《A Different kind of Hero (Marvel)》Chapter 4: The Paranoia Nick Fury would be proud of

2006 June, Manhattan, New York
Two months had pass and Alex has finally settled in, with the help of Athena (Artificial Intellegence) and his sweet sweet hacking skills he was able to create a dummy company to sell a 50 tonne gold ( which he created over the month) with the whooping price of 2060500000 USD, he then bought an apartment building on midtown manhattan and a coffee shop near the stark tower, the rest of the money were then split into multiple dummy accounts to prevent SHIELD from tracking him
About the apartment, it was for the lack of better term; quite fancy and plain ridiculous, he spent three weeks in customizing his apartment, he boosted its security from CCTV's, retina scanner to over the top things such as moving lasers, motion sensors and even a panic room, all of it connected to one superquantum computer manage by Athena and then viola a fucking home sweet home for the super paranoid Alexander Achilles (Yeah about that, living in Hell while being hunted by the army you yourself trained can be pretty scary) Oh I forgot he also has a workout area.
When Nakia gave Alex the AI, it has some unforseen but totally accepted consequences, either by science or magic Athena was implanted on his Brain, which he can then communicate telepathically and in turn Athena can also communicate and upload things for him in his brain. And by proxy Athena can also control the technology around Him making him some sort of technopath and because of this he was able to easily steal some quantum computer blue prints (which by the way he totally improve on) and then created Olympus (the name of the superquantum computer).
On the bussiness side, the coffee shop/ book shop which he named Hestia, the two story building was fully renovated to create a homey atmosphere, outside it looks plain rectangular building with big windows but on the inside, it was specially made to have a Harry potter vibe into it complete with an animated ceilings that looks like the night sky(holographic display) and a chimney with virtual fire, also he added some tv, for others who wanted some entertainment.

Up above, the second floor it followed the same style, but instead of tables and chairs it has couches, bean bags and a large collection of books, all in all a great place to spend some time
He plans to open by mid July and by then he would also be done stocking his apartment with some goodies and when I say goodies I mean guns, lots and lots of guns.

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
