《The hidden truth》The blade

One week later.....
Not much has happened this past week. So far we have stayed at three different hotels in three different cities. We're currently staying at a hotel in Miami, Florida. The reason we have changed hotels so much is so that it's harder for anyone to track us. Weve stopped using are credit cards and just use cash for everything so it's harder to track us as well.
All of our parents had a lot of money. Aqua and Zane's parents gave them a lot of money before they left for college. As for my parents they left a lot of money to me that my foster family gave me when I went off to college. As for my cut it's mostly healed by now and we're just trying to figure out what to do next. My though on what has happened this past week we're interrupted by Zane saying something.
I turned towards him and said, "Sorry I zoned out. What did you say?"
Zane said, "I said I might have found away for us to kill them and end this." I got up to where he was sitting with his laptop and sat down next to him. I glanced at the computer and saw a picture of a knife on it.
Aqua walked into the room and sat next to me. Then she asked, "Waht are you guys talking about?"
I said, "Zane might have found away to kill Jay and the rest of the demons that are after us."
Aqua looked at the laptop and asked, "What is it?"
"Look at the picture of this blade," Zane responded.
I said, "Ok, what about it?"
"It's called the Sapphire Blade. It's supposed to be a legend but Jay and the other demons after us we're supposed to be legends to and they aren't," Zane replied.

I said, "So maybe this legend is true to."
Aqua said, "Zane, you still haven't told us what the legend says."
Zane looked at his laptop and then at us. He said, "The legend tells of this Sapphire Blade and the sides of it are kind of rigged/jagged. The handle is a blue sapphire color with a red dimond in the middle of the handle. It's supposed to kill demons and other things like that."
I asked, "Ok, and where is this supposed to be?"
Zane said, "According to this it's rumored to be in Los Angeles in a cave on one of the beaches."
"Ok. I'll go book three tickets on the soonest flight to Los Angeles," Aqua replied. She then stood up and walked out of the room. A few minutes later Aqua came back in and said, "Ok the flights booked. It leaves at 10 pm so we'll land somewhere around 2 am in Los Angeles.
Zane said, "Okay we should pack and head to the airport then."
I glanced at the clock and said, "Yeah it's already 8:30pm." Everyone went to pack and by 9pm we checked out of the hotel and headed to the airport.

Minding Others' Business
In a world of magic, monsters and violence, sometimes you need strong, valiant heroes to champion your cause, to fight the good fight, and to rise up against tyranny. Sometimes you just need your favourite mop found, or want to know who your wife went home from the tavern with. Of the two kinds of jobs, Gabriel and his team would always much rather take the latter. The mercenary life is all well and good, but it's so much the better when you get to sleep in a soft, fluffy bed each night and wake up without any troublesome perforations in the morning. They might live life on the safe side, but the team is not without their merits. Their archer is a passable shot, their brawler is feisty, their leader is, well, also there, and, most importantly, they have a mind-mapper. A mind-mapper is a wielder of a rare and ancient power. With his unique understanding of the soul, and how it can be manipulated, he alone could change the course of history, influence global politics, and bring fame and fortune to himself and his allies. Unfortunately for everyone, he's just a bit of a d***. UPDATES EVERY MONDAY Discord: https://discord.gg/Jfbkthr
8 222Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.
