《I am a Spy》it's a nickel-and-dime, retirement tournament
Advertisement
Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro
Enzo and Vini had been friends for many years. And on a handful of occasions, the two would share the same reaction. If one was tense, the other would be calm. If one was furious, the other relaxed. And so on. Well, when they returned to Lake, Vini was left pondering those words of Suzane. To go to Rocinha and charge money from someone unknown. It sounded like a suicide mission. But while Vini was worried about going up the hill and delivering guns under the noses of organized crime, Enzo just sat on the couch, lit a cigar, turned on the TV and his laptop, which he brought from his apartment to Vini's house. That scene looked too good, even for the sloppy Enzo.
- Would you like a cigar? - Enzo offered.
- I'll pass. My aunt doesn't like the smell. Strangely, she doesn't complain when you smoke.
- Maybe she likes me better than you.
- Story of my life. - Vini sat down next to him - What are you doing?
- Watching Kakkonen.
- What's this?
- Finnish Championship 2nd Division.
- Are you betting on someone?
- No, Vini, I love watching Scandinavian 2nd division matches!
- Ok, so who are we betting on?
Enzo didn't understand.
- Us?
- Yes. Remember that you couldn't be betting, because legally, sports betting is not allowed in this country and there's the age thing too.
- Are you a cop, by any chance? And by the way, it is a stupid rule, thanks to the imbeciles who don't know how to gamble. The rule should be: if you don't know how to do something, simply don't do that crap. Here come these losers who barely know what a handicap is, lose their house, their car, their wife, their child support, then throw themselves off the roof, which they also lost because of gambling, and who is to blame?

- Enzo?
- Exactly!
- Damn these sports betting suicides.
- I'm talking dead seriously, Vini, all I wanted was to bet simple, win the double, fair and square, but no! The guy loses, goes crazy, kills his kids, his wife, and then throws himself off the terrace. Somehow, we all lose!
- Ok, before you start another rant, what are we betting on?
- Honka half a goal.
- What does it mean?
- A half-goal advantage for Honka, who are playing away against - Enzo needed to check - PIF.
- PIF?
- That's the name of the other team. It must be the sponsor that owns the club and then forces them to put these fucked up names. Anyway, the bet of (0.5) means that I am giving a half goal advantage to Honka.
- But there is no such thing as half a goal in football.
- Exactly. So any win or draw for Honka, it's our win.
- And how are we looking?
Enzo looked at the screen. And, more importantly, the live score.
- Honka losing 4-0 with only 20 minutes on the clock. And a red card.
- Bollocks.
- What can I say, my friend. It happens.
So, after that betting explanation, Vini went to ask Enzo about his feelings for the next day. As I said, Vini was concerned, but Enzo didn't show anything.
- Hey, Enzo, what do you think about tomorrow? - Vini asked.
- Why? Are you nervous?
- A little bit. I don't like Rocinha. Nothing against it, but that place gives me the creeps.
- Yeah, it doesn't even compare to Barra da Tijuca, but it's still a spot.
What?
- Are you paying attention to what I am saying?
- Sort of. I am watching this other match. MLS.

- Hang on, you said you never bet on MLS. You say that it's a nickel-and-dime, retirement tournament.
- It is, but bettors are always contradicting themselves. Remember when I said that I hate La Liga and La Liga 2?
- You specifically said that Spain leagues give you acid reflux.
- True that.
- And you keep on betting?
- How can you not? It's like the prettiest girl in school who will never give you a chance, but you insist on grabbing her attention. You know it's a waste of time, but you keep at it anyway.
- Why are we even talking about this?
- Not on me, you asked, sucker. I'm trying to lose money on those ass Muricans.

Observation of a Demon Tortoise
An animal as ordinary as a tortoise holds the potential to become a powerful demon. This is the observation of one such tortoise that lived a long life of hardship and desire, falling to the dark side and becoming a creature that nothing could oppose. However, no matter how powerful it was in its later days, in its early life, it was a vulnerable animal that risked its life nearly every day. This is a record from birth to demonification to death. A full biography of this magnificent creature in all its glory. Credits to EpicKiller11 for the cover.

8 126Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.
