#Mana Chaos AU

[circeyoru]

The Only Reason

[Yandere!Sung Jinwoo x Worker!Reader]

Note: I have no idea what to call this AU, but I don't think a lot of people will read this so... Haha~ Mental AU? Chaos AU?

Update! This AU is called Mana Chaos AU! Plus there's Part 2 up!!

Part 1 (here) 一 Part 2

Once, the world’s strongest Hunters were revered as humanity’s saviours and heroes for the weak and ordinary. They were once treated like celebrities and hold the highest power and authority. They were respected, praised, and idolized. They still were, now, with a hint of fear.

It all happened due to the infamous incident now dubbed as <The Outrage Incident>. It happened like any other day, in any other country, in any other city. But to only that one strong Hunter. He was an S-Rank Mage, a successful and loved one at that. The story goes like this. 

One day, this powerful Hunter was out on the street enjoying a day off, but something set him off and he used his powerful ability to set things right. It would have been the end of it since an S-Rank’s threat was enough to make the majority crumble. However, his power got out of control and caused an outrage to his being. He was using his powers in public and there was no dungeon outbreak or monsters nearby for him. No amount of justification could calm the public.

After that one incident, other countries’ S-Rank or higher started to experience a similar issue. The worst case was that even Healers of their level didn’t escape such a phenomenon. Soon, the public feared the strong protectors they once saw as shields and swords against the gates. 

Researchers and scientists were put to work quickly to investigate why and how this issue was happening now. The answer was in the overflowing mana levels within their bodies that couldn’t be contained since the human body was weak and frail for such a change. Addition to that, it correlated to the Hunter’s emotional level and their control. Institutions were built to imprison house the S-Ranks while monitoring their situation. 

Whenever an S-Rank’s mana levels and emotions show signs of <Outrage>, a term they now use to describe the Hunter going haywire with their powers on everything and anything around them, they will be sent to a dungeon alone. In the people’s eyes, it was better for that one Hunter to die in battle than kill innocents. Because at first, it was only the S-Ranks, but then some A-Ranks would fall victim to <Outrage> as well. 

The professionals have named the correlation as Emotional Mana, EM for short, which made way for the Emotional Mana Institution, EMI for strong Hunters. The Hunters were treated like mental patients or worse, forced into a straitjacket and some had a muzzle for certain Hunters. These were specially designed and created items that limit and restricts a Hunter’s use of their powers and abilities. 

It was a miracle that someone managed to create such equipment. That someone was also targetted by the S-Ranks after being announced and killed for such a disrespectful act, still the blueprints and prototypes were created and other talents that took over were able to finalize the perfect form.

“Personnel 002, you were specifically requested by SM-10.” 

You looked up from your laptop and paused in your rapid typing for just a few second before you looked back to your screen and continued typing. That code name was to protect you and everyone else that worked in EMI or have some form of connection to it, so that no innocent is sacrificed for the greater good. Still, you can’t get used to it nor do you want to. “I’m busy.”

“Please… SM-10 is way too picky with the people that enters his cell.” This person, Supervisor 843, was one of the newest employee to join the crew. Though, unlike the name of the duty, they were people that were disposable hence the frequent newcomers and high number. “Please help me.”

You sighed and glared up at the person who had a mask over their head and a voice changer to mask their identity. Though, with the way they were speaking, you could deduce this person was a ‘she’. You got up and snatched the file extended to you. Just when you thought you could rest and work in peace, trouble comes knocking on your door. “Get me a drink and some refreshment, I want to see it on my desk by the time I’m back.”

“Yes? Yes!” Supervisor 843 bowed and clapped her hands together, “I’ll do so!”

As swiftly and automatically, you made your way through the hallways and doorways, tapping your access card to unlock needed doors and lifts for your travel. On the way, other Supervisors nodded their heads and bowed in your presence when you walked by. Unlike them who wear a uniform, you only have a lab coat over your usual outfits. You don’t even have a mask or voice changer. 

Why?

You stood in front of the door that was labelled in bold ‘SM-10’, meaning the 10th S-Rank in Korea that belonged to the Mage class. The guard dressed in black from head to toe nodded their heads at you before they started unlocking the various security checkpoints and locks for you to enter into a battlefield in its own right.

“Will one hour be enough, Personnel 002?” One of the guards asked.

“Not sure, just be alert in case I need to rush out.” You spoke stoically with indifference.

Step by step, you walked in, announcing loudly of your arrival to the individual inside. The doors closed behind you and locked you inside with what everyone feared. You sighed and put away your glasses since there was no need for it right now. The room was eerily silent and cold, something you were long used to. 

You took a few more steps, walking deeper into the room where it seemed to get darker and darker even though the lights in all housed Hunters would be on 24/7 to monitor their actions and activities within the room. 

Just when your vision failed you to the point where you can’t see what was in front of you, you were enveloped in a pair of strong arms, your entire form effortlessly pulled back till your back was pressed against a firm wall of muscle one would call chest and abs. Hair tickled one side of your cheek and neck, you felt a breath cooed before a deep voice rang in your ear, “I’ve been waiting for my favourite Personnel~”

It wasn’t at all odd that your name was called as well, if it was someone like him, he’d know everything there was to know. In fact, everyone should be worshipping him right now for his controlled and well-mannered behaviour. Especially when he could have destroyed this entire facility and killed everyone in it within seconds if he so wished. 

“Jinwoo. I need to work, don’t bully the newcomers.” You sighed while looking to the side as if making eye contact with him. 

“I like it when you call me by name and not some code, thanks for that.” Jinwoo hummed as he played with your fingers. “I guess I’ll think about it. It’s a bit bored here, you understand.”

“You removed your straitjacket again.” You let him fiddle with your fingers as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. “You’ll get caught one of these days and then it’ll be game over.”

“Igris helped me remove it. You know how they are with seeing me constrained and imprisoned here.” He chuckled and leaned back, but it turned out he was just taking a seat, presumably on his bed since you still couldn’t see anything in the darkness. “Don’t worry, I’ve made sure no one could see me free and they didn’t kill anyone. Yet.”

Every Hunter that was admitted into the EMI was evaluated and thoroughly investigated to create the perfect profile for reference. All their fighting style, powers and abilities, weapons of choice, gear type, and any other detail was accounted down. It was all for people to be prepared in case one would have an <Outrage> and they were needed to be countered by weaker Hunters. 

For Jinwoo, however, his profile was lacking to put it in the best terms. His mana levels were unmeasureable, yes, so he was placed as an S-Rank. Though, his powers and abilities were unknown. Since he was a Reawakened Hunter, most would assume he was the same class as he was as an E-Rank; a Fighter Class. But he exhibit <Telekinese> and <Shadow Manipulation> so he was placed as into Mage class.

That wasn’t even the tip of the iceberg. 

You saw through his innocence and lie, uncovering his true powers and abilities. To be honest, even if you told your higher-ups of Jinwoo’s secrets, there was nothing they could do to counter it. Jinwoo was a league of his own and only you knew it. He was no mere S-Rank, he was definitely a National Level Hunter.

Ah, yes. The question as to why you don’t wear a mask or bother having done anything to hide your identity. It was not because you’ve been in one of the people who has been in service of EMI for the longest time or wanted something as shallow as respect from the newcomers or other coworkers. It was completely because you knew it was useless to hide when someone like Sung Jinwoo had his eyes on you.

“I’ll try and arrange a dungeon for you to raid.” You marked down on your phone while Jinwoo continued to treat you like a teddy bear.

“You have to join though. If you don’t…” Jinwoo’s voice went deeper as glowing eyes stared at you from the shadows, “I don’t know what I’ll do to get your attention…”

You nodded, pushing down the urge to flinch or jerk away from him. It was normal, something you expected but still unnerving to hear with your own ear from his lips. You swear this place made the Hunters mad in the head, it was a place that made them sick and mentally ill, it wasn’t actually helping them at all. “Yeah, of course. I’m sure everyone will be relieved to hear it.”

Jinwoo smirked as his arms tightened around you, his face buried between your neck and shoulder. “You’re the only reason I stay here. Remember that. If you leave here… Leave me… I’ll do what Thomas Andre did to America.”

Note: I can't help it, it was supposed to upload the requested ones first, but then this idea hit me like a truck (without the isekai part), so now here it is. There are like 2 requested stories written and ready to be posted, but I'm double checking and stuff. Hope you like this AU/idea.

Circe Y.

My Works: MASTERLIST

Taglist: (none at the moment)

[duckapus]

say who is cream's kevin eleven and gwen in the cream 10 au?

The Kevin equivalent is Clasp the Spider, an oc I repurposed from a different Cream-centric story idea (that I've never posted about) where Eggman's latest scheme inadvertently makes Cream swap places in time with her teenage future self. In that Clasp is a hacker who was with Future Cream when they got swapped because they were investigating an old possibly-not-as-abandoned-as-it-should-be Eggman Base.

And because they're girlfriends.

In Cream 10 they meet much earlier than they had in that story (since for the whole Kevin 11 thing to work they have to meet before Cream starts unlocking aliens), and it plays out pretty close to how Ben and Kevin's first meeting did, just modified to fit the different characters and setting (and with a 6 and 7 year old simultaneously dealing with their First Crush to make the storm of emotions just that little bit more volatile).

As for Gwen... honestly I'm gonna go the funny route and have Cheese be the one with an Anodite grandparent.

How about "library" for the one word prompts?

"Everyone put the top five cards of your library into your graveyard," Wind said with a wide grin. Everyone else groaned.

Sky picked up his top card and gasped. "No, not my Trapped in a Tower!" Sky cried, cradling the card in his hands.

"Hell yeah, get rid of it!" Legend cheered. "Noting can stop my boar now!"

Sky frowned and reluctantly placed the card in his growing graveyard pile.

"You killed two of my rats," Wild said with a frown.

"You'll get them back," Hyrule said unenthusiastically, head propped on his head.

"True," Wild admitted.

From his seat in his office, Time sighed. The Magic game had been going for an hour and a half and showed no signs of ending soon. So much for a peaceful Sunday catching up on work.

Time leaned back in his chair at just the right angle to see the living room and propped his feet up. At least he got to watch his kids have fun.

(ALRIGHT I'M BORED, REGRETEVATOR AU HEADCANONS LOREDROPS 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO)

[GNARPY & GNARPIAN SOCIETY]

-> Gnarpy has trouble showing empathy and sympathy, mostly because xe was taught at a young age to close off xeir emotions.

-> Most gnarpians used to worship a deity called "Flogzor". A god of harvest, fortune and peace.

-> Life on Gars before the Great Industrialization was Tribal. And they worshiped Flogzor for tens of thousands of years. They kept mostly to themselves, and slowly advanced. But one day, they nearly all stopped worshiping Flogzor. No one knows why they did. But some say it came from a dream...

-> The only things gnarpians do not wish to fight against are Daleks, Mach and Incident Zero.

-> However, the gnarpians don't mind fighting the Orinthians. As long as they put up a good fight.

-> Gnarpy sometimes has mental breakdowns where xe cries. Worst case scenario xe does it in front of everyone.

-> Gnarpy has a narcissistic complex, and sometimes tries to spin the conversation to gnarpian related things.

-> Garby is considered the nicest gnarpian among other extraterrestrials.

-> Garby is autistic, and would pace around and flick xis ear with xis paw to stim. /selfproj

-> Gnarpy would be an amazing FPS player.

-> Most gnarpians are gambling addicts. They love making battle-related bets and waging gnarpian credits. Gnarpy would definitely also be a slot machine addict if xe ever crossed one, because of all the colors.

[3-FR THEORY] (Click if you want to learn more than gnarpy stuff in my AU!)

-> There goes an existing theory called the "3-FR Theory" in which states that there are Three Factors of Reality. Where there is Space, the one we currently live in. AntiSpace, where chaos and destruction only exist, And SubSpace. Where the two spaces intertwine and what is only described closest as "Universe Blood". A highly volatile pink substance that shimmers.

-> Consider SubSpace as a near-impassable river, only able to be traversed by tapping into it, or using highly unstable technology. The only technology available that uses subspace are the SubSpace Engine and the SubSpace Tripmines.

-> There is nothing beyond the three factors, for it is called the "Void". A seemingly infinite mass of corruptive, unknown substance.

-> No one knows what the "Regretevator" is, they just go on it whenever they please when it pops up.

[EARTH, HUMANITY AND MAGIC]

-> Mana is the secondary life force of a Magically gifted person. (Mage, wizard or witch) When they reach natural old age, they begin to rely more and more on mana until the reserves implode on itself and they finally die. This can last up to two-to-ten thousand years if they keep training.

-> Mana exists in everyone, but those who are regular are dormant.

-> To use Magic, one must tap into their inner soul. Draw it out of their manaforce and cast it. This process is tedious for those who wish to awaken their magic. For it will cost heavily their energy and fatique.

-> Magic can be extended to rituals. The bigger the ritual, the better the outcome.

-> For this, rituals that use blood or intent of world destruction are purely forbidden. Cultists prefer to use all rituals however.

-> There exists different nationalities of robloxian/human. There are the Redcliff, Korvundan, and Orinthian.

-> Orinthians are by far the most advanced race of robloxian/human, able to go head-to-toe with Gnarpians.

-> There are two highly classified branches of earth government called the "S.P.E.C". (Selective Procurement of Extraterrestrial Commerce") and "I.N.D.I.G.D.O". (Intergalactic Nexus of Defense Integrations and Global Defense Operations).

[DRRETRO and KATBALLS]

-> DRRETRO and other katballs do have a body in my AU, and if you seen the size of her when she was in the regretevator, she'd be too big to fit inside height wise.

-> She is very motherly, and would protect those from harm. She'd go as far to even comfort gnarpy... even though xe would deny her worry and hiss and scratch at DRRETRO.

-> Some Katballs do live on earth. They are naturally fluffy and cuddly like big cats.

-> Most of them came from another universe/dimension. How they got past the Impassable River is unknown. (Probably meowing at it)

[Gregoriah]

-> Gregoriah often gets takeout from one of his own restaurants, simply because he doesn't have enough energy to cook.

-> He works 9-5, on the clock, at every shift. He doesn't even get breaks.

-> Gregoriah is a MASSIVE workaholic, nearly passing out on the button controls sometimes.

-> If gregoriah would eat a pot brownie, he would be ABSOLUTELY stoned. He's so lightweight that even a crumb would make him high.

-> Gregoriah would like to be called "Greg, greggy, Mr. G, G-boy, Mr. Gregsicle, Greggle and Greggle 2." However, he does not like to be called "Gregnant" or by his deadname. That's one way you get on his real bad side.

-> Gregoriah is RARELY ever raging mad. If he would be put in such a state, he would have the capacity to destroy entire buildings.

-> For this reason, his co-workers would often put up a fake smile.

[Mach]

-> Mach and Incident Zero know eachother. For this reason is still unknown.

-> Her banhammer can hurt folly, but it would always feel like a stubbed toe.

-> Contrary to belief, her banhammer is not the same as an Admin's banhammer. Not the same banishment type.

-> With her hammer, she can access the banlands, but not send people there.

-> She dislikes going to gars because it "smells like dirty socks from an overworked Zum'ae".

-> Mach is immune to lethal chemicals with her cybernetics.

And finally...

[The Malicious Duo: MR and Folly]

-> Not much will be said about the two. For that would be spoilers... shhh...

-> Folly would often seek to torment people in their dreams.

-> She likes to psychologically play with people, influencing their dreams so they could die in them.

-> The reason she can appear in the elevator is unknown, some speculate daydreaming. In which she can appear, but not interact physically. Only verbally.

-> MR wants out.

-> Once enough mental damage is done, she can go in for the kill. This is based on their mental fortitude. For example: She can't kill Pest outright, because he took a barter with an unknown individual, placing a piece their spirit inside of him. Excluding him from the guest purge. However, Melanie...

-> Spud/frank is so mentally broken that he cannot recover by normal/mortal means. Folly is just savoring his... condition. Before doing anything drastic.

-> MR only thrives in darkness. it burns them when they enter light in their spirit form.

-> MR is not dead, they quickly hid in the shadows of Mach's office before their rock shattered. The pieces regenerate overtime. The rock can never be broken for good.

-> Garby is infected with something. But it isn't either of their doing.

AND THAT'S IT!!

Hope you like my AU headcanons.

TCF Prompt 27

TBOAH AU - OG Cale and OG Archie

Cale Henituse died by the hands of the WS. In one universe he made a deal and exchanged souls with one Kim Rok Soo. In this one, instead of making a deal, GoD sends him to another timeline to be able to rest and not have to worry about anything ARM or WS related. In this world, he regressed to when he was 16(and was in the process of escaping the Empire. Perhaps he had been kidnapped? Was his family ok and why did he have ancient powers, including his moms??).

Somewhere along the way, he ends up running into Archie, who also like him, was on the run and had his soul sent to this world after he was killed(and oh, it was a horrifying death. turning blood into pure mana burning him from the inside out. Who knew a specific weapon was made just to take him down. Witira fully snapped after witnessing her last family members/commanders death/. She was so scary, that even the WS didn't enter those waters for a couple years).

Eventually, they learn that they had been considered missing(and MIA in Archie's case). Both had been captured 2 years prior and experimented on at some point during that time(Archie had terrible scars on his back, along with part of his phin missing in his whale form he had also had patches that showed some of his hide had been taken at some point. Just wait until Cale found out who on the black market bought whale hide...if Shickler didn't get to them first anyway. Cale had Ancient Powers forced upon his very thin plate. Luckily he and Archie had come across a water power that settled his plate, but he was will very weak. Both their immune systems were gone too.)

A couple months later, they run into the Molans. And all hell breaks loose.

----

Overprotective Henituse's/allies/Molans

Overprotective Whales

Archie and Cale whump

No Raon and kids(they either don't exist in this universe or live happily with their families)

Cale had acted as trash, but him getting captured and missing at 14 caused everyone to find out the truth, Cale is disappointed(Archie finds it hilarious)

Archie went missing on a mission(which was later found out caused by a mole/traitor). The whale's missed their chaotic commander. Especially his two childhood friends the royals Witira and Paseton.(Shickler sees him as his bratty kid too)

In tboah timeline, Cale and Archie teamed up on certain missions and to cause chaos. They got along surprisingly well after their first meeting, drove the heroes*cough Choi Han cough* mad.

In this AU, Cale and Rosaly are cousins. Choi Han is a knight protecting Crown Prince Alberu. They all become allies/friends eventually.

Archie became friends with Witira and Paseton when they were kids. Archie is a orphan, and does not get along with the other killer whales(some of the Whales are divided up into different tribes, the killer whales are not loyal to Shickler and do not get along with most other whales. They discarded and harmed Archie when he formed a friendship and later loyalty with Shickler's kids, His parents are unknown, but there are rumors his mother is a Lunar Whale and he is a half blood like Paseton..and that was why he was captured/betrayed in the first place).

The Lunar Whales were said to be able to swim amongst the stars. Blessed by the goddess of the moon, they are strong in mana, and were thought to be the best healers in the world, even more than those chosen by the sun god. None have been seen is so long they are thought to be nothing but a fairy tale. but perhaps it isn't?

The Molan family was never attacked and are still going strong. They and the Thames family have worked together for centuries, and Jour asked them to look after her son after she she passed away. They failed when he was captured, but Ron has made it his duty to insure he and his family never fail Cale again.

The Empire is the main 'enemy' but fighting is not the main plot. it's mostly just Cale and Archie learning to heal and rest, etc.

Cale and Archie still cause too much chaos tho. And lots of misunderstandings!

no romance, just lots of family feels, healing and shenanigan's.

[dandytron2000]

Finally finsihed the map for my little dungeon AU Equestria! Now hopefully the name of the AU makes sense lol.

The nature is supported by pony magic in most of the dungeon, except Doom Empire and below that are the domain of Changelings, Chimeras and who knows what other creatures. Another place like this being Everfree Forest and Northern Peaks that are close enough to the overworld to still have overworld-like ecosystem supporting itself just fine. Near the surface mana from the outside seeping in, which ponies call 'Chaos magic'

The Doom Empire ran by Queen Chrysalis and her husband Lord Tirek has been making attempts to leave the dungeon in pursuits of the raw chaos magic from the overworld, but the ponies, driven by something alike natural instinct have been fearlessly containing them in the bottom layers of the dungeon.

Young princess Twilight Sparkle has been questioning the nature of Equestria, why is it so important for her kin to stop anyone from its depths to surface and what exactly is the overworld....

[jacksgreysays]

"soldier, poet, king" + POV of team 7 from someone in the far future, maybe through the lens of a distant descendant build off surviving myths and historical texts

Dear anon, I hope you don’t mind, but I took a gentle step sideways and backwards with this prompt. In my search for all of the royalty!AU posts, I refreshed my memory about Foundation of Yesterday in which DoS/the Elemental Nations is the extremely distant past of FFVII. Coupled with the SOLDIERs of FFVII and my assigning of which member of Team Seven corresponds to which character of FFVII, I think it all combines well with your prompt. Additionally, I couldn’t tell which members of Team Seven I would assign soldier, poet, and king. But it was easy for me to assign solider, poet, and king to their FFVII descendants and then reverse engineer from there. So we get Cloud, obvious Soldier, descendant of blue-eyed blonde, storm and strife. Yuffie as King, inheriting a pendant that summons a sleeping goddess in times of need. And Vincent is less obvious as Poet, but you can probably get into a sort of meditative philosophizing of working for tyrants and falling in love with a scientist only for her to betray you and then going into hibernation and maybe meeting your distant ancestor who is Chaos? Unfortunately, I don’t actually know that much about FFVII—as I’ve never played it, nor the remake—except for what I’ve gleaned from fanfiction and cultural osmosis, lol. And then this does get into the problem, similar to the Fear to Tread (a world unseen) post in that the primary setting/POV of the fic WOULD be the world/characters that I am less accustomed to writing and then making up the history of the world between the events of DoS and FFVII. So I’m going to continue with my gentle sideways and backwards steps and give you this, instead:

~

(king)

When Yuffie finally activates the strange summon materia she inherited from her father, everything goes dark. At first she panics—maybe something went wrong? did she not have enough mana? was she cursed with blindness?—but then little pin pricks of light appear, like distant stars coming ever closer.

She doesn’t see what the summon does exactly, the battle ends so quickly after that, but that doesn’t matter too much considering the summon just… doesn’t leave.

The Shikabane-hime—once the tendrils of star-filled shadows have done their damage and tucked themselves away out of existence—looks human. Like one of Yuffie’s people, a girl far from home, displaced from Wutai, just like her.

But as the other members of the party shift and stare, uncertain as to what it happening, she remembers who exactly she’s looking at. What she is looking at, that is: a summon, inherited from her father, who only showed up now after her homeland has been ruined by ShinRa.

Later, when they have made camp for the night, when the Shikabane-hime has still not disappeared, even though Yuffie’s original mana offering should have long run out, she confronts the summon.

“Where were you?” Yuffie asks in Wutaian so the others can’t understand her. She tries to make it accusatory, tries to sound authoritative, like a proper Princess of Wutai, but she’s afraid it comes out more hurt, plaintive, like a child who realizes that legends are nothing more than stories, than lies. Like the legend that the Shikabane-hime would come in Wutai’s time of need.

The Shikabane-hime tilts its head, gaze sharp but not unkind. Yuffie thinks for a moment, perhaps it can’t understand her, what language do summons speak? Please not Midgarish.

But then the Shikabane-hime answers, “Your father never called for me.” Its gaze, somehow, becoming sharper but also more kind. Concerned, maybe. “Perhaps he did not believe. Perhaps it was not enough of a threat.”

“Not enough of a threat?” Yuffie shouts.

The rest of the party turn their way, hands on their weapons, except for Vincent whose attention had been on the Shikabane-hime the whole time. He waves them off and the others, with reluctance, stand down.

“What do you mean not enough of a threat? ShinRa invaded our homeland. It is a shell of itself! My father—” she cuts herself off before she can say anything else. Before she can realize what else in her childhood is a story, a lie.

“In the future, you will reclaim it, rebuild it,” the Shikabane-hime says, too casual for a command, too simple for a prophecy. “But first, we must ensure there is a future.”

—

(poet)

When Shikako meets the almost familiar red eyes of Vincent Valentine, she does not say the following:

Is he doing okay in there? How did he manage to survive so long? If you could let him know I’m sorry, I miss him. Tell him thank you from me for holding on so long. Too long. Tell him he can let go, that he doesn’t have to stay if it hurts. If he needs to move on, it’s okay. I’ll meet him there when I’m done. And I’ll bring Naruto with me. You can rest now, Sasuke, I’m here now. I’ll see you soon.

When Vincent looks at the Shikabane-hime—

(Kako, Yuffie introduces it as, trying to play it off as just a late coming fellow Wutaian. If the other members of the party make the connection between the godly manifestation of starlit shadows and the normal looking woman following them blandly, they aren’t making a fuss about it, so neither will Vincent.)

—the Chaos inside of him settles into peace.

—

(soldier)

“You resemble your ancestor quite a bit,” Kako says to Cloud during a quiet stretch of their travels. It is the first thing she says to him.

Cloud nods, because what else can he do in response to that—

(Of course nobody believes that Kako is just a normal Wutaian woman, but they’re up against the biggest superpower in the world and also an ancient evil and also an undying Sephiroth while the Planet riots in its attempt to save itself, like a fever willing to burn everything up to stave off the infection.

They’ll take any help they can get, imposter or no. And it’s not as if he has room to talk about that anyway.)

—but he does notice that her eyes are closed as she says this, implying her remark isn’t about a visual resemblance but something else, something deeper.

“He was named after a storm,” she says, and for once her tone changes, the apathy gently flavored with fondness, “but he was truly more like the sun.” Her expression, too, shifts: a small, sad smile gracing her face.

And because Cloud knows what it’s like to lose someone you admired—in both ways, the aching grief of losing an admired person, and the sharp lance of a hero no longer being admirable—he asks her, stumbling “Were you—did you know them well?”

Her eyes open at this, an assessing glance sent his way. Her smile melts away, as if it had never been.

“Yes,” she says, tone flattened once more. “He was a good man and the Planet turned him into a WEAPON.”

Cloud startles. He looks to Aerith as he does whenever Planet and Cetra stuff are brought up, but he finds her face turned away, as if guilty, not wanting to meet his or Kako’s eyes.

“But no need to worry,” Kako says, voice not so much reassuring as it is grimly determined. “I will ensure you do not follow his path too closely.”

To Ganz Gusev: since I saw your character Tamara, I really liked her design and story. But I was curious to know what the function of the "Clear" button on it is. Can you explain to me further! greetings

That is a good question…

Well, the "CLEAR" button has a somewhat peculiar origin and use.

The creation of this button occurred when Empress Toriel fell after sacrificing her life. and among the last minutes of her life in the first line of time. gives Tamara an improvement in her code "Adding the Clear ability" since somehow she would know that her evil brother Emperor Gaster would take advantage of this opportunity to take over the Au with his possible creations if he were to steal her "Staff of Life" already. that with this powerful artifact he would complete his mission of creating evil revenants.

(Temporarily replacing the RESET button that at that time stopped working due to the corruption that the central core of the Au suffered from the Error!Sans attack)

The button has the ability:

1- Purifies the corrupt code of a revenant that is controlled by Emperor Gaster, thus freeing him from the curse of his control, (But this will not make him stop being a revenant, it only redeems him)

2- Within a minimum range it can make people and objects that come from the Au code recover their essence. Be it your HP and buildings. "But it can't revive people" nor does this work with other beings other than Au since Empress Toriel only programmed this to be used in Promised!Tale

3- With this button it also has an important role, since thanks to this. When used against a revenant that has a RESET fragment in its code. This same one will go to Tamara's code to recover her ability. "And when that happens, the timeline gives you permission to have the opportunity to reset an "attempt" with each fragment, bringing back the people who perished in the previous timeline." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And how is it possible for a returnee to have a RESET fragment? It has no logic…

And he has it and it is explained in the comic that each revenant before his death. Tamara in the first timeline when chaos occurred because of Error!Sans. She used the Reset Button to help her mother prevent the Au core from being destroyed. But she had a big consequence that the button couldn't handle the attack and it exploded into fragments. "And at that same moment the revenants who at that moment were humans touched the error glyches when Tamara tried to do the reset and obtained that fragment" Since among the files that were lost these were gathered in their souls, but a very important fact Importantly, after this event, the fragments they had now contained a percentage of size determination. thus denying that their souls were spread across space and time by Error!Sans when they died. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4- By completing the 22 fragments she will be able to fully recover the RESET ability thanks to this button. Having the opportunity to reset the core and recover her world and start from scratch… thus recovering her mother and sisters.

5- The use of this button is very limited. She almost has to limit herself to using it many times since it costs her a lot of "mana" And greetings from Mexico! <3

If you have any can you share some headcanons for your Alagadda au with 049 and 035?

(Sorry if the drawing is crap im sick rn 😭)

049:

-he is (or was) herald of kul-manas, they are not exactly the same entity, they rather are "reincarnations" of each-other

-his name is Louis Nicéphore!

-he has a "disease" caused by 035 wich left him a huge scar that looks like a black thunder

035:

-he was exhiled from the olympus (hence my fanfic name) and ended up in alagadda, in wich he tried to take over the throne but failed miserably

-their name is Dýo Polonoí

-she can control multiple hosts without wearing them but need some knowledge about their psyche

Both 035 and 049:

-they are polar opposites, order and chaos, yet they attract each-other in every "life" they get

-both the hanged king and the ambassador need 049 (kul-manas) to travel through dimentions, hence why he is a wanderer/messenger

[Image ID: several colored digital sketches of different Sonic the Hedgehog characters, each redesigned to resemble a corresponding Yu-Gi-Oh! character. A logo in the top left reads "Heart of the Chaos", with text under it saying "A Sonic the Hedgehog x Yu-Gi-Oh! AU".

On the top half of the page is a lineup of characters. First on the left is Sonic as Atem, wearing his outfit from Millennium World - a cream robe, a red cape, and a gold crown. He also wears matching gold bracelets on his ankles, wrists, and upper arms, as well as a gold belt and gold earrings. Around his neck hangs on a Chaos Emerald on a necklace. The Emerald is pale yellow, almost translucent. Sonic has his fists on his hips, his legs spread apart, and a cocky grin on his face.

Next to Sonic is Blaze as Mahad. She wears a cream robe, a gold belt, a gold necklace and bracers, and a gold headpiece. Attached to the headpiece over her forehead is a pale oval jewel, the same color as Sonic's Chaos Emerald. Blaze stands with her arms folded, looking at Sonic with a fondly amused smile.

Third in the lineup is Marine as Mana. She wears Mana's outfit - a plain cream dress with a gold belt, gold necklace, and a white cloth headpiece. She leans towards Blaze, fists up and grinning widely.

Next is (an alternate timeline) Silver as the Thief King. He wears a blood red cloak over plainer cream robes. He has a pink burn scar over his left eye, and circular scars are burned into his palms. He stands with arms spread, glaring down at someone unseen.

Last is Tikal as Kisara. She wears a cream crop top of sorts, a cream skirt with blue hem, and leather sandals with wraps going up her legs. Similar wraps are on several of her flowing quills. A colorful beaded necklace is around her neck. She has one hand to her chest as she looks up with determination, eyes glowing blue.

In the bottom left corner of the page is a drawing of Marine as Mana, jumping with her arms spread and a wide smile on her face.

Finally, in the bottom right is a sequence with Blaze and Sonic. Blaze points aggressively at Sonic as Atem, growling "If you sacrifice yourself, I swear to Solaris no afterlife will save you from me." Sonic raises his hands in defense with a sheepish smile, saying "ok, ok!"

Text reads "3000 years later". Blaze looms behind Sonic, who is now possessing the form of Tails. Amy looks at her uncertainly while Sonic stares straight ahead with an expression of terror. Flames backlight Blaze as she glares down at him and says "I warned you." /end ID]

and that's the end of the Sonic/Yu-Gi-Oh! drawings for now. there may actually be some lore developing here?? wild.

The Only Reason _ Part 3

[Yandere!Sung Jinwoo x Worker!Reader - Mana Chaos AU]

Part 1 — Part 2 — Part 3 (here)

“Sung Jinwoo is an S-Rank Hunter…”

“Another one…”

“It’s been 2 years since Cha Hae-In too.”

Nowadays, the emergence of an S-Rank Hunter and some A-Rank Hunters was like a demon had crawled out of hell and into the human world to cause destruction. Strong Hunters were seen and painted as a double-edged sword. On one hand, they could bring about peace to normal—non-awakened—individuals by closing gates and raiding dungeons. On the other hand, they could bring about destruction in their wake due to <Outrage> and the innocence would be harmed. 

Protocols like an awakened Hunter must report to the EMI instead of the Hunter Association because they have to keep track of stronger Hunters. Hunters must continuously measure their mana levels in case of a reawakening into a higher rank. It was unavoidable, no matter which country, because they prioritized ordinary people more. 

Perhaps the only place where EMI regulations can’t touch is America. After what Thomas Andre had done, he singlehandedly protected his fellow Hunters and announced to the EMI that they couldn’t have their way with people who worked to protect them from the dangers known as gates and dungeons. There were some Hunters that escaped to America to join Thomas and his stance, there were also some that were unluckily caught by the EMI, and some that didn’t do anything. Such is the sway of a National Level Hunter. 

Unlike Thomas, who had no weaknesses to use against, Jinwoo was different. His family, his mother and younger sister, were dependent on the society and their system. So, against his better judgement, Jinwoo bowed to the whims of the EMI and was taken in as SM-10. 

In the facility, he underwent several tests to draw a profile for him since he was fundamentally different from his E-Rank file. Anyone could see at a glance. Jinwoo kept his cards hidden because the more capable he was, the greater the danger his loved ones would be in. He was doing everything for his family. Upon capture, he was promised that his family would receive financial support so long as he behaved himself. 

A cowardly but effective threat and compromise that he agreed. 

Still, he hated the people who worked in this accursed building. All those labourers who hid behind a mask and voice changer donned uniforms that displayed their station. Throughout his days, he observed a few groups of workers. 

First was the type that he frequently came into contact with: Guard. As their station name, they guarded things, from equipment to rooms and even Hunter cells. They were the ones that handled conflict and violence, even the heavy lifting, if any. Those who were higher ranked were called Warden; however, he only saw them during his testing sessions when they were making his profile. They all wear black masks—Warden’s mask is black with a white scratch mark over the right eyehole—and black soldier uniforms.

Second was the type that constantly changes to the point he doesn’t even keep track of: Supervisor. Contrary to their high-standing title, they do the smallest and most insignificant tasks, like delivering supplies, checking Hunter cells, and being an owl so passing messages. They were low-ranking workers that most wouldn’t bat an eye to if gone. Perhaps that’s why they have a grey uniform and a grey mask. Their code went as high as the hundreds, going to the thousands. 

Third was the type that he hated most: Investigator or Researcher. They were the ones who administered the tests and punishments to the Hunters, and they monitored them inside their cell. Under their glances, a Hunter is reduced to a mere lab rat. They were individuals connected to the EMI but needed to be more important to make a—any—difference in the building. However, they were respected in some sense because some did aim for the betterment of the Hunters staying in the building. They wear a white mask with a mocking grin and a white uniform, complete with a lab coat.

Last was the type that intrigued him the most: Personnel. Though their code suggests they have people in the hundreds, there was actually only a handful of them in the building. The highest number he saw was 12. They were the ones with the most authority and well-respected individuals among the other groups, their work and station varied from individual to individual. They were the ones that stayed in the building the longest, and a new Personnel would only join their ranks if they carried confidential information about the EMI. 

One would notice there doesn’t seem to be a highest position or individual, but the Personnel were the ones who acted as the say of the facility. None had absolute power to keep each other in check, and in case a threat was targeted, if one fell, the other would continue in the other’s place. The smaller the number, the bigger their authority, it seems. 

Personnel 001 was once his observer during the tests, when he could let loose. After all the observation and boredom, Jinwoo accidentally killed them and was quickly restrained. He paid close attention to what happened. Would another observe him? Would there be a new Personnel in their ranks? What would happen?

Turns out, you happened.

Personnel’s clothing is ever-changing. They have free reign over what they want to wear; needless to say, they have no uniform. They only have to wear a lab coat over their usual outfits, and that’s it. One could mistake them for Investigators, but the distinct code would be shown on their coat at the area over their heart. They have a white mask with reflective black glasses covering their eyeholes. 

Yet when you came in, you were void of that mask that hides one’s expression and face. Still, your poker face was impressive. You appeared expressionless and reminded him of a doll. You neither introduced yourself nor showcased your station, different from Personnel 001, who was practically shouting at him that they were the ones in power in this facility. At first glance, he knew you were different from all the rest. 

“You’re hiding your cards. SM-10.” Your words held knowledge and confidence, stating a fact rather than questioning him. Your arm hugged a black clipboard with a small stack of papers clipped while your other hand held a pen. If you weren’t wearing a lab coat, you’d appear like a strict teacher or lab researcher.

He couldn’t help but let a smile spread over his lips, “What makes you think that?”

“You’re holding back.” You turned to the Guards stationed within the cell to leave you alone. Yes, a Personnel has the authority to be alone with a Hunter, but if it were a Supervisor, they must be with at least two to three Guards. “You killed Personnel 001, why? Be honest.”

There was a shine in your eyes that he noticed. He couldn’t tell what it was, though he wanted to be coy. “You’re not the only ones observing. Why not make it mutual?”

That was his first meeting with you. 

With his Shadows, he watched you and your daily activities. You were practically glued to your work; you came to work early but left late. You have a good relationship with the other coworkers, and most respect you, evident by the nodding heads you receive in the hallways. You also seem to care for Hunters in their cells, inspecting the cell quality and making things more bearable for Hunters like him. 

Thanks to him, more and better changes happened after Personnel 001 was removed. By then, he figured out that whether it was a company setting or a guild setting, 001 was the guild master, and you were the vice master. Once 001 was gone, you had more authority and implemented changes, of course, with the agreement of your other Personnel co-workers. 

In that case, that makes you a lot more interesting. You realized his strength and power, you wanted an improved and more sophisticated place for Hunter, different from how the facility was supposed to be, and you have been treating everyone human. 

Jinwoo concluded that he wanted to stay and get closer to you. With you in charge, his family was practically safe as well. He’ll stay and protect your spot at the top. Yet why were you pushing him away? It infuriated him. Still, he was thankful for the other Personnels’ fear over setting an S-Rank loose in public that he could prove to you how wrong you were to fight for his release.

While showing his point, he reduced the Personnel to perhaps 6 remaining—that already includes you. From 12 to 6, he cut off 4, and then there was 001 as well, so one Personnel died through other means. Either way, he made his point.

You were the only Personnel he liked and could resolve his <Outrage>.

That already bound you to him, and none would harm you unless they wanted the country to fall to ruins. 

The two of you share secrets, and slowly, he got you to open up, showing only him a side of you that you hide behind an invisible mask. You’re the only one for him, he’ll make it so that he’s the only one for you. 

He realized that his emotions and feelings for you turned a bit twisted over time. That Guard 149 that stared at you a little too long? Their leg was somehow caught between the double doors, so they can’t work here anymore, right? That Investigator 083 that was standing so close to you that your arms were touching? An experiment backfired and their arms were amputated. Another Guard that is coded 761 was asking you out? They got into a car accident and died. 

Jinwoo was careful. You never pointed fingers at him nor suspected it was him at all. You were very naive and innocent; he loves that about you. You care for your workers, yet at the same time, you also don’t. He got his answer when he finally communicated with the other S-Rank Hunters during the end of the Jeju Raid.

“Personnel 002? Oh, I’d say that person cares about Hunters more.”

“Haha, Personnel 002 has been very accommodating, unlike the other ones.”

“You can’t compare Personnel 002 with the others, it’s not a fair comparison.”

“I always enjoy my time with Personnel 002.”

“You’re lucky SM-10, I wish I could have Personnel 002 come to my place often.”

The other S-Rank Hunters only had good things to say about you. As expected, you were biased against Hunters and silently helped them more. Though, he was more enraptured to hear you giving him special care and attention. In private, his smile grew wide as he chuckled to himself. “Ah… You’ll be the death of me… Personnel 002.”

Note: Ta da! Part 3's out and this is Jinwoo's side of the story, if it wasn't obvious to you!! A bit of boring history, but it's what it is~ Hope you guys liked this one!

[hanakihan]

In Absolute Being AU it’s interesting how Jinwoo and Jinchul’s progression differs

Jinwoo was gradually growing into his strength having time and space to figure it all out and practice even having literal guiding material with him all the time

Jinchul in this case is completely opposite: he wasn’t growing into his strength, it just hit him like a truck at critical moment, he has no one to guide him through his own ‘can’ and ‘cannot’, he has no guide and no idea what to do with it all

Ashborn’s strength allowed Jinwoo to bloom and take roots, while Absolute Being’s, while creational in it’s core, literally hurts Jinchul.

Jinchul’s health started to become worse even more than usual, some S rankers can feel that something is wrong with his mana, it’s in state of chaos and unrest as opposed to usually calm and stoic one. And then one day nothing seemingly is wrong until Gunhee notices that Jinchul is having a strong nosebleed, Jinchul just touches his leaking blood like ‘oh’ and then he just half coughs half chokes half spits splutter of blood and it’s an absolute mess.

Jinchul’s mana pretty much slowly tears and eats him from inside because human body isn’t supposed to host literal god in it. And since AB’s unlimited pools of mana slowly absorb Jinchul’s, it’s ain’t helping either, and Jinchul himself just can’t take this wild force under his control without outside assistance but from where?

Ashborn is helpful beyond any reason, Jinwoo is gradually becoming more panicking but old man is here on back of his consciousness giving instructions and explanations. Jinwoo felt his shadows that he assigned to Jicnhul being unrest and panicking and he instantly teleports here only to see Gunhee trying to keep Jinchul standing and leaning forward so he won’t choke on his own blood he just keeps coughing out. There’s so much of it, Gunhee’s hands and chest is covered in it, there’s small pool of it on floor, and then Jinchul lifts his head greeting Jinwoo with ‘Ah, good day, hunter Sung’ with hoarse bubbling voice and Jinwoo wants to yell (Ashborn later notes that he did yell extremely loudly inside) because Junchul’s lower half of face is completely smeared in blood, his suit has so much of it that it seems even darker. Man is extremely pale and barely focusing his eyes on Jinwoo’s face and Jinwoo can see how prominent shadows on Jinchul’s face are.

Jinwoo just grabbing Jinchul’s face no questions asked and starts to tune this wild strength in man while making sure that Jinchul coughs out all the blood from lungs. And then Jinchul’s breathing evens, all three stand here still on adrenaline and Jinchul just tiredly closes his eyes for a minute only to fall asleep, Jinwoo and Gunhee silently agree that today Jinchul is having a day off.

Sonic Pantheon AU: A Quick Summary

So, this is actually a pretty old AU that dates all the way back to when I first made this blog (so over a whole year ago). Back then it was about Sonic & Friends + the Deadly Six joining forces against a cursed god of ice and winter "accidentally" unleashed by Eggman. I've had it on the back burner for a while and more characters have been added over time, so I figured I'd bring it back around.

Title: Sonic Pantheon

Theme(s): Adventure, Friendship, Mythology

Canon Characters: ... Everyone? Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Team Dark, Team Chaotix, Whisper, Tangle, Belle, Eggman, Orbot, Cubot, Metal Sonic, the Deadly Six, Scratch & Grounder & Coconuts, Bocoe & Decoe & Bokkun

Original Characters: Boreas the Cursed Winter, Piia the Trickster, Mother Agnes, The Great Storm, Malda the Pestilence Witch, Royal Seer Manas, Adored Désiré, ∅

Summary: Throughout ancient times, many have attempted to harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Few have succeeded. Fewer still have left their name in History- but the Seven who did so are known as The Pantheon. Seven individuals of frightening reputation ; seven gods without worship ; and seven potential ways to take over the world- or so Eggman believes. Unfortunately for him fallen gods aren't that easy to keep under control- especially when an eigth one is about to make an entrance.

the seven schools of ravenwood

Ever since Wizard City had fallen into chaos, students of Ravenwood were encouraged to fight off the creatures. Professors had used the opportunity to offer it as extra credit, gathering experience in battle. So like the rest of the school, you joined in, sticking to the streets of your home, Triton Avenue. You fought against the rotting fodders and scarlet screamers tooth and nail, but they kept coming and coming, pouring out of the Haunted Cave. It was a tireless cycle, leaving you constantly drained.

Low on mana and too tired to run around chasing whisps, you trudged over to the Fair Grounds. It was an easy way to fill up on mana and earn potion refills, making for easy health and mana recharging whilst away on quests.

Walking over towards a tent, you picked up a couple rings from the table. The game was easy enough, just toss all your rings onto an old glass bottle. You threw one, two, three rings out over the bottles but none caught on. You did the game again. Tossing the rings one, two, three and just barely hitting the bottle the third time. You let out a frustrated groan, hitting the wooden table as another three rings flew down towards you. 

“Want some help?”

You threw your head around, meeting the eyes of a Storm student. You’ve seen him around before; hard to miss him with his black and purple hair. Not many people decided to rock multiple color combinations. 

“This game is impossible,” you grumbled.

“Not really, there’s just a little trick to it,” the Diviner explained, taking the three rings. Sticking out his tongue and angling his arm at a particular position, he threw the first ring. It landed. He threw the second and the third, both landing on the bottles. “See?” 

“Show off,” you grumbled as you folded your arms, eyeing him closely. “How did you do that?”

“I’m sorry, that’s a trade secret. Only my most trusted friends are told,” he smirked.

“How does one become one of your most trusted friends, pray tell?”

You saw a glimmer in his eyes, a bright spark of electricity that’s only seen in diviners as he held out his hand. “Shake my hand.”

You rolled your eyes at him, but you took his hand.

“Hoseok Thundershard, at your service.” 

“Y/N Griffineyes.”

“Pleasure to make your acquaintance,” he said. “Now as one of my most trusted friends, you must promise to never tell another soul. Understood?”

“Understood,” you huffed with a smile. Sure he was a bit over the top but it was almost charming. Almost.

“Good. Now, you want to angle your arm to throw up, but only use your wrist to toss the ring. Like this.” As he spoke, he took the position again, flicking his wrist and sending the ring soaring.

“Is sticking your tongue out also a requirement?” You laughed, noticing how he had stuck his tongue out again.

“What? No, uh-” His cheeks turned red at your teasing. “That’s just a me thing,” he shyly confessed. “You try.” Hoseok took a step back, allowing you to take the second shot. 

Taking the rings in hand, you tried to mimic his stance. With a flick of your wrist, you sent the ring flying. But instead of landing on the bottle, it hit the glass, tumbling to the ground. 

“Stars!” You hissed.

“You’re doing it wrong, here.” Hoseok moved to stand behind you. Your breath hitched at the sudden closeness as he placed the ring into your hand. Gently, he wrapped his hand around your wrist, angling your arm and wrist. “Keep your wrist around hip level, and angle up. Try again.”

You tossed the ring again, this time the ring landed on the bottle. “I did it!”

“Yeah, you did!” Hoseok cheered.

“Thank you,” you smiled at him, feeling lighter than you were a few mere minutes ago.

“It’s no biggie.” He shrugged as the two of you left the tent, ready to refill your potions in the front. “The games can be a bit tricky, they say they’re not rigged but some definitely are.”

“You could say that again,” you chuckled airly. Both of you refilled your potions bottles, but if you were being honest, you weren’t quite ready to leave your new friend. “Say, do you want to. . . do something? Maybe?”

“What did you have in mind?”

You stuttered in your steps, remembering that there’s actually not that much to do nowadays. The Fireglobe Theatre has been closed for a few months now, and you didn’t exactly feel like challenging your new friend to a duel. . . “Wanna go fishing?”

There the two of you sat on the grassy area in the commons beside the pond, fishing poles in hand. It was a boring activity for sure, but at least it was somewhat relaxing. 

“Gotta say, never really fished before but it’s peaceful. Nice way to unwind after everything,” Hoseok sighed blissfully.

“It is,” you agreed. “Picked up the habit ever since the streets started getting taken over.”

“What did you used to do?”

“Used to spend a lot of time at the theatre, watched a lot of the fire elf shows.”

“Do you live in Firecat Alley?” He asked, curious.

“No,” you shook your head. “Triton Avenue. I just have a love of theatre, plus Prince Alicane Swiftarrow puts on a great show. Why do you ask?”

“I grew up there. Thought I might’ve seen you around,” he answered. “But I do agree with you, Swiftarrow is a great actor as are the other fire elves.”

“Yeah,” you smiled, remembering one of the last shows the fire elves put on, A Comedy of Fizzles. “I gotta ask. . . do you stick out your tongue in battle too?”

The tips of Hoseok’s ears turned red, he kept his eyes trained on his fishing pole. “I uh, so I’ve been told. It’s stupid, I know. But it’s just a weird habit I’ve kept up.”

“I think it’s cute,” you winked at him. 

His jaw dropped in shock, but before he could speak, his line started tugging. “Oh, stars!” He hissed as he started reeling in his line, fast as he could. “Come on. . . come on. . .” You watched on in excitement as he pulled in his catch. With one final pull, Hoseok yanked the fish out of the water, revealing a sharkspeare. “I- uh, wow!”

“Congrats, Hoseok!” You smiled as he summoned a bucket, placing his catch inside. “That’s impressive. You sure you haven’t fished before?”

“Completely, first ever catch!”

“I wish I was that lucky,” you sighed, feigning jealousy. 

Overhead, the ringing of the curfew bell sounded. You lost track of time, just now noticing how low the sun hung in the sky. 

“Oh, guess I’ll see you around then?” You asked as you stood up, gathering your fishing supplies in your hands. 

“Of course, you’re now one of my most trusted friends, afterall,” he chuckled, picking up his catch of the day. “If you ever need help with anything, fair games or battles, feel free to call me,” he said as he handed you something. It was a communication ring. 

“I will.” You nodded. “See you around!” You said as you headed back towards the dormitory, whilst Hoseok directed himself towards the Shopping District. 

“Later!”

Unfortunately, you don’t manage to see Hoseok again or find a need to call him. You sucked yourself into your studies, fearing falling behind, especially since you were so close to transferring to Krokotopia. You didn’t think about going back out to battle. But you did think about calling him; of maybe asking him to join you on one of your study days (he was a diviner, maybe he could spare a few tips and tricks). But instead, you kept to yourself, only looking down at the ring longingly.

Until one evening it started to glow.

“Y/N? Are you there?” Hoseok’s voice emanated through the purple stone, sounding frantic.

“Yeah, what’s going on?”

“Uh, got myself in a bit of a pickle, to say the least,” he huffed as the familiar crackling sounds of magic and lightning were heard behind him. “Sohomer asked me to help with the. . . Kraken issue going on. I’m running low on mana, think you could help me out?”

You didn’t even need to think twice. Grabbing your spell deck and wand, you twisted the ring around your finger, teleporting you to Hoseok’s location. Swirlings of dust and lightning swirled around you, consuming your vision. Just as soon as it appeared, the dust fell away, revealing Hoseok facing off the Kraken in battle, the everpresent thunder clouds of Triton Avenue overhead. 

Immediately, you ran towards Hoseok, taking place beside him on the battle sigil. In front of you was the fearsome Kraken that lived in the caves beneath the city. You’d spent most of your childhood admiring the creature whenever it crawled out from its hiding place between Four Falls Mills so to see it up close was both terrifying and awe inspiring. If it wasn’t actively trying to kill your friend, you would’ve thought it a thing of beauty. 

“How in all of the Spiral, did you end up here?” You shouted, pulling out your spell deck.

“Sohomer asked me to do a favor and that led to another favor, and another favor. . .” He responded, summoning another spark, barely hitting the creature. “Been using no mana spells to try and break it down bit by bit, but I need a heavy hitter. . . I don’t have enough for it myself!”

Eyeing through your deck, you knew exactly what spell to cast, but you’d need to build up to it in order for it to take down the Kraken. With a wave of your wand, you drew out the scales of your school, and a Balance blade formed over your head, circling around you.

After your turn, the creature waved his hand, the divination symbol appearing in front of him. A thunderous cloud formed overhead, screeching echoed as three lightning bats appeared out of the darkness, swirling around Hoseok. He let out a grunt as he covered his head, trying to cover himself from the attack.

“Any time now would be appreciated!” 

“Alright!” Once it was your turn again, you waved your wand, summoning the Judgment. The seraph flew out from the center of the battle sigil, sword and scales in hand. You and Hoseok stared up at her with baited breath as she clanged her sword against the scales, sparking at the Kraken. The creature wailed, falling back at the hit before crawling back into its cave. Defeated.

Both of you stood there for a moment, panting in the aftermath of the battle. 

“I hope. . . whatever Sohomer needed was worth all that.”

“Oh yeah, definitely.” Hoseok held up a fully charged storm crystal. 

You looked at one another, quiet before both of you bursting into tired laughter. “Well. . . guess we could cross the Kraken off our bucket lists,” you huffed as you and Hoseok started back towards the exit portal, back towards the Storm Mill.

“You could say that again,” Hoseok chuckled. “But you really saved me back there, thank you.”

You gave a shrug. “You would’ve done the same for me.”

“Tell you what: after Sohomer gives me that reward, we head to the fairgrounds. I think we deserve some time off.” He shot you a wink as he spoke.

Feeling heat rush to your cheeks, you nodded. “Sounds like a plan.”

"Modern"-style AU where Emil runs a food blog where he posts lots of tips for cooking and has photos of fun stuff like apples carved into the shapes of monsters

He's a co-mod along with Ratatosk on an "is the monster video cute?" type blog where they discuss videos, images, etc. about monster husbandry and how to care properly for any species of monster.

(Anybody who asks for qualifications gets an annoyed "I'm the fucking LORD of MONSTERS dipshit!" from Ratatosk. People assume this is a bit until there's a livestream showing him forming a monster out of mana one time, this causes a LOT of chaos)

You can tell even without a mod-ID who is answering a question because Ratatosk is a lot more direct and often aggressive (at least on questionable or bad husbandry) and Emil is a lot more polite and careful in his wording
