The Least Common Denominator XLV.IV Law of Conservation
I had never felt more alive in so long.Here I was, staring down at the idiots that dared to utter my sister's name. Practically naked and covered in the blood of my enemies, I probably looked like a demon from hell right now, especially since I was holding a burning blade in my right hand. And smiling scowling like a madwoman with the fury and hatred of a thousand suns. And did I mention completely covered and showered in blood?Yeah... Maybe I really was portraying the part of a demon in my enemies' eyes."Answer..." I growled out, pointing my blade at the closest idiot available."I... I..."The heat burning through my veins only intensified the longer the idiot triedto stall. I could clearly see him looking towards his fellow idiots; his eyes open as wide as they can as they flitte
The Least Common Denominator XLV.V Law of Conservation
Moving around at the speed of sound, well, relative to that, of course, I ignored the red tint in my vision as I looked forward to the idiots coming for my ass. I was absolutely livid, but I actually managed to tip over the point of mindless rage and back around to clear lucidity a few minutes ago. The fact that I could think clearly despite the burning rage inside me was a pretty novel experience. I was never one to really let anger boil to the point of absolute rage, but to think that I actually reached a level like this?Yeah. It was pretty fucking bad.The tree line to my left was the only indication I had that I was still near the forest as my feet pumped themselves in a sprint; the gentle breeze providing me with the amazing feeling of coldness as it helped in evaporating the blood off my skin. No sweat needed, it would seem, and flakes of dried blood began to accumulate

In a world ran by humanity, death was something that was feared by all. Well, not all, seeing as I willingly killed myself. But for the vast majority of people and the world at large, death was something that can come at any time; without warning, without even so much as a chance to prepare for it coming. Some would think that being young or rich would make you immune to it, but I was the living anti-thesis to the statement, right? I died before I hit my thirties, and having shit luck can make anyone think that they're cursed by God if they had the pleasure of contracting terminal cancer as a kid or even a toddler. I've seen such cases, of course. It was tragic; seeing someone that had their whole life ahead of them get snuffed out by something they had absolutely no control over.But then again, that's just how life worked, didn't it...We cannot escape death, no matter how h

"I'm feeling better, Master.""No, you're not."Hours passed. Maybe. Days? I honestly couldn't tell anymore. What I did know was that Ica's condition had barely improved since she started showing her patented snark again. Sure, she could talk straight without panting, but anything beyond berating and talking smack against me was met with exhaustion and weakness that she relentlessly tried to deny. Ever since she woke up from her apparent nap, she tried summoning her flames to no avail, leaving her trying to catch her breath with nothing to show for it. And even then, she'd constantly insist that she can walk without assistance when she couldn't even sit up straight for more than five minutes."I deny that claim," said the stubborn patient that had her back against the bed cushions. "I can move on my own just fine."Oh b

I sincerely underestimated just how large my own mind was."Ica?"An hour had probably already passed in mindscape-time as I continued my trek to find that idiot phoenix....Wow... I actually thought of Ica as an idiot. That was a first. If she was here right now, she'd probably be pissed as shit at me. Then again, she might be reading my mind even now and I just couldn't see her seething.Or maybe she had collapsed somewhere and she couldn't even hear me at all...Fuck! "Ica?!"Following the strand had proven laughably slow as I continued to let it guide me to my wayward patient. In all honesty, it was the only thing keeping me afloat in the middle of my own library as I navigated whatever views and wonders this place had to give me

"Paint? Don't compare my new appearance to something so mundane, Master.""It's an analogy, Ica. Don't get your panties in a twist about it."With the light having been reduced down to bearable levels, my eyes were finally able to adjust themselves and give me some idea on what the top floor of my mindscape finally looked like. I could only think that it was caused by the light, but my surrounding area somehow still looked white when compared to the casual wooden brown that the rest of the library sported. Looking around, there was a lone bookshelf and a table right in the middle of the floor, and.... nothing else.Huh. So the top floor was barren save for a bookshelf and a table for two. Standing out against the rest of the white, it kind of gave off the feeling of having a decent tea time in heaven."I'll have you kno
The Least Common Denominator Interlude XVIII: Ica II
"Well, that's done..."With a sigh of relief, Ica wiped a non-existent sweat off her brow as she crossed her arms under her chest. It had been embarrassing; being forced to submit to her Master's care while she had been completely delirious with her lack of energy, but she supposed it was a necessary step in making her Master learn how things worked in her own mindscape."The things I do for you..."With a snap of her fingers, Ica found herself back in her usual spot in the middle of the library. Taking a seat, she snapped her fingers once more; her usual teacup appearing in her hands as she observed the new changes in herself.The new clothes had surprised her. She knew from countless hours of research that her Master had some sort of... fetish for women that were better than her. It had been the first time that she ha
The Least Common Denominator XLVII.I Elastic Energy
There were a lot of things I could accept. As a fairly adaptive person whenever it came to new topics and game mechanics, I quickly learn to adopt and incorporate whatever knowledge I felt was necessary for me to survive in any new environment. That didn't mean to say that I could live anywhere, of course. I was still a creature of habit that accumulated far too much stress damage whenever her schedule was interrupted. But if I was prepared or I anticipated the oncoming change, then I was swift in learning new things just so I could avoid the embarrassment of asking for help on things that probably looked far too simple for those that did it on a regular basis.That also wasn't to say that I would immediately adapt to the situation if I was thrown into it headfirst with nothing but my wits and fear of trying out new things."L-Livia?""SIS!"
