Hearing Joy’s story made me grateful for my life. Mona was obsessed but not to this degree. I look at him again. He is sitting beside me, swaying his legs back and forth.The high rise building is a nice place to brood over things. But it’s getting late so I should go home. Maybe I can ask Mona about Joy too.“How about you come with me? My wife is a creator as well. Maybe she can help you.” “Thank you for your offer. Then I will be intruding upon you.” (Joy)I teleport us back to my home. “Welcome home.” (Ariel)“I’m back, Ariel. I have a guest with me.” Joy nods his head.She didn’t seem all that surprised so I guess everyone was anticipating it.We all gather in the living room. Joy is next to me at the table while everyone is across us.Mona looks a bit surprised upon seeing Joy.“Everyone, this is Joy. More specifically, a fragment of the creator known as Joy.”“Greetings everyone. In no circumstances I would have liked to meet you like this but the situation is grim. So I apo

Joy continued his story. It’s intriguing and he is skipping a lot of finer details but I am listening to him without questioning him. I can ask my questions later.“The story of Jake should have ended. He died. When a human dies, their story comes to a close. Jake should not be an exception to this rule.However, his story continued. He had accepted his death and passed on peacefully. He did not believe in any religion but believed in a higher power. His soul departed from his body and made its way in another world. He was reborn as a human child in a different world. To be honest, every soul was recycled. Their memories were wiped before the next birth.Jake was reborn and he should have been a new person. Alas! It did not come to pass.From his early childhood, he kept having visions of his previous life. They were not clear but they were a hindrance.His weird behavior isolated him from his society. His new world was a technologically backwards world. It was a regression for Jake

My monologue was over. I got up and was about to leave when I saw a person. He seems to be lost as he kept circling around the park.I have seen him do 8 rounds and I think I should ask if he is okay.“Excuse me, do you need any help?”I ask him while approaching him. He looks at me. His face has a blank expression. His eyes are that of a dead fish. His whole being is giving off dead energy.“Thank you for the offer but I am not lost. I simply do not have a destination. I kept walking around because I was brooding.”His answer is acceptable if I judge him to be an eccentric. “If you want to brood, I have a good place in mind.”“Really? I would love to brood over there if possible. Walking around a neighborhood park is tiring and questionable.” He gets that he was being suspicious. I take out my phone and call Ariel.Well, Ariel is the first entry in my contact list so I called her. I told her to relay the message that I would be late.“Then shall we?” “Yes.” I grab his shoulder an

I am currently sitting on a bench in a park. It was closer to the house than I had thought. They finally allowed me to go outside but it came at a price.The price I paid was my virginity. Honestly these two days have been hectic. Tsubasa came back and everyone told me their desires. I had no right to deny anything either.They worked me to the bone these two days. I was working nonstop. So, they told me to take a break and go outside for a change of pace.It’s fun, being outside after so long. When I was in my original body, I had never thought of the pleasures of the flesh. I had no drive back then.This body however is a complete male body. I had urges which I could suppress but presented with a huge meal, I couldn’t refuse. I didn’t want to refuse either.The girls have all made some sacrifices to be with me. Despite all the insensitive, horrible things I have done, they stayed with me.I have to honor their resolution by fulfilling their wishes.I wonder what they are doing now.

A week has passed. I am in a better condition than before. Currently Ariel is feeding me. The cycle continues. I have recovered enough to walk but they still won’t let me do anything. It’s honestly troubling me. “What are you thinking?” (Ariel)“How long will you all look after me like this? It’s a bit embarrassing.” “No, you still can’t do any work. Your body needs to recover completely. We will not allow you to strain yourself.” (Ariel)Like that, I am always shot down. Everyone has said no to me. I have already accepted this. Besides, I would rather not get into any arguments with them.I honestly don’t have the right to do that. Like that, Ariel went to the kitchen once I was done eating.I never eat the same dish again in a while. All of them have a huge cooking repertoire. Even Shizuka has started cooking. She went to get some tips from her mother and came back with a full blown recipe book.The current members of this household are, me, Mona, Ariel, Shizuka, Ratri and Anais.

“Our original plan…”, Ratri said before Serus opened his eyes, “was to die together. We would build a raft, get on it and steer it down the river with a bomb attached to it. It would detonate once we reached a fairly desolate spot.” “Who made that plan?” (Ariel)“Serus did. He was very keen on having a water burial. I just followed suit. It would have counted as double suicide.” (Mona)“In the end, that didn’t happen and if things had run its course, Serus alone would have died.” (Mona)Everyone sighed as Serus finally opened his eyes. It took him a long time to open his eyes. “Can you hear me?” (Mona)“I think his mind is still foggy.” (Ariel)“Maybe he lost his memories?” (Anais)“No, I think his brain got damaged partway through.” (Shizuka)They all lean over him and stare intensely. Serus looks at them. He breathes normally but he is looking around.“Did we mess up somehow?” (Ratri)But Serus is moving his lips. No words are coming out though.Mona leaned over even more to hear

I, Delphine McNair, am currently walking through the enemy territory. Something like this normally impossible but my mother has brought me here along with my maid Sasha.It's evening so not a lot of people are out. My mother did cast perception blocking magic on us. They can't see us anyway."Mother, where are we going?""To see the person who was rude enough to abduct you in your sleep." She apathetically says. But I think she is somewhat angry. And after walking for a while, we stop in front of a house. It's a normal stone house. Mother knocks on the door and a woman opens the door. She has blonde hair and a beautiful face. She looks around my mother's age."Yes, how may I help you?" She asks us. But what will mother say to her? Before my mother says something, a man comes and stands behind the blonde woman."Fiona, I will take it from here." He says and the woman goes inside."I didn't think you would come here, demon king. So, why did you come here?" He asks me. He knows who

I have this inexplicable feeling that's been sticking to my mind. When did it start? I think it started a couple days ago. When I woke up in the morning, I had traces of mana on me. It was unfamiliar and strong. The mana disappeared soon after but what could have happened during the night? I asked my maid and other guards who were on night duty but nothing of note happened according to them. They didn't notice anything. Who should I ask then? I have a meeting after this. I prepare myself. Being an heir to the throne sure is tiring. My father who was the king has died and I am the only heir. I can't even abdicate the throne. However I am just 15 years old. How could I rule a country which is currently at war with a human country? I know that a lot of factions have come together to overthrow me and usurp the throne. But as the current ruler of this nation, it is my duty to protect it from harm. "Are you listening to me, my lady?"My maid shakes me. I come back to my senses. Well, I

This time, our protagonist has encountered the king and the god who vowed his revenge against Clive. But being the cheat Clive is, he breezed through them. More like, the king probably has PTSD of what Clive did to him. Even Apollo, the ever so proud son of the god king, has fallen into depression. Because, he was knocked out in one punch. What Clive did was truly mean and unbelievable! No one would even believe it if they hadn't witnessed it firsthand. Trevor was starting to get used to Clive. Gwen did put in some good words for Clive. Clive will now take a short break. He has to unwind as well. But the power balance has already been destroyed."What should we do now?" (Louis)General Louis asks the king who is sitting on his chair like a fool. He is flabbergasted. In a really bad way. Gwen and Trevor are standing beside him. General Louis looks at Gwen. "He was quite friendly with you, wasn't he?" (Louis)"General, I can sense doubt in your question. Do not worry. I won't do any

The farce which I went along with for some reason has ended. I gut punched the guy who slashed at me suddenly. General Louis called him Apollo. Well, if he is a god, it must be related to Jupiter. That doesn't matter. I told the king my current address and I was leaving.But I thought, I should leave through the front door. Might as well, leave like I have triumphed. "Clive, what are you doing here?" I was called from behind by a familiar voice. I turn around and confirm that it is indeed Fiona. "Well, the king kinda arrested me, tied me to a cross and tried to burn me but after surviving, I put him in his place." She sighs. Is she not surprised? I was expecting her to be surprised a bit. "Just don't go overboard. No matter what he did, he is still the king of this kingdom and a normal human being. Go easy on him. A lot." (Fiona)"Yeah. I felt that I should go easy. Fay said that he is 70. Is he that old?" "Yes. But he has access to best medications and healthcare. He probably d

Burning me on a cross was a failure. They were so shocked that they even stopped moving. When someone managed to move, I just had to run my mouth and shut them up again. The king, his soldiers and general Louis are all still like statues. I look at Gwen."This is why I hate slow people." "What can they do? Not many are actually as adaptive as you." (Gwen)"You are one to talk! You were probably the only one who understood me. That's why you were never afraid of me even after all of that."I remember the times I spent in school. Gwen was always with me. And I knew that she was crazy. So I acted crazy and we got along well. Trevor probably sees her as a perfect older sister. To me, she is just a normal girl with a few screw loose. Even now, Trevor is trying his best to grasp the meaning of out conversation. I look at the living statues. They are still statues. Fine, I hate waiting.I dispell their confusion by using mana to give suggestions to them. It's easy. I made their brains thi

I was taken away by a weird guy. I look at him. He is nothing more than a scrawny old man. But his attire is telling me otherwise. And he has at least 50 soldiers surrounding us. He is dragging me by the handcuffs. And I am in the center of a circle formed by his armored men. People are staring at me. Some are even giving me weird looks. I don't mind the looks. I think I should talk. "Uhhh….can I have your name?" He ignores me. But he increases his walking speed. I do the same and ask the same question again. "You should give yours first." "I think you know my name. How did you arrest me without knowing my name?" "Cheeky. I am Count Louis Vindolf, a general serving this kingdom." (Loius) "I see. Nice to meet you, General Vindolf. I am Clive Belmont, a visitor from another world. You must know where I come from." "Yes. I know. But it surprises me, you are nothing like your fellow people described you to be." (Louis) "Looks can be deceiving, general. You should kno

*Sigh*Our main character sighs. It was a sigh of regret. Because he is getting divorced soon. He is standing outside his in-law’s house.“What did I ever do to deserve this?” He asks himself because this divorce hit him quite hard. He was not expecting a divorce all of a sudden.But he presses the doorbell. A woman in her late 50’s opens the door.“Hello, mother.” He can only greet her with a regretful smile. She also has a painful look on her face. No one was expecting this. He followed her inside to the drawing room where everyone was present.He sees his father in law and sister in law with his soon to be divorced wife. He is a man in his mid 30’s and an Associate Professor of English at a public university. By no means he is a bad person. On the contrary people have a good impression of him.His wife is also a beautiful woman. She has a job and is independent. They did not fight often and were on good terms.They were married for 6 years and were pretty happy. However this all

I am currently with Constant. We are headed for the human world.“I say the human world but it was actually created by one of the humans. There exists a plenty of human worlds. This is just one of them.” (Constant)He said that and now we are walking through a portal he created.The portal left us at a field. It’s a normal field. “This is a world that was created by one of my friends. This is also my first time coming here. Let’s find a city or town.” (Constant)We both start walking. The area is nice. It’s sunny but not hot. The wind is gently blowing caressing my whole body. Somehow, I get the feeling that I know this sensation.After walking for about 15 minutes, we arrive at a small town. It looks like a medieval town. Stone houses and stone paved roads. It has proper water drainage system and the town’s folk look clean. “The town is called Solomon. It is named after a wise king. Today is supposed to be a festival. But what, I don’t know.” (Constant)So a festival. The town is k

After he got ready, we left that place. I don’t know where that is but we left it anyway. He tapped on a portion of the wall and it opened revealing a spiral portal.“Off we go.” He said and jumped into it. I also did. Portals like this are basically connected to a random place. I don’t know where I would end up at.After coming out, I see a residential area, I think. Concrete road, houses on each sides and a pond. Seriously, a pond. This is the first time, I am seeing an open pond.I find Constant sitting on a bench by the pond. The pond is kinda green. And it’s dirty.“See, this is the area I spent my childhood in.” (Constant)“Hoohhh…then you grew up here?”“Yes. It holds a special meaning to me. Behind us is a library. It doesn’t look like it though.” (Constant)He points at a pink building. It has something written on it but I can’t read that. I sit by him. Despite being dirty, this pond is kinda calming.“You see, to our left is my school.” (Constant)He pointed to our left and

After a good night’s sleep, I woke up. I don’t even know if a night has actually passed or not but I woke up exactly when my body usually tells me to. I will assume a night has passed. Constant, my so called creator, is sleeping on his bunk. I get out of bed and look for the kitchen. But wait, this is just a white room. Does this even have a kitchen?But my question was answered. A portion opened up and I could see a kitchen like space. It has everything a normal household kitchen has.Maybe it has everything necessary and for the ingredients, I open the fridge and find everything. It has different types of meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, all sorts of condiments and what not. Hell, even deserts were there. The fridge definitely uses spatial manipulation to store more things. I take out some eggs and bacon. I open the down drawer and find rice. Let’s have it for lunch. But now I need bread. I open the big metal door which was beside the fridge and see stairs.It leads

A few days have passed since all of those. I am back at my own house in the world I was born in. Mizuki, Mary, Selena and Nino live with me.Life has been well. I feel that my journey is over. But a sense of discomfort still lingers. Why do I feel so unsatisfied? I can’t describe this feeling. But something is amiss.Is it over? My story was such a short one. I can’t even believe it myself. The discomfort in me grows. All of them are out shopping. I am currently house-sitting. I am bored. Maybe that’s why I felt like that? I close my eyes and kinda doze of.◇◇◇◇◇“Wake up, Akatsuki.” I hear a voice. A man’s voice but it’s similar to mine. I open my eyes to find myself. Eh!! I am looking at myself.“Don’t make such a stupid face. I am not you.” The mysterious guy who looks like me says. But if he isn’t me then who is he?“This is the first time I am meeting you. You can call me whatever you want. Father, brother, god, author…anything you want. Because I am all of them.” What is th

Currently I am at my house. Mary and Mizuki have been summoned to this world as heroes. Selena came as Selene’s priestess. The Valkyries have become their guides and Medea is responsible for all of this.However, staying there was kind of uncomfortable so I teleported all of us to my house. My house is not big enough to house everyone so I expanded it with spatial magic.We are all sitting on sofas with me in the center. Mizuki and Mary are quite at me. Selene was talking to me and she sounded angry as well. Midway through, she changed with Selena. Medea is tittering and I am very tired.“Do tell me Akatsuki, what have you been doing these 5000 years?” (Selene)“It’s confusing if you keep changing with Selena. But mostly sleeping I guess. I went on a short trip after my deal was over and then came here, dug a hole and fell asleep. I woke up a few days ago when they found this place.”I point at the Valkyries. They became stiff. “So, you have been sleeping for 5000 years. Sounds total
