《Faceless Phantom》Chapter 30.5 - Meanwhile IRL
Advertisement
A good-looking man in a suit was knocking on a door.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
As no one answered, he looked at his phone. 16.35 was showed on the screen, then he put it back in his suit.
A few seconds later, the door opened and an old man was appeared behind it.
"Are you from the game company?"
"Yes. My name is Lee Kang Dae." He answered as he gave the old man his business card. "Can you show me where he is?"
"Yeah. Follow me."
After taking the business card, the old man stepped outside and closed the door. Then he led Kang Dae to a small house one block from there.
The old man opened the door and they went in.
The house was surprisingly neat and everything was placed nicely, even though it was supposed to be a NEET's home. The old man, the caretaker, might be cleaning the house everyday. However, Kang Dae's gaze was wandering about as if he was searching for something. And he finally noticed an item which was very out of place within the room. It was the VL-Pod.
Kang Dae's face became serious as they came closer to the pod, and his eyes were observing every part of it. The old man couldn't fathom what Kang Dae was doing, so he just stood there watching him circling the pod multiple times.
After checking all the details, he took out his phone and bowed to the old man.
"Excuse me for a minute. I need to report this first."
"S-sure."
He stepped outside the house and called someone on his contact list.
[Hello.]
"Hello, sunbae-nim. This is Lee Kang Dae reporting."
[How is it?]
"It's also modified, sunbae-nim."
[So, he is the seventh.]

A sigh could be heard over the phone.
[This will be a problem, otherwise it can also become our advantage.]
They were in silence for a moment. Then Kang Dae hesitantly asked.
"What should I do, sunbae-nim?"
[I think, you need to move him ASAP. Bring him to the new place. I'll send the others there as well. Also, please don't forget to cover him and move in discreet.]
"Understood, sunbae-nim."
He went inside again to do what he ordered to do. Seeing him entered the house, the old man opened his mouth.
"So, I heard that your company wanna take care of him?"
"Yes. We will take full responsibility about this matter."
"Thank God, you pick him up. He is a pain in the ass. Don't forget to tell him that he needs to pay all his debts when he wakes up from that thing."
"Yes. But before that, I need you to sign some papers first."
"Fine. As long as this leech is gone, I'll do anything to get rid of him."
When everything was done, Kang Dae brought a black case to the pod. He took out a device from the case and put it on the pod, then he pressed some buttons on it. Once there was a beep sound, multiple green lights were on.
After that, some people went in and began to cover the pod with wooden crate. Then they lift the wooden crate outside and put it inside a big trailer.
Lee Kang Dae bowed to the old man before he got inside his car. Then he drove his car following by the truck with the trailer.

Blood Shaper
Kay didn't have the best life. Most of it was fairly standard, but his past was marred by a tragedy that changed his entire world. Years later he had managed to mostly rebuild his life, and had started making something of himself. And then he woke up in a different world. A world of fantasy and [Classes], a world much more dangerous than the one he'd been born in. The new world he's been dumped into doesn't hold anyone's hand. Even with the bonuses that being an Outworlder brings won't keep him perfectly safe. One mistake could kill him in an instant. But maybe, with a little bit of help, he could start over once more, and start to make something of himself again. And maybe, just maybe, that something he makes himself into could be amazing. And bloody. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] (We'll see how I do) ****** As I'm leaning right now there probably will be sexual content later on, but I might change my mind later. There definitely will be death, gore, violence, and blood. Lots and lots of blood.

Vast Asleep
The story of Kingard the Binder in the aftermath of Broken This short story is the epilogue of Broken, the second book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. It’s a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers but is set apart from the full-length narrative. Vast Asleep follows the story of Kingard, who finds himself caught in a world called Mother's realm, bathed in glowing light but strangely stuck in place. He encounters his greatson Varyan there, and learns that his experiences are likely dreams. As he grows more accustomed to the loving realm around him, Kingard remembers fear and trepidation about the face of the world, and he loses contact with his companion. This story answers the question, Is Kingard really dead? with a tentative no, and new mysteries brewing. It also raises the question, What's happening while he's awake? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Ride Awake, about Kingard's situation with the Colkh'rak. Praise for Tales of the Known World Bookends: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between the epilogue and prologue is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★
