A portal-maker, a miniature black hole, a miniaturized sun, and an anti-gravity generator that let Dr. Miraculous float around the screen like he was in zero gravity. Then came the Normal Batch where there were normal toys cranked up to the eleven. A toy car that could outspeed a race car driven by a professional racer, a robotic dog that acted no different from a real-life dog with varying sizes from great dane to chihuahua, to super soakers that were capable of putting out burning buildings.

All of these were introduced within seconds of each other somehow rhyming along with matching perfectly to the beat and music of the song. It didn’t take long for children across the world to violently harass their parents to buy them Miraculous Toys. Of course, not before listening to Dr. Miraculous’s song more than a couple of hundred times on repeat. If that didn’t drive the parents crazy, the badgering afterward to get even one of those toys surely did.
The older children and young adults were also interested. Most were interested in how much meme value the commercial held while a few were genuinely interested in purchasing one of those toys for themselves. Some declared Dr. Miraculous as the newest rap god, others wondered how much went into the productions for special effects on most of the toys shown, and a few even called Dr. Miraculous a terrible scammer that preyed on the innocence of children to fill his pockets. No one but the young children actually believed the toys seen in the commercial were real or at least were accurate to how they were advertised. Everyone by now was used to companies producing amazing commercials only for the real thing to fall short by more than half of what was advertised.
After the commercial first went live, there wasn’t a single response from Miraculous Toys. However, orders on top of orders came for his toys on the website. Trucks across the world began delivering Miraculous Toys in droves. Once the first Miraculous Toy arrived at the home of a young boy, that was the start of a new era some might say. The young child named Timmy, excitedly bounced up and down as his father brought in the gigantic box from the delivery driver.
“It came! It finally came!” Timmy could barely control himself from ripping into the cardboard box to reach his toy just a second sooner.
“Now calm down there. I’ll get it open in just a sec.” David smiled as he used a box cutter to open it.
Father and son were rendered speechless but this didn’t stop little Timmy from rushing forward and grabbing his toy hammer inspired by his favorite Norse deity. With seemingly no effort at all, he lifted the hammer as endless power flowed into his body. Divine energy surged throughout his small mortal body, lightning sparking around him. Lightning bolts seemingly filled his eyeballs as he looked toward his father with ecstatic excitement.

“I am a god!!!!” Timmy screamed.
Energy blasted from his body, completely destroying the house around them. Surprisingly enough, David was unharmed, although a little ruffled and shell-shocked. With a quick glance around themselves, Timmy had enough nerve to look guilty for destroying the house.
“Timmothy Sanders! You are grounded!!!” David shouted.
The grounding of Timmothy Sanders went better than expected. He went in time out for ten minutes while clutching his divine hammer with a pitiful look on his face. David nearly scratched his head bald trying to figure out a way to get their house back. Putting Timmy to work wouldn’t work even if he suddenly gained the powers of a god. Godly powers or not, a child still couldn’t work in this country legally. David knew for damn sure the insurance company wasn’t going to pay for this even if he showed them proof of his son’s new capabilities.
“Looks like I'm going to have to get in touch with the government...” David sighed.
Knowing his son, he definitely isn’t going to stay out of trouble with the freaking powers of a god in him. He’s got his heart dead set on becoming a superhero. Now that he got his chance, it would destroy him if David didn’t let him. How upsetting...
When David first came to Earth, he certainly didn’t expect something like this would happen and potentially put his life at risk. Now he has to risk his true race being exposed by getting in touch with the government. David reasoned it would be better for Timmy to work with the law enforcement or government in apprehending criminals to soothe Timmy’s heroic heart. Of course, he wouldn’t let those humans turn his halfing into a weapon. His late wife taught him better than that.
“Come here, son.” David brought Timmy out of time out.
“I’m sorry for blowing up the house, Dad... I didn’t mean too...” Timmy apologized.
“I know and it’s okay, I forgive you. You still want to be a superhero, don’t you?” David already knew the answer.
“Yes! But I know superheroes can’t blow up houses and I'll promise to never blow up a house again!” He quickly begged.
“Hmm...” David looked at his son skeptically. “What else wouldn’t a superhero do?”
“They don’t do crimes! They don’t hurt innocent people! Uhm! They save people and be nice to everyone! They don’t bully others and always share!” Timmy quickly listed off, fear of his father potentially telling him he can’t be a hero.
“Are you going to do any of those things?” David asked.
“I promise to be the goodest and best superhero ever! Please let me be a superhero. Please please please.” He clutched his legs in a tight grip.
“Alright, Timmothy. But if I find out, you’ve been a bad superhero I'm taking your hammer away, got it?” David told him.
“Mhmm! Mhmm!” Timmy rapidly nodded.
“Alright, follow me. Daddy has to make a call.”
...
“Sir, we don’t have time for games. We are busy enough as it is with all these prank calls about toys and whatnot today.” A tired police officer lazily spoke to David.
“Timmy, summon lightning with your hammer.” David told his son.
Timmy was more than happy to oblige, lighting generated around his hammer as wind picked up in the police station, fluttering paperwork and blowing the clothes of several officers. He stopped before his excitement got to him as he saw the scared looked of the police officers around him. Some at their hands on their guns. This is where David stepped in.
“Calm yourselves. My son has expressed his desire to become a superhero and help people. I brought him here in hopes that you would allow him to fulfill his dream of making the world a better place by helping people. Of course, there’s more I'd like to talk about in specifics of that but we can discuss that when the time comes.” David explained.
“I see. Come on in the back. We’ll talk there.” Chief-of-Police, Steven Myers calmed the shivers in his soul as the brought the father-son duo in.

The Morgulon
Greg never really wanted to become a werewolf hunter. He just wanted to prove to his father that he could do the job his family was famous for, maybe earn some money while he’s at it. He certainly never wanted to become a werewolf, or run away from home, or fight the inquisition. Unfortunately, as his brothers would say, fate has a shitty sense of humour. Updates on Mondays. "I feel like this story perfectly represents how you can't judge a book by its cover (or, in this case, concept). Edgy badboy werewolf teen romance? Yeet that concept out the window and get ready for an action-packed fantasy with an incredibly built world and logical, realistic characters." "This is a great story, probably better than any werewolf novel I've read. It's certainly not a typical werewolf story (but don't let that stop you from reading it, the werewolves are still amazing.)" "A werewolf story where people aren't constantly meeting gruesome ends that still maintains a gritty atmosphere. Realistic worldbuilding and character design make this a must read!" - RR reviews The first chapter is also on DeviantArt, more may follow.

The Adventurer's Guild(master)
In a world of adventure, magic, and kingdoms, only one man can keep it all from falling apart. As much as he wished that wasn't the case. This is the story of the man who became the guild master of the most prestigious adventurer's guild in the kingdom, and then came to completely regret that decision, as he is forced to keep the peace, file paperwork, and babysit adventurers. The life of a guild master is not as great as it once seemed. Note: The prologue is an extended -probably should have not took it that far- joke and is completely skippable from the rest of the series. This is my first work on this website, or on any website to be honest, so criticism is more than welcome. Feel free to leave comments on any chapter, not just the latest one.

Raven: The Beginning
'What's the worst that could happen'? is what I thought to myself as I entered the World of the Veil with a new, experimental machine that the company created. I was originally excited to participate in their alpha test, and now, looking back, I was just a naive little girl that didn't know what it was like to truly suffer. Sarah was one of the world's best assassin players, but she wasn't prepared for getting stuck as a low-level player in a new game. Suddenly she has to struggle just to survive against the monsters of the world, while also keeping her secret from the authorities. What happens when the killing, and the consequences, are just too real? Author's Note (and a Warning): This book is about a normal person that is forced into a fantasy / medieval environment. What could possibly go wrong with our heroine? This novel is a sort of, legacy. I wanted to at least put it out there before I passed away due to a combination of financial difficulty, homelessness, job loss, and my last interview taking up the last of my savings (which I did not get the job). If by some miracle, and I get a job that can give me a pay advance by next week (4/8) and I survive this turbulent time, I will edit this - and the formating of the book). If you are so willing, please donate on my patreon page. Regards, Dave

Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash
