We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
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.

"Your eye? How the fuck?" Keigo made a Pikachu face.
Shigure's eyes looked completely normal—no injury, no hint of damage.
"I don't know. I was unconscious. Anyway, did your manager ever come into the room?" Shigure tilted his head.
"He didn't." Keigo furrowed his eyebrows. Putting aside his...
It took the thief a few seconds to recognise the young adult due to the latter being in "casual wear".
It was FREAKING HAWKS.
"What the actual—" The thief froze. No way this was his luck.
Correction: the unluckiest man in the room.
Normally, the situation would have unfolded exactly like how...
THUMP THUMP THUMP
Keigo's heart drummed at the sight.
He could hear the sound of a fight happening and instinctively pulled the curtains aside.
What he next encountered was a
hand.
A child's severed hand. Still. Unmoving.
On the floor.
Keigo felt his insides churning.
Blood slicked the...
Shigure's evening had turned chaotic. He had taken care of two villains, and a third had unexpectedly appeared. He was fast enough to force Shigure to burn through his entire chocolate reserve.
'Something's off.' Shigure quickly made his way towards his home.
Halfway home, a deranged onee-chan...
'Right. Barely a few months wearing the hero badge. Still, for Hawks—the usually untouchable—to look like this...' Shigure frowned, eyes narrowing with calculation.
He couldn't blame Keigo, as he is clearly adept at rescue operations. It's just that nearly a city is now taken hostage, which is...
For the first time, Shigure had been thrust into such a situation.
'She wants you. Not me.' Shigure knew he might be overreacting, but he couldn't let Keigo one-up him like this.
"He said that he would be busy with some people tonight and not to disturb him," Shigure said without any...
A few hours later, they touched down in Mexico. No rabid fans in sight—luck was on their side.
"So... this is the freedom nation. Though I only know the information from online, do we need to be wary of normal civilians carrying guns?"
Hawks nearly spilt his coffee.
"...A bit of caution...
4th September, 22:19
Shigure stood at the airport with a trolley and a bag on his shoulders.
His thumb idly scrolled his phone.
'The MC… weirdly compelling.'
"What are you reading?" Shigure looked up and saw Hawks in his informal outfit and luggage similar to his own.
"A web novel."...
Bob strained to block the feathers. But even he had blind spots in what he could perceive with his telekinesis.
To stop a feather, he needs to first be aware of its location and with so many feathers attacking him from so many directions, multiple of them were able to pass through his...
"Stop running and die." Shigure ran after her.
Tsuki was the only female in the gang and the leader.
At least, that was what Shigure knew.
Her quirk was unknown to him.
While running, she dropped a bomb, intending to stop Shigure.
Even with Slow Down, running into a blast cloud was...
Hawks and others shifted their gaze in the direction Shigure pointed.
They'd missed it from the railing. But now it was close—too close.
15 metres.
Keigo's wings opened up, and with one flap, he reached high up in the sky.
9 metres.
Feathers shot out—too slow.
3 metres.
The...

'Somehow, I slept. Even after last night.' Shigure stretched his whole body.
It was sore due to the "exercise" he did with Hawks last night.
DING DONG
Shigure looked at the door. 'Should I or should I not?' As if the devil himself was whispering in his...
13th August
BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Ugh..." Shigure slammed the alarm. His blanket slid off.
'Five more minutes,' he muttered, pulling the blanket over his head.
"Ja..."
His brow creased—something didn't sound right.
His brain latched onto the sound before he knew it.
"JAMES." His eyes...
"They call you Heretic Smasher."
"The what?" Shigure's eyes went wide, face draining of color.
"Pfft...Look at your face. How can a person be that expressive?"
Shigure ignored him and checked his phone.
Minutes later, Shigure slumped in defeat.
'This must be what Ki flagged as "low...

The grappler failed to fire.
Shigure's eyes widened. He yanked the trigger again.
Still not working.
He yanked it again and again—nothing.
'Speed Up' The world slowed for him, and Shigure tried to find a solution.
To an outsider, he was normally falling. But if...
Shigure met Hawk's gaze. Hawks didn't blink.
His heart thundered—louder than thought. Then—
<EMERGENCY! The person is identified as Rank 19 Hero across Japan— Haw—>
CRACK
Shigure blinked, his visor now cut into two pieces by a feather.
His body moved on instinct—he bolted.
Just...

Two figures clashed in a narrow alley, shadows jerking under dim streetlight.
A closer look revealed a boy hammering a man with a metal rod. The man took the blows, his movements crawling—like a video in slow motion.
"Damn, what are these...
4 Years Later.
A boy sat on a chair with a blank expression. His bright blue eyes contrasted with his tired look.
His hair was black with multiple big strands of silvery-white hair present, comprising half of his hair.
Crinkle
The sound of a wrapper being peeled off could be heard...
Shigure knew exactly what happened with his quirk.
He looked around and internally sighed when he saw the nearest camera far away.
With so many people walking, now surrounding the stopped truck, Shigure knew he wouldn't be implicated directly.
'Just in case, I will stick around a bit...
'Weak'
That was the first thought that came to Shigure's mind when he looked at the report.
"Tier?" He muttered.
His brows scrunched up—oddly cute for a 4-year-old trying to look serious.
"Quirks are classified into 5 tiers based on their capabilities when they are mastered," the...
