《Immortal Apocalypse Marketplace》Chapter 1, A sudden Visit
Advertisement
An ordinary day in the morning, you could smell some sweet bacon in the neighborhood. One might think that this smell came from a professional restaurant but it came from the ordinary Royce household, Alex Royce a normal boy who aimed to become a chef but quit due to the harsh reality and capitalistic need for money, it is not as if the Royce household was poor. Rather it was Royce who chose to gave up simply because becoming a well paid chef required more effort than a well paid Software Engineer.
His parents supporting his true wishes forced him to enroll in cooking classes but he still ended up in the CS department of his college although learning a bit of cooking paired with his natural desire to cook and talent resulted in the scene before us.
"Brother, Are you sure you do not wish to work as a chef? Our parents will support you if you wish for it"
Taking a bit of the freshly cooked bacon a cute silver haired girl you could often assume to be a child said so
"Hmm, I think we have had this talk way more than needed just finish up your bacon,you will be late for school"
Yes this child looking girl is actually a highschool student, due to being ill often as a child she was unable to grow in various ways
"Brother, I wish to take today off, may I?"
"Again? Listen to me those children are not mocking you, please dont let a few idiots ruin your mood"
Although a story for a different time, Alex often laments at how his little sister was slowly becoming more and more of a shut in.
"Ah brother, stop with the lecture I am not such a child, I just simply dont feel like it today"

"You mean today again"
Emphasizing on 'again' he completely shut off his sister who seemed to be ashamed of it, perhaps due to her shy nature she grew up more formal than normal children of her age, introverts tend to be more mature in any case so no one seemed to mind, seeing her dilemma he offered her a lifeline
"Well if you dont feel well thats that, go back to sleep since its still early"
Cheered up by his proposition her previous ashamed expression seemed like a lie. As their parents were often away her brother appeared as her father figure. He always considered it his responsibility to raise her right and as he was thinking of what to do to help her get back to school she suddenly came to some form of realization
"Brother you are quite the gigolo, cornering someone then offering them a lifeline"
ofcourse said realization was nothing good but her brother simply shrugged it off as another one of her jokes and replied
"Oh really how did you figure it out? the truth is I have been aiming to seduce you so I wont have to hand you over to anyone"
Although a joke there seemed to be some form of his true feelings inside, knowing to him she is just a sister he must take responsibility for she planned to return the joke when she saw his face full of determination for something. Not knowing whether to just continue the joke or stay quiet she seemingly got more and more conscious of him and ended up staying quiet
"Well since you wont be going to school remember to lock up properly and dont open the door even if they claim to know me or our parents, call the police immediately if you seem anyone suspicious and call me if something goe-"

"Yes yes, I am still in highschool of course I dont have basic common sense"
"Dont get sly with me missy, take care understood?"
"Yes sir!"
Awfully cheerful in contrast to a while ago he left her home feeling slightly worried for her future, meanwhile after closing the door she ran straight up to her room and brought out her diary to record the interactions which just happened. After writing it she hugged the diary tightly seemingly afraid itll run away and got lost in some sort of fantasy a while later her expressioned hardened and she muttered
"Father what should I do, I wonder if brother would hate me if-"
The doorbell interrupted her thoughts as she rushed down to see whether her brother forgot something, opening the door all she saw was a package, figuring that her brother must have ordered it she took it in and opened it, sitting near the front door as she couldnt contain her curiosity
"I wonder what sort of porn magazines did he order this time, he always asks for the package to look normal which makes it look even more suspicious"
One of her favorite passtimes as a shutin was finding out what sort of things her brother liked, having nothing else to do and finding some form of pleasure in doing so it slowly turned from normal things like favorite food to sexual tastes
"Brother has been awfully getting more and more into bigger breasts, does he not realize that the bigger ones sag earlier and have a lot of problems"
Unknowingly just ranting off at her brother she got the package open, inside were two boxes witch she didnt get to open as the bell ran again

The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.
