Finished the Alpha Dex!

Hello, readers! I’m back and on time! This week was fine as I went back to work. A position in another department that I’m qualified for has opened up again and I applied again. I also finally got the Spanish workbook from the company that I’ve been trying to get for quite a while, but that’s because there are a lot of Spanish speakers here and it’s a prerequisite for most of the higher level positions.

Moving onto the Pokémon: Legends Z-A, as the title says I finally pretty much finished the Alpha Dex! I have all the new Alphas (including their regional forms and other forms) except for evolving Alpha Feebas and the other three Pumpkaboo sizes. I’m seriously considering getting another copy of the game just to trade, but I’m willing to wait for now as I have the needed unevolved forms. Now I’m getting back to Pokemon: Legends Arceus to get the final Alphas I need from it; ? Unown, Cranidos, Rampados, Shieldon, Bastidon and Oshawott. I’m focusing on ? Unown for now, but I hope to get it soon.

Next is what I’m listening to, I actually finished By The Grace of the Gods Vol 7 before I posted my last post, but as it was on like Tuesday, I decided to leave it for today. So, now I’m listening to In Another World with My Smartphone Vol 5. In it, Touya has to deal with the fact that he’s now the Grand Duke of his own country and get it set up. While that’s happening he gets an envoy from a Theocracy and they seem intent on making him change the religion of his new country to theirs. As Touya has met God, he refuses. How will this turn out!

I also got to the chapters I hadn’t read yet for Harry Potter, Squatter by Enterprise1701-d so I decided to switch to Forging Destiny by White Angel of Auralon. This is a 3rd year Harry Potter AU. Harry finds Sirius after he runs away and is convinced to stay with him. It has some tropes like, having good goblins, manipulative Dumbles, suppressed Harry and multiple lordships. It’s an interesting fic, there’s not really a love interest and best of all, it’s completed! It even has a sequel!

Also finished is Ashs Just Reward by The Warmongers of Simora so I decided to listen to The Winged Lord and Lady of the Skies by LilyannaSpiritOfTheCheetah. This is because the last fic in the series is coming up on my reading list and I want to finish it before then. My calculations put it potentially in late Feburary or early March, but who knows? Any way, I talked about it recently, so here’s a link to it.

Now, onto the quest; first is Devil Arts Online by Greatazuredragon. This is Sword Art Online and High School DxD crossover. After getting free of the game and freeing Asuna, she’s hurt by Sugou and ends up in a coma. Kirito makes a wish for her to be saved and ends up summoning Rias. Rias is happy to grant his wish (this is set after Asia joins), however when she calculates what the price is, it keeps coming up with him joining her peerage. She does, but soon ends up back at the hospital to grant Asuna a wish, thus completing her peerage. She doesn’t know why they were chosen, but maybe they’ll be a help? Also, who’s this devil asking about them? This is a fun one, with the basic story based off another fic later on my list (a long one-shot). Sadly incomplete with 32 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2018 (though the author posted to another story almost a year ago).

Second is Different Than You Dream by brown phantom. It’s a Ranma ½ Au where Akane dreamed the whole story before it started. She sees how she acted and wants a new start. However, when Ranma shows up, it’s immediately obvious that things are different. Eventual Ranma/Akane/Shampoo/Ukyo. This one is also incomplete with 25 chapters and hasn’t updated since 2016. The author has posted to plenty of other stories, but hasn’t completed this one for some reason.

Third is Direct Thee To Peace by Umei no Mai. This is the sequel of Compass of My Soul. It’s a Naruto Clan Wars AU. Kita (SI) has managed to convince the Uchiha and Senju to work towards a lasting peace between them with both sets of brothers alive. Now all she to is navigate the peace talks and what comes after. The village is set up, but things are different from how we know them. How will this new Konoha survive in the end of the clan wars? It is complete and there are no more sequels.

Fourth is Dirty Little Secret by QueenKalasin. This a Harry Potter 7th book AU. [Content Warning – there are quite a few underage sex scenes. Don’t Like, Don’t Read.] Harry and Ginny decide to fake breaking up at the end of his 6th year to get Voldy off her back. She sneaks over to Privet Drive after the Dursleys take a vacation and leave him alone. They spend a few days alone. Everyone goes back to Hogwarts and Harry and Ginny have a strange back and forth. A fun and overly emotional fic (especially at the end). And it’s finished!

Fifth and last is Discovering the Legend 1-3 by RoseDragonWitch. This is another Harry Potter characters read the books from the early 2010s. I think this one is the author because there’s an ending fic. They reference that they finished book 4, but my copy only goes through most of book 3. Remus visits the castle during the Order of Phoenix and finds the first 4 books in the Room of Requirement. He takes them back to Grimmwald Place and reads them with Sirus and later other order members. It’s interesting, but I wish I had the rest of the story. (I looked it up and I can find more, but it’ll take a little work)

So, that’s it for this week. I hope things go well for you this week and as always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!

It’s Late and Short (Sorry)

Hello again my readers, it’s once again been a boring week. Sorry, this is a day late again. I got caught up in reading and watching anime along with trying to get all the Alpha Unown types in Legends Arceus (I have 18, but the rest are taking a while). I did have to make an almost 5 hour round trip to deliver something to another company site when the original person called in sick on Friday, but that was the only interesting thing. I wrote more for my fanfic, but haven’t finished even 7 chapters yet, so 10 is still a way off.

For more anime I’m watching this season, there’s Scooped Up By an S-Rank Adventurer. It’s about Lloyd, a white mage who was trained in a forest by his master to be better than everyone at his craft (but he doesn’t know it). He leaves and ends up in the hero’s party, only to be kicked out when they have success (not knowing that it was his help that made it so, like the normal cliché). He’s picked up by an S-Rank party and they marvel at what he can do. It’s cliché, but fun none the less. I’ve read the manga to where it is currently and I don’t think the anime is going to catch up this season.

Finally, the last of the main ones I’m watching this season is Lord of Mysteries. It’s a Chinese anime and I’m not really used to hearing Chinese, but it’s fine. I’ve read the manhua for it, but it ended after 65 chapters and I haven’t gotten around to reading the webnovel (that is finished). The anime is visually great, but the pacing isn’t great at first. They really rush the first part, not really explaining anything and now have to have little shorts to explain things a Mysticism class and a chibi shorts. It’s about Zhou from China, who does a luck enhancement ritual and ends up in another world in the body of Klein Moretti who just committed suicide. He has to find out how to return home, while becoming and dealing with Beyonders with unimaginable power. It’s fun, but keep in mind my warnings and watch the shorts.

I haven’t changed much in my listening since last week. I finished Ataraxia by a1lvera5hley and decided to listen to Back to the Beginning by Aliandris that I talked about last week. I’ve also finished Reincarnated as a Sword vol 12 and Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship vol 12 came out on Audible so I’m almost finished listening to it.

Onto the quest, the first one is Be Prepared by Phatom1s. It’s a Harry Potter fanfic where Dumbledore decides to help Harry and screw the vow with the ministry to not have an apprentice (only in this story) after 5th year. Harry becomes Lord Gryffindor and gets together with Ginny. It moves fast and is more unrealistic then a lot of other fics. Also rated M for a reason. [*Content Warning*] There is underage (14 and 15 year olds) and explicit lemons and limes. Don’t Like, Don’t Read. [*Content Warning*]. It’s actually complete!

The second one is Beautiful Mess by Breanie. It’s a Harry Potter one-shot song-fic. For those who don’t know what a song fic is, it’s a fic where the lyrics are in the story and describe or affect the story. This one has Beautiful Mess by Diamond Rio (a country song) as the main focus. It’s about Harry after the war and how his love for Ginny makes him a little crazy, but it’s worth it.

The third one is Because of the War by AStandupPhilosopher. This one is a Worm and XCOM 2 crossover. It’s based on the 3 chapters in Seerking’s Asylum for Plot Bunnies that Won’t Stop Bugging Me that are titled Survive, Adapt, Win. The first one is chapter 43, the second is chapter 54 and the third is chapter 101. Taylor triggers early with the power to have a mental XCOM base and summon combatants from it. She is the Commander and will fix her city. Has a redeemed Sophia and Emma and even saves Canary from her fate beforehand. It says it’s Taylor/Amy, but I don’t think they’ve interacted much in the 17 chapters that are available. It hasn’t updated since Jul 2024, but the author is still posting, just focusing on other fics (that I haven’t read).

After that is Becoming a Man Among Men by Dragon6. It’s a Ranma ½ fic where Ranma finds Genma’s journal and learns about his fiancées and the Man Among Men promise. This changes things as he refuses to go along with the Tendo engagement knowing about the other ones. He decides become a Man Among Men his own way. It’s incomplete and has 45 chapters. It was updated in 2020 and the author said they’d be back, but obviously hasn’t yet.

Then is Becoming Lífþrasir by Midoriko-sama. It’s a How to Train Your Dragon fic. Hiccup actually leaves as Astrid doesn’t find him and things change. Fast forward a few years and Beck decides to go and find the Nest again. It’s up to Hiccup and his dragon rider friends to save them. It’s Hiccup/Astrid and it’s complete with a sequel.

Finally there’s Befriending Sword by sakurademonalchemist. It’s a Fate/Stay Night and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha crossover. I’ve talked about it before here.

I got an Eternatus in PoGo and apparently, they’re raising the upper level from 50 to 80 in October. That’ll be fun. Finally bought a Switch 2 and it’ll get in soon. I don’t have any specific games for it yet, but it’s in prep for Pokémon Legends Z-A. As always, May Your Heart Be Your Guiding Key!
