《Isekai Winner: Super Sweepstakes!》Chapter 33: The Trial
Advertisement
Tchadduiquerino led the way into a small square courtroom with three recliners on each opposing end. A tall lifeguard chair stood at the center, which he immediately claimed as his own.
“OK,” Tchadduiquerino pointed Paige, Olivia, and I toward the right side of the room, “Welcome everybody to my Fairness and Justice court.” He summoned a comically large gavel out of thin air. “I am going to be the Chief Justice during this event. Please, Ms. Plaintiff, present the evidence that you have collected.”
Ghoudd Insurance Employment Contract
By signing this contract, you agree to:
Spend the rest of forever working at Ghoudd Insurance for free. Go to hell if you don’t. Obey any orders from Tchadd Ghonzalles forever.
Your Signature: _________________________
Paige spoke up. “Your honor, I would like to contest every premise of this contract. The document’s assertion in Article 1 is an impracticability, as Emma will eventually die at some point, and the same applies to Article 3. In addition, Tchadd was required to provide his signature in order to bind Emma to these terms, and so he himself complied in following the rules laid out as per Line 2. This includes ‘going to hell’ if he fails to work at Ghoudd Insurance for free, and as I’m sure he is aware, he has turned quite the profit off of this business of his.”
Tchadd looked annoyed. “You raise fascinating contentions, Paige. It’s unfortunate that all of them suck. Emma cannot die because Ghoudd Insurance holds complete ownership over her soul, so it’s implausible that she might perish in any permanent sense. As well, I never signed off on a contract of any kind nor do I possess any obligation to, as I exclusively use awesome and special contracts that have validity regardless of whether or not my signature is present.”

“Your honor, the defendant’s position makes extensive use of criminal practice in all aspects. There exists no such contract that only one party is required to sign, and no individual has the authority to create one. It is clear that this contract and every similar contract is void of legal authority.”
“Delicious…” Tchadduiqerino licked his gavel, “My pal, you have an exceptional point. There is not any contract that requires only one signature. Tchadd, it would be helpful if you explained yourself.”
“Your honor, I don’t explain myself to haters.”
“That is OK. I am going to give you all my statements because I am also the jury in this case. I have decided that the contract is invalid and so I have also decided that it has no legal authority. You are all able to leave now.”
Tchadd flexed his muscles. “Well, okay, bitches, I still own Emma’s soul, so I can force her to work for me if she doesn’t want to end up in hell. She’s coming with me regardless. I don’t know what you thought all this would accomplish.”
I was still a bit confused on the whole ‘soul’ thing at this point. “I mean, even if you donate my soul to hell or whatever, I don’t think that forces me to physically be there. Like, I’m not in your bank vault or anything right now, so what would even change? I don’t understand how having my ‘soul’ does you any good at all.”
“I could send you to the vault if I wanted to, and I will if you keep being a bitch. The only reason that I let you roam free is because you are useless to the company without your physical form. Similarly, hell restricts all of its souls to its domain without possibility for escape.”
“What about all of the other people who escaped Ghoudd Insurance? Why didn’t you just donate their souls to hell too?”
“Taking possession of our employees’ souls is a brand new policy. You were the first one, actually.”
“Damn. That’s unlucky.”

Apoch's Twilight
"Reincarnated Into My Half-Finished Isekai VRMMO Tabletop RPG" Once upon a time, there was a boy named Bull. Bull fancied himself something of a writer and game designer, and had half-created a homebrew roleplaying game for himself and some friends called Apoch’s Twilight. It was a perpetual work-in-progress, as Bull only wrote enough to fill in whatever gaps he needed to run the game for his friends. Then one day, Bull was hit by a truck. Bull should have looked both ways before crossing the street. Bull wakes up at a character creation screen, with an AI prompting him to create a character. The name of the game he’s creating a character for? Apoch’s Twilight. Say what? I plan to update weekly, give or take, while staying a couple chapters ahead for my Patrons. Thanks for reading! -- Bull

Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.
