Chapter 204
Chaos (2)
At least Ye Lang was running in a fixed direction now . However, many people wanted to stop him in this area too . There were palace guards scattered everywhere .
There were so many people chasing after her, and they were embarrassed to admit that they couldn’t catch a mere gentle maiden!
They would’ve been less frustrated if the lady knew a little magic . If she were an expert, then it would make sense to not be able to catch her easily .
The weirdest thing was, this lady didn’t seem like she had any special skills . She was like a regular person, and she didn’t do anything that looked remotely magical . She was just very, very good at running?!
Was this lady’s zodiac animal a rabbit?! The guards were puzzled!
Sometimes, they could surround her but she’d slip through a crack…
At that was how the little chase grew into a dramatic battle-like chase scene . Even the emperor was alerted . He didn’t understand what was going on, but when he did, he was shocked .
It’s that nuisance of a maiden again! Why hasn’t she left? Why is she causing trouble in my palace?
Also, what are we paying all you guards for? You can’t even catch a young girl- who doesn’t even have magical powers! She’s just running and you all can barely capture her- if we had a break-in by someone just a little more skilled, wouldn’t you all be in deep trouble by now?
The spirit girl could run for a very long time because first, as a reanimated spirit, it had unlimited energy . Second, Ye Lang was perceptive enough to make decisions quickly . Third, and most importantly, he was a lucky man .
“ . . . ”
“Hey hey you idiot! You’re going the wrong way! You’ll be going back again!” shouted Coldblood Five .

“Oh, alright,” Ye Lang turned the other way .
At that point, there was already a crowd of guards waiting for the spirit girl . But she’d just turned in the opposite direction!
…
“Hey, there’s an alley here, not bad!” Ye Lang ran into a secluded alley- instead of down the main path where another crowd of people was waiting for him .
…
Luck . Luck helped Ye Lang coincidentally slip through every crack in the palace defence very easily . No one could catch them and this was incredibly infuriating for everyone involved .
How was he so lucky? Coldblood Five suspected Ye Lang had once seen the plan of this palace to be able to find safe routes .
In reality, of course, Ye Lang was too lazy to plan beforehand . Situations like these weren’t unusual to him at all . And if he did need some escape routes, he’d be able to find them easily . Let’s not forget he’d always been able to slip out of the Ye family home, although it was heavily guarded .
“Stay where you are! Don’t run! That’s the…”
Ye Lang was approaching something, and that made all the guards panic . If he reached it, all of them would be in deep trouble . And his crimes would be blamed on them .
That was because someone of a high position lived there, someone even the emperor himself feared . . .
“Hey, granny, we meet again!” greeted the spirit girl when she saw the empress dowager, protected by guards when she arrived in a yard .
“ . . . ” Silence .
The empress dowager didn’t expect them to meet so soon . The rest were even more confused . Why did this lady call her ‘granny’, did they know each other?
“What are you all doing? Who are you protecting her from?” asked the spirit girl, confused .

Who else? This is all because of you! The drama had triggered suspicions that this girl was dangerous .
“I don’t know either . There seems to be a situation outside, but I’m not sure . Come, fair maiden, come to me!” waved the empress dowager, gesturing for the spirit girl to come closer, so she could be safer too .
Empress dowager didn’t know that the cause of all their problems was this maiden!
“Oh, I’ll protect you!” Ye Lang had a good feeling about the empress dowager, offering to protect her . He didn’t know they were protecting her from himself!
When the spirit girl was about to approach, the empress dowager’s bodyguards stopped her . . . They still couldn’t be sure if this girl was a threat .
“Let her in!” instructed the empress dowager . The hesitant guards immediately leapt aside to let them in . Looks like many people were afraid of the empress dowager .
The spirit girl ran next to her, then got into a fighting stance .
“ . . . ”
“Fair maiden… I don’t need you to protect me, I have enough guards! Tell me, how did you come here, alone?” she asked curiously . Theoretically, if the girl wanted to visit, someone would’ve escorted her . Then again, no one would even agree to let her come .
“I ruined a plant in the garden, then your granddaughter demanded compensation . I offered to compensate and then she refused, so I left! Then, it seemed like she wasn’t willing to let me leave, and then she started chasing me, even getting a whole group of people to run after me, so I ran- that’s how I arrived here,” explained Ye Lang very quickly .
“ . . . ” the empress dowager fell silent . She had a thought, so she had to confirm, “You mentioned a group of people who were they?”
“I don’t know, I didn’t have time to check . However, they wear the same uniform as your bodyguards here!” said the spirit girl, pointing at the bodyguards .
“ . . . ”
Everyone fell silent again . Now, they were very sure that the chaos outside was all started by her . And here she was, offering to protect the empress dowager .
What were they supposed to say?!
At this point, the rest of the guards arrived . They surrounded the area as if to protect the empress dowager, checking to make sure it was safe .
“Your Majesty, was there a…” enquired one guard .
“I know, I know . Leave us, everything’s fine now!” waved the empress dowager .
“But…” the guards didn’t seem to notice the spirit girl behind her .
“Grandma! Grandma! Are you alright? There’s a cruel woman… Ah! Be careful! She’s right next to you…” panted the little princess, who’d just arrived . She very quickly noticed the spirit girl .
And at this moment, the rest of the guards noticed the spirit girl . She was right next to the empress dowager! Everyone was on guard now, for this lady might be a threat!

No Absolution, An Antagonist LitRPG
Colin is bored out of his skull and has been getting more and more restless of late, and his wife, McKenna, has noticed. To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future. On his first day in the game, he's betrayed for loot, killed, and even made to suffer. Unknown to these players, Colin (DevilWalker in-game) was an Assassin for hire that takes loyalty and betrayal seriously. It was never just about business, and this was not just another aspect of the game for him. This game was a gift from his wife, and he wasn't just going to stop. Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Thinking he was a victim, Kyren was adopted by the same hunter who had killed his parents. Now, Kyren has begun to undergo certain changes, changes that are coming just as they do to every member of Kyren’s heritage, changes that make him look indistinguishable from the abominations that his adopted father is sworn to kill.

Monstrous Path
This story is both dark and lighthearted, it will have a lot of deaths and gore scenes but not just for the sake of being edgy or something like that. Every being comes from someone’s life — a womb, an egg, the world, a God, and from itself. Then what about me? I came from a container, so what does that make me? Am I still a being? “I do not know — I want to understand — why?” This was my driving force to live when I opened my eyes, I had no need for food, I only needed to satiate my curiosity. But as I learned early on, life was not as simple as it seemed. Note: The Characters in this world would always have a reason for living, and the world moves not just because of the MC. This would also have a lot of tearjerking scenes (or so I would hope) Culture, Race, Government, and Language can and will be different and though some Races like Elves and Dwarves are present, please do not think that they are the same as every other.
