《I am a Spy》You are au naturel

Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro
After another long day, Vini was finally able to relax in his peaceful apartment. He removed his clothes and stepped into the shower, without locking the door. He turned on the water and the cold tap quickly calmed him down. As he rubbed shampoo into his blond hair, he smelled something strong and unfamiliar, but could not determine what it was and where it came from. But as it turned out, that wouldn't be his only issue.
- The water tastes funny. - he said. Until finally he realized. - Holy shit! Enzo! Enzo!
Luckily he saw that his cell phone was right on the edge of the sink. He reached for it without getting out of the shower. He leaned over to grab the phone and try to contact Enzo. Then he felt a strange wind on his back and a tug, lost his balance, and fell on the glass of the box. Pieces of glass scattered everywhere, some stuck in his skin. Vini felt the blood running down his body and feared for his life. His leg was also immobile and, even worse, crooked. In a clever move, he tried to punch as hard as possible on the sink to make the cell phone fall. After almost destroying the cabinet door, the device fell right on his stomach. He called 911.
- I need an ambulance. - he said, giving his address. - I fell into the blindex door bathroom. I'm bleading as shit.
Then he called Enzo, who quickly answered.
- Enzo, come here. Now!
- Okie dokie artichokie. Do you want a cigar?
- No, I don't want a cigar, you fool!
- All right, easy, that was just a suggestion.
Still, could be worse.
Vini heard the front door opening. He yelled for Enzo to go to the bathroom as soon as possible. When he opened the door, he was stunned by the scene. His friend, naked, in the middle of pieces of glass and blood.

- Holy shit! - said Enzo. - You are au naturel!
- Stop being an idiot and help me get up!
- No, Vini. Don't you know anything about first aid? You should never touch the injured person until the ambulance arrives!
- Enzo, i'm fucking damn serious, if you don't help me get up, I swear I'll use your balls as gumballs!
Minutes after the accident, the ambulance came to take him in a hurry to the nearest hospital. Vini's aunt, stunned by the situation, started to go crazy, but Enzo tried to comforted her. In his own way.
- Hey, relax. - said Enzo, cuddling the back of her neck. - Vini will be fine. He's a strong kid.
- It's not that. I am in menopause and my emotions are heightened.
Enzo smiled mischievously.
- Oh, is that so?
What would Phil Collins do, Enzo thought. Vini would get a very nasty surprise.

The Lady's Handbook of Intrigue and Murder (High Fantasy Politics)
Summary:The daughter of a dying house is summoned to the Imperial City to meet and perhaps marry a handsome prince. It sounds like a fairy tale. Except Mydea doesn’t have the advantage of a half-forgotten childhood encounter, supreme magic to match the highest echelons of society, or even the privilege of an ally. In order to survive and make a name for herself, she must beat the Imperial Court at its own game. At least no one's tried to kill her—yet. Notes: Basically, if you liked the magic of Harry Potter and the politics of Game of Thrones, you'll probably like this. While the first book focuses on the female lead, and the interplay of competing regional and imperial interests, subsequent books will also cover warfare and how I imagine that differs wildly from historical norms with the introductions of a magical aristocracy.

A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.
