Inadvertently Invincible Chapter 23
“There is something wrong.”
Lin Fan stared at the dry well and was lost in thought.
Why did Wei Xiong take the initiative to enter the dry well?
Based on the previous situation.
If Wei Xiong wanted to get in the dry well safely, he should have asked Lin Fan to lead the way since Lin Fan knew the details about the dry well from Dr. Sun.
But Wei Xiong sounded fine going in there all by himself.
Lin Fan thought of the plots that often occurred in film and tv-dramas, the traitors will always find ways to cover up the truth.
“This is weird.”
Lin Fan muttered.
“What’s wrong?” Wang Zhou heard Lin Fan muttered and didn’t know what to say.
He thought about whether he should tell Wang Zhou or not.
“Sir, did you remember what Wei Xiong said when you talk to him?” Lin Fan said.
Wang Zhou was shocked and said in a hurry, “There might be a danger?”
“No, Wei Xiong will return safely.” Lin Fan said.
He foresaw two possible outcomes.
The first was Wei Xiong came up safely and reported that the situation was not dangerous, and everyone could safely enter the dry well, but Lin Fan could not find important clues.
The other was that something suddenly happened. For example, an explosion in the dry well. Wei Xiong came out and reported the situation inside.
“That’s good, as long as people he is safe, the rest are not important.” Wang Zhou replied.
He didn’t get what Lin Fan was trying to point out.
Lin Fan doubted Wang Zhou’s intelligence.

Suddenly.
Someone shouted.
“Something happens! Smoke comes out of the dry well, and Wei Xiong is still inside.”

Lin Fan guessed Wei Xiong was afraid of being busted, so he burned down all the evidence.
Lin Fan was very calm.
Lin Fan thought maybe Wei Xiong brought a certain book with him. Because that book would be useful for him to threaten someone else.
“Wei Xiong, hurry up!” Wang Zhou shouted into the dry well.
The smoke was very dense, and it was difficult for an average person to breathe. It was impossible to see clearly what was inside the well.
Suddenly.
A figure came out from the dry well, it was Wei Xiong covered with ashes.
“Sir, I’m sorry. I’m stepped on a trap in the dry chamber and caused a fire. I wanted to take those evidence before the fire spreads, but I didn’t expect the fire was too big, I’m sorry… “
Wei Xiong was sad, helpless, and deeply regretted his actions.
Lin Fan looked at Wei Xiong’s expression. If he hadn’t watched a few hundred films and tv-dramas, he would have been deceived by that guy. Just look at that expression.
That man was like a professional actor.
“It’s okay, it’s enough to see you come back safely.” Wang Zhou patted Wei Xiong’s shoulder, “What did you find inside?”
Wei Xiong said, “Sir, there is a secret room at the end of the passage, where there are so many oil lamps, and I did not care about it at that time, but a letter on the table attracted my attention. Then the oil lamp exploded, and after a while, the room was engulfed with fire. I wanted to take the letter away, but the fire was too big. The letter was already burned in a blink of an eye.”
“…” Wang Zhou sighed.
“Well, if the clue is gone, we can continue to investigate the dry well. It’s good enough to see you are still alive. Hurry up and see the doctor.”

“Yes, sir.” Wei Xiong responded, and when he was about to leave, he stared at Lin Fan’s eyes.
Lin Fan’s eyes made Wei Xiong felt awkward.
Wei Xiong was a cunning person in Lin Fan’s eyes.
Lin Fan was sure Wei Xiong was the one who burned down the passage, and there was no letter at all, only books.
Lin Fan observed Wei Xiong when he came out from the dry well, Lin Fan didn’t see him bringing anything when he came out.
Lin Fan thought Wei Xiong already memorized the content inside of it, and he burned it down after that.
If Wei Xiong knew what Lin Fan was thinking about him, he would definitely try to kill Lin Fan.
Nobody has actually seen the passage with their own eyes, how could they be so sure about Wei Xiong’s statement?
“Master, do you know Lu Nian?” Lin Fan asked.
Wang Zhou was puzzled. He didn’t know the name. He shook his head. “I don’t know, what’s wrong?”
“In the pavilion today, that person bribed me with 12,000 silver money, he told me to release Dr. Sun, and then I killed him in a fight. I take that 12,000 silver money to dig about the relationship between them and told Dr. Sun he will be released, I found Dr. Sun knew what the important secret in that dry well is.”
Lin Fan was an open-minded person who would say that he accepted bribes without trying to hide the fact at all.
His intention was clear.
It was to remind Wang Zhou that the enemy could bribe someone with such a huge amount of money, and not everyone could resist the bribery like Lin Fan did.
“I will order my men to investigate Lu Nian’s identity. Okay, wrap it up.” Wang Zhou said.
Lin Fan was not stupid in Wang Zhou’s eyes.
But Lin Fan was a bit frustrated that Wang Zhou hasn’t realized anything from what he said.
When he came to that world, he knew there was cultivation there, and the goal was definitely to become immortal.
Lin Fan had to do everything step by step, he must not rush things.
Lin Fan left and wanted to follow Wei Xiong.
But he thought about that again.
In the current situation, Wei Xiong should be cautious, and he will never expose anything carelessly.
So Lin Fan decided to find some new technique.
It was very difficult to fight the enemy with just one technique.
Hunter Guild, Library.
“You can find the technique you want here, but I suggest it’s the best thing is not to be greedy.” Li Zhiyong said, he also had a good opinion of Lin Fan, after all, Lin Fan was his life-saver.
“Thank you.” Lin Fan responded and then walked inside.
“Wait.” Li Zhiyong stopped him.
Lin Fan looked back, wondering why Li Zhiyong stopped him.
Li Zhiyong pondered for a moment and said, “You have saved my life, this is my token of gratitude. I hope that you will find something good. And I warned you not to learn something randomly.”
“Will there be a consequence if I do?” Lin Fan asked.
Li Zhiyong laughed and stopped talking.
“Just go in and choose the technique you want. Finding the right one is the best.”

The Cosmic Interloper
Synopsis: A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, she ends up in a fantasy world of full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hilarity ensues. Features: - No blue boxes or cultivation, this is not a LitRPG nor about martial arts - Hard-ish Sci-Fi meets hard-ish magic - Generally trying to keep this "rational" Rationale: My primary goal with The Cosmic Interloper is to write something that I myself would enjoy reading. Of course, that’s not the only motivation, but I think it’s the most important one for me to keep in mind, especially as the author. In fact, this whole story came about because after consuming oodles of fiction, I found myself craving a very specific type of story which I couldn’t find many examples of. Then I asked myself, “why not write it myself?” and here we are. Disclaimer: In general, while I’m not writing a comedy, I do intend for this story to be funny and a bit wacky or absurd. That said though, I am using this story as a vehicle to explore some potentially dark topics including (but not limited to) slavery, speciesism/racism, and existential questions of self, consciousness, and identity. Still, I’m going to leave the “traumatizing content” tags off, because I don’t feel that what I’ve written so far (or plan on writing) exceeds the threshold that would be necessary for me to tag it thusly. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way she views the world is not the objective truth (if such a thing even exists).

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Tale of the mage hero [Completed]
so I've been into rising of the shield hero for a while now... a lot of things about it ALWAYS bugged me starting with the fact that the world functions like a game and the heroes are supposed to fight together in a party.... BUT WHERE'S THE ARCHMAGE?! THE BLATANT DISRESPECT TO THE MAGE CLASS IS REAL AND ANGERING! so I decided as a gamer who rather enjoys being a mage and healer, I'd rectify that. and other things. for all intents and purposes this is a self insert but I will be using my proxy OC that I use in my nutty fangirl daydreams. DON'T WORRY! I'M NERFING MY PROXY! this will follow the plot of the anime because..... I want to. and I'm..... LAZY~! and using the manga is too much trouble and the light novel is 800+ chapters long. So FUCK THAT! anyways if you read this and think it's lackluster then I want to see you try your hand at writing tate no yuusha fics! no that's not a challenge or insult it's just a desperate plea for more tate fics... we need some more variety! Alright I'm gonna be honest here. This story is laughably bad. So read at your own risk. The only reason I'm not revising it is because 1 I'm Lazy as fuck and 2 to serve as a lesson on what NOT to do for new writers. So like I said, read at your own risk.
