《Dawn Of The Lilies》Trickster
Advertisement
He sat perched on the wall looking down into the valley below. The silent night had shadows stretching out from the trees, reaching greedily for areas that the moonlight held. It was fascinating much like how he felt when he pulled his tricks to get the things he wanted.
A breaking twig to his right broke the silence, stirring his thoughts as he leaned over to see what had caused it. A lanky boy was bent down petting a white rabbit. Well, that's what it looked like until a light started shining brightly from his hands. The rabbit twitched its legs then scurried away; the boy leaned back an adorable boxy grin playing across his soft face. He must have felt someone watching him because he jumped up looking hastily around before he too ran off into the night.
Jimin grinned.
"What are you looking at?" Her sweet voice commanding his attention. Addi didn't like when she wasn't the center of his attention. Which made it easier for him to get her to do most of the deeds he needed done. Tonight's task was to acquire a flaming rose from a Night Halo. A flaming rose is almost exactly how it sounds. Except it required a good bit of mischief for them to use it. Addi liked mischief as much as himself. So, it should have been a piece of cake.
"Why do you need it Jimin?" Addi asked playing with his earring dangling from his ear.
"I need it for an elixir I'm working on."
"You can't just ask for it?"
"That type of thing you can't get by asking. It requires anger, and a sense of authority." He said calmly jumping down from the ledge and slipping into the shadows below it. Addi clung to his shoulder her little wings flicking nervously.

"Oh...okay." she smiled still unsure of what was going on. But, the thrill of it soon took over.
"There..." Jimin pointed toward the stone walkway. The steady clicking of boots echoed in the cool night air. Sliding his hands along the cold brick, they began to crumble, falling over into the valley. The clicking increased, a man in black slacks, and a halfway buttoned up shirt appeared his tan skin showing from the opening. A hat pulled down over his dark eyes, and his lips tugged in a grimace.
Clearly his peaceful walk being interrupted caused him a great inconvenience. Because when his eyes saw the wall crumbling, his shoulders slumped, and his head fell back groaning.
"Ugh... every friggin time..."
Mind you Jimin had been doing this for the last three days. He needed the flaming rose, this guy just didn't seem to get angry or maybe he lacked authority. The Halo symbol on his hat that was now on the ground said otherwise.
"Your turn Addi..." She giggled when Jimin whispered to her, making the man's head roll forward to look in their direction. He sounded like he was growling, that stopped though when Addi made sparks shoot up out of the ground around him. An ORB darted by in the air hovering for a little longer than a second then disappeared over the building opposite the wall.
"Aaaah!! Ahh! Stop!" The Halo cried out panicking hopping around to avoid the hot sparks. Jimin stifled a laugh stepping out from the shadows his face concealed by a silver moon scarf.
Addi stopped her eyes glinting in the light. The Halo stood breathing hard, his hands grasping his knees. He narrowed his eyes when he saw them.
"What's your purpose!" He demanded an answer, however Jimin just paced around him silently. He could feel the man's anger boiling to the surface. The air around him sparking with static electricity.

"Answer me!" He bellowed, coming unhinged with every quiet step Jimin took around him. Flames licked at his fingertips, making Jimin smile a feeling of triumph coursing through him.
A low guttural growl escaped the man's snarling lips as he stood, spinning his hands in a circle pulling them back to his chest. His eyes glowed red when he flung his hands forward at Jimin.
POP!
The boy from before appeared a blue light around him consuming the flaming rose. The Halo tensed up his hands still engulfed in red fire.
"Joonie..." he whispered shaking his head to clear his hair from his brow. The light flickered out, and the Halos anger dissipated.
"Tae...You really can't interfere with a Halo's judgement." He was calm now, his eyes fading back to a warm brown. The boy called Tae smiled jutting a thumb in Jimin's direction.
"He was just toying with you. The wall isn't crumbling. Look."
The Halo stared at the once crumbling wall. It looked as it always did. Vines of honeysuckle climbing up it, and the occasional yellow lily. Aside from that no signs of damage. He groaned loudly turning toward a very unpleased Jimin. The fairy on his shoulder didn't seem bothered at all. Just happy to be where she was on him.
"What's your purpose?" The Halo demanded again. The boy stood rocking back and forth on his feet all innocent, as if he hadn't stolen the flaming rose from him. Jimin glared at him then shifted his glare to the Halo.
"Nothing now. my plans have been thwarted."
"Then I suggest you get home." He spat clearly still angry. Jimin lingered for a second with a single curious look at Tae he ran away, scaling the wall and dropping to the ground below.
"He's been messing around out here every night for the last couple days. I couldn't hold my anger anymore..." the halo complained as another ORB flew by. "Did you hear about the man who got his ribs crushed, and his hand broken?" He asked Taehyung.
"What? When?"
"A little over a week ago... the ORBs caught it on relay. We ruled it out as self-defense. Although it was brutal, even the witch doctor couldn't heal him all the way."
"Why do you guys always go to that guy... he makes it worse more than he does fixing them..." Taehyung rolled his eyes.
"Rules..." the Halo went on about how we must abide by them and look after one another. Sending Taehyung deep into his thoughts.

TAEHYUNG
Hmm... I wonder if it was Jungkook who beat the man. How can they determine his actions?
"Was it the Robot Boy?" I asked. Namjoon looked over at me, his face tired. "He's the reason for most of the attacks... but we have been ordered to...." He stopped his face went slack a white film covering his eyes. Several minutes later his head jerked frowning at me.
"I can't tell you that...."
Of course, he couldn't. I just shrugged pretending I didn't care. But... I cared too damn much.
"Well... I best get home before my dad starts to worry."
Namjoon smiled at me then continued patrolling down the road. One thing I didn't like about Halos. They had no control over the information in their minds. Something took it away before they could give the confidential information. A sad life really, they chose that life though. To serve the current leader of the burrow.

The Court of Souls?
What do we talk about tonight?~“How about a story?”~Fine by me. Which story? Hopefully a good one.~“There was once a lonely child in a world filled with myths, gods and demons. Only power counted there and the weak were worse than cattle. A world where survival of the fittest ruled.”~Was it strong then?~“No, but the child had a power. One that made him stand between light and darkness. Nothing could escape him, so he was shunned by his people.”~ What did he do? Did he fight his fate? Did he hide his power? What was it?~“Oh, he fought. He fought a lot. And no thing could escape his power. It was something that everyone had to live with.”~So he became a hero and changed the world?~»…”~Tell me.~“Nooo, that’s not how the story goes. This isn’t a story of a noble man, doing good amidst a sea of monsters. This is a story of a demon who was… kinder than the rest.”~A kind demon? How boring.~“I think it would be better if I tell the story, so you can judge for yourself.”~So tell the story!

Divine Intervention Online
Vin is an ex-slave who wields sacred knowledge to demand freedom for his people. Seth is a reluctant player stuck in a game that is set to last 200 more years. When their paths converge, even the false gods will take notice. * * * Hello and thank you for giving Divine Intervention Online a chance. This is not my first book (that honor belongs to The Flock by Chris Sauter- available on Amazon). This is hopefully going to become my second book, the first of a planned LITRPG trilogy. This is a labor of love, dedicated to my absolute obsession with the LITRPG genre that has held me in its grasp for over 3 years. There will be dark situations that perhaps only adults should read including: slavery, violence and the results of war. There will be no harems, little profanity, but possibly some triggers for people who don’t like torture, violence, and other dark stuff.

Criminal Lord
Terry Isenburg, the greatest assassin who killed thousands of powerful officials and even led an army of people to reform the world had finally killed his final target after many years of suffering and effort. Changing the world was in sight. Until he was betrayed... Although, even in the abyss of death, two choices were placed before Terry. Enter the Trial or Hell? Watch how the man who nearly took over the world now attempts to take over a world of sword, monster, magic, and one hella strong tarantula... I made this story because I always wanted a dark fantasy isekai with a hella fine backstory rather than an idiot being run over as well as having sustainable, epic scenes with a badass main character. All of which I believe my story has. (Although I'm bad at managing levels and experience and I have little imagery since I hate imagery) One other thing, the first volume may be kinda boring/repetitive but I can guarantee loads of badass action in volume 2 so please stick around. (I would also appreciate the views) If you like or dislike the story, please write a comment or review about this story to help me improve, but please don't hate on the story without explaining why. I also hope that you readers share the story to give me more support. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the story. [The cover is something I made poorly but it represents something in chapter 9-10]
