《Rise of the Forgotten》Ch.14 Answers

"We are here because of a job we've been hired for." As he spoke, he was shocked that he was still alive.
"What is the job and who hired you?" I would not wait for him to overcome his shock. Disconnecting the soul contract is tiring. The strain, while not that much, would pial up and overwhelm me should I not be careful.
"We were told to attack and destroy the freighter and any escorts. I don't know who hired us, only the captain knows." He is telling the truth.
"Would anyone else have anymore info, or is it all the same." I didn't want to waste time.
"Only the captain would know more. Also no one else would talk. They have nothing loose, while I had hope that I might see my family if you were telling the truth." The truth again.
I felt like being merciful today. "Do you want to remove this contract?"
"Is it possible?" His eyes are filled with hope and uncertainty. He didn't know if he could trust me, but he wanted to see his family again.
"I can't nullify or destroy the contract, but I can move the contract to someone else." When my soul has more strength I could nullify these types of soul contracts.
"Can you move the contract to someone else? I would owe you my life. I was practically forced into this job anyway. I used to be part of the group before I left when they started to do some despicable shit." He became excited at the thought of getting rid of the contract. He wasn't lying too.
"I can. Now is there anyone you hate that's part of this group, or what's left of it." I didn't know what they did but I could feel the hate and disgust that he has for the group. They really pissed him off.

"No I killed the only one I hated a lot when you disabled their ship. We couldn't take down your shields so we tried to distract you and killed any of the disabled ships." It seems that I could just choose who took the contract.
"Which one is the worst among the one's left?"
"There is a bald one, missing an eye, and a tattoo on their right hand. They are probably the worst one. I overheard them talking about a slave deal they wanted in on. Also heard that they liked to deal illegal drugs to children." Seemed to be a pretty bad person.
"Alright then. Stay here, I'll be back." I left the room and told Aldion to keep an eye on him. I then left to get the recipient of the contract. They were easy to find being the only bald one. I took them out of the stasis pod, tied them up, and carried them to the room. They woke up as I was walking to the room and struggled to get free. I made it to the room with them struggling and threw them against the wall.
"Alright, now this will be painful, more so for them than for you, and I am going to need you to not resist. If you resist it makes it more difficult to do and might make me fail and could activate the contract and kill you." I said to Durn.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT HUMAN. UNTIE ME SO THAT I CAN RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND SKULL FUCK IT." The bald one said. This one is quite aggressive. There would be no remorse for them.
"Quiet you. You said that you can speak!? I sure as hell didn't, so do us both a favor and close your shit filled mouth up." I barked at them with a gaze filled with disgust and contempt. I saw them begin to open their mouth and kicked it, removing some teeth in the process. They shut up after that.

"Are you ready?" I asked Durn. He nodded quickly gazing between me and the bald one. I then dragged the bald one to a chair and put them both between me. I placed my hand on both of their heads and put a little of my soul in both of them, the Alphas keeping my soul safe as this required my full attention and I could only split my attention between two things.
I then pulled the soul contract off of Durns soul, gaining the info of the contract in the process, including who made it, and pulled it to the bald one. He screamed as if I was skinning him alive. I then shoved the contract on the bald one's soul, they resisted as I knew they would. They screamed even worse than Durn did. They also damaged their soul in the process. They couldn't resist me. The operation went without a hitch. All of us were covered in sweat. I sat against the wall exhausted.
After getting my energy back I then took the bald one and took them to an airlock. I then took a blaster and shot them in the head. I emptied the airlock after.
I then took Durn and put him back into a stasis pod again. I could tell who the captain of the group is. I pulled a muscular Warrior Femis out of the stasis pod. This time I put an UE inhibitor collar on him along with the bindings. I tossed him into the room which woke him up. He stared at me with a hardened gaze. His eyes widened a little while after, probably realising he couldn't use his UE.
"So shall we have a little chat?" I put on a predatory smile. I looked at him like he is my prey, he is. I also decided to try a little trick I didn't need to use before, I projected my aura infused with some soul energy. Aura can be projected by anyone with sufficient control over UE. It usually took characteristics of the type of UE you absorbed and used. It is also affected by your intentions. By adding a bit of my soul energy it also added the characteristics of my soul. He paled and his pupils went to the size of pinpricks. He started to shake. He is terrified. Good. My smile widened.
I placed my hand on his head. "Now answer my questions truthfully or there will be consequences, okay?" I said as if talking to a child, kind and gentle. He nodded rapidly. "Now who hired you?"
"I, i, iitt wa,wa-was a Dwanir. The- they wanted us t-t-to destroy these shipments. They called themselves Gil. Idontknowwhattheylookedlike." He stuttered in the beginning and it seemed that the fear was overwhelming him at the end. He was telling the truth. I now had a name and race. He is useless now. I sent a pulse to his brain and killed him. He was disposed of like the other one.
The whole ordeal took a couple of hours. Half an hour later the freighter was ready to go and we continued on our way. There were no more issue's. The cargo was delivered and I got paid. It was an eventful week.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.

Rise of Toki
From a common worm to human to a dragon, they have a gem embedded in their bodies since birth. These gems contained the skills of that specimen for it to grow and mature. The more skills one obtains, the stronger they become, the more evolutionary options they open. Then their powers would be passed down to their children to unlock. This is a story about a little tortoise rising up against ... the world! Maybe not. It all started out when this little tortoise sought out to find her little sister in a big world. My attempt to draw the main characters.

Interstellar Warlock
Glyphnax had finally reached his ultimate goal, they had emancipated themselves from their infernal patron after centuries of servitude. The world was theirs for the taking and power akin to a god was within their grasp. And then a bunch of uppity adventurers ruined everything. One botched teleport spell later and suddenly Glyphnax, High Warlock of the 7th circle and master diabolist was floating in an endless cold void. It took them all their might to ensure that they did not die in that cold and airless space before they were knocked unconscious from the strain. Waking up from that was no blessing either as They suddenly where in a world of science and space travel. Magic has long since been disproven as a force in that universe and Glyphnax near god-level powers have been reduced to a mere shade of what they were before. Strange blue boxes with arbitrary numbers and statistics fill up his vision and his stranded on a strange ship manned by Humans and other weirder creatures. They now have to deal with the dangers of space, megalomaniacal courier corporations, ancient cyborg hordes and an overly concerned AI with abandonment issues.
