《Grasping》Chapter 35: Procrastination
Advertisement
Magnus found himself back in his domain. Dice ran over to him and started shooting her barrage of questions.
" Lord Magnus! What happened? Did you find a suitable world? Was it interesting? Did you visit mom-"
Magnus turned to look at Dice in a daze.
" When did you start calling Nuwa, mom?! Why am I still Lord Magnus?"
Dice realised that her question was deflected and pouted.
" Not telling until you bring me to the new world!"
Magnus sighed and got up from the floor. The girl bothering him looked at Magnus curiously.
" Why are you on the floor anyway, my Lord?"
Magnus walked over to the sofa and sat down. He then searched his domain for any specks of that being's energy. Finding none, he sighed in relief.
" I accidentally stumbled upon another being's world and it kicked me out."
Dice's expression turned serious when she heard this.
" He managed to kick you out of a dimension despite your space concept? Was he really that powerful? Are we in trouble?"
Studying his soul for any damage, Magnus realised that the being did not mean harm. It simply did not like that he was trespassing. Finding his soul in perfect condition, Magnus answered Dice.
" The being was honestly not very powerful. But it was or is?... very experienced."
" Will it retaliate?"" I believe that it will not, it simply did not like me."
Dice let out a sigh of relief and sat down next to Magnus.
" Will you be going out again?"
" You are all questions today, aren't you?"
Dice stared at Magnus indignantly and pouted again. This caused her lord to laugh.
" No, no, I will not be going out to find new dimensions yet. This encounter made me realise that if I could eat lower dimensions, there must be other beings that can do the same. I would be highly unlikely that I would ever meet one but it is still possible."

" So, what will we do? I don't want to cultivate for all eternity..."
" Hmm... I just have to put my hopes in that..."
" In what?"
Magnus scratched his chin and stared blankly at the wall. Dice noticed this and started slapping Magnus softly.
" Come on, tell me!"
" My concept of grasping is tier 7. It has a distinct difference from anything below it. The rest of my tier 5 abilities and concepts seem to have a limit of sorts. Whereas the tier 7 ability does anything it is supposed to do as long as it is something that I can imagine happening. So-"
Dice narrowed her eyes at this statement and frowned.
" I want to visit Rory tomorrow. You are not worming your way out of that."
Magnus simply sighed, Dice had seen through him before he could even form his excuses to procrastinate.

Binary Soul
So let's say there's this girl. A young girl who happens to be a highly-trained, psionically-gifted, nanite-infused, genetically-enhanced and emotionally unstable assassin that doesn't know the concept of 'mercy' or 'holding back.' Let's say she and her imaginary friend miraculously pass through the borders of reality into an alternate universe, crash landing into a world of swords and magic aboard a starship full of high-tech wonders. Now, let's also say the first person this borderline psychopath meets happens to be her doppelganger - a highly gifted mage who happens to have a few problems of her own, like a bad temper or a bad habit of chronic self-delusion. With me so far? Good. Now, what's the on the agenda for these two different people who happen to be the same person? Settle down, start a family and thoroughly enjoy life. Maybe get married and have some kids. How about befriending a violent alcoholic or defeating an ancient evil being? Perhaps kill a few dragons and wreck a city along the way. Anything can happen around the city of Runetap, after all. It's a place where bizarre and strange things occur on an almost weekly basis. The people living there have long abandoned silly things like common sense or minding the details. A giant flaming UFO streaks above the city in broad daylight? That's just another Tuesday. The City Guard even had the form for that, so believe me when I say this. It's your loss if you mind it. This is the light-hearted and fluffy tale of Ellie and Kira as they forge their own path of absurdity and crazyness across a world that often makes little sense. Loosely inspired by the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett, even though the author hasn't actually read any of them. Contains yuri, mature themes and the author's personal views on several subjects. Explicit content is kept to a minimum.Does NOT contain slavery, rape, drugs or any other similarly heavy themes.

Shizuka
A/N: I'm actually writing two stories at once, this and another story on ScribbleHub. I have decided to put Shizuka on hiatus due to some RL issues but my story on ScribbleHub will continue since I'm co-writing it with a friend which is easier. Please do check it out on ScribbleHub. Series name is Walking in Shadows. Four Heroes were summoned from earth to combat an evil threat in Evarenan but there was a fifth person, Hirano Shizuka. She was never meant to be summoned. It was purely coincidental and unintentional. The God who acted as the intermediatery for the summon, has shunned her. Fated to live a harsh life in a foreign world. Abaddon, a Goddess, the Empress of Night, took pity upon Shizuka. Fascinated by the strength of her will and soul, and fond of her humble and accepting character, the Goddess offered Shizuka to be her Champion which Shizuka accepted. A month passed after the arrival of the Heroes and a plus one at Evarenan, the real trials and nightmares of this world had only just begun for our offworlders, especially Shizuka. AN: Shizuka is the sequel to Overture of an Odyssey, which takes place after the events of the latter.
