《Life of a person who was transported into another world》Chapter 8: I Trained Them So Well...

Although she was old and had less power than before, it was not up to the extent that she could not resist the power of a vision. A realization popped off in her head as she gazed at the plate on the table beside her. Her eyes widened in shock as she remembered the stupid maid that gave her food.
But suddenly, the dark ball vibrated, and she quickly refocused his attention on writing what happened. However, reality was cruel, the effects of the food made her trembling hands feel listless and sluggish. Her once pink face turned pale as countless of sweat came down from his forehead.
She lightly cursed under her breath seeing that only a few words were written in the course of thirty seconds. In that course of thirty seconds, she felt that the visions from the ball continued to fade away like snow melting in summer. If she could not transcribe what's left in the vision, then it would be entirely forgotten, and she could not recover it again.
But she, who was once a highly positioned Foreseer, did not give up and instead she steeled her heart and bit her tongue. With a shout that could chop irons and sever nails, she converted what's left of her little life to power so that she could write the remaining visions in her memories.
Five minutes have passed since she converted her life, the parchment has drips of blood on it and sloppily written characters. However, a wide smile spread on her face once she read the words that she had written. Tears came down from her eyes, and her body shook from tiredness.
Her body fell down with a loud 'thump,' and so did her heartbeat 'I have fulfilled my promise, I'm coming up my beloved...'

"Dammit, who would have thought that she would die because of a sleeping powder."
The maid continued to frown as she made her way to one of the Elder's chamber. Two guards were guarding the First Elder's door, and when they saw one of the favorite maids of the king coming towards them, the two guards quickly gave a salute - which was a bow and a fist on their chest.
Seeing the two guards in front of her, her previous frowning expression immediately disappeared, and it was replaced by a bright smile. She approached the two guards and bowed slightly.
"I have an order from the Majesty to meet the First Elder," the maid asked softly
The two guards perked their ears when the person in front of them started speaking. With a voice, that seemed to be coated with honey, they felt their legs tremble just by listening to how sweet it is. If any other men will hear this, they would likely feel their third leg stand up with no hesitation.
But these two guards are quite different and was trained by the First Elder. They only smiled and knocked the door to alert their Master.
"Master, Young Lady Amelia was ordered by the Majesty to see you."
There was no response in the first three seconds but on the fourth one, a lively voice could be heard from the inside. "Let her in."
The two guards quickly pulled the handleset as they heard the voice inside the room. Amelia quickly strode off with confidence that she did not previously have when she talked to the king.
The guards closed the door and looked at each other. A broad perverted smile could be seen on their faces as a large bulge between their legs suddenly appeared. The guard on the left raised his right arm and made a grasping motion that he moved towards his own butt.

As soon as he saw that, a smirk appeared on the face of the guard standing on the right. He whistled softly as he gave his companion a thumbs up. After that, he closed his hands into a fist and formed a circle on the left. While on the right hand he closed his hands except for his middle finger and he quickly stabbed through the circle repeatedly.
His companion was quite confused at first, but seeing the repeated actions of his friend he slowly came to an understanding. Like a monk who was in enlightenment, his perverted smile became wider. If one saw this scene, they would not believe how depraved these holy knights are.
They continued doing funny actions, but when they heard a person going outside from the door, their slouched backs immediately straightened up and their perverted smiles quickly vanished. It could be said that this kind of acting would make any actors back on Earth look like a joke.
The closed door slowly opened as a lithe figure appeared. She gave a slight bow to the First Elder and got out of the chamber. After giving the information to the First Elder, she immediately went out to the other elders.
When the maid disappeared from their view, the two guards quickly looked back at the room and saw their Master was smiling broadly. They gave their Master a quick thumbs up as they closed the door. The First Elder frowned seeing this, but when the door closed, he immediately chuckled with a delight expression on his face. "Ah, this Senior trained them so well."

[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

After three centuries, post-industrial civilization threatens to shatter. Megacorporations accrue enormous power by linking together nations turned insular in the aftermath of yesterday's global multilateralism; a reinvigorated United Nations threatens the crumbling sovereignty of state by enforcing human rights independently of member nations, and the UN and others patrol for mass destruction technologies in the ever-accelerating, ever-democratizing arms race. Another environmental collapse looms, visions of the last haunting memories and consciences of the lower and middle classes around the globe. That is the reality that virtual child Colton is rehabilitated into. A system shock, a brave new world and above all a regurgitation. Rescued from being a tool in cyberspace and grown a new body, Colton couldn't care less about the new meatspace world. He wants to go back, back to the electronic glow that was his home. - - - - This is a MyNoWriMo entry. Lesser known than NaNoWriMo, MyNoWriMo takes place in January and is otherwise exactly the same. The goal is to finish this as quickly as possible and then possibly circle back and tidy things up. In the meantime there'll be no editing and helter-skelter story planning since I didn't do it beforehand :/
