Dusty Springfield Pulp

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel. [The Birth of a Hero]. [The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent. I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located. The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins. The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp. “…This is going to be a problem.” I feel like something serious has happened to me. But it was worth trying to make this my new life. DISCLAIMER: I am neither the author nor translator of the story. Please support author on official site. Translation credit: Eatapplepies

The right key can open any door — but not every door should be opened. Hidden between streets that don’t appear on any map lies The Oddities Shop — a place that calls to the lost, the desperate, and the daring. Its dusty shelves overflow with peculiar trinkets, forgotten heirlooms, and odd possessions that seem to stir when no one is looking. The shopkeeper, the elusive Mr. Nox, welcomes every visitor with a knowing smile and a question that lingers long after they leave: “Are you sure this is what you’re looking for?”

In a world not too different from our own, humanity stirs from its slumber to the sound of the Awakening. Picture this: one sunny morning, everyone pours their coffee, only to discover that their favorite house pet has morphed into a fire-breathing dragon. Yep, it's that kind of day. This peculiar phenomenon brings mana—a whimsical, binding energy that makes the wildest dreams (and nightmares) come alive. Ordinary plants sprout fangs, while cats take to the skies as sleek griffins. It’s a magical pandemonium out there! Amidst this unexpected transformation, some creatures we've only seen in bedtime stories are crashing the party like they own the place. Dragons are zooming through the skies, and leviathans are throwing epic ocean raves, shaking the depths of the seas. But there's always a catch, right? Sadly, these creatures, now strutting their stuff, seem to think humans are more of a nuisance than a treat. Imagine trying to explain to a dragon that you’re not a threat; it might be a tough sell after your last encounter involved a singed eyebrow. Enter our unlikely hero, or rather, anti-hero: Kael Ravencrest. This chap was once a reclusive scholar, deeply engrossed in dusty tomes, probably muttering about the good old days when monsters were merely figments of imagination. But lo and behold! The Awakening kicks him into high gear, and he morphs from bookworm to badass. Armed with the nifty skill of summoning, Kael can call forth powerful creatures. Let’s be real, it’s like Pokémon on steroids. However, life isn’t just about flexing your new powers—Kael's backstory features a cocktail of personal losses and emotional baggage that would make even the toughest of toughies weep. He's seen his home charred to cinders by a rampaging hydra, a once-believed myth that now insists on hosting BBQs in the middle of civilization. The kicker? He’s haunted by dreams of a lost city and whispers of an ancient prophecy that may just hold the key to humanity finding its footing—if it doesn’t get stepped on by a troll first. As he grapples with the oncoming chaos, Kael teeters on the edge of despair and hope. Is there a way for humans and fantastical beings to share this enchanted playground, or are we all just destined to crumble under the wings of a dragon? Only time—and perhaps a couple of well-placed summoning spells—will tell. So, raise your coffee cups and prepare for a rollercoaster ride through ancient lore and contemporary calamity, because Kael is about to make history… or, you know, rewrite it with a flourish.

Bang! The orc stepped forward, his heart burning with passion and desire as he bellowed with a demonic and distorted voice. "I am the Sovereign of Dread, foul Daemons. This is MY world!

Because it is not what I have described, what I have described is the mortal concept of infinity, the mathematical concept of it, but not the true realization of it. Infinity is an undeniable law that governs reality, Infinity is the Elder God that watches over the very fabric of reality itself. Infinity is everybody and nobody, everything and nothing. But, Infinity is also a person. A lonely queen on top of a dusty throne, she sits there in the infinite void that rests between reality's, awaiting something. She waited, hoping for it to finally come... "Ah... Is that? Is he finally here?"

In the dusty, gloom-shrouded streets of Neo-Tokyo, where sunlight barely managed to filter through the rubble and ruined buildings, an eerie silence hung over the city. In this post-apocalyptic world, where survival was an art and power determined everything, stood a singular man, masked and shrouded in shadows. Kaito Yukimura, known in the underworld as the "Shadow of the Desert," strode steadily through the dark alleys, his modern gas mask hiding his face and his black-and-white jacket billowing behind him like a banner of mystery and elegance in a desolate world. His reputation preceded his presence, his movements were silent but lethal, and his presence was a constant reminder that, in this world of chaos and despair, there were those who still maintained control in the shadows. On this particularly dark night, Kaito was on a secret mission, chasing a rumor that floated in the whispers of the alleys. A rumor of a lost artifact, a treasure hidden in the depths of the city, that promised power and wealth for those brave or desperate enough to seek it out. And so, with his fate entwined with the dark threads of Neo-Tokyo, Kaito stepped into the shadows once again, ready to face the dangers that lurked around every corner and uncover the secrets hidden in the darkest corners of the city.

In a dark alley, obscured from the prying eyes of people, the muffled grunts of a shadowy figure beaten to a pulp were barely visible. Four hooded figures were standing around the bloody figure on the ground as he looked up in hate. Kraign struggled to his feet, his face mangled beyond recognition. "All of you idiots shall pay. THE WORLD WILL BURN!! "Boss, I think he's gone mad, we should leave", one of the hooded figures said on a low voice. "Was thinking the same thing", the shortest hooded figure replied, retreating with his crew, leaving the boy in the ground, barely breathing. As death drew near, things all went wrong.

"Saras Gayen! Are you reading those dusty old books again?"  Nina Gayen's shout preceded her entrance as she banged open the door to her son's room. As she expected, she found Saras sitting on his bean bag, holding a paperback copy of World History: The Ancient Civilizations. She snatched the book from his hands and tossed it into the pile of other books covering a range of topics from politics to economics related to Earth. "Look at Ellie's daughter, Stivi. She has already reached Level 3 in the Dreamverse VR within two hours of its launch. Why are you still lounging at home?" "I am not lounging! I am studying History…" Saras protested, looking at the book pile before turning his gaze towards his mother.  She stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at him as if he had committed a grave sin by not entering the game as soon as it was launched. "You are turning 25 this year. If you don't play the Dreamverse VR now and join a good guild, how will you find a wife?" Thus started his journey as he once again navigated the VR scene through the mysterious game Dreamverse VR that was said to hold the keys to Human Evolution.

In a small coastal town, Lily and Thomas lived just streets apart but never truly met. Lily, a quiet artist, found solace by the beach, sketching the horizon as the sun dipped. Thomas, a bookshop owner, often walked past her favorite spot on his way to work, captivated by the stillness in her presence. Their eyes would occasionally meet, a brief connection of curiosity, but words never passed. One evening, as the sky turned deep purple and the first stars appeared, a storm rolled in. Thomas, caught in the rain, ran toward the beach to seek shelter. He found Lily, drenched but smiling at the beauty of the storm. "You’re not afraid?" he asked, his voice barely heard over the crashing waves. "No," she replied softly. "I find peace in the chaos." Her answer struck him deeply. Without thinking, he sat beside her, and they spoke of dreams, fears, and the worlds within their souls. It wasn’t love at first sight, but the beginning of a connection neither could have predicted. As the months passed, they met more often, sometimes by the sea, other times in the dusty corners of his bookshop. Their bond grew, quiet yet undeniable, like the steady rhythm of the ocean waves. One night, under a blanket of stars, Thomas took her hand. "Lily, I never knew silence could speak so loudly," he said. She smiled, her heart full. "It was always there," she whispered. "We just needed to listen."
