《EEPOS: from rags to godhood》Scars left by the assassins
Advertisement
The carriage carrying Doreen, Rufus, and Edward reached old man Haufen's bar. Rufus woke up and they inside. Haley was waiting for them who was still a little bit out of it after almost getting caught by the unknown man.
"You okay Haley," Rufus asked as a worried brother.
Haley then looked at the three of them. All of them were badly wounded and then realized that she shouldn't let the encounter pull her down. All of them had been through hell today.
"I'm fine of course. What happened to you guys? Weren't you supposed to just follow them and find their meeting place?"
After they explained the situation, they realized that the prince's mission to overthrow the monarchy was becoming more and more dangerous and unlikely. Dorothy had proven herself as even stronger than Doreen, Rufus, and Edward put together. To add to the problems Haley mentioned the person he had seen inside the Milene mansion.
Doreen knew that man well. He was duke Eivar Mihalh. He was no doubt the richest person in the Jacob kingdom. He controlled the city of Sofia, a rich city that is said to be even more wealthy than the capital city itself.

A little while later the prince entered the bar accompanied by August.
"Oh seems like you all had a fun day," the prince said with a large smile.
No one was in the mood for jokes.
After explaining the situation to the prince he had gotten a pretty good understanding of the situation.
"Well, I think we can say pretty confidentially that the real leader of the Milene family and the assassins were being led by this Dorothy. To make it worse she is working with Eivar Mihalh." explained the prince.
"The future missions your going to give us will become even more dangerous because of this," Haley said.

Prince Markus dropped a big sack of money on the table. Haley started drooling over the big sack of money.
"Here is your today's pay. I added an extra `I was about to die' bonus also into the sack. You are of course free to stop doing these missions."
"WE WILL DO THEM!" Haley screamed with dollar signs in her eyes.
The prince looked happy but was about the only one who looked pleased.
"What do you think Rufus?" Edward asked.
Rufus took a while to answer. He was thinking of Dorothy. Such a woman with immense power and on top of that killing her sister without hesitation. There was such a monster now as an enemy but Rufus was not afraid of her.
"We will do it. But I must remind you. We have our own motives."
Everyone looked at Haley who had started to count the money.
They all knew what Haley's motive was...…
"Well then. I will contact you later if we need you guys," the prince said who was just about to leave the bar.
The prince left the bar and old man Haufen then entered the bar from the back door.
"I have a feeling I again missed someone really important," thought old man Haufen to himself reading the mood of the air.
When Doreen, prince Markus, and August left the bar prince Markus whispered at Doreen.
"Oh, Doreen, unfortunately, your cover has been blown. So, you mind working from now on with these guys?" the prince said looking at her.
"It is no problem, my prince," Doreen said obediently.
The prince and August were surprised at how well Doreen took the command without any reluctance. The prince left and Doreen was standing alone on the porch of the bar. Rufus came out seeing her standing there alone.

"I happen to hear you would be working with us now for good. Are you okay with that? Hanging with people like us."
"I was told by my grandfather that the best part of his life was when he fought with his comrades in the phalanx. That feeling when you know your brother in arms will have your back no matter what. I think I now understand him a bit better."
"Eh…Phalanx? What's that?"
"It doesn't really matter does it, and I am pretty similar to you guys. An outcast in this country. My grandparents moved into this country from the world Olympia. I have been treated as an outcast by everyone in my life because I am of immigrant descent. Only the prince didn't care about my past. He just cared if I could get things done. That's all that mattered to him."
"Ooooh really. The prince seems a bit that way. Only caring about results." Rufus said annoyingly.
"What kind of world is Olympia anyway," asked a curious Rufus.
"It is apparently a beautiful world with no winter. It is ruled by a god, unlike this world. A god called Zeuz. An almighty being who controls the skies.
"The fields bring out great harvests all year long and they produce the best wine in the entire universe. Strong soldiers called hoplites, protect the people and fight for the gods and their countries. At least that's what I heard from my grandfather. Don't know why he then decided to come here."
"Hmmm…A god. I wonder what kind of people gods are," thought Rufus to himself.

Braindead - A Zombie LitRPG
In a world where zombies are trash mobs that children kill for easy exp, what hope does one little zed have? Zed was minding his own business when his master's domain was invaded by a plucky young heroine looking to make a name for herself. An unlikely turn of events allowed Zed to come out on top, and gave him enough experience to rise above the life of a mindless minion. Unfortunately, it also left him with no body to share it with... literally, not figuratively! This story contains: Some 'jokes' containing questionable humour. An inhuman MC who has no interest in pesky things like romance or growing a conscience. Blue boxes, and a DnD style system messily mashed together with several other systems. Gore, but nothing too gratuitous. The main character is a severed head so what do you expect? Kingdom/base building, because what good is a zombie without a good horde behind them. Releases planned for each Sunday until I build up a decent backlog.
8 159Infinity Tomes - Legacy of the Ancients
In an enigmatic world filled with mysterious powers and treasures, a place where the strong dominates and the weak perish, a young boy has the ability to change the fate set by the gods. This is the legend of Ryu, a young boy who inherited the legacy of the Ancients and became a renowned hero. With respect, envy and fear people and deities alike address him as the The Anomaly, Supreme Martial Lord, Peerless Sword God, and Invincible under the Heavens. However, he first must go through a painful journey to discover his true path. I started writing this story in 2012 and took a long hiatus due to personal problems. After nearly a decade, I hope to continue this story and release one chapter a week. I will also be retconning/polishing existing chapters if time permits. Life is too short for regrets. Thank you for all the encouraging messages I got over the years.
8 78Hero:Generation
UPDATES WEEKLY The world of Hero: Generation diverges from our own in the 1970s on a night known as “The Aurora Event”. Beautiful and luminescent weather phenomena covered the planet, for ten short minutes every corner of the Earth was underneath a cascade of lights in the sky. It was days later before reports began to filter in, more than could be suppressed by Governments and Nations. The Alphas had arrived. A small percent of the global population began to exhibit otherworldly and super natural abilities, changing the course of humanity. The Vietnam Occupation ended over night, as each ruling nation took action to respond. In the coming years Alphas would begin to change the globe. Russia eventually became an Alpha nation ruled by a mysterious figure only known as Father Winter. America, Europe, and Australia become even larger superpowers as their Alpha populations exploded, in time a United Nations force known as The Guardians was established to police and document the Alpha emergence. The worlds foremost expert in Alpha studies, Dr. Pavel Laghari invented a system known as the Laghari Scale, that scored Alphas on a scale of 1 to 10 across a wide array of parameters ranging from relative physical abilities to other parameters. Now, in most civilized countries Alphas are required to be assessed the moment their powers manifest, or be in strict violation of local and international laws. In this Age of Heroes , The Guardians have designed a new Initiative to recruit younger Alphas and set them on a path to greatness. Every year teenage Alpha’s from all over the globe flock to secure locations to take part in the Guardians crucible. Many will enter, but few will earn the right to call themselves a Guardian.
8 208The Stone of Predestination
In a world very similar to our own, the Energy is the driving force of many big and small miracles, and the people who control it are revered, loved and hated by the ones born un-gifted. Karil is an orphan and would give anything, even his own life, to become one of the masters of the Energy. At the day of the final exam, he is reviled the horrible truth – he does not have the gift. But is that really so? Karil plunges in a turbulent adventure trough woods, deserts, and sometimes even through his own mind, looking for the answer to the question who, or rather what he is. But nothing is what it seems – friends are enemies, enemies are friends, his parents are not exactly his parents, and the border between good and evil disappears. And over all this looms the shadow of The Stone of Predestination – the greatest weapon ever created. There is no time to lose! The Stone must not fall into the Master’s hands, or something really, really bad would happen. On Karil’s fragile shoulders now falls the burden to prevent the end of the world… or to fulfil the Oracle’s prophecy and destroy it with his own hands.

8 188Twoen
The struggle for an interesting game has been the story of my life for quite some time. Every game I find is either too easy, not interesting or too short. Luckily, my two brothers who match my level of skill, albeit in different areas, tend to spice things up. When I look at my older brother I have no idea how he gets anything done when he's such an idiot. Still it doesn't detract from my respect for him as a gamer, though maybe a little. When I look at my younger brother I marvel at the monster that my older brother and I created. Deadliness, craftiness and quiet, both in what he does and how he is. When it's just us three we tend to destory everything in our path. So normally we tend to compete rather than team. Although that isn't to say we're just good as individuals. When we work together our effectiveness multiplies rather than lowering. Well enough about us dorks. Anyway a new VR game came out, apparently in development for quite some time. Of course my older brother decided to drive out and buy three copies. What would this one be missing? Difficulty? Depth? Length? In any case I plan to reach the top before my brothers do. It was a competition after all. Twoen had all three things I normally yearn for in spades. Something I did not foresee. A keeper
