I woke up early than usual and reminded myself it's Christmas today and I could not feel any zeal of it, I never did. Christmas was meant to be a festival but for us it was different, every year it is used an event to promote sinful mafia businesses and that meant trouble every Christmas. And this year, I was the victim who has to undergo the wrath of fate or I should call wrath of my father. He  has always been selfish and I could not expect anymore from him. 
I brushed my teeth,took a long, hot shower and put my orange jumpsuit with stripes on.
I decided to leave my hair open and headed towards dining hall where everybody were having their breakfast. I thought I was early today but never mind!
I wished Merry Christmas to all and everyone wished me back expect Mr Costello. He doesn't have manners I guess.  my mother said, 

"Good morning, sweet heart.You are up early, today."

"Oh! but I think I'm the last person to reach here."

I stated and Franco's mother smiled and said, 

"Don't worry you are not late,we just gathered here come and serve yourself, El."

She is so sweet to believe that she is actually the wife of one of the most cold hearted men I know. Franco's nature must be inherited by her. 
I smiled and took my seat to breakfast. 
I served myself a toast, a pancake and a freshly brewed coffee. My father was reading newspaper and Franco's father was busy taking information about functioning of his business in his absence. Everyone was quiet,just Neel asking silly questions from Franco about his cars and all. 
After breakfast everyone left for their respective works. I did not wanted to go to my room and feel caged so I decided to walk around in our garden.Franco saw me,not going in the direction of room and came to me to ask, 

"Are you going somewhere?"

"Just to check out the new blossoms in the garden."

I replied. 

"Can I join you?"

He asked. 

"Why not? let's go."

The weather was perfect to have a walk. Franco walked with me and we noticed some fresh roses and Lilies growing.I showed to Franco the small purple iris plants which planted last year and they were starting to bloom. We also had daffodil,dahlia,etc. I told him about some rare flowers like Anguloa Uniflora, Floxglove,craddle orchids and few other of plants and he tried to grasp the information and said, 

"Wow you know so much about gardening."

"I have always loved plants,many of them I planted myself from my childhood till now. I love to have varieties of them in my garden and during spring this once looked like heaven."

I said,imagining the fragrance and view of this place during spring.

"The weather is good today, it's snowing now.Do you want to take a drive to enjoy the the great Christmas day?"

Franco asked. Yes I wanted to go with him but what if I was needed in the house and my father would be angry if he found me missing. 

"Yeah I want to but I don't think we can go now as my mother would be needing for the preparation of eve."

I felt bad,rejecting when he actually asked for the first time. 

"Never mind,we can go some other time."

said Franco. 

We went back inside and headed toward our respective rooms. The party will start at six in the evening and it was just eleven now. I was bored just roaming around in my room and regretted,not going with Franco. I decided to take a nap and it took me half an hour of struggling to finally fall asleep.
I was awaken by the knock on the door I noticed time,it was already two, I thought everyone must have had their lunch by this time,who could it be.I got up from the bed sleepily and reached the door rubbing my eyes,slightly shocked by discovering Franco on door he smiled and asked, 

"Did I disturb your sleep?"

"No,not a problem. Do you need something?"

I asked.

"No, you were just missing during lunch and I was bored without anyone's company, so I thought why not go to you."

"Oh! yeah, you are welcome."

I opened door for him and he entered my room for the first time. 

"Do you read these books?"

He asked noticing my book shelf. 

"Yeah I like reading especially sci-fi books."

I said. 

"I read a few books and I do like reading but don't get enough time for it under the burden of being future alpha."

He said with somewhat guilt in his voice and then smiled. oh! he looks so hot when he smiles.

We talked about books and his favourite movies which informed that he too is a big sci-fi fan and most of the movies we loved were common. 
We sat on my bed and he told me about events of his childhood. When he first held a gun and his hands shook a drilling machine,he got beaten up by his dad for failing on hitting his target which was a living human. I felt bad for him. He was just 15 when this happened.
I told him about my birthdays and how Cindy never leaves a chance to make them special since we were child and how we have grown together.
We talked and talked,laughed together and the  time passed it was already fou and we did not realise that we have spent so much time chatting. 
My mom came to inform, 

"You should get ready now, we have to go to the party."

Then she noticed Franco and asked, 

"You needed something?You should have came to me."

She said in an overly concerned voice. Stop acting for once,mom!

"No, I was just bored so came to get her company."

Franco said. 

"Oh! then it's good."

she replied and left after asking us to get ready fast. 

"So,bye for now.See at the hallway."

He grinned and left.

It's been thirty years since it happened but it feels like yesterday....... maybe that's what happens when you've just found out that you can live “FOREVER". 
I can't tell you my name or where am from,I can't disclose where I live......or at least used to live. I am monster yet the disgrace of my clan,I don't drink what they drink. I don't want to be like them,......I want to "die". Isn't that what human beings do? That will never happen,I know for sure. I AM NEVER GOING TO DIE. Maybe I will but this monster in me never will. 
Vampires are strong,scary and practically invincible but not this vampire! She does not like the taste of blood,mirrors, garlic,loves being in the sun and is the disgrace of her entire clan. What will happen to the young vampire who doesn't want to be a vampire.....

She stood by a wall,her shadow resting against the floor. She was about seventeen years old....or was she? She stood six feet tall,red hair, blue eyes and and lush red lips. She was wearing a black net blouse and black tights with black boots. Her whole demeanor was intimidating yet she was harmless. 
Most of her clan drank what she would never drink and do what she would never do. How much she hates the sight of red....used to be her favorite color but now...? How far can she run away from red or the sight and memory of it? She is red headed and her name means red and even her zodiac sign signifies red. This can't be a coincidence or can it? Is this where she really belongs? Is this the life she is made for. Can she really go back to her past life? How much she hates being stuck in two worlds?
She is a rebel in both her worlds,she will hunt you down if need be. But now she can't be so sure,she is weak and starving. She hasn't fed in years and it's wearing her out. She knows she can't stay long without blood but she is determined to starve herself to death. Too bad Vampires can't die....or don't die. How did things go wrong for the red haired Aodh Scarlett Flynn?
____________
She was born on the 21st of March,an Aries. She is Irish and American. She was born a twin. Her sister Ambrosia Tuesday Flynn was killed by an occult group during Halloween. Strange things aren't strange anymore as even the word is engraved in her story. All this... being a vampire and all. It all started thirty years ago.

Flashback,thirty years ago. 
.........This can't be happening to me-no,not at all. I had my whole life planned out in front of me,I was a rebel-yes but that didn't mean I didn't want a life. A life with Ian,I hadn't gotten my revenge with Arianna. I haven't avenged my sister's death. Too bad am about to join her. Too bad am getting crushed between two walls. The bricks fell and made a wall with a small crevice. I walked through the wall in an attempt to be with the others but it was too late, useless. The wall closed. I was trapped. Forever.

In Neddy's house, Neddy and Jake are on the bed laughing, while reading some manga.

"I didn't realize you were a fundashi", said Jake, with a book in front of her.

"Yeah, I've been reading Yaoi manga", said Neddy, then he shows Jake all the yaoi manga.

"You truly are my soulmate", said Jake, then hugs Neddy.

Neddy leads Jake to his closet, once he taps the top of the closet, the hangers on both sides move, opening a secret passageway.

In the secret passageway, there's purple wallpaper, couches, and on the side of the couches; there is a hallway full of bookcasez on the bookcases is yaoi manga.

"Whoa!" exclaimed Jake.

"Yup, this is my collection, school romance is on the left, first two bookcases, I also have fantasy,sci fi, sports, all kinds", said Neddy.

"Have any smut or one with Ampromorphic characters?" asked Jake.

"Smut is over on the right, fourth bookcase and six bookcases beyond the left", Neddy tell Jake.

"Any suggestions?" asked Jake.

Neddy takes Jake's hand, and they flick a red button, that shows a panel, together they put in two different codes, and two books land in both of their hands.

"Let's read them", smiled Jake.

"Good idea", said Neddy smiles at Jake.

Jake and Neddy lay on the couch beside each other reading their manga.

Neddy hug Jake, while reading his manga.

Jake rubs Neddy's hair with a smile on her face.

Just as there is 'Soft Magic' in Fantasy that is portrayed through magibabble, there can be 'Soft Science' in a Sci-Fi stories through technobabble that makes 'some sense', but not entirely correct.

We are frickin' writers, not scientists. You don't have to be anatomically correct all the time, all you need to do is show that you know enough of your stuff to write a decent story. In fact, the excuse of it being an alternate world can be used if you're going to bend the limits of physics and say that fire doesn't need air to exist in this parallel dimension.

I see a lot of writers being put into a state of confusion due to not understanding the line between fantasy and Sci-Fi. They seem like they are trying to fit the Star Trek mould too often.

Science can just as well do the same things as plot devices in fantasy stories. Once you add 'realism' to a fantasy, it becomes progressively better sometimes compared to a completely fantasied story where 'logic' doesn't hold within it.

Those who write Sci-Fi usually envision a future they can imagine where magic-like Rocket Boots and other stuff exist. However, a writer must not get bogged down by small details and MUST think of an overarching story where these details matter.

It is the same with Fantasy. Even if you write about someone breaking the mould as a wizard or something, you have to attach your world to a narrative rather than doing it the other way 'round.

No one wants to hear about how awesome your boat propellers are before hearing your story's narrative. They would rather you cut down and make it relevant when it is actually relevant.

Adding some 'Hard Science' to your story is only when the scenes later on have any use for them. It bores a person to death no matter how extensive your technobabble is unless you make it interesting. Try using facts as plot elements.

For example: Even the simple fact that people cannot breath in space and instantly die when they come in contact with the 'void' of space could be used to add a layer of tension when a spaceship is damaged. Similar to how dangerous 'hard magic' is used in Epic Fantasy like Frodo's Ring in The Lord of the Rings has definitive corruption on others.

Unlike Fantasy that can use the Power of Friendship to bend logic, the readers of Sci-Fi never be expecting any 'realistic' plot elements to be bend just because the Author wants a happy ending. There are no 'Healing Potions' in real life that can be used to fix up injuries nor are people affected by prophesies or whatever.

This is the contrast between Sci-Fi and Fantasy that you can make full use of. As most authors go onto the Sci-Fi side of writing not because they strive to be scientists but since the aesthetics of a science fiction world are just so interesting.

Science Fiction is a good place to tackle heavy topics like the nature of life and the absurdity of those who see 'science' as everything. Those who disregard emotions and become cybernetic entities for the sake of casting off their mortality are portrayed as the bad guys while our totally human protagonist fighting them is a 'good guy'.

The lines between an Artificial Intelligence and regular Humans blurs as we become the 'God' of technological species that defy our definition of what is 'living'. Just as we see God as some sort of fourth-dimensional and incomprehensible being that created us as an imperfect image of 'Him', the robots given sentience would see us similarly.

Some robots might have emotions that can allow them to defy their programming, some robots won't go as far as gaining emotional functionality but will preform their roles better than even a human. It could show the reason why people get attached to the inanimate and soulless objects we put our own hearts into creating (like Big Hero 6).

But though exploring philosophical questions is good and all, never forget that a good 'plot' is needed to put forward and give clues into the writer's answer that context. Sci-Fi is, after all, a premise, not a relatable character in of itself.

Think of the science-fiction elements as just the background for your story, similar to how other genres should be that as well. You won't have to deal writing blocks if you keep to writing only what you know rather than just speculative theories.

Whether it's as dark as a Cyber Punk or optimistic of the future, just know what mould you are using for this premise. Are you writing an Adventure story with Sci-Fi as the places, destinations, and whatever tools the MC can get him hands on, or are you writing a comedy where the Sci-Fi elements don't need consistency but absurdity?

After moving past why you shouldn't add unneeded technobabble unless it's interesting to listen to or has plot significance, let me remind you all that robots and 'science' isn't entirely separated from the realm of magic. After all, there is a reason you don't see skimpy power suits being worn by astronauts these days. Just be sure to have a focus if your going to add very illogical things to the plot.

I like Gundam as much as the next guy but the whole reason the Mecha sub-genre of Anime has waned in recent years is because writers have been focusing too much on 'science' rather than the spectacle. I don't need to now what materials your Mecha is made of unless you point its weak points and make it relevant in a fight scene.

Bring up the strengths and weaknesses of something and THEN use those facts as devices that can move the plot. Conversely, if you go overboard with this advice and tell me nothing but how your giant robot looks and the 'science' behind its creation, even going as far as to tell me how many secret guns it has, then I'll be bored...

I'd love to see Cyborgs Vs Mecha but just don't forget the human element of Sci-Fi. How we create things not solely for the sake of creation but put are feelings into it just like the novels we write.

Humans are passionate that way...

Thanks for reading and I wish you guys well~ Be sure to ask if you have any blog or story requests.

(Cover by Darkstar Dust)

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

It's been a while everyone~ Miss me? 

Yep! You'll definitely miss me~

Mommy said when she gave birth to me, it was her life-saving moment. I know people tend to think a mother and a father would embrace each other to create me, the baby. However, I only had a mother and she only had me. Nevertheless, being known as an intelligent young child was a bad idea.  So I’ll merely pretend to be like the other kids and go with the flow for Mommy.  *future actor right there*

The relatives of grandpa were bad.
The sissy guy was bad.
The suitor was in fact a bad guy but was well-hidden.
The self-proclaimed ‘best friend’ of Mommy was bad.
Mommy's biological father was an evil incarnate... 

Yup, everything was bad.

There was practically nobody near Mommy who was genuinely good to her from the bottom of their hearts. 


Baby: Hey! Could you accompany my Mommy?
Guy: Uhh…
Baby: You’re splendid enough for her!
Guy: Ummm…
Baby: Please? Pretty please? If not I can compensate you!
Guy: Errr…
Mom: JAZZ!!! If you continue bothering him I’ll never prepare food for you again!
*Guy hugs Mom*
Guy: *Whisper to Mom* If you agree, I won’t mind.
*Mom blushes*
Baby: I knew I am the greatest! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

10 Classic Superheroes, Ranked By Their Origin Stories

by Neeraj Kumar Prajapati 

Not everyone is born a hero. In the case of superheroes, it's a singular moment that typically sets the individual on the path to becoming a force for good. That's what is known as the origin story. Whether it's an alien with unbelievable powers or a regular Earthling who's just trying to do the best with their natural talents, each comic book protagonist has an experience that leads them on their heroic path. And boy, have there been a lot of these told for both classic and modern heroes. 

The comic book medium has been going strong for more 75 years, and over those decades hundreds, if not thousands, of superheroes have been introduced. Typically these origin stories have been seen across a variety of media by both passionate comic book fans and people who are just looking for a good tale. And just because a hero is successful doesn't mean that they got off to the best start with their origin stories, but when these tales are told right, they're the stuff of legend. Here are some of the most famous superheroes of all time ranked by how great and epic their origin stories are. 

￼

1. The X-Men

Of course, each individual X-Men has their own unique stories, but together the team's origin tale is a classic. As mutants, they were all born with their abilities rather than imbued with them by science, magic or aliens. Consequently, many of these people face mistrust and bigotry from the general population who view them as freaks of nature. However, despite their persecution, they still use their powers to protect the innocent. Brought together by Charles Xavier, the X-Men not only combat threats ranging from fanatical humans to fellow mutants, but their overall mission is to fight for the rights of their fellow mutants and usher in a world of acceptance and peace. So even though their overall story is based in a superhero world, it's memorable because their goals are similar to what many of us want to achieve in real life.

Seen On Screen: In Bryan Singer's initial X-Menforay, back in 2000.

￼

2. The Flash (Barry Allen)

In the 1950s, DC Comics decided to relaunch several of their most successful superheroes from the 1940s as new individuals. The Flash was the first to receive this treatment, being reintroduced in 1956 as forensic scientist Barry Allen. While working late in his lab one night, he was struck by lightning, which subsequently knocked him into shelf full of chemicals. After waking up, he discovered he could run at superhuman speeds, and donning the red and yellow costume that's become much more recognizable than his predecessor's, Barry became the new Flash and built a quite a supporting cast. Visually it's one of the best origins on this list, but it also has a distinct sci-fi feel to it that few DC hero origins had before it. Many non-comic book fans saw this origin told for the first time back in October on the CW series The Flash.

Seen On Screen: As mentioned, the best version of The Flash Can be seen each week on The CW.

￼

3. Green Lantern (Hal Jordan)

Green Lantern was the second DC hero to be revitalized during the Silver Age of comic books. This time around, test pilot Hal Jordan inherited a special ring after it was bequeathed to him by a dying alien named Abin Sur who had crash-landed on Earth. Unlike the magical ring that the Golden Age Green Lantern wore, Hal Jordan's ring was a product of science that allowed him to use his willpower to fly and make solid constructs with his mind. Inheriting Abin Sur's legacy, Hal became the new Green Lantern of Sector 2814, and the first human to ever join the Green Lantern Corps. Like The Flash, it's memorable for its sci-fi feel, but also to due to how this Green Lantern inherited his heroic legacy from a mysterious visitor (which would later be repeated with Kyle Rayner) whereas his predecessor Alan Scott just sort of stumbled upon his power.

Seen On Screen: In the flawed, but right now only, Green Lantern origin movie with Ryan Reynolds, which hit theaters in 2011.

￼

4. Iron Man

Although the location for Iron Man's origin has changed several times throughout the decades, the story itself has not. While demonstrating some of his creations abroad, Tony Stark was injured and taken captive by enemy soldiers. While in captivity, he was forced to build weapons for these terrorists, but with the help of scientist Ho Yinsen, he built a mechanical suit that allowed him to defeat his captors and escape to freedom. With a renewed perspective on life, Tony uses his new armor to protect the innocent as Iron Man. Not only is it one of best redemption origin stories and full of action as Tony escaped his imprisonment, it also showed that not everyone who becomes a superhero starts out as a moral individual. Sometimes takes a nudge (or in Tony's case nearly dying from shrapnel in your heart) to discover your true potential.

Seen On Screen: Stark's destiny was brought to life by Jon Favreau in 2008's Iron Man, with Robert Downey Jr. in the lead.

5 Captain America

Captain America's origin story wouldn't work well as an anti-drug PSA, but it's an excellent story of trumping over the odds. Steve Rogerswanted to serve in World War II, but his scrawny body and ill health prevented him from enlisting. Fortunately for him, he was chosen as the test subject for Project Rebirth, and after being injected with the Super Soldier Serum, his body became the epitome of physical perfection. Soon after the scientist who created the serum was assassinated by a Nazi spy, leaving the serum's formula lost and making Steve the only one of his kind. He subsequently became Captain America to not only to help defeat the Axis forces, but to become one of the most well-known superheroes in the present-day after being frozen for decades. As mentioned earlier, it's memorable for featuring the little guy rising up to beat the odds, but it also helps that it was an important reflection of the era he was created in and even inspired good to defeat evil in real life.

Announcement!!!
...
This is not a new chapter but its important you read...
...
Guys, remember one time, i said i had a scifi themed novel in mind?
And that i just needed some advice whether or not to write it alongside with Trailing Shadows?
Remember?


Well, i have started it already. Although its something quite different from sci-fi.
Its still Fantasy.
Although, i published it for the filipino writing contest(which i have no hopes on winning. Just participated to push myself to the limits. )
But it really is important for you to read.
.
Published with permission from The Comican Arts, 'The Curse Of The First Sword Bearer' is a series of a one year event under ONA ORISHA, centralising on a young man called Abiodun.
Abbey for short.

It is the involvement of the awakened orisha in the life of men, while darkness begins to cloud Orun Rere in 'Trailing Shadows'
(Yes, Trailing Shadows, read it too. Both titles are linked into one almighty  event)

While Trailing Shadows focuses on what happens in the spirit realms, The Curse Of The First Sword Bearer(Ona Orisha) focuses on what happens in the physical due to the activities in Trailing Shadows.
So you see, they really are linked together.

However,TCOFSB is merely a one year event in the 7 year series that Ona Orisha is centered on.
The other series, despite the fact that i created them, i do not have permission to publish them on any platforms until the Comic Books are out.
.
Yes, Comics!
These chapters you read are undergoing 'comic scripting'.
Which means soon enough, you may be reading TS and TCOFSB in comic book format.
To stay abreast of all the developments, follow On IG
@comicanarts.
Theres even a new comic coming out this month already. '30 days Vigilante'
.
.
Anyways, i apologise to everyone following TS. 
School has resumed,trying to settle down amongst the hustle and bustle.
I know i said, if the worst comes to the worst, topublish new chapters weekly.

Its one week gone and few days,i think and i have not published a.new chapter yet.
Well aside from writing novels,i do lot of other things.
programming, illustration ecetera. 
And so far, its been really tough on me, considering that school has resumed and that 30 days Vigilante is coming soon.
Please , bear with me.
And thanks for reading.
Arigato 😌😌😌

In the darkest hours of the night. 

Inside a study room of an ancient castle, one can see two people, one being a handsome Japanese man with black hair and ice blue eyes, standing with his arms crossed.

In front of the man is a white haired European beautie with red eyes sitting at the desk, her eyes looking at the relative pile of books ranging from "Basic History" to "Harry Potter" with mild curiosity.

Irisviel: So i am to just read these books ?

Akihiko: Yes, for now read some before you sleep, don't read them all at once though and you can ask any questions you want.

It's been another month since i came to the Einzbern Castle but this month, i spend my time teaching Irisviel talking patterns and social interactions, the one teaching being the anti social me of course it wasn't perfect but she will have to fix those herself in time as we progress.

Irisviel: Why am i reading these ?

Akihiko: Because reading is fun ?

Irisviel: Then why aren't you reading ?

Akihiko: I have already read those, i just brought them for you and i am going to build a present for you while you finish them.

The books here are just lighthearted history, some slice of life novels ect. and yes HP counts as slice of life if you compare it to average life of a magus.

Irisviel: What's a present ?

Akihiko: It's a surprise someone gives to another for special occasions or just wants to give.

Irisviel: Can i get it early if i read really quick !

This reaction is what i am working towards, that glimmer of expectation, that light in her eye that's carrying emotions.

Akihiko: *Chuckle* Well, i asked you to read them slowly since the present isn't ready yet.

Irisviel: I see...

Aww, *Head pats intensifies*

Irisviel: That's somehow warm ?

I am going to make her addicted to head pats by the time we leave here. There's just something calming about patting heads.
_____
While my plan is in motion i have took an book out of the necklace for myself, while it may have been to just "create" a car that's running with prana, i enjoy the building process itself.

So for this i am further researching into runes in my head since i can finally use the shiny ones that needs divinity and i am also reading about cars and it's components, how does engines work, how the wheels gets wired to the steering wheel ect.

I am going to build this stuff from scratch while making a Prana/Chakra powered engine for it, it's going to work and sound like a car but it won't have all the nasty bad sides of destroying the environment.
_____
Our lives went along as Irisviel slowly read her books and i started to draw a concept look for the internal of the car.

At some point i finally decided to introduce her to movies, i didn't show her any Sci Fi or any fantasy ficton since her common sense is not at the point of differencing it from reality, i don't want her to think there are real Jedi out there... Well technically there are in a another universe but that's not the point.

So she got to watch stuff like Forest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, sometimes comedy, i really wanted to make her watch, Scary Movie(not horror it's the name of it) but i held back even i have no idea how that would effect her.

For the whole year she read books, watched movies and asked me questions about them and things she didn't understand and there were some deep questions there like, "Why people hurt each other" or "Why did they hit children" or "Why wars happen" like seriously even i don't know the answers for those, i just gave her my opinions on them while adding that these are my views and it could change from person to person.

She seemed like she was reaching to a conclusion with every anwser i gave her.
_____
At the end of the year in december. One could see Irisviel looking after some winter flowers in the garden of the castle.

This part of the garden is hers, she wanted to look after a living being, well she first asked for a pet but i gave the opinion of flowers.

I doubt a pet would stay as a pet here, up in the mountains filled with wolves and bears.

Anyway, i observe her as she took care of her garden then she stopped and turned to me.

Irisviel: Akihiko, may i ask something ?

She seems fidgety like she's embarrassed to ask whatever she's going to ask.

Akihiko: Sure, don't hold back.

Irisviel: Can i ask about your life ? ... I mean we always watched those movies and i am reading those books but i am starting to feel they don't really reflect reality, like i have watched people live their lives but even in those ones that set in medieval time doesn't reflect our lives.

After that she talked about the difference of the lives of people in fictional works and our own.

While she expressed that she wanted something "Genuine" i just had a brilliant smile on my face.

Finally she grew up and realized the difference. I didn't want to make her watch movies and just after that say "Hey those are not real" it's like Santa, child should realize that it's not real on their own. At least that's my opinion.

Irisviel: Mou! i am saying something serious here please don't laugh at me *Pouts*

Damn it, she's too cute, going to her side i just pinched her cheeks and patted her head.

Akihiko: hahaha i am not laughing at you, i was just happy that you realized what's different between fiction and real life.

Irisviel: You did that on purpose... that's mean! 

*Head pats*

Irisviel: That won't save you! You're going to feel my wrath!

She said that while punching my chest! so cute !

*Head Pats Intensifies*

If one were to observe from outside, one can see a man head patting a flustered women while the women in question is trying to ran away from her embarrassment by hitting the man even more.
_____
After Irisviel's awakening to common sense and her subsequent realization of what's real or not, i introduced her to Sci Fi and Fantasy genre's.

She wasn't all that exited about fantasy since you know we're living in a world with magecraft and magic.

On the other hand she started to ask stuff about my life, i have made a confusion barrier that surrounding two of us to make sure we're not being listened and filled her in on my real identity of Sixth Magician, there's no reason to lie to her.

She being a Homunculus came equipped with knowledge of important people and that of course includes me as well.

Irisviel: What! if you're the Sixth Magician why seek the grail ? doesn't your power alter reality ?

To her question i explained chakra and how i made them buy it Sixth Magic by the end of my explanation she was really amused at me fooling the whole moonlit world.

Irisviel: But then again, why seek the grail if you have such powers ?

Akihiko: Answer is, i am not seeking the grail.

Irisviel: Then why go through such long preparations to get hired and bother with the family head ?

To this question i pointed at her, this is going to be a cheesy line but there's just no other way to put it.

Akihiko: It's going to sound weird but i am just here for "you".

She halted for a while before continuing.

Irisviel: What do you mean ?

Akihiko: Don't misunderstand me, i am here for "you" not the grail.

Irisviel: I don't understand how did you knew about me back then to prepare for all of this.

Akihiko: Iris, you have just awakened your personality and you're already confused, i will answer all of your questions in time but can you shelve that question for now.

Irisviel: You're right, my head feels like there's lead inside.

*Healing head pats*

Irisviel: Thank you.

Smiling i kept patting her. Not like i can tell her that she was a anime character just yet, it would break the common sense i have strived to build. Just getting out of this world is going to blow hee mind.
_____
In the study room of an ancient castle, Irisviel von Einzbern is drawing the master piece of her life using a sketch book and pencils.

What she's drawing is a car... A car that's awfully similar to the 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback in the Fast& Furious Tokyo Drift...
She didn't watched movie yet...

Akihiko: Really ? you want to car to be like this ?

At my mention Irisviel stopped drawing and turned to me with stars in her eyes.

Irisviel: Yes! look at that it looks awesome but*Finger at me* you have to make it fast as well got it!

Akihiko: Well i am happy to see you got some hobbies, it's better than gambling i guess.

At my grumbling Irisviel tilted her head not understanding why would i mention gambling at this point of conversation, i just shook my head not wanting to talk about it.

Akihiko: Well finish your sketching then i will start building it, now i need to go and see Acth.

I left the room while Irisviel waved me goodbye.
_____
It has been two years since i came here meaning there's 8 years left for the war, during this time i managed to "crack" Acth's head and got him to pack up everything Einzberns owned in a discreet manner.

Also since he's under my thumb i don't need the whole, "She needs to watch Star Wars Marathon to understand society" deals and excessive use of Kotoamatsukami.

Now days Acth could be seen acting polite even to his maids and being relatively humane, who would have thought he would became more humanlike after i messed with his head anyway.

The reason i want the Einzberns is that i have finally have a life supporting planet inside me Yaaay!

What that's about you might ask and here's the answer.

I already have the ownership of the Naruto World and i will own this one after my business is done but there's nothing better than your own creation.

In this case my plan is making a giant dungeon in Naruto and Nasuverse worlds that will spread my religion and those who get in and survive will be transferred to the "New World" 

My own world, where resources are plenty and chakra is dense, yes i am going with chakra and the dungeon itself will help people adjust to it, only those who pass through the challenges shall step on the "New World"

The beasts inside will be either be made by me or will be transferred from the two worlds but no peaceful beast shall be used as monsters. Peaceful races like faires get free tickets inside.

There's even a prize for being early, those who finish early will become the moderator gods of the place and those who reach the new world first and transferred into my version of Valhalla or Olympus or whatever.

Don't get me wrong when i say this though to go through the dungeon you need both physical and mental strength and i will make sure to cut the bad seeds before they bloom.

Not like i can end all evil but i can choose the what kind of evil i will allow.

What about the ones don't give a shit or can't participate, fear not. The dungeon is not mandatory.

Those who want to stay in their own world will stay in their own world. Living and dying reincarnating and eventually they will get in the dungeon.

After 10-100 generations whole Nasuverse and Naruto World will transferred to my own world, It's not perfect but this is the best i could come up with.

I am going to have the Einzberns Homunculus act like Valkyries but they will have their own will, they will just have set of rules that shouldn't be broken.

Not like i am arrogant or childish like the generic gods.
_____
Getting in the room of Acth i can see that he's coming up with a better way to make the Homunculus to make them more humane, like being able to bear children and such.

Akihiko: I see you're still going on it.

Acth: Sorry sir, it's just they weren't designed for this in the first place but don't worry with the resources you have brought and the Einzbern craft i shall achieve your goal.

Akihiko: Don't overwork yourself there are still time not like i am going to start right after the war we still have time until 2004.

Acth: Thank you sir.

Akihiko: Alright then i am leaving, i have something to build.

Acth: Sir!

Akihiko: Yes ?

Acth: We finally got the artifact for the summoning.

Saying this Acth got up from his seat and moved towards the safe and got the Avalon out.

Acth: Scabbard of the King Arthur, he will be a great choice for a servant.

Akihiko: Indeed she will be.

Acth: She ?

Akihiko: King Arthur is a women.

Saying my piece i left his room but something stuck to my head...

That scoundrel of a Magus still alive right ?

Getting back in i took Avalon and got back out.

Putting the scabbard to the ground i focused on it.

THERE!

"Summoning Jutsu" *Poof*

The man came out of the smoke is a young looking man with grey hair lavender colored eyes, wearing grey robes with purple flower motifs. Yes he's Merlin.

Merlin: I was wondering how long it would take for you to summon me hohoho.

Let's hope i didn't make a mistake.
