Fantasy Assassin In A Modern World Chapter 2
Advertisement
As Fade was sleeping he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his head. He could smell a different scent in the air. This feeling he had, he was sure that he was no longer inside his cave. He felt something was piercing his skin on his right hand. There seems to be a needle piercing through and he could feel that some sort of drug was flowing through his veins. Not only that his body felt heavy and as he tried to circulate mana but he couldn't.
'Was I captured?'
Fade didn't open his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep as he tried to listen to the sounds of the surrounding area. He could hear people talking just outside the room. They were talking in an unfamiliar language, but oddly enough he could understand them.
"How is the patient in room 303?"
"Still asleep."
"Wasn't he the one who was in that car accident a few days ago? The one everyone's calling the miracle man?"
"Yeah, despite getting hit by a bus the injuries he sustained were quite light. It was truly a miracle. The moment he arrived at the hospital the doctors were baffled by what happened. The injuries he received didn't match the description of the accident that happened to him. After doing extensive checks on his condition they found nothing wrong."
They continued to talk in a conversation Fade couldn't understand. They were using terms Fade was unfamiliar with like hospital and bus. After listening a bit more Fade learned of what kind of place he was in.
'So this place is some kind of temple, a place of healing. Am I being experimented with new drugs or am I being used as a guinea pig for healing spells? Still, the main question is how did I get here? The last thing I remember was going to sleep in my hidden cave. Even though I was injured there's no way someone could have snuck into my place without me noticing... Tsk, I have too little information.'

Fade hated this feeling of being in the dark, still, he was not one to panic even in such a situation. So he decided to look around once there was no one near his room.
...
Fade waited for a few hours and when he no longer heard voices near his room he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a floating lamp at the ceiling. He then turned his head and saw that he was in a rather clean room and he was being injected with something. There were some kind of blank painting made out of glass hanging on the wall in front of him.
Fade then saw the thing that was injected into him. There were also blinking lights inside a square object at his side.
'What is all of these things?' Fade grew even more confused as he saw so many new things. He was planning to move around and check the surrounding area. Yet he stopped himself as he saw these things surrounding him. Fade started to think that maybe the blinking box that was making sounds would suddenly sound some sort of alarm if he removed the things that were on him.
'I can't get any information like this. Also for some reason, my body feels really heavy, but I'm sure that I'm not poisoned. Well, it's not like poison will work on me anyway. What's the best course of action at this point? My body is slightly heavy but I can still move it. I do sense a bit of mana still flowing through me, but the mana in the surrounding area is so little, they might be suppressing it. So I'm guessing the people in this place can't use spells as well. Hmmm, fine I'll act like I'm still extremely weak and unable to move while I ask the people in this place some questions.'

After deciding his next course of action Fade rested. No matter the situation he was in, one should rest as long as it was possible.
...
The following day Fade heard some people entering his room. He opened his eyes and saw two people present it was a man and a woman. The woman was the first to notice that Fade had his eyes open and was looking at her.
"Doctor, the patient is awake!" The woman was so surprised that her voice actually raised a bit. The man then looked at Fade in surprise. Fade then tried to speak in a way that made him seem like he was still groggy.
"Who are you? Where am I?"

Heroism and Bad Decisions
When superpowers appeared, the only reason civilization did not collapse was a century of comic books and movies making the new reality familiar and even welcome. When threats out of fantasy and science fiction became truth, people with powers rose up to the challenge because it was both a dream come true and the culturally acceptable thing to do. But not all is well in the new world. Monsters, power-related accidents and villains are on the rise. Governments, companies and opportunists are not staying idle. In this slowly darkening New Age, Valley Grant just discovered she has powers. Joining the ranks of heroes is the next step, right? What do you mean she's not qualified? Why won't hero teams let her join and why are superhero costumes more expensive than cars?! And above all else, why do cape fights keep ruining her make-up? Updates 3 times a week.

Sovereign
Is it possible to become a supreme being? After his withdrawal from Space Forces, in which he had spent twenty years of life, Captain Sava Gromov desires an extra reason for his existence. With a vague idea of becoming a merchant, he buys a secondhand spacecraft, loads the cargo, and leaves for an adventurous journey through the Solar System. On his way, he receives an SOS coming from a damaged research spaceship. To rescue the crew in a crisis is the easier part; the harder part comes afterward. The research team discovered an abandoned weapon, originating from a forgotten empire. Unfortunately, not everyone considers the vanished empire harmless. There is an organization actively destroying its remnants. Only two choices remain for Gromov: either to die or operate the unknown weapon in a slight hope that the archaic device may deter his pursuers. Choosing the latter, Gromov assimilates with inhuman digital being into the ultimate symbiosis of the organic and digital world. The Universe turned out to be a dangerous place: full of conflicts, threatening aliens, and unpredictable twists. The unmanageable chaos dwells in desperate need of a unifying force. Will Gromov become the Sovereign of the Solar System? Or will he become the ultimate enemy of humankind? There is an official repository for Sovereign on Github. If you are familiar with Github, you can suggest your edits there.

This is my first time writing anything like this, so I appreciate any and all constructive feedback that helps me improve. I started this project because I was bored of waiting for other stories to release chapters, and I will try my best to be consistent.I will update once a week at minimum, more if I feel like writing a lot :PCover Birb (aka Chummy) credit goes to: SpectralapparitionAs for the tags, mature because of steamy bird sex (jk) and some violence. Reincarnation occurs in this story, but doesn't play a large role, it's really only for setting.Thanks!

The Event Master
It is a reincarnation/transmigration story where the MC can only do magic that is socially condemned, but is protected somewhat by his powerful political station. For as long as he can keep it, anyway. With a little luck and some modern world thinking, perhaps he'll come up with something to change people's minds. Not forcefully though, that would be unethical. ** The MC is not a fighter. He's a gamer. He loves rpgs, movies, modern music, and telling stories. I intend to post at least once a week in the range of 2k words. If work eases up I'll increase the amount again. ((Work has instead intensified to the point where I'm struggling to get a chapter every two weeks. I'll pick it back up properly when I can, but for now it is on temporary hiatus while I still might post every once and awhile. This winter, I plan to go back to regular posts until the story finishes.))
