Shadow Slit!
The tattooed man felt a chill running down his throat. He stiffly turned around and looked behind him.
The demonic shadow was still behind him. It was staring at him like an assassin, waiting for the moment to execute its target!
It had killed their men instantly!
The elites who were protecting Black Diamond were a lot stronger than his own lackeys, yet they had still died at the same time so easily!
Black Diamond was utterly terrified. She had been relieved that she had elites of the guild as her bodyguards just a second ago. Even if the Enforcement Union showed up, her bodyguards could still buy her time to escape. However, they had all died after their throats were slit by their own shadows.
She did not even see the man Cast a spell. Even if someone was killing a chicken or a monkey, they would have to chase after them and swing their knives. How did he kill the elites of the guild so easily?
“What? Do you think you have plenty of time left?” Mo Fan asked dangerously.
“What do you want!?” the woman asked in a trembling voice.
“Nothing much, I just want to see how strong the Black Ornaments are, how powerful the Guild of the Wicked is, and also find out if there are any real experts among the Black Ornaments, since you all are so reckless that committing crimes is so natural for you,” Mo Fan replied indifferently as he sat down on the table.
“You…you are asking for your death!” the woman yelled.
“Perhaps, let’s hope the person you ask for help is able to kill me!” Mo Fan replied agreeably.
—
Lunatic, he’s a lunatic!

Kachasa had never seen such a crazy man before. He could have killed her easily, yet he had let her go instead!
Kachasa could only think about being safe if she managed to reach Crete’s Merchant Guild after her elites were killed. She did not expect to reach the Crete’s Merchant Guild in one piece.
“You idiot, what did you do to provoke a guy like that!?” Kachasa swore.
“I have no idea. I was just following my orders to take care of a man called Harper, but that Asian killed my men and asked me to look for help, so I came to you!” The tattooed man could feel his legs going numb.
He did not really realize how strong the guy was when his lackeys were killed. After all, his lackeys were only strong enough to kill normal people, but the sight of the elites’ throats being slit so easily scared the crap out of him!
He did not expect the Asian who had served him fruits and salad to be so terrifying!
“Can we even survive? I’ve never seen a Mage as scary as him!” the tattooed man shuddered.
“He’s only going to get himself killed. It’s not like you don’t know who’s in charge of Crete’s Merchant Guild!” Black Diamond Kachasa hissed.
——
Crete’s Merchant Guild was located at the waist of a mountain, its back letting out on a peaceful bay. Its front was a luxurious commercial street.
The merchant guild was like a small European-style palace. Expensive cars were parked in its outdoor parking lot. Beautiful women in branded clothing were everywhere.
“Congratulations, Mr. Babbitt, I believe you will be leading the merchants of the whole Aegean Sea in no time!” A woman in a mink coat handed over a glass of red wine to a man with a smile.

“I still have a long way to go. Besides, the Aegean Sea is currently in the middle of a war, which has a great impact on economics. It’s not easy to handle the business during this period. On the other hand, Miss Yuri, we merchants are envious of you because you have been dealing with the military for a long time,” the new president of the merchant guild, replied to her.
As the two were talking, a merchant with a big belly rushed up to them and grabbed Babbitt by the collar.
“Assh***, you son of a b**ch, I’ve given you everything I had. What else do you want? Give me back my daughter!” the man yelled angrily.
“Ah, isn’t this the owner of the olive grove on Green Sprouts Island, Mr. Lin?” Yuri said idly.
“The olive grove was destroyed together with Green Sprouts Island. I’m afraid Mr. Lin must be mentally unstable. Anyone who encounters such a tragedy will behave like this. I understand what you are going through. Your daughter passed away during the incident. The Tyrant Titan killed her. Please calm down,” Babbitt told him.
“You f**king assh***, you think I don’t know who you are? I will expose you and make you pay!” the man yelled.
“HAHAHA, feel free to do so, but everyone in the Crete’s Merchant Guild now takes orders from me,” Babbitt smiled.
“I will report you to the military, the Hall of Knights, and the Holy Judgment Court. You are going to pay for it, all of you. You won’t make Crete your filthy nest. You will suffer the consequences!” the man shouted.
The smile on Babbitt’s face soon vanished. He glanced at another man nearby.
“Why don’t I do you a favor? He’s just a fat pig who’s full of himself. It’s normal for him to drive his car off a cliff in an accident,” Yuri offered with a smile.
“You have my gratitude.”
Yuri turned around. Her slim arm suddenly exerted a shocking force and pushed the fat man, who weighed over a hundred kilograms, to the edge of the cliff.
“What a waste of a nice car,” Yuri lamented, as she waved her arm. A stony hand suddenly reached out from the ground under the parking lot. It grabbed a luxurious car and tossed it down the cliff.
The man was now rolling down the cliff. The car followed him and smashed him to a pulp.
“Miss Yuri, your cultivation should be strong enough to overwhelm the Aegean Sea Magic Association. Even the knights of the Parthenon Temple aren’t comparable to you, am I right?” Babbitt complimented her.
Yuri was about to respond when she noticed two figures rushing toward them. They were in a great panic, as if something was chasing after them.
“Isn’t that Kachasa, Mr. Babbitt’s most beloved little concubine? She seems to be in trouble,” Yuri observed.
Kachasa ran up to Babbitt. Her face was drenched in tears. She looked like a madwoman who had been wandering aimlessly on the street.
“Mr. Babbitt, we have a problem!” Kachasa blurted out.
“Calm down, tell me what happened. There’s nothing that I, Babbitt, can’t handle!” Babbitt declared confidently.
“Someone is trying to kill me, someone is trying to kill me, he’s behind me, right behind me!” Kachasa rambled on.
“Is that so? He’s behind you? That’s interesting. He might not know the true identity of Crete’s Merchant Guild!” Babbitt grinned.
A merchant guild? That was only a disguise!

A Wish Beyond Chaos
Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. When a longtime plan’s failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. Slow paced, character focused story. Gets very dark at times. Basically like Lord of the Mysteries with more comedic aspects at the start. Chapters are released Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the first vision being noticeably shorter. Have fun reading.

Children of Danu, People of Skill Book 1. (LitRPG/Gamelit)
Hi all, this is my first attempt at fiction ever. I'm sure it's awful, first attempts at new things usually are. Hopefully you can find something you like in it. I had a great deal of fun writing it. It's a basic Litrpg/Game, God sends you to a new world to do their bidding plot. I Know I did too much telling and not enough showing. I'm working on that. The underlying system is one haven't seen or done much. a full Point Buy system, like Gurps, Champions or the Hero system. After writing it a while, I see why folks don't do it. The record keeping is tedious. And once you start doing math in subsequent chapters, you can't go back and add more action, just because you dread redoing all the math. I've got about 80k words written in two "books" on the novel so far. I'm going to edit chapters and try to drop a couple a week till it's finished. Hopefully that will work for folks. I need to punch up the amount of action. I'll be working on that as well. Thanks, Cal-P.S> The cover art is one of the two CIrce Paintings By Waterhouse.
