《The Software Detective》1.4 Why is everyone so calm?
Advertisement
As I went through the aisles, I grew more suspicious of the customers. Was I the only one concerned with the upcoming monster fight in the parking lot. I walked past mother's shopping and having unrelated hippo conversations with their children. There were teenagers in the candy aisle; debating if Hershey bars were better than Three Musketeers. But I was convinced they like Mars Bars more because they were out of this world if they weren't thinking of ways to avoid those hippos.
Suddenly I heard a scream front of the store "Oh my god!" Rushing to the front of the store I saw a lady with her hands on her head looking out the window, Finally someone that can feel the murderous presence in the presence in the parking lot.
"You see them too, the hippos, right!" I said. Point directly at the two purple beasts bumping heads.
"What? Oh those, yeah, who cares. My trunk is open! I have to check if anyone took my stuff!" The lady said, abandoning her cart and running into ground zero. I reached out to stop her, trying to prevent a casualty. But I was too slow, as she was already out the door. Now I was sure something was off. If everyone could see them, why did no one care?

Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.

Little Death
Not quite immortal, but certainly not human, Tabitha and Sam blended in for years as a seemingly normal couple-- hitting the bars together, scraping out a living on the edge of society, never revealing that the violent ends of their human lives had rebirthed them as Mara--a succubus and an incubus. But when a mutual mistake brings down punishment upon them, forcing them to separate, each loses the only thing that matters--their lover, partner, and soul mate. Tabitha, determined to placate the entities who control her fate, takes to the streets of New York City to find a long-lost relic she hopes will win their favor; by night, she pursues the dreamers who welcome her into their beds and, sometimes, their wallets. Sam, despondent and struggling, escapes deeper and deeper into a relationship with a human woman enchanted with him--and one that could risk all he has left. Until a single encounter changes everything, and he will have Tabitha back no matter what the cost.
