《A Short story collection》The detective

The man walked along the rainy and muddled streets paying no attention to the rain that bounced off his trenchcoat and hat nodding to the peacekeepers as he went. His pistol was in a hidden side holster and his rifle cleverly hidden using a type of molding technology it was expensive sure notoriously So, but it was worth it for the Private investigator. His phone rang and he ducked into an alleyway before answering it "Hello?" I Asked smoothly "meet at 5th street Newark doesn't Be Late" I ducked out of the alleyway and headed to the garage with a sigh my eyes darting the rooftops looking for snipers I reached the garage before heading to my bike and pressing the button to start it up and it roared to life as I zoomed toward the avenue as my hand brushed my hidden sidearm I pulled over putting my Bluetooth earpiece and continuing on my way before pulling over my bike once again and walking the rest of the way there. My phone rang and I pressed the earpiece "good, good you're here take a left there should be a man in a black su" his voice was cut off very suddenly then three things happened at once I rolled to the floor as guns began to open up from everywhere and the man returned "I was not expecting this either" "no shit" i growled pushing myself up as i pulled myself behind a tree. I tapped a button on my trenchcoat and my gun seeped forming itself in my hands.I cocked it and started firing it shattering the windows as people finally began to run and a black limo began to make its way towards me "that one of your guys?"I asked the man on the other end. "No why?" the Limo rolled passed me. The guns started opening up again. I hadn't noticed they stopped. "Right two on the balcony 3 on the 3rd floor and all look like they have heavy armament" I muttered before running from tree to tree. I ducked behind a concrete barrier. my rifle was in range and I let loose firing at the men on the balcony and they dropped like rocks. I grinned and fired at the third-floor windows watching as all three of the men took hits and I cursed "Shit time to switch AP" I put a round in each of them causing them to stagger before I fired off a burst at the men getting one down before I heard sirens and military humvee pulled in front of me as the bullets peppered the glass "Get in" I hopped in pressing a button on my rifle and it molded back into my trench coat."Who the hell are you" I knew that voice it was the man who I was working with "that doesn't matter right now" We pulled Up to the garrison and I got out "ID" the soldier groused I handed it to him "seems in order you and your friend are clear to go" I nodded and hopped back in the Humvee as we drove In and we both got out again. I nodded at the man as we went to the control tower. "Hello again shadow" sitting across from me was a man with back turned to me he swung his body around to reveal a scarred face and the red eyes of a man I thought dead.

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!
