《Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics》Chapter 67: Solomon’s Key

”You ran over someone?”
Barbara exclaimed, and Daisy on the other end of the phone had to further explain.
”He was fine, woke up early the next morning, and called himself Thor Odinson, the mythical god of thunder.”
”I don’t know if you’ve been following the news in New Mexico lately, but a hammer fell here some time ago that no one could pick up, and Thor said it was his Mjolnir.”
”You mean he picked up the hammer that no one could pick up and then you guys believed he was Thor, the god of thunder?”
Barbara said uncertainly.
”No, that hammer seems to be confiscated by the FBI. Thor forced his way into their camp the day before yesterday and said he was going to get his hammer back, but it turned out he couldn’t lift it.”
Barbara: “…”
Why do I suddenly get the feeling you’re teasing me?
”Then why do you still say that Thor is real?”
”Because of yesterday!”
Daisy said with unusual excitement: “About yesterday afternoon, a strange-shaped flame-shooting… robot… or some kind of creature? Anyway, a tall monster attacked the town.”
”And then Thor’s friends, the Four Warriors, found us through the Rainbow Bridge, and tried to warn Thor that Loki wants to harm him.”
”Wait, isn’t Loki Thor’s uncle?”
Barbara wondered if her best friend had been brainwashed by someone.
”Those are myths spread by mistake. Loki is actually Thor’s brother!”
”Anyway, I don’t know what’s going on, I just saw Thor almost killed by the monster when Mjolnir, his hammer, flew all over to him by itself and changed his body!”
”He was really able to summon thunder and demolish the monster in three or two blows.”
Daisy’s tone was full of excitement.
”You know what? Jane is in love with Thor, and Thor likes Jane, it’s one of those stories where gods and mortals fall in love, and it’s actually happening right before my eyes!”

”Uh … wow, sounds like you had a thrilling and exciting trip to New Mexico.”
Truth be told, Barbara didn’t particularly believe what Daisy was saying, and maybe Daisy was just brainstorming a bit about her mentor Dr. Foster’s love.
But the kind-hearted Barbara didn’t want to burst Daisy’s bubble at all, so she went along with Daisy’s story and said back.
”Well~ I’ve said what I’ve seen and heard, and I want to know if there’s anything fun happening in Gotham this time of year, like my idol!”
Cold sweat dripped from Barbara’s forehead, “Daisy, don’t you even watch the news? Or is the New Mexico town you went to has no access to the internet?”
”Phantom Kid stole Queen Elizabeth’s Tamil ruby, and you’re still unaware of such a big deal?”
”What! Tamil ruby? Is it really the necklace of the Queen of the UK?”
Daisy said in shock.
”That’s Queen Elizabeth we are talking about, she must have a lot of bodyguards around her… Did Phantom Kid succeed? Was he hurt?”
Listening to Daisy’s eager guesses, Barbara’s cold sweat was flowing more and more.
«My father is the commissioner, and you are so concerned about a thief in front of me; are you kidding me?»
”Phantom Kid is very powerful, you do not need to worry about him. This time, not only the GCPD, but even the FBI, CIA, and MI7 had their forces spread. But he still managed to manipulate them all.”
Barbara wasn’t in a good mood, yet she told Daisy all the things that happened in Robinson Central Park.
She told her all, except for the fact that she suspected that Kid was Mathison. Barbara never confessed her suspicions to others, even Gordon didn’t know.
Only Agent Bean, who happened to bump into her, knew about it, but the misunderstanding had been resolved.
”It’s well expected from Lord Kid. He really is amazing. What a pity that I wasn’t there to watch such a spectacular scene …”

Daisy’s tone suddenly changed.
However, Barbara’s next point of concern was not Daisy’s change of mood.
”Lord Kid… did you just say. Lord Kid?”
What kind of odd name is that?
”Oh, in fact, I previously joined a Phantom Kid fan club, and I found that his fans like to call him “Lord Kid.” I guess I just followed along… with that?”
The moment Kid was mentioned, Daisy’s mood inexplicably changed for the better again.
Barbara could only smile dryly with her mouth twitching in awkwardness.
”Oh yeah, after Jane and Thor got together, that guy Thor teleported back to Asgard on the Rainbow Bridge, and I don’t know when he’ll be back. So, hopefully, he won’t forget about Jane, or by the time he gets back Jane will be gray-haired.”
Daisy began to gossip again, “Isn’t there a saying that there has been a year on earth and a day in heaven? If that is true, Jane’s situation will be pathetic.”
Barbara: “…”
Is this Daisy’s way of getting too deep into the drama?
”Finally, Barbara, good news for you!”
”What’s the good news?”
”Jane’s scientific work is finished. She has confirmed her idea that Asgard really exists. So, my internship is also finished, now I can study for my Master’s degree next!”
”That means I can go back to Gotham soon, and we can get together properly.”
From Daisy’s words, you immediately know how happy she is. However, Barbara herself was a bit unhappy.
Not only unhappy but she had a sudden urge to drink soda…
After she mumbled and hung up the phone, Barbara felt that the joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected.
While you’re rejoicing over a second-year college exchange student status, someone your age is already working on a master’s degree.
Hmmm …
We all have a bright future ahead of us.
In New York, a pen store that hardly gets any customers, Bob had almost gone through ancient Roman mythology, Greek mythology, Celtic mythology, Norse mythology, and even Egyptian mythology.
But he couldn’t find anything related to the six disasters, nor did he know what the converging six disasters meant.
”Maybe I should try Indian mythology or Japanese mythology next?”
Thinking about it, Bob packed up his studies, then left the store and went straight to the New York Library.
Generally, with such an ancient mythological system, only fragmented information can be found on the Internet, useful content can be found faster by going to the library.
”The Vedas, the Brahma Book, the Forest Book, the Upanishads, the Ramayana, the Mokobharata, the Koli world system … How come there are so many books? My head will explode if I read it all.”
Library, Theology/Occultic Texts area.
Bob came here and took a look at the scary number of books and completely lost the desire to look them up.
”Sir, may I ask which system of mythology you are looking for?”
At this moment, a staff member of the library came over, holding a book in his hand.
He saw Bob was staring at the bookshelf with a tangled face, so he asked.
”This … I need a little book that popularized Indian mythology or Japanese mythology, but I want the kind that’s more comprehensive, preferably one that roughly summarizes the entirety of that system’s mythology.”
”Oh, that’s the youth science version, right?”
The staff suddenly said, “Sorry, sir, you should go to the area that contains children’s books.”
He just smiled kindly at Bob and then shoved the book in his hand into the corner of the bookshelf.
Bob: “…”
Suddenly, Bob’s eyes fell on the book in the staff member’s hand, and there was a flash of light.
”Wait!”
Bob rushed up and took out the book from the bookshelf that the staff had stuffed in.
”Solomon’s Key”…

Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.

The question that remains is where will the winding road that is his future take him? Will he study for countless years to become one of the Holy Mages? Will he strive to become a knight and fight his way up to the fabled Throne of the Battle Saint Pietra? Will he become the finest craftsman to have ever graced Estoch?

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
