[Oval Office, White House]
"Ladies, and Gentlemen, I am sure that all of you know the reason I called all of you here?" the President asked solemnly.
"Yes" Everyone in the room chorused in agreement.
"Then what do you think I should do to avert our current crisis?" the President asked. For a few minutes, nobody said anything.
"Sir, why don't we ban the Quibbler and tell the public that we did it because they were spreading fake news to cause unrest in our society. It is obvious now that Quibbler is connected to Elysium" a Colonel from the back presented the idea.
A man in the front scoffed at him. "Colonel, you should remember that this isn't a battlefield and you can't use battlefield tactics here. Banning the Quibbler is simple and framing them for telling lies will be even simpler but what won't be simple is the shit storm we will face after that" a man that was wearing a business suit said. The man didn't have any ID.
"So, you are saying that we allow the Quibbler to continue this agenda? If this continues to go on then our own citizens will rise against us" a secretary of defense retorted.
"Do you even know who Nemuri Kayama is?" another man in a business suit asked. The man had an FBI batch hanging around his neck. "From your looks, you don't even know who she is. Then let me enlighten you… currently, she is the sole owner of Kayama Industries, and through her company, she holds the world economy within her palms" the man finished and huffed.
"If that isn't enough, she also owns shares in all our companies… Rand Industries, Stark Industries, Trask Industries… you want me to keep going? She also owns the major energy corporations in our country and the reason we are telling you this, is because Nemuri Kayama herself is backing the Quibbler" the Finance Minister decided to pick up the argument from where the FBI Director dropped it.
"Sir, may I speak freely?" one Special Service Agent came forward and asked the President. The President gestured him to speak up.
"Sir, there is no hiding this anymore, the Quibbler isn't the only problem… Leviathan handed over all the evidence to every news agency in our country. Sir, I think we should put everyone involved with the illegal experiments on trial" the Agent said but no one in the room looked happy.
"So, you are saying that we throw them under the bus and wash our hands with them?" Fury growled in anger.
"No sir, you misunderstand me, I am saying that we put them on the trial and convict them but no one will check if they are actually being punished or not? We transfer them to a secure facility…" the Agent left the last part unfinished.

The gears started to click in their heads and everyone in the room smiled. "That is the best thing I have heard today. So, does anyone have a better plan?" the President asked with a proud smile on his face. No one said anything. "Then let's proceed with this plan" the President said and a lot of people nodded their heads and a small cheer erupted.
"What happened to the corpse of the first monster?" when everything calmed down the President asked.
"Sir, the whole convoy has gone missing… most of my men were found at the roadside but none of them remember anything… they don't even remember that I had given them a mission" a man in army uniform reported.
"That's Fox's M.O. Nobody except Fox uses that kind of method… if it was Leviathan then he would have simply killed all of them" Fury said as a matter of fact.
"What are the chances of Leviathan and Fox working together?" the President asked Fury.
"Very likely" Fury said with a grimace on his face.
The President released a huge sigh… "Fine, we follow the plan. I will make the announcement today. All of you are dismissed, Fury stay back" the President dismissed everyone. All of them left the room one by one except Nick Fury.
"Fury, you said you wanted to talk about the Ten Rings? So what is their status" the President asked in a solemn tone. Fury nodded his head and straightened his back.
"Sir, right after the economic collapse they disappeared without a trace. Some said that they were gone for good but that wasn't the case… recently I have found some signs that they are hiding in the Asian countries" Fury said and the President leaned back in his chair in deep thoughts.
"After we deal with our current mess, send a couple of your Agents to scout… no assault, the mission will be only for scouting. From what you are saying it seems that they are lying low and they want everyone to think that they are gone… I don't want to spook them. Let them think that we have no clue about their survival" the President said.
"Yes, sir. It will be done" Fury said and got up from his chair and started to walk towards the door. He was about to leave the office when the President called him.
"Keep an eye on Newman, he was looking quite spooked… I don't want another mess in our hands" the President said and Fury nodded his head and left the office. No matter how much either Fury or the President hated Leviathan… they just couldn't afford Leviathan making another appearance.
Their problems started yesterday when all of the dirty laundries of General Ross were brought in the open along with pictures of his files by the Quibbler, later every news network was handed the same evidence by an anonymous source. Just like the President said it was a huge mess and not only that the body of the monster was also gone.

***********
While Fury was still talking with the President inside the Oval Office, one Colonel left the meeting with a huge grin on his face. The Colonel went straight to the girl's washroom and transformed into a beautiful woman with a bright green mohawk.
"Eh… infiltrating the White House was a piece of cake" the woman said and immediately tripped on the floor but somehow stopped herself from planting her heart-shaped face on the floor.
"Bugger you floor!" the woman exclaimed and opened a toilet booth and found a man was stuffed inside. The man looked exactly how the woman looked a few moments ago.
"Hump! No one can stop Agent Tonks" the woman proclaimed proudly and started to modify the man's memory so that he would think that he was in the meeting. As soon as the woman was done, she disappeared from the washroom without making a sound…
[POV Reo]
Ah… I really love this sight. I don't know why but burning down a building with Fiendfyre, destroying a building with Shinra Tensei, or Hakaing a whole building gives me a lot of satisfaction.
"Is this the last one?" Nat asked me while looking towards the burning building.
"Yes, that's the last one… Trask Industries is no more" I said with a proud smile on my face.
"I am still surprised that when you told Nemuri about it she didn't throw a tantrum" Nat said and looked at me in awe.
"You are forgetting that when I told her, she was half stupid from all the sex and she was begging for more, and all of us know what Nemuri wants more…" I said and smiled.
"Can't argue with that" Nat conceded and both of us stood silently watching the beautiful sight before us. Currently, the two of us were in Greenland.
"What's up Luna?" I suddenly spoke out.
"That's cheating… I wanted to play guess who with you" Luna whined and pouted while making puppy dog eyes.
"Ahahahaha… sorry. Let's just consider that I don't know you are here and play the game?" I asked Luna who continued to pout.
"It doesn't work like that" Luna chastised me. But before I could say anything more my phone buzzed. I took out my phone and saw a text from Dora.
"Nice to see you too Luna" Nat greeted Luna and Luna beamed at her with one of her signature innocent smiles and greeted her back.
I opened the text and saw that Dora had sent me what the President had decided to do with Ross's lackeys. I didn't even tell Dora to do it… good girl. I will reward her later.
"Reo, I have something important to tell you" Luna said with a serious look on her face. I knew that when Luna was in this mode then it must be something serious like world-ending things.
"Ok… then, I guess I will leave both of you" Nat decided to leave since didn't want to interrupt our chat. She also knew that Luna being serious like this is something really bad.
"No Nat, you can stay" Luna said looking towards Nat and smiled at her. "Tell me Reo what are your thoughts about bringing people from the dead?" Luna asked me. Well, honestly, I have never thought of practicing necromancy… at least that's my personal idea.
"Something that shouldn't be done. Necromancy is a really bad branch of magic" I said, my personal ideas aside, Necromancy isn't something that should be practiced in common worlds…
Yes, in some worlds like Solo Leveling, The Second Ranker, Kill the Hero, or Stop Friendly Fire, the curtain between the living world and the afterworld is pretty thin so the MCs get away even after using Necromancy but in most of the Worlds, the result won't be good for you if you try Necromancy.
"But I am not talking about simple Necromancy… people will be brought back from the other side… in their complete form" Luna said with a grave look on her face.
"That doesn't sound like something nice" Nat pointed out. I think I know what Luna is talking about.
"No, that's not good at all. Dead people should stay dead… things like this shouldn't be messed with. There is a balance that must be maintained… the dead belong to Lady Death and they should enter the cycle normally. If this thing goes through then a huge calamity will come to this world… this world will be judged" Luna said almost desperately.
So no Project TAHITI and from being judged did she mean Living Tribunal or the Host?? Looks like I need to work harder… there is no fucking way that I can fight someone like Living Tribunal or even the Host. I need to tell Momo to make the spaceship…
"Sure, I will stop them from doing that" I said and Luna nodded her head with a smile.
"Good… and I hope that you find all the answers quite soon" Luna said and pecked me on the lips and disappeared. The heck did she mean by that last line??
"Looks like we need more training" Nat said and I dumbly nodded at her…

Heroes Die First
It was after World War Two ended; rumors spread of people wielding amazing powers or mutating into horrifying monsters. Seventy years later, heroes and villains dominate the news and battle in the streets, discrimination drives mutants into the criminal lifestyle, and the governments of the world are struggling to handle the rapidly shifting paradigm. Maxmillian Grants, like any sixteen year old boy, wants to be a hero and he has a secret: he has the power to do it! Except, when he actually looks into the risks and the rewards he discovers that being a hero is not really worth it. Being a villain, on the other hand, certainly pays well. If you don't mind risking being sent to prison and being hunted by heroes and other villains. Max, not being an idiot, does mind both of those things. Instead of being a hero or being a villain, Max decides to take the third option, to be a vigilante! His plan? To hit the criminals in the gut and run off with their money, making the world a bit brighter at the same time by taking down the bad guys. But how long can he actually manage alone? Can he really navigate through the dangerous world of supers and capes without declaring for either heroes or villains? Or will he be sucked into the web of plots and drama that is the life of those with superpowers? (Cover photo by Sebastiaan Stam, downloaded from Unsplash)

Sustaining the King's Life
On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid. ** 1-2 chapters a day (GMT+8) ** (The artwork belongs to me.
