'"70 [Snow Wolf Rune] makes a total of 70 gold coins. Thank you, have a good night"'
'I can see a strange look on the clerk's face. I don't think it has anything to do with the thieves, rather it's his curiosity about how I get so many runes. Runes are rare loot, that someone would come out of nowhere to sell so many of them would surely pique anyone's curiosity.'
'It's good that I already have enough money to buy Alessia, it won't be necessary to sell massively again. I casually moved my hand and moved all the gold coins to the inventory.'
'My only relief is that he must think I'm an advanced adventurer, since a normal person could never control inventory as easily as I do.'
'When I left, I don't know why I wanted to look at the top of the store, but there I see a sign with its name on it. That's very strange, thinking that the stores near the slums don't have names because at any moment they can go bankrupt and then no one will remember them. At least, the previous times I've come here I've never seen that sign.'
'[Golden Rune]'
'Emir: "…"'
'Could it be that the sale of my runes stabilized his business?'
'…It must be my imagination.'
'Shaking my head, I walked towards the alleys. Looking at my map, I can see how dozens of red dots begin to approach the place. They still have a long time to go to the alleys, maybe it's because they didn't expect me to come back just the next day.'
'Thanks to this, I was able to reach an advantageous alley that is interconnected with the most important roads in the place.'
'40, 45, 50… Unexpectedly, there are 65 thieves who entered the alleys. Yesterday, 40 of them blocked my advance while the others blocked my retreat. This means that originally there were 75 thieves yesterday counting the 10 I killed.'
'If they all have a level between 11 and 20 their reward will be 5 silver per head, in other words, 32 gold and 5 silver... Their reward rivals the price of sale of runes!'
'The question is… Will they be as adorable as the Snow Wolves?'
'The map shows a group of 4 thieves heading this way. How lucky, my battle potential is 5 people, compared to it, 4 people will be simple.'

'Through a combination of 6 alleys, I arrived in front of them.'
'"A mask, a cape, and a sword on his waist. Yep that's him"'
'"Hahaha, how lucky!"'
'"Right! If we kill him, we can keep a part of the money!"'
'"Ha! I'll kill him first!"'
'[Hoel] [Thief Lvl11]'
'[Tenir] [Thief Lvl12]'
'[Abel] [Thief Lvl11]'
'[Neir] [Thief Lvl10]'
'Hoel, Abel, and Neir have swords, while Tenir carries two daggers.'
'Neir was the first to arrive and, with a greedy smile on his face, he attacked me in a horizontal line with his sword. I blocked her vertically. Many thoughts came to my mind about my next moves, but something unexpected happened.'
'Neir's sword was cut in two.'
'This took me by surprise, but it only took me a second to react. I swung my sword and a large cut was created on Neir's neck, who fall to the ground dead.'
'"his sword possesses an ability!"'
'"we must increase the power of our attacks, be careful"'
'Since the others stopped as a precaution, I approached them.'
'Abel is the closest man, so I attacked him in a straight line. He jumped to the side to avoid, but he collided with someone, with Hoel.'
'"Hey, move!!"'
'"Don't get in my way-… AHHH!"'
'I attack him, taking advantage of his carelessness, by generating a cut in the position of his heart. Abel falls to the floor screaming, but it is impossible for him to get up again. It's a matter of time before it dies without me doing anything else.'
'Without pause I swing my sword at Hoel's head. He looks at it without being able to react, apparently the fall of his partner induced him to fear me.'
'Only a fraction of a second before Hoel dies, two daggers moved my sword to the millimeter causing it to pass by Hoel's side without damaging him.'
'"Break the stone! This guy is stronger than we think!!"'
'"Y-Yes, right away"'
'Hoel took a red stone from his pocket and threw it on the ground. When it broke, it generated a mighty whistle that echoed through the alleyways.'
'It doesn't take a genius to figure out what an alarm is to attract other thieves.'
'If I take too long to deal with these two guys, then the others will come along and far exceed my battle potential.'
'I must kill them before reinforcements arrive!'

'I continuously swing my sword in a 4-slash style, diagonal, vertical, diagonal and horizontal. Tenir barely manages to avoid each of them, getting heavily damaged in the process. To the point that, in my next move, I cut off his left arm.'
'"AHHH-…" When Tenir shouted, I swung my sword and cut his neck.'
'I can feel the air hissing at my back. I quickly jumped to the right and, the next second, I see a sword pass through my previous position.'
'Applying force to my right foot, I stop my jump and advance towards Hoel. He is so helpless that I effortlessly cut his waist. He fell to the floor unconscious.'
'Not only him, but I give the final blow to everyone who didn't have died immediately '
'The light particles illuminated the corridor for a few seconds.'
'"A group of 5 thieves is approaching"'
'According to the map, they will arrive in about 2 more minutes. It's good that I defeated this group early, otherwise it would be hard for me to fight so many at the same time.'
'Controlling the inventory, I take in it all the belongings of the thieves including their remnants in order to clear the ground for the next battle.'
'[Bert] [Thief Lvl12]'
'[Jon] [Thief Lvl11]'
'[Bryan] [Thief Lvl13]'
'[Rich] [Thief Lvl11]'
'[Alan] [Thief Lvl11]'
'Without even a conversation, I make the first attack.'
'***'
'"Well it's time to go"'
'I killed 18 thieves in total spread over four groups. I feel my blood boil to continue fighting, as if my strength is limitless…'
'I came to my senses when I realized that the fifth group contains 6 people, and not only that, they already realized that something strange is happening and alerted the others. In other words, I'll only have about 4 minutes to kill them before the sixth group arrives. An impossible task. It’s better to retire now.'
'I put all the items scattered on the ground in my inventory, and escaped from there.'
'Minutes later, I'm walking down a street. No matter how late at night, there will always be dozens of people on the main and surrounding streets. This is what a capital is, it has life 24 hours a day.'
'"70 [Snow Fur] makes a total of 14 gold coins. Have a good night"'
'In today's sale, I got a total of 84 gold coins… The way I look at it, I feel like it's an unreasonable amount for just an adventurer. Even a group of advanced adventurers don't earn as much as me.'
'Especially, because of the number next to the gold coins in my inventory.'
'[Gold Coins] [182]'
'182 gold coins… As expected from the gold labyrinth. The monsters are so cute that they drop gold when they die.'
'After making the sales, I go back to my hotel room.'
'Uh uh, I can't sleep.'
'I can't sleep, I am just thinking about the things I'm going to do to Alessia.'
'Unlike the gallant clone, I'm a pervert.'
'What will Alessia do when she finds out I'm a bad master?'
'Well, she's a masochist.'
'I'm sure she'll be happy that I'm a bad master.'
'***'
'The next day.'
'With the Vip card, everything is easier by speaking to the doorman and requesting a meeting with Leo. All questions were answered when I showed my client card. Previously, I always had to say the reason for my visit, so, the current treatment is not bad at all.'
'"Mr. Emir, a pleasure… If you asked for my presence, that means you already have the money to buy Alessia, or am I wrong?"'
'"yes, I already have the money"'
'With the movement of my hand, exactly 120 gold coins appeared on the table. At this, Leo nodded and began to count. Seconds later, his count ended.'
'"I have verified the money below, please follow me. Alessia is already waiting for you"'
'Is she waiting for me? As expected of Leo.'
'Thanks to the handsome clone, I now remember that book on the slave system. In which appears the steps to follow to carry out a contract successfully. At the same time as the story behind the birth of this system.'
'In the past, someone was born with the ability to create slaves. When this fact became known to the world, immediately the person was captured by the society, and they performed endless experiments in order to transform a unique ability into a spell that can be used by everyone.'
'This gives me the creeps. If my user interface was known, would they do something similar to me?'

The Legend of the Fake Hero
*I don't own the cover image**This has the Tragedy Tag; please no genre hate. Bad things can happen to good people, just like in real life (not that they will. I almost didn't put the tag there as it doesn't really fit the genre. I like happy endings.).The year is 201X, and the line between reality and the imaginary has become blurred. Approximately nine months ago, the event which became known as "The Convergence" occurred. People on Earth began to obtain powers. Some received them for seemingly no reason while others had obtained them after they had returned from the many different worlds that they had unwillingly been abducted to. These new worlds existed beyond time and space, and many could have different rules different from what we know as standard reality. That is because these many worlds seem to have traits taken from imagination. Things from stories and myths, like magic and plots, existed in these worlds as if they were inspired by them, and that was only a start.On earth, there was a young man. On appearance, he could be considered only slightly better-than-average. The only thing he was known for was his incredible mind that left him feeling bored and out of touch with reality. But soon he would leave this reality altogether. One moment he was lying in his bed. The next, he was face-to-face with a beautiful young lady who he had just woken up upon him falling into her bed. This young man has an incredible fate and will soon visit many worlds, gain many powers, and meet many women who, like the young girl whose bed he had fallen into, will blow him away.Upload Schedule (Updated 3/28/2021)Upload one chapter every-other-weekend PST (with rare exception, typically due to length).Breaking Fate/Origin Arc (Done) Albion Arc: Vol 1 - Origin, Vol 2 - Rise of the Red Dragon (Done) New Earth Arc: Vol 3 - New Earth (Done) Dealing with the Past Arc: Vol 4 - Ghosts of the Past, Vol 5 - The Dracul Descends, Vol 6 - War of FateBound Fate Arc Fake Hero Arc Vol 7 - Martel Side Stories #1 Shield Hero Arc Vol 8 - Second Chance Vol 9 - The Adventure Begins (Current) Vol 10 - First Quest Vol 11 - TBD (Writing [37%]) (Multiple Future Volumes TBD)Currently ONLY posting on Scribble Hub, Royal Road, and Wattpad (Same user name)If you find my work on other sites please let me know!

The Inheritor
Alistair strolled through darkness shunning himself from light, he was plunged into the depths of hell by the greed of his own family. He crawled from those depths leaving trails of blood, craving for vengeance and toiling like a crazy wounded wolf. After years of struggle he stands at the peak, a peak no one could touch, a peak where he could disdain anyone. Alistair had long got his revenge and quenched his burning fire with blood of those wronged him. The man who was supposed to have achieved everything one could possibly attain in a lifetime was actually left with nothing but felt utter isolation and icy solitude before his inevitable end, the death. ***** Alistair was given another chance, reincarnation, with a system and the inheritance of the entire universe. He’s determined to lead an entirely different life, a life in which he truly pursues happiness with lots of friends, lovers and a lovable family. Will he get over his past and really turn a new leaf??? Will a place where law of jungle has long seeped into the society allow him lead a pleasant life without any carnage or bloodshed?????? ------------- Warning: About Story The Inheritor will be your standard reincarnation fantasy in a futuristic setup with cultivation being a mainstream occupation. Though it's a standard novel with Reincarnation and Cultivation 'The Inheritor' is not a HAREM and it'll have Romance. The action might take the back seat in the first part of the book. About the Author This is my first novel or any attempt to write something so I'm pretty much a newbie trying to pen down the fantasies rolling in my mind. English isn't my First language so brace yourself for some grammatic potholes. But I'm genuinely working on improving my English but it won't be happening overnight as it's a process, I guess. (for the time being, I'm trying to make it readable with some Grammar checking software) Moreover, I wish to improve my writing skills as the story grows and readers help in spotting mistakes or critics might turn it into a reality.

Hush | on hold
"Your name?"When I stayed silent, he repeated himself. "Your name?""Jeyri." I let out quietly."And last name?""Rae...""Jeyri Rae..." He crouched down next to me and moved the hair from in front of my face, "I dislike when things get difficult, I end up doing things I'd much rather not do. Do you want to know what happened to the last person who made things difficult for me, hmm?" He asked, leaning into me. Is he talking about me calling the cops? He pressed his gun against my head and frowned, "You get it don't you?"I nodded quickly. "Good... And if you tell anyone what you saw today, I'll know." He pressed his finger against my lips and smiled, "So hush."
