《The Dark Wish Maker》Prologue Part 1

Title: The Destroyer of Tokyo
At the base of a river in Tokyo, there lay piles of bodies that pile up to a hill of corpses and sitting on top of the hill of corpses is a young girl wearing a black sailor uniform from a high school nearby.
She is reading a math booklet with an extremely intense stoic expression and her beautifully shape face is getting hotter by the second as steam started to rise from her head.
“It is a no good.... I just suck at math no matter how many times I read this....” she said in a tired voice and sigh out loud.
“Too bad that this world doesn't run on muscle and need me to rely on something I am terrible at no matter how much I try.... what am I going to do?” she said despairingly and look up at the bright sunny sky with a weary expression.
“Fighting is the only thing that I am good at more than anything else, but since I am a girl, how many guys are willing to fight with me and not wuss out due to some phony chivalry?” she looks down as her expression turn into that of a sad one.
“Len need his medical treatment as well, if only I can make some more money, like how those protagonists can make money by just using the stock market, but that is impossible for someone like me, who couldn't understand even the basics of the stock market and its inner working....” she then looks back up into the sky and made a daydream expression wishing that she was smarter or had more money to pay for her younger brother medical bill.
[Then do you want to make a wish for wealth or for superior intellect?](Unknown)
However, she suddenly heard of a small, but audible voice close to her ears from somewhere. When she turn around in hurry she only saw that nothing was out of place. The grass rustle in the breeze and the river flowed and the city bustle with noise. All is normal as it can be and she is the abnormal one.
There was nothing that could have said that voice anywhere, no less manage to sneak behind her and say it near her ears. She could sense someone watching her even if it is 10 miles away, yet she could not find a being that manages to sneak behind her and whisper that close to her ears is preposterous.
“Maybe I am just hearing things lately or could that be one of you?” she asks pointing to herself and after a second, her expression suddenly changes into that of a mean scowl and said.
“No. it was not me who said it and besides if I want wealth I would just take it and I am already the smartest being in this godforsaken planet, so why would I ever need superior intellect for?”
“If you are so smart, then why don't you help me take the finals that are coming up, huh?”
“Hey, someone has to keep our little sister happy in this dark place and it is best to keep our cards hidden, with you as our main personality, no one would suspect that you are not an idiot that only know how to fight and when the moment arrives, I can quickly dispose of those people with the best means possible”
“You always say that, but what about Lens medical bills? We are running out of options here! His medical expenses are coming up soon and I am already working at two part-time jobs after school per your instruction. I even agree with your suggestion on skip out on buying food and force these Yankees to pay for my food expenses. If I were to just drop out from school then I could work more and make more money to pay his medical expense and try to get rid of the debt collector that our parents send to us every month from somewhere.”

“If you were to drop out of school then our grand plan of making money would be halted and can't be restarted for all of the eternity of time. Which will make our lives harder than it already is, if I were to help you use the stock market, then it would have to be done on our parent's account, which would waste all the money that we had earned in it. Second of all, Lens medical expenses could still be paid for in this month by you, even if you have to give a little extra to those damnable debt collectors, because if we get rid of them as you say it would make us enter the underworld too soon and without any proper preparation to deal with the consequence yet. Since I still haven't identified all the debt collector that our parents borrow from nor is the location of our parents within reach yet. it is best to lie hidden for a while until the time for our revenge is ready”
“I know that we can pay for his medical this month and probably pay off the debt collector this month as well. However what about our rent? That is coming up as well!!! and if we can't pay it on time, then what? sleep on the streets? I am a beautiful foreign looking girl, even the retarded me know how bad that sound!!”
“If push comes to shove then we can just become murderers again, like that one time.... ”
“if we don't have a choice, then I hope that the time would not come again that we have to break our oath to our master, but if we are left with no options, then I would take the final plunge into the abyss without any regards for the consequences” she said with a cold glint in her eyes as she stared at her reflection on the water surface.
Throughout this time, if someone saw her speaking to herself like that then, they would definitely think she is crazy and with a severe case of schizophrenia, but that is actually not a lie because she indeed does have a schizophrenic condition and quite a terrible one that disregard any consequences to her action. However her surface personality actually thinks about the rights and wrong, while her other personality completely disregards it, but it is very smart compared to her in the process.
Although she may not look normal right now as she sits on a pile of bodies that had once been a Yankee gang that she had thoroughly destroyed because she was 'annoy', by them. But if she was to go outside regularly like a normal person, no one could distinguish her from being one of them except that she looks like a beautiful foreigner and has a short stature like a 12-year-old, but she is a high school student. If we were to minus that part about her, she would act just like a normal person would, which would fool the others into thinking that she is a normal girl that only looks different from others, but would not look abnormal to anyone else that had not seen what is hidden underneath her surface personality.
So that is why her other personality is so adamant on not revealing herself to others, because this would definitely destroy the illusion that she had created in others mind and can't use that later to boost her fame, as a normal person that became a great success after hard work and countless trials of hardship to get to a higher social status. If she succeeds in keeping the others from discovering her disorder then she could use her situation and the sympathy of others for her, as her tool to success later on by making them have a good yet sad option about her life before she becomes a success. Which would make other accept her more easily due to her terrible upbringing yet she endures it all, which would allow her to get close to peoples that are important and let their trust in her betray their faith when she robs them of everything then dispose of them later on.

That was the grand plan that her other self has concocted in her mind. But this plan is falling apart piece by piece as her surface personality isn't as smart or as powerful compare to her other personality. The only thing her surface personality was good at ironically, fighting and in terms of her fighting skill, she is a super genius that has remained undefeated throughout her current life and many Yankee even seek her out because of that had and she would thoroughly ravage them so badly that they would not even dare utter her name without fear and trembling. So even if they say anything about her then it would be under an alias that she had made for herself and not her true name that other recognize her by.
As she sees the sun dyeing the water surface in bright golden, she knows that it is getting late and that she should return to her broken down apartment as she still has jobs involving washing dishes late at night in a bar. So she got up, dust off her uniform a little, grab her bag then began walking away into the sunset.
When she left from the view of others. The pile of bodies that had been stack on top of each other now begins to move apart with painful groans as they clutch their crotch tightly and sluggishly got up and away from each other.
Then one of them spoke as he clutches his left arm that seems to be broken and said.
“I thought I was going to die, who the fuck thought it was a good idea to mess with little girls like that?!!” the person that said that had a face that is horribly bruised up.
“Yea!!, she hit my crotch so hard that I thought it exploded for a moment and it still hurts like hell!!!! ow ow ow...” was crouching on the ground and is unable to move due to the pain in his crotch.
“yea we definitely had to pick the wrong girl to mess with and she also took all the cash on us after she beat us to a bloody pulp.... my mom is going to kill me for this....” the person that said this was strip naked.
“who was that little girl anyway... isn't she way to strong to even be human? She sends one of us flying into the river with a single punch like she did not put any effort in it, then grabs him with one arm and uses him as a club... oh wait that was our leader... where is he—oh...” when this person said it, he look at him and saw his leader's body limbs being twisted into impossible angles. No matter how much yoga one does. It was unable to achieve this condition of flexibility.
“Um... is he dead?” one person said as he trembles at the terrible sight of their leader's condition.
“... Probably..... maybe... yeah he is dead—” then another person voice his options, but his words was cut midway.
“I am.... not dead you.... fuckers!!! now.... help me.... up!!” the leader said without being able to lift his head or move due to his broken limbs. So he orders his subordinates to help him get up...
““SORRY BOSS!!!”” the others that could move quickly got up and help him rise and face them. But they could never imagine the terror of their leader condition being far worse than any of them could imagine.
His face is bruised to the point that he look more like a balloon with only a few teeth left in his bloody month. His limbs are also purple are in terrible condition... it wouldn't be a surprise if he could never move them again. Even his great hair that he groom every day is nowhere to be found.
However to break their Banchou this much, when their banchou is a Three Star Yankee that conquered three schools without a single defeat. That girl should be chain up in a maximum security prison not walking out on the streets like that pretending to be a normal person!!!
“to ruin our great leader this much...Who was that little girl? Does anybody know?”
“I think I know... but I don't want to think of it being true....”
“What!? Who is she spit it out already!!!”
“Youuuu..... FOOLs!! YOU THINK THAT HER NAME OR TITLE IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE SPOKEN OF BY THE LIKES OF US THIS EASILY?!!!?!?”
“Stop it you are scaring me.... just tell us her name already!!!”
“I don't know her name... actually, none of the gangs in Tokyo knows.... however they just call her by her title....”
“Then what's her big title that could destroy the hundred of us in a matter of seconds!! because I don't want to ever run into her again!!”
“Wait!!!! you fool I am getting to that..... ahem... in Tokyo there was once Seven Grand banchou that is all Seven Stars Banchou with titles of Warlords in their domain and had conquered their region with absolute power and rule their domains like kings.... but when she came to them for a fight... their kingdom and domain turn into ruins like a natural disaster had struck them... so they call her by the alias..... [The Destroyer of Tokyo].... it was even said that those gangs were armed to the teeth with weapons, but she destroy them all like nothing and as quick and powerful as the strongest hurricane and tornado combine.... and also stole all of their cash on hand, while stripping each of them naked and humiliate them to beyond believed.... then later all those gangs and their banchou quit being Yankees and study in school earnestly because of their fear of meeting her again if they were to continue to be Yankees.....” the person that said this was shivering throughout his long speech and when he finish, he drop down onto the ground like a puppet with its strings cut and pees his pants....
““.....”” as they heard that exaggerated story, they swallow their saliva in fear... because they fought with her directly, so it would not be an exaggeration to them for the story of her defeating those monster banchou like that at all! It was lucky that none of them even die after fighting someone like her and instead was even made to be a chair that she had sat on and funded her with the money that they had on them... they now felt a deep sense of honor from someone that strong sitting on them, instead of feeling down and humiliated by her.
“... lets no longer try to pick on little girls... no, a woman in general....”
“yea, I don't want to experience fighting with her again....”
“Do you think she would accept us as her lackeys if we ask her?”
“no... I also heard of her title and I heard that those who try to be her lackey must survive a punch from her at full power, which many of them did not... even have their limbs attach after getting hit once from her at full force”
“.... lets quit being Yankees and work hard on something instead of picking on others...”
“yea boss... maybe we should join the basketball team or something or maybe soccer!”
“yea soccer sounds nice.. at least it would be away from her”
“Yea soccer it is, then let's show them and our parents that we can be great at something when we try!! Hahahahah!!!!!”
““Hahahahahaha!!!!””
After that, they laugh like maniacs until the moon is in the sky. Despite their near death conditions that she had put them in.

When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own.

There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.

A Hunt Upon Wings of Shadows
Lianne has spent the last few years of her life as a nomadic monster-hunter, aimlessly taking jobs and disappearing without a trace. Her innately high ether reserves are the only thing that’s keeping her alive. After a painful yet successful contract, she receives an offer to hunt a peculiar beast from a mysterious man who- much to her dismay- pairs her with a man by the name of Sirius, a skilled swordsman with too much empathy to give out. At the same time, inside the impossibly tall walls of the divine city, a group of soldiers including a naive yet powerful girl by the name of Felicia, an exemplar soldier named Raynauld, and a scarred and aloof woman named Maria prepare to head out on a mission to deliver justice to a deserter who is reported to be in a large town far outside the lush interior of the city. However, the two groups will find that their paths will intertwine, and painful memories will push them against each other at every turn, with new monsters emerging from the shadows to pick each of them apart piece by piece. ************************** Alright, so this is the first book I've posted here, and I've been sitting on this idea for a long while. I'm open to any pieces of criticism, and I would be glad to receive tips and advice. Enjoy! Normally, new chapters come out Saturday nights, sometimes double uploads if there's a short chapter or if I feel like it. That's subject to change if I run out of the current backlog. Second note, this is the first draft, and some things (like a few characters) are going to be cut. It's still going to be the same storyline, but keep that in mind.
