Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.
Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Chapter 19
Classes followed one another. Math, Physics… Finally, it was time for P.E.
A lively chatter already filled the locker room. The main topic of discussion was the new teacher.
"Did you see her? God, she's fire!"
"I'm definitely going to be dreaming about her tonight!"
And everything...
Chapter 18
Sociology began. Mr. Harrison, disheveled as always, entered the classroom, dropped his messenger bag, and connected his laptop to the projector. The screen came to life, displaying a news channel logo.
"Alright, we're going to step away from theory a bit today," he began as the...
Chapter 17
The smoke-filled office of Silvio Manfredi, known as Silvermane, was thick with tension. Joseph, nicknamed Hammerhead, nervously paced the room, waving a printout of an internet article.
"Silvio, are you just going to sit there?!" he barked, slamming his fist on the desk so hard the...
Chapter 16
The Red Hulk was the embodiment of primal fury and unstoppable power. The very earth around him melted, turning into a bubbling lake of lava. The air shimmered with the radiating heat. If he had appeared in the city, buildings would have started to slump like candles, people would...
Chapter 15
Arnim Zola, now existing as pure code in the depths of secure servers, watched the world. By becoming an AI, he had gained almost limitless capabilities, but not absolute freedom. The Pact, made decades ago, continued to operate, albeit in a distorted form. Article I—"Serve...
Chapter 14
In his New York office, Nick Fury stared at the single sentence highlighted in red in the report: "THEY ARE BEING CONTROLLED." A mutant capable of turning people into puppets had appeared in the city, and S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't even suspected. Worse, according to all data, Stark had...
Chapter 13
"Well, that's it. Our purple friend is cataloged, analyzed, and digitized. Time to interrogate him."
"Are you sure we've accounted for everything?" Diego asked, stepping closer. "What if he has another ace up his sleeve?"
"Who knows," Stark shrugged. "That's exactly why we need to...
Chapter 12
After the visit to the lawyer, the police station was behind me, and life returned to its school routine, even if it now felt like a bland imitation of normality. For over a week, Tony Stark had been conjuring up the cage for Zebediah and the new suit, for which I'd had to part with...
Chapter 11
After the meeting with Stark, one no-less-pressing problem remained: the police. It was unlikely they were going to back off, and their surveillance could become a serious obstacle. I needed to find someone who scared them as much as the plague scared an ordinary person. And what...
Chapter 10
Captain Stacy leaned back in his chair and wearily rubbed the bridge of his nose. His desk was buried in reports of looting, shootouts, and dozens of other incidents that had overwhelmed the city. In normal times, half of these cases would already be in progress, but now he had to...
Chapter 9
The city looked different in the morning. Stark Industries robots patrolled the streets—not on every corner, but their presence was enough to cool the hottest tempers. It seemed Tony Stark was taking this seriously.
At school, instead of first period, there was an emergency assembly...
Chapter 8
High in his tower, Tony Stark watched his city choke on its own fever. Even from here, through the thick glass, the wail of sirens carried—an anxious soundtrack to the evening. New York had always been a city on the edge, but right now, it was plummeting into the abyss.
"Sir...
In the throne room of Pangaea Castle, silence shattered as the doors burst open with a thunderous crash. A pale, gasping guard from the surveillance unit stumbled in, collapsing to his knees.
"Your Holinesses!" he cried, voice trembling with terror. "Saint Charlos's bibli-card… it… it burned!"...
Francis hovered in the air, his mind racing through combat scenarios. A frontal assault on Teach was pointless—his opponent was too durable, and his Devil Fruit was too dangerous in close quarters. But Teach had a weakness: his primitive raft, his only means of navigating this ocean. If Francis...
Chapter 21
It's been a month—a tense, grueling month—but I learned everything I set out to uncover.
When Saint Charlos collapsed in a fit, chaos erupted. He was rushed to the medical center, and I, an invisible shadow, trailed behind. The way they treated him was something out of science...
How much time has passed? A year? Five? Ten? I stopped counting long ago. What difference does it make when every day blends into the one before? My foresight of the future has reached perfection. It's no longer a "technique" I need to activate—it's become my natural state. I live ten seconds...
The only sound in the room was the soft crackle and hiss of static. From thousands of leagues beneath the sea, Queen Otohime's trembling, despair-laden voice broke through.
"...But how could this happen, Francis-san? We followed every law!"
"Laws are written by the victors, Your Majesty," I...
For ten days, I rowed, surrounded by an endless, indifferent expanse of blue. Thankfully, the lifeboat had enough food and water to keep me going.
Hope Rob Lucci dies out there in the middle of the ocean, I thought dully, but the fire in that thought had long faded, replaced by a heavy...
Chapter 17
For a week, we'd been at sea. Our merchant ship, Sea Bubble, plodded along its course, carrying precious cargo. I stayed in the shadows, playing the part of the captain's mysterious bodyguard. In a world where there's a bounty on your head, anonymity is your best friend. We were...
