《Hidden》Chapter 1: hidden in Plain sight
Advertisement
If one was to ask the girls classmates what they thought of her most of them would say she was quiet with no real prescence. However it was this lack of presence that helped the girl in many different ways, especially in her line of work.
The girl was not the world's best fighter, nor was she the world's best killer she was however the world's best assassin. Due to her complete lack of prescence she was easily able to get close to any target and kill them effortlessly, afterall an assassins job wasn't to fight but rather to kill cleanly with one swipe and then to leave unnoticed, which was precisely what the girl had always done.
Of course none of this was known to her classmates, to them she was just the quiet girl in the corner of the classroom. No one saw through her disguise and no one ever would, unless of course she wanted them to, not that she ever would.
And so it was on a perfectly normal day that the girl as usual sat down at the back of the classroom passively listening to the mundane conversations of her classmates when all of a sudden a giant circle illuminating the floor appeared.
"What's going on?!?" screamed a majority of the class while the girl just sat at the back of the room quiet as ever trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, nothing she could do would change anything anyway so why bother doing anything at all?
Those were the girls last thoughts as the circle let out a glaringly blinding light and she found herself on the floor of what looked to be a great hall. Looking around she saw all her classmates on the floor with her inside the lingering lines of the glowing circle.

Surrounding the circle were twelve old men in white robes carrying staffs, all of whom were sweating profusely. "Welcome sacraf..I mean heroes, we welcome you to this world." said a large man dressed in lavish jewels who was standing behind the circle of old men "My name is Duke Alter and it is my pleasure to welcome you the heroes to our world."
The girl stood hiding at the back of the students to avoid standing out and had a small frown on her face, this didn't sound promising. The Duke continued to talk "now I'm sure you all have a lot if questions so if you follow me to the throne room the king will explain everything."
Slowly and without much protest the assembled students followed the Duke towards the throne room. Upon entering the room immediate focus was drawn to the large and smiling man at the front of the room sitting on a golden throne "welcome heroes, my name is King Aeon and I have summoned you to this world to beg for your aid in defeating the demon king."
The king sighed "I am sorry I stole you from your original world, but I am a selfish king who couldn't bare to see his people suffer even at the cost of involving innocent bystanders. So please if you must hate someone hate me and please help me to defend my people." as he said this tears appeared from the corner of the Kings eyes as he looked at the students as if begging for forgiveness.
Will, the most popular boy in the class took a step forward and bowed lightly "I may not be of much help but I will aid you in defeating the demon." the king smiled "thank you, thank your so much." Slowly one by one the rest of the class stood forward and pledged their aid, no one noticed that amongst the students there was one small girl who had said nothing, but then again that was exactly what she wanted.

Following one of the soldiers the students were led out of the hall, the girl hidden amongst the other students snorted in her mind "idiots don't believe anyone just because they have a sob story to back it up Iv seen those eyes before, those are clearly the eyes of a politician you've just been played and you don't even know it."
sighing the girl decided for now the best thing to do would just be to remain hidden in Plain sight until she had enough information to leave. Afterall if there were politicians in this world there would definitely be assassins, that was one thing she had learned from all her years as an assassin smiling the girl continued to hide within the group.

At The Precipice
Defenseless. Scared. Alone. That describes the life of Brock Carter as of late. Following his ‘death’ at the hands of a vicious magpie, Brock is rescued by the machinations of the newly instated, all-powerful System and thrust knee-deep into a brutal world catered only to the strong. Fluctuating between two states of being and trapped within a city ravaged by time, he is told to either seek out the mysterious ‘Source’, or die trying. He just hopes he can do it without scuffing his expensive suit in the process. ***** Honestly, I've just always wanted to write a story. I had a crack at it a few years back, but the entire thing fell apart before it even began. At The Precipice was originally written as a way for me to destress and play with System elements and characters, but eventually I decided that if I was gonna write, why not post it too? Writing's just a hobby of mine, so don't expect this to be at published novel level, I guess, or even anything of relative polish. Updates every Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs-Fri Average chapter length is 2000 - 3000 words ***** What to expect: - A semi-comedic/light tone, mixed in with a gritty world and brutal survival (not ever grimdark though) - An MC that thinks about what he's going to do and why he'll do it, even if his internal logic is lacking. Is a rather rational person, not often influenced by his emotions, but can be in extreme situations. - A plot heavily focused upon the MC, but one that will branch off to envelope the other characters in the world at times. Often, it's just other people's perspectives of him. - A story of power growth. While the MC is certainly going to be powerful, even over 100 chapters in from what I've written, he still isn't the strongest being on Earth, let alone the entire Multiverse. - Lots of gore, vivid fight descriptions, and often times deaths of people, some even somewhat important to the story ***** Things this story will never have: - Harems - An edgy, villainous MC - An MC that does jackshit about things for 'plot reasons'

The Hawkshaw Inheritance
The Hawkshaw Inheritance is a completed story, with twenty chapters in total. For as long as almost anyone can remember, a small percentage of people have possessed fantastic gifts. Superhuman strength, speed, and smarts are just a few of the many such abilities on record. Some choose to exploit these powers for personal gain, but most use them for the benefit of their fellow man. Thanks to these people, who we call superheroes, the world is safe. The reality is a little more complicated. Most heroes are content to stop the supervillain and pose for the cameras. But it takes more than a few costumed cops and superpowered celebrities to save the world. Humanity is in danger from forces that ordinary heroes are woefully unequipped to handle. But neither they nor the public will ever be aware of the danger they are in, thanks to the efforts of the Council. For more than twenty years, the world's most powerful, influential, and intelligent metahumans have worked tirelessly in secret to protect the world, and subtly steer it on a better course.

Now it falls to his protege to take up the mantle of Hawkshaw, learn the truth of his mentor's disappearance, and uncover the secrets of the most powerful people in the world... as well as what they're willing to do to keep those secrets buried.
