《Aliens.exe》Chapter 12 - 'Arry
Advertisement
“Come on!” shouted Al's rescuer, hauling him back to his feet. He chased him around a corner, where a majestic golden rocket was hovering just above the street. The man jumped in and turned to face him, beckoning him into his aircraft.
Al stood back, completely stunned.
“But... but you're 'Arry 'Ead 'Unter...”
'Arry 'Ead 'Unter was the most notorious and dangerous criminal in the history of the Outer Galaxies. He portrayed himself as a one man criminal network, which was remarkably true as ‘Arry ‘Ead ‘Unter was a name that everyone knew. ‘Arry was employed by no-one, he never did anything he didn't want to do, but if anyone was ever asked to do anything by him, they did it. Or died. Death was always a strong possibly when 'Arry was around.
'Arry 'Ead 'Unter was best known for being the most brave and brutal hitman in history. He had never failed, and he probably never would. It was an old wives tale that if 'Arry 'Ead 'Unter saw your face then he would probably come back for it one day. There were rumours that he had a giant tapestry hanging on the wall in the Master bedroom of his summer home, “The Palace of Golden Destruction,” which was made entirely of people's faces stitched together. This wasn't entirely true, it was hanging in his winter home, but even so he was not a man to be taken likely. The strangest thing about this whole situation was that Al knew for a fact that 'Arry had been banished from the Outer Galaxies years ago and locked in an impenetrable cell on Virginius, the newest moon of Karma Sutra Zero, a place which it had been said that no-one had ever visited before.
“That's right,” said 'Arry. “I am. Are you going to get in?”
Al looked behind him at the crowd of people baying for his blood and decided that it couldn't be any worse than his current predicament. He stepped into the spaceship of the most deadly assassin the Outer Galaxies had ever seen, and his life changed forever.

Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
