Fake News Campaign
“How disgusting!” Someone expressed their thoughts in a Twitter post.
“Pedophiles all just should die!111” A Facebook post showed this persons’ rage.
And many more posts were spreading through the social media. Popularity rose so much that even search engines showed it on the first page. News agencies ate it all up.
Police investigations followed. Alek Kragstein was placed under suspicion. There was nothing to defuse the scandal bomb. Everything goes according to the plan.
“Mark, how goes the investigation?” Mark stopped looking at the folder and gave the person a short glance while huffing.
After a few seconds, he answered, “Yeah, it goes well. I’m just tired.” Give me a break.
“You should take some time off after this.”
“Sarah, what’s with your promotion?” Should thank me for this. Really. This idiot was caught by a student. Didn’t even used a VPN for his zombies.
“You heard already of it? The rumor kitchen works hard, I see.” Sandra rolled her eyes at him.
“Yeah, you should know that already, what with Kevin and Martin. I swear they are even better than the social media out there with their gossiping like housewives.” He put away the folder. Got himself a coffee and sighed in relief as he drunk from his cup. Heaven.
“Your addiction to coffee is really messed up.” She remarked with hands on her hip.
“Do you know what else is messed up? Yesterday, I missed the episode.”
“You and your anime. Really, unbelievable!” She could only shake her head at him.
His phone vibrated in his pockets, he ignored Sarah and took it out, unlocked it.
“King is so dumb. Didn’t use a VPN.
” Wiz complained over Telegram.
“No worries. He’s our scapegoat.” Eddie sent his answer, quick and short.

“Your wife?” Sarah asked with one eyebrow raised, while one of her fingers played with her hair.
“No, not this time. Just some old friend.”
Gerry woke up from his quick nap, he looked around him and saw that the others were sleeping. John slept in his chair, while Lucas was sleeping on the ground.
A sudden pain made itself noticeable. Apparently, he slept in a bad position. What a night. Now, what happened while we all dozed off?
He turned the monitor on and surfed through the web. He found many news articles about Alec in combinations with scandals, scandals we helped to spread.
Guiltily, he closed the tabs and rubbed his head while he groaned miserably. Fuck!
Gerry didn’t know what to do so he took a half-eaten pizza from somewhere and ate it without abandon. Too cold.
Ignoring the cold taste, he just shrugged his shoulders and continued to eat while he contemplated the situation he was in. No escape. Nothing to do, but wait for the fucker to contact us. What is my fucking life?!
“Did you see her? Her father...”
“What a disgusting pedophile. He -”
“Do you think she -”
And so on, her classmates gossiped at her without even the intention to hide it. As if she wasn’t even a human, but some animal. She wiped her tears off with her sleeves.
“Bitch!” Some of the girls pushed her to the ground. Why did daddy do it?
She couldn’t understand the world anymore. Before this, she loved going to school with her friends, but after her father was arrested and the media pushing their agenda, her friends distanced themselves off her as if they weren’t even friends to begin. Sobbing, she tried to get up but was again pushed by a girl to the ground. Laying there, she just couldn’t endure it anymore, her tears streamed down her cheeks as she bawled to the laughs of her classmates.

“You call yourself King, Alex König.” A stern woman in a suit stated as she took a big folder out of her bag.
“You know, someone like you won’t get a nice time in jail.” She continued as she flipped through the folder, “There will be some inmates with particular tastes if you know what I mean.”
Alex flinched at the comment, he tried to seem disinterested yet the woman before him could see his obvious ploy.
Instead, she sighed and leaned back in the metal chair. Closing her eyes for a moment, she used the silence to intimidate him into confessing his deeds.
Alex sweated, his body was hot. He didn’t know whether it’s the temperature or if he was nervous. His dream was to be on the news with his criminal deeds yet he didn’t if he enjoyed the attention at all. I just want to go home! Fuck, they didn’t even let me get my t-shirt.
“F-fuck you!” He tried to be tough. She ignored him completely like an unruly child. Sometimes silence is the best torture.
As Alek Kragstein was cuffed and dragged off by the police, some reporters tried to get few statements from him, “Mr. Kragstein, your thoughts?”
“Why do you did it?”
“Are you a pedophile, Mr. Kragstein?”
“I’m innocent!” He denied the accusations while struggling to justify his innocent.
“Please out of the way!” Called a policeman to the crowd.
Before a girl in a bedroom laid several cut newspaper with headlines about a teenager who murdered a policeman while escaping. She grabbed some articles and rearranged them to have a better overall view of the events which took place at the time.
“Maria! You will be late, again!” Her mother knocked on her door several times.
She ignored it, her mother continued, “Sweety! Don’t think about John! Just… Just...” Here she broke into sobs as she thought about what her son did.
Meanwhile, Maria used her computer to search for some more information about her brother with the help of Google Dorks. Apparently, he went underground, a fugitive from the law. Where are you? Did you really kill him? That’s too convenient. As if someone wants to blame him.
She gathered the newspapers and stuck them onto her wall in a particular order.
I need to access the security tapes. Personal or Not? No, I will go personally. Social engineering as a girl is easier.

Nudity is present. Violence, profanity, trauma, suicide, mental illness, and disturbing elements are prevalent. Gore is described in graphic detail that may be disturbing. The story is very, very depressing. Do not read if you are sensitive by heavy subject matter, including themes of suicide. It is a tragedy, which means that it has dark and disturbing psychological content that is intended for a mature audience. Do not read the whole thing in one sitting, as it may be emotionally draining. Read in small sections. Do not read if you like happy, light novels. Read at your own risk. Haitian Creole and Jamaican Patois will be sprinkled in rarely from time to time. The opinions and thoughts of the characters are not mine.

All feedback, critique and suggestions are welcome; feel free to comment. I am trying to grow and improve my writing, so constructive criticism behind advanced negative reviews are appreciated. Due to the fact that I am a college student and working part time , some chapters may come a little later than usual. If anyone writes reviews that don’t have anything to help me improve the story and attack me, the author, for choosing to write about these dark themes, kindly please leave, because they should not even be reading, let alone be anywhere near anyone's fictions. I am also interested in any ideas people may have for the drafting process. In other words, if you want to tear apart my story, do it properly, please. Negative reviews that respectfully point out any plot holes, inconsistencies with my characters, or writing style are well appreciated.

Driven by his urge to find them, Caesar consumes the greatest gift they left behind: a catalyst of supreme power. It grants him the ability to summon back monsters he kills and fuse them together. With it, he will explore complex dungeons and secret areas to devour their resources and gain the authority he needs. But others won't be willing to let him take everything. He and his summons must rise above them all quickly enough or be consumed in conflict. And Caesar will have to decide which monsters to use and how far he should go in order to accomplish his goals. Through his journey, he’ll uncover the origins of his powers, his monsters, and the world itself. Updates Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Master of Dungeons
-This is my first attempt at uploading a story I created. It is not a fanfic, but uses several systems from other stories I've read. I hope you enjoy, and feel free to leave comments or criticisms as appropriate. Thank you.-Edwin Cast was your (mostly) regular guy living and working in Kentucky. He had a knack for working, and was always bouncing from job to job as fancy took him. Insatiably curious, he was always on the look out for new or interesting information or things to do. You could say he was a 'hard-work fanatic'.But with an ailing mother and the inability to realize that he was being shunned by those considered his 'betters', he met his mortal end at the hands of those people who he replaced. Beaten to death on the same day his mother died, he's soon pulled from the void into a world beyond his own imagination. Reborn into a fantasy world as the last 'Demon Lord', Edwin is expected to rule over a vast number of races, each of which are considered 'monsters' and demon-kin by the zealous human kingdoms of the world. And if that wasn't enough, the only way to progress and make ends meat is to build and control 'Dungeons' for the righteous humans to invade!Edwin will have to give it his all in a world he never expected even existed, and will have to learn to survive with his wits and growing power in order to establish something resembling peace in the war-torn lands of Eternia.-NOTE: I'm still in the process of working on the storyline, characters, and abilities that will be presented. A large number of themes are planned, and mature/adult content is planned. The story may also be a bit slow in some cases, so please bare with me. Thanks again!-NOTE: People have been mentioning the rough grammar and spelling errors that come with my posts; and while I've said so in the forum comments, I'm going to post it here as well. This is all basically a rough draft. I post the chapters as I write them, with only a spell-check for accuracy. None of the chapters are proofread. Once people point out blatant errors, I try to correct them; but otherwise I'm more interested in writing. If anyone wishes to proofread my work, shoot me a PM on the forums! Thanks again.
