《Sidequest》Chapter 12

Even Alyss put aside her annoyance to join the others in crowding around Luce expectantly and with weapons raised. Luce slowly pushed the door open and... nothing happened.
Blaze poked her head into the room and glanced around, “I don’t see anything...” she said, pushing past Luce to step into the room, nearly identical to the one they were in.
“Wait up!” Alyss called out, reaching out a hand to grab the back of Blaze’s shirt. She followed on Blaze’s heels into the room as Mom lumbered in after them Luce raised their foot to follow then suddenly stopped and put it down. With a look in their white eyes that was somehow dark, Luce turned quickly, their long white braid brushing Hiro’s nose. They fired an arrow into the dark back corner of the chamber. Instead of striking a creature of Darkness, the arrow revealed a large hole up by the ceiling. A figure in white disappeared into the tunnel. In its place a huge spider crawled out of the tunnel.
The door slammed shut separating Hiro, Alphonse, and Luce from Blaze, Alyss, and Mo. Luce fired another arrow at the spider but the shot missed as the spider dropped from the tunnel to the ground in front of them. The ground shook with the force of its landing. Hiro stumbled, falling back against the door. On the other side he could hear fists pounding and Alyss’s voice calling out, “hey! What the fuck! Why won’t it open!?”
Luce glared up at the tunnel, clicking their tongue in annoyance.
“Look out!” Alphonse shouted, grabbing Hiro’s arm and harshly dragging him to the side out of the way as the spider reared back and spat something at the three of them. As he was being dragged away, Hiro could only shout Luce’s name to try and spur them to move. Finally, at the last second, Luce snapped out of their glare and rolled out of the way of the attack.

Where the three of them had been standing there was a puddle of bubbling dark purple goop. Luce raised their bow and pointed it at the spider, “perhaps I was wrong about the boss room.”

The door slammed shut shortly after Mo stepped into the room. “What did Luce do...” Alyss muttered before she started to bang on the door and shout to the other side.
With her back to Alyss, Blaze looked around the room. It was a perfect mirror of the other chamber only there was a door on the other side rather than a hallway.
Even the hole in the wall by the ceiling was mirrored. And out of that hole crawled a giant spider.

The Lone Prospect
New rules. New girl. New home. Ex-military and werewolf, Gideon Vonrothe is looking for a place to belong. His first and last hope for a pack to call his own is the Heaven’s Heathen’s Motorcycle Club. Being the new prospect isn’t going to be easy. Rebels with a cause, the members of the Heaven’s Heathens motorcycle club regularly risk life and limb to rescue those in need, all to protect their greatest secret, that they’re all werewolves. Now a new member has petitioned to join the pack… The Heaven’s Heathens are supposed to be a big bad motorcycle club, a brethren of tough as nails hard asses. Formed out of necessity after the Cascading War, the Heaven’s Heathens have the reputation of being the toughest sons of bitches in Colorado. Their membership filled with those that have little use for society’s rules and pay lip service to laws outside their own. Insular and hierarchal, a new member can throw off the entire group. And they’re Gideon VonRothe’s last hope for a life that feels familiar or else he’s resigned to go back to the family farm. He doesn’t know anything about the Heathens, or motorcycle clubs. He doesn’t even own a motorcycle. An outsider, ex-military and unsuspecting sucker, Gideon is the latest victim of the Club’s brotherhood appeal. Vice President Savannah Barker knows better. The Club is a bunch of party loving, thrill seeking adrenaline junkies with a nose for mischief. Their idea of playing hard is a good brawl and involves the words trigger happy lunatics. Her Grandfather, Brand, President of the Club is the worst of the lot. It’s the officers’ jobs to keep the rest of the world from find out that they’re more than a group that loves motorcycles and explosions. They’re werewolves. The Club is the pack and the pack is a family with siblings that squabble. Their outlet is Heaven Has Mercy, private security for hire. No wars. No assassinations. Before the new prospect can change the rankings, Brand sends the ignorant Gideon on a rescue mission under the supervision of Savannah and her team. Soon the bets are flying on if Gideon has what it takes and how long this lone prospect is going to last. The routine snag and drag turns complicated when it turns out the client lied, and an attack on their home turf makes some believe that the new Prospect is involved. The Heathen’s have a responsibility to the man they rescued and their reputation is on the line. Is this a new beginning or the beginning of the end for the Heaven’s Heathens?

The Tales of YAP: The Superhero Series
“Listen well, and listen kindly, for my story is a story of contradictions; of the dead becoming alive and the weak becoming strong. Likewise, those nominated as the strong are reduced into the weakest of foes. And lovers, those sweet companions, are nothing but crazed psychopaths. This is the type of story I will tell. The story only I can speak of for it is solely mine. And now, as I recount it to you, thence forth it shall belong to all that hear of it. Listen well, then, for I shall begin.”Sooo, that’s it. The world isn’t what it is. The dead are alive. The weak become strong. And bla bla bla. The normal days of a superhero-in-training, I suppose. I hope you have a bit of patience because my story is a long one, and it starts out in the same old, boring world.My name is Yassi Anne P. Sorento, and this is my story before I became the superhero I am today. (First posted on Webnovel with the same title and under the name, Hua_Li_An.)
