《Necro-Merchant》Chapter one - Cousin Help
Advertisement
There were yin and yang in the world. Some people do business for living people, and some people do business for dead people.
What I do is business for dead people, but not coffins or shrouds.
It's something much eerier that you've never heard before ...
My name is Lin Xuan, from Qilu, Ande, the place where there is a lot of grilled chicken.
When I was in high school, I beat up the mayor's son in the school and was dissuaded by the school administration to leave.
Without education, I couldn't found a job. I followed my dad and farm at home in the countryside for two years; just after harvesting wheat that year, my dad became ill unexpectedly. The ambulance pulled him to the hospital for a check and the doctors said it was diabetes.
During this hospitalization, our not so wealthy family spent most of our saving. The doctor said that my father could not do heavy work in the future, and he had to inject insulin two or three times a day.
The cheapest domestic insulin costs six hundred yuan a month.
My mom said to me: "Son, I will do the farm work at home, you go to work in the city."
I had grown up and should stop living off my parents, and so I left for the city. When I thought about part-time work, the first thing I remembered was my cousin.
My cousin, Zhang Long, was the only son of my uncle who had passed away. He was ten years older than me.
In our village, my cousin's reputation was excellent. After his father passed away, he went to work in the city. He returned to the village three years ago to visit relatives. He wore a grey suit and bright leather shoes. The villager's eyes were filled with envy, and they all said that the cousin was raised well.

Mom called my cousin and asked if I could go to work for him.
The cousin happily agreed: "He is my cousin, just come!"
And so, I sat on the 26th bus, bumped for an hour and a half, and came to the urban area from the village.
This was the first time I came to the downtown of Ande, I stared at the large and high-rise building with more than 30 floors, stunned.
I was thinking in my head at that time: how can houses be built so high? I won't live that high up even if I could, I have acrophobia and will be scared definitely.
When my cousin came to pick me up, he was in his new Mercedes. I looked at the mud on the soles of my shoes and dared not to go in.
My cousin patted me with his hand, which wore a big gold ring: "Cousin, what are you doing, get in the car!"
Entering the big Mercedes-Benz, I didn't know where to put my feet, and I didn't dare to lean back, I was afraid I'll dirty the car.
I secretly observed that my cousin was driving. The flower-patterned shirt he wore was lovely, and there was a four-leaf clover (Chinese copycat of Adidas) on the cuff. I heard from a classmate when I was in school that the brand was pretty expensive, almost two thousand yuan for each shirt.
I was jealous to death, my entire attire wasn't even a hundred. When can I wear something expensive like that?
On the way, I entreated my cousin: "Cousin, what am I going to do with you in the future?"
"Today is your welcome day, no business discussions today!"
My cousin took me to a big hotel. The decoration within was grand and beautiful, like palaces in those TV series.

Just the two of us, we were served seven dishes and one soup, with a box of beer. I looked at the chickens, ducks, and fish meat on the table, afraid to pick up my chopstick.
"Cousin, you are hungry, right? Eat!"
When I woke up, I was lying on a soft bed, which was much more comfortable than my family's stone oven that I used to sleep on. I was awakened by my urination and remembered faintly that my cousin kept pouring my wine during the feast. It was my first time drinking, and I fainted after just a few shots, and then I couldn't remember anything after.
I got up and found the toilet in the dark, hurriedly to pee, shook it twice, put the stick back into my pants, and was ready to go back to sleep.
Walking up to the bedroom, I was ready to open the door, and then I heard a sound in the neighbouring room. I leaned on the wall and listened carefully: it was a woman's soft moan.
The sound was similar to the ones I saw in "videos," but it was more charming and attractive.
My cousin's girlfriend? But my mom never told me cousin had a girlfriend.
A kid from a small village like me, someone who hasn't even held a girl's hand before, after just listening to a few moan, my cheeks and ears immediately turned red and hot, so was my "stick."
After listening for a little longer, I couldn't stand it and had to go back to my room. What I wasn't expecting was how garbage the "soundproof" walls were, as the soft and seductive moaning were still very clear.
Finally, after who knows how long, the moaning stopped. I was ready to go to the restroom and wash my face to clear my head, and when I opened the door, I just saw a pair of smooth and long legs.
I swallowed subconsciously and looked away. I swear, standing in front of me, is the best woman I have ever seen in my life.
My cousin's girlfriend, only wore a lace pantie, as she tries to cover her chest with her arms, although it ends up just making the cleavage more charming.

Slave 53: The Phoenix
Azgarth is a violent Warlord from a planet where everyone feared him, a man that never lost a battle whether it be from his enemies surrendering or dying. After entering a wormhole, this once infamous man had his memory completely wiped. He was enslaved under the name 53. The great comet arrived one day and gave 53 an extremely rare animal aspect, the Phoenix. Having a rare animal aspect puts people on the fast track to power in this world. Will 53 show the same brutality as his former self? Author: So there will probably be a lot of changes when I start hashing out the whole classes and what not. I'm not planning on this to have statuses or anything like that, but when people 'lvl up' is probably going to be something like ascending 1, 2, 3, etc. With each ascension they are many times stronger, for example, someone who hasn't ascend at all would be at 0, but someone with a 1 would be about 5x stronger than someone who is 0 and so on. It would take a long time to reach each one. With the red colored marks which represents fire, I have a couple ideas with what I want to do, in a way a battle royale, as this continent they are on isn't very large, but all four elements are on it (or more, I might add light, dark, and some others) but all the humans have red, while a different alien race has blue (water), brown (earth), and grey (Air). The color of the mark they have influences how they feel about each other, a example of that would be if a red saw a brown, then they would naturally feel a disgust about each other, and if they killed someone from a different color they would gain way more life essence which is needed to ascend than they would killing someone from their same color. The last thing, I'm not too sure about the main character yet, as I like the whole idea of a memory wipe, I almost think it'd be more entertaining to have the guy slowly regain all his memory, then just becoming his normal self again. If that's the case I'll have to change the title of book. The original idea was this guy would keep the name 53, and his prior self named Azgarth is sharing his body, as in he can talk to him and give him advice on things since he doesn't want him to die since he is sorta like a split personality sharing the same body. Looking at it now, idk if I want this guy to be named 53 forever. Warning: A lot of dark content in the book, especially in the flashbacks.

Devil's Basement: Colony Ragnarok
Far beneath the surface of a planet wrapped in a toxic atmosphere, competing political ideologies stare each other down over a heavily militarised line that cuts through the city on their border. Among the dark rail tunnels and mine shafts are an unfinished treaty up for negotiation; a fanatical terrorist group with questionable backers; and ordinary people caught in the middle. In this claustrophobic environment, those who desire peace must act quickly or these tunnels will collapse in the fires of war. _____ This story is based on a role-playing map game I GM'd awhile ago. The four main characters are based on the four players from that map game, and the general sequence of events follows the game as well. Cover art: inncect (formerly astrxphoria) from wattpad.com, where this story was first published.
