"I..I apologize for lack of understanding but if he can use the natural mana then that makes him capable of using the entirety of it. With a never ending supply of mana he should've been all powerful but he's not. What's restricting him?"

He bit through his thread and, as he tied it off, said, “She’s just an old curmudgeon. Doesn’t like volshebniks, doesn’t like having a volshebnik here, definitely doesn’t like you trying to make me a volshebnik. Also, she thinks you’re a bad worker. So, no, she’s never going to like you.”

I pulled the needle too hard and ripped the fabric again. I banged my fist on the table.

“This really bothers you, huh?” He smirked harder than normal.

“I’m used to people not liking me.”

“Hey.” He shifted and covered my hand with his. “I like you.” Then he laughed uproariously.

When he took his hand away, the back of mine burned, and my breathing hitched.

This wasn’t surprising. In retrospect, maybe I should have been concerned. Maybe I should have wondered if the real reason I was doing any of this was because I had a crush on a boy who held a knife to my throat.

Iyu Aksanevich is a bastard—literally, and, some would say, figuratively—but his father’s royal blood means he can use magic, which no commoner can. At least, that’s what he believes until he’s kidnapped during a peasant rebellion. His captors force him to confront some difficult questions: is magic really tied to bloodlines, or is there a different, more sinister reason that some people in this world are magic and others aren’t?

“We didn’t do anything wrong!” Prohibited items? It’s not like we knew this was going to happen! And what about what happened to us? I may not have read my employment contract in its entirety but surely I didn’t agree to all this!

“It’s HR. That’s how it works. But forget about that for now. What do you think NAUGHT stands for?”

“Naught?” It was both a clarifying question and a questionable answer.

“It’s an acronym. NAUGHT. What do you think it means?” Nora asked me again.

“It means nothing!”

“No, it’s definitely something important. Hmmm… This is going to bother me until I figure it out. This is why you define acronyms in writing the first time you use them.”

“Now will you tell me what you asked for?” I asked.

“Mmm. God-like powers to do anything I want. But also the meaning of NAUGHT, as in the acronym.”

“W-what?!”

“It’s still bothering me!”

“My exclamation was about the first part!”

“What? The more unreasonable your request is at first, the more likely you are to get a more innocuous one approved! Ask for the moon, get a moon rock?”

“Innocuous?”

“Inoffensive, harmless, mild.”

Innocuous didn’t sound innocuous to me. “Oh.”

The classroom was quiet, except for the soft tap-tap of raindrops against the windowpane. I sat at my desk, staring at the blank pages of my journal. My name is Aoi, and I'm just an ordinary girl living an ordinary life—or at least, that's what I tell myself.

I sighed, the pen in my hand feeling heavy as I finally put it on the paper. "Dear Journal," I began, my writing shaky. "Today was... just another day."

I glanced around the room, taking in the familiar faces of my friends. Emi was hunched over her notebook, sketching away as usual. I envied how she could lose herself in her art, creating beauty from nothing.

Then there was Kaoru, a whirlwind of energy and laughter. She leaned over to whisper something to the girl next to her, her vibrant red hair a stark contrast to the gray day outside. Kaoru had this way of making even the dullest days feel exciting.

But my thoughts always seemed to circle back to Hiroki—Kaoru's older brother and the person who had once been a source of light in our lives. His image was etched in my mind, from his tousled sandy-brown hair to his warm hazel eyes. I cherished a secret affection for him that I'd kept hidden since childhood, known only to me and the pages of my journal.

With a sigh, I closed my journal and let my mind wander to a memory. It was a memory of us by the riverbank, our feet splashing in the water as we laughed. The sun had painted everything in golden hues, and for that moment, everything felt perfect.

But perfection is fragile. I remembered that rainy evening when everything changed. Hiroki and I had gone to the riverbank despite the rain, finding joy in each other's company. And then, in an instant, it all went wrong.

Here's the latest page from my manga The Roulette and The Eagle!

It focuses around psychology, power, politics, action and crime with some lighthearted moments, especially in the beginning. We've been working on the story for over 9 months, so I'd be happy if you checked it out! The updates are currently a bit slow, unfortunately, but I'm working on improving my pace :smiley:

"Her words tear deep into my foundation, ripping every single brick one by one. Until I'm left alone in the cold rain. This woman from long long ago, just decided what I'm supposed to do? And caused so much harm to my family, to my freinds, to Luna? And now I'm just to accept this? This reality before me?

"No..." I whisper, lowering my head down, "I don't want to be a part of this prophecy. I don't want to. Please, find someone else."

Silence fills the room, stiffening just the candles burning low their smoke hovering overhead. A long-fingered gnarled hand reaches over across the table, palms up. Wrinkled over years and years of hard work, torn and bruised and dyed in black here and there. I glance up to Lady Shaman whose voice is warm but her eyes stoic, "You do not have a choice in this."

I stand up, furious clenching my fists to my sides, "Why not! What proof do you have that I'm the Eleventh chosen!?" I take a step back, "I... I am a normal girl! I go to school, I eat pancakes with my dad and mom! I have sleepovers with freinds... I am not some warrior, or some wizard, healer, or whatever it is you want. Just... take me home!" " -Chapter Thirteen part 3, Episode 33

Lockwren blinked. This felt too easy, too obvious. But she had come too far to question her new queens’ motives. Lockwren took Queen Mabh’s hand.

Instantly, she was blinded by a sharp, icy pain that shot up her arm and into her very soul. The beautiful one in front of her was now a dark, twisted figure with glowing blue eyes, tendrils of dark power rushing around her, up Lockwrens arm, into her eyes.

Then, the pain subsided into something dark, sweet, something that felt forbidden.

Magic.
