《The Roseguard's Odyssey: The tale of the hunted》Chapter 72 - Chimera Trading Company - Part 4

"Where is our backup!" Suvorian roared, "Someone message Treese and tell him to send more men here now!"
All of them suddenly felt a large explosion coming from the outside. All the doctors and nurses panicked as they looked out the window to see a masked assailant annihilate three full companies of guards and a fully armored convoy. "Where did that thing come from?"
"The guards said it came out of the chemical vats."
"Which one?" Suvorian approached the nurse who spoke. "Which one?!"
"From the venom vats, Doctor."
"Captain Brody, tell your men to get the chemical tranquillizer guns and fill them with suppressor sedatives in the next room! Sonny, connect the fire suppressant systems to the sedative tank! The water will make it less potent, but it should saturate the area and affect the attacker long enough for the captain to take it down!"
Everyone did as they were told and once the scientists finished connecting the tank, they turned on the fire system, and the whole interior of the compound was drenched with the sedative. The guards set up another firing line inside and prepared an ambush against the attacker.
Aysha ran inside and passed by them all as she told the guards the attacker was coming. They ushered her upstairs to where the rest of the scientists were, then turned off the lights and waited in darkness. When the masked killer came in, the sedative was still pouring out of the sprinklers, and slowly it started to take effect. The attacker’s skin, which was bright red, began to cool down, and Captain Brody fired his tranquillizer dart straight at it.
He was surprised when the dart landed on the attacker’s skin and let out a loud scream of pain.

"It’s vulnerable! Pour it on him!"
Every single one of them fired and landed darts all over the attacker. The darts stood on its skin like quills as it roared and screamed in pain. It started to work, but not fast enough, as it still had the energy to rip them apart and kill every single guard in the room.
Brody fired five more darts straight into the attacker’s chest and arms, but it still managed to get close to him, grab him by the neck and crack his windpipe, killing him. It roared in anger when it finished killing every single guard on the lower floor.

Suvorian and the nurses heard a loud roar coming from the floor below them. There were forty people in the room, and ten of them were guards armed with the chemical guns as well. They barricaded the door once Aysha ran in and set up their last defensive line behind it.
"Something is wrong." Suvorian said. "I can’t hear anything."
Suddenly, the door was rammed, causing the barricade to buckle. The scientists huddled as the guards tightened their grip on their guns. It was rammed repeatedly while the scientists tried to find another exit off the second floor but found that they were trapped. One tried to jump off the building, but it was too high and he only killed himself as he fell.
The door burst open, and the masked murderer came in. The attacker was covered in darts and charged at the guards who held their ground. It started to slow down as the effects of the sedative finally kicked in, and the guards noticed this as well. They repeatedly fired more darts into the attacker, which finally seemed to stop it in its tracks.

Elizabeth was still bound to the steel bed. She watched as all the doctors and nurses panicked around her as they barricaded the door. It was rammed from the outside, and when it finally broke open, she saw it.

Elizabeth will never forget the masked murderer that killed Jasper and Kinney.
She remembered the mask that was shaped like a human skull with sharp fangs instead of teeth and eyes that were darker than coal, with its head crowned with two horns. It was the one who killed Jasper and Kinney, and now it is here to kill her.
The child screamed with all the strength she had.

Luna almost regained her senses. Her body was incredibly stiff and even walking alone burned her mind and muscles. The moment she rammed through the door, all her senses painfully surged into her. When she saw Elizabeth in the middle of the room, surrounded by doctors and nurses wearing Chimera emblems, and attached to a fiendish looking machine, her nightmare and her past flashed in her eyes, and Luna lost control.
She charged blindly and mortally struck down everyone around her. In her eyes, all she saw was blinding crimson and white. The doctors and nurses pleaded for their lives, but Luna showed no mercy. Raw anger and maddening hatred blinded her as she violently killed every single person she could get her hands on.
=0o0=
Aysha quickly freed Elizabeth from her restraints while the attacker was distracted.
"Hurry this way!"
The exit was blocked when the attacker threw a large device in front of it. All Aysha could do was hide Elizabeth in a corner behind some crates which only the child could fit through. Aysha managed to conceal the child before a metal spike came out of the nurse’s chest. She was impaled at the back and was thrown by the masked assailant across the room like a ragdoll. The masked killer continued its rampage and executed every single person as violently as it could. It threw one doctor across the room and straight at the crates where Elizabeth was hiding.
=0o0=
By the end of her slaughter, the room was covered in death. The gamey smell of blood flooded the room. The walls were coated with crimson, pulpy masses of organs on every surface. Luna heard a noise coming from a metal locker. She violently pushed it down, and Suvorian was thrown out of it.

Rupegia
"You may now kiss the bride." But no kiss ever came. I'm ripped from my wedding and thrown into a medieval fantasy world with game-like elements. It may seem like a game, but that doesn't matter to me, because this is my reality. The pain, the hunger, the cold, the fear, it's all real to me. Alone, without knowing why I'm here, in a world where I know nothing and nobody, I decide to buy a Blood Slave to have someone I can trust. She brings me comfort and so much more. She helps me raise my head high again and bravely move forward. Together, we'll grow stronger. Together, we're unbreakable. But she won't be the only one by my side. We need more than just each other, for I know that my purpose in this world can't be accomplished with only her help. Monsters and dungeons plague the land, forcing civilization to protect themselves from the hordes with tall walls and fierce determination. Killing monsters is a daily need, but they aren't the only enemy here. I have a powerful "Gift" that allows me to change my "skill points" at will, but if others were to know about it, there would be many that would try to use me by any means possible. Step by step, moment by moment, day by day, we keep moving forward, always aiming to improve our strength. One day, we'll meet our Fate, and we'll be ready for it. Swords held high, shields tightly strapped to our arms, wings spread apart, spells at the tip of our tongues, minds focused like blades, and our hearts hardened like steel. We'll take on whatever comes our way! --------------------------------------------- New chapters Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8PM US East. At least 3k words each. Additional Tags: Psychological, Romance, Magic, Male Lead, Portal Fantasy/Isekai/Transmigration, Polygamy, Slaves Content Warning: gore, profanity, sexual content (most of it has been censored) (male/female, female/female, and human/non-human(not for the faint of heart)), traumatizing content What to expect: Slow story focused on the day-to-day life of a transmigrated man rather than on the plot. The plot exists but it very slowly becomes relevant. Also, slow character progress. It's a long journey, so don't expect a hero to grow in just a few chapters. Detailed environments and extensive world-building. Realistic and tactical combat instead of flashy. Protagonist with a cheat but far from overpowered. Lots of descriptive sex scenes (though most got censored here). It's treated as just another part of life instead of merely fan-service. A harem where the members actually enjoy living with each other. Occasional weird wording and grammar, English isn't my first language. Currently uploading on: Royal Road (most sexual content censored), Scribble Hub, Novel Updates Forum, Wattpad, Hentai Foundry, Webnovel, MoonQuill, Nobles, Archive of Our Own, and Literotica.

Heroes Die First
It was after World War Two ended; rumors spread of people wielding amazing powers or mutating into horrifying monsters. Seventy years later, heroes and villains dominate the news and battle in the streets, discrimination drives mutants into the criminal lifestyle, and the governments of the world are struggling to handle the rapidly shifting paradigm. Maxmillian Grants, like any sixteen year old boy, wants to be a hero and he has a secret: he has the power to do it! Except, when he actually looks into the risks and the rewards he discovers that being a hero is not really worth it. Being a villain, on the other hand, certainly pays well. If you don't mind risking being sent to prison and being hunted by heroes and other villains. Max, not being an idiot, does mind both of those things. Instead of being a hero or being a villain, Max decides to take the third option, to be a vigilante! His plan? To hit the criminals in the gut and run off with their money, making the world a bit brighter at the same time by taking down the bad guys. But how long can he actually manage alone? Can he really navigate through the dangerous world of supers and capes without declaring for either heroes or villains? Or will he be sucked into the web of plots and drama that is the life of those with superpowers? (Cover photo by Sebastiaan Stam, downloaded from Unsplash)

Challenged Dungeon and the Arrival of Mana
One day, a few spirits drifting through the astral plane discover Earth and decide to create dungeons to bridge the gap between worlds, and eventually make themselves the gods of Earth. After being created, Three has the misfortune of falling through a grate in an alley in New York City and making that its entrance. Suddenly propelled to sizes much larger than an infant dungeon should be it becomes the frontrunner of all its sibling dungeons, yet faces problems initially attracting creatures. Three's problems only worsen over time as its demanding and seemingly capricious creator gradually strips away its ability to be a true dungeon while compelling it to reach a nearly impossible goal: conquer all humans. Also follow Stan, the alcholic veteran cop and his pet cat Ms. Winters as they get embroiled into the arrival of dungeons and mana. I have most of the story mapped out, but it can still use some work, my goal is to release at least a chapter a week until I am finished. I would greatly appreciate any help proofreading or editing, and advice is always appreciated. UPDATE School caught up with me back then and I lost the thread, so this is now (definitely) dropped, sorry all, maybe I'll get back to it one day.
