《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 36: The Surprise Attack
Advertisement
The sun begins to set, Uriel’s group head to downtown Sun City. Between the tallest building, a small cafe is established with a sign that says:
“Jairo’s Coffee”
“Jairo, we’ve arrived…” Kasumi opens the door, Jairo and Rosa are waiting for them. The store is closed for the day with a “Close” sign at the door.
“Good, well Alejandro, it looks like you came after a two week absence. I hope you didn’t forget that you still work here right?”
Alejandro apologizes with tears in his eyes; “I’m sorry, I thought I was fired…”
“Well you are not, remember that this job is a lifetime…” Mr. Jairo pats Alejandro’s head.
“Thank you…”
“There is also a job for you Tiwa and for you too handsome…” Jairo winks at Uriel, Uriel replies politely:
“Thank you, I will consider it…”
Kasumi feels jealous and clears her throat.
“Jairo, let’s go to the base for now…”
“Right, sorry Kasumi…”
Jairo and the others go to the back of the coffee shop where the kitchen lies. He stands at the door of an abandoned fridge located at the end of the kitchen. He moves the handle and a keypad appears. He enters the code and the refrigerator begins to slowly open.
“Holy cow, that’s a secret passage, just like the movies!” Alejandro shouts with excitement.
"You work here and you never suspected it?" Tiwa asks with a disappointed expression.
"Well, I always thought it was a decoration, but looking at it now. Everything makes sense now…" Alejandro laughs nervously as he scratches his cheek.
“You are correct, but remember you three that this is a secret…and if you say something, you will die…”
Jairo puts on a serious expression, causing Alejandro and Tiwa to feel nervous. Jairo switches his expression:
“Just kidding…”

As they walk down the stairs, the lights begin to turn on, Alejandro looks with wonder as he thinks:
“Man, this is like a Batcave, I wonder if I can meet Batman…”
They reach the hideout, the hideout consists of a room with a large computer, it has hearts and rainbows everywhere, and Unicorn figures at the size of a german shepherd.There is a large sofa with two small couches on the side.
“WELCOME TO MY BASE OF OPERATIONS...WONDERLAND…” Jairo presents the base with excitement.
“Jairo is a lower trunk member, he is an expert on technology...he is our eyes and ears in this city.” Kasumi explains to Uriel, Uriel nods understanding the situation.
“Now then, Carlos and Chelsea are currently on a mission hunting down some Kage on the north eastern part of Sun City. Right now there are no signs of the Chupacabras.”
“I see, well then, let’s wait for the report. For now, let’s go over what we know about the Chupacabras.”
******************************************************************************
At the southeastern part of Sun City, there is a suburban area of houses located away from the tallest buildings. The sun is setting, causing large shadows to cover the area. The Sombras or Kages begin to move. Carlos and Chelsea begin to hunt them down as part of their mission:
(RRRRRAAAWWW)
(PIU PIU)
"That's one down." Carlos brags as he watches one of the Sombras disappear. He wears a black jacket with blue borders and black military pants.
(RRRRRAAAWWWW)
A sombra approaches from the back. Carlos turns around feeling relaxed:
"Prepare to meet your…."
(BBAANNGGG)
A bullet hits Sombra's head, making it disappear.
Carlos looks disappointed and exclaims:
"SHEESH CHELSEA, THAT WAS MINE…”
Chelsea appears, she is wearing a black vest with light blue borders with a long shirt below her vest. She has black shorts with leggings and military boots. She has headphones with a special blue lens on her left eye.

Chelsea makes a smirk; “ Well too bad, I was just faster.”
Carlos sighs, he puts his hand in his ear and gives a report:
“This is Carlos, mission accomplished.”
“Excellent, come back to the base. We will begin the meeting shortly.” Jairo informs both of them.
"Right…" Carlos sighs with his eyes closed.
" What's wrong? You look down on the dumps…" Chelsea asks Carlos, Carlos looks at her and doesn't respond.
Chelsea makes a smirk and teases Carlos:
"Are you jealous of Uriel?"
Carlos stops walking as he looks away nervously. He begins to explain:
"It's just that I never imagined that Uriel was strong enough to beat Senpai."
"You got a point, that Uriel appears to be stronger and more handsome than you…"
"NO HE IS NOT, WHO'S SIDE ARE YOU ON ANYWAY?"
"I'm with the most handsome of course…" Chelsea teases Carlos. She grabs his shoulder saying:
" If you keep working hard, I'm sure Senpai will someday notice you…"
"You think so?"
"HELL NO!" Chelsea burst in laughter. Carlos makes a fist; " Damn you…"
Carlos and Chelsea turn around a corner, there is an empty street that has a dead end, the lights are off, there are no cars, only clothes float around the block. Carlos and Chelsea look terrified.
“What’s going on here…”
“You sinners, should pay…”
Carlos and Chelsea are frozen as someone slowly walks past them. A girl with black cloak and white hair slowly walks to the center of the street. She lifts her head revealing her green eyes.
Carlos looks at the clothes and with a furious tone screams:
“DID YOU KILL ALL OF THESE PEOPLE?”
“You sinners should pay because of what you did to the “Ales.” The Ales took revenge against you sinners. Everyone here was a tribute to him…”
Carlos and Chelsea look at her wondering what she was talking about.
“Jairo can you hear me? We have a situation…”
(BBBBOOOMMMM)
Suddenly, something falls from the sky, a winged monster spreads its wings and roars.
“It can’t be...that’s the Chupacabras,” Chelsea says with nervousness. Carlos is also in shock; he changes his expression with confidence:
“Perfect, now I will demonstrate to Kasumi-Senpai that I am the only one that should be her right hand.”
Carlos takes out two kunai knives and charges at the beast.
“Wait Carlos, it's dangerous…” Chelsea tries to warn him. The girl looks at both of them:
“You two will also serve as sacrifices.”
Carlos and Chupacabras clash with great force.
(BBBBBOOOOMMMM)
“Damn it…” Chelsea makes her rifle appear; however she is suddenly frozen. Someone appears behind her. A man with a black cloak comes out from a portal.
“Wait a minute young girl, it’s better to not interfere…”
Chelsea slowly turns around with fear as she sees the face the man:
“It can’t be...you….”
El Muerto attacks Chelsea without giving her time to react.

Night Terror
Story is currently 'on hold' for an indefinite period of time - I will eventually post the whole thing when it's complete, see the news post for more details. After dying young, a man reincarnates into a new world as Abe Haruki. 'This whole world is suspicious...' Despite the fact that Haruki had never once met a god, even during his reincarnation, he couldn't help feeling that this world was just too... Intelligently designed? I mean, seriously... Levels? Classes? Stats? Items? You can even level up your abilities! 'Definitely suspicious...' Unfortunately, the Church have been keeping close tabs on him from the shadows. They've heard rumours of a boy, born with a golden ring. With magical affinities that defy logic. Darkness and light energies destroy each other, violently, so how does he have the affinity for both? Can Haruki live his peaceful life along side childhood friend Suzu? Or will they fall to the coming darkness? ::Author's note:: While there are stats and exp etc, it's not LitRPG. They are there, but not the focus in any way. The world is more hardcore - A human is soft, so a pierced lung should eventually kill them. Even though they have a small pool of HP, a single deadly blow can end it all. If you ever want to say G'day, I'm in the discord chat every now and then, so feel free to join the madness ;) Thanks for reading

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.

Re:Stoat
This story is utterly brutal, sick, twisted, and vile. Rape, Murder, Gore, Nature. Elephants rape and murder rhinos... I want to make this story twisted from the start. The world is a viscous and cruel place. My story is going to push limits. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
