《The Immortal Mutant Teen》Chapter 18 - Home
Advertisement
As they lower down a fake floor slides into place to cover the platform. Once they reach the first sub-level all you can see is vehicles, sports cars from all over the world, some even customized with turret attachments and rocket launchers, Bulletproof SUVs and Humvees, a Black Hawk helicopter, and antique cars, dating back since 1885, the first level is just a garage.
Acheron walks to an elevator nearby and gets on, "I'll make dinner, so put away the car and come down"
Rose gets back in the car,
"Okay! I'll be right down, Acheron-sama"
The Belau's have bases just like this one in every major city all over the world. Some are covert, while others are overt, Acheron himself prefers the covert ones better, he hates in when someone comes knocking on his door for no reason, like asking 'if they heard about their lord and savior' or what nonsense.
All bases have a standard of 5 sub-levels, some have more, and overt bases have above-ground levels if the house or building that the base is built under, are counted.
This Tokyo home is just your standard 5 sub-level secret base as an abandoned factory as a front, but it has its problems, for example, the homeless and those teens that like to spray paint their tags everywhere they can.
For those occasions, Acheron had a simple solution to the problem… their disappearance. Rose said it was too drastic of a response, so instead, he put fences with warning signs saying
"IF TRESPASSERS CAUGHT, YOU WILL DISAPPEAR!!"
He finds human nature so fun and interesting, for once in a while you will get one that just ignores all the warnings and comes sniffing around, that person is never heard or seen from again.
Acheron's Art of Assassination, as he likes to call it, is impeccable and flawless, spent hundreds of years perfecting it, even those in his family have no way of unraveling this Secret Art of his.

Rose still says it's too over the top, but he at least he gave them a warning, so she lets it go. Be it children or elderly, Acheron has no qualms eliminating those that even remotely threatens the security of his family.
The second level is the living area, there are 14 bedrooms each with their bathroom, a kitchen fully stocked with the latest of cooking appliances, a living room with the best furniture money can buy, and there is even an indoor hot spring the size of an Olympic swimming pool.
The third level is the training facilities, the whole floor is equipped with the latest training gear, be it machines or free-weights, everything is here. In the center, there's a fighting ring, similar to those found in wrestling or boxing matches.
Towards the back, there is a Virtual Reality combat simulator, this simulator is decades ahead of the rest of the world, with an AI that learns your skills and uses it flaws to defeat you, though as advanced as it may be, Acheron is the only that has never been defeated by this simple AI, though his family thinks its because he was the one that built and programmed it, so he can exploit it and cheat.
The fourth level is referred to as 'The Vault', for that is not only hold every weapon you could think of, it is also home to an actual vault. The vault schematics show that is the size of a soccer field but that's all they know, Acheron has never let anyone inside, only he knows what secrets lay within.
The only one that might know a little more about the vault is the one that helped him design the security system but after she was done, she found that Acheron tweaked it so that not even her, one of the world's best hackers, could get in.

Acheron had put a firewall around it so impenetrable that not even nuke could scratch it. The fifth level and final floor is known as the Command Center, here Acheron can communicate with anyone around the world, it is his workplace.
He sends missions to his family from here and reviews all performances of his family and workers from this spot. It is also the home of 'Athena', one of the world's most advanced artificial intelligence, created by Acheron himself. She is so advance Acheron sometimes thinks she has actual sentience, for she likes to tease and act like his wife every chance she gets.
Currently, she is under maintenance, Acheron made a new upgrade to her systems and is currently running a status check, she should be up and running by next week.
Back on the second floor, Acheron is currently making some handmade noodles for the ramen he plans to make for dinner.
As he cooks, he tells Rose about his day and how interesting and entertaining things have been turning out.
After hearing about what transpired between him and Kotone, Rose couldn't help but think of putting a hit out on her, she bit her thumb as she raged inside her mind about how a child wishes to be with her Acheron-sama.
After giving her a list of names of people he wanted her to investigate, he served dinner and continued to talk about his day and his plans for the week.

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.

Psyche Reflection
In the universe, Year 20XX, there exists people who are able to enter the cognitive realms of others and alter their perceptions and emotions, for better or worse. These people are known as "Divers" for their ability to dive into the psyche of others in a process called the "Psyche Dive". The cognitive realm is unique to each individual, hence it's also named the "Reflected World". There, one's innermost emotions and beliefs are materialised when the balance between the id (source of psychodynamic energy, represented by our desires and individuality.) and the superego (represented by our conscience and need to conform to society) is disrupted, with the id overpowering the superego more often than not.As a result, the excess psychodynamic energy on either side results in the formation of Spectres, ghost-like beings that haunt the ego (an individual's personality) and push a person to ruin by clouding his perceptions of reality, influencing his decision making in the process. If left unchecked, Spectres would continue to grow in number and power, eventually consuming the ego completely to form Demons within the person's psyche. At this point, it is extremely difficult to restore a person's id to its original state, as Demons are often extremely powerful and well-protected by their army of Spectres. People who are possessed by Demons are often twisted individuals who commit the most heinous of crimes, as they have lost all of their conscience and morals, fuelled only by their desires. The Divers are the last hope for humanity against the Spectres and Demons. Armed with the power to use their cognition to fashion into effective weapons against these abominations, the Divers seek to cleanse the minds of victims from such insidious influences. 21 year old Lee Jin Kai became a Diver abruptly on his first day as a University student, after a chance meeting with a beautiful foreign exchange student by the name of Aiko Verde. Despite having different motivations, the pair must now stick together, as they traverse the psyches of various people while gathering comrades, resolving real-world issues in the process... Inspired by Persona 5.
