“Welcome to ‘World Fusion’- Oh, it’s just you, Claude.” A waitress smiled as she saw Katalina and I enter the restaurant. She pointed to the kitchen where my father was usually at. Opening the swinging door to it, the sounds of activity buzzed throughout. Knives chopping, ingredients mixing, and the hissing and bubbling of heated
“Why does it feel like it’s all been done before?” Those words escaped my lips as Katalina and I walked out of the lecture hall, the last class of the day completed. It was now the weekend. I wasn’t sure why I was surprised, but the coursework seemed to make sense as I was listening
“Thanks to you, for bringing it all together for me…” That was the voice that echoed in my head as my vision faded to black. It was at that moment that I knew that our lives had been a lie. Crafted by the Gods to do their bidding, we were their ‘Apostles’. A face exactly

Dark shadows glided across the streets of an empty and desolate Tokyo, cast by white, winged golems high in the sky. They paused to scout the area, examining for any signs of life. It had been more than 600 years since these ruins were last active, but an alarm rang out, bringing forth its protectors.
‘What defines something as human?’ That was one question that Rika held onto, desperately searching for the answer as she messed around, deciding to destroy her relationship with Saki. Even in this body that was made just to suit Saki’s preferences, she couldn’t tell the difference between her and any of the artificial people that
