An actress in our midst!, Ch96 – Wake up!

Content warning: Possession, Character death


The situation was growing worse and worse by the minute. The apocalypse didn’t happen – thank god for that – but the worst case scenario was supposed to be J...

A story beyond Actress

With Actress being just a couple of chapters away from being finished (!!!), I think it's time to assess what ya'll would want me to work on next. Thus, a poll!

Now, I'll be honest. Inspiration is a fickle thing, so I won't guarantee that th...

An actress in our midst!, Ch95 - The ritual!

They stood in a formation. Frost stood in front of Jessica, Spark to the left, Bloom to the right, and Flame… behind her. She took that spot to avoid Jessica seeing her. As much as it hurt, she didn’t want Jessica getting distracted by second ...

An actress in our midst!, Ch94 - Farewell, until we meet again!

A show of force’, he called it.

Not too bad as far as excuses went.

After all, the demon lord needed to get back on the puny humans for sending a spy to infiltrate the demon army in order to destroy them from the inside. ...

An actress in our midst!, Ch93 - Overdue explanations!

So this was the demon lord…

Pretty Flame couldn’t help but feel apprehensive in his presence. His armored form from head to toe, his tall frame, and most importantly, the seemingly bottomless well of magic that even Flame, the worst magi...

An actress in our midst!, Ch92 - You’re alive!

Baugh couldn’t help but internally sigh in exhaustion.

It had only been angry shouting and calls for execution since Tepes and her crew broke out of the castle and left everyone reeling. He was really straining himself to contain all the s...

An actress in our midst!, Ch91 - It was all for her!

“Just wake up! Please! I don’t know what to do anymore!” yelled the blond girl in desperation as tears streamed down her face.

Of course, it didn’t help. Trish just wouldn’t wake up. Whatever that accursed fifth weapon had done to ...

An actress in our midst!, Ch90 - The cracked mask!

“Ughhh…” Jessica groaned as her body shook.

“There, there… it’s over… you did well…” Flame murmured as she gently rubbed Jessica’s back.

Frost was holding her hair and the other two magical girls stood behind her ou...

An actress in our midst!, Ch89 - Performance of a lifetime!

Kyle was definitely out of his depth. Regular criminals, he could handle. But monsters who could level a building with the flick of their wrist? He very much doubted his gun would do anything, despite his hand tightening around it.

An actress in our midst!, Ch88 - Where is Tepes?!

Not being able to fly sure sucked. With the fragment of Nomed still in her, she could do a scuffed demonic transformation and sprout her tiny wings if she focused hard on it, but obviously, they were as useless as ever.

On the bright side, t...

An actress in our midst!, Ch87 - We meet again!

It felt a bit ironic.

Since they no longer had the vast powers of the magical girl weapons, they had to be content with using what little magic their new demonic weapons could muster. The thing was that they had gotten them from Jessica… w...

An actress in our midst!, Ch86 - Splitting up!

They managed to lose the pursuers on their tail. Luckily, none of the generals followed them. The idiot had probably stalled them long enough.

Jessica still wasn’t sure how to feel about that. She had told him to do better, but th...

An actress in our midst!, Ch85 - The great escape!

Everything was going wrong.

From the moment Cody overloaded that artifact to set off an explosion, it was one disaster after another.

When Salem immediately showed up, it took all their effort to not shout at her for dumping all the re...

An actress in our midst!, Ch84 - Death of a general!

The demon lord, Hecate, and the dumb spirit all stared at her, aghast.

Distract?! Kidnap?! My lord! I knew it! She’s a traitor! She must have been planning on kidnapping our princess!” the demon hissed.

Like hell! View Post

An actress in our midst!, Ch83 - Distraction!

With a surge of magic, Tepes appeared in the portal room in her full glory, clad in her enchantress dress, spear in hand, and an intense aura around her.

The usual gatekeeper minion shied away from her as his eyes met her glare. “G-good da...

An actress in our midst!, Ch82 – The master plan!

Jessica never dealt well with embarrassment. She usually just ignored whatever embarrassed her, bulldozed through the matter, and distracted everyone with other topics. As long as everyone promptly forgot about the embarrassment, everything was go...

An actress in our midst!, Ch81 - Stop distracting yourself!

It probably would have been smarter to run away. To leave the battlefield as soon as it started. But Rick couldn’t help himself. After all, Jessica, the actress who was supposed to be playing Tepes, had just pulled out Tepes’ actual m...

An actress in our midst!, Ch80 - The old adversary!

Like an enraged bull, Tepes mused as the man formerly known as Forneus charged right through the wall behind her, completely missing her.

It had been a while since she had dealt with Forneus. Back then, she had just barely learned t...

An actress in our midst!, Ch79 - The old guard!

It had been so long since they fought together. Years had passed by since the three of them had  retired and they all had moved on since then, not to mention one of them had worked with different magical girls for quite a while without the ot...

An actress in our midst!, Ch78 - The old scar!

Why her?

That was all she could think as her former mother, piloted by a demon, sent a surge of dark magic in her direction. She was so stunned, she didn’t even reflexively deflect the attack as she would have normally done.

An actress in our midst!, Ch77 - The return!

“Come on! It’s over, Tepes! Your army is defeated, you’re out of magic, and you’re the last one left!” Flame pleaded, looking convincingly distraught.

Jessica growled at her, making sure to exaggerate her staggering motion as she l...

An actress in our midst!, Ch76 - The day before!

She took a deep breath and then exhaled as she looked at the stage from behind the backstage. “I can’t believe… it’s already happening tomorrow.”

“Hmm? You nervous?” Jessica teased.

“Well… yeah. Kinda,” she admitted...

An actress in our midst!, Ch75 - We’re back, baby!

Jessica strolled through the streets, a contemplative frown etched on her face.

They had managed to more or less eliminate the worst case scenario from their fifth weapon transfer plan. But in doing so, they’d also lowered the chances of t...

“I return, my loyal subjects! Back and stronger than ever!” the wannabe director said while posing dramatically in the doorway.

Jessica couldn’t help but scoff. “Your loyal subjects? Hmph! You mean my loyal subjects...

An actress in our midst!, Ch73 - You are on probation!

Jessica sat on a chair next to Baugh, staring at the comatose Trish. Sally and Hecate stood nearby, also looking at the ticking time bomb. The atmosphere was tense. Neither Hecate nor Jessica were joking around or even cracking a grin.

“So, anyone know what this is about?” Jessica asked.

“I have an idea… but we’ll have to see,” Cody replied.

“Oh yeah? Then spill.”

An actress in our midst!, Ch71 - The call!

She let out a little satisfied sigh as she entered the living room, towel wrapped around her damp hair. With how busy everything had been lately, it was the little things that brought her joy.
