I would like to point out that while the “agoge” was not specifically designed to kill the kids, they did actively encourage it. And also subtly encouraged breaking the rules, provided you could avoid getting caught. “It’s only a sin if you get caught” was the general theme, well that and discipline.they had regular beatings and fighting as part of their training always with teal weapons and always against other recruits if you were injured you were expected to deal with it yourself or die. They would intentionally give them the bare minimum food, which they then encouraged the older boys to take from the younger and weaker boys, often causing the weaker and younger ones to die. It was quite normal for there to be several deaths among the younger boys before the next batch came in, and then the cycle would repeat with the new boys having their minimal rations being taken by the now older boys. Which lead to a particularly memorable death among the boys in training that has been remembered to this day. In which a boy died due to hiding a fox he had caught under his robe so the fox wouldn’t be taken away, naturally the fox didn’t much like this and started to tear at the boys stomach that it was right next to, but the boy didn’t break discipline or show any outward sign of being in pain ultimately leading to him dying while still standing in formation.(just to clarify he didn’t want the fox to be taken because he was starving and if caught would not only lose his meal (the fox) but also be beaten to within an inch of his life, which would further hurt his chances of surviving due to further weakling from his new injuries. He hid the fox while it was still alive because the overseers/trainers called for them to line up before he could dispatch it or hide it from the other recruits)
He knew that while not all Amazons were higher than level 1, their culture mandated young girls fight to the death for a level up. It reminded him of Spartan culture, but somehow more brutal. Engaging in a fight with such an opponent was an obvious mistake, but now it was too late.

It’s mostly a copy-paste of Norse mythology with some small changes… (both have a “world tree”, perun=thor, svarog=odin, etc.)
"Sadly, Slavic mythology is one of the most unexplored mythologies of them all, mainly because the knowledge behind it was burned by radical Christians and other religions that wanted to eradicate all teachings of my ancestors. I cannot tell you much since there isn't much good information about the Slavic pantheon itself. There are numerous sources where I don't know what is true and what is not."

But before I could walk any further a tentacle stopped me. It appeared again from the green rift just like before, grabbing me by the torso. A tentacle dragged me back inside the portal, much like a mother cat dragging her kitten away.

Name him “Dougal”. It’s Scottish/gaelic in origin. Means “dark stranger”. Which I find fits very well considering it’s meaning and the connection between the word eldritch and Gaelic (eldritch is derived from an old or Middle English word that means “faery land”)
Niall, an Irish male name that means 'Champion'.

Sadly that’s not a American Pokemon, as when making that generation of Pokemon there was a competition where different countries/regions could vote for Pokemon to be added to the game, I believe that braviary was for Brazil or somewhere there abouts. But what irritates me to no end is the one that was voted for by America was vanilish and vanilite, the two ugly ice cream cones, I mean a burger I can understand, but not only did we somehow not be the one responsible for the red, white, and blue eagle. But instead were responsible for some random ice cream cones…

Ah, yes the epitome of masculinity and madness that every WWII soldier aspires to be like! The man, the myth, the legend! “Mad Jack” or as he was christened “John Malcom Thorpe Fleming Churchill”. (yes that entire thing is just one guys name, I can now understand why when discussing him everyone uses his nickname instead) a man who would go into battle with nothing but a long sword, bow, and his trusty bagpipes. The man wore a kilt into battle and played the bagpipes while being shot at. I’m fairly certain he wore a kilt because they just don’t make pants that would fit balls that big.

Should be a water/flying type, I’m just convinced that game freak was too lazy to correct their mistakes and now I have to deal with the fact the ugly blue cloud birds are dragon type while a literal dragon is still fire/flying (charzard)
"They're Swablu, adorable little creatures." Swablu, with Island Clouds as base and modified using the Normal-type plate, was the first bird-like Pokémon to appear in Wano Country, but that's not all. This little dumpling couldn't carry people in and out of Sky Island.

Why do you have to include those ugly blue cloud birds? Their typing is obviously a mistake that game freak was too lazy to correct, I mean they’re a “cloud bird” so obviously they should be flying/water, or I’d even accept flying/fairy, but flying/dragon is just wrong. Especially when pokemon that are literally dragons like charzard aren’t dragon type.

The other reason, they were at the shore of the Black Tear Sea, was to plan for the next daemons that will join the ranks of the Carnage Legions, but also inhabit Scylla's domain as protectors, and spawn in this horrific Ocean of the Immaterium.

Not “just “like” the false arrogance of a weakling”, it should be “just “as” the false arrogance of a weakling “should”.”
The Celestial Dragons were breaking down. Their pride, ingrained in their very bones, was crumbling, just like the false arrogance of a weakling.

Use Wingull and Pelipper, people are used to news coo, and with the majority of land being near the ocean in this world seagulls are a common sight. Also you could have them work with Morgan’s to deliver news making people think they were selectively bred to better deliver news.
Strong in vitality, able to fly, and wouldn't attract too much attention. Among the many options, Bug-type Pokémon gradually became the preferred target.

Work a 72 hour work week, get zero relaxation, stress your immune system due to overwork and then die of the common cold
Generally you don't, best thing to do would be to settle down, and use whatever skills you have to ply a trade and just live out your life in boring Isekai hell -where they don't even have fucking showers- and eventually die well below the life expectancy of wherever you were yoinked from. If like me you want something a bit more interesting than whatever the hell peasants do in a medieval kingdom where books are scarce and the only entertainment is drinking and whoring if you're wealthy enough; then there can only be ONE option!

“The throngler” (in honor of a copypasta? (Can’t remember where I heard/read it) that states that the shorter an enchanted or magical weapons name is. the more powerful it will be. with the examples being that while fighting someone wielding the “sword of wailing sorrows” sound bad, fighting someone wielding something simply dubbed “the throngler” is probably far worse)
Your axe is also such an artifact and an extremely powerful one at that. You should give it a name. And it is possible that a consciousness might even awaken within it, although the chances of that are rather slim. (Feel free to help me with a name for the axe in the comments.)

As I saw the man sitting there, I froze in place, he was definitely Superman, just not another Henry Cavill, this one was Tyler Hoechlin in his suit from "Superman and Lois" tv show, which before I died only managed to watch season one.

Don’t add the flash, as a massive flash fan I can tell you that the justice league member responsible for the most deaths is technically the flash. resetting a timeline, eliminates not only any unique people of that timeline but also everyone that lived in that timeline, so even if you have the same person back in the original timeline the flashpoint version is still dead, not just on earth either the entire universe dies when flash both created and destroyed flashpoint.
Now, some of you had asked, why I didn't use the new wishes to bring all the justice league members to the Boys' earth, well, if I did that, it would become a Justice league story, and not a Superman story, but don't worry, some of them may come in the future, no promises.

That’s actually really heartwarming, especially since such doting character would likely help cubone whose tragedy is well known to cause them to lack a mother…
"Evolving? I don't quite understand, but that's okay. Little Cubone can always be my crybaby," the woman said, not intending to make Cubone fight.

She was likely the original author’s waifu, so he made her relevant to the story so he could justify giving her more “screen time”/lore. In all honesty I wish we got more lore and “screen time” for Hephaestus, as I know what I’m about.
"No," was all I wanted to say to her. I hated her character so much. Even if she truly was a reincarnation of the legendary Pallum knight Fianna, I couldn't care less. Her character was worthless, annoying, and overall stupid in my opinion.
