《CRIMSON MOON (SHORT CHAPTERS)》Chapter 52: The Valentine Competition.
Advertisement
The HISTOREA group calmly walks down the hallway, suddenly they see a crowd on the bulletin board…
“What’s going on?” Uriel asks Alejandro.
“It’s probably the King and Queen nominations for Valentine's week.”
“What is that?” Uriel asks Alejandro, Tiwa steps in and replies:
“Two men and two women are nominated to be king and queen. The winner will be crowned at Valentine's dance…”
“I see…”
“Don’t get your hopes up, the nominees are always the same, chosen by the student council; Aleister and some other hot guy…in fact, I don’t care at all for that thing” Alejandro says to Uriel, Uriel walks to the board to see who are nominees.
“Eww, I can’t they choose him...a loser like him? Please..”
Alejandro and Tiwa pass the crowd and see who it is:
“WWWHHHAATTTT??”
Nominees for Queen; Marjorie Bellerose and blank
Nominees for King: Aleister Lucifugus and Alejandro Sanchez
The members of HISTOREA are in shock as they see Alejandro’s name; “Wait, I’m a nominee.”
Alejandro trembles; “IT CAN’T BE!”
Tiwa has her eyes wide open; “There has to be a mistake…”
“No, there isn’t” Aleister walks towards them. He stops and smiles:
“Historical Research Association, I need to talk to you, come to the Student Council now…”
Outside the High School, a beautiful with purple hair and blue eyes looks stands with wonder:
“WOOOW, SO THIS IS MY BROTHER’S HIGHSCHOOL!” The girl with purple hair looks at the beautiful modern building.
-TCH- “So many young women, and I can’t do a thing here...well, when I start working here, I’ll figure something out.” Alberto Gonzalez, the son of Rio Grande City mayor walks outside the building.
(PPUUMM)
He bumps into the girl with purple hair.
“Ouch, sorry about that, I wasn’t looking…” The girl apologizes, Alberto looks at her and smiles:
“Not to worry, my dear, it was my fault…are you a student here?”
“No, but I will be…” The girl says with a smile, Alberto gives a luxurious look, the girl waves as she says:
“Well then, gotta go, bye…”
Alberto stares at the girl as she runs towards the inside of the building.
“Oh, I really need to come here...I found my woman…”
The girl looks at the hallway as she thinks; “Now, where could my big brother be…”
******************************************************************************At the student council, the HISTOREA Alliance faces its next challenge:
“Aleister, why was I nominated to be King? Was this your doing?” Alejandro asks Aleister, Aleister chuckles and replies:
“Of course, you see this is a way for you to gain popularity, I am only doing this as a friend…”
“Don’t play dumb, Alejandro is not very popular, which means he will be humiliated…” Tiwa “defends” Alejandro. Alejandro feels like a “rock” with the word “Unpopular” on his back.

Carlos, Chelsea and Uriel only look at Aleister without saying a word. Aleister continues to speak:
“Now then, Alejandro was nominated by me and Marjorie as a way for you to be pardoned by the students of this school, remember that you punched me.”
“Yeah, I know, and I would gladly do it again you know…”
“Whoa there, let’s try to be civilized. Alejandro, you will need to find a partner to support you as your queen.”
Alejandro turns to look at Tiwa. Aleister continues to speak; “Just so you know, Tiwa, you are suspended from any class activity. Chelsea you are forbidden on helping Alejandro”
Tiwa looks surprised; “Ehh, but why?”
“Mmhh...You think I didn’t notice you two on the night that the monster attacked, you were disguised by wearing wigs.”
Everyone is in shock, Aleister chuckles; “I understand that Uriel was there as a guest for Kasumi but you two had no need to be there and working. According to our school law, students are forbidden to work on jobs that involve alcohol and you two were servers, right?”
“Wait, you got it all wrong…”
Aleister shows a picture of Alejandro and Tiwa in the kitchen. “Now listen, I convinced the Principal not to expel you. As a result, Alejandro, you will participate as a candidate to be a King and Tiwa you’re suspended from any class activity.”
Everyone is speechless, Alejandro trembles and asks; “Aleister, you set us up, didn’t you?”
“But of course, and to make it more interesting, let’s make a wager.”
“What kind of wager?”
“If I win, the HISTOREA Club will be terminated and all of you will be expelled. If you win then, I will forget about the incidents of that night...what do you say?”
“I-I-I…”
Aleister gets closer and says; “You will be humiliated in front of everyone and demonstrate the loser you have always been.”
Alejandro runs outside the classroom. “Alejandro, Wait…” Tiwa says as she tries to leave. Aleister closes the door with mana. Uriel stands up and walks towards Aleister; “So, that’s how you’re going to play?”
Aleister nods in agreement, Carlos and Chelsea glare at Aleister. Uriel chuckles, making Aleister angry:
“What's so funny, I am telling you that you will be expelled.”
“So, I don’t care about that,” Uriel stands face to face; “What I care about is the girl that is controlling the Sombras, you know who she is right?”
“I don’t know what you are talking about…”
Aleister and Uriel begin to increase their mana, Carlos and Chelsea take a battle stance.
“You never change Uriel, that’s why I hate you...but for now I would concentrate on your friend, the loser…”
“How about if I take you down here and now…” Uriel gathers mana in his hand.

“You’re welcome to try…”
Suddenly, Marjorie enters the room; “Aleister, I need to…”
She looks confused; “What’s going on here?”
Uriel and the others begin to the exit:
“Nothing is happening, we are just leaving...Thank you President for your advice…”
Carlos, Chelsea and Tiwa leave the room, Uriel is the last one to leave, as he passes next to Marjorie their eyes meet, Marjorie notices Uriel face and blushes. Uriel closes the door, he looks at Carlos, Chelsea and Tiwa who look angry. Uriel sighs thinking:
“This got complicated.”
Shion walks towards them; “Uriel, there is someone looking for you…”
“Really, and who that might be…” Uriel asks, thinking who it is.
“A girl named Valerie…”
Uriel opens his eyes wider and looks surprised:
“Valerie...it can’t be…”
At the same time that Uriel and Aleister were discussing, sitting outside the clubroom, Alejandro was mourning for what happened:
“Now what will I do? If I don’t participate, we will be expelled and if I lose we will be expelled.” Alejandro sighs and continues to speak:
“What’s worse, my friends can’t help me and I don’t have anyone else...damn it…”
Alejandro mourns with his eyes closed and bows his head feeling like a loser. Suddenly someone walks towards him:
“Excuse me, is this the Historical Research Association?”
Alejandro sighs, and responds; “Yes it is, how can I help…”Alejandro opens his eyes and he is left speechless. He is in shock as a beautiful girl with purple hair stands in front of him. The girl smiles and responds:
“GREAT!”
“A-A-Ahhh” Alejandro sees her with his mouth open as he thinks; “She’s gorgeous…”
The girl gets closer to him and asks; “Are you alright? It seems that you were crying…”
Alejandro panics, he jumps back, turns around and wipes his tears and turns around smiling:
“No, everything is fine, I wasn’t crying at all...hahaha” Alejandro laughs nervously, the girl smiles and replies; “That’s good to hear…”
“I-I-I’m Alejandro and you?”
“My name is Valerie...nice to meet you…” Valerie says with a pose causing Alejandro to blush.
“S-S-So, what brings you to our club?”
“Well, I was told I could find someone here…”
“Someone, who are you looking for?”
“Someone named Uriel…”
“Uriel?” Alejandro looks surprised and thinks; “Is she someone Uriel knows? Uriel mentioned he had family but he didn’t have any contact with…” Alejandro is lost in thought, Valerie gets closer asking:
“Are you okay?”
“YES I’M ALRIGHT?” Alejandro steps back panicking; “He is not here at the moment...but if you want I can take you to him…”
“You would do that? That’s great, thank you very much…”
“No problem...are you going to enroll here?”
“Yes I am...tomorrow will be my first day…”
“Well I can show you around school as we look for him…”
“That sounds lovely...thank you…”
Alejandro and Valerie head towards the school in search of Uriel…
Alejandro and Valerie head towards the school in search of Uriel…
**********************************************************************
At the same time…After informing Uriel, Shion headed to Kasumi’s classroom where she saw her acting strange:
"Senpai, are you alright?" Shion asks Kasumi with a worried expression.
"....." Kasumi doesn't respond as she looks at the window with "hearts" floating around her.
Johanna, the nurse, enters her classroom located on the second floor.
"Hey Kasumi…" Johanna looks at Shion with a worried expression.
"Oh sorry, I didn't know you were busy...maybe I'll return later..."
"No...wait Johanna, can you help me please…"
"What's the matter, Shion?"
"Well, I'm worried that Senpai is under some kind of spell…"
"Spell?" Johanna looks at Kasumi, she waves at Kasumi's face but she doesn't notice. Johanna chuckles:
"Fufufu, my dear, there is nothing to worry about, I assure that what she has is normal"
"Huh…" Shion looks confused. Johanna smiles and says:
"I'll show you...look it's Uriel…"
Johanna points at the window, Kasumi quickly stands and looks at the window:
"Where, where…"
Shion is surprised, Johanna chuckles once more; "Fufu, see, it's normal, Kasumi is in love…"
"Love?" Shion says with a red face.
"That's right…"
Kasimi returns to her senses and sees Johanna and Shion:
"Oh Johanna, Shion, when did you get here?"
Shion gets mad and with a fake smile says; "Senpai, I've been here all the time…"
Kasumi feels embarrassed and bows; "I'm sorry…"
"Kasumi, it seems you had a great date the other night…"
"Ehh" Kasumi blushes and begins to explain:
"Well, it was fine at first but it was later interrupted by the Chupacabras…"
Shion continues to explain; " The Chupacabras was defeated successfully with the help of Uriel however…"
Shion changes her expression, Johanna looks suspicious and asks:
"What happened?”
“We saw El Charro Negro’s power and it was frightening…”
“Fufufu, well, he is assigned as a Catastrophe threat level by my agency...it’s better to keep him as an ally…”
“Right…”
Kasumi looks at Shion; “Shion, don’t say that, he is my master’s son...and I like that aggressive attitude of his…”
Johanna and Shion stare at Kasumi; “Senpai, are you a masochist?”
“Look, there he is..” Johanna points at the window, they look at Uriel heading to the front gate. Suddenly, Kasumi gets angry with a red aura of jealousy.
“Uriel, you cheater…” Kasumi sees Uriel with a group of girls talking to him.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!
