《Working Under Second Rate Villian》Chapter 5: One out of three, it isn't that bad
Advertisement
A five bus stop away from the kid's playground, there are metal, plastic, and electronics garbage dumping grounds where trucks of the recycling factory visit weekly.
In the middle of these man-made mountains of garbage stood a single rickety building that looks like made of garbages slapped together.
Inside the meeting room of the building, a three-figure sat around the desk. Each people dressed in a dark purple suit with a big white S printed on the face and upper part of the body, leaving a white belt and boots.
"Damn...Who the heck made those leaflets."
"It looks like some sort of notice for supermarket sale."
"I can still remember the look people gave me while sticking those. And what sort of idiot places the location of the secret base on a leaflet ?"
The first one cursed while looking at the leaflet he holding.
"Number 1. Save your complaints to our boss and our stupid assess."
"Yeah, in some way, it is our fault for not checking that."
Hearing the reply, the first one swallowed his anger remembering how all three of them spent last night copying those 'idiot' leaflets.
"Speaking of the boss. Where is he now? isn't currently our work time, he agreed ?"
The second one took out his phone and checked the time. Yes, just as he thought it was their work time.
"Well, about that. Boss is still in haven't returned from home after his fight against the Honest Work."
"Oh, yeah! Boss received his ten-fold punch. While bragging about his absolute defense spell."
*Hiss~~.*
All three of them took a cold air. It was true about the boss's bragging about its absolute defense spell, but sadly their boss forgot that spell only blocks one attack. Which leads him to blocks the other nine leftover punches with his face.

"Yeah, let just wait for a few minutes, shall we ?"
"True, it is my first to see the human body create such dutch."
They remembered the scene of their boss being blasted into oblivion and eating a fist full of sand. All three of them decided to wait a little bit longer.
"Hey, number 3."
"What?"
"Can't you just block Honest Work's punch?"
As close friends, each of them knows their special abilities. The number 3's has a unique ability called Hand of Mobius that neutralizes any type of energy, including the kinetic energy of punch.
It sounded powerful, but!
"As if I can see his fist, you idiot! Do you want to see me on infirmary bed bound like a mummy!"
"Oh, yeah, I forgot about it, sorry!"
Number 1 apologized as he remembered. To neutralize the attack, the number 3 must need to touch the source with his palm.
It is near impossible for him to touch the super human-like Honest Work's fist with his bellow average human physique.
"Haah, what use of powerful shield when it is the size of the palm."
"As if you're one who talks! Mr.Magnet of all!"
"Hey! At least mine works, unlike you and your broken sword!"
"Hey, don't drag me into it."
"Haah, as expected. What shitty abilities fitting for background characters like us."
Number 2 signed.
In the first place, the reason why they started to work as minions is to earn easy money and compare themselves to the heroes. After three months, he can confidently say their power sucks, be a villian or a hero.
"Do you think someone will join us ?"
Number 3 asked from others. He wanted someone who could fight against a hero, unlike them or their unlucky boss. Also, if he could choose then, he wanted it to be a cute girl that warm and polite.

"As if!"
Immediately his friends spoke what was on his mind. As if someone would join their joke of a group.
"Unless that person is brain dead or ma.."
*Knock! Knock!*
Number 1's speech was cut in mid-way by a knock on their door.
"I go answer it."
Number 3 stood up and walked towards the door to answer. Opening door number 3 saw a towering fierce-looking woman with long unkempt hair standing in front of the door.
"Is this a secret base of Lord Shen?"
"Un, Yes?"
'WHAT! WHY SOMEONE LIKE HER SEARCHING FOR A BOSS?'
"I would like to join your organization as a part-timer."
The fierce-looking woman pulled out the leaflet from her pocket and showed the number 3.
"WHAT! YOU WANT TO JOIN!"
* * *
In a meeting room, a woman sat in front of the desk with a simple cup of warm tea.
"What should we do?"
"To think there is someone come after seeing those leaflets. Also, why is someone like that wanted to join in a place like this in the first place??"
Meanwhile, all three of them observed her while peeking out the side of the door.
"She said she wanted to join as a part-timer but isn't the boss supposed to hire her, not us ?"
"With boss is resting, one with the highest rank suppose to take over but."
Including the boss, the organization only has three members, and all of them are of the same rank.
"Is there any instruction manual or plan for the situation?"
"Well, there is a one..."
Number 2 took out the handbook revealing the first two pages to his friends.
'In case of the new minion want to join under the great ruler of the darkness while he and his generals are away. It must face all other minions to receive its suitable position.'
"In short. Are you telling me to go and fight that!"
"Yes, and not just you but all of us."
"Nope! Just look how terrifying she is! And look at that eyes and scar! Forget about the fight, she will bury us six feet under in just by breathing in my general direction!"
"Let's just say she beat us and give her general uniform, shall we?"
"Agree."
There was no competition, without any opposition Ursula was promoted straight to the general position.
But.
*Bang!*
"Who dare cheat its way through my test!"
Following the sound of a door, another figure appeared.
"My minions show the power of my darkness to this fledgling!"

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
