《The Warrens》Chapter XXIV

Nica
NICA ADMITTED JASON WAS GOOD, fortunately she was better. Daggers vs. Kunais.
"Give up Jason."
"No! Libero will prevail! Our plans will succeed!" he yelled and attacked.
"Tch. Idiot!"
Jason threw a few poisoned daggers and Nica evaded them all. Nica knew Jason liked poison as much as he liked daggers.
"One hit of this and you'll die. The doctor and the Big Boss already ordered me to kill you. Your siblings on the other hand will be used for human trials." he smirked. "Hear that? They won't be as useless as you, Arrow."
"Yeah right." she scoffed. "Like you'll ever capture them."
"But we do have your parents dear. My, your mother's scream was the most beautiful melody I've ever heard."
Nica's patience went low bat. Shut down. She attacked him with incredible speed. She threw ninja stars at his direction, and dashed with a kunai on her hand. She stabbed it on his leg, and Jason just laughed at it.
"You sadistic son of a bitch!" she screamed at him.
"One of the rules of an assassin," he said. "Never let your emotions hinder your work."
"Well, let me tell you something too." she whispered. "Use your anger and rage when on a fight to the death. Use it wisely."
She stabbed another kunai on his other leg. She kneed his face and knocked him unconscious.
"Tch. Son of a bitch." she murmured. Her hand went to her earpiece. "Nis, is everyone fine?"
"Yes sis. All prisoners are outside, at my position. Nico also succeeded implanting the virus on the laboratory's computer." Nica heard a few shuffles on the background.
"Where's Niche and Nico?" she asked.
"They're on their way back to the facility. Actually we're on our way."

"What? No! You guys stay there! I'm ending this alone!"
"Are you an idiot?" Niche's voice rang. "You can't take them on alone. We're siblings, no, quadruplets for heaven's sake! Let us help you!"
"She's got a point!" Nico said through the earpiece.
"But-"
"We're on our way. Stay where you are." Nis said, well ordered.
Suddenly, gunshots were heard on the background. Niche was barking orders, Nico was fighting, and so was Nis.
"Nis!" both Niche and Nico yelled.
"Can somebody please tell me, what's going on?!"
"Libero agents! They took Nis- Nico watch out!"
Nica heard the worry on Niche's voice. There was a sudden 'thump' and the communication line went static.
"Guys? Niche! Nis! Nico! Answer me damn it!"
Another 'thump' and Nica felt something embedded on her neck. She traced it and found out it was a tranquilizer. Before she lost consciousness, she was so sure she saw Collusus with a triumphant grin on his face.
Nica woke up, still dazed. Her vision was still cloudy, but she knew she was bound no less. When her vision cleared, she saw herself strapped to a metal table. She was put up in a way that she's standing. She looked around the room and saw her siblings on the same position as her, and their parents chained to the floor.
"Mom! Dad!" she called. "You guys! Wake up!"
Nico woke up first, followed by Niche, then Nis. Who was muttering something about a girl. No surprises there.
"Are you guys alright?" she asked.
"We're bound to a table that was put up vertically! Of course we're not fine!" Nis yelled.
"Don't forget mom and dad's state." Nico said.
"And that too!"
Nica noticed their parents stir. "Mom. Dad."

"Kids? What are you doing here?" their mom asked.
"We tried to save you guys." Niche told them and struggled against the straps.
"Emphasize on the word 'tried'." Nis said nonchalantly.
"It's no use. I can't free myself." Niche said, she even muttered a curse that earned her a glare from their mom. "Sorry mom."
"You shouldn't have gone and saved us! You're kids for fuck's sake!" yelled their dad and thrashed around, only to stop and howl in pain.
"Dear, language." Mom said.
"Sorry dear." Dad also said. They started to kiss.
"PDA!" the quadruplets shouted at the same time.
Nica eyed her siblings. It was time to confess.
"Mom, Dad. We're not just kids." Nica started.
"What do you mean?"
"Uhm, we're kinda not just regular teenagers." Nico also said.
"We have part time jobs that are pretty dangerous." Niche said too and looked at Nis.
"Just them. I'm just your lowly mechanic." Nis earned a yell from his siblings. "Fine, mom already knows. Dad, besides being extremely handsome, I am an inventor that sells my invented gadgets to the CIA. Mom's my middleman or middlewoman. Whatever. I still haven’t settled which one you are Mom."
"I'm a detective of the FBI."
"I work for the Interpol."
Their parents just stared at them, agape.
"Nica?" her mom called.
"Mom, Dad." she sighed. "I'm an assassin that works directly for Libero. It was my fault why we're all in this. I was the one who brought the Codex to our house."
Speaking of the Codex. "Nis, where's the Codex? You hid it in a safe place, right?"
"Uhm, about that."

Arduous New World
Alright, so I'm using this as a whetstone to practice my fiction writing. I have dyslexia, so bear with me if I have any mistakes, if you point them out I'll try and correct them. The story is LitRPG, I'll try and avoid some of the tropes, see FAQ. What happens is that the world turns out to be a simulation coming to an end, and beginning on its new simulation, in this process the system of the universe declares that the new simulation will be rpg-based. The protagonist however is thrust into an empty space before the simulation comes to an end, he escapes and finds that the world as he knew it is gone.Chapters will come sporadically as I'm quite busy IRL. FAQ1: There will be no Harem. 2: If any sexual content, it will be be below the screen, example sentence [they made love - or - they had sex]3: I'll try to keep character motivations steady instead of having characters who says and does one thing in one chapter, only to change their mind in the next one. 3: Villains or "bad guys" won't be charicatures. Of course, as in real life, you can meet these people, but as far as big bads or antagonists goes, they will have some modicum of intelligence. 4: The MC does not have an encyclopedia of random knowledge. 5: OP'ness won't happen overnight, and it is something that I'm wary of in terms of adding it, of course eventually the MC will grow more powerful, but there won't be any cheats, except hard work; and the luck factor will be more or less similar to the rest of the population. 6: He won't be opposing the universe, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant7: he won't become friends with god/the ghost in the shell etc, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant, and an ancient simulation ai has no interest anyway, why would it ? Okay that's that for now.

My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.
