"Ooooow, that hurt you know!, You should at least make your reunion worthwhile Kumi"
I'm pretty sure animated smoke was hissing out of my head at this moment, Kumi really deals a fatal dropkick but on a more serious note, she could've at least had an actual conversation with Leoth before she dumped him into the LUCID POD.
Her earlier rage face was replaced with a look of pure worry, she did a conplete 180 in a split-second, her usual straight hair looked like it was bedridden for months, I guess she didn't pull any stops on that promise not even a break.
She's been like this since we were kids, I was still bestfriends with Leoth back then, we did everything together and every childish crap that earned us scars and bruises were still considered worthwhile.
Leoth's been whining about how I get so many fangirls in school yearly and why isn't he getting any, what he doesn't know is that he's had secret admirers for every school, some of his kouhais he helped out somehow developed feelings for him, especially Kumi.
she first met him, when their dads decided to have a reunion with a little goal motives for their offsprings, Leoth's dad and sir Araki, went to catch up in the mancave while I for one was just visiting my bestfriend for some fun.
I could overhear sir Araki whispering to Kumi back then to make good friends, before he went along with his reunion, she had a very bad impression on me at the very beginning.
She had this scary glare, and stone-like expression adapted from Moyai, her outfit was an all-dark gothic lolita kinda look, you'd see from some anime and she always had this weird pimped-out doll with blings
The first thing I could say about her was

"... She's scary" I tried to whisper to Leoth,
Alas, she heard me, digust and all, at first she kinda teared-up a little then clenched her fist.
She made this stance where her left foot was behind the other, her arms were spead diagonally even, her left foot then took a solid step.
My entire body shuddered as it knew this might not end well, with her left foot in place , she quickly rocketed off the concrete and the air spiraled around her, her body pivoted in a split-second which landed a spinning back-kick on my forehead, causing me to fly back a few meters
I was nearly blacking out when I heard Leoth compliment on her awesome blow to my pride, he also mentioned she was the first to reject a peacock prince like me.
"Hey, what's your name by the way?"
Leoth asked shyly as I was still sprawled on the floor, Kumi fidgeted a little before answering.
"Oh-Ummm, My name's Kumi, E-etto, will you be my first friend?"
I could hear his shocked gasp, well that makes both of us, his feet shuffled alon thw floor kinda loudly.
"S-sure. I'm Leoth by the way, Would you like to see my Poster collection?"
Ooooh, the poster collection, huh?, so ot means he had that kind of thing.
And here I am lying on the floor miserably, because of a martial artist gothic lolita.
This doesn't feel or sound healthy, well at least for me, but I can't let my bestfriend down.
I'm gonna have to suck it up so, please dear lord harden my heart for the suffering that is yet to come, I your name I won't read low class smut novels ever again,
Amen.

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!

Bleached Nightmare
500 years into the future, technological progress has stagnated. Wracked by a series of problems like climate change, lack of resources and the innate human lust for war, the geopolitical landscape of planet Earth is radically different, and quality of life is far from what it was in the past. While technical development and research into realistically feasible space travel has made leaps and bounds, this has come at the cost of a world that is reeling from centuries of technical stagnation in other aspects of life. The establishment of a mining colony on Mars has led to the discovery of a new, rare material called sarinium; though it is extremely tensile and durable, it has a very low melting point. The discovery of this metal leads to large mechanical infantry- dubbed 'Spirit Striders', they are six to ten meters tall and as famed for the pride they provide a nation as they are a lethally mobile heavy weapons platform. The story follows the character of Marilin, who must both figure the enigma that is her past, and what this means for her allegiances in the future. Despite her genetically physical frailty, she seeks to gain power through a vessel that will channel her wish to change the world- the Spirit Strider. --- I hope you all enjoy my work. This is a story that I began writing over four years ago in my beginning years of high school, and have cast aside unfinished in the past two years. Though it is not up to my current standards, I hope you all may find some enjoyment in it. Happy reading.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
