I wake up feeling a lot better in the morning before putting on a sports bra and changing out my tank top and shorts for regular pants and a shirt, along with whatever else I need just to move around my suite. Then I quickly head over to the living room of my suite where I make a quick breakfast while listening to the TV. “Breaking news! The Guardians Research Team has broken up!” a reporter declares on the TV, making me pause for a moment as I make scrambled eggs. “As of last night, the Guardians…-

The knowledge of that just washes over me and I can’t help but lose my strength and fall to the ground. A prophecy. I was abandoned. Because of a prophecy. Nearly an entire minute passes in silence, the two seemingly not speaking and Allen and Cynthia staying quiet as well since they can’t talk. Eventually I manage to life my head to look at White and Tar, just to find White looking at me with both longing and regret plastered all over her face. I stare for a few seconds before my face hardens into…

No matter how I look at her, White looks so similar to me it hurts. She has the same frame, about the same height, same long hair even if hers is stark white while mine is black and red, same face, and even the same figure as me that Belle is always complimenting purely to see me blush. Despite both me and Belle having about the same figures, even if I most of the time purposefully wear clothes that hide my body to not attract that sort of attention unlike her. White’s even wearing similar clothes……

Lauren was not happy when she heard of her most recent assignment. Not happy at all. But now that she is standing on the rooftop of a nearby building looking down at the window of the restaurant her target is at with her… family? Pseudo family? With her loved ones, her interest raises ever so slightly. Not enough for her to consider this job anything but a waste of time, but at least she might get to have a little bit of fun. More fun than simply disintegrating a pathetic little girl who’s only at…

The second day of the Primary tournament draws to a close about an hour later after the last battle ends with Lost being victorious, following which all of the remaining participants – me included – appear on a large tower at the center of the stadium. And then Black’s voice begins to echo across the stadium, “And that make for our nineteenth participant moving onto the fifth round! But before we close out for the evening, why don’t we have a little looksie at the brackets for the next…

I can’t help but grin as Crim and I circle around each other while in the middle of a dark cavern illuminated by nothing but some sort of glowing moss on the walls and my own glowing red eyes. But despite the darkness in the cavern, I can see pretty clearly in it. Not as clearly as I would see during the day, but clearly enough. Just like how I can see in the Fractures despite most of the lights being off in the buildings. A very convenient change brought about by both my awakening and my leveling…

“I want to reroll,” I grumble as I sit in my chair inside of my private booth while crossing my arms and glaring at the brackets like that will change the free pass that I got making me skip the third round. “This is unfair.” “I’m pretty sure most people would be wanting the free pass, not complaining about it…” Allen mutters as he looks at me from his seat next to me with an amused look on his face, the man having randomly come by to visit at some point. Unlike the others who are all…

I spend a rather peaceful couple of hours watching battles before I’m teleported into the arena myself. And surprisingly, I immediately find my opponent standing directly across from me, the two of us being on a large, circular platform over the top of a volcano. Supersonic is wearing a black and yellow jump suit that honestly looks rather odd and a little too tight, but the moment the countdown reaches zero, they turn into a blur of black and yellow lightning. Before they can attack me though, I…

“So after that, I walked right up to him and said, ‘I’m sorry, but I don’t think my boyfriend would take kindly to you asking me out,’” Belle finishes saying before she, Emily, and Denise all break out into laughter. “You should’ve seen his face afterwards! It was priceless!!!” “I’ll bet!” Denise says while almost crying. Meanwhile Emily just flops onto her back while laughing her little head off. After a few seconds of this I remove one of my hands from the pillow I was hugging…

After leaving the pod dock hub building, I make my way through the falling snow towards the top class residential area while keeping an eye on my surroundings for any assassins or bounty hunters. Because there have been a couple of those over the past few days. Nothing more than nuisances though. Except that first one that is. But he was turned into a paste by a certain psychopathic squid man. One who happens to be my uncle. I never did hear anything on the news about that. So I guess the government…
