《Loki’s Successor System 》Chapter 100: Seeking Trouble
Advertisement
A gang of men slumped against the walls of a narrow alley, all glaring at a particularly weak figure. Such figure was none other than Jin; who just so happened to be out for trouble.
Jin's hands were in his kangaroo pockets. He glared at the staring men. "What? Why are you staring at me like that? See something you like?"
"I just see a pretty boy on the wrong turf," the leader, Caren, said. "I'm letting you off the hook. But hurry up and get the fuck outta here before I change my mind."
"A mind?" Jin asked, ambling toward the gang. "Funny. Since when did you grow a brain, Caren? Must say, your name's pretty. But you're one ugly fuck."
Caren gritted his teeth. His blood boiled. "You're looking for fucking trouble, aren't you, kid? Can't you see there are four of us here. And two of us are hobgoblins," he glared, "you don't wanna mess with us. Things will get real messy."
"Oh," Jin cracked his neck, "you're not gonna be getting any more messier than that. Those clothes are horrible. I take it that you're all single man, yes?" He cracked his fingers.
Caren kicked off the wall; and started toward Jin. When suddenly, a hobgoblin with an eyepatch grabbed his hand. "Boss," the hobgoblin said, "we're criminals on the loose. We're wanted. If a cop turns the corner, and sees us here; it's gonna be a whole lot of trouble for us, escapees."
A man, eating an apple, looked at Caren. "Yeah, man. Forget the kid. You're the same guy who told us to stay sharp for eight o' clock. That gives us," he looked down at his watch, "ten minutes. The bank opens at that time, doesn't it?"

"Yeah. Only in this country it does," Jin responded; folding his arms. "Plastic surgeons are all over. But it's gonna take a shit load of money to fix those faces of yours. I'd get a loan if I were you. After all, you are some ugly mother fuckers."
The man—wearing the expensive watch—knotted his brows. Caren glanced at him, serious. "You see? This kid," he clenched his fists, "needs to be taught a serious lesson."
Jin yawned. "Looking back, I did make some ridiculously stupid mistakes. Like trusting a bunch of demons. Got a fork right up my arse. Turns out playing with the devil isn't great at all. But as stupid as I was; I knew I wouldn't have been bad off as you all. All of you possess stupid faces not even a mother could love. Your scents are horrible. You honestly think you could rob such a popular bank with only guns nowadays? How naive. How ridiculous."
Caren snapped, "You don't know what you're talkin' about, little fuck!"
The eyepatched hobgoblin looked at Caren. "Boss; wasn't there really some new 'robbery detection' thing?"
The other hobgoblin—from Mexico—looked at the eyepatched one. "Zack, you are correct, mí amigo. El niño pequeño knows what he's talkin' about. The goverment inaugrated a new thing some days ago. Something that causes high-ranked officers to get instantly teleported to the heist. I don't know. That doesn't sound nice, mís amigos."
Jin smirked. "Even if this new inauguration didn't happen, your level of competence is still beyond insufficient. You would all easily fail. Now, if you were to have abilities, things would have gotten much more promising. Though your numbers would still be too little. I would have brought more men if I were you, Caren.

"Then again you do look like an audacious man — might I say. Just by the looks of things, I can tell that this little group here is on a suicide mission. Caren, my friend, you surely understand the risks that are associated with such a demanding task. A bank robbery on one of the most popular banks there is. And I'm sure you didn't even plan the heist. I'm utterly disappointed.
"But I have a proposal for you all, nonetheless. It's either you go in there and die seamlessly. Or ... you work for me."
The eyepatched hobgoblin, Zack, clenched his teeth. "How do we know you're not fucking with us?"
Caren hit elbowed Zack to his stomach. Zack doubled over.
"You cunt," uttered Caren, "You're sounding like you want to comply with the little shit."
"Complying with me," Jin said, "isn't nescessarily a bad thing. It's a horrible thing. Another suicide mission. You'll simply have to show me to the most dangerous men you know. Unfortunately, you all will be killed with no mercy afterward," he smirked.
Caren started to approach Jin. "What beef do you have with us, little fuck? Why do you suddenly want to kill us for nothing? That makes you the bad guy in this situation, when I'm supposed to play that role. This is far too out of character for me!"
Jin smirked again. "I have my reasons why I want to kill you. And my reasons why I can't spare your life after you agree to do my bidding. Besides, you have already seen my face. But I do suppose I was going to kill you either way, so it's not a compromise. It isn't anything personal though."
Caren grimaced. "What makes you think you can take the four of us, without getting killed first? Your arrogance pisses me off. Why are you so cocky, huh?"
"I guess being arrogant is second nature now that I have been born anew," Jin grinned. "So ... what's it gonna be? Are you going to serve this arrogant soon-to-be-god, and then die at peace? Or are you going to fight him and die terrified to your cores?"
The Mexican hobgoblin had quailed. "I don't know, boss. This kid ... something about him ... he's a bit ... a bit ..."
Jin grinned widely. "Ominous?" He asked.
"Stop putting words in my mouth, cocky Chico. I have been learning English since I was little."
Caren suddenly pulled out a Gun, and aimed it at Jin. "I've had it with this kid! He's clearly weak, you pussies! Don't tell me you're scared of some powerless, scrawny kid! If you are," he inched his finger closer to the trigger, "you better get your guns out. It's time to face your fears."
Jin stretched his neck. "Ah," he smirked, "you've chosen death option two."

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."

Right as Rage
Only 15 years have passed since the miscreant god, Villi, stole magic from the gods and gave it to mortals. In response the mortals seem to be doing their best to squander this gift. The Kingdom of Abrune regulates it, the church of the Sacred Hierarchies outright condemns it, but one 'wildman' from across the sea begins his journey after being cursed by it. Vakdragnar's curse manifests when he loses his temper. It has driven everyone he’s ever cared about away from him. Out of options and money, he travels to the city of Tirough and quickly finds himself on the wrong side of the law. He is persecuted despite his intentions to do good. How can you stand against evil if everyone you’re trying to protect thinks you’re the villain? And if this curse is truly a part of him now, what if they’re right? **************************************************************************************************** Right as Rage is a story I’ve been excited to write for some time now. I hope everyone is as excited to read it. This story is going to be told over several arcs, with each arc containing 7-12 chapters, and an interlude or two each. I plan on submitting new chapters once a week on Tuesday evenings.

Points of Light - An Oral History of the Collapse
Humanity endures. The phrase is not only an informal slogan of the reformed United Nations, but a rallying cry the world over. Even in the face of extermination, we struggled, we fought, and we endured. But just how close did we actually come? In our darkest hour, how many steps separated our species from oblivion? And are we even safe now? Were the mistakes made by earlier generations really so obvious? Or are they only so blatent when we look back with the advantage of hindsight? If so, what horrors might be staring us in the face even now that no one has the foresight to prevent? Drawn from thousands of interviews, as well as uncorrupted contemporary recordings and source documentation dating back to the early 2000s; Points of Light is a definative look at the last half century of upheaval, prosperity and carnage. It tells the tale of what happened, how it happened, who was responsible and most importantly, what we might be able to do to prevent it from happening again. This is a rewrite of a previously started fiction under a pen-name. Chapters will be updated every two days at 6:00 EST.
