“Stop!” Ainz stepped forward as Artoria's spear glinted in her hands, interested in her words and remarks.
“Wait a second, what exactly did you want to say about saving humanity and your plan!?”
Ainz had been preparing for this confrontation for a long time, honing the best of his excuses, remembering the most appropriate phrases and copious visualization training. And yet, ...

Momonga left the confines of the old church a couple of hours later, one small gym bag full of bills richer and poorer by several million nerve cells… At least if Momonga had still continued to be stressed in the same way as before, he probably would have lost most of his nerve cells, or maybe died in the church of a heart attack.
‘I haven't had time yet to see exactly what kind of Go...

There was no wave of fear, horror, or darkness even as the wave of death seemed to swallow the world. On the contrary, the sky seemed to become even clearer, and all the small and pitiful details like darkness, light, horror, joy, simply gave way to an absolute void of sterile space. Such a sight gave a feeling of alien-ness as all living beings in the battlefield involuntarily shivered as a wa...

Many people were able to distinguish between ‘big’ and ‘small’ victories and defeats among themselves, and such things depend on the individual.

Nora had no memory of her parents. It was perfectly normal, abandoned at an age when children are not yet ready to attend school, it was perfectly normal that Nora had no memory of her parents. No notes, no acquaintances, not even a memory.
The very first memory Nora remembered was… Probably the time she managed to steal a pancake that had fallen out of some woman’s breakfast plate.
