“Fuck you, Rika,” Kozen muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible over the sound of his own heartbeat. Just twenty minutes ago, he’d been sleeping, and now he was trapped inside a box filled with sand. There was no door—literally, it was like someone had welded metal panels together. A note was attached to his chest, and it took all his effort not to rip it off in frustration....

It could all go very badly if he wasn't smart enough about it. But as soon as the man opened his mouth, everything became as easy as ever.

Training for polyphasic sleep wasn’t just hard—it felt like fighting his own body and mind every single day. The cycles of waking after twenty-minute naps left him in a state that was neither awake nor asleep. His thoughts would blur and split, reality and dreams weaving together like tangled threads. The training drills became surreal, the days and ...
2024-10-20 05:27:06 +0000 UTC View PostTrust. That word has always had weight for Kozen—a kind of burden, really. It’s something he struggled with, both in this life and the one before. Back then, he didn’t trust people. Not really. There was one person, though, one exception—his mother. She put all her faith in him, believed in him enough to send him off to the big city to become someone. And what did he do? He failed her. ...

A high IQ, and if you asked him, damn good looks too. But the best part? His future. It was set in stone. He was Koichi Shido, heir to Koichi Company Inc., a global conglomerate that made billions every year.

Her eyes flicked around the car, taking in every detail. The seats were leather—real leather, soft and expensive. The dashboard gleamed...

Dear Diary,
Hello… my name is Rei Miyamoto. God, why am I even doing this? Maybe it’s just in case I get murdered or something, at least someone will know who I was, teehee. This feels so dumb. I can’t believe I’m even recording these..

He shook his head. "Not at this price. Anything else, and we'd spend more on the store than the renovation." He grabbed the faded note taped to the door. "Besides, if we haggle, I'm sure they'll make it more affordable. I mean, they’re probably desperate to get rid of it."
Saya folded her arms, skeptical. "And why would they be so eager to sell it for less?"
He glanced at the decr...

They seemed so simple, so peaceful. But her mind was far from that tranquility. The thought kept running through her head, gnawing at her like an itch she couldn’t scratch. Would flowers still look this beautiful if the world were burning a...

Rei knew she shouldn’t think like that—not when so much had happened, and there was a whole level of tragedy to it. But she couldn’t help it. The chaos that unfolded, the gang fight with the neighboring class, the mass exodus of students—all of it felt like the backdrop to something bigger. Something that, for once, felt like it was working ...

2024-10-06 02:52:54 +0000 UTC View Post“I’ll keep my end of the bargain.” Saya said, huffing. There was no way in hell she’d go back on her word. Though, 3 million yen wasn’t a small sum even for her. But she had a trust fund; her parents wouldn’t deny her the opportunity of making it big without their direct help. “But only because I believe there’s merit and fortune in this idea of yours.”
Mai clearly hesitated. Tysone merely raised one eyebrow, curious. He’d have made a joke about a cat eating her tongue, but she was more of a bunny, so he’d save it for now.
“It’s the lyrics…” She said, finally, pulling the words out with difficulty. “I thought you’d write some unsavory, expletive-filled song that’d have made me lose face, but I didn’t ...

Ethan Cain stood in front of the Chikara Dojo, the cool autumn air biting at his cheeks as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other.

The problem was, being resourceful didn’t exactly translate to easy solutions when you were stuck in a body far too small for the mind inside it.
