"Pfft, Y/n, you made those two delinquents run for their lives!" Grim laughed while eating his grilled Chicken. Everyone in the cafeteria was shocked by Y/n's song, but resumed their business, pretending as if nothing happened.
"What happened to 'no more incidents'?" asked Yuuna as Ace just let out an annoyed sigh. "Can we just eat our lunch already? I missed breakfast, so I'm starving"
"Go ahead, Ace. Feel free to eat stuff from my bento if your still hungry" Y/n offered, completely unfazed about how much pain she caused the delinquents. For to be fair, they were going to be beheaded sooner or later by Riddle.
Deuce let out a sigh, "I can't believe this...Textbook bullies at an academy that's supposed to be famous for producing exceptional mages..."
"Aw, get over it already, Y/n already dealt with them...It's time to chow like the wind!" Grim took a bite of his food. "This omelet is as fluffy as a cloud, and practically burstin' with cheese!" he continued to eat.
"Hmm. We saw your guys' dorm, along with being part of Amaryliss, what are the other ones like?" Yuuna asked, genuinely curious.
"Well, I'm sure you're familiar with the statues of the Great Seven, and eight since that ice statue is here as a new one. Night Raven College has a dorm themed after each one" Cater suddenly explains, appearing over Deuce's shoulder
"You're the one who tricked us into painting those dumb roses!" Grim explained as Y/n just looked offended. "You should appreciate the beauty of flowers. After all, it's part of the decrees of the queen of hearts that roses must be red doing that unbirthday party" Y/n poked Grim on his side multiple times and fast speed, making the raccoon cat groan in pain.
"Saying I 'tricked' you is such an ugly way to say it. Do you think I wanted to spend MY morning painting roses red? As Yn said, I was just following orders" Cater puts his hands up in defense.
"And grinning like a fiend all the while" Deuce commented.
"Now, now, Deucey, Outside of the dorm, I don't care about what rules you follow. Here, I'm just a friendly senior!" "Please, do NOT call me Deucey" Deuce ordered, not happy about his nickname.
"Well, I think it's a cute nickname for you, Deuce" Yuuna smiled, trying to brighten the mood. "...I-if you say so.." the boy murmured while trying to surpass a blush.
"Ahaha, that's just how Cater shows that he cares" a new boy commented, chuckling for a bit. "And who are you?" Ace asked.
"Ah, I should introduce myself. The name's Trey. Trey Clover. I'm a third-year in Heartslabyul, like Cater here." Trey says, then turning to Y/n who was sitting next to Yuuna with Grim on her lap. Y/n was still poking him.
"And you must be the new Housewarden from the new dormitory, Amaryllis. I like to thank you for looking out for our boys yesterday" Trey bowed in a polite manner to Y/n, who only hummed in acknowledgment.

"I don't recall inviting you to sit with us..." Ace mumbled, grabbing a piece of his food into his mouth.
"Hey no, we're all from the same dorm, right? Let's try to get along. Here, let's exchange our numbers. I already got Y/n's" Cater asked, waving his phone in the air.
"You also have Magicam, Y/n?" Ace, Deuce, and Y/n asked in unison as Y/n nodded.
"Of course! Y/n is quite famous on the internet" Cater exclaimed, showing a few pictures from Y/n account. He then pointed to one of Y/n's selfies, making a peace sign as her classmates, suffer in P.E. Yuuna chuckled at the image, since Y/n was wearing sunglasses, making a funny expression.
Ace, Deuce, and Grim were not amused.
"I see. But I'm afraid I don't have a smartphone just yet.." Yuuna says. "For real?! I've read about Luddites like you, but I never imagined I'd meet one in the wild! I know a place that sells the latest models cheap, How about you and I go on a little shopping date?" Cater ask, making a playful smirk when Yuuna started to blush.
"O-oi!" Ace yelled, clearly jealous.
Trey chuckled as he sat next to Cater on his own seat. "Now, now, Cater, you're breaking out the freshmen. Maybe take it down a notch?"
"ha! Sorry about that, I can get a little extra sometimes. Let's see, we were talking about the dorms, right? We'll tell you anything you want to know!" Cater says.
"Before you get into the other dorms, I wouldn't mind learning a bit more about ours. Like, what's the deal with all these 'Decrees of the queen of hearts, article something, something, junk?" Ace asked, clearly not happy about the rules.
"I'm sure you're familiar with the stories of the Queen of hearts already?" She had to rule over a kingdom of madness, and did by emphasizing order and making strict rules." Trey continued.
"Our dorm, Heartslabyul, is an homage to her. By tradition, we wear armbands with the red and black of the queen's dress. And we live by the rules she created." Cater explains, adding more information about the Queen.
"Wow...that sounds really cool" Yuuna mumbled, as Ace, Grim, and even the frost queen, Y/n, looked at the girl like she was crazy
"What?" she tilted her head in confusion. "Nothing, don't worry about it" Y/n patted her shoulder.
"Pfft. Can you make me any more bored?" Grim scoffed.
"Now, the decree to which we adhere to the rules depends on the sitting housewarden. Past wardens have been much more lax though.."
Trey let out a sigh, "Riddle doesn't mess around. Basically, you could say that we're honoring that tradition to the utmost extent as possible."
"bleah...Just my luck." Ace groaned in annoyance, tugging on his collar.
"What are the other dorms like, Trey?" Yuuna asked, curious to no more. Grim seemed to be also curious about it.
"As Cater mentioned earlier, the dorms of this school are themed after the Great Seven, plus the new addition. We have our dorm, Heartslybul, based on the queen of heart's severity,

Savanaclaw dorm, based on the king of beast's Fortitude,
Octavinelle dorm, based on the benevolence of the Sea witch,
Scarabia dorm, based on the deliberation of the Sorcerer of sand,
Pomefiore dorm, based on the Beautiful queen's determination,
Ignihyde dorm, based on the King of the underworld's diligence,
Then there is Diasomnia dorm, based on the witch of thorn's nobility,
And lastly, the new addition, Amaryllis dorm, based on the ice queen's serenity" Trey explained.
"Wow, that's a lot to take in.." Yuuna mumbled, sweatdropping a bit.
"All of those names are way too long! How's anyone supposed to remember 'em?" Grim made it quite obvious that he didn't like how long and hard it to pronounce the dorms were.
"I'm sure you have the idea," Y/n says, rubbing Yuuna's back in a comforting way.
"Hahaha, even if you want to or not, you'll learn them soon enough" Cater laughed.
"At orientation, the dark mirror picks a dorm for you based on the essence of your being. As a result, each dorm ends up with a distinct sort of...flavor, we'll call it." Trey says, continuing his explanation.
"That is sooo true." Cater says, "I totes see it"
" 'flavor,' huh..?" asked Deuce.
Trey would look around to face a familiar Savanaclaw student, who was happily eating his big burger. "In Savanaclaw, there is a lot of guys who're good at sports and martial arts. Take that student with the wolf ears" Trey pointed out.
"Waah..he's got dog ears!" Yuuna exclaimed excitedly, catching the attention of that student who looked towards Yuuna's direction.
Yuuna widen her eyes a bit but then waved towards the student with a smile, who blushed and looked away, "He's soo cute.." she mumbled.
"It seems that dormitory has a lot of macho dudes" Y/n commented.
"haha, something along those lines. They have their black and gold armbands as a dead giveaway" Cater added.
"what about that guy with the grey and lavender arm thingy?" asked Grim, pointing his paw towards them.
"He's from Octvinelle." said Y/n, taking a glance at the famous Octvinelle trio, Azul, and the Leech twins.
"Mhm. They're an intellectual bunch known for their excellent test performance. They also have a cafe that is run by the students" Trey says, then looks towards a table near them.
"Students with the dark red and yellow armbands are from Scarabia. Most in their dorm are skilled at predicting things from Astrology" Trey says.
'Astro...logy? Reminds me of aunty Zadkiel...she is known as the cosmic archon...'
"Much like Octavinelle, their academic success is fantastic" Trey added and points to a table full of pretty and beautiful students.
"Over there, Pomefiore, the sparkling students. They have royal purple and red armbands."
"Wha...there's a cute girl over there" Grim explained.
"What? At a boy's school?" questioned Deuce.
"Idiots! This is a all-boys school. The only girls are Yuuna and Y/n remember?" scoffed Ace, as Y/n facepalmed.
"Haha, Pomefiore dorm are students who excel at both magic potions and curses. Driven by the beautiful queen's style, they're vigilant when it comes to manners and looking sophisticated." Cater explains. "Their housewarden is quite famous! With 5 million followers on Magicam" he adds
"Haha, times that with 5 and you'll get Y/n's amount of followers on hers, which just keep growing," Trey says, making the group shocked, except for Y/n who is just calmly eating her food.
"Then there's Ignihyde...but I don't see anything from that dorm anywhere." Trey mentions, "They have a blue and black armband. Their grasp on digital and technology powered by magical energy is powerful. But they've got a lot of guys in their dorm that cannot handle talking face-to-face"
"Yea, they are completely different from Heartslybul." Cater says.
"So...they're all dull?" Grim asked as Y/n smacks the side of his head.
"Don't be rude Grim" she scolded the raccoon, making Grim grumble a bit.
"Haha.." Yuuna chuckled nervously.
"Hmm, then there's uh..." Deuce took a bite of his food with a fork, "Diahonyia dorm...or whatever, right?"
Ace chuckled while eating a piece of his bread. "It's Diasomnia, Deuce" Y/n corrected.
"Haha, and you said it with a straight face as well" Ace chuckles after swallowing.
"Diasomina is...over there in the back," Trey says, pointing to a table filled with students with light green and black armbands.
"Diasomnia's full of guys that excel in magic in general. They're basically campus celebrities, like Y/n here. The vibe they give off makes it real hard for us regular students to even approach them. Their housewarden is that times a thousand" Cater says, petting Y/n between her horns as she sips her tea with her eyes closed. She looked elegant.
"Huh?" Ace seemed to notice a student, who was a bit shorter than the rest, happily sipping his tea while chatting with his fellow dorm mates. "There's a kid over there."
"That's no kid..." Deuce widen his eyes a bit. "We're in the same class," he says, taking a sip of his latte. "Indeed. He isn't necessarily a child, but it is understandable because he's so short" Y/n says.
"huh?! Which would mean..." Ace starts off.
"I'm a third year." a voice says from above them with a poof, scaring the shit out of Ace that he almost choked when swallowing and Deuce who accidentally spit out his drink.
Yuuna also flinched in surprise, as Y/n opened her left eye. "Oh. Hello Lilla" "Hey, Lilla!" Y/n and Cater greeted.
"That guy just teleproted!" Grim screamed a bit, also startled.
"Well, now." Lilla starts off, floating right-side up again, and into the space between Deuce and Ace, with his hands under his chin.
"Curious about my age now are we? Fufufu" Lilla smirked at the group

Oxymoronic/Desktop/Babel_Maze
[19:27] Oxymoronic: Ever heard of escape room games? [19:30] Oxymoronic: You know, those places where you pay a hundred bucks to get locked in a room with impossible puzzles. Impossible for you, that is. Your smartass friend inevitably figures them out in seconds while you're sitting there dumbfounded, wondering where your money went. [19:31] Oxymoronic: Or maybe you are that smartass friend. [19:33] Oxymoronic: Well, I played an escape room game that even all the smartasses in the world couldn't have figured out. [19:35] Oxymoronic: I could have written a novel about what we have come to call the Babel Maze. But frankly, I'm not much of a writer. I'd much rather prefer to let the forum archives speak on their own. [19:36] Oxymoronic: Might take a few months to upload all this. Lots of clutter, lots of spam. Cleaning all this is going to be a nightmare. [19:38] Oxymoronic: That's just what internet janitors like me do.

8 1016Founding of Humanity - Animalist
This is the dawn of the age of mankind. It is time to push back the wilderness and establish the kingdoms and empires that will govern this land. Players, the elect of the gods, are now coming to help humanity fight back. The dark ages are ended, and now is the time to lay the foundation! Now is the time to establish civilization! This is the Founding of Humanity! I am building this world for my own amusement, releases are not on any kind of schedule. I got to thinking "what if a beast tamer was changed by what they tamed" and this game mechanic sprung to mind. I do not know where this story is going. The main character is becoming a skill hoarder, as that is an advantage of the class design. The game system in this story is insipred by Log Horizon and Sword Art Online, where you get a skill and that is the skill, instead of getting a skill and then leveling it through tiers and rankings.
