《Coin Event》Chapter 5 : Hiding
Advertisement
Katsuro had woken up and it was now 3 pm when he woke up. He went into the restroom to look at his hair before leaving his room to go eat
“I don’t think it looks bad on me,” said Katsuro while playing with his hair
Katsuro then left his room and went to go eat, he was walking around looking for a restaurant to eat at
He eventually found one, it was a ramen shop, it looked decent from the outside. Katsuro walked in still trying to hide his face with a facemask when one of the workers sat him down at a table.
There was a small group sitting behind him, he was able to hear everything the group of men was talking about.
Katsuro ordered what he wanted and decided to hear what the group was talking about
“Hey did you hear about the coin event thing,” said one of the men
“Yeah, I already signed up for it”
“Yeah I did too”
“The guy that has the coin looks weak I think we could easily take the coin away from him”
“Since we all signed up for the event why don’t we try to win this together”
“Yeah we could team up”
“Yeah all of us could take that guy”
“I heard he’s from the big city Kitakyushu that isn’t too far from here”
“We should head over there to see if he is still there maybe hiding somewhere there”
“Let's go later tonight”
Katsuro was hearing all of that while enjoying his ramen, he was thinking about how much people were participating in this event.
“Will a lot of people come for me?”
This is one of the few thoughts that were going through katsuro mind during hearing their whole conversation
Katsuro finished his food and paid for his meal, he left the restaurant as fast as possible to not be caught by the men looking for him.

He went back to the inn and went into his room to hide in there until the night hit
Katsuro hadn’t checked his phone at all so he decided to check it while he was laying down on his bed
He noticed he had a call and message from his manager, the message read
“Don’t worry about your job just survive”
Katsuro was shocked at what his manager sent him but at the same time he was not since his manager and he got along so he was happy to see him still caring about him
He checked social media and saw that the coin event was trending, many people were posting, tweeting about the event.
Some of the tweets and posts were talking about how they wanted to win this event for their families or their greed.
“I want to win this event to help my family and support them”
“I want the inheritance to buy my dream car, designer clothes, and other things for myself”
Some other ones would talk about how they would get the coin to win
“I would try to take the coin away without hurting the guy first then if he doesn’t want to give it to me, I would kill him for it”
“I would kill the guy just to win and get the money”
Katsuro wasn’t surprised about the stuff that people were saying due to him knowing people would kill him just for the inheritance
Katsuro knew many people would come for him, he was a bit nervous about it but was ready to go against them.
Another thing Katsuro was thinking about was maybe having another person join him to help him fight back the people coming for him
“I think I need another person to help me defend myself”
“It would help in case I wouldn’t be able to hold myself against groups of people teaming up”
“Hopefully I could find someone trustworthy though”
Katsuro then noticed it was 5 pm already and decided to just watch tv to pass time until it gets dark

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. 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. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *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.
