With that, they go back inside of the restaurant (but not before Azumi cleaning up one of the severed head and it's corpse). Azumi then proceed to use healing magic to Kucin and Cupid, and while waiting for Cupid to regain her consciousness he send out three wind bird golem, one to Filaurel group asking them to come to the restaurant, one to Mr Wright and another to Alfin and once Cupid regain her consciousness
"Are you alright?" [Kucin]
"Kucin? Haa!" [Cupid]
Cupid frantically look around
"Where are those suspicious people" [Cupid]
"Upstairs, I am about to wring them up for some information" [Azumi]
"Is that so teach... Huh, teacher Azumi!" [Cupid]
"That sure took you some time" [Azumi]
"It has been awhile!" [Cupid]
"It sure is Cupid" [Azumi]
"Where are my manner, wait I will prepare some food for all of you" [Cupid]
"No need to, just rest, plus you got injured because of helping us" [Azumi]
"That's within my expectations when I offer the help, but..." [Cupid]
"Sorry, I know it's a frightening experience" [Azumi]
"Its, it's alright, really, is just that..." [Cupid]
Cupid obviously shaking and can't hide her fear and just as Azumi and Kucin try to consult her, the fairies come
"We are sorry" [Fairy]
"It's our fault for helping them" [Fairy]
"Will you forgive us" [Fairy]
"Ehh?" [Cupid]
"Let me explain" [Azumi]
Azumi then explain what happen. The fairies that were caught by the long black hair man was used to set up all the barrier and the pollen of the fairies was used to make the surrounding neighborhood fall down deep into slumber. The fairies have to do it as there are other younger fairies being held hostage at the dark guild base. Now Azumi are waiting for the first knight squad so that they can start interrogate those five people

"I see now, then I will close the shop for today" [Cupid]
"Are you sure?" [Azumi]
"Yes, I can't serve my customer when I know something frightening happening upstair" [Cupid]
"You make a valid point" [Azumi]
"Well then, I just prepare some meal for you guys and the people that will come first" [Cupid]
"Cupid, just rest" [Kucin]
"Don't worry about me Kucin, you do know cooking is how I make myself more relaxed" [Cupid]
"If you said so, want my help?" [Kucin]
"Sure, it has been awhile since we last cook together" [Cupid]
"Kucin cooking huh..." [Azumi]
"Brother!" [Kucin]
"Just make it edible" [Azumi]
"How mean!" [Kucin]
"Well, she can make something good if someone guide her properly" [Cupid]
"Cupid!" [kucin]
With that, Cupid and Kucin goes to the kitchen and help prepare a light meal, Azumi and the fairies set up a barrier especially a sound barrier as not to let any sound to be heard from outside while Guz and Blade help cleaning up the restaurant and it's surrounding. Once the people from the first knight squad arrive, they inquire what happen and after the light meal
"So we will interrogate those five people for more information" [Knight]
"That, and also we will make them work for us" [Azumi]
"And how will you do it?" [Knight]
One of the member of the first knight squad ask Azumi
"Well, I will break their spirit and hope first and then use psychic magic to control them" [Azumi]
"Unless certain conditions are met or by using a really powerful tool, you need to control them from a distance, and forgive me for saying this but I rarely see you use psychic magic" [Knight]
"That's where the Filaurel, the fairies and the other will come into play" [Azumi]

All of them have a face that said "huh"
"Let me explain" [Azumi]
With that Azumi explain his plan to the group, with a conflicting face, they discuss the pro and cons of it
"It's quite dangerous" [Filaurel]
"But if we pull this off, we can gather them in one place, weaken them in advance and and make a preemptive strike" [Azumi]
"I guess the pro outweigh the cons but having those kid play that role, I am a bit reluctant" [Filaurel]
"How about it Kucin, Cupid, Guz and Blade? Your involvement is just optional but with you guys being there it will help us alot" [Azumi]
"Sir Azumi, shouldn't we discussed this with other first" [Filaurel]
"I agree but we don't have enough time" [Azumi]
The four of them have a deep thoughts and seem to discuss among themselves first, with that they reach an agreement, Kucin represent them
"Yes we agree, plus if things go south, you guys will help us right" [Kucin]
"Definitely" [Azumi]
"I just said this in advance, but Princess Alfin, Captain Aurora and the other will be extremely furious to you" [Filaurel]
"Yeah, even i hate myself for making them do such a thing" [Azumi]
"I am still reluctant, so let me be the one that will constantly monitor them" [Filaurel]
"Sure, both of us will monitor them" [Azumi]
"Brother Azumi and Filaurel monitoring us, that's reassuring" [Kucin]
"Before that, the four of you, Im sorry for making you do such a thing" [Azumi]
"It's alright teacher, we ourselves agreed to it plus we know we are in a good hand" [Kucin]
"Plus, I can atleast repaid both you and Princess Alfin by doing this, so I have no complaints about it" [Cupid]
"Kucin, Cupid thank you" [Azumi]
"Well, just don't forget to ask Princess Alfin and Duke Hiaccio family to dine here, other are more than welcome to join" [Cupid]
"I will make sure of that" [Azumi]
With that, Azumi and the first knight squad goes upstairs and begin their work

Demonic Requiem | The Epitome of Evil
He feared none but himself. As a human, Elias walked a cruel path which only got more vicious as he became a demon. Born as the son of the most powerful man in the continent, but lived a life no worse than a slave. His only friend being solitude. The further he endured, the further he began to lose his humanity. Even a point came when he lost all rationality and lived as a senseless demon. But no matter the obstacle. He endured. He learned. He survived. He evolved. As the rumors of his endeavors spread, many dreaded him, many worshipped him and many bowed before him.Nonetheless, Elias continued to walk on his path. The path of a demon. As time passed, Elias terrorized the world with his evil and devious means. People deemed him as a threat who could no longer be ignored. Many empires united. They allied, and an all-out war started. But, be it the cruelty of fate or their foolishness, the alliance lost. Elias stood as the lone survivor, but alas, he lost his life from an unforeseen cause. But for better or worse, his story still seems to have not ended. Elias gets reborn back when he was young, and the path he walked once, he will walk again, but this time the one who suffers will not be him. What to expect: This story is based on the concept of "What if a villain, gets a second chance?". Hence it contains a lot of torture, torment, and inhumanity. Revenge or such feelings do not drive Elias, so it's not a revenge story. There won't be any rape scenes or incest. It's also not a story like that. But expect some cruelty and torture along the way. Also, it's a slow-paced novel. In short: A lunatic who terrorized the world with devious power and cruel means gets reborn, this time becoming even more powerful and ruthless. Link for the Cover Art:

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Mobius
Far in the future, humans have thoroughly colonized space through the use of floating colonies and artificially replicating the Earth whenever possible. Most of these endeavors have gone well, with humanity spreading across the universe like the seeds of plants floating in the wind. Yet still there lurks the great mistake, the endless station of Mobius, a megastructure which hasn't ceased its building in over a century. Dante, a man living in this megastructure, is tasked with the recording of stories told by criminals, particularly those who travel between strata. One day, a prisoner is captured claiming to be Captain Pluto, an infamous criminal thought to be fictitious by most scholars. Even more curious, he claims to hail all the way from Stratum 56, a location so far away from Dante's Stratum 999 that it would take lifetimes to traverse such a distance. Dante must discern whether or not the story is false or true, and the longer he lets Captain Pluto speak, the more difficult his task becomes. *****Average chapter length will be 10k words give or take. This isn't a very serious story for me. I'm writing this to blow off steam. Updates will happen infrequently because of this, and it will most likely be unpolished unless I begin to take it more seriously.
