Third day of Spring Break over Kaomagi Earth
"That's all I know!" he screamed in pain. "I swear that's all I know!"
Darc looked at the sorry excuse of an assassin working for some noble. Even the other assassins he interrogated were better than him.
Darc had only needed to cut off a finger of his and threaten to cut the next, and the assassin spilled out everything which somehow lasted for hours, his employer spilled unnecessary information to him. What an amateur, his old man would've done worse to him.
Anyway, seeing as the assassin was done, Darc moved on to his finishing routine, "What's your name?"
"Wha?" And the assassin, naturally, was confused.
"I said, what is your name!?" Darc demanded.
"I-It's Gus!" the assassin squeaked.
"Full name!" the dark elf shouted.
"G-Gustard Ryders!" the assassin screamed at the top of his lungs.
SLASH
And death comes to assassins who failed and this man was not prepared for that.
"Good grief." Darc rummaged his jacket and took out his brown leather notebook and pen. He opened the book and wrote 'Gustard Ryders'.
Another day's work for the reaper of the court.
Fourth day of Spring Break over Kaomagi Earth
After handing over the bandit leader, who was unconscious, to the knights, Darc went to the remains of the battlefield.
Two bandits were killed by his dagger and five were brutally mangled by his stakes.
He inspected the bandit with his neck slashed. He found a metal plate with the name 'Billy Rogers'. He then rummaged the other bandit he stabbed from the nape. Nothing that fives his identity.
He then addressed the five corpses full of holes.
First bandit, nothing.
Second bandit, another metal plate with the name 'Phillip'. Were these bandits with plates adventurers?

Third bandit, a handkerchief roughly made with the 'To Daddy' on it. Great, he killed a loving father. He'll try to inform his family if he obtained his identity.
Fourth bandit, nothing in particular.
Fifth bandit, only the remains of a metal plate. His stake must've destroyed it. He could only make the words 'A' and 'n'. He'll name him Andrew.
He pulled his leather notebook and wrote:
Billy Rogers
Bandit A
Bandit B
Phillip
Bandit C who was a loving father
Bandit D
Andrew
This was a bad day.
On a certain day long after the attempted coup was thwarted, Darc stood in front of an overweight man in a somewhat unkempt lavish clothing.
"W-Who are you?" the man grumbled.
"Your executioner, Doug von salt waters," Darc stated coldly.
"What? You, a filthy dark elf!?" Doug snapped. "Execute me!?"
STAB
"Aaah!" the noble howled in pain as a black stake shot out and stabbed his pancreas.
"And you will pay for what you did to us 'demi-humans,'" Darc continued as he loomed over the noble.
"Ah... No! Forgive me!" Doug pleaded, writhing in pain. "Don't- Grah!"
STABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTABSTAB...
Darc pulled out his notebook and crossed out the name 'Doug von salt waters'.
He felt great.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

Ashford Meyers used to be a general practitioner, living out his days in peace while he expanded on his hobbies. This all came crashing down when the world changed. Creatures from myths came out of the ether to wreak havoc on the world. He uses his smarts and additional powers from the system to create a place for the remnants of humanity to flock to. He starts training those who want to protect the weak in this new world until everything changes with the arrival of the outworlders. So, this fiction is something that I have been working on for a few weeks, and as such, I have about 75 pages already pending. On another note, chapters will be released every week on Monday and Friday, 8:00 am EST.

This is not a world of heroes... In the near future, individuals who would come to be known as the Advanced are born across the globe. They may have abilities far surpassing scientific understanding, but for all that they are still only human, and have to make their way in a world that values hard currency over great deeds. So when humanity's ability to decide its own future is cut short with the arrival of a fleet of mysterious ships in the sky, they can only watch as the world is subjugated and humanity imprisoned within its own cities. Now these super-powered individuals must find a way to overcome a mechanical monster of unknown power and the people who would betray their own race for personal gain. It will be a race against time, and the fate of the planet is at stake. And even should they somehow succeed, a far greater threat is approaching... A sometimes violent, sometimes comic story of ordinary people with extraordinary powers, caught in the eye of the storm.
