《A Modern Day Demon King》* Chapter 9 – Work Ⅲ
Advertisement
The moment the women’s restroom door firmly closed shut the female clerical aides indignantly shriek, “That bit** is crazy!” “It’s because she’s a self-entitled Usonian!” “She won’t really hurt us, will she?” The women all frantically crowd their leader who silences them with a single hand gesture.
Hú Jiao delicately says, “We shouldn’t be wasting our time on her, it’s not as if any of the eligible bachelors are interested in her. They may be interested in dating her, but only to play around. We all know they will never dare bring a Usonian woman to meet their parents.”
The women all nod their heads smugly at their leader’s wise words and chime like parrots together, “You’re absolutely right, Hú Jiao. That slut isn’t worth any of our time!” The women then return to what they were doing as they fix their makeup and continue to gossip, before heading out. But as the women do, they all nervously eye the subtle dent in the bathroom wall. It didn’t pay to annoy violent Usonian women.
However, the delicate office beauty, Hú Jiao wasn’t one take such a face-slapping incident down. One way or another, Hú Jiao would see that bit** destroyed. Hú Jiao confidently trots out of the woman’s restroom with a plan in mind to be set in motion that very evening to be completed during the weekend and to unfold on Monday morning.
After work, Hú Jiao stops at her apartment to take a quick shower and dress up, before heading out to a high-rise hotel. Ordering champagne, Hú Jiao coyishly sits on the bed to wait. Minutes after a nicely dressed older gentlemen lets himself into the room and lets out a groan at seeing, Hú Jiao already on the bed. “Are you trying to make me go mad?” The finely dressed man asked.

Hú Jiao seductively licks her lips and croons, “Gāo Jin, I am just trying to look my best for you.” Hú Jiao climbs to her feet and purposefully bends over at the table to allow the Gāo Jin a glimpse of her perked backside. Gāo Jin’s eyes are glued to her swaying bottom as Hú Jiao pours a glass of champagne for them both.
Hú Jiao returns with a glass in each hand and carefully hands one to Gāo Jin. “To us,” Hú Jiao said as she raises her glass in a proposed toast.
“To us,” Gāo Jin chimed back, before drinking the champagne in a single gulp. While Hú Jiao delicately sips her drink, Gāo Jin wraps himself around her as his hands hungrily roam her body. Gāo Jin nibbles on Hú Jiao’s flawless neck as Hú Jiao unhappily murmurs, “Honey, I am being accosted at work.”
Gāo Jin halts and glances with concern at Hú Jiao. “Who is it? Is it a man!?” Gāo Jin growled in fury.
“It’s not a man, it’s a western woman. She’s the newest accountant at the company and she doesn’t bully me, but all the women on the floor. She thinks that we’re lesser than her because she is a Usonian woman with a degree and we’re merely ordinary Anatolia office workers,” Hú Jiao dejectedly said as her lips tremble with pain.
Gāo Jin’s eyes darken with fury at the injustice! As a proud Anatolia citizen, how could he tolerate or allow a foreigner to bully his woman and people?! “I’ll see to it that’s she’s fired by Monday!” Gāo Jin solemnly promised.
“Thank you!” Hú Jiao happily said as she tilts her head upward to be kissed. The conversation completely ceased afterward as they began to pull at their clothes and everything ended up on the floor as their limbs intertwine on the bed.

On a roof of a building opposite from that room stands Reyn invisible to the naked eye. Reyn narrows her eyes at the disgusting scene before her, but what really filled her with fury was Hú Jiao’s hateful words. As if Reyn was so biased to judge humans by merely the color of their skin! If anything, Reyn was biased towards all humanity simply for the reason of their being humans!
Reyn turns away as she leisurely glides across the city’s rooftops completely unseen and poetically muses to herself, “Now in the past, I’ve tried forgetting and my foes I could forgive; Trouble is I know it’s petty, but I hate to let them live.”
Snickering to herself, Reyn glances down at her watch that reads 11:30 p.m. as she quietly lands on the veranda of her apartment. Letting herself in with a dark smile on her face, Reyn dials Lisa’s phone as it is Friday, 10:30 a.m. back in the States. Despite being at work, Lisa does not hesitate to take an urgent break to answer her best friends call.
Lisa sneaks to the empty employee lounge and says, “Okay, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing really, but I just have a girl who’s trying to get me fired by Monday. Do you have a pen and paper?” Reyn asked.
Lisa hurriedly grabs a sticky note and pen from the office just outside of employee lounge. “Okay, I have one. What do you want me to do?” Lisa knowingly asked.
“Her name is Hú Jiao and Gāo Jin is the man she’s sleeping with. Did you get all of that?” Reyn confirmed.
“Yes,” Lisa muttered back.
“Thanks. Now, Hú Jiao is a clerical aide on the accounting floor, while Gāo Jin is a board member of sorts within the company. Check your inbox, I uploaded the pictures I took of them and I sent their current location to you. On a quick note, can you make this viral?” Reyn pointedly asked.
Lisa snorts and says, “Darling, I can better than that. And don’t worry, Reyn, you’re in safe hands.”
“I know, that’s why I called,” Reyn replied.
“Okay, then I gotta get to work. Talk to you soon,” Lisa happily chimed, before ending the call.
Lisa scurries to her computer and takes a moment to stretch her fingers. An unknown fact to most people was that Lisa Penn was one of the youngest hackers in the world. When Lisa was ten years old, she defrauded a national cooperate bank. Given her age, Lisa was merely put on probation and banned from touching a computer for over five years.
After probation, Lisa got wiser as a hacker. Mostly Lisa lay low, but everyone now and again the spark would come back, and Lisa would have the urge to commit a crime. In this case, Lisa was just ensuring that justice was served and protecting a friend. And that certainly was not a crime, but an act of community service!
And so, with a smile on Lisa’s face and unknown to the rest of the office, Lisa would not be doing spreadsheets at work today. Lisa would be saving the world one person at a time and ruining it for others. Hey, but in her defense, they deserved it!

8 132Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
8 613Spike Hellsing Autobiography: The Chosen
The path to becoming a God is not a simple one, and if you're stranded in a universe with no connection to the Multi-Verse, your options are limited.Spike Hellsing, Half-Elf, Vampire, Samurai, Mercenary; Chosen by the Demi-God: Fate, to assist in her ascension and restore balance to the universe she created, known as "Infinity". Spike's first task is to join forces with the rest of The Chosen against the destructive entity: Chaos, but Spike and The Chosen are far from "ready to fight demi-god" status.The recollections of a pen and paper roleplaying game from the viewpoint of a single character within it's universe. Everything that takes place in the book was decided by dice and random numbers so that means all the epic shit that takes place had a realistic chance to blow up in my/our face(s), making this entire book that much more awesome. With that said Spike is known to indulge himself, and may have left out embarrassing moments or "bent the truth" to make himself seem more cool, but hey, that's role playing for you, deal with it and enjoy!
