《Peacekeepers (COMPLETE)》39
Advertisement
The file opens and Milo's garbled voice greets me, *Alice?* "It's Tango."
He smiles, *Right, medical files did say he almost died.* "What do have for me?"
*This is for Nick's eyes only.* I shrug, "I'm all you got." His metal fingers fidget before he disappears, *Fine.* A series of slides begin to show.
A board full of missing persons, a Peacekeeper whacking a woman surrendering, A purple liquid laying next to duffel bags inside a lab. I pause it, "Wait, that's in the Genesis Research Center." I stand up, "I killed someone trying to expose Peacekeeper?" Zack pats my back, "Don't dwell on it, he knew the risks."
Next a video, *Purple, as idiots call it, somehow appeared into the atmosphere, the soil and the oceans. When people and animals came into contact with it, it triggers our reptilian brain, destroying all logic. While some people were resistant to the particle, after affects are changes in the brain and small or drastic changes to a persons psyche, including splitting of personalities, unwanted thoughts, too many more to name.*
The video slides away, revealing another with a thumbnail that makes my eyes wanna pop out. I press play,
*Test number one of high dosage of Purple.* A man struggles to break free, moaning through a rag as another injects him with the purple liquid. The scientist runs out the room. The man goes limp for a moment, *Subject died at-* The man twitches violently. He rips the restraints off as his body blackens, *Subject underwent necrosis on a massive scale!* He smiled wide as sharp bits of bone came out of his wrists. *Oh shit! Everyone out now!* The man leaped at the glass and cracked it before the whole room was flooded with fire. He shrieks and flails as he burns away.

I pause it, looking back, Zack stares ahead as Note grins wildly, "What was that?" My hand trembles towards the spacebar,
The scientist was crying, *Test number thirty of purple dosing.* He walks into the room with a tank, up to a bald little girl hooked up to oxygen. *Are you still sure, Jill?* *I love you, dad.* He hugs her before switching out her tank. She slowly falls asleep, *I'm not leaving you, Jill.* The video cut to him in his chair, *Thirty days later, she seemed to fully recover, my little girl.* She came over with a full head of hair. "Jill? Jill?"
*Who are you? Get me out of here!* She starts to attack him, *Jill, stop!* He cut it off before the slide turns to a headline, "Freak accident leaves father and daughter dead."
I tear off the headphones and lean on the desk. Zack yells, "Peacekeeper's gotta tumble. Soon." I close my eyes, "But that'll bring war." "It has to happen, Tango." I wipe my face with my sweaty hands as he continues,
"Peacekeeper must be shut down, they will never stop." I sit back down and slap the headphones back on as another video comes on the screen. PurpleIncidentNickGarvey.mp4 I jump at the thumbnail, Nick's abhorred stare.

Karl
This story follows a young man, Karl, as he is abruptly reborn in another world as a goblin without explanation. He struggles to find out why it happened to him as he explores a world that is both unnervingly familiar and yet still strange. *** I have given this story several content tags that may not fit the early chapters, such as litrpg. It will take a few chapters for those elements to be introduced.
8 211Obsession x Mana
The modern world had become exposed to a new element which became unanimously known as "Mana" after a freak meteorite incident, creating people with superpowers and monsters that threaten life on Earth. Perun, the "Progenitor" of the meta-humans retired as a war hero and created a Dark Guild, its members being the war orphans he had adopted throughout his career. His peaceful life of filling paperwork begins to collapse as the nightmare of his "Awakening" becomes increasingly unbearable, forcing his once-powerful abilities to turn dormant. Unbeknownst to Perun, the problem children he had adopted since young, have grown up into girls with cheat-level abilities due to the properties of his mana; they became meta-humans far beyond the level of humanity, powers that contest a twisted love monopoly for their father. Should anyone bare their fangs (or romantic interest) towards their beloved one, their sweet facades shall break with no hesitation. When their seemingly unaware Master is forced to return to the center stage again as a "Level 1" character like the rest of the world, his obsessive daughters shall move beneath the shadows to create his new legend. This is the story of yanderes & obsessions.
8 86Colossus of Catastrophe
A world where he's stuck in a game like setting. Sign him up! Except that Lazarus found himself stuck in a cave with nothing but glowing crystals and the skittering of rats. And according to the glowing blue box he'd been affected by unforeseen circumstances and transported to the world of Zara. What the hell was that?! He didn't like caves at all! He didn't get any powers! Only this blue box fixed in front of him... Hello this book will be a lit-rpg in a fantasy world. It will be primarily action and adventure. I dislike characters who get tied down and suckered, so if your looking for kingdom building or large interpersonal relations this isn't it. There will be some but it won't be the focus. He will be somewhat of an antihero but more in the sense that Lazarus will be free. I'm not the most experienced writer, but I would love feedback to improve. Thank you for reading!
8 190BASE Status: Update (BASE Status 2)
Augmented reality like you’ve never experienced before!No more need for headsets or other devices to dive into a virtual world, everything comes right from your BASE unit!Try out this brand new experience with Shades of the Spirit World! After saving Helheim Fallen Online from certain company destruction and a lot of people from harm, Willow’s life seems to be going in the right direction. She has a job, her best friends in the guild she plays in and plans for the future. A future that she never thought she’d be able to get not even six months ago, a future that was kept from her because she’s autistic. Now an update to the BASE (Bioelectrical Augmented Synapse Enhancement) unit and platform open up a world of opportunities for her. It promises a full virtual reality experience but as an augmented reality instead, something she’s been wishing for for years. The new game that’s going to be released at the same time as the update, Shades of the Spirit World, at first just seems like a fun way to spend the time. It’s not the most complicated or involved of games, but it looks beautiful. That is, until some strange things start to happen in the AR world. Some AI are showing very human traits, more so than anything she’s seen before.And when there are reports of AI going rogue and killing other AI, something the game hadn’t been programmed to do, things start to get really interesting.
8 194The Sanctuary Core
Summoned to balance the miasmas of Dungeons, so called Sanctuaries- everything opposite of what a dungeon is and does, serve to counter death with life and bring balance to the world. Serving as a Sanctuary Master in charge of managing one of these defenses, Thomas Cutter is pulled from his own world along with his home. Aided by a helpful nymph and a magical book for controlling his territory, Tom must grow his lands enough to halt the dungeon that lay deep in the southern mountains or die in failure. Disclaimer / Author’s note: I’m writing this story purely as something to do. If you choose to read it, I’m glad, but it’s certainly more written for my own enjoyment than anyone else’s, so… sorry if it’s not for you. With that, do be gracious with me, as well as offer whatever helpful criticisms you might have. I’d be much obliged. Enjoy!
