Alex POV
A month and a half had passed since the attack and now I'm practically tired, I've already achieve my goal of opening a coffee shop and I would've laid low if it wasn't for Athena pestering me about the company
The company was just a means to an end for me but it seems like Athena doesn't think the same way, ever since talking to Shuri she's been really motivated to build the company successfully, I don't know why but it seems to be related to some bet they just made awhile ago
Thankfully, The company's legal procedure are finally done and now it's entering the building phase, as for the location we set it up near the the spot where the avengers facility will be built in the future
The Building will be the most technologically advance building in the entire world before the Avengers tower and it will be powered by volatile promethium; it can generate limitless energy (it's counter part the depleted Promethium was said to be so strong that even superman has a hard time breaking it) but there is a downside to this
First, It seems like I can only create a thumb size volatile Promethium per year, I successfully created two of them but the cause was not worth it because I was comatose for four whole days and a massive headache followed after I woke up
Second, The Promethium metal is dangerous because it activates a human mutagen just by being near it, mutating a person in the process
In order to counter the radiation it produce, it will be incase in a proto-adamantium casing and will only be use to power the building via underground and the ship, which will be use for space exploration in the future

The creation of the building started in august and will be finish by January, The worker drones will be use to build it and they'll be covered by a wide range holographic projector to disguise the building's construction, the SHIELD will surely notice but it will also help advertise our tech, forging our way into the market
The only problem now is how to convince Ms. Frost to become my very own Pepper Pots, I'm going to meet her next week and hopefully everything will go according to plan

Third Person POV
New York Police Department
"Captain, this is the 15th time this month" said a police officer who handed Captain George Stacy the papers containing the info they got about the criminals
"For the last month, 312 men who were working for the criminal syndicate, got taken out by an unknown assailant along with evidence enough to ensure that the criminals will rot in jail" Captain George Stacy said to the twelve police men who are infront of him
A Police Officer replied "Sir according to the various testimonies gathered by our men, they admitted that something like a ninja took them out, some say it's work of 12 foot man who can throw a grown man like a ragdoll and other says ridiculous stuff like a monster of the night who has blood red eyes attack them, they said it was like a predator hunting them in the middle of the night"
Another follow up and said "the only plausible description with lil BS is that, the one who attack them is possibly a man, wearing a metalic armor similar to the knights of old but much more hightech, blood red eyes and an insignia of this" the police man showed a drawing of what it seems like a blood red Bat logo

He then added "It seems like all of them were attack by a man that wears the Insignia of a Bat, almost everyone admit to seeing a Blood red Bat logo on the persons chest"
"Hmm...how bout' the various CCTV's on the area? Did you get something?" Captain Stacy ask
"No, it seems like all cctv in a km radious was shutdown for some reason, although we do got this picture taken on one of the shop a km away from the area" the police man showed a picture of what seems like a silhouette of a car covered in shadows, he added " it seems like this vehicle corresponds to the vehicle we just saw last time, where we arrested a bunch of thugs in an alleyway in midtown manhattan"
"Hmm...and how are the men who were hospitalized?" Captain Stacy ask
"Almost half of the total number of criminal we got are crippled for life, some had their arms cut off and some others have broken bones but surprisingly no one died" a police man replied "also our inside man in the underworld said that a bunch of criminals are leaving the city in fear and a bunch of them got so terrified that they turned a new leaf, they dubb the man "The Dark Knight" but mostly the criminals just calls him BloodBaT, because of his cruel method"
"Surprisingly this attack weren't just random, it seems like this Dark Knight seems to be targetting Strategic points, such as warehouses full of illegal weaponry and dealers who transport illegal weapons on and off the city, effectively cutting the crime rate by a large percent" a police woman said
"Hmm..looks like a work of vigilante to me" a police man said skeptically
"Then if possible if we make contact with this Dark Knight, I want all of you to bring him in for questioning, vigilantism is still a crime even if it's helping the society" Captain Stacy said to his men who nodded in reply "okay then this meeting is dismiss"
One by one the police men and women got out of the conference room leaving Captain Stacy staring at The Bat logo
"Things are starting to change"

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
8 181Obsession x Mana
The modern world had become exposed to a new element which became unanimously known as "Mana" after a freak meteorite incident, creating people with superpowers and monsters that threaten life on Earth. Perun, the "Progenitor" of the meta-humans retired as a war hero and created a Dark Guild, its members being the war orphans he had adopted throughout his career. His peaceful life of filling paperwork begins to collapse as the nightmare of his "Awakening" becomes increasingly unbearable, forcing his once-powerful abilities to turn dormant. Unbeknownst to Perun, the problem children he had adopted since young, have grown up into girls with cheat-level abilities due to the properties of his mana; they became meta-humans far beyond the level of humanity, powers that contest a twisted love monopoly for their father. Should anyone bare their fangs (or romantic interest) towards their beloved one, their sweet facades shall break with no hesitation. When their seemingly unaware Master is forced to return to the center stage again as a "Level 1" character like the rest of the world, his obsessive daughters shall move beneath the shadows to create his new legend. This is the story of yanderes & obsessions.
8 86Meaning: The End of the Starless Century
Magic was once a reality of everyday life, shaping the lives of the gifted and ungifted alike since the dawn of humanity. That all changed in the fires of World War I. Seeking to avoid catastrophe, humanity’s leaders enacted the Masquerade Order and segregated the magical community while also forming The Congregation to enforce the separation. As time passed, the awesome power of magic was forgotten by the world outside. This held true for a little over a century, but things begin to change when three individuals intersect in the peaceful town of Ithaca, New York. Noelle Sellers, a newly minted policewoman searching for her place in the world. Levi Wright, a mage living in Ithaca who is far more than he lets on. Lorelei Himmel, a juvenile witch in hiding out of fear of what people would do to her, and what she may do to them. As forces slithering in the darkness emerge from the murky depths of the world, the timeless battle for magic and for the future itself begins once again.
