《The Assassin's Crown》Chapter 51(Ailith): Layout
Advertisement
Exasperated with how things were turning out, Ailith stalked out the door and into the hallway, where Alex had been awaiting her.
“You done?”
“Yeah.”
“What did she say?”
“She said she’d kill me.”
Alex chuckled and she glared daggers at him. “What?”
He gave a teasing shrug, “eh, nothing.”
Ailith sighed and shoved him aside as she started roaming the halls. “How long is the process going to take?”
Ales walked alongside her. “Give or take, around 2 weeks. We have to forge several documents and I’ll have to get in touch with...- but it’s not very difficult to send someone to a mental facility.”
“And you’re sure it's secure. She won’t escape?”
“Not unless she has the strength to beat up all the guards there-It’s a secure facility.”
“Right. I was thinking we could send a letter to her family from ‘her’ saying that she won some sort of scholarship or pri-”
Alex cut her off mid sentence. “That won’t work.”
“Why not?”
“Multiple reasons. I did a quick background check on her. 1. I don’t think she studies much, so if you send a scholarship letter, it might raise suspicion. 2. Her family would expect a visit from her before her departure, 3. You don’t know her well enough to mimic her tone of speaking. Etcetera, etcetera.”
“Alright then, what do YOU think we should do Mr. Know it all.”
He smirked. “Convince her family that she died.”
Ailith raised a brow. “How, exactly?”
“Get ahold of a dead body similar to hers and burn it beyond recognition. A fire of some sort.”
She sniggered, “Quite the violent person.”
“I like to think so.”
“So what, are you going to rob a graveyard or something?”

“No, I have to forge the documents, remember? It’d be a more practical use of time if you did.”
Ailith stopped in her tracks. “I can’t. I’m stuck in a castle, remember?”
He snorted, “As if you couldn’t sneak out.”
She moved to elbow him but he sidestepped. “Plus,” she said, dragging a hand through her hair. “If both of us are busy, there would be no-one to watch over the girl. You can’t seriously plan on keeping her in that guest room until the documents are made.”
“Why not, it’s unoccupied. The maids don’t even clean it.”
“The trials. Once all the selectants are chosen, they're going to move into the castle, and if they just so happen to see a girl tied up in their room...well, that would be bad.”
“It’ll be settled by then.”
“Sounds like a pretty close cut.”
“No,” Alex said with assurity, “It’ll be settled by then.”

Aaron hadn't had a good fight in ages. No one in the known universe could give him one, he was just too strong. So, he was going to search for it in the unknown parts of the universe. That's when a portal appeared in front of him with a message: the dimension on the other side was in danger and requested his help. However, inter-dimensional travel came with its own rules. One of them was that his overwhelming power needed to be left behind, that he must tread the path to power from the beginning all over again. Not that it would truly hinder someone like him. Excited at the prospect of having found a worthy opponent, he stepped into the portal. On the other side, he found a medieval world controlled by a mysterious system. Holographic panels appeared at a mere thought, defining each living being in numbers, determining their classes, and changing their very selves. In a world where power reigns supreme, the morale is fluid and the enemies are diverse. But they weren't prepared to deal with him. Witness Aaron's conquest of a world full of conflict, wild beasts, and magical items.

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.

Devious Dungeon [Dropped]
A man seeks his own path, deviating from the norms. For his own goals and desires, he seeks a path uncharted. For the sake of satiating his curiosity, he sought to tresspass in the domain of the divines. Achieving something none had before, he transcended his limits. Denied was he from fruits of his labor, cheated and cast away to be forgotten. Yet he was given a chance, a gamble to reclaim what was lost. Did he lose more than he gained, or did he stumble upon a yet another path untrodden? Hiya, first story I started to write. This story has no definite goal as of yet, as I'm using it to improve my writing skills as english isn't my native language. Main theme is going to be dungeon building. Is the theme cliché? Well yes, yes it is. And I don't care, as I'm going to try add some new twists and turns while experimenting with my writing. In the future, story will contain more mature content, you have been warned. Thus speaking, constructive criticism is welcomed, random bashers and weeaboos are promptly ignored. Updates are sporadic in nature, happening when inspiration strikes. I do not own the copyrights of the cover. These rights belong to the respective artist.
