《There Is A Monster Among Us》Chapter 9
Advertisement
Ever since that attack, everyone has been more alert than usual. Even the ship's crew scans the horizon for any sign of hostile ships when on a break.
Speaking of nothing else to do, I'm inside the Captain's office playing cards with him. We've been sailing for two days now, yet there's been no news of the intruder. They probably think I'm a liar because of that. But hopefully, that is just me being pessimistic. My troops have not changed their attitude towards me. As for the Captain...,
"What is it? Got a good hand?" The Captain catches me staring at him.
"Ah, no. I was just wondering about something," I put down my cards in surrender. "Captain, I'm worried that the intruder might have been busy these past couple of days."
"Worrying alone won't do anything, you know. You have to take action! But if you can't even lift a finger, then, whatever happens, happens."
"I can't tell if that's optimistic or pessimistic, Captain Greene."
"Please, you know that I'm both."
The two of us play a few more rounds until it is time for supper. Just as we are about to proceed to the mess, we meet Orange. She has sunset orange hair that grows to neck length and is Yellow's maid. She's also beautiful, but unlike Black's aloof nature, the impression I got from Orange these couple of days is that she's the cheerful type.
Orange voted for me to be tossed overboard, though, so I cannot be blamed if I'm not too friendly with her. She's sexy, though.
"Hey~" Orange waves at us with a sweet smile.
"Wassup?" Captain Greene greets her with a smile of his own.
I do nothing but listen to their exchange. Both Captain Greene and Orange already got used to me ignoring the four people who tried to vote me off, so I was there left alone, waiting for them to finish.

From what I could gather from their chatter, it seems that the cook finished preparing the meals earlier than expected and that almost everyone has done eating. The knights and their servants, on the other hand, are taking their stored food as a precautionary measure since they can not brush aside my testimony too easily about the intruder still being here.
Finally speaking their goodbyes to each other, Captain Greene and I continue to the mess where we stumble upon a tragic sight. The ship's crew are lying dead or almost dead, foaming visible on the mouth. Seeing this, the Captain ran up to the upper deck to check on the rest.

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

Dropped into a Xianxia World
I think all of us have thought about what we would do in case of sudden Zombie apocolypse at least once.Acquiring a chainsaw and a team to get your back is a no brainer, but what do you do in case of sudden reincarnation?Not only that but in an all too familiar setting too...----This story should be a rather interesting journey for most, not the usual level up simulator that many Xianxia stories tend to be.I tried to create a very real personality of the Main character with quite a few flaws so don't expect him to always be right.A quick warning but 99% of the story will be held directly inside the MC's head and he tends to break the 4th wall very frequently, so don't be surprised.MATURE WARNING!This story has cursing, delicate subjects that may or may not offend people like the idea of slavery for example, descriptions of gore and death as well as erotic scenes!You have been warned!

Player Glitch *paused*
Quod Venetus or QV for short, the greatest virtual reality game ever created and funnily enough also the name of the company. With a realism of 99% you can really start a new life in a land of swords and magic, and with its unique point shop system that can buy you anything if you have gathered enough points it's won many game mechanic awards.Just imagine if one player had advantage over this system. What a disaster that would be!??(Will write chapters of varying lengths)

Game Master - Unlocked [Terror Infinity]
Sieghart wakes up in the company building of one of the most dangerous supervillains in the world greeted by an inhuman entity who pushed them into an Death March that will span dimensions. (The Warnings Are just in case, thus far no plans have been made, but if there end up being any you are warned) [Terror Infinity Fanfiction, there was months of planning and thought into this. Left it for a year worked on it for a bit then left it again and back and forth. The Concept was interesting enough in both the Original and Side B, but the World Building for both was such a mess it gave me such a headache I had to restart and scrap entire ideas multiple times before I just gave up and started from almost scratch and got something mildly satisfying. In my opinion even then, it still needs work. Hopefully you guys will enjoy this.] (Cover Image Isn't Mine)
