《Peacekeepers (COMPLETE)》17 HOSTAGE
Advertisement
As I march outside, Tango raises a rifle. "Don't worry, I've got an extra." She throws me it as Zero snarls at me. "What's with you two?" "He's mad at me for putting you in harm's way." Zero's jaw stiffens, "In a dangerous profession." She raises her chin, "That I applied into, knowing the risks."
His nose wrinkled up before he explodes, "You didn't know the risks until that ambush!" I gasp and slowly lower my head. Bolt backs up, "Aaand that's my cue." I clench my fists and raise my head up, "Now I know the risks. I'm gonna help tip the scales, Zero."
He stares back with his eye twitching as Bolt halts beside me. He tilts his head, "Are we done now, Zero?" He
grits his teeth, "Yeah! We're done." Bolt smiles wide, "Good. Now come on team." I turn around and jog to the group ahead.
"I don't want anything bad between us, Zero." He glares, "Give me some space." I smile and sprint up to the group and some wooden panel buildings. "Helmets on, people!" As Zero finally catches up, he hunches over and breathes heavily. "Shit, I'm gettin old." Tango hunches over too, "How old are you?"
He stands up, quick. "Forty six." "THETA! You're up!" Gladius walks up and points, "Tango! Take point!"
"Me?!" Bolt smiles at me, "This is how I learned, don't tank it." I raise my fist to my heart, "I'm gonna ace it." I raise
my gun and accidentally fire it up in the air. Zero and Bolt nod to each other as we enter. "Trust your senses in here."
I go in and aim at a target as the others fan out behind me. I quickly pull the trigger, quickly putting holes into the metal. Bolt yells, "Clear!" Gladius comes from behind me, "Step to the left or right so we can get in faster to back you up."

I nod and open the next door, I peek in, then march in and to the left, firing. Bolt and Zero quickly rush in as backup. "Some rooms could have hostages, civilians-" "Help!" I quickly run to the next door and slap it open. I peek in and shoot at a target.
"Shit!" Gladius pushes me back and closes the door, "Wait here." We hear him put up new targets. After about a minute, he comes back the way we came in. "Ok, go on in." "Help!" I slap it open and shoot the first target. One of those fire cultists has his hands up, so I lean up against it quick. Zero comes in and shoots one.
Then Bolt goes, marching in and quickly turning before pelting a target. He points at me and then lowers it.
I get off of the target and Bolt goes limp before giving me a thumbs up. We all turn towards Gladius, "Good jo-" *Hacker's location found.* Bolt's eyes widen.

Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World
The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game. In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit. However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

The Successor
The Immortal God Emperor is dead...yet his Successor will one day arise. The worlds had long moved on from the greatest Cultivator of all time. The things that had been achieved and the advances made in the Immortal God Emperor's absence were nothing to turn one's nose up at. And yet, something was always missing. Because Cultivators, no matter the goals they pursue, always bow to the greater power. They seek it, they covet it for themselves, and they serve it with reverence. Shan Kai Lan was born into such a world. Born to two herb farmers whose cultivation did not surpass the Foundation Realm, yet who loved their son more than anything. Kai Lan was a child blessed by the Spiritual Plain, far more gifted and more intelligent than others his age. Yet the more profound his achievements, the greater the likelihood that his happy, peaceful life would be trampled on by those who desired his potential for themselves. The question of Kai Lan's journey becomes not whether he will reach the highest peak of cultivation, but what he will be forced to do to keep his young Clan, and the happiness it provides, at peace. Note to Reader: I am not of an Asian background, but this work is heavily influenced by Eastern stories and concepts. In saying that, it is an INFLUENCE only. Keep in mind that this is a fantasy work, and any butchering of names, concepts or cultural objects/places/subjects are not meant in any way to offend. With that in mind, Happy Reading! - Jelim

I will slowly go back from time to time and re edit and rephrase/word on earlier chapters when I am able to. I will make future announcments in the authors notes when I have done so. But I do not think as they are now it should hinder the experience of the novel that much. Thanks for your understanding and do hope you enjoy the Story. I do not own the picture used in the cover art, Found it online and thought it looked nice. Just temporary till i can find another. I am bad with genres, If you feel it should be different please let me know I do not have a set time for releases, as of now I write when I have the spare time. So sometimes I release 1 to 3 a week or it could be once every other week.
