《My Cerberus Girlfriend》Book One: Chapter 14
Advertisement
From the elevator, Roger stepped into the nosy office floor where everybody was running a mock around their desks. Every single staff was answering phones while they threw papers into the air.
What the hell is going on?
Roger dashed through the mob until he reached the chief's office door. He knocked on it.
"Come in! Come in!" the chief's voice shouted.
Roger pushed the door open and stepped in. He found the chief sitting behind his desk, reading through papers while smoking a cigar.
The chief was a tall, muscular black man with a bald head and a mustache. He wore a white shirt with black jeans.
Roger heard that the chief was a heavyweight boxer before he entered the police academy. He probably wants to beat up criminals this time.
The chief tapped his cigar in his ashtray and stared at Roger. "About time you got here. Where the hell have you been?"
"I had to take care of something at my condo," said Roger. "What is going on out there?"
"We are receiving a shit load of calls tonight. People are calming they are seeing monsters on the street. We sent patrols to investigate, but they found nothing. Some didn't even call back for hours. Damn, it’s crazy out there!"
Roger agreed.
It sounded like more monsters were appearing in the city, and people were noticing them.
"So what happened to Spencer?" The chief asked.
Roger opened his mouth until he saw three familiar faces in the window behind the chief. Cilla waved to him while her other hand was holding on the ledge above the window.
What the hell are they doing?
The chief beamed his eyes at Roger and turned around. With luck, the three-headed beast woman vanished.
Roger sighed.

The chief looked back at Roger. "What were you looking at?"
"Oh nothing, sir. I thought I saw a bird flew by."
"You're more worry about a bird than reporting the incident?"
Roger shook his head and pulled up a chair to sit down on. "Chief, this might sound crazy, but what people are seeing is true. There are monsters out there on the street. Spencer and I found one at the zoo. She ambushed Spencer and attacked me."
The chief raised an eyebrow. "She?"
"Yes, she is a half-snake woman."
"Oh really. How did you stop her?"
Roger closed his lips. He wasn't sure if he should acknowledge the Cerberus woman's present to his chief. Either her heads would get angry at him, or the chief would think he was insane. But lives were at stake in the city. "I didn't….. Another monster attacked her, and they both escaped. I tried to find them, but they left no trail. Then that is when you called me."
The chief dipped his cigar into his ashtray. "Okay, but you have no evidence to support your sighting."
"I am telling the truth, sir. Why would I be making it up if others are calling you about it?"
The chief crossed his arms. "I don't know. Maybe some crazy-ass hallucination gas is f**king up people's brains tonight. But I am sorry for what happened to Spencer. We will let his family know and provide a funeral for his service. But there is a panic right now we are trying to deal with. We got no time for monster stories or whatever."
"But I am serious, sir!"
"Me too, but I don't believe in monsters unless-"
An officer burst through the door and stood behind Roger. "Sir, we have an emergency!"

"What is it?" The chief asked.
"Two strange suspects are robbing the California Science Academy museum. They killed all the security, and they don't look human."
"What do you mean they don't look human?"
"It's….. hard to say."
The chief rose and grabbed his tan trench coat off his coat rack. "Send all units there now. I want the place surrounded."
"Yes, sir!"
Roger followed the chief out. "Sir, if you don't mind, I want to-"
"Just do whatever the hell you want. I got a museum to save."
Roger stopped outside the office door. "Thanks, sir."
Since Roger won't be joining the force, he could tell Katina, Cilla, and Labda about the break-in at the California Science Academy. Both of them could sneak in and stop whatever was inside the museum. With her by his side, he won't be afraid and feel helpless.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.

[OLD] The Magus of Imminent Oblivion
AN: This is a pretty shitty novel, in case you haven't already guessed that by the rating. Check out the newer version that I'm writing, since it has more content written and higher quality (I hope). He was a nameless child born at the end of a great war. He gave himself a name, then worked his way to prosperity. He had a job, a wife, a daughter, and his future looked bright. But, then, things changed. His wife and daughter were dead, and a hundred bodies laid strewn across the floor. He couldn't continue to live; he pierced his body with his own sword. Awakening in a new world, his new body burned with an old fury. Where magic was common and power was cheap, he vowed to never let anything get the better of him.
