《Phantom Year one》Knives and Bullets
Advertisement
*bang*a gunshot was heard leaving a bloody gaping hole in the middle of Maxwell’s head before h dropped dead on the ground. Naa dropped behind the desk pulling out her gun as Maxwell’s guards rushed in the study.
Outside the building Hank had just arrived in costume when he heard the gunshot and saw a flash of light from a building not far away, ignoring the residence where Naa was he rushed to the origin of the flash. Vaulting over all obstacles in his path before firing his grappling hook and throwing himself into the building smashing through a window and surprising the reaper within who had a black face mask on just as he closed a case.
They both shared a look for a moment before the reaper pulled out a hand gun from behind and began to fire at Hank who narrowly avoided being shot. The sound of gunshots had alerted Naa who was still with the body of Max alongside the guards looking towards the source she picked up her phone calling for back up as she rushed over.
In the building, Hank was now hiding behind a pillar as the reaper kept on firing till he eventually run out of bullets. Hank who was behind the pillar heard the click sound which signaled the reaper had run out of bullets, he pulled out his throwing knife firing it straight at the reapers arm disarming him as he rushed him with a punch aimed at his head.
The reaper was quick to react moving to the side avoiding the strike and using his case as a weapon smashing it towards Hank who brought his hands forward to block the strike but was still sent flying as his back made contact with the pillar leaving a crack on the pillar before dropping face first.

The reaper tilted his heading watching Hank who hadn’t moved in the slightest before turning away, but as he was about to leave, he let out a grunt and as he looked down, he saw a knife sticking out of his leg. Turning to look behind him Hank had made it back to his feet and was watching him. He pulled out the knife tossing it away and grabbing another hand gun and began firing at Hank who avoided the bullets running around the pillars using them as cover to get close to the reaper engaging him in hand-to-hand combat.
They began exchanging blows in a rapid manner and soon the case was sent flying out of the reaper’s hands right before Hank followed it up with a roundhouse kick sending the reaper tumbling down. Hank moved to deliver another blow but the reaper rolled away just in time to avoid it before sweeping Hank of his feet and causing his back to make contact with the floor creating a minor cloud of dust.
With both of them on the ground the battle didn’t calm down in the least but rather picked up in intensity, they began rolling atop one another alternating as they delivering punches to one another this continued unto Hank managed to put a knife through the reapers arm causing him to let out a blood curling scream and get off of Hank.
Hank got to his feet first soon followed by the reaper but before they could continue their battle there was a gunshot separating them; Naa had arrived with her gun not sure as to whom to aim at as she saw the vigilante she had been chasing after, as well a man who she was almost certain was responsible for two assassinations.
There was a stare down between the tree of them only broken as the faint sounds of sirens could be heard and hearing that the reaper wasted no time jumping out a window before Naa could react. She quickly turned to aim at the vigilante only to find out he was gone like a ghost.

Looking around the remains of the battle was still there, various bullet holes as well as two handguns with a case at the side and not to mention the knifes around the room. Naa put her gun away moving towards the window which the killer would have aimed from to snipe Maxwell, as she got closer, she saw a single bullet casing placed at the scene.
As she picked it up and examined it, she was no longer had any doubt about that the man with the black face mask was the assassin. The bullet casing had the same symbol she had seen earlier on the coffee cup etched unto it.
As she thought more about that her attention moved on to the case which was down on the floor, moving closer to the case she went down to open the case and it was a sniper disassembled, “Got you!” as she spoke to herself the officers had arrived with her partner amongst them looking around at the remains of the fight scene before looking back at Naa.
Back in the secret room under the Thompson Manor Hank had just arrived taking off his hood, mask and goggles before seating before his computer looking at a red dot which was moving across a map. Unknown to the reaper during the earlier battle Hank had managed to place a tracker on him allowing him now to find his base of operations.

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!

Awakened; Dungeon Tales
For decades now, strange places inhabited with monsters have been appearing across the globe. People call them dungeons and those who enter them delvers. For years, delvers explored and conquered, becoming beacons of hope—idols in a world wracked by war. Nowadays, thousands of youths each year undergo the Awakening ritual, foregoing their mundane life in favor of a more magical one. Marco is one such youth. He has a cushy life and a good family that wishes only what is best for him. He isn’t satisfied, however—he wants more. What exactly, he doesn’t know. He only knows that inside the confines of what is considered normal, he won’t find it. I update twice a week, on Tuesday and on Saturday. P.s. Before you start reading, I would like to say a few words. For starters, I never thought I would one day publish something on this website, and I want to thank all the other authors who inspired me to do so. I would also like to thank whoever spends their time to read my novel—it means a lot. So, thank you. Finally, I think it is imperative I warn you. I’m not a native English speaker: English is not my first language. If you see mistakes, feel free to point them out. I will correct them as soon as I have the time to do so. Cover: It was done by Ioannis Ioannidis. It can be found for free on Pixabay. Should the author ask, I will remove it immediately.

Choice. An important thing is it not? We always make choices. Every day of every week of every month (of every year), we do “choices”.

Take your time, I’m not waiting for the people who chooses the latter anyways.

An Invisible Girl
Not all Isekai is Human This is the story of the last survivor of her race, who is offered the option to be reborn in another world to continue the fight against the monsters that consumed her species. The new world is a horrible death world. It is filled with both beauty and horror, strange sentients of various types and perhaps the most dangerous monsters ever conceived. Humans. Two aliens. two violently opposed cultures. Is One little world big enough for both of them? First note: Please don't expect immediate action and slaughter and sex. There's a lot of conversation, drama, and interaction, as she learns about her new world. Second note: This is not 'humans as monsters'. It is more like "There are monsters, but humans can make their own". Technically I guess it qualifies as a system apocalypse, but it never really hits the apocalypse parts. Third note: This IS a Litrpg and the 'classes' provide some superhero-style action, eventually. It isn't strictly superhero, though. a lot of bits are contemporary fantasy, some are pure sci-fi, and some are superhero, depending on how people choose their new abilities. The overall theme is technically sci-fi, but soft like a baby. Fourth note: there is some sexuality (not sex) involving a protagonist in a 17-year-old body. Her mind is over 50 years old, though, and the body was created at that age in order to give her 6 months' leeway to learn to be human. This is not juvenile sex stuff, as the character is fully adult, just not adult as a Human.Plus it's mostly included for humor and alien context.
