[8:00 A.M.,April 4,2031 in United of Armed and Forces Main Prison]
Today is the day the of the meeting of those 'chosen ones' about my death penalty sentence.
Right now,I'm eating my breakfast.There is nothing special here.It is just a piece of bread and cup of black coffee.
Coincidentally,after finishing eating,the door opened and someone has come to visit me.
But to my surprised,it not the one who take care about my food or George.I was approach by the new different face I never seen before.
"Hello,Sir Holiday.I'm Stewart,subordinate of Mr.George.I'm here to guide you to meeting room."
"Huh?"
"No,what I mean is you are also included with the meeting."
What?I thought they are the only ones who will talk about my sentence.Why do I need to go there?.
"Hmmm,why do I need to be present in the meeting?"
"It was an order from the head chief."
"Then?"
"I'm sorry,but I'm not allowed to tell any further information.But don't worry,you will also know later."
Since,I have no choice,I will just follow this guy.
"First of all,you need to wear this cuffs."
Stewart handed me two pieces of cuffs.One for my hands and one for my foot.
"Why I do I need to wear this?Don't worry,I will not make a scene."
"I know it is a hussle but please just follow the instructions.I was also given by the head chief."
So again,I can't defy the rules.I have no choice but to wear those cuffs.After wearing,I can feel the wieght of the chains in my hands and foot.
The person in charge in my prison opened the rails.Then Stewart started to guide to the meeting.He is behind me,pointing a gun at my back.
"So they don't really trust me huh?Actually,this is overkill.I will not be able to do much from the moment you put this cuffs and chains in my body."

"Of course.Mr.George always told that you are the greatest killer in the history.To the point that even though you are being shot 5 times,you can still kill 100 people."
"That's a hyperbole.Don't always believe on what George says to you about me.I'm still human.I'm not immortal."
Stewart didn't answered back and stay silent until we reach the meeting room.
"We are already here,Mr.Holiday.Hmm,what should I say,are you ready?"
"Ready?Ready to die?Yes,of course."
"Ready to the meeting?"
"I'm not really supposed to be here."
When Stewart opened the door,what shows me is probably the 'chosen ones' that George talk about to me.
"So this is the professional killer huh.He is quite young.I expected that he's age is about 40-50 years old.But this guy looks 20 years old."
"25 years old,to be exact."
I give a specific answer to the one of the leaders.I didn't know his name,but let me describe him.He is a tall guy,the propotion is just normal,not too big,not too small.I think his age is about 30 hears old.
"You are not allowed to talk unless you are asked,Mr.Holiday."
Stewart said that while closing the distance between the gun he is pointing and me.
"Don't worry,Stewart.As long as he didn't say anything bad,that's fine."
George,who is sitting,said that.
"Mr.George,you never said that I will be also part of this meeting.I didn't expect this."
"Sorry,since it is actually a confindential information so I couldn't say it.But more importantly,dont called me with 'Mr.'Just call me with my name,like the usual."
'Don't called me with 'Mr.' huh.That reminds of my MASTER.
"Okay,okay.So since all the people who was needed was already let's start with this meeting."
The one who said that was probably the Head Chief,since he is opposite part of this rectangular,long table.

"Mr.Holiday,please take a sit in the vacant chair."
I followed the man,probably the Head Chief and sat the vacant chair.Stewart still pointing his gun,but right now to my head.
"So to start with this meeting let's just vote.It will just easy.I will ask who is agreed to death penalty sentence of Mr.Holiday and if you agreed,kindly raised your hand.Understood?"
They answered "Yes we are"
It feels like voting who will gonna be the president of a class.
"So,who is agreed to execute Mr.Holiday?"
Many people raised their hand.I count them.One.Two.Three.....Ten people.Wait there are 13 leaders overall.So aside from George,there are two other people against my execution.
"So for those who raised their hands,keep that down already.And for those who didn't raised their hands,I would like to hear your reasons why you didn't raised. Starting for you,Cathy."
So the of that girl si Cathy,she is a tall girl.And his body was slim.I think her age is about 27-32 years old.
"Because I want to fight with this professional killer to see if he really strong enough kill 1,000 people."
What's up with that reason?Of course I will refuse to fight you.I already done with violence.
"Okay,what a childish reason.How about you,Hoon?"
Hoon.small guy but too young.Probably his age is under 20 years old.
"Okay,so another childish reason.How about you,George?"
Here it comes.What will gonna George say?
"I'm not really against to it.But I just want to postponed it until we finished our mission with the new terrorist group."
"Why it has to bw until you finished to the mission?"
"I like to acquire Mr.Holiday as 14th leader to lead with the same mission with us."
All of the people inside the meeting room,except the Head Chief and George,dropped their jaws when they heard that statement.Meaning I was also surprised.
14th leader?Me?I will not do that.I don't to be stressed anymore.I don't want,to kill anymore.
"What can you say about,other leaders?"
"I completely disagree.If he partake to the mission,meaning he will be free again outside.And that will be corcerning since I believe to the saying,'once you become a murdurer,you will be always a murderer'."
"That makes sense,Dolby."
Dolby,big guy with big muscles.His age is probably above 40 years old.
George,meanwhile,stood up with his chair,faced the Chief Head and bow his head and said:
"Please,Head Chief.Just don't tell this to the official.I believe that Mr.Holiday will be a huge help to this mission.Also,I'm not saying to cancelled his execution,but at least,POSTPONED it.Since our mission will be hardest one,we need some help,and I think Mr.Holiday will be able to fulfill that role."
"...."
Silence was fell inside the room.Maybe they are also surprised to George's sudden actions.That includes me.
And after some time,the Head Chief said:
"Okay,I get it George.But let's ask the real person here.What can you say abou it.Mr.Holiday."
The Head Chief and the rest of the leaders turned their eyes to me.
Really,George,just what in the world your doing.You are giving headache with the amount of your stupidness here.
"Uhmmm.If Mr.George really wants to include into a mission,then maybe I will gonna accept.But there is one condition."
Yes,I will partake in this mission.But there is one condition.
"I don't know when the enemy will attack,but at least give me two months of preperation."

8 77The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
8 92God of Thieves
Matsumoto Kunio was just an average human living a boring life in Tokyo, Japan. That was the case until he died and was reincarnated to another world! Armed with a System and tasked with a mission to save the world, watch as Matou, the new name he was given, sets off on an epic adventure! …Or at least, that should have happened? “All right, hand me the thingamabob, you’re no longer the main character! Now, how does this thing work? Ah. “My name is Kayden, and witness my ascendance to the God of Thieves! None shall be safe from my hands, not even your beloved System! Muahahahaha!” This can’t be happening… Author’s note. Hi, this novel is a LitRPG novel. In case you are confused, both Kayden and Matou are main characters, but the ‘protagonist’ would be Kayden. The novel is pretty slow-paced (in my opinion), so do keep that in mind when reading. This is my first novel, so do leave reviews and comments on how to improve my writing. Be nice about it. Also, I recently added the profanity tag. There is some swearing but it's not excessive or anything. Adding it just in case. Taking a one week break! Basically until my exams are over.
