《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.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!
