The thieves' whole gang was crouched down next to a corner of a building right next to the manor they were going to raid. Max turned to the group in front of him, face grave,
"This is it, the big-time boys. Everyone got what they need?", the group looked at each other before nodding in affirmative,
"Good, now remember what I told you. Be quick and silent. When I give you the signal, we run. We don't leave anyone behind." Tim and Jasper gave murmurs of agreement, while the big, bulky thief grunts before they sneak into the manor.
They all separate into their designated paths, all of them being quiet as a door mouse as they search for valuable items to steal. Jasper was checking rooms, taking anything of value, and then moving on to the next room. Tim was scurrying about the halls, eyes wide and sparkling as he steals paintings, vases, and other valuable nick-knacks. The biggest of the thieves becomes lookout, ready to give the signal at any moment.
After a few hours of the oldest thieves finally gives the signal, everyone having a pretty sizable bag of goods as they headed to the east wing of the manor. Everyone whispered among each other about the big haul they got and how well they will live from now one. The excitement was short-lived when the silent thief saw an officer coming towards them, shouting an alarm, and the group gathers their things and runs away quickly, but it was too late.
The officer saw them, blowing on a whistle around his neck to alert the other officers before chasing after them yelling loudly. The gang of thieves weaved through the halls, trying to lose him as more officers followed with dogs. They were almost there, but the officers were to close to them, and Jasper stops then turns to face the crowd of officers and dogs. Tim skids to a halt, looking back at him,

"What are you doing!? Come on!" He shakes his head, giving them a strained smile, "Go, I'll be fine."
The rat-like thief opens his mouth to protest, but he was grabbed by the forearm by Max and dragged away, he stares at the stilled thief in terror with wide eyes. The big boss gives one last look at him before they leave, and then they all escape. Jasper stood his ground as the officers finally got to him, weapons raised, and when a few officers came over him to grab him, he started fighting back. He threw the hands off him, running towards the exit and got tackled in the process. Jasper struggles hard as they tied his hands up, and he looked back at the exit as he is lead away.

8 96The Flame in the Forge (A Slice of Life Isekai LitRPG)
Thrown into a world he doesn’t recognise, Niall Vendra has to adapt, learn and fight to survive. Physically, emotionally, personally. If Niall wants to save his family, then the man he was needs to transform. Surrounded by Minotaurs, Fae and Magic, Niall will have to reinvent himself as both a warrior and an artisan. Growth won’t be fast and it won’t be easy, but with patience and hard work, Niall can earn the Skills, Abilities and Classes to battle his way to the top. The Flame In The Forge is a LitRPG Isekai/Portal fantasy. You should expect slice of life with conflict and an overarching mystery to be solved. Niall will be both a crafter (primarily, but not exclusively, as a blacksmith) and a fighter. There won’t be a harem. But don't worry, there will be both flames and forges! I should be clear that while this is very much LitRPG, it's story led and I have tried to make it feel believable. So, for example, the first blue box doesn't appear until chapter 6. I hope that the payoff is worth it. Compared to some LitRPGs you may find the pace rather gentle at times. There will be some periods where it feels like Niall is eking out every level and others when, for good reasons, he makes a significant leap. My goal though is to give you a satisfying story, so that dictates when and how Niall's stats and skills change. I can reassure you that I fully intend for Niall to become immensely powerful, but I want you to feel like he has earned every level in a realistic way.
8 178Saints and Suffering: A Naruto Fanfiction
Synopsis: Naruto and Sasuke were unable to defeat Kaguya the first time around, and suffer immensely for their failure. They travel back in time to right their wrongs, but struggle with the repercussions of their failure and the unintended consequences of their actions. Author's Note: This is fanfiction, I am a first time author, and I make no claims nor guarantees to quality. I have another story floating around in my head, but I am writing this first in order to practice my skills and gain feedback. Please feel free to give constructive criticism, I will try to read and respond. No guarantees to upload schedule or speed will be made. I work a full time job, and I am not particularly fast at writing, though maybe speed will increase as I become more practiced with my storytelling. This work will essentially be my playground moving forward; I'm going to write about scenarios that tickle my fancy, and the overall story may suffer from it. I will endeavor to keep continuity though. I have an outline that I am working on, and there is an overall arc to the story already. Furthermore, as of the beginning of this novel, my intention with this novel is to explore negative emotions and use my writing as a form of meditation/therapy. When I am sad, I will write sad things, and when I'm happy, the story will be happy. Lastly, there will be religious undertones every once in a while. Hopefully nothing too heavy handed though.
