《Bounty Cats》Book One: Chapter 6

After the elevator stopped, the doors opened, revealing an empty gray hallway with doorways and a white shiny marble floor. Rei followed Luna through the hall and stopped toward a metal door.
She turned to Rei and pointed her thumb at the door. "This is where you will get your identification chip. The armory is next door."
"Are you going in with me?" Rei asked.
Luna crossed her arms and leaned her back against the wall. "Don't take long. The office doesn't have a toilet."
Rei glared at Luna before stepping through the door. What is totally up with her?
The office was small with one desk, a couch, and a landscape painting of a mountain over a forest. Kind of boring with plain walls and a carpeted floor without unique textures.
A chipmunk lady sat behind the desk, chewing on an enormous chocolate bar with nuts in it. Pieces of chocolate sprinkled across her blue uniform from her wood chipping mouth. Her body was shaped like an egg, kind of like a round toy figure a kid would find at a dollar store. Chipmunks like to eat a lot when they get hungry too often.
Rei waved to the officer. "Excuse me, I'm here for my identification."
The lady glanced at her, mouth covered in chocolate. "Huh?"
"I'm here for my-"
"Oh yes! The commissioner told me you are coming." The officer wiped the chocolate off her mouth. "Hold up your hand."
When Rei did, the chipmunk pulled out a stapler and pushed it on Rei's palm. With a click, sharpness shot into Rei's hand, making her moan. "Ouch!"
The chipmunk placed the stapler down. "There you go. Hold out your hand. You will see it."
Rei could see a tiny metal patch on her palm. She held her hand up as a holographic blue projection appeared in front of her.

“This is cool!” Rei exclaimed. “My photo is cute too!”
The chipmunk lady smiled. "If your arm gets cut off, we can always replace your implant with a bionic limb. Remember to show it so you wouldn't get arrested by mistake. Good luck."
"Thank you!" Rei strolled out of the office. Time to get her first weapon.

My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe...
Xavier had a happy, humdrum life: normal friendships, a normal girlfriend, a somewhat oddball family. Until, that is, he literally stumbled through the fourth wall and discovered he was the protagonist of a manga. Now he's scrambling to maintain any semblance of control over his own life in the face of something he never imagined he would need to contend with: the power of the Genre. Hello, E.O. Tenkey here; thank you for your interest in "Not A Manga"! This was my first serial novel, and I hope you enjoy Xavier's predicament! Familiarity with manga not required (though it can't hurt)! I look forward to exploring the bounds of the Genre with you. (First volume is rated PG-13 for comic mayhem and light profanity—these are high school students, after all. Second volume is rated PG-13 to R for some violence and similar levels of profanity. Tags may or may not contain spoilers.)
