《A Hidden Secret(Cancelled)》10: What A Way To Bribe Someone
Advertisement
In their own circle, the world changed quickly around them without themselves noticing, the light that invaded through the windows slowly dimmed until it became completely dark from the cause of the night pushing the volcano out of their strong territory. Caden started to head home after having his last conversation with Kaylee and Autumn when Autumn said something that piqued his interest.
"Oh, by the way, Caden. The school is planning to have a classroom paintball battle between our class and A3." Autumn strongly claimed.
"Paintball battle?" Caden asked confused.
"Yeah, the school has this thing where we fight each other to reach the top rank of the school to win prize money. It's all in fun and games" Kaylee stepped into the small talk with her own answer.
"Thanks for getting me to know then," Caden responded.
The next day Caden was introduced to the paintball field the two classes will be playing in, the sides had coloured uniforms to match their side while their paintball guns are based around their rank of power. If people wanted to rest or watch they had a shelter to the right of them that blocks the sun away and keeps them cosy when watching the gameplay.
Each class had a ranking on a massive scoreboard that floated above the field, B1, the class Caden studied in was surprisingly at Rank 3 on the scoreboard while A3 was in the first rank of the scoreboard. Class C2 was second-ranked among the list, a match B1 tied with.
"What's with all these class levels?" Caden questioned out of the blue.
"Oh, since our school is very different from others. We base it on how many marks you get. A, B and C are reversed when it comes to these, if you get 1 A on every test in the five months you'll be placed in Class A4. A3 will be two, A2 will be three, and A1 will be four. F, E and D are based on how many you get. If you get 4 E's on your test you'll be in Class E4...etc," Autumn explained.

"Do powers have ranks other than their coloured level?" Caden questioned again.
"No, powers are just coloured ranks," Autumn answered.
"Thanks, to the Miss Not Tour Guide. Where is my proper tour guide, Autumn?" Caden snapped.
"I might have bribed them by showing money..." Autumn said guiltily, keeping her voice lower than usual.
"YOU WHAT?! And I'm supposed to be your slave?! Who bribes people with money because they wanted to tour someone they know?!" Caden yelled.
"Sorry...I thought that's how it worked. They did disagree on allowing to tour you, though..." Autumn mumbled.
"Like that mattered. How much did you pay?" Caden asked with a more angered tone.
"£100,000" Autumn whispered.
"AUTUMN! YOU STUPID RICH BITCH!"

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week.

Life keeps moving on... no matter what happens; thus, the people playing their parts must endure any role they are given because, like they say, the show must go on. This is the definition of living. For Nira, her part is of an insignificant and lonely soul that is trapped as a servant in the clutches of a cunning king, doing whatever heinous tasks he wishes. But this is not the part she was born with. It is the one she was forced into. There was a place she could call home before she was captured. A place where she had family and friends. A place she wants a piece of back. That’s all she has ever wanted after being taken. Despite all the cruel cards that have been dealt to her, opportunity has finally arrived to get that piece of home; all she needs is a little coin. However, there is a time limit. If she is unable to get the money she needs in two days, there may never be a second chance, and life will keep moving on. In the midst of the big tales and legends shifting the tides of this world, Nira finds herself seeking to keep a little bit of her happy place. (There are 19 Chapters + 1 Epilouge. If chapter has 1000 words, I will upload day after. Enjoy and please leave a constructive review so I can improve!)
