《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 26: My Luck Sucks
Advertisement
I managed to get away from the giant douche. I then wondered around the party meeting people for a couple hours before finally meeting up with Rocinante.
“Hey Nick. so how was your conversation?”
“Don’t, just don’t. I’ve never had to exert more self control in my life. So don’t bullshit me and let's just share information.”
“Wow, he was that bad? I really am a good judge of character huh. I knew he was gonna be annoying.”
“Please stop. I am really drained so please just stop.”
After the back and forth we proceeded to share our intel. As we were talking there was a loud crash. And what we turned we saw was a huge chandelier on the floor with several people crushed. I immediately start to look around and see two people who clearly do not belong. One was lanky, had a large blond mohawk, and was in leather clothing. The other was well built, bald, and wearing sweatpants with a tank-top. The doors then slam shut with a loud bang.
“You people are now our hostages. Now get on the floor and or die in the name of the holy one. Hahahaha” Said the lanky man in a high pitched deranged voice
When one person tried to subdue him, the bald guy got in his way and punched him. That one punch obliterated the head into chunks of flesh. With that panic spread and some people tried to open the doors but they ended up just falling over for no notable reason. The rest just proceeded to get on the floor and wait for what’s to come.
During this Rocinante pointed out the tattoo on the of both them. It was a skull with a heart in the background. This was the symbol of the Genesis cult, a group bent on destruction. They have been quiet the past few years because of the imprisonment of their leader.
My luck can’t get any better.

Single Mother Cultivator: Determination to deny her naïve son a terrible destiny
Lucia Martinez had to fight for every little victory in her life, especially when she was responsible for raising a teenage son by herself. But when the teen gets summoned to another world by a dysfunctional martial sect as their would-be savior, she’ll have to fight harder than ever just to get him back. Brought along to a world of Eastern fantasy, Lucia finds herself face to face with obscure magical creatures, various rich cultures, and a familiar yet unique chi-based magic system that every faction has their own way of looking at. Single Mother Cultivator is as the title suggests, a Cultivation novel. Unlike other Cultivation stories, this one focuses on multiple Asian mythologies rather than just Chinese myth, and isn’t just a generic power fantasy. It explores the very nature of strength itself, and how it could and should be used. The foundational power system is the same for both major factions, with differences in their philosophies on how to pursue it. New chapters on Mon-Wed-Fri

Eater of Spirits
Story is abandoned. There will be no more updates on it. Jarod is kind of a loser, as it goes with these stories. A tear in his reality pulls him into another world, where he gains the ability to devour spirits, the locus of magic within the world. This is far from my first foray into fiction, but it is my first time posting anything to royal road, and first time writing LitRPG. This is an exercise in putting things out there, and just writing. That means that all of this is going to be a first draft, where edits may come sparsely if there is a glaring issue or something I think should be better. Thanks for reading!
