The Least Common Denominator XLIX.II Wavlength
"Not fair...""Life's not fair, Livia, remember?"Livia winced under my care as I carefully treated the wounds I gave her during our sparring session. While she utterly destroyed me during our shortsword-only bout, I had decimated her on every other weapon. Her bow rifle had proved to be too heavy for her despite it being of her own design, and thus that was back on the drawing board for her to fix. Then came the no-holds-barred final round where I actually showed her my Numerator powers.She fought valiantly for all of thirty seconds before I blindsided her by a sudden burst of flame."I thought we were both Dens till the end of time," Livia pouted as I moved to treat a small cut on her side. "Since when did you become a Num all of a sudden?""To be honest, I really don't know," I sighed as
The Least Common Denominator XLIX.III Wavelength
I can't believe I'm doing this...Looking around for something for me to write or draw on, I found nothing except the scraps and... wait.. Yeah, this could work.Walking towards a decent sheet of wood lying around at the edge of the workshop, I hefted it onto the table as I grabbed a piece of burnt wood to use as a writing utensil. Now that I thought about it, we should really put a permanent chalkboard here for better organization and design drawing."You're gonna draw something?" Livia asked as I gave my improvised chalk a few test runs on the board.I thanked the seven hells that I wasn't facing her at the moment as I failed to fight off the grimace that formed on my face. If I was working with real chalk, I might've scratched the board with it with how bad I was currently feeling. Did I really have to do this? Shoul
The Least Common Denominator XLIX.IV Wavelength
I did not just hear my sister tell me that she thought about me when she felt feelings 'down there!' Surely, my ears were just playing tricks on me, right?!"Uh... Sis?""Sorry, Livia," I gave her an apologetic smile, masking the growing fear that threatened to throw me into a panic attack. "Can you repeat that?"Yeah... Livia probably just misspoke or misinterpreted my question. I was pretty all over the place anyway; truly a scatterbrained maniac through and through.I watched patiently as Livia nodded, "Oh. I said I was thinking about you whenever I felt things down there."..................A strange dissonance threatened to shatter my fragile psyche, "I see..."I did my
The Least Common Denominator Interlude XXI: Olivia IX
Olivia felt like she had just discovered another world."S-sis..."Truly, Big Sis was a genius if she was the one that taught her how to help her body relax from the pain and suffering. It was only natural that her sister was the one to teach her this. If she didn't, who knows how much more she'll dread the coming of her monthlies? Not only did this 'masturbation' work, but it also gave her a way to clear out a big chunk of the muddy waters constantly threatening to surround her and her sister."a-ah..."While she didn't know why Big Sis forbade her from doing it unless her cramps got too bad, she did know was that it was the second-best thing that ever happened to her after meeting her sister years ago. It was an outlet for the weird feelings she was starting to have when her sister was around, and it gave her such an
The Least Common Denominator L.I Equilibrium
Balance. A balance in all things, yeah? There was some sense of status quo in the way the world works. From the natural water cycle to every other food chain out there, nothing is ever lost in the middle of each process; the world maintaining the same base matter and ingredients in its system only in a different manner or form. Perhaps there would be some loss of energy along the way, but overall, nothing was ever lost in the grand scheme of things. Even income inequality worked like this, unfortunately. Money needs to be scarce to have value, and thus the poor and the rich exist to keep the rich rich and the poor penniless to keep the value at a rate that would help the economy. And while I wouldn't portray myself to be a harbinger of balance in anything, I was still a big advocate of fairness in an unfair world.And the explosion that echoed from the front door was just the inequality balance I needed t
The Least Common Denominator L.II Equilibrium
Livia flew off in a burst of wind.*CLANG!*Sparks flew as her blades met the handle of the Prime's war hammer while I was stuck watching from the sidelines, but that didn't mean I should just let my sister do all the work now, can't I? She had the strength and speed that I could never hope to achieve without years of constant training to stand toe-to-toe with a Prime. Meanwhile, I had thought myself capable of thinking up of various bullshit to get ourselves out of shitty situations. Leaning on my staff as I paced around the battlefield, I kept my eyes peeled for any sort of opportunity that would present itself sooner or later.That was the time that I had to strike.*CLANG! CLANG!*Livia rushed through with reckless abandon as her blades flew against the Prime. The Prime, meanwhile, stood
The Least Common Denominator L.III Equilibrium
My mind whirred at the implications of what this Prime just revealed to me. Did he mean that he taught Mother everything she knew? Or was he just a tutor of some sort? What was his relationship with her? A former superior? Did that mean that he was in the upper echelons of the Prime Thirteen? Or was it-"Calm your head, Little Eul," the Prime shook me from my thoughts as he laughed out loud. "Keep your head straight and fight hard."I blinked at the man that actually just gave me sound advice. A part of me was really starting to like the guy, but he still trapped Livia in a dome of earth. I couldn't just let that slide for my own sake. Also, "Little Eul?"That was my mother's name... So he really did know her before."Eul was your mother, correct?" the Prime pointed out as he put his fists up. "You're practically her sp
The Least Common Denominator L.IV Equilibrium
I paced around the small hill, knowing that going up there with no plan at all would be tantamount to suicide. The Prime had the high ground, but that didn't mean that it was impossible to beat him despite his overwhelming advantage against me in speed, strength, and experience...Okay. Maybe it was impossible, but that didn't mean that there wasn't a way for me to get through this."C'mon, Little Eul!" Lord Stone called out to me with his arms spread out. "You're mother would've swung at me already!"I snorted, "I'm not my mother, Sir!"There was no need to rush when I knew that Livia was just stuck inside her dome. She was safe in the meantime. Meanwhile, I was burning daylight trying to think up a way to approach the guy without eating shit in five seconds. Let me take my sweet ass time, dammit.
