《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!?"

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!

The Pet Dragon
Reborn as a dragon and stumbling through the world the MC feels rather disadvantaged. This story is a writing challenge for myself for fun and I'll start with one chapter every day though they might not be particularly long. I did not plan anything out but I have ideas. Freeform was supposed to be this but my ideas were too complicated and I couldn't keep myself from overthinking it. Well, that failed. I will resume this story at a later date.

THE TIME MACHINE (Completed)
The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backward in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.
