《Lazy Ash》34.Noobs, Scum, and The job no one else can do.

Sorry for the late release stayed an extra day at my dads. Quick thanks to our proofreader MushGod174 and heres the next!
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Ash? Don't you think you should start training again? It has been 4 days and all you have done is force your school to graduate you early by blackmailing your principal, getting drunk with Garth, and playing video games. You've been ignoring your mom, the vampires, and the witches. Don't you want to be more than a waste in human society? Inari asks.
"Born.Waste.Must.Crush.Noobs." Is all I am able to reply at the moment. My focus was on the game in front of me. I was participating in an online tournament with my guild and the other team were full of douchebag little squeakers who aren't even old enough to buy the game. Hate those little bastards.
I hear another sigh from my ever present watchers. They were right in a way. I should be training but how could I? I am finally free! For the first time in my life I am not under anyone's thumb. I have my own kickass place with a much better setup than anything I had at home and all the gear mom destroyed was replaced or severely upgraded.
Despite what the girls are saying I haven't been exactly idle. With my new computer that even Tech would blow his load upon seeing the specs, I am constantly running searches for quite a few individuals. I am also hacking corrupt companies for people they have screwed over or just to refill my bank account. Of course the first thing I did was use it to get dirt on my vice principal and principal. School is such a pain in the ass plus I wasn't learning a damn thing anyway.
Also they really needed to cut back on the hookers anyway.
The drinking with Garth was honestly a surprise. While I technically considered him my only male friend to date minus the ones online who apparently doesn't count I didn't know what he thought about me. So I was surprised when he showed up in my new apartment.
"Nice place lad. How much did it cost ya?" Garth asks.
"Oh it cost an arm and a leg. Oh there was a ruptured spleen too." I replied with a smile.

He looked at me confused but eventually he shurged it off as weird kitsune humor.
He liked the place especially the bar. Although he said the liquor was too weak after we cleaned it out. So he set me up with a dwarf brewer. I got to admit dwarf alcohol is fucking awesome!
These past days were something I really needed. All the training, my mother, and all the girls were just too much. Thanks to my sync with darkness and lighting I am able to hold my ground more and can ignore most things now.
I know I will probably pay a pretty big price later but I have no intention of changing my current life style.
"Come around the corner you little bastard my sniper wants to meet your head.....That's it. BOOM! HEADSHOT YOU FUCKING SQUEAKER! Hell yea world's top ten bitches!" I start doing a little victory dance around my apartment but only a little one though since I am a modest person.
I hear another sigh from the room but choose to ignore it. The girls have tried everything from begging to downright threats of torture to get me to stop fucking around for the last few days. The only thing I relent is making food but then again a gamer needs fuel.
As I was shit talking the little bastards through my mic I heard an alarm going off on my computer.
"Hmmm."
I give the 10 year olds one last curse then head on over.
"Finally found you, you sick bastard!"
The person my computer just located was "The Trainer". The more I find out about the fucker the more pissed off I get. He traffics women from all over the globe and "trains" them to his pleasure. "The worst part is that he even takes toddlers to be raised at his base.. I have found reports where he purchased and trained newborns. He also takes peoples kids who are in debt to him. Lastly some parent actually sold their kids to him or even payed him to train them for themselves!
My anger when I found about all of this could barely be contained. If it weren't for Inari and Alita I would have probably slaughtered the entire underworld in the city looking for the scum.

Now I finally have a location so I wrap myself in shadows and put on my suit.
"Girls we have a date."
=================================================
"Come at me and you'll see. I'm more than what meets the eye." I am currently scanning the area on top of a warehouse in the south part of town. Out of boredom I'm singing one of the best songs of a character I love.
Alita and Inari are in their weapon forms because the second I see the bastard I am going all out. As I am staking the place out so far I haven't seen anyone. Except of course his training area. I scanned the area with x-ray and found it. I had to stop myself from charging in and killing all the fuckers in there despite what they are currently doing. If I don't take care of the boss this will just continue.
All of the sudden I get a whiff of something odd and I hear someone approaching me fast. I flip up just in time to dodge a pitch black sword.
I glare at the person who just tried to cut me in half.
"I don't think we've met Dready but you've picked the wrong night to fuck with me man."
The person in question was Dread Knight. I have no idea why he is here but I swear to goddess if he fucks this up.
"Interesting. I have seen the news and heard the rumors but to think you dodged that. I made almost no sound and hand no killing intent and yet you evaded. Not bad young one." D.Knight says.
"That's cute thinking you could one shot me but what the hell do you want pun intended?" I growl.
"My master informed me that one of his servants would receive some trouble tonight so I came to make sure that doesn't happen." He gives me a sinister smile.
"Ash kill him, He is an abomination! To think a human could fall so low. Betraying millions of humans for power and serving demons! Now he's protecting our target? He needs to be dealt with." Alita roars in my head.
Inari gave a firm agreement.
"You should've stayed away because now I have to put an end to you." I tell Dread Knight.
"Better men than you have tried my boy but I am immortal! This armor is powered by the amount of people I have killed. So unless you manage to kill me several million times I will just keep healing!" He cackled in response.
I turned Alita into bow form pulled an arrow and shot him while pulling on lighting so he has no chance to react. The force and power of one of Alita's arrows is about the same as a missile with the piercing power of a 50 cal sniper.
Dread Knight was startled. He brought up his shield but it was useless. All his power is demonic. And what counters demonic? Holy power!
The arrow shattered his shield and blew a hole in his chest. He fell and lay twitching on the ground. I walked up to him and looked down. The hole in his chest was healing already and would be done in a few minutes.
"Y-yo-you ar-are an angel?" He gasps.
"Not exactly. You know you are right. Maybe I can't kill you but I can't allow you to be free either so you are going to suffer for quite some time Dready. No hard feelings okay?"
I pull up my devouring flame and watch as his eyes widen.
"What are you?" I hear him whisper.
I don't answer and cover him in black flames. Then I encase him in an ice cylindrical prison and command the flames to eat him but not the ice. I sink the prison into my shadows and turn back to watching for the arrival of my target.
"After tonight it's just going to be noob crushing and drunk shenanigans for a while. All this serious crap is really annoying."
I feel disdain from the girls then I see a car pull up and smile.
"Tonight I am going to kill a lot of people aren't I girls?" I ask with a bit of worry in my voice.
"They deserve it Ash so don't let it get to you. Sometimes things can only end in someone's death." Inari comforts while Alita sends me the mental equivalent of a hug.
"Thanks girls."
I steel myself and get ready to do the job no one else can do.

Child of Dusk
Life can be cruel, especially to those who don't fit in. But what would you do if you were given a second chance? Tim was a nobody during his time on Earth. As a penniless orphan with no friends to speak of, life was tough for him in his little Arizona town in the '90s. He'd utterly lost hope for the future until one day, he was reincarnated as Alvanue, beloved daughter and heir to the Starlit Throne of Silthonduen. Now, Alvanue has everything a princess could ever want: a loving family, loyal comrades and an entire kingdom at her finger tips. But what good is a kingdom when there's a whole world of magic and mystery out there to explore? *** Ok! Disclaimer time. I do edit my own work and I do not have a beta reader, so please feel free to point out any errors or plot holes (politely, of course). Each chapter will be around 4,000 to 6,000 words long and while I was posting every day at the beginning, I think I'll cut that down to once a week for now, excluding bonus chapters! I really don't want to get burned out. I started writing this because I love world building, so this is gonna be heavy on lore. If you're not into that, there's still a ton of character progression and action to look forward to! It's going to be slow at the beginning, but I promise it will pick up eventually. Thanks for checking my story out, I appreciate it a lot!

The Fall
Perhaps the most well known of all devils, demons, or fallen angels is the one known as Lucifer, Satan, the Father of Lies. The cultural influence of this figure throughout history is by no means small. Despite that, it wasn’t until the time of Milton’s classic – Paradise Lost – that we saw an attempt to portray a dramatized version of the events leading to this figure’s fall from grace and power. And while this is the case, Paradise Lost is not about Lucifer – though it goes into great detail about his potential musings. No, Paradise Lost was, and still is, about the fall of mankind. So, in light of this, and the feeling that the classical story deserved another telling, I present to you all The Fall – a story focused particularly on Lucifer’s fall from grace and his musings both before and after.

To Blunt The Sharpest Claw
The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases. With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers. This submission is the third title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet. Here's a quick recount of what's happened so far: When Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a Velvet Paw of Asquith, is ordered to investigate how a mysterious poet, the Ar'dath-Irr, is able to travel instantaneously around the world, two very bad things happen. Firstly, he meets Lydia, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, and secondly, the Ar'dath-Irr reveals he is intent on taking over the world. Although this second thing might be considered worse than the first, Oscar feels differently following Lydia’s destruction of a cafe, a library and his face in one afternoon. In comparison, thwarting world domination just seems easier. Along with Binklemitre, a fellow Velvet Paw of Asquith, and Lydia, Oscar infiltrates the Ar’dath-Irr’s realm of dark poetry to discover the dog not only intends wrenching the world apart but has no intention of cleaning up afterwards. As a result, Oscar decides it’s all too hard and goes home to have a bath. After lots of arguing and the sort of food fight that posh restaurants were invented for, Lydia and Binklemitre convince him that they must stop the Ar’dath-Irr for several reasons, one of them quite serious. A vibrant cast of characters collide as Oscar, Lydia and Binklemitre battle the Ar’dath-Irr and his disciples in an adventure involving exploding cafés and appalling hotels, car chases and inadvertent surgery, dreadful poetry, lots of arguments and at least one temper-tantrum, all of which draw the three into dark and convoluted corners of a world they weren’t aware existed. Moreover, any chance of sitting down and discussing things over some buns disappears when Lydia punches the Ar’dath-Irr in the face. This results in her having a psychotic episode and Oscar getting run over by an ambulance. Although Binklemitre suffers neither, he witnesses both, which is almost as dreadful, though not nearly so messy. An enormous battle ensues, followed by a dinner party and then everything explodes.
