《Bounty Cats》Book One: Chapter 22

Luna grabbed the railing and slowly lifted herself up onto her feet. Her wound closed, and the pain stopped. But it didn't prevent her blood from staining her dark leather pants. Oh well. She could always get her clothes washed at the laundry mat. Rei better kills the target though.
After she recovered, Luna held up her rifle. “Pistol!”
“Pistol!” She charged across the bridge as her gun returned to its handgun form. She kicked the door open and rushed through a corridor with pipes covering the walls.
Luna hoped her partner didn't get the chance to kill the target. She wanted to be the one killing the damn shark for hiring the pain in the ass hyena. If it wasn't for the shark, she wouldn't have lost her bounty. The shark must pay by her own hands.
Through another doorway, she entered a large with rows of water tanks. The facility's water storage, Luna assumed. Dark as ever, but still clear in Luna's night vision.
She tiptoed through the center of the rows. Then she stopped when two figures appeared toward the end of the chamber.
Luna widened her eyes as the figures approached her into her clearing.
Baby Shark approached Luna while he was holding Rei with a gun on her head. "Drop your weapon!"
Luna aimed her T-gun. "You drop yours!"
"Do you absolutely think I would listen to your demands?"
"I absolutely think you won't, chump! But I can pull the trigger faster than you."
Baby Shark growled with his sharp fangs exposed. "Who the hell sent you? The yakuza? The Pints?"
Luna smiled. "Only the law hired us."
“So you are bounty hunters. Damn you! You ruined my exchange!”
“And you ruined my last job!”
Baby Shark squirted his eyes. “Huh?”

“You heard me. You sent an assassin named Gonzo to kill Mr.Edger, the CEO of Ares Corp. Remember him?”
Baby Shark raised an eyebrow. “That greedy son of a bitch? Yes, I remembered him. I offered him a seat within my business, but he refused. He said corporate business is better than the black market industry. When I heard he was secretly trading weapons to criminals, I realized he was a hypocrite. So I iced him for pissing me off. Was he your daddy? Lover?”
Luna laughed. “He was my prey, and you took him away from me. That pisses me off too!”
“Too bad. It’s called competition, sweetheart. You win some, you lose some.”
“If I lose some, I would be sleeping on the streets already.”
“Then why don’t you work for me instead? I can give you anything you want-”
Luna pulled the trigger, shooting the shark’s head before he noticed. Rei fell from his arms as Baby Shark fell to the floor while his eyes widened.
Luna approached his body and shot him again and again.
Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
After she stopped, she lowered her gun, smiling at Baby Shark’s face, full of bleeding holes. “No, thank you. I don’t work with pieces of shit like you. I’m a bounty hunter, dumbass.”

8 213Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
