《The Criminals》Working for a gang
Advertisement
After a few hours, inside a warehouse, there are two people there. One of them sits on a comfortable chair, while the other, who is still asleep is tied up in a wooden chair and is still unconscious. The man who is waiting for Alex to wake up is a gangster who is dressed in yellow clothes with a green bandana, he got a few tattoos on his arms and he wears a pair of aviator glasses, even though is outside is night time.
After a few minutes, the gangster decides to wake up the boy who found out their secret, so he calls one of his gangsters and tells them to bring a bucket of water, to which he immediately goes somewhere in the back to fill a bucket with water from the sink. That street gangster returns in a few moments with the bucket of water, which is almost full. The boss tells him to throw water at that boy to get him up, but by signs, the gangster nods that he understood the message and throws water at that pizza delivery man, who when the water hit him woke up instantly coughing because he swallowed some water and trying to untie himself as soon as he realizes that he is tied to his hands and feet.
"WH-What the hell is going on?!" says Alex feeling scared and lost like a baby in a supermarket.
"Good morning, boy!" says the Boss of those gangsters with a nice voice and a kind one who could not foul not even an old man that he is a gangster. "You know why are you here?"
"I-I am sorry! I am sorry for delivering those pizzas at the wrong house," says Alex thinking that was the actual problem, but it wasn't.

"No. You delivered at the right house... You are here because you had noticed something about the money we gave you." says the boss gangster looking at the eyes of Alex. "Now tell me, kid, how do you notice the money was fake? Did you work for the police? Are you an FBI agent? Or... You were an ex-gangster?"
"Wh-Wh-What do y-you want fr-from me?"
"What do we want? We wanted to know answers, alright. If you are not going to respond... " the gangster took a pistol from his pocket and he is aiming at Alex's head. "The brains will fall like a girl when she sees the money."
The gangster gets up from his chair, he came closer to Alex to see his hopeless look and his fearing face. The gangster was about to use the pistol, but Alex says to him what he wanted to hear.
"I-I am not working for anyone! I-I was a drug addict a few months ago and I know this trick of counterfeit money! The gangsters we're trying to use counterfeit as paying, which is not always a good idea when it comes to using other things like selling into a bank or to fool a beginner into drugs."
"Nice. I see we got some advanced man here." says the gangster boss feeling impress by Alex's answer. "You know some things about counterfeit money, but you do not know everything... Right now I would've shot you, but you seem a good guy so I'll give you two options."
The gangster boss says to the other guy, by mimicking, bringing him something, to which that gangster goes to get that thing his boss needs. While that gangster was leaving, the boss sat back in his chair and asked Alex what option he would choose.

"Option consists about you leaving, but if you chose that option, we will immediately kill you and we will throw your body into the ocean, as we did with other people who have seen our tricks... But the second option, is more likely good, and you know why? It lets you live... The second one, in short, are you working for us. If you are going to do a good job, we will let you and your cousin live."
"Cousin? What-"
When Alex was about to say that, the gangster, which he had been sent by his boss, arrives in that room with Alex's cousin, who is tied up and has a black bag on his face. That gangster holds Chris very tightly and tightly to keep him from escaping, even though this man is barely struggling to get out of the grip of a gangster who isn't as strong as the one who put Alex to the ground. Alex was about to freak out, but the gangster boss is looking at him with a happy and evil face, and he asks him what is the option he will choose.
"Alright..." says Alex after a few seconds. "I will work for you in whatever your business is about. But, can you leave my cousin alone, please! "
"Are you a familist type? Lucky for you. I am also one." says the Boss gangster looking at Alex, and after that, he talked with his gangster: "Frank! Throw him at his business!"
"Alright, boss!" says the guy named Frank who is just pushing Alex's cousin out of this building into his car.
When those two has left the building, the boss and Alex were looking at each other. The boss gets up from his chair and he unties Alex, after that he says to him to not do any wrong move or a trying to escape or a karate move, otherwise, his cousin's car will be in the ocean with his body. Alex did do anything when he got untied, and the boss appreciated his gesture and he tells him what he has to do.
"I want you to go with Frank and stole some cars from the Docks. The ship from Spain has come, and he is carrying a lot of vehicles. Now, the sources told me the containers are guarded by guards, so you have two options in dealing with those guards, one is to kill them, and the second is to knock them out. The choice is yours, we want cars and that's it. But, it would be better not to attract attention, so the first option is recommended."
"Well... I guess the second option sounds nice" says Alex to the boss.
"Oh, I see... Well then, the choices of how are you going to deal with them are yours. Anyway, if you wanted to have something to knock them out, take this." says the Boss gangster handed Alex a pistol tranquillizer and a box of tranquillizer injection which contains twenty-four such syringes that could put even a bear to sleep. Alex takes those and he leaves the building being guided by the boss until he exits the building.

Seriously!DA:https://www.deviantart.com/shadowsinking Twitter:https://twitter.com/shadowsinking?lang=en This story currently has a biweekly schedule (may shift to weekly). Sometimes, I am able to get out earlier chapters. Note: This story is not a typical fanfiction. It is mainly an authentic work. This story only uses monster names/appearances, names of locations and the orb-matching strategy combat system from the app game on android/ios. The rest is original, which means prior knowledge for readers is not required. The app game has no plot, and this work also has no relation whatsoever to the anime aired starting in 2016. The goal was to create a story using these monsters, giving them personalities and purposes beyond just images and stats.

8 144Medley of Fates Worse than Death
Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)
