《The Gods' Decree》It is my modus
Advertisement
Boss Fang made his way in the kitchen as a big grin was plastered over his face. Two of the members of the gang made their way to the exits on either side of the kitchen.
Mr. Ming looked on but surprisingly he wasn't alarmed at the sudden intruders as they entered. Taf however, was astonished at the sudden arrival.
" Damn it, When did these bastards follow me. I swear I took detour after detour to make sure I wasn't, just in case. I was careless, this is not good. Ok, think.... think....think." He continued to berate himself while trying to keep calm.
" Runt! thought everything was wrapped neatly in a bow and fine and dandy huh. I saw clues of your intent the moment you started hollering."
"Not bad though, you even impressed me with that act of yours. I would have encouraged you to join the theatre but I don't think they will accept a dead corpse." Boss Fang grin started looking diabolic the more he Spouted.
Tafari didn't even pay him any heed as different scenarios continued to play out in his mind. " At the very least I have to ensure old man Ming is not hurt. How could I live with myself if I let him get injured because of my own stupidity?"
" Old man nice business you have here. Nice...nice indeed, I'm also a businessman. A philanthropist In some regards, so I'll take 70% of your days intakes. That sounds like a good gesture, considering the circumstances, what do you think?" He jests while using a toothpick in his teeth.
" ...Or I could take a 100% and break your old meager legs. I'm sure you would score some pity points with the guests, as you crawl on the floor to welcome them" The members of the gang laughs filled the kitchen as their boss continued.

" You know I like monologues. Do you know why I like them so much Taf? It's simple, it gives me an indication of how much pain to inflict.
Small monologues slightly less severe pain and longer ones get severe pain."
"Then there are those with threats to me or the ones I love. Now that's a no-no, and those are ranked in the category of death by excruciating pain. I call it 'Hell has no fury like my own', it is my modus." Mr. Ming final spoke.
Tafari was taken back by the words spoken by old man Ming. Suddenly all the scenarios in his head started to fade away and one final dawned on him.
Boss Fang had an ominous feeling as the words were spoken. His skin started to crawl and fear for some reason crept in his heart. He was scared shitless as he felt he had stuck his head into the willing mouth of a tiger. "Wh... who the hell is this guy?"
" First lesson Taf be aware as to your surrounding, sometimes it might be your greatest asset. Use it to your advantage to lead a devastating blow to your enemies "
As he spoke, he then swiped a knife from the counter and as if cutting through butter the nearest gang member's throat was sliced without him being able to lift a finger to defend himself.
His hands grappled for his throat as blood gushed and washed the floor red.
Utter silence filled the kitchen as shock was the only thing present.
" You...you killed" Boss Fang shuttered as his knees started to buckle. He was frozen on the spot in utter confusion of what just took place.
" Yes I did indeed, I know you feel left out but hush old Ming never forgot about you. In fact, you're old Ming's second lesson". A smile that was most sincere was plastered over old Ming's face but to Fang, it was worse than the smile of the devil himself.

" PLEASE, I HAVE SEEN MY FAULTS. PLEASE, I BEG YOU SPARE ME!"
The second lesson to those that wish you and the ones you love harm, hell should be just a vacationing spot in their thoughts.
Boss Fang sped off like a gust of wind only to see a presence lazily waiting for him. "I see you finally decided to run. How am I suppose to showcase my skills if you had just trembled in fear".
A punch was thrown but Old Ming dodged with ease. The punches then were followed by powerful kicks that mashed the nearby tables in half.
" Taf do you see what this idiot is doing wrong? He has put all the emphasis on power but has no agility whatsoever. What's the point of having all the power and not being able to hit your opponent".
Tafari was shocked at the overall turn of events, but he observed as boss Fang threw kicks and punches that only seem to affect the surrounding furniture.
" I grow tired of you. It's time for you to die and as I remember, I did promise you the most excruciating of deaths. I see it's finally ready, took long enough"
Suddenly, Mr. Ming drew for a pot that had flames under it. The pot boiled and the contents seem to be smelting hot. He then threw all the contents on boss Fang head.
" Argh Fuck.... fuck it burns, Fucking help me you bastards" Boss Fang ran but to no avail only managing to make it close to the door before collapsing dead.
" What's more painful than a pot of oil all poured all over one's head I wonder? sigh what a pitiful thing indeed "Mr. Ming shook his head as he stated out loud after watching Fang collapse.
"Now Taf the third lesson is...
absolutely no-one survives."

The Helena Chronicles
Espers are really no different than humans; they look like any normal human and in general behave like any normal human. However, there are a few key differences. The max life expectancy of espers ranges from forty-five to fifty. They naturally have a knack for mathematics and are extremely intelligent in general, this is because their abilities rely on the subconscious and conscious calculations. They also have a mysterious energy source they call Focus that is generated naturally by all espers. The continent of Elestveeve is populated by three major factions, each a governing force. On the west of the continent, there is the Noble Houses that subscribe to the Deity Faith. The Houses ruling with the Deity Faith as council since the religion's founding four-hundred years previous. Controlling most of the northeast is WITCH, an organization ruled by powerful espers; claiming the mysterious Genesis as their capital, they are a whispered myth among much of the continent's less technically advanced residents. In the southeast you have Tech City, a towering monolith of a capital with four sky layers and metropolis' leveled deep underground; it is a city brimming with technical advancement and cyber integration. Each faction contends with one another for their evolutionary ideology, by devout religious worship to receive miraculous gifts, unique genetic lineage to obtain ESP, and technological integration to become something more than human. Helena, a young genius and esper, awakes in a dark room with only fuzzy memories and the company of seven other children. She must determine how she got there and how to get back to where she came from. Warning: Due to time constraints, I don't have the time to keep up on my three stories; therefore, Helena will need to go in a stasis chamber until I can find more time to write between work and life. I love my first girl so much! however, it seems she is the least popular among the fans (the poor girl T_T). This world is much bigger than my other two novels and I'm not giving up on it, but simply having to put her on ice.
8 164R.E.N/D
In the 22nd Century the world has become a technological dystopia. Mankind has never been closer to godhood, but it has come at the cost of nature and its very humanity. Giant megapolis supercities cover the globe where countries once were, and the United Nations fights an ever-losing battle to regulate giant corporations too wealthy and powerful to be controlled. Aiden King, a young man from the megapolis known as England, has scored 100% on every exam he's ever taken. When he applies to join the United Nations Intelligence Service, they jump at the chance to recruit him - but they have far loftier ambitions for him than making him a simple Analyst. They invite him to join R.E.N/D: the Research, Engage and Neutralize Division - a secret anti-terrorism and intelligence organization founded to foster closer relations between the U.N and rival megacorps. Jumping at the chance to be part of something so great, Aiden accepts their offer. He had no idea the pain and misfortune that awaited him. Sometime later, Aiden wakes up. He has no memory of how he got there or what happened to him - all he knows is that now he's a monster, and R.E.N/D's special operatives will stop at nothing to kill him.

8 167The Sleeping Immortal
It's my first time writing, I'm going to try a mix up of LitRPG and Wuxia. God killed me while I was sleeping, and now I have the power to become a God myself just by well... sleeping. Ironic isn't it? Let's say it came as a surprise when I, Fiend Yuki, got killed by God. God, not wanting me to die as easily next time, reincarnated me with OP sleeping powers. Before this, I was just your average bum living in my parent's basement, sleeping and doing general otaku things. Now I have to worry about getting killed by Gods, kinda came full circle didn't it? Or I could just sleep and worry about it later... Yeah, I'll just sleep... Sleep sounds good. Yeah, it was until I woke up and found out I've become a toothpick and personal claw sharper of the world's strongest dragon while I was sleeping... I don't like being awake...
