《Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire》Book 2 -Terms and Conditions
Advertisement
I've started working on Book 2, Terms and Conditions. It's located at https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions If you are looking for a continuation of Mortis Operandi.
Someone brought it to my attention that they had no idea of the new book being worked on and suggested I add a chapter pointing people to the other location. Hopefully, this helps, I had submitted a ticket flagging my story as Complete. Hopefully, this doesn't cause any issues.
If so I apologize, and if you read the first and didn't like it as much, well, depending on what you did or did not like book 2 may or may not appeal to you. I do not plan on having any point of views from Players and the story will be purely on the people existing within the game world as they cope with repercussions of book 1's events and general Day to day activities. It will be more Corporate Goblins.
On a different note, as some people have pointed out in comments when I make a continuity error or just make a poor decision, let me know. Writing is always such a lone endeavor and any feedback or comments will hopefully help me improve.
It could be that Royalroad isn’t the best venue for interactive discussions. I know this may sound as desperate, but by reading what I’ve written, I’m taking up your time. With so many different things to consume your time, I am grateful. I do want to provide the best story that I can and openly admit I’m not the best writer. Not even a good one in many ways, so if you are still reading this, please I beg of you, help me get better.
Then we can both journey into some unforgettable worlds.
You can stop reading here, Royal Road requires a chapter to be a min 500 words, I’m going to repost the introduction of book 2 to fill in space. It may give an idea of what to expect.

Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop.
The sudden exit of Mortis Operandi's CEO, the company was facing ruin. The goblin Eft was chosen as the new CEO and boss. The previous CEO made promises and contracts that Eft now has to fulfill, and it is causing a lot of trouble. Restoring the ancestral home of Ogre's seems easy enough, what if a thriving town now resides there? Along with facing corporate invasion, Eft must take on the tasks he wouldn't wish upon his worst foe, Customer Service.
*Note the above statements are forward-looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.

GLADIUS // Eret X Reader
PHANTASM SERIES BOOK 4---Gladius, (noun): (in ancient Rome) a short sword.---Eret perked up as soon as you and Simon walked into the room, a wide and welcoming smile coming onto his face. He was softer looking than his father had been, but you could still see some of the similar traits. He had a head of thick dark curls, and the same sharp jaw that his father had had. He wasn't as bulky though - he was tall and thin - and his face was a lot more open. What separated him most from his father's likeness though was the colorful cape, and the large mirrored glasses he wore - swirling with colors reflected from the room. He stood from his seat when Maven let the doors swing shut behind her, that wide smile still on his face. "You must be the embassy.""And you must be King Eret." You said, stooping into a bow. "Oh, there's no need for that." Eret said as you rose from your bow. He stepped down from the dias where his throne sat - colorful cape trailing behind him - and came to stand in front of you, taking your hand instead. "I'm not really one for formalities." He grinned, shaking your hand. His palm was warm against yours, and you could feel some slight callouses - most likely from practicing his sword work.
