《Even in the afterlife, I still hate mondays ...》Prologue - Employment proposition
Advertisement
Ladies and gentlemen, Mark and me are proud to announce that we successfully finished our quest ! Turns out the mortal reincarnation office or M.R.O for short, was right around the corner ...
We are thus back on air after just a short pause of 30 min, just enough time for Mark to recover his bearings. Also, let me take just a moment to describe our current environment, since it cannot be described as an infinite blanc space anymore.
We are now in a city …
A … white city …
White ground, white buildings, white everything !
Of course there is no grass, trees or cars, it’s more of a pedestrian town …
Seems like ghost’s obsession with ecology extends further than just appearance…
This whole city is actually located right behind the big building where we should have been reincarnated. I shall call it the Reincarnator 3000 Mac 2 …
Thus, after going around the Reincarnator 3000 Mac 2, following the indications of the guard, we walked in a staight line for about 15 minute before arriving here.
Yet, It took us quite a while to recognize the outline of the city.
White on white is not the best for landmarks …
“Right Mark ?”
“Just leave me alone” He responded sobbingly
Come on Mark, stay strong. I’m gonna fix everything, just trust me.
Now back on topic, after arriving in the city, we asked around to find our way.
Meeting various pretentious humanoid giant along the way.
You know, the type of people that think so much better of themselves just because they have arms and legs unlike the common folk. And so they walk around with those just to display how so much better than everyone else they are…
Fucking fuckers ...
After entering the M.R.O, which was also another feat to accomplish since the sensor of the automatic door wouldn’t detect us, we are apparently too small, you see ? ...

We finally arrived to the reception. A … white … reception .... *sigh*
Also a reception standardized for people measuring five meter tall… *sigh*
I could have found a stool to climb again but I don’t break my promises so easily.
We thus screamed our metaphoric lungs out until someone got so annoyed that they decided to take care of us. By the way ladies, if you have the amazing chance to potentially deal with perverted dwarves while working, don’t wear a skirt …
Mark is staring so hard, i’m pretty sure his eyes will eventually pop out.
Well, he doesn’t really have eyes right now since like me, he has a floaty condition…
Also, just for the record, the pants of the pretty lady were matching the color of the city …
Don’t look at me like that, I’m a pure gentlemen ! … It’s Mark, Mark told me…
We were then carefully lifted and placed on the desk. Enjoying a clear view of her cleavage along the way …
What ? Not my fault, she lifted us too high !
She then went back around the desk, sat comfortably on her chair and, after putting on a neutral expression, she asked professionally.
“Hello kind sirs, How can I help you ?”
Mark and me looked at each other for an instant, trying to decide who should speak, but eventually Mark recognized his inferiority in the staring competition and answered the pretty lady.
“Well, it seems like we never received the reincarnation form. So we would like to regularise our situation ...”
I don’t like the way you said that Mark, it made us sound like illegal migrants…
Heeyyy, maybe we could change our name to José and Carlos !
Yeah, that seem good, and we could open a taco stand along the line, just the two of us !

That would be an awesome business ! Money would be rolling in days and night ! Floaty lamp would come from all realms just for a taste of our tacos !
Now that sound like a plan ! Well, except we are dirt poor, spirit energy wise. We don’t really have to money to make money … and people with power could simply transmute their own taco for free …
Damn this place, ruining my budding business !
Communists !!!
*hum* Anyway, back on topic, she looked a bit confused for a moment, before asking doubtfully.
“Are you sure ? I doubt any of our accredited reincarnation adviser would make such a mistake … much less two such mistakes at the same time ... generally when people come here it’s because they lost it ...”
That’s the point fair lady, survey guy definitely made no mistake, he screwed me on purpose !
Not sure for Mark though … he never talk much about his past …
“Well, anyhow, we would still like to receive the proper forms so that we could reincarnate.” Said Mark with an apologetic voice.
“Huum, I understand. If what you told me is true, then it’s good that someone told you, you could have uselessly waited forever in that line.” She responded cheerfully
Argh, I know you just wanted to be kind but it hurts. If only it had happened like that …
Please, let us leave with what’s left of our dignity !
Somehow aware of our pained expression, although we don’t have much face anymore.
She then asked “Someone told you right ? Before you had to wait I mean ...”
Mark and me looked at each other, neither of us willing to reveal anything and shame ourselves further. She kept staring intently for an answer though … with a pained expression of realisation on her face ...
And Mark breached our tacit agreement to carry this shame to the tomb.
Dammit Mark, you fell for her pretty face ! Don’t you pull a Janine on me now !
*sigh* “We waited … all the way … before the secretary told us.”
Answer which apparently shocked the kind lady enough to extract an immediate
“Oh ...” with hand in front of the gaping mouth. Followed by an “I’m sorry to hear that ...”
Great, now I feel like shit … Floaty shit …
Thus Mark and me bitterly kept silent ...
“Well, if you don’t want to wait again, I may have a proposition for you ...” she said, fetching something from her desk.
“What kind of proposition ?” I asked, happy to have a change of subject.
“A job proposition !” She answered cheerfully while presenting two sheet of paper on the desk.

Fates Parallel (A Xianxia/Wuxia Inspired Cultivation Story)
Volume 1 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! Volume 2 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face? None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts. Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Cover art drawn by the incredibly talented Tsuu (TsurotArtistry).
8 1855Single Mother Cultivator: Determination to deny her naïve son a terrible destiny
Lucia Martinez had to fight for every little victory in her life, especially when she was responsible for raising a teenage son by herself. But when the teen gets summoned to another world by a dysfunctional martial sect as their would-be savior, she’ll have to fight harder than ever just to get him back. Brought along to a world of Eastern fantasy, Lucia finds herself face to face with obscure magical creatures, various rich cultures, and a familiar yet unique chi-based magic system that every faction has their own way of looking at. Single Mother Cultivator is as the title suggests, a Cultivation novel. Unlike other Cultivation stories, this one focuses on multiple Asian mythologies rather than just Chinese myth, and isn’t just a generic power fantasy. It explores the very nature of strength itself, and how it could and should be used. The foundational power system is the same for both major factions, with differences in their philosophies on how to pursue it. New chapters on Mon-Wed-Fri

8 161My Life As A Superhero Slash Supervillain
James Jude Jamison is experiencing something a bit odd. He was sitting quietly at his computer desk, playing some kind of RPG, he couldn't which one, although the fate of the universe rests on him remembering which (Oh well, it had to end sometime). So, anyway, suddenly, out of nowhere, he got a bit of a headachne, his nose started to bleed, he then proceeded to make a mess in the family room at the computer room. His mom shouted at him, then he died. Then he woke up. He was reborn. Only he had a UI screen suddenly at the edge of his vision. What the hell. He was meant to have some cool powers, like lazers that shot out of his nipples, maybe some mad dancing skills. He would finally be able to speak to girls without laughing in their faces. Sigh. So this is his story, of how he couldn't decide which career prospect appealed to him more. So he decides to give both being a hero and a villain a go. What could go wrong? *** Edit: 2017.06.18 - 03:08 am EST - JJ seems to have buggered off somewhere without telling me where he went. So I am going to have to piece together this story back from the start with the fragments that he gave me. I will leave the original chapters up, but I will be renaming them so they are obvious if new readers don't want to read them. I am currently trying to write chapter one anew. It will feature new reasons of why JJ starts with the villainous lifestyle first, and the reasons of why he is granted the power he was given. If JJ does come back, I will inform you thusly. Then it will be decision of writing from where he left off or telling him to go choke on his own c**k. If I do decide to take the story up, then it will be a decision of to split the stories in two, and if to keep my version alive and concurrent. Thanks.

Unspoken is a book filled with poems and songs I've made throughout my life. Each chapter will be either a song or poem. They are similar to what many of you have experienced in life... featuring love, heartbreak, loneliness, etc. These are all the emotions I was never able to let out so I chose to write them out on paper.
