I'm meeting them today. I fear today might be my last day alive. Last night I went for a walk and to get food. I felt like I wasn't being watched for once. But while walking near an intersection, a car came barreling through at 60 mph or something. It t-boned a car and the car skidded in my direction. I managed to get out of the way but the car was totaled. The woman inside was unconscious, and I ran out to get her. The entire front of the car was smashed in from the impact with the wall to my right. I needed to get her out of that metal death trap. I managed to get her out the passenger side and laid her on the ground. She had a piece of metal in her thigh that protruded out around 3 inches. I had no idea how deep it was, and I'm not a medical professional. But I know your not supposed to remove it. But it was gushing blood so I undid my belt and made a makeshift tourniquet. I managed to slow the bleeding. Reality started to snap back in place in my head as I heard a siren in the distance. I surveyed my surroundings and saw most people just stood and watched from the other side of the street. I saw the guy who hit her being pulled out of a window by two other guys, his car about 2/3rds the length it used to be. Two ambulances came flying, one came to the guy across the street and the other to me. The paramedic asked me to say what happened as he checked her over. I told him everything and asked if she would be fine. He told me she was, and thanks to my belt and me leaving the object in her leg. Who would have thought that my first aid badge in boy scouts would be useful for me 20 years later. He asked if I wanted my belt back and I said no. As I was starting to walk away the cops came up and asked if I could make a statement. I'm not the biggest fan of cops but I agreed. He turned around and brought me to the car to get the paperwork. I told him what had happened, and he set the pen and paper in the car, saying “we're done here”. He said that in a serious tone, and I bagan walking away. “Hey” he said. I turned around and he continued “I heard you saved that woman's life”. “I don't think I saved her, just gave her enough time for the paramedics.” and I began walking away. But the cop continued “I see, it seems you did the opposite to the other guy. The one that flew off the mountain pass on mt. charleston a few days ago. Perfect place to go off as well, must have been over a 1000 foot plunge”. My blood vacated my face, leaving only a liquid colder than liquid nitrogen. “Excuse me?” I hesitantly responded in a shaky tone. “Nothing, you saved one life, and ended another. I think god would call that even. Don't you think so?” His voice is getting more and more cheerful with each passing syllable. Like a hunter who's trapped its prey. “I can’t really say, god hasn’t spoken to me yet. I- I’ll tell you when he does.” I said, the words slipping through my frozen lips. He begins to laugh a little. “Well you soon will get your answer, whether it was even or not. But who am I to make that decision” the cop slipped out the words through his low hanging laughter. He took a few steps toward his car and he looked back at me. In the same low voice from earlier he told me “Good luck with your meeting tomorrow”. He got in, closed the door and drove away. I stood there frozen, before returning to my hotel room in fear. They own the police. Or at least have them in their back pocket. I go tomorrow to meet them. I don’t know what's gonna happen. If I dont reply, or send another message, assume I'm dead.

The Tower of Opportunity - Rewrite
Criminals from around the world are summoned by a mysterious being who informs them that they only have 3 months left to live unless they climb the mysterious tower that lies before them, through which they can gain another two weeks added to their lifespan for every floor conquered. They soon discover that they can harness powers that have been granted to them by this mysterious being to not only achieve victory against the enemies that they will face in the tower, but also attain their deepest and darkest desires as well. Watch our protagonist's journey through the tower as he struggles to endure the curse he bears, one which damns him to ever-repeat his climb to the top of the tower, until he succeeds. *** This is a rewrite of a story I started writing about 3 months ago which was written in the third person, and this rewrite shifts the story perspective to the first person. There will be occasional user polls to decide how the story progresses, interspersed throughout the story, and the polls that were done in the original version will still apply to the current version. Also if you have any suggestions for story ideas that you would like to see incorporated, leave a comment about it, and they might show up in the future. Lastly, I hope you enjoy the story, and thanks for reading. P.S. Thanks to gej302 for the cover art.

The Princess And Her Warmonger
"Let me tell you a true story about a mouse and a Warmonger, and the unlikely relationship that sprouted between them in the time of endless war." Nostalisk is a world in endless constant war. The Factions of this world endlessly fight for power, this fighting called the Great Wars, a war that has been alive for over four million years. Currently, one of the largest Factions has withdrawn from the endless fighting. This Faction, known as the Kingdom, hopes to forget their past of endless bloodshed and how they were almost destroyed because of it. In the Kingdom, Princess Isalene, the only princess of the Kingdom, is stuck choosing a new personal guard after her previous one died. Despite her father, King Robert, helping her choose a new guard, Isalene decides to head to the arena to see how the knights on the list her father gave her act outside of the eyes of royals. When she arrives at the arena, she sees a knight fighting that is not on the list her father gave her. Named Cruel Knight, this knight is a vicious knight with confusing morals. Despite hating violence, Princess Isalene can't help but be drawn to the knight and their graceful yet cruel fighting style and strange weapons. Princess Isalene continues to watch them and soon learns that Cruel Knight is a Warmonger named Sharia, and is female at that, meaning she is a prisoner. She isn't in there for something simple as disobeying a direct order or killing a noble, but for prolonging a war. Despite knowing this, Princess Isalene can't stop thinking about the Warmonger and suddenly gets a "smart" idea. She'll make Sharia her new personal guard to find out more about her! What could go wrong? And so begins the odd relationship between Sharia The Warmonger and Princess Isalene. One is a peace-loving sheltered naive princess who hates violence and the other is a vicious, cold, twisted, and cruel Warmonger who hates the kind of peace Isalene and the current Kingdom loves. Polar opposites. Yet, even the Warmonger can't help but grow a strange liking to her new "annoyance". But, can the two really get along? After all, Sharia's whole mindset sees Isalene as a waste, and it seems that everyone Isalene talks to tells her to fire Sharia before something terrible happens. But, then again, during this time of budding danger, this odd couple may be what the Kingdom needs. After all, when a large faction such as the Kingdom starts growing soft and weak, they become a rather irresistible target. [After thinking on it, I decided to start a re-write of The Princess And Her Warmonger, adding more details, fixing the switching POVs somewhat, and fixing some of the issues with the story. Don't worry, all of the chapters are still here, I am just making new ones and replacing the old chapters one at a time] (This story can also be found on Scribble Hub and Webnovel) [Cover art is not mine]
