Ryan always did science in his underwear. Clothes embodied society’s restrictions upon the human spirit, the crushing power of civilization attempting to make the individual fit into the mold. But by being mostly naked, Ryan reconnected with his creativity, unbound by conformity; while his boxers represented his lingering attachment to his mental stability, preventing him from going completely off the rails. The one time Ryan had worked completely naked, he ended up building his rabbit plushie. Also,…-

It was May 8th, 2020 for the third time, and Ryan had already caused two traffic accidents. He blamed the people of New Rome for this. The city’s inhabitants were as nervous as coffee addicts in the morning, and drove their cars like monkeys out for his blood. Moving on the walkway would have been safer. Thankfully, he had saved right before passing the Driving his highly customized red Plymouth Fury, Ryan stopped right before a tank truck would have hit him to the left, dodged a Owing to its…

"So, how'd it go over there?" Samuel asked with a smug grin, as he leaned back in Hari's body. Eisen looked at the half-dragon knights around him and told them to move out of the way, so that he could properly look at the man sitting across from him. The old man glared slightly, "It went well-enough. Figured out that I can use my royal authority there too," he pointed out, and Samuel stayed silent for a few moments, "What... What did you just say?" he finally let out, before standing up from his seat.…-

Benjamin dropped down onto the couch and buried his face in his hand, trying to think about what he should do next. He just threatened a swat team to run away like they were kids in a slightly too realistic haunted house. "What did you just do?" Tony stood in front of his father, who slowly looked up, "...I know, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done it. I reacted too impulsively, so I just..." "No, that's not what I mean, dad. What... what was that? What you did, they were... was that some magic thing?"…

Benjamin jumped out of the capsule, right in time to hear a knock on the front door from the distance. Without hesitation, he ran through the room and pushed the door open. With a loud creak, one of the hinges bent, coming close to jumping out of the doorframe. The old man looked through the hallway and at its end could see Tony approach the front door to see who it was. But Benjamin quickly yelled out to him, "No, stop!" Confused, Tony turned around, "What are you-" Before he was able to finish…

Eisen slightly adjusted the way that he was sitting. He didn't know whether it was because he simply wasn't used to sitting cross-legged while in a suit, or because he was just made to think about something he hadn't even really considered, but he was feeling incredibly, ridiculously uncomfortable right now. Of course, Eisen had tried to think about the fact that he must have done a ridiculous amount of things in the past. Hell, he knew for a fact that he had numerous children in his hundred thousand…

Tari weaved through the crowd in front of him that had gathered in the large tent at the center of the settlement. It was like this nearly every day, since people gathered here for communal dinners most of the time, but it was still a bit too early for that. "Calm down, everyone," the chieftain sat cross-legged at the other side of the room, her eyes closed as she tried to think about everything she was being told. "But Madr, that is an army out there!" one of the nervous members of this community…

Eisen flew through the air, making sure to keep an eye out on the surroundings in search for their last stop before heading to the giant country's capital. You would think that the town that a giant chieftain lived in would be easy to find, but these giants were a rare exception. Long ago, they were called the Plains Giant Clan, but for the past few thousand years, they have lived by the name of 'Nomad Giants'. It was a much better fitting name, since they weren't necessarily restricted to the plains…

"Killing Giants and slaying Dragons, that is the sort of thing that artificials put as their goals?!" The Bralfam's mountainous voice poured out of his throat, in disbelief and anger. Eisen slowly nodded in response, "Of course. As they live here, Artificials tend to have grandiose goals. Mostly related to fame, fortune and power; basically, the flashier, the better. And there's little that can be called as grand as Dragons and Giants." "All... all Artificials live like that..?" "Nearly all. There's…

The Bralfam was different to many of the other clan chiefs, that much was clear from the first moment that Eisen met him. He had expected to be doubted by most of them, and someone like the Cloud Giant chieftain that simply believed him would most likely not appear again either. But the Bralfam was able to ignore his own doubts, and realized that if a king visited, then it had to be a serious situation. Generally, if it was anyone beside Eisen, then the Grandour's reaction would have led to a war pretty…
