《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》The Nymphs of Mosiac (Ch.39)

I had some pain killer tablets, prepared dinner and rested when Ueleblacker came after dumping the corpse in the night.
"You must remember one thing. I am not your butler and am not here to serve you." He spoke with no respect, "I still am a hired gun and you know what I am meant to do."
We dined and Ueleblacker asked where his room was.
"Go upstairs and sleep wherever you want." I made it easier for both of us. How could my son send a mercenary? How the hell did he get himself injured?
Ueleblacker stared at me from the base of stairs and walked up. I lied on couch and closed my eyes after watching cats play.
"Oh dear, you're hurt." His wife was panicking. Bruises were on her cheek but they were healed already. Still her face was too close with her like they were about to kiss.
"Daddy's so cruel. Speak to me please…" she sobbed.
"Speak to me!" she yelled.
"Stacy, how are you doing?" he smirked.
"Aww…you're fine. It’s all I wanted to hear from you. Let's have some talk…"
"I had been waiting for four decades to talk with you." Rick said and she giggled.
"I will take you wherever I go!" she was excited.
Rick was more excited than her, "I will go wherever you say."
"STAY AWAY FROM HIM!" a harsh cry of a huge man came. The man was his father in law. The man held a knife in his hand and was running towards Rick. "I WILL KILL THIS THING RIGHT HERE! I WILL CHOP HIS HEAD OFF!"
"Please daddy! No!" she screamed as hell.
I was woken up by noise of a water jug crashing the floor. The white cat leaped from the table and ran somewhere. I had forgotten to turn off the lights but it didn’t matter because it already was four in the morning. I was used to wake up at this time.

But what caught my attention more than the fallen jug was the door which was unlocked. I had locked it last night before I had gone to sleep. Someone else was in there? But I knew the person who could deal with the intruder. And he was sleeping somewhere upstairs.
I went upstairs and saw open doors of every room in the passage. Last night Ueleblacker seemed to have had hard time in deciding where to sleep.
I went the room where I kept papers and other important stuffs. There I saw everything messed up, tables overturned and, crucially, cupboard wide open.
It was the place where I had put all of my cash. I rushed there to find all money gone from there. There used to be almost six thousand dollars in there, which I had withdrawn from bank a month ago. Even though I still had more ten thousand in the bank account, six grand was still a lot of money to be stolen.
I was frustrated and kicked everywhere in anger.
"Ueleblacker! Ueleblacker! Someone has robbed me!" I bellowed and went door to door.
"Someone has stolen all the money, wake up!" I screamed but there came no answer.
Soon I realized the thief was none other than Ueleblacker himself. And the open door was proof he was long gone by now.

Prince And His Fool (Boylove)
Rong Zian, a college student unexpectedly transmigrated into past era in a mythical country known as Hepeng.
8 578Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!

8 137Smiling master
Aki always knew death would be his get away ticket for something, but he was mostly expecting an endless struggle against demonic captors in hell, but he can certainly do with netting a job as a dungeon master in another world. He'd likely have tried saving random people long before 'that' if he actually thought it was even a possibility too!
