《Honest Way of Living》Legion
Advertisement
Asfa decided to stay for a while and see the authority's action in solving this situation. He spent some time extending his scanning ability range to see how far can it go. His scanning ability now can reach 900 metres since he could reach the bottom floor.
Asfa took his phone out to find anything related to the hotel's security. He got shocked because the hotel got an almost 100% rate of managing situations like this. There were countless past articles that mentioned how the hotel always managed to win against the bad guys.
Suddenly, he received a message from the old man.
"I remembered that you are now at the Blue Diamond Hotel. Don't do something stupid. Let the authority handle everything. I will answer your question tomorrow. Stay safe, kid."
The authority is still negotiating with the villain's leader, but Asfa can see above a group of armed people sneak quietly into the hotel from the upper floor. From his observation, the armed group were not ordinary since there were traces of mana on their bodies.
"Stop wasting your time negotiating. This will be the day this building fall. Give us want we want in an hour, or else we die together!"
Surprisingly, the authority didn't falter at all at the threat.
"Captain, we are already inside. We secured the perimeter, and there were no bad guys there."
Bryan is the leader of the special squad specialising in fighting against terrorists. He has done this for almost a decade without failing even once. But this time, he got anxious a little bit since the villains didn't demand anything meaningful. They are prepared to throw their lives to kill everyone inside the hotel.
He commanded them to start the operation since the villains might start killing or bombing the hotel.
Legion is a special forces unit trained and made by the military to conduct special operations. Due to some circumstances, only 6 of them are available for this operation, but Bryan has to be one outside to oversee and observe the situation.

Only Sword, Shield, Bow, Dagger and Spear are free for this operation. Shield has to lead them inside since he is the oldest member of the Legion, even older than Bryan. Due to his reserved attitude, he lets Bryan be the Captain of the Legion.
"Boss Shield, are we good to go now". Four of them are looking at Shield to see if they can start hunting the villains.
There were armed with the same military uniform, but everyone had their own weapon and helmet. Shield carries a giant white coloured shield on his back while the others have their own weapons according to their name.
Shield talked with his communication device for confirmation, and then he told the others to equip themself.
"We got an hour to subdue them, remember to do it quietly and make sure to not hurt the innocent people here. This is an order!"
They start moving once the building starts losing electricity to make it harder from being detected during the operation.
They started to move when the electricity shut down. Shield would be handling the defence. Hence he would always be in front of the others to protect them. Sword, Dagger and Spear would do the offensive matters while Bow would be on standby to hit from behind.
Asfa has been observing them from above. He wanted to learn how these people fight against them while being outnumbered. In reality, he would try his best to assist them with his ability so that he could leave this place as soon as possible.
With the intel of the hotel's cameras, the Legion moved down the floors smoothly. There were also drones outside the building hovering around to monitor the movement of the villains.
Upon reaching the 23rd floor, the Legion will be facing 6 armed villains with heavy rifles. Surprisingly, they put themself into a formation before rushing out of the stairs to confront the villains. The villains shot with their rifles, but they were blocked by a giant shield covering the Legion from in front.

Shield slams the first terrorist with his giant shield while the others slaughter the remaining terrorists with their respective weapons.
"It was over in less than 10 seconds! They all know how to use mana to boost their speed and finish it in a single strike." Asfa was impressed by how the Legion struck. It was swift and flawless.
The Legion moved quickly to the next floor and used the same tactic to deal with the 7 terrorists there. Since they were outnumbered, Sword and Spear took 2 people simultaneously, and they did it effortlessly. He then realised that the drones outside must have blocked the terrorists from communicating with each other.
Half an hour later, the Legion was only a floor away from the bottommost floor. For some reason, 'Shield' told them to stop. 23 terrorists were waiting for them down there and they were fully armed with rifles, RPG launchers and heavy machine guns. Their leader suddenly roared something with the haler.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, do you guys think we would submit that easily? As someone chosen by the Shadow King, it is our destiny to die here." He smashed the haler on the ground and started to chant something in a weird language.
While their leader was still chanting, the Legion barged in from the emergency exit. They scattered around to deal with every terorists there.
"Sword! You deal with the one with rifles. Bow, get the one with RPG launcher, and the you two follow my lead." Shield rushed himself to stop the leader from finishing his chant.
Sword pours his mana into his weapon and disappear.
[Flash Steps]
He then appears behind one of the terrorists. Everyone with the rifles there stopped moving then their heads fell to ground.
'Bow' pulled out her bow without equipped it with arrows. Arrows of mana starts condensing from the bow she held. She then released the red coloured arrows.
[Meteor Arrows]
The arrows released then hit the one with RPG launcher. Some of the terrorist hid behind the stone pillar there, but those arrows simply bended and hit the target. Anyone who got hit by the arrows exploded.
Shield is now in front of their leader and his bodyguards. Those bodyguards shoot at them, but 'Shield' blocks them with his shield. 'Spear' and 'Dagger' immediately use [Flash Steps] to take down those bodyguards.
'Shield' then throws his shield toward the terrorist's leader to stop him from completing his spell.
Just before the shield hits the terrorist's leader, he falls to the floor.
Asfa's expression changed immediately. The moment the spell casted, he saw dark green coloured mana released from terrorist's remains.
"We need to get out now. It is the forbidden skill, [Corpse Explosion]. Run!"
'Shield' commanded them to run away from the building.
The Legion left the building as if nothing had happened there.
Asfa realised that the authority failed so badly this time. The other customers do not know what just happened since the lights were still down.
"Should I run away too.. But how.. The drones are still out there watching.."
He could go down by jumping through the balconies. But, he would be caught immediately since no one else ran except him.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

Soul Core Online
Soul Core Online was a game that few people were interested in until after it was released, due to its odd way of handling character growth but this soon changed as people started to realise just how different this game was. Unlike many of its predecessors the NPCs in Soul Core Online acted in a way that was indistinguishable from real people and the world felt alive because of this instead of the empty and sterile cities we had come to expect, even walking down the street could give you insights to how these people lived. In my case this was the world that I had always wanted to visit and I soon found myself embroiled in the constantly changing world that is Soul Core Online.
