"What's up my joyous little christmas tree."
"What about me screams christmas tree." Izuku said sardonicly,"what about anyone screams christmas tree."
"You have green hair." They said matter of factly.
"Har har very funny." Izuku retorted "I didn't think demons liked Christmas anyways?"
"FAKE NEWS!" The demon sung, waving a hand in front of Izukus, "I love-e-e Christmas!"
"And that makes all other demons like Christmas, does it?" Izuku challenged.
"Pffff of course it does, everyone listens to me. The ruler of the demon world favours me, I'll have you know." The demon said with great self importance, "he's helping to train me and a few others."
"I know, I've heard." Izuku rolled his eyes, he'd already been reminded three times this week about how godly Zenon was. Izuku just though he was a pain in the ass.
"Seriously though Zuku what's up I could feel your stagnant, bitter, hurt all the way from my house and I don't even live in your world!"
"It's fine, don't you worry your pretty little head about it." Izuku said ruffling Zenons hair.
"HEY! You asshole, your messing up my hair!"
Izuku shrugged.
"You've got a stone-cold heart Izuku." Zenon stated.
Izuku shrugged again.
"Rrrrhhhh!" Zenon gripped his hair and pulled, "You are the most aggravating person In the wo-o-orld." He gritted, whining at the end.
"That sounds like a YOU problem." Izuku said getting up.
He walked to the rusty ladder that was attatched to the side of the building. He bent down, grabbed the bar, and swung his body around until he was facing the ladder. Once secure he quickly decended finishing his routine by jumping after he'd reached the second floor.

Zenon followed diving from the top of the building and landing like a marvel character, fist facing the ground with his body crouched.
"Wicked! Did you see that Izuku! Did you! I looked like I was from an action movie! Come on you saw that how tell me how smooth that was!"
But Izuku ,who was clearly tired of this loud-mouth showoff, was already turning the bend at the end of the road, sighing heavily. Zenon really was hard work; especially for an hard-core introvert like himself.
Izuku who continued walking said, "Hey Zen, when do you think you'll be heading home? I need sleep."
Zenon who was now right next to him replied casually, "yeah I'll go as soon as I've walked you home, I only came to check make sure you were doing alright anyways."
"Thank you."
Silence.
Zenon spun around grabbing Izukus shoulder. Izuku froze. Until zenon started prodding and picking at him, where Izuku relaxed. Zenon continued, ignoring the eye daggers Izuku was throwing. He was squinting his eyes and putting his finger on his chin, inspecting Izuku.
"No doctor, he looks healthy all be those eye bags that are crawling down his face. It must just be the sleepiness that has brought about this terrifying personality transplant. My little lime actually saying something genuine, I'm gonna have to document this moment."
Izuku rolled his eyes. He felt better now, again thanking Zenon, all be it inside his head, he wouldn't openly thank the idiot, it would go to his head. It was already inflated enough
Still though he was grateful Zenon being able to lift the mood which was turning quite depressing quite quickly.
"Seriously though Izu, we are always here. I'm always here."
They walked back in a comfortable silence, Zen randomly pulling faces at the few cars that drove past.

Izuku had learned ,when he was old enough, that 'his' demons (he didn't care for the word because those demons where his friends, and they each had their own personality and to some degree life) could show themselves to anyone they pleased. With an exception that when most demons used their power they could be seen. This may be because of the nature of the quirk, their power level or judt inept.
However, demons hadn't started showing themselves until Izuku was old enough to understand the consequences of his quirk. His quirk was too powerful and if others found out it could spell disaster.
Izuku was also able to talk with demons through his mind. Luckily for him, he had an on, off switch so he wasn't being harassed by Zenon or anyone else. For emergencies only, this on, off switch could be breached.
And for one lucky demon that switch never turned off.
Izukus demons were family they knew just about everything with him as he knew about them, save maybe a few secrets here and there. Oh and of course when he makes a new contract. His longest standing contract and the one he didn't have to make, was his contract with Lucifer the new ruler of hell. It had been made the day Lucifer had first spoken to Izuku and a unbreakable bond had been made.
Izuku didn't regularly see Luci but he knew he would always be there. Lucifer wasn't much older than Izuku himself, which had surprises Izuku more than the fact that, he wasn't afraid of a demon. Lucifer was (in human years) about 3 years older than Izuku and they were like brothers. They'd grown up together and were both tied together.
"Izuku!" Zenon cried.
"Jeez no need to shout." Izuku said rubbing his ears.
"Finally." Zenon sighed, "We made it to your apartment about 10 minutes ago. I just wanted to let you know I'm off now. I'll see you in a but K."
"Seriously! Okay see ya then."
Izuku slumped up to his apartment, his eyes barely open. It was dark inside the apartment like usual. Either Inko was sleeping, working, or out. Izuki didn't care. He slugged along the floor his body drooping. Opened his bedroom door and flopped on the bed. Night world, he though and he was fast asleep.

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.

Journey West 5000

Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.

Magus Gravity
This is about a person who is summoned to a world to be a hero and save the human race from the demons, clich stuff, he will then make decisions that affect all of those around him(I think this is original). Also, he will not get all the """"females"""" out there in the other world and make a big harem that symbolizes how woman are treated as objects. Remember that this story is something I would like to read, and frankly most of the royal road stories are too damn lusty and filled with porn. But there will be some romance here and there since people get married and I need to talk about that too, so that is classed as romance right?
