Sweat poured quietly down as Jennifer digs out a path a little further into the ground. Alongside her are a couple villager woman and a couple of the kids. They use handcrafted tools.

The food was delicious in fact - Jeffery ate with his hands as was custom. it was a mixture of rice and a soup of sorts. There were a lot of things like meat, tomatoes and others that he couldn't quite tell.
After paying the owner they left the small cafe and started walking past some other stores to the car.
"ooh," Sarah spoke as they past buy a small store of jewelry and walked inside, "i wanna buy a bracelet...you guys go ahead."
Seth looked at Jeff which basically said, 'girls, am I right?'
Jeff was about to wait there with Seth for Sarah when he had a thought. After seeing all the street vendors and foods.
"Hey," Jeff had a thought, "shouldn't we get something for Jennifer to eat?"
"haha..." Seth replied, "she's probably going to eat at the village..."
"Oh... okay," he said slightly disappointed. He did think it would be nice to bury the hatchet.
Seth sighed,"ahhh... but if you really want to- maybe you can get her a snack or something... you should probably get more than just her though..." Seth handed him a note of the local currency. "i'll help you pick it out- but since it's your idea, you should pay me back with interest - haha."
Jeff smiled and looked around. He slightly wondered if Seth would actually make a killing on loans by the end of the tour.
"If this is how it's going to be at the end of the- you should make a killing off me by the end of this."

"Yeah, i plan for everyone to owe me the ten grand they get for completing the tour, haha," Seth smiled jokingly, "there's no way that'd happen, though... the currency isn't worth anything to the USD here. You'd probably owe me the equivalent of fifteen dollars max..."

After touring the shops for something to get- they arrived back at the village. Seth waved to the oncomers as they got out of the jeep. The kids rushed up again to see them. They were all quite cheerful as if they were the best thing since sliced bread.
It had already gotten almost evening.
They unloaded the barrels of water and replaced the old ones with it. The villagers seemed very interested and it seemed that many of them already started using the water as soon as they brought it.
"Hujambo," Jeff spoke to the familiar older gentleman from before, "Jennifer, iko wapi?" (hi, where is Jennifer)

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

Being 4 Legendary classes, it is up to these 4 friends to use their godly powers to restore peace to the world, all of them doing it in their own way.
