《One Punch Man : The New Saitama》House of Evolution Part 3
Advertisement
Lightning Max and Stinger were respectively, the rank 10 and 19 A-Class Heroes, as such they weren't all that suprised to being used as cannon fodder until the S-Class Heroes came to save the situation. But this time the situation was a bit different.
A-City had been attacked, a demon level threat and a dragon level threat appeared in the city and started to randomly attack civilians. As A-Class Heroes they were supposed to be able to deal with this problem or atleast stop the mysterious beings until higher ranked Heroes came. However they hadn't even had the time to beat the demon level threat that the Dragon level threat had literally destroyed them. Be it in terms of speed or strengh, this Beast King was better than them and they knew it. That's why they simply decided to distract him while the civilians in the area escaped.
Unfortunately they couldn't keep up with this monster forever, they needed some reinforcements.
" HQ!! HQ!!! We have a bit of a problem here! Send some damn help or we're both dead!!!" Yelled Stinger as he held his phone with one hand while the other was used to protect himself with his spear. Beast King was throwing a flurry of slashes at Stinger while Lightning Max was getting a beating from Ground Dragon who was attacking him from the ground, appearing in an instant only to disappear the next in a tunnel that he dug himself.
" We are deeply sorry Stinger. Sadly the Heroes that we sent to help you were stopped by a group of monkeys-like mysterious beings. They appeared all of a sudden and started to slaughter the Heroes. Metal Knight is on his way to help them, he should arrive soon and when he's finished with those monsters, you'll get your reinforcement!" Said Bearded Worker , the staff member on the other end of the phone.

" The hell you mean?! We won't be able to survive until Metal knight shows himself!!! We need some help immedia-"
*BOOM!!!!*
Bearded Worker was quite stunned when he heard an explosion, quickly followed by a gasp coming from Stinger.
"Stinger? STINGER!!! What is going on ?! What was that?!" Yelled Bearded Worker, startling the other staff members around him.
"Hehehe.....Actually, nevermind. You don't need to send any help....Y-Yeah no need to" Said Stinger in a tone that showed how deeply shocked he was by what he was seeing. Bearded Worker had to supress his own gasp when he heard Stinger dropping the phone, which ended the call. A second after that happened, Bearded Worker yelled at the staff members around him, telling them to send a group of B-Class Heroes to see what was going on with Stinger and Lightning Max. Talking about them.....
"M-Max, i ain't dreaming right ? Did i just saw what i think i saw ?" Asked Stinger, his mouth trembling.
"..."
Hearing no answers from his fellow hero, Stinger turned around and saw that Lightning Max had actually fainted.
"* Chuckle* Damn, this is really a bad day. " Said Stinger as he fell on the ground, exhausted by the previous fight. He could afford to do that, considering that the mysterious being who had been destroying him for a while, was just sent flying into space.
" Well damn. I certainly didn't expect him to be sent flying so far away. I think i should just destroy monsters with my strikes instead of sending them flying away." Said the man that had sent Beast King flying into space with a single kick. Said man then gasped when he saw the state of his clothes.
" Aaaaaand i'm covered in blood...* Sigh* I should really change costume. A plain black hoodie with a black short, isn't the best costume i could've found." Said the man, before he turned around and saw the frozen Ground Dragon who looked like he was step away from having a heart attack. The man shrugged and suddenly appeared besides Ground Dragon, which made the mysterious being scream. A scream that didn't last long since a hand met with Ground Dragon's face, slapping him so hard that he had a red mark carved on his face.

" Shut up...." Said the man, grabbing the monter and putting him on his shoulder, before making his way towards Stinger.
" Hey, you must be Stinger, right ? " Asked the man, shaking Stinger out of his stupor.
" You....You...Y-Y-You...." Stuttered Stingee, unable to talk normally.
" Yes, i ? I what ? You know, i can't understand if you don't talk." Said the man, faking annoyance which made Stinger pale.
" Hahaha! I'm just kidding! Well, Stinger...You should get this monster to the hero association HQ." Said the man, dropping the monster on the ground and walking away. Stinger wanted to stop him, but couldn't even get a sound to come out of his mouth, he was just too shocked. So shocked that he passed out quickly after the man left, not knowing that Metal Knight had just arrived.

( In front of the now destroyed House of Evolution.)
" WHY DID YOU DO THAT YOU STUPID ROBOT?!!!!" Screamed Tatsumaki, her face just a mere inches away from Genos'. She was so angry that her face had got red.
" As i already said i'm not a robot but a cyborg, there's the difference which is why there are two different words instead of just one. Also i destroyed the House of Evolution because there wasn't anything interesting inside. I detected several figures inside the building, and they all had the same signature. Which means that they're the clones that Mosquito Girl talked about. I also detected a basement under the building with two signatures, one being the same as those i detected in the building and another one being unknown." Said Genos, stunning Tatsumaki who had the decency to blush.
" I-I knew it, okay ?! Hmph!!!" Snorted Tatsumaki as she flew towards the now destroyed building, searching for the entrance to the basement. She finally found it, but immediately after that, she heard a few voices that she knew all so well. Turning around, Tatsumaki saw that Amai Mask, Zombieman, Child Emperor , Superalloy Darkshine, Metal Bat and King just arrived.
" HEY YOU DUMBASSES!!! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?!!!" Yelled Tatsumaki, getting the attention of the heroes who were talking with Genos. Amai Mask smiled when he saw the destroyed building, while the other frowned when they saw Tatsumaki looking so angry. The Heroes walked to Tatsumaki as she stood in front of the entrance to the basement with a smug look on her face.
" Now that everyone is here, we can go and finish the House of Evolution" Said Child Emperor, getting nods from the heroes while Tatsumaki puffed her cheeks but didn't say anything. The heroes were about to enter when they heard a certain noise. A sound that made many of the heroes sweat.
* Thump Thump** Thump Thump*
" W-Well, after you of course..."

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
8 95Sorcerer, level 1
Alcar's life sucks. His days in the poor quarter of the city of Katresburg are long and tough, his parents treat him like garbage, and he doesn’t have a silver moon to his name. But Alcar knows that there is an exciting world of adventure out there. And when he sees a half-orc master sorcerer walking through his neighborhood, he decides to grab his chance. He approaches Master Maluhk to offer his services as an apprentice. And to his shock, the sorcerer agrees to let him come and try his luck along with several other applicants. Soon though, it is all too clear that Alcar, clumsy and lazy as he is, lacks any natural magical talent. It also becomes apparent that Master Maluhk is only interested in ’apprentices’ in order to get someone to do his laundry and tidy up his books. At best, Alcar and the others have signed up to do unpaid labor. Things go from bad to worse when his fellow applicants for the role of apprentice prove to be reckless in the extreme, and as Master Maluhk’s tower catches fire, Alcar soon finds himself being blamed for their misdemeanors. Can Alcar clear his name, gain another chance, and learn enough to show that he has the potential to be a proper sorcerer’s apprentice? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
