The beeping of the alarm clock dragged Niji away from oblivion. Three hours prior to a training session, as usual. Still in her bed, the Elementalist opened the Magebook app on her smart—recently she’d become quite interested in news within the wizard community.
The first notification was that someone had tagged her in a photo. After clicking on the thumbnail she saw a low quality snapshot of the Viol they’d encountered the day before, taken from maybe 5th or 6th floor of a house on the street where the fight took place. The enemy had already been defeated and was about to dissipate. For a second Niji thought that her name was tagged to the monster itself, and her heart skipped a beat. However, the small square was placed above one of the tiny figures in the corner of the photo. A dozen people had liked the post, including a user with the name Ineed Healing, and Niji had a pretty solid clue about who it might be. The description of the photo stated: “Got that one from my brother. Portland State district. Discuss.”
The comments were the following:
Faeri Omnius: Looks like fun.
Mio Hirano(ex-Academy): too many viols out there these days
Ariadna von Stauffer: whats with the quality. 3d panorama, anyone?
_BadDPS_: fake
MisterChaos: @_BadDPS_, 100% fake, i’ve seen it in “my maid is a monster”
Mio Hirano (ex-Academy): is there HQ of those-who-must-not-be-named nearby?
Ariadna von Stauffer: I guess I see Niji Murasaki in the corner……….?
Katharina<3: @Ariadna von Stauffer, yep, I'll tag ^___^
Sam Norfolk: @MisterChaos, this is NOT fake. Such a degree of distortion is quite rare, but it is still possible for viols to have drastic changes in their appearance.
MisterChaos: @Sam Norfolk, fake like your violet mom
Sam Norfolk: @Mio Hirano (ex-Academy), I’ve heard that their base is at Sunset dstr, but who knows

Mio Hirano (ex-Academy): @MisterChaos, reported
Sam Norfolk: @MisterChaos, you degenerate might not be aware that I come from a family of Violet Hunters. So if you doubt my expertise, RTFM.
Faeri Omnius: @Sam Norfolk, sure thing, but nobody in your family was hired to Special Ops since your granddad;)
Well, typical. Nothing too compromising, but Niji felt moody—that stupid tag ruined her day completely. The girl couldn’t help but think about the Violet, and the realization of what exactly her fate would look like was devastating. She was doomed to become that ugly, crazy, disgusting creature—unless she was eliminated prior to that. This revelation was far more dreadful than Freyja’s killing spree.
She wanted to escape from these painful thoughts, to bury herself under the bed covers and never get out of there again. Her battle with a paralyzing fear was stealing too much of her inner power, and no physical pain she’d endured yesterday could compare with the extent of the exhaustion her nervous system was struggling with.
No, she had to fight. She’d do everything to survive. She must.
Upon drinking her coffee, Niji finally convinced herself to go training.

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
