《Monillas: Human Garbage》Premonition
Advertisement
"Jose? What brings you here?"
Just for a moment, Jose saw the darkness that he didn't see before. Is this a premonition? That something will happen if he continues? Regardless of this premonition or whatnot, he disregarded it and spoke about his intentions.
"Boss Yanlei... please let me borrow advances!"
He immediately started his business to his boss, Yanlei Magallanes. For some reason, he smirked. He smirks as if he found a prey. As if a predator finding Its prey. At that time, Antonio who was in the back felt the same sensation that Jose felt earlier. It's the same darkness.
Yanlei Magallanes has long black hair as if It belongs to a girl. Slanted eyes and a tall figure you won't see anywhere. It's as if the Yanlei Magallanes he saw at the trash mountain was not him at all. It's a different man! His face, aura, figure, and his way of speaking have changed! All of it has changed!
But Jose is willing to bet on the chance, that his friend Yanlei is still the same as before. A good kindhearted man who helps others... that's the personality that builds Yanlei Magallanes. Isn't it the reason that he allowed Jose to work? Because he's kindhearted? Is it? Is it? IS THAT REALLY IT!?
+++++
"Borrowing advances, hmmm? I apologize, my dear friend, Jose. But I can't do that..."
After Yanlei said those words, Jose suddenly felt defeated. He doesn't know anyone that will lend him money. Even Antonio doesn't know. In reality, there are banks where they can loan but... either they don't know about or they think that they won't be qualified for that.
"I can't lend you anything, because so many of my workers asked for an advance this month. I made it my rule to not give anyone an advance for this month."

Defeat!!! Unable to do anything, Jose just crouched to the ground... gritting his teeth. When he's on the ground, that's when Yanlei proposed something...
"Since you can't really borrow from me or anyone. I have a proposal for you. This way... you'll get money without having any debts at all."
"Having money without any debts?"
A ray of hope! Jose, as if he's Kandata, suddenly saw a sliver of rope... Rope to Victory! That's why...
"I'm in! Tell me where it is!"
He climbed it! The sliver ray of hope! He climbed it! Like Kandata who climbed the rope, Jose did the same! He started to climb! Little by little, he's climbing... reaching for the light! But...
Antonio felt it again the darkness from Yanlei. That something bad will definitely happen... a premonition!!!
Is Jose really going for the light? Or... is he going to destruction?
+++++
Yanlei took a taxi, Jose and Antonio followed him. Yanlei paid for the taxi and all of them moved on. Jose and Antonio don't have the slightest clue at their destination or even the place where they're going. They just know that the taxi has traveled quite far.
After approximately an hour of traveling, they finally reached their destination. Yanlei asked the driver to stop and It did as said so. After that, he opened the door then left the cab. Jose and Antonio, seeing Yanlei, immediately left the cab too.
They entered a building. Looking at it from the outside, It looks like a 4 floored building and It's actually like that. It's an apartment complex.
The three of them entered the building. Yanlei used some kind of voice and eye scanner to open the elevator and after he did that, the elevator opened and they ride it. Yanlei typed the buttons for the 3rd Floor, and It immediately rose. For some reason, Jose and Antonio didn't felt the same happiness they felt earlier. This time, they felt uneasiness...

"I don't know why... but I'm feeling something bad will happen. Maybe I should let Jose know."
Antonio whispered to himself. He was about to call Antonio who is right beside him and tell him about his gut feeling. But he saw the determination at Jose's eyes as if saying that "I will never back down!!!"
So Antonio... stood firm... unable to do anything. After a while, they finally reached the 3rd Floor.
"This is our destination... people..."
Yanlei said mildly to the two of them...
"But isn't this... a casino!?"

I'm Just a Nameless Side Character in a Vampire Romance Novel
I cried myself asleep after reading the ending to the "Rose and its Thorns" only to wake up as a nameless side character that dies before the novel even begins! Rose and its Thorns is popular webnovel about Julia, the female lead who is sold by her evil stepmother as bride candidate of the Rose Empire. It's a powerful but notorious Empire ruled by Vampires and populated by all the non human races of the world. In the end she had her happily ever after with the crown prince of the Empire, but Eclis, the Grand Duke and the second male lead dies with a broken heart. The novel updated nearly every week and I read it as it published for 3 years! I don't know how I got here but I'm going to thoroughly enjoy myself in this world and correct this novel to the ending Eclis deserves! Release schedule: Wednesday, Saturday at 2:30pm PST

Origin
A group of college students find the last known warship from the Imperium, which came to Earth and started civilisation millenia ago. They will have to repair the ship, launch it back to space and then decide what to do with it. Will they restore the empire? Explore the galaxy? Or get up to unspeakably hilarious hijinks..... This is my first work, so please comment and critique as much as possible. This work is being migrated from Webnovel to Royal Road cause RR has a muuuuch better text editor and formatting options. I aim to release five chapters a week unless this catches on. In which case I'm happy to increase the release schedule up to 2 chapters a day based on readership.

Dragonslayer Awakens (The Flash Guardians series 1)
MaXabiere Berrygrewd, or Xabe for short, is a sixteen-year-old boy who lives in an enchanted world called Enchanteria, a place full of magic, wonders, and mysteries. And in that world, there are mortal heroes of any race called the Flash guardians: Who train and practice their magical abilities, talents, skills, and spells to stand against evil and become the forces of good. Xabe found them admirable, so a small part of him wanting to join them, but he only looks at a smaller picture as he lives in a peaceful, prosperous town of Yardsville in the landmass of Etheron. But his life was not all that peaceful, though. A long time ago, the greatest threat was created and caused nothing but chaos, death, and destruction. Devastrigon is its name: a colossal three-headed dragon that conquers the sky, wreak havoc on the earth, trembles the seas, and give wrath to the flames. Unlike the united clans of the dragons, this one is a king of its own, and thus it has followers that sought to take over the world- and so the dragon war began. Even the Flash guardians find this their greatest threat they had ever faced, but fortunately, awakened from his slumber, arise the legend known as the Dragonslayer: an unknown avenger that can outmatch any dragon with his strength and mighty roar. He had earned the out most respect from his deeds and power. However, what lies ahead of the slayer is not what it seems, for his purpose is to not bring an end- but to give a start. And that starts with MaXabiere, who, deep down, has an inner power that has been growing little by little as he uses them. Although, the inner power is still in a sleepy state and must be awakened in order to see the unimaginable potential. He must join alongside with the Flash guardians, must be trained by the Dragonslayer, and he must realize his true destiny in order to see the bigger picture by realizing what it's like to be a slayer, a guardian, and a hero. The very first installment of “The Flash guardians” series has forged the magical world, diverse characters, epic quests, and the beginning of a new legend of the Dragonslayer awakens. *Book cover is illustrated and designed by M.
