Shounen Jump accepted our manuscript as a one-shot, and we'll see how it goes from here. Zastin used his name as his pen name, and I, of course, couldn't choose anything other than Stan Lee.

Zastin questioned me why I chose it of all the names. I answered that it was the name of someone I have great respect for.

Days went on. Days turned to weeks, and weeks became a month. During that time, 'The Spectacular Spider-man' one-shot was published in the magazine, and it met with great success, and a series was demanded a serialization. Zastin and I were overjoyed and went to work right away. The worst part of my work was meeting Akiho more often. Fortunately, she didn't do anything to me and acted professionally. Even with all that, I didn't drop my guard. The last time I did was the time I almost lost something important.

I wasn't tired anymore because of my love life since I got 'Hentai protagonist stamina B'. It only worked in bed, though. I could go on and on with Lala, and no matter how long I would sleep afterward, I would feel refreshed and ready to go. It solved one of my problems. Even better is that it doesn't increase my lust, so I don't have increased needs. I won't die or anything if I'm not having sex for a week or something.

On the other hand, I gained a new problem. Risa started to avoid me. It wasn't evident at first, but as she was acting as usual when everyone was around, as soon as we were left alone, she would suddenly have something to do. It took me some time to notice, but I started thinking why she started behaving like that when I did. Was it because I grabbed her boob? She said that I could, so I don't know why she would be angry about it.

I also got the title 'Sex maniac'. I should feel ashamed that I was doing it so often that I got this title, but I only feel pride.

I was being spied on for the last month. I think Saki may be a stalker with too much money, the most dangerous kind of stalker. I didn't do anything to her spies since they weren't doing anything harmful to me. I played tricks on them a few times, though...

My training was progressing... with bending, I mean. I still can't figure out the deal with Haki and what's holding me back. However, the good news is that Celine loves my water bending and the tricks I do with water. I also could finally turn water into ice and started learning ice techniques. Once during a full moon, I tried to water bend, and I could feel the difference in power I could muster. Good to know that moon affects my water bending as well. I'll need to be careful of a lunar eclipse.

Everything was going fantastic. Having nightmares were negligible right now. I don't even sleep that long, and I'm not tired. They're annoying at best, but I'm still anticipating the therapy Karen promised me. I am a little scared, but Karen improved a little, and maybe I should trust her this one time...

P.S. I know that you're calling me old behind my back, Karen, and good luck Ryoto :)

'What!?'

Karen: "WHAT!!!? Does this old bitch thinks that she can play with me like that!!!? Does she realize what kind of damage I can do to her!!!? Does she realize who she fucks with!!!?"

'Karen, what is the meaning of this?'

Karen: "When a bitch wants something to do, she'll do it even if she'll make enemies on the way..."

I started losing my cool.

'Karen, what. Is. Meaning. Of. This!'

Karen: "*Sigh* I asked for help with the problem you're having. It looks bad now, but I can promise that the results will be amazing. One time I wanted her help with hooking up with someone, and she embarrassed me in front of him, so I didn't have a chance. Later I found out that he was a douchebag. The moral of this story is it will be bad, but the outcome will be great." She is a little early, though... or did I forget to tell her when to start?"

'I don't like that, I don't like that at all. And why is objective unknown? It's a fucking objective! How can I complete it without knowing it!? It's not a secret bonus objective but a main one!!! While your embarrassing secret is tempting but what is 'something interesting'!?

Karen: "Knowing her, it could be anything. It can be something mildly interesting like funny-looking rock or anything else, really. Blackhole spawning near Earth, alien invasion, a world with reversed gender roles. I don't know, and we won't know until you complete your objective."

I cursed for a few minutes straight until I calmed down a bit while Karen was waiting patiently for me.

Karen: "Better?"

'No, but what can I do? At least something good will come from this, and time will be stopped. So what now?'

Karen: "Now be ready for a transfer."

'What, wai-!!!'
