《The Software Detective》3. Why is everyone so calm?
Advertisement
As I went through the aisles, I grew more suspicious of the customers. Was I the only one concerned with the upcoming monster fight in the parking lot. I walked past mother's shopping and having unrelated hippo conversations with their children. There were teenagers in the candy aisle; debating if Hershey bars were better than Three Musketeers. But I was convinced they like Mars Bars more because they were out of this world if they weren't thinking of ways to avoid those hippos.
Suddenly I heard a scream front of the store "Oh my god!" Rushing to the front of the store I saw a lady with her hands on her head looking out the window, Finally someone that can feel the murderous presence in the presence in the parking lot.
"You see them too, the hippos, right!" I said. Point directly at the two purple beasts bumping heads.
"What? Oh those, yeah, who cares. My trunk is open! I have to check if anyone took my stuff!" The lady said, abandoning her cart and running into ground zero. I reached out to stop her, trying to prevent a casualty. But I was too slow, as she was already out the door. Now I was sure something was off. If everyone could see them, why did no one care?

Millennial Mage (A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy)
The world is wild, untamed. Humanity thrives, but only in isolated, well defended cities, ever shrinking as the wilds slowly reclaim all that was taken. The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia. Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own. Her unorthodox methods for preserving her own life allow her to take greater risks in search of profit and advancement, much to the surprise of those around her.

Cornerman (Naruto)
A melting icecap, a bubbling spring or the soft autumn rain; small trickling streams that, over many years, grow into mighty rivers. Within every man lies the call to power - it is as much a part of him as his very own blood. The foolish drink from that vital liquid, but the wise know that strength is not worth seeking. Instead, they desire that which lies beyond it. They follow the mighty river to its source. Eyes wide, they spot the glistening icecap. Ears open, they listen for the bubbling spring. Nose twitching, they smell the scent of the autumn rain. They find those small, trickling streams. They are led to the source from which strength flows.
