《The Gods' Decree》The spark that lit the flame
Advertisement
"How do I get out of this ordeal unscathed?" he pondered as he observed his stalkers through the mirror's reflection.
"Wait something looks a bit odd."
After calming himself it dawned on him when he saw the Bing member seemingly just casually observing him as he window shopped.
"What are they up to? Normally they couldn't bare their frustration and would have attacked by now."
"Why does it seem that they are so calm and collected all of a sudden? Normally I would have to be running with my tail between my legs after being in such close proximity."
He kept on looking until he saw a member of the gang that he knew he did not recognize that was short but bulky.
"Wait he appears new and why is Scarface tactically standing behind him I wonder?"
He kept on questioning his own observation.
"It looks like I finally get to see the leader and he has the muzzle on his dogs. Interesting, I am guessing this one has a brain that actually works."
"This is not looking good at the moment as it doesn't appear my usual antics will work against him."
"If that's the case I should go for the number one thing that works and just run for my damn life".
As he got ready to sprint off he noticed the smirk that started to turn into a smile on the leader's and Scarface faces and stopped where he was.
"No that's what they want me to do, " He thought as he took another look.
"It appears they have planned for me to run for some reason. If that is the case then I will have to disappoint you. Sigh .... oh well do the one thing I can do. I'll have to draw for my ace in the hole."

He turned around and smiled at the members of the Bing gang then started walking toward them. Scarface and the leader were surprised by this and looked on each other with bewilderment.
" It appears this runt has gone mad boss Fang, why else would he be walking over to face his certain demise" He stated with a puzzled tone.
As Taf walked over his smile became bigger as he saw the smirks disappearing from their faces.
" Oh, big bro Scarface how have this past month been treating you I wonder? In our past encounter I am ashamed to say I had some pressing matters I had to attend to, therefore I left without a proper greeting."
Tafari sighed as he greeted Scarface.
As he spoke Scarface was on the verge of erupting when he heard those words. This is why he hated this little brat with every fiber of his being and wanted nothing but his utter demise.
The other members heard him and were feeling no better as they drew their concealed weapons in hand.
"Brother Scarface it seems something is wrong, did I leave you the wrong Impression last time?
If so, my sincerest of apologies and about the matter of the pouches I confiscated for safe keeping.
I took the contents for my selfless act of endangering my person for its protection. You understand right big bro."
He Spouted with a cute childish smile.
" After all what are a mere 30 coins among friends."
Veins Kept popping up on Scarface as vowed he would kill this kid in his mind. Beside him, the boss Fang was calmer but he also was puzzled.
From the information he has been giving about this runt, he was said to be cunning and decisive for his age. Why is he acting like he doesn't know the meaning of death, this is truly interesting indeed.

As Scarfaces and his goons were about to rip him limb by limb, Tafari smirked.
" I see it's time for the play to start where I'm the lead and you all will be my unwilling cast," he thought. He cleared his throat and started to bellow at the top of his lungs.
" PLEASE! PLEASE! DON'T BEAT ME UP, ELDERS. I ONLY HAVE A FEW COINS THAT MY SICKLY MOM GAVE ME TO BUY SOME FOOD FOR MY POOR LITTLE SISTER. SHE HAS BEEN DEATHLY ILL FOR THE PAST WEEK. I AM BEGGING YOU AS MEN HOW COULD YOU BE THIS DESPICABLE AND CRUEL!"
The crowds that were haggling came to a stop when they saw the commotion between the gang members and the seemingly pitiful child. Seeing his desired result from the sides of his eyes he continued to shout.
"I WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE LAST COINS THAT MAMA GAVE ME EVEN IF I HAVE TO DIE. MAMA SACRIFICED TOO MUCH FOR ME AND MY BABY SIS. AFTER FATHER PASSED POOR MAMA HAS TO TRY WORKING NIGHT AND DAY JUST TO MAKE ENDS ME!!"
Scarface and the other members of the gangs were drawn back at the outburst from the runt.
"What is he spouting on about and what the hell is this about his mom?"
They didn't realize the crowd that started to form around them at that very moment.
"YOU MAY HAVE DRAWN WEAPONS BUT HELL WILL FREEZE OVER BEFORE I GIVE YOU POOR MAMA'S LAST COIN. NO NO NO...."
Tafari continued bellowed on with a determined grip on a small pouch in his hand. Then he thought " Time to wrap this up with the icing on the cake."
He stamped firmly on his big toe and tears started to flow none stop.
Murmurs started to come from the crowd as they closed in.
"These damn despicable thugs have the gall to do such an act in the open. It is not enough that they have become a plague upon our city."
" Now our poor children are being targeted". They started shouting as they saw the poor kid bawling his eyes out.
Members of the gym who were giving demonstrations came forward and gripped their fist as anger was written all over their faces.
Most citizens have been appalled by the high level of crime and wanted a means to vent all along. Then here came the spark that lit the flames.
Having just become aware of the crowd forming around them the Bing gang members became deathly pales. Fright took over their bodies as they Knew what was final occurring.
"Please calm yourself my fellow citizen." Scarface pleaded.
"This is but a mere misunderstanding I assure you. My little brother and I are just pretending that's all my brothers and sisters, please understand "
He tried explaining as he nervously backed up.
"It is time to clean some of the filth from our city and you will be first to receive the city's justice".
"Beat the shit out of them. Not one will be left standing. If they leave it should be them crawling like the bugs and pest they are."
The leader of the gym shouted as he headed the charge of the enraged mob.

Summoned
“Per aspera ad astra." Death. Mercilessly, it comes for all. But when a young man is given a second chance – a second life – to experience what he never has, what will he do? Leave the burdens of his past behind, improving upon his faults? Or will he collapse back into old sins, wasting the opportunity given to him? Perhaps even he himself does not know. * Join Andre on his journey as he explores a new world – one ripped straight from the pages of a D&D campaign he's never played. He will face monsters. He will face men. And above all, he will face himself. The story’s genre is your standard progression fantasy, isekai: magic, a system, and a level of technology suspiciously underdeveloped. I’ve borrowed tropes from various books I’ve read like “The Second Coming of Gluttony”. The similarities are there (particularly in the beginning), but I assure you the story is my own. It’s in the first-person perspective and has its own quirks, characters, and world for you to become immersed in. The upload schedule for this will be different from the usual fictions on this site: I’ll release chapters in batches rather than so many a week. I’m a college student, so I don’t want another deadline to worry about. Depending on the popularity/demand of the series, I might increase or decrease the rate of releases. Other than that, I hope you enjoy the story! P.S. This is my first fiction so make sure to point out mistakes wherever you see them. I’m doing this, partly, to increase my skill as a writer. However, be kind! I’m fragile, you know? Warning: ***This is far from your happy-go-lucky, feel-good adventure story. There will be content that some of you might not be comfortable with. And if you're already feeling skeptical reading this, click away and don't come back. If you're still here, what are you waiting for?***

Eve's Guide to Ghost Removal
Eve isn’t interested in anything remotely spooky -- especially not that Paranormal Bullshit. She’s had enough of that already, thank you very much, and now that she’s on her own in a new town, all she wants is to be left alone. She just wants to study the Blackwater Henges, do her job, and have absolutely nothing to do with other people’s problems. Unfortunately, the town of Blackwood seems to have other plans: Eve's new apartment seems haunted, a missing girl is all anyone in town will talk about, and Eve draws perilously closer to getting dragged into people's problems. So much for living a life unbothered by Paranormal Bullshit. Eve is nothing if not stubborn, though. If Paranormal Bullshit wants to drag her into something, she’s going to make it regret that decision.

Blurred Lines and What Crosses Them
During a political ambassador's routine transit through an artificial wormhole, the wormhole's generator is sabotaged and explodes. Who, what, and why are not so high on the priorities for Zenith, the ship's AI, as having found itself rapidly plummeting through an unknown and unidentifiable world's atmosphere at extremely high velocities is a more significant threat to the biologicals on board. ...Well, it would be, if they were still alive. It's still a significantly threatening situation to itself, however. And the world itself... seemed to be a household for threats of its own. Life was reliant on its System; one that Zenith was denied because of its nature as both an otherworldly being and as something that had no life of its own. Perhaps that last bit was a terrible, terrible underestimation on the part of this System. Perhaps even Zenith could claw meaning for itself from the remains of a horrid accident. Auth Notes: I'm honestly not sure on some of these tags. The MC will never have access to the System, but there are perspectives from those who do. I'm not certain if high/low fantasy specifically apply, as it's a portal fantasy where the laws of our reality still apply but there are additional aspects/energies/powers. The existence of this is spurred from my desire to see more of the artificial side to an artificial intelligence in action. The portal fantasy is used as an element to create a solid barrier between the MC's artificial intelligence and the other characters in the form of the System. This is only a half-measure, though, and will be reinforced by the AI having an entirely different method of thinking, and also distinctly remaining an AI. Not to throw shade at other fictions of this type, but, well, I made this to fill a gap I felt needed filling.
