《I don't want to be a hero》Chapter 13: News
Advertisement
When Sara returned to Cat's hideout, she knocked on the door and waited for Cat to open
The door had a camera at the side, so when Sara knocked, Cat could see it was her
"Welcome back"(Cat) said as soon as she open the door while going out a little and looking at both sides
"I am back"(Sara) said cheerfully
After looking around a little, Cat finally showed a relaxed face and let Sara get inside while closed the door behind her
"Did you get the clothes?"(Cat)
"Here"(Sara) showed the bag in her left hand
"Good good. Go to the bathroom and put some new clothes. Meanwhile, I am going to cook something"(Cat)
"Ok"(Sara) said and went to the bathroom
When she came out a little while with her new clothes, Sara found Cat cooking hamburgers and some instant mash potatoes mix
Sara decided to sit at the table and while looking around, she saw a photograph of the destroyed factory on the laptop screen
Her curiosity got the best of her and she decided to approach the laptop
What she saw was an article besides the picture that Sara couldn't stop herself from reading
The article said
The truth behind the deaths at the Old Scoundrel Factory finally revealed
"After the incident that took 70 lives and countless wounded, most people were wondering who was to blame for all this
Some blamed the irresponsibility of the heroes, others blamed the Irish mafia that owned the place and has been using that place for shady deals for years
But unexpectedly, it turned out it was neither
Forensic evidence shows that it was actually a sabotage made by the new third party
Little is know about this new group besides all of them using grey hoods and all of them being low-level powers, but it is believe that it is a new rising suicide cult

This theory comes from the facts that every single person the heroes managed to catch died after having ingested a pill shortly after their capture
If you add that all of them dress the same and belong to a specific group of people, the likeness of this being true is really high
No statement have been shown from this new group, but the forensic evidence is unrefutable, making this cult a dangerous group that must be avoided at all cost"(Article) said
Sara read the whole article, and even though she didn't understand all the words in it, she understood who was to blame
Before, she was not only confused from everything that happened but also didn't understand exactly why the factory felt down
Now, on the other hand, she knew there was someone to blame
Someone to sent the anger she felt when the blind guy was on her brother spot
Someone to blame for all the misfortune that she had suffered in the last few days
And someone to help her forget the sadness she felt inside
Meanwhile, Cat was busy making the hamburgers, the mix and even bread with a bread machine
So when she finally finish making the food and was just about to put the plates, she found Sara looking at her laptop
The moment she realised what was inside, she quickly closed the laptop, but after seeing Sara's expression, she realised it was too late
"Did you see it?"(Cat) asked a question she already knew the answer
So it didn't surprise her when Sara nodded in agreement
"F-ck"(Cat)said in a small voice
She sighed for a moment and looked at Sara in the eyes
"Did they do it?"(Sara) asked before Cat could say her next question
"Who?"(Cat) didn't want to make assumptions
"Was it the hood guys who did it?"(Sara) asked while trying to hold her anger

Cat was surprised for a second and looked the other way
"According to the news, that is what happened"(Cat)said while still looking away
"Why did they do it?"(Sara)
"Nobody knows for sure, but most people believe they did it to get away"(Cat)
"Will someone catch them?"(Sara)
"I don't know"(Cat)
"oh"(Sara) finally said with a low voice while looking down
Shortly after, Cat patted her head
"Let's eat, ok?"(Cat) said while trying to cheer her up
"Ok"(Sara) Agreed
And shortly after, they started eating
Sara again tried something delicious she never had before and cheer up a little
But she wasn't in bliss like before, she was still processing what she read
Meanwhile, Cat was quietly eating her burger
Afterwards, Cat went to brush her teeth with Sara and watched some kid movies with her in the couch
Since it was Netflix, it wasn't hard to find kid movies, and after two, Cat put her a kids tv show and went to her laptop
Meanwhile, Sara was delighted with all that, and for a moment, she forgot the anger inside
It was already nighttime when Cat called Sara to the table, and they ate some spaghetti
Again, something new she never had before, but she wasn't in complete bliss like the first two times. Still, she was in a far better mood than in the afternoon
Even Cat had a better expression than in the afternoon after seen the cheerful smile of Sara
Cat even watched some chapters of the TV show with her afterwards and send Sara to sleep when it was getting late. She gave Sara a blanket and let her sleep on the couch
Cat, on the other hand, went to the other door beside the bathroom, where her room was
"Good night Kid"(Cat)Said while turning the light
"Good night big sis"(Sara) said back to her
And close her eyes, but not her mind yet
She started thinking about what she read, and what she felt
She wanted to do something about those hood guys, but she didn't like how big sis looked when she talked about it or the factory
Believe it or not, children are really perceptive of other people's mood, especially when the child makes a living of peoples feelings
So she noticed Cat's sadness and didn't like it
Sara felt grateful for everything that Cat did for her, so seeing her suffer made her fell bad
But that didn't mean she gave up on her brothers or doing something about the hood guys, she would simply try to find about them on her own

Artisan
Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon. The offending novel is The Artisan by Jon Moremont - obviously a GoT fan who didn't even read the blurb properly and put a wizard on the cover. Just wanted to let everyone know that this book has nothing to do with me, and has no new content. Thanks, and sorry again - LF Superhero Litrpg Skills, level-ups, powers, crafting, and base-building. Releasing a chaplet daily, ~1,200 words. It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high.

Justin, 20 years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back, and since his government stipend will cover the expense, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new game: A Time of Heroes. Justin has never been that into multiplayer games, but for a full-immersion virtual reality where he can play a Superhero, Justin is definitely in. 'Superheroes and Villains are on the rise in an alternate America of 2020. Forces of good and evil must band together to control the future'. Justin plays Artisan, an alien AI trapped on Earth.Inventor, hacker, and gadgeteer to a team of heroes. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave reviews and comments.

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.
