《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 9: The Mall Job
Advertisement
The following day after my report, Claymore called off the mission. I tried to get some info out of him about why, but I was shut down. Now It’s three weeks later and we have a new task, It’s to destroy the local mall. Our goal is to fight the Guardians. After a bit of time we will be called back and it will be end of the job. That is all he told us, I don’t really understand what his goal is. I just know that ignorance is bliss and will leave it alone.
As we go in, Jet and I go to the food court and start rampaging. As I dump the hot nacho cheese sauce from the mexican stall in the food court area, Jet smashes the chairs and the tables. I am momentarily stunned by what I see, she first starts by smashing the chairs on the tables and they would explode. Then she throws up a chair and uses a table as a bat and sends it to the sports store shattering the windows. As this goes on, the civilians are running in terror. Regaining focus, I looted the cash register and then disconnected it and placing it behind a pillar. Then I went to the sandwich shop, dumped the condiments onto the food court area, and looted the cash register placing it behind a large potted plant.
After Jet finished demolishing the tables and chairs, she asked me, “What should we do now?”
“How about we line our packets, it’s not like we don’t have the time.” I responded.
“I would rather do something productive.”
“There is a sports store right there, you could find a good weapon there.”
“Fine, what will you do?”
“Loot.”
We then went to the sports store Jet went to the baseball isle, while I hit up the cash registers. As I was working on my third cash register, I found a cashier hiding under the counter. She is hugging her knees, with a face full of tears and mucus. I, being the kind person that I am, picked her up and tossed her out of the mall entrance and returned to the cash register.

I almost finished raiding the last register when the Guardians finally appeared.
“Are you ready?” I asked Jet.
“Yep.” She replied as she held brass knuckles with a discount label on them.
Damn, this could get vicious.

The Way Ahead
What do you do when you don't fit in? Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He didn't really need it, anyway. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe... not that there were many left to find. Modern-day research was just too well-established, too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make any significant headway. But that doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate much of society with little room for novel experimentation from its residents. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. Things are never that easy, though. The Way Ahead is a very slice-of-life story following the story of someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips by the System, and lots of exploration involving the world, self-discovery, and above all, science. After all, further research is always required. Updates every other day at 9 AM PST. Congratulations! For writing a story during the month of November, you have unlocked the Royal Road Writathon Participant path!
8 242My Multisystem In Isekai
Zavier met Cosmic Consciousness after his death. He was satisfied with every system that Cosmic Consciousness exhibited, so he wanted all of them. Surprisingly, the Cosmic Consciousness obliged him. Zavier was reborn in an isekai full of magic and alchemy. Now, he had many routes to upgrade. Interestingly, to coordinate these systems, Cosmic Consciousness gave him the gift of being able to duplicate himself. He could clone a finite number of himself to manipulate these systems. Magus, Alchemist, Mesmer, Tamer, Hunter, Vampire, Werewolf, Dragonknight, Necromancer..... ----- It will be a story that focuses on combat and levelup but still has many mature contents. I've read a lot of fiction about cool systems, so I wanted to try one. So many amusing ideas popped up that I didn't know how to choose the best one. After a long time, I decided to blend them into one story. So the MC will have many routes to upgrade and, of course as well, many pretty female characters. I can't wait to share these with you guys!

Now that he was back, he swore to get revenge.He was known as the Dark Lord.AN: My second book written, probably a bit confusing overall. There is definitely some mistakes in it, but I will keep it as it as. This book is over two years old but was finished about a year ago. Beware, there's definitely a bit of mistakes and editing errors that I never caught.
