《8.29mm》Fun.

Drinking out of her third bottle of water she had bought for a mere 10 Engle Gu each, she stumbled out of the parking lot. It had been 2 miles in a canyon, and she wasn’t exactly in shape with her injuries. Hun stood straighter and walked with more dignity, swinging the large canvas bag at her side. Her hair swung in the bright sun, and caught the corner of her eye. It was still gleaming, impossibly black, and was quite thick. It hung all the way to her waist, as always, along with her canvas duffle bag. Hun doesn't even know why she checked to see if those things were still normal. After what felt like a year of walking, a large, expensive looking store loomed above Hun, casting its disgusting shadow upon a decent example of organized terrorism. Not even paying attention to the store or how much it seemed it cost to build, Hun just casually walked into the store. Its door made almost completely of glass slid open, with no sound and nearly no friction whatsoever. The marble floors, needing to be constantly buffed to remove scratches, gleamed. The well dressed people browsing the store glared intently at the ruffian who had entered their store. She was dirty, and her old boots covered in grime, with glass stuck in many places of her clothing. Her hair and face still remained untouched by dirt and grime, somehow. Hun herself started browsing. An arctic fox fur coat, soft and untouched, stood mightily on its own. It wasn’t just a simple coat, it was flooffy beyond compare. Hun felt like she needed to wash her hands before even touching it. So she ran to the public restroom, and did. Dead skin came off her hand, and the expensive exfoliating hand soap did its job very well. Feeling refreshed and very clean, Hun emerged from the expensive bathroom like a new person. She simply pulled out a wad of cash, handed it to the clerk, and came back with the jacket and a black armless sweater. The clerk looked kinda scared, then counted the proper amount and gave Hun her change. At least she was a customer. Feeling more comfortable in the store, Hun walked more confidently. Not only was the fur coat expensive, stylish and warm, but its flooffyness will hide the signature bump of my CV19 in its holster. She had yet to put on her purchases, but simply carried them on her arm around the store. She came across the watch section and chose a platinum wristwatch with a marble face and titanium arms. It was encrusted with diamonds and was accurate to a hundredth of a second for 9 years at a time. She simply picked it up with no regard to its price. Walking like she owned an entire country, she went around and looked at the wonders of modern fashion. A pair of shoes, that looked like socks attached to a base, for around 6,000 Gu. They were made by a company called Liu Liu, so she had to get them. After shopping for an astounding ten minutes, Hun brought her pile of expensive clothing to the register. No one expected a terrorist to wear a 1,000,000 Gu watch, right? The clerk available at the desk appeared as if she was dealing with a customer far above his pay grade, because he was. Just because a nice store clerk’s uniform is a tuxedo doesn’t mean he’s rich enough to own that uniform himself. He’d still be paying it off like a car loan. Ringing up the total, he squeaked like a trapped rat: “Your total will be 140,972 Gu.” Just like earlier, Hun whipped stacks of cash from the bag. “Excuse me ma'am, but this is too much.” Hun leaned over the counter to whisper in his ear. “I’ll let you keep it if you don’t tell anyone I was here, even the armed forces.” Allowing her to resume her relaxed position behind the counter, He sighed a comfortable distance away. “Ok... Just please don’t be tricking me into an arrest…” He put the required papyrus into the safe, and pocketed the leftover 90,000. As he did so, his arm turned in his pocket put tension on the collar. It opened just enough for Hun’s keen eyes to spot the seal. He is one, and I could even recruit him later if I so wished. The seal was not only a decorative necklace revealing your allegiance, but it could be used as a communication device. That’s how Hun knew the people that raised their hands at the bank were not Lolita. She simply sent out a wave, detecting locations of other seals. Hun, as an act of nice manners, displayed her seal to say: If you betray me, you are betraying a comrade. He clearly got the message. The nice part is about all this, is that you gain a seal for free for taking the Oath Of Loyalty To The Fen Church And Family, as the great Murasakino Fen thinks money is a filthy concept. Which it obviously is. As the kid put her items in the bag as he was trained to do, Hun was happy to be on her way. Shopping in the store was over, and now she would find a nice 10 star hotel to stay in before her flight. Rating things out of five was a terrible thing to do after all.

Origin
A group of college students find the last known warship from the Imperium, which came to Earth and started civilisation millenia ago. They will have to repair the ship, launch it back to space and then decide what to do with it. Will they restore the empire? Explore the galaxy? Or get up to unspeakably hilarious hijinks..... This is my first work, so please comment and critique as much as possible. This work is being migrated from Webnovel to Royal Road cause RR has a muuuuch better text editor and formatting options. I aim to release five chapters a week unless this catches on. In which case I'm happy to increase the release schedule up to 2 chapters a day based on readership.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
