Changed Fate(2) Gray clouds drifted overhead, their shadows sweeping across the open space where barbarians gathered to discuss all manner of topics. Other races usually designate indoor spaces as communal areas for the sake of formality and security, but the barbarians considered that inefficient. What was the point of gathering indoors and sitting on chairs … Read more
Changed Fate(1) I tend to imagine things often. Most of the time, I picture the worst-case scenarios, but that doesn’t mean I never think about ordinary possibilities too. Take this moment, for instance. “……Ugh, uh…….” The man was writhing on the floor as though he was having a seizure. Seeing him like that got me … Read more
Clown 5 He asked if I had suddenly become curious about him. When I nodded without a moment’s hesitation, he was the one who got flustered. I couldn’t understand his reaction at all. ‘Why would I ask if I wasn’t curious?’ Why would I waste my time on something that didn’t interest me? I didn’t … Read more
Clown 4 When Lion first appeared at the Round Table, Abet Necrapeto was utterly shocked. [Your mother recommended this place to me.

His innate craving for attention was the reason he had dared to stand fearlessly at the forefront during the invasion of District 9. However, he had no intention of repeating that mistake. He was somewhat confident in close … Read more

There’s a certain truth to it. When people are desperate, they pour out everything they have. And even … Read more
Traitor 5 Ricardo Lühensprache. . Unfortunately, my conversation with him ended quickly. […Don’t expect a clean death.] After one final insult, he stopped responding altogether. I briefly wondered if he was ignoring me to avoid feeding my trolling, but that did not seem to be the case. It’s more reasonable to assume he smashed his … Read more
Traitor (4) Inspiration: a sudden, ingenious idea or stimulation that becomes the catalyst for creative work. “A good idea…? What is it?” Raven asked uneasily, and I responded with a wide grin on my face. Just as a philosopher once cried “Eureka!” After stepping into the bath, I too was struck by a sudden burst … Read more
