The Numbers That Brought Our Fates Together Chapter 34: My Things Belong To Me.
Jason picked up Corey's phone and walked quickly towards Melinda, who was standing still at the same spot.
"Have you seen what happened? Tell me, now!" Jason's voice was unusually rude, and his usually careless behavior evaporated without a trace.
"I … I didn't see anything. It all happened too fast! They took the girls away and left!" Melinda's voice was trembling and she was stammering.
"What did they look like? The car, describe me the car! Number, color, model, anything!" Jason grabbed her by the shoulders and began to shake.
"LEAVE ME ALONE! I didn't remember anything, you got it?!" Melinda pushed the young man away and hurried off from the place of abduction.
Hiding around the corner, she took a phone out of her pocket and dialed a number with trembling fingers.
"*****, I did everything as you requested. But, you know, I'm a little scared. Nothing serious will happen to them, right?"
"I seem to have asked you not to contact me by name. Especially when you're out in public."
"Excuse me, Master. I won't do that again," the girl answered guiltily to the severe reprimand of the man on the other side of the line.
"Well done. You did your job. You can be free. I will deal with the rest myself." The man answered in a cold voice and hung up the phone.
'Damn, when he talks like that, I begin shaking with fear,' the girl closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. 'Well, okay. I'm sure he is worth it,' Melinda opened her eyes, smiled slyly and quietly left the Academy.

David turned off the phone and looked around. He saw Jason not far from the gate, who was typing something on his phone.

"Hey, Jason! Hello! Have you seen Elena? I can't get through to her," David suddenly called out to the young man, which made the latter almost jump on the spot.
"Oh, sorry. You were so focused; I didn't want to scare you."
"David! Bad things happened! Corey and Elena have been kidnapped! They were taken away by some car, I did not even have time to remember the number!"
"What did you say?" David's face instantly darkened.
At that moment, Jason's phone rang and he hurriedly answered the call, "Hello, dad! Finally, you answered! Dad, Corey and Elena are kidnapped! We must urgently find them! … What does "call the police" mean? Who has more opportunities – the police or the Minister of Defense? Can you have a special department involved? They will quickly track them. Elena has to have a phone with her … What do you mean, "We have to wait"? And if something happens to them? … I don't give a shit about your meeting! They are my friends!" Jason hung up and swore loudly.
"Now calm down and explain to me what happened here," David looked seriously at the young man.
Jason had never felt such a stony stare on himself.
"Ok, now I got it," a few minutes later, David was aware of the situation and various thoughts were rushing about in his head. "Do you have a laptop with you?"
"Yes, here it is," Jason opened the backpack and took out a laptop.
David entered his data cloud, and some unknown program, that Jason had no idea about, showed up on the display.
"What are you doing?"
"I am trying to locate Elena," David replied with restraint, never taking his eyes off the monitor.

"What? How?"
"I'm trying to track where her phone is. Although, when it is turned off, it is a little more complicated to do."
"Can you track her phone?! This is great! What are you, a professional hacker or something?" Jason instantly cheered up, and hope lightened his heart that they could find girls faster than he thought.
"Me? A Hacker?" David looked condescendingly at the young man. "Am I like a superhero from a novel? Elena spoke the truth when she mentioned your vivid fantasy."
"But then how can you know where she is?"
"I installed the beacon in her phone when she was sleeping," David replied as if it was an absolutely ordinary thing.
"The beacon… when she was sleeping…," Jason immediately choked as he tried to imagine how it looked in reality. "What are you, some kind of a stalker? Does Elena even know that you're a pervert?"
David looked away from the monitor and smiled mischievously, after which he immediately replaced the smile with a serious expression on his face. "I just don't like when others touch what belongs to me. I need to know where my things are. And in this case, we are talking about my woman."
Jason cringed as if he had been naked in the winter in the cold, "Damn, man, you give me the creeps, ugh."
"Relax, men do not appear on my list of priorities," at that moment the program on the display poked and a small dot appeared on the map. "There she is! It came out faster than I expected."
David slammed the laptop and picked up his phone. "Hello, Rick? Are your super specialists from the security department in the main office now? … Ok, will be at the Berne Group building in half an hour, gather them all. The matter is urgent and serious. You will know all the details when we meet."
David hung up, picked up Jason's laptop, and headed toward the parking lot, where his car was.
"I'm with you!" Jason shouted after him, unable to follow his quick step.
"If you come with me, then be ready to take up a gun."
Jason stopped when he heard the words of David, but when the image of Corey emerged in his head, the young man's doubts immediately faded away.
He took a deep breath and kept on going faster.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic

One in a Billion
My name is Xelean, since I can remember I always saw strange shapes floating in my field of vision. When I asked my parents about it, they looked at me concerned, perhaps thinking that I had a vision problem. Seeing his reaction I quickly said that it was all a joke. However, when I learned to read, I understood a little better what those images with letters were thanks to the following message:'Congratulations soul of the multiversal soul flow!!! You are the soul number 1 Billion that will be born in the world to which you were destined, in consideration and because the current situation of the world, certain benefits will be granted:[User interface][Inspection][Accelerated balanced growth] Sincerely, The Hive.' ---------------------------------------------------- Author Note/Warning:English is not my first language. One of the reasons why I started writing this is to improve my writing skills, so if you see any errors, please leave a comment. In this work there may be similar things/references to different novels (from webnovel and outside of it), role-playing campaigns, movies, anime and manga; since they shaped the idea that I have of the stories and I think that, in part, many of the ideas that I have in mind are consciously or unconsciously inspired by them.

New Escape
In a world not that unlike the present exists a fantastic technology to transfer one's consciousness into a game. A new frontier for video games has been opened, and my first experience in this world is an rpg. An escape from monotony and school has led me to experience a brand new world.(I originally lost my motivation for this story and kinda wanted to kill it, but I brought it into this world so I will fix it. I'll probably re-write the first chapters and include a more compelling story. Didn't really write the story for people to read in the first place and after I put it on here I stopped caring, but I am changed!(not too much but just a little))
