"I swear I swear I swear if we don't find her by tomorrow I'm sure she's kidnapped!" I tell Ray in the morning.
Ray made pancakes and waffles. I sat next to Charlotte while we ate.
Ray looks at my werid.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing it's just that...GOOCH!" He yells.
"Yes!" He calls back.
"Come down here!"
He came down from upstairs and he asked Ray what was the problem. Guess Ray disturbed his beauty sleep.
"Didn't vandel come out from jail just a few weeks ago?" He asked.
Vandel who?
"Ray! You never talk about him and-" he gasped.
"Look i know I don't just tell me yes or no." Ray said.
"Yes Ray and that was a few months ago. You really need to keep track." Gooch rolled his eyes.
"I know I know but I was thinking about maddie and vandel said as soon as be got out jail he would take revenge, but for sure I thought it was the other day but I've been thinking-"
"It could be him! Did you try tracking maddie down with her watch?" Gooch asked.
"Yes! But it didn't work!" I tell him.
"How about her phone?" Gooch asked
"No!" We all look at each other.
Ray ran to the computer and typed in a few random things and got maddies phone with the track device on the screen.
"No way!" He yelled.
"What?" I asked walking over to the screen.
"She is with vandel! Oh my poor-"
"She's with some criminal dude?!" I scream.
"No. Well yes. I mean. Ugh. It's a long story." Ray says.
"Well we got time." Char smiled at me.
"You might want to sit down for this one."

*flash back*

"Come on vandel! I want to go this year you always go!" I pout.
Our father Eric Manchester was a scientist. He had the coolest lab and was very famous. Meaning he never had time for us. My mother died 5 years ago when I was only 4. Vandel who was only 4 years older than me acted more than a 13 year old. Vandel as my brother might sound with all the cool friends he brings home but in reality it's not. He never cared for me! And when dads away he throws parties.
And once year it's take your child to work day. For all theses years vandel gets to go because he's older. But my father said as soon as I was 9 I'm allowed to go.
"But vandel I'm old enough now!" I remind him.
"Okay but you have to ask dad first." He says.
"He'll never let you go." He mutters.
With just his luck my father agreed to take me to his lab. Two weeks later dad was getting ready to show this group of people a new machine he made that made
But I remembered how I really wanted to show my father this sick move I did with my skateboard.
As the group was standing by the machine my father made, I rode my skateboard down to my father. But unfortunately my timing was a little wrong and Dad already had switched the machine on.
I went through the machine. At first I couldn't even feel myself. But after 10 seconds I was feeling better and I could here my father shouting.
"RAY RAY ARE YOU OKAY?!" He yelled.
"Yea.." I didn't know what to say.
"Wait one minute." He went in the back and got a bat. You know the one you use for baseball.

"Um Dad what are you-" but he already cut me off by hitting the bat on my head.
"OWW!" I yell.
"What?" He asked.
"That hurt!" I said.
"But did you get any bruises?" He asked.
"No?"
And that's when my father decided that it was best for me to serve swellview as a superhero.
*flashback over*
*henry*
"Wow." I say to Ray.
"So what about vandel?" Charlotte asked.
"Vandel got jealous that my father only gave attention to me and never to him. He thought if I could become a superhero he could become a villain." Ray shook his head.
"So did he get the attention?" I asked.
"Oh yeah. But the first person I put into jail was my own brother. After that my father never spoke of vandel and neither did I." Ray told us.
"So if vandels your brother, maddies your niece, then that means.." Ray nodded.
"Yeah maddie was born into a life of crime. Which I took her away. I really couldn't see my niece go through the same thing. And her mother-" he stopped there.
"What about her mother?" I asked.
"Her mother was the core of the plan." He says.
"What plan?" Charlotte asked.
"Her mother was actually forced to get married to vandel. Her parents already dead, and vandel did some things. I have to censer for you children. So she ended up marrying him. Big mistake for her and vandel." He explained.
"Ray! Your family is just messed up!" Charlotte said.
"Yeah I know. It's horrible." He says.
"I'm sorry Ray." I tell him.
"Nah Henry, it was your right to know. Plus you need to know the history to get maddie." He winked at me and then laughed.
"What?!" I yell.
"Oh come on Hen, you know you like her." Charlotte poked me on the arm.
"Eww gross I would never like her!" I say.
"Lier lier lier lier pants on fire!" Sang Ray.
"Guys!"
The both laughed.
"But seriously shouldn't we head to maddie?" I ask.
"We will have to do that at night." Ray said.
"Why?" Charlotte asked.
"Because that's when the walldogs are out."

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.
8 195Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region
