《Cutthroat》Side story: Halloween Breakfast
Advertisement
“Li, do you want to go visit mom and dad’s grave tomorrow?”
My younger brother, Lu, said as he opened his laptop. So early in the morning and the first thing he does is check the internet. I know we rarely have time to visit even on their anniversary so I understand him wanting to visit during all souls day, even though we’re miles away from our home country, but.
“Can’t. Halloween concert.”
I said after sipping coffee. He stopped typing and looked up. He forgot, his eyes definitely says he forgot. For someone who’s as organized as him to forget. Is he getting senile?
“… old man…”
I said and he silently hanged his head and lamented. I took another sip and saw his soft black silky hair glittered from the morning sun shining from the window. I held my hand and patted while his laments became audible.
“I forgoooooot!!! Liiiiii…”
There’s nothing wrong in forgetting, we’re also done with the preparations so it’s fine. Maybe he felt too relaxed after last night.
“There there…”
I continued to pet the sprawled Lu.
“Here, breakfast! ANDI!!!”
Nadi called the youngest. She placed four plates on the table with sausages, eggs, salad and toast. From the inner room of the hotel suite, a sleepy Andi walked out with bed hair and dark circles under his eyes.
I’m not one to restrict hobbies but at this state…
“… playing till late at night is bad.”
“Sorryaaaaaahhhn…”
He answered with a huge yawn and rubbed his eyes. Breakfast was ready. I smiled feeling glad that they keep their promise. Our promise to always eat together, as a family.
“Big sis, can we wear the halloween costume I made? You know, the pumpkin motif one?”
Nadi excitedly sliced her sausages. I want to say yes and I know I spoil them a lot so I’m worried about what the production might have to say.

Tonight’s concert is for our band, The Red Letter. It was a joke boss thought up when he formed our band— instead of a love letter, it represents an assassination notice. We are a four man mercenary team that contributes greatly to Dragon’s Eye so he thought up this weird cover for us to enter the country where our targets are.
I prefer solo war missions but I’m already hot on the wanted list so I guess I can’t say no to this. In then end, I had to dye my hair and be on support until the heat cools down. So now, we four siblings, perform as the popular internet sensation, the masked band— The Red Letter.
“Let’s ask Mary later.”
I said spreading butter and the runny yolk on my warm toast. Breakfast was peaceful. Yes, meals with them should always this peaceful. And as hypocritical as that may sound, I want nothing more than this peaceful days to continue.
Maybe I’ll visit mom and dad after this.

8 154Rise of the Godslayer
When Kan lost all his power to an accident four years ago, he thought the world of divine cultivation had closed its gate on him forever. Until a mysterious visitor offers him a cure and a chance to start over. As Kan resumes his training, he discovers that the visitor’s gift isn’t a simple gesture of kindness. Dark forces are at play and monsters lurk in the shadows, threatening not only his life but also the future of the entire Continent. Meanwhile, his power has become stronger than he could ever imagine, and there seems to be more to the accident that once took everything away from him. The truth behind these puzzles and the answer to who he truly is will bring a revelation that changes the course of mankind. --------------- Note: this is a crossbreed of cultivation and high fantasy. The world is heavily Asian-inspired (though not Chinese or Taoist), the characters level up through stage progression and secret weapon unlocking, and the main conflict centers around politics and gods/demons.
