So that's why she........and I just.............I am a JERK!,but that at least this tells why she didn't slashed me down then,was beginning to think maybe she was a M...,
{"How insensitive can you be,You JERK!"}
Like I said,READ OTHER'S MIND AT YOUR OWN RISK,But really I need to apologise,that doesn't mean I am all 'OK' with their killing the ones which can't be helped theory but still at least it isn't something at the level to be called a Murderer(why not?,well just call me a hypocritical man!),
"I am sorry about befo..............."before I could apologize got interrupted by the nu...........,the " Universal Cosplayer ",
"Don't worry about that"she said while finally looking towards me,glasses quickly changed the channel"Let's call it a action taken in heat of the moment and leave at that.........though you could have held back a little you know"she said while rubbing her cheeks"So,would you like to join our group,fight the crime,helping people and stuff?" she said while looking at me,
"Well I............."as I started speaking"Ok,Welcome aboard friend!"she said while giving me a smile!,
"No",
I just shook my head as her face clearly shows she still hasn't giving up on playing oblivious to my rejection.
"At least tell me what you are asking me sign up for?.And how exactly did you got all of this stuff and this ,this whole underground hideout,Is that guy really from army?,Do you all have powers?,just how many like us are there out there and....."
"Wow easy there,just let me answer the simple things first"she said while settling down on one of the chairs in front of that huge...controler?....I guess.....while continuing "So first about this hideout and weapons,these were all set up by the first hero as you may have heard his name," Guardian "."she said while others also began settling themselves on those chairs,no place left for me huh?,
"Wait what sort of a guy could set up such a place all own his own,was he super Rich?"I asked.....those chairs actually look pretty comfortable,I want one too!(If I join them that is?),
"Well he wasn't super rich or anything like that,just really smart!".Army guy interrupted her by saying"or really dumb,the first thing he did after learning the basics about his power was to show up at our president's office!,told him how he got the powers from that meteor and how strange recent criminal activities may be related to that and how he wants to help if not turned into a lab rat!"after hearing that I just stood there wondering"He really was DUMB".I mean yea I get that he could just " Teleport " away in case things go south but still!,
"It was his request which was even more shocking,to get military training and this hideout where he can keep an eye on crimes happening around the world!"he said while having a slight smile on his face!"When he wasn't getting his ass kicked at training kicked"at which his grin showed sign that he was the one responsible for the "ass kicking"mentioned,

"or was away for you know school and stuff,he would keep on " Teleporting " around the world,saving people,fighting the bad guys.....you know the " HERO "stuff " ok that guy was 'something' alright but as a side note to myself,should never ask this guy for training because something tells me it will be a bad idea!,
"Well he was something else,So yea we are freeloading at his hideout.....well he did ask us to,when we met and I don't think he would mind.besides its Mr.Pal here who has the electricity running so it's fine!"nutc......I need to get her name,well she said that while waving her hands as a gesture of 'it's fine,it's fine!',
"that brings me to the question,who was it watching movies on the computers here,these are for surveillance only,you do know government keeps a check on them right?"he said while looking towards the others!,
"Well it was new year and.........screen here are really big soooo"it was the blonde lady(don't know what else to call her at the moment!)said while trying to sound cute which....works I guess but Mr.Pal just gave her a straight face to which she added,
"I sent Suki to ask you out as well but you were at some Bar with your friend.....Some lady friend I heard....."to which Mr.Pal looked towards Suki(Nice name!...better than nutcase at least!)who was staring at the walls while whistling,
"YOU"he said in a pissed off voice but decided to let it go,"So even if you are not going to be join us"as he said that,Suki sat straight and was about to say something but then looked at glasses who guestured her to wait and she left it at that," there are some rules you need to follow or it will be a problem!.First using your powers on civilians other than for protecting them is not allowed"I just noded in agreement,
"Second you can't go around yelling about all this,people don't know any government has anything to do with these guys,so the higher ups want to keep it that way!"I noded,so if they fall down they don't take any blame...smart people!,
"We work in shifts here based on who will be available at what times so if you wish to ask us for help unless you are going to be full timer which I doubt, it will have to work according to who is here at that time!"I nodded..again!,"And yea if there are some urgent emergences"glasses interrupted by saying"Which happens a LOT!"Mr.pal continued ignoring that"You may be called upon at times for your help"I noded again,well if it's for saving the world a little overtime will be ok I guess!,
"And lastly if you want to use any of the equipment in here like weapons and such you can,ONLY IF I ALLOW FOR IT!,can't have teens going around the world with rocket launchers for fun!"I noded again,
"And yeah!,does your power allow you some traveling cheat or else Suki will need to get you back home"Mr.Pal said while looking at glasses suddenly who for some reason found the floor very interesting to stare at!,

"Well I managed to travel all the way here from England in less than one and a half hour"at which glasses added"From Iceland!,you were hovering near Iceland when we found you!"at which I just looked at Mr.Pal who simply replied "That will do! Your poor direction sense helps keeping the place secret without any.... " he stoped then looked at me with a smile,
"Any Question?".
"Well what about these guys"I pointed towards the two hovering in the air behind me"Any place to keep them looked up as it seems they aren't the 24 clocker types and so no need to UNALIVE them"yes I am a hypocytic,
"Well for the small one we have a prison but for that walking muscle....can you not keep him inside that barrier
of yours?"glasses asked to which I simply said"YES and NO,as once I create a barrier it will remain like that until I deactivate them,but I can create only one " Repulsion Barrier "and that's my best move so,can't go fighting crime with my trump in my basement?"which was what I was going to do if I hadn't come here!.
"Well that's simple then"Suki said as she created several little holes in the " Repulsion Barrier " she had Butcher in while making sure that the force applied on him is equal form all sides so he remains alienated in the middle,why didn't I thought of that!,
"That takes care of that!,I can have him locked in here as I won't have any problem without this one unusable!"she said to which I felt like hitting my head into a wall,what is her power exactly?.
After that we went ahead and took them to the prisons.It seems the " Gaurdian " had a no kill rule unti necessary,so he would imprison the " PUPPETS " down here and once dead,have a funeral for them(well just burned their bodies with some words,dint burry as no ones wants mutated dead coming back to life by some accident!),it seems thats somehting which is practiced no more.
After that we went to the controller(the uplifted platform)where Mr.Pal told me all about the the place,Told me they already lmow my name and stuff as " Network " had a look at me before(that guy needs to learn the word "PRIVACY"),and went on and on about stuff important but boring!,he told me it will be necessary for me to get some training even if he I don't join them to stay alive out there,while saying that he had a smile which told me that's not good!.
After a long chat about some or the other stuff I looked at the time and told him if I didn't reach home in time I may be grounded for a long time and there goes all this plans he was talking about!.
"Take care"Suki shouted as I flew my way out for the tunnel to the entrance of the cave,the waterfall and the forest at night were so awesome!,I flew my way as fast as I could with the help of directions form that mini map and arrows showing the way,it seems once the glasses has formed a connection(as he described it),he can keep it connected across the globe,unless he is asleep(when the network is offline!...hehe!).
Once I reached my city I went to the rooftop on a high building where I had my clothes and stuff hidden!,it was already 9:00 PM,
god knows what story I am going to come up with.As I reached my home I rang the dorebell as Mom opened the door,before I could say anyhting I saw Cerys standing behinde my mother......CERYS!,WHATS SHE DOING HERE?,
"I will be taking him out for a walk Mrs.BLake"she said as she came outside and held my hand and pulled me away while I heard my mother shouting something like"Make sure to she reaches to her home safely!"...........WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!.
We were walking on the streets under the moon......ok not visible because of all these buildings but anyway,it has been a long time since we went out like this....2 years....as we were walking she pointed towards the park nearby,we use to come here a lot back then.
"I wanted to talk to you about something"she said as we were standing by the swings,
"What is it about?"I said while looking at the cars going by,she still has that habit of again and again tucking her hairs behind her ear.
"Well just wanted to talk....your injuries are ok now right"she asked while looking towards my legs,
"I am walking around fine,so yea I guess"I said,still staring at every car going by,
"I guess, so when I reached your home,your mother said you were still out,so did you found a place to keep Butcher and that guy locked up?"
"Well it took some time but.............wait a minu....."Before I could complete my sentence I felt as if my inside were about to burst as she punched me right in the stomach!,
"YOU A#$ #@@E!"she shouted as she kept kicking when I was trying to protect my head and stomach while telling her to stop!,
"Ahh!,Ouch,Stop already!"I kept shouting as old memories were coming back once again,
EVEN MORE HURTFUL THAN BEFORE!
SO,this is my first time writing a love comedy section of story(or at least trying to!),hope you like the chapter!

Poison God’s Heritage
"There is a thin line between poison and medicine, and I shall make you dance on it!"
8 943Game Changer - Day Dreams
The greatest foe that man shall face lies within himself: his own mind. It can contort the world around him and make friends seem like enemies. Most often times we cannot see these delusions for what they are, the daydreams and the nightmares; and worst of all the crushing despair that cloys all we do and makes it seem for naught. One such soul in the depths of his own despair met an untimely end, but with his dying breath he made a plea, a plea to live. And so it was a being, neither human nor god or anything inbetween chose to save a life out of pity. But it did not understand the consequences of its actions, the changes a single life could bring. Like a pebble dropped into an ocean, first a ripple, then a wave, and soon all the lands of the world would be drowned before its might... So begins a new life, in a new world. While those who once knew him call it a game he calls it home. Now the question will arise, how far will he go to defend it.

8 148Legend of the Seven
Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there. Goals:50 readers will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday100 readers will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday250 readers will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday500 readers and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online!Links:Lotsseries.blogspot.comSocial:@tonyswag0 - twitter@lotsseries - FacebookI'm thrilled at what is happening and what is still to come. Never be afraid to drop a comment. My DM is open. I'll work to keep this work free to access but I ask you to enjoy it from official sources so that you can be part of the discussion. There's magic in reading together to form a shared experience.Again, welcome aboard, my Guardians.
