Hazure Skill: The Guild Member with a worthless skill is actually a Legendary Assassin

Light Novel Volume 04

“You’re the first person who’s ever successfully attacked me…You’re amazing…”

I shrugged. “I simply erased any desire to harm you. That was it.”

“But you actually did manage to hurt me. I can’t believe you can actually discard your emotions while fighting…”

“I used to work as an assassin.”

“An assassin…?”

“Who do you think an assassin kills first?”

“…Your parents or something? Your friends?”

“You’ve read too much fiction.” I forced a smile and continued. “The answer is oneself. You have to kill yourself before anything else. If you can do that, there will be no need to keep your emotions in check. No matter what happens, you’ll be as unwavering as a tranquil lake.”

“Basically…you haven’t got a sense of self…”

“It might be something like that.”

The Eminence in Shadow (Anime S1E11)

She feels the same way I do. A battle is a conversation. The shifting of a sword’s point…the movement of one’s gaze…the placement of the feet��all of them reflect your opponent’s will. We read those cues to give each other better responses, back and forth, again and again. This is the real essence of battle.

“The more we unravel the threads of history’s darkness, the more facts mingled with fiction.”

My organisation was never walking the path of righteousness, but we don’t walk the path of evil either. We only walk down our own path. If you can do that, then go ahead. Bring me the guilt for all the crimes in all the world. I will gladly accept all of it. But it won’t change anything. Even with that, I…We will do what we must do.

If the deep sea forgets you

By Su Fuling

Chapter 62

Humans often chose to lie to themselves to run away from situations they did not wish to see happen. They would often weave a perfect illusion to tell themselves that everything was fine.

It was not that they did not know what was going on. It was just that they did not want to confront reality.

Violet Made of Thorns

By Gina Chen

Chapter 18

Love is a fickle thing traded by fools, but lust is exactly that — no promises. It’s as hungry as any starving creature but honest in what it wants.

It was because people made decisions based on feeling. But those feelings are extremely susceptible to outside influence.

Shades and Shadows

Chapter 175 [End]

We drew…

…And he taught.

That was all.

Just a simple situation. A simple relationship.

But stories don’t just end with that.

To maintain relationships that I care about…

…I have to keep loving, keep thinking and keep moving forward.

Relationships change eventually. For better or for worse.

We could just be fleeting moments in each other’s lives, and it might not last forever.

We could end up crying more than we laugh together.

I might end up regretting my choices.

But still, that doesn’t matter to us in the present.

The smiles, tears, and regrets that come from my choices are mine as well.

They accumulate to form the direction I will take.

Let’s walk together toward that destination.

When we meet a corner on the way, we can each choose our own paths.

So at least until then…

…I want to ask you to match my direction and speed…

…Like we’re taking a stroll.

When it comes to change and growing up there’s a lot to look forward to but plenty of anxiety as well.

Time teaches us how to live with others and time also teaches us how to live without them. It’s a lesson life keeps repeating until we either get used to it or until we find the one who would be willing to stay with us forever.

Stalking Jack the Ripper

Chapter 03: Tea and Autopsies

Death was not prejudiced by mortal things such as station or gender. It came for kings and queens and prostitutes alike, often leaving the living with regrets. What might we have done differently if we’d known the end was so near?

Three Act Tragedy

by Agatha Christie

“I’m sorry, too, for disturbing you. I expect you were busy writing.”

“I was, as a matter of fact.”

“Another play?”

“Yes. To tell you the truth, I thought of using some of the characters at the house-party at Melfort Abbey.”

“What about libel?”

“That’s quite all right, Sir Charles, I find people never recognise themselves.” She giggled. “Not if, as you said just now, one is really merciless.”

“You mean,” said Sir Charles, ���that we all have an exaggerated idea of our own personalities and don’t recognise the truth if it’s sufficiently brutally portrayed. I was quite right, Miss Wills, you are a cruel woman.”

Spy x Family (Manga)

Chapter 11

Everyone has a part of themselves they don’t show to anyone else. Not to friends….not to lovers…not even to family. With fake smiles and bluffs, they hide their true thoughts, their true self. This is how the world glosses things over for a fragile peace. (Secrets give rise to more secrets!)
