Doc yawned as he connected a part of metal to his late night creation, he checked his mug and it was empty, he lifted himself up and stretched, his tired eyes scanning his recent additions, it wasn't like him at all.. He'd normally finish it in a nick of time but the difference was that he's tired, sure he had more than 8 mugs of coffee but it wasn't enough to stay awake for 2 straight days
He tiredly walked to the kitchen and started making another mug of coffee as he yawned "Doc?" A voice asked, his droopy eyes turned around to see Grumpy "Oh... Hey Grumpy.." He said with exhaustion "What are you doing up so late?" Grumpy asked with concern, for a grumpy guy he is, he still cared for one of his closest friends, Doc grabbed the mug which was now filled with hot freshly brew coffee "You know.. Little of this... Little of that.... Just finishing up a new invention like always" Doc answered with a tired smile "What about you?" He asked "Doesn't matter.." Grumpy answered
"You fell asleep in the mine.. I think you need to get some rest" Grumpy suggested, Doc sipped a little from his coffee "Work never sleeps..." He answered simply "But people do.. What's this invention for anyway?" Grumpy asked "I'll tell you when it's done.." Doc started to walk back to his workroom "C'mon Doc! You need some shuteye" Grumpy said, cutting off his tracks "Well this invention's important..." Doc faced Grumpy "How important?" Grumpy asked "Does staying awake for 2 straight days answer your question?" Doc asked than stating, he turned back to his tracks and continued walking but Grumpy blocked him
"Doc. You need to sleep" Grumpy said sternly "No I don't Grumpy... I can control my sleepiness" Doc said getting slightly irritated "Yes you do!" Grumpy argued "No I don't!" Doc responded "Yes you do!!" Grumpy scolded like a dad telling his kids to go to bed "No I don't" Doc replied arguing back

They got into an argument "Doc! Rushing things can only make the result worse!" Grumpy argued "But I need to finish it!" Doc argued back "No you don't!! You have a whole lifetime to finish it!" Grumpy said, still not giving up, Doc stomped his foot "YES I DO!" Doc snapped, Grumpy stood quiet, slightly shocked
"I-I'm sorry.... I guess I just needed to get that out of me.." Doc apologized "Well.... Wanna talk?" Grumpy asked
They sat next to each other near the small staircase "So... What about it?" Grumpy asked "Well... You know how I always get the invention done in time..?" Doc yawned "Yeah?" Grumpy responded "This... This one is too complicated... Even for me.. I just feel like I need to finish it in time" Doc replied "Doc, you're the smartest guy I know! Don't push yourself too hard on it, you've got a lifetime to finish it, you can do this I know you can!" Grumpy said with encouragement
Doc gave him a small smile "Gee.. Thanks Grumpy... I never knew how wise you are...." Doc complimented "Well I guess it's just my thing!" Grumpy said proudly "The thing is, you need to rest.. Your brain needs to recharge, and I bet you can finish it like you always do after you get enough sleep" Grumpy said
"You know what..? You're right... Thanks for the advice" Doc said and stretched his arms "I know.. I'm always right! Well... Most of the time" Grumpy chuckled
Doc rested his head on Grumpy's shoulder in which Grumpy got shock "Goodnight Grumpster..." Doc bid, his tired eyes grateful for finally closing after a long day, Grumpy gave him a tiny smile before resting his head onto Doc's
"G'night Doc.."

Plague Doctor
The once-bustling and noisy streets were now filled with an eerie blanket of silence. Hoarse and frenzied whispers lingered high above the heavens, and an indescribable ancient giant lurked in the shadows of the bottomless ocean. A mysterious plague had outbroken, and natural disasters wrought the Earth. Global pandemic and catastrophes had the panicked masses seeking illusory shelters from the devastation, day and night. A bloody shower poured over the land as the streaks of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the ill-intentioned gathering of ravens above. Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the ravens. “We can see that this malformed creature has twelve pairs of ribs like humans, but also has a “transverse bone” that humans do not possess…” In the medical school, Gu Jun continued bringing down his scalpel, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure of the malformed cadaver on the dissection table to the surrounding students. Ominous and treacherous times had descended! Truth and logic had crumbled, order warped into a frenzy. Humanity can only forge ahead through the power of intelligence and wisdom.

The Fate Eater
What might a man really do if he found himself reincarnated into a fantasy world as a dragon prince? How would he come to terms with his new nature, his larger-than-life family, the agendas of warring factions, and the destiny he never asked for? This is a story that intends to defy some isekai tropes, but play into others. It's mainly about exploring a rich hand-crafted world, full of its own history and mysteries. Its characters have their own lives and aspirations, and our protagonist is but a piece of the greater tapestry. This story is not about right and wrong, or good and evil. It's about a dragon-man being tested by fate, power, and time. It's about what it's like to live as an outsider who lost their home. But perhaps the most central theme is freedom. What does freedom really mean? What will it cost and how much might one be willing to pay for it? Does it even truly exist? Let's find out together.
