Suitguy1-"Please get rid of him , you may even kill the executives... but please spare the innocent girls"
Ryu-"Girls?"
Suitguy2-"Yes...this party.... is filled with drugs and young woman who were blackmailed..it's not their fault so ple-"
Ryu cut them off again while he filled his teacup
Ryu-"I don't care , if they get in my way , they will die and I will take the job"
The 2 men looked at each other , nodded and took out a laptop
Teetiing~
Ryu took out his phone and checked his balance
Current Balance :
132,493,284,381 ¥
Suitman1-"We have transfered 500 million Yen in the given bank account by the contractor"
Ryu-"Hmmp"
Ryu took the picture , stood up and walk away.
On a roof of a tall building in the middle of the city , a bunch of old looking business man gathered in a penthouse.
10 old man were surrounded by young high school girls in a dark room inside the penthouse
Oldman-"Ah! What did I tell you , these girls are young and fresh"
-"Hell yeah! I am taking this one!"
-"How did you manage to get all of these?"
Daimon-"It's easy , they need money , hahahaha and we also black mailed some of them"
The 10 old men sat in different couches while some were on beds with atleast 2 or 3 girls in their arms
One of the old man said while looking at the glasses old man
-"Raising the tax to cover the smuggle funds ! What a genius!"
Daimon-"Yeah , aslong you guys are in the front , I will make us all rich! Now now , enjoy yourselves for the hard work you have done!"
The perverted old men started to strip the young girls clothes one by one while sticking their tongues out
girls1-"No..... please...spare me"
girls2-"Please.. let me go..."
The girls were disgusted while some were crying , begging to get out.
At the other end of the hall , 2 people with assault rifles were guarding the front door of the penthouse.
Guard1-"Do you think we can get a taste of those girls when the geezers are done?"
Guard2-"I wouldn't , F*ck that , those girls will be covered with their c*m and saliva"

Guard1-"Pfft you are righ-"
Splash , a dagger pierced the neck of the guard and has the 2nd guard held up his rifle , a dark figure appeared behind him.
Slice
The head of the guard flew off the body.
Ryu-"I hope these 2 are the last ones... I am getting too old for this"
Ryu flick his index finger toward his palm and the pierced dagger , tied by chains flew into his sleeve.
As the body felt , Ryu cut the door open with his sharp heated kodachi and walk into the hall without any sound.
Ryu-"Ahh man... why couldn't they party somewhere lower so I could use a sniper instead"
girl3-"No ! Please!"
The girl who was naked and forced onto the couch by an old man screams loudly
Oldman-"Shut up , do you want your family to run out of business huh! To crumble the hard work of your ancestor would be a pity wouldn't it?"
The naked girl didn't utter any other word as she spread her legs.
Ziing
The door sliced into pieces
Daimon-"W..what! Who are you!"
At the entrance , Ryu was standing there with his special black suit and a mask
Ryu-"I have come for the party!"
The old man quickly took cover as Daimon pulls out his hand gun
Bang bang bang!
The girls were screaming while the perverts were cowardly hiding behind them
In the less than 1 seconds , as the bullets flies toward Ryu's head , he quickly unsheathed his kodachi from his back , diced the 2 bullets in half and sheath back the kodachi.
Daimon let out a smirk but his face color quickly turned pale.
Daimon-"H..how... I did not miss... I hit you for sure... how are you still standing!"
Ryu-"Ah , it's hard to dodge at close range so I just split them in half"
Daimon-"Im..impossible!"
Ryu laughed while Diamon was panicking
Daimon-"No... you... red eyes.. you are the Ascended Demo-"
Ryu appeared behind Daimon and stabbed the back of his neck while holding the chained dagger
Ryu-"This job is so boring..."
Ryu push the dagger upward , cutting his skull in half , the body than felt down on the floor covered with blood.
Ryu hide his dagger and look around , the place was quiet , the girls had their hands on their mouth as the perverts were trembling.
Ryu-"*Hmmm since this is my last job...*Ah , old men , since you heard my name , you all have to die"
Ryu came up with an excuse to save the girls , a bonus of his last mission.
As soon he announced their death , Ryu flick both of his index fingers and 2 daggers flew everywhere in the room and pierced through all 10 old men's head
Ryu-"Hmmm , what to eat today... the only thing I have hard times with in life.... food decision..."
Ryu walk out of the room while touching his chin
The girls all quietly look at each other , stood up and walked behind Ryu from a distance.
One girl with long orange hair ran to Ryu and said
girl-"Thank yo-"
Ryu kodachi immediately appeared beside her neck.
He than stared at her with his red eyes
The orange haired girl began to tremble as she was scared.
Ryu move the kodachi slowly toward the neck , it cut some hair string that came in contact with the blade.
He sheath his kodachi , turns around and disappeared at the entrance.
The girls ran to the orange haired girls and ask
Girls-"..He killed those people....why did you do that..?"
Girlorange-"But..I had to.... since he saved us"
Girl-"I... I think his target were those old geezers and not us..."
Girl-"Mhmmm.... that's why he didn't bother with us.."
Girlorange-"But.. we heard his name too didn't we..?"
The girls froze as they realize they were spared.
On a busy street filled with thousands of people , a tall handsome man with black hair and scary eyes blends in the crowd as he spoke with his cellphone.
Ryu-"Ah...Ran? I quit , from now on , if you bother me about work , I will kill you , okay? bye"
As Ryu walks , he noticed something strange , the street were completely empty.
Ryu-"Wh..what the , where did everyone go... how is this possible.. am I hallucinating..?"
The sky darken has the grey cloud covered the whole city.
The cloud began to glow a light and suddenly
Ryu-"What the-"
BOOOM!
The cloud shot a bolt of lightning towards Ryu
Ryu-"Hmmp , I guess I am faster than lightning Ghuahuhauha"
brooooooozm
The clouds let out a cracking sound as it began to glow brightly.
Boooom!
Hundreds of lightning bolt came down the sky , toward Ryu!
Ryu-"Oh f*ck this"
Ryu stared angrily with no fear at the lightning bolt as it was infront of his face

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k. I personally like explaining how things work a lot, so do have that in mind if you decide to read this fiction. Cover is credited to [Asviloka] who can be found on this thread:https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/110578 [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

An uncountable number of people waking up with fuzzy memories and selective amnesia, only to be greeted with a status screen congratulating them for being a participant of a game? The new normal. Uncertainty follows the realization as the world around them, while looking the same, melts together with memories of what was once called fantasy. New surroundings and blurred borders await as we follow a young man along his path of survival and growth.

I do not have a script only a premise and general outline I will follow along as I write. As this is my first try at writing I'd be overjoyed to get any kind of feedback. Crossposted on QQ
