Unknownfate

Chapter 178

The situation in France continued to grow worse. It was clear that our efforts so far hadn’t gone unnoticed, nor had the demon invasion been something the world could ignore. Plenty of different versions of what happened had spread.

Some believed it to be demons, the truth. Others claimed it was some kind of biological weapon, living weapons, failed super soldiers, or mutant experiments that had escaped from a secret laboratory....

Chapter 80: Carried Away

“Yuki, do I really have to carry you like this?” Koji continued to complain, as we moved through the land once more, running across a large swamp.

“Yeah.”

“But why?”

“Why are you complaining now? There was no problem when you carried me the past few days.” I replied.

“Well, you just had me do like seven hundred push-ups with you sitting on my back.” He whined.

“Please, that’s hardly ...

Chapter 177

“Your Majesty, is this truly the right thing to do?” Lancelot asked as he stood beside me like a silent guard, minus the silent part.

“I’m fairly sure he deserved it,” I replied, gesturing toward the unfortunate man currently being driven into the crumbling flagstones beneath Mordred’s feet.

The man groaned weakly, managing to spit out something between a sob and an apology — neither of which slowed Mordred dow...

Chapter 79: Push-ups and Payback

Haruto was naturally relieved when we came to get him, but the same couldn’t be said for his opponent.

Tsurugi Shoma was not at all weak, a powerful taijutsu master, skilled enough at ninjutsu, and all around a skilled Jōnin.

Sunagakure didn’t have many like him, which is why the loss of him would undoubtedly hurt and ensure that the team hunting us would need to replace him before they could follow us again, giving us ...

Chapter 176

Steve stepped out of the cab onto a modest corner of South London. The kind of place that hadn’t made the headlines in decades. No golden spires here. Just red brick flats, newsstands, and pubs with chalkboard menus out front.

The inn SHIELD booked for him was clean and small. Not cheap in a bad way — just unpretentious. His room had a twin bed, a kettle, a window view of the street below, and nothing else.

He didn’t u...

Chapter 78 Palms of Steel

He pressed me harder now, more aggressively. I could feel it in the shift of his footwork—less patience, more edge. His blade moved faster, the wind thicker with each swing, desperate to cover ground I wouldn’t give him.

He was getting frustrated.

I couldn’t blame him; he no doubt expected an easy win. He was picked because he countered the Gentle Fist, but clearly, he hadn’t expected me.

Now I admit, I was che...

Chapter 175

The Stark Industries private jet touched down with all the smoothness of a luxury yacht sliding into a private marina. Even before the wheels stopped turning, a small welcoming party was already assembling.

A line of uniformed escorts stood at attention near the tarmac. Two sleek, silver-black vehicles, marked with Albion's crest — a roaring lion wrapped in vine and flame — waited at the bottom of the portable stairs.

As...

Chapter 77 Steel against fair skin

The others quickly left, leaving just the two of us standing there. With the Byakugan active, I was able to watch the others. While only Haruto was pushed right into combat, the others had a few moments of pre-fight banter.

It was rare, but in certain high-level fights, it did happen. If someone was sure they would win, but the fight was still worthy of their attention, their opponent worthy of respect. Or if they wanted to get un...

Chapter 174

The hum of the private jet was nearly so quiet that the sound of the bubbling champagne could almost overpower it. A nice cold drink and some cheap salty snacks really did make traveling all the more pleasant.

“Ahhh, this is life, isn’t it?”

“Tony,” A tired voice sighed, “You can’t just run from your problems like a child.” Pepper Potts, Personal Secretary to Tony Stark, and de facto CEO of Stark Industries, ...

Chapter 76 No Strings On Us

Koji was fuming; his heart was hammering away in his chest with pure rage!  How dare that Suna Rag man set his eyes on his Yuki? Threaten her like that?

He wanted nothing more than to rip that fucker apart, and piss all over his remains. Even that was too good for someone like him, the worst of the worst, trash of trash.

He knew he should remain calm, but damn was it hard when he knew Yuki was facing such a creep. That ...

Chapter 173

The events that happened in Lyon sent ripples throughout the world, and while the horrors of that night were blamed on mutants, those in power, those in charge, they knew the truth.

This wasn’t some mutant attack, this wasn’t some terrorist attack, this, this was an invasion.

And an invasion of the worst possible kind, one of Hell’s forces itself, forces of evil, minions of the devil coming to claim their souls.

...

Chapter 75: Hold the Line

Scenario C was the one Haruto had hoped to avoid. Ideally, Plan A would’ve worked.
C required too much luck and far too much risk. A solid plan—just the worst situation to need it.

Which is why they all made preparations for it, because the worse it was for them, the more likely it was that the enemy would push it in that direction.

And it had indeed happened, the enemy appeared, taking a moment to taunt them, which d...

Chapter 172

Far from the medieval streets of Camelot, the over-the-top wealth displayed in ancient castles, and the stylish luxuries of high-end hotels, beyond the ocean, within the New World, was a hidden and advanced laboratory.

This laboratory wasn’t on any official lists; it was as secret as it was advanced. A ghost facility. The kind even most of SHIELD didn’t know existed. It was the current workplace of some of the world's greatest...

Chapter 171

Somewhere in the Black Mountains of Southern France…

The castle rose like a jagged scar against the mist-laden sky — ancient stone kissed by the shadows of dead kings. Its towers twisted unnaturally toward the heavens, ivy blackened by time coiling like veins across the walls.

Within the great hall, velvet draped the walls, blood-red and deep as spilled wine. Arcane symbols etched into obsidian pillars glowed fa...

Chapter 170

There was a quiet kind of panic unfolding in the Hôtel de Lys’ kitchen.

It began with the first room service order—polite, concise, and utterly incomprehensible in scale. The sous-chef read it twice before assuming it was a prank. Three full roast chickens, four steak frites, six buttered croissants, two dozen eggs, a pot of coffee large enough to drown in, and something called black pudding, which the night shift ha...

Chapter 169

Across the darkened skies of France, across the belt of water known commonly as The Channel. Within the new realm of Albion, and inside the great white city of Camelot, home of the pure white lion king Arthuria Pendragon.

This once legendary city had reached an equally legendary status as the cleanest city in the world, the safest city in the world, the best place to live, and the number one tourist attraction.

Even if only ...

Chapter 74: Death by a Thousand Cuts

Arata jumped back, instantly starting to weave hand signs. Yet his opponent wasted no time in giving chase.

Arata had hoped it wouldn’t end up like this. Plan C was really his least favorite, the most risky, but also the most likely to happen.

His feet hit the water, and he slid back another fifty meters. He slammed his hands onto the water's surface. “Raiton: Mizuraisu!” He shouted, causing the water around him to exp...

Chapter 168

From broken tiles and mildew-scented couches to marble floors and crystal chandeliers.

The Hôtel de Lys, nestled discreetly near the Seine in Paris, was the sort of place that catered to people with money, secrets, or both. We’d arrived late in the night, bypassing security checkpoints thanks to a little royal presence and a lot of subtle magic.

No one asked why three armed individuals stepped out of a black town car in t...

Chapter 167

I admit, even I, someone who had traveled from different realities, having seen all this as fiction, knowing the lore of the FATE universe, and that is something strange, more so, since I was Arthuria, and had all of well… my memories, I knew just how strange things really were.

But even for me, hearing that Fantomex had a sentient techno-organic organism as his nervous system, an honest-to-god spaceship for a nervous system, wa...

Chapter 73 The Rag Man’s Smile

The trip happened very much as I had expected it to. We travelled just ahead of them—barely far enough to stay out of reach, but close enough that I could keep them within my Byakugan’s range. It let me know when we could rest, when to move, when to sleep.

And more than that, it let me observe them.

There was a limit to what I could learn from a distance, especially without chakra signatures to rely on, but even so, I pi...

Chapter 72 I’ll Carry You

With Koji and Kuro joining back up after doing their best, we continued moving forward, trying and testing the team behind us. We employed every trick in the book as we ran; we even began to run in wide arcs to ensure we had the wind at our backs, always mindful to eliminate any chance for them to track us.

Yet, with me keeping a relaxed pace, they managed to slightly close the gap between us, allowing them to enter into the range...

Chapter 166

Nightcrawler reported that all the demons had just disappeared, without any signs of what happened; they were just suddenly gone. That naturally caused the rest of them to send me looks, because wasn’t that what I was claiming?

But how did I know?

Still, it was considered bad etiquette to ask others about any possible mutations or superpowers.

Most people would only give vague explanations on what they could do. Like...

Chapter 71 Clones, Tracks, and a Cold Shower

I couldn’t believe it. Not once, but twice, had we been interrupted, twice had things gotten steamy, only for something to stop us.

Worse yet, this second time we got stopped right as he went into me, after I had to deal with the humiliation of having to beg. Not that I had to—but I let myself get swept up in it anyway.”

Yet, I didn’t get to enjoy the payout!

I was in a right foul mood as I activated my Byakuga...

Chapter 165

“Look at you! What’s happened? A few demons too much for you?” Mordred mocked, laughter echoing down the scorched boulevard as she hopped li

“Look at you! What’s happened? A few demons too much for you?” Mordred mocked, laughter echoing down the scorched boulevard as she hopped lightly over the barricade. Her gun rested on her shoulder like a baseball bat, swagger in every step.

Lancelot ignored her taunt; instea...

Chapter 164

Leaving the underground catacombs, we breathed in the fresh air, even if it was still foul and polluted compared to Camelot, though far better than the smell of a city like Lyon would have had back in my time.

The City was still in chaos, dozens of buildings were burning, and firefighters were struggling to contain the flames. Police were working hard to evacuate people from other buildings that were at risk of catching fire.

Chapter 70 NSFW

(Not much real sex happening here, mostly just dirty talk and a bit of touching, can skip if you don’t want to read it.)

“Koji! Let me down damn it!” I complained as he carried me around, forcing me to wrap my arms and legs around him as he buried his face in my breasts, sniffing them endlessly while shamelessly parading us through town.

“But Yuki, I can’t help it, you being covered in my scent like this is just to...

Chapter 69, Part Two. NSFW

(Warning, this chapter is smut, it's between consenting adults. And Kuro does appear in this, so a slight warning on that front, it's safe to skip this chapter, it's just smut and slightly setting up an even more open and intimate relationship between them in the future.)

I had to admit that this dinner with Koji was so different from the kind of dinner dates I had experienced a few times when my former husband was willing to indu...

Chapter 163

“I still don’t get it, where were all the demons at?” Mordred said as she pointed her gun at the slowly smouldering demon corpses. “It makes no sense that there are this many here, and none there at all. I’m starting to wonder if this is normal for France.”

I shared Mordred’s puzzlement at the strange state of affairs. Even if Blackheart was behind it… It still didn’t sit right with me. Because demons didn’t st...

Chapter 69, Part 1: What makes a ten

Koji didn’t run far. While he had fun darting around and teasing me, he was also like a puppy—afraid of losing track of me and unwilling to leave my side. Which meant he soon came back, wagging his hypothetical tail.

“Done being a menace?”

“Never!” was his response—followed by a kiss. I could have dodged it, but it did feel good to be wanted.

We wandered a little behind the shrine, down a quiet path lined...

Chapter 162

I wasn’t an expert in other dimensions, even less so in the many different hell dimensions of Marvel. But one didn’t need to be an expert to know what the place I found myself in after stepping through that portal was: hell.

The very air itself seemed to scream with suffering. The sky was fire, and the ground flames. Should a normal person find themselves here, they would no doubt feel their lungs burn from the heat of the air...
