Somehow, Living Life in Another World is Wrong, as I Expected Ch. 10.6

When it comes to dealing with unexpected occurrences, the main problem is dealing with the fallout. Say you get hit by a limo on the way to your first day of school, what happens then? The first, immediate problem is that you’ve been hit by a damn car. Broken bones? Possible. Ludicrous medical bill? Not as bad as you would think, if you lived in Japan.

Social ostracization? Being left out of any and all friend groups? Both are very likely. Still, I suppose I would have ended up in the...

Anomaly Ch. 54

Oftentimes, when Shirou found himself dealing with royalty, it was due to necessity. See, by the nature of a royal lineage being as long lived, it was fairly common for them to have some form of magical energy. It was the reason why the Clock Tower still technically served under the British monarchy, even having sat in a meeting or two with the Lords when discussing particularly dangerous situations that might involve the common populace.

He had, in fact, met the Queen - the British Que...

Chronal Disassociation Ch. 52

They were sent back to London soon after it was clear that Talon had completely vacated the area. ‘They’ meaning everyone, except for Captain Amari. Or rather, Lena should be calling her Mrs. Amari now.

The reason was both sad and understandable. Without her memory, the Overwatch legend couldn’t exactly perform her job, so she was, temporarily, removed from the roster. What’s more, the commanders had pulled some strings and basically put her into witness protection, for fear tha...

Fighting is, as unfortunate as it is, something I’ve had to do quite a bit in this world. Minor scuffles when random would-be muggers? I’d beat the shit out of them to make a point. Knights that don’t know how to take a hint that I don’t want to spar? I’d lose on purpose just to make them disappointed and never approach me ever again.

The latter one worked more times than I could count, with knights that couldn’t figure out why Astrea was being friendly with me. People call ...

Anomaly Ch. 53

A Chinese dao. A Swiss zweihander. A Sumerian axe. An Aztec macuahuitl. Weapons that he had seen from Gilgamesh’s Gate of Babylon all those years ago. Unlike the many, many treasures inside of that Noble Phantasm, these ones were not. They were plain weapons, the only distinguishing feature of all of them being their incredible quality.

Aside from that, nothing united all of them.

Unless you counted Shirou actively preparing to Trace and shoot them the moment he heard the words ...

Chronal Disassociation Ch. 51

After a couple of hours figuring out just what had happened, several more Overwatch personnel were sent to the Polish hospital they were staying in. More or less, they were to provide relief and support to the staff there - and more importantly, security. With the heightened tensions of a terrorist organization in their borders, the Polish government quickly approved of their deployment, if only to ease the public.

Those few hours also meant that all of the news that the media had manag...

Announcement: Delay (Again)

I feel like this is becoming too common...but yeah, this week's chapter will be delayed, and will be released alongside the other chapter next week. However, the reason for doing so is a bit different than normal. See, I've recently graduated, but have still been unable to find a job. Current job market isn't easy, as most people can tell you.

I'll be real, this is making me stressed as all hell. As in, I am growing white hairs kind of stressed. I know people say not to stress all too m...

There are many types of magic in this world. Fire, water, earth, wind, yin and yang. Four main elemental magics, and two extras. Add on some more Spirit-based magic, and you now have the makings of a basic, easy to digest isekai fantasy system.

Of course, because this was the case, there would always be ‘forbidden’ magics.

In normal isekai stories, these types would fall into the hands of the protagonist, who would go on to not realize the sheer power that they held in their h...

Anomaly Ch. 52

The wind on the highway smelled like dust and iron. Wagons groaned, leather creaked, and somewhere behind him Helena’s wings rasped as she settled again on a cart’s rail. He kept the Imperial writ tucked where his hand could find it without looking. The parchment felt heavier than it should - part authority, part leash. He signed as Chulainn. That was the name the Empire needed to hear, and that was the name on the seal he carried now.

Shirou had no doubt that the Emperor knew it wa...

Somehow, Living Life in Another World is Wrong, as I Expected Ch. 10.3

It’s a miracle that I still remember all of these tropes when I haven’t so much as seen a light novel in years. Maybe they’re just burned in. Maybe they’re muscle memory for the brain. Or maybe I’ve been living in one long enough that even if I wake up with gray hair and a mortgage, I’ll still know how the beats land.

Here’s the thing: teaming up with a previous antagonist is cheap - until it isn’t. It’s a coupon you pull out when the story needs a twist, and it’s a ...

Chronal Disassociation Ch. 50

“How’s her condition?” Archer spoke as he entered the hospital room. Lena was sitting down on one of the chairs beside the hospital bed where Captain Amari was laying in. It was her turn to watch over her, as they had taken to doing shifts.

They were in a hospital in Poland, though Lena didn’t know exactly where. After the skirmish they were in, they quickly transported the injured to the closest hospital, and Angela had basically assumed the role of head doctor in order to faci...

Anomaly Ch. 51

The chamberlain didn’t posture or preach; he slid three sealed rolls across a scarred desk and spoke like a man paying a bill, “Go before dawn. Don’t draw eyes.” The halls still pulsed with the Emperor’s order, with Zorzal’s swallowed outrage, and with the heavy silence that follows both. Decrees move like stone; gossip moves like water. The city hadn’t heard yet, and that gap - the space between a command and the streets that must live with it - was exactly where people get tra...

Announcement: Delay

Can't write for long cause it hurts my head right now. Essentially, haven't finished the chapter due to high blood pressure over the week. Nothing about stress, just hereditary. Will try to post two chapters next week, or three after if this continues next week. Thank you for understanding.

Chronal Disassociation Ch. 49

The more they ran, the more that Lena could spot Omnic bodies lying motionless on the ground. Some had holes in their torsos, others lacked torsos to begin with. All of them bore the mark of Archer shooting them down, one way or the other.

Despite it all, Lena and Sombra continued to run - more like hobble - their way across the field with their patient. Distant gunshots continued to pepper along the way, thankfully not where they were going. The sooner that they could make it to Angela...

‘The hero arriving late’ is a trope as old as time. Often, this depicts the heroes as still having human flaws, in that the trials that they rushed through were just so great that even the hero struggled with it. Often, this ends up with the hero seeing what they wanted to save being burned to the ground.

That doesn’t make for good stories in the long run, however.

If you always put your hero through tragedy after tragedy without a source of catharsis, it would make even the...

Anomaly Ch. 50

What did it mean to be a hero?

Ever since that night, when Shirou spoke with Kiritsugu, he had thought that an Ally of Justice was equivalent to being a hero. Or rather, that being an Ally of Justice automatically made one a hero. That all one had to do was to uphold the very values that a hero embodies - that is to say, to help those who needed helping.

Childish? Perhaps. Naive? Almost certainly. Yet, for Shirou, that simplicity was its strength. A visceral, core truth that had b...

Chronal Disassociation Ch. 48

The first thing that Lena did as she heard the gunshot was force the person next to her to the ground. The second was to whip around her head to find where the shot had impacted. Conventional wisdom would say to find where the shooter was, and finding out where the bullet, or whatever it might have been, ended up was the first step for that.

The third thing to do should have been to get a rough estimation of the angle of attack, even as she was ushering the panicked crowd to cover. ...
