《Adopted By Laurenzside》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Yesterday was my younger sisters 2st birthday. Oh yeah, I have two sisters one older named Marlee. The younger one is Luna. Mommy and Daddy picked Luna because mommy liked and It means Moon. But Marlee was adopted and already had her name. Along with me.
My name is Carter. Middle child of Lauren and Bobby. 5 years old. I just joined kindergarten a week ago. Momma said I'm going to pass with flying honors. Daddy says um the smartest out of all of my class.
Daddy and Mommy say Marlee is the best at figuring mysteries out every time we watch a mystery movie Marlee can guess who it is as soon as she meets them. She knows who to tell if anyone is lying. But if you tell her a secret she knows how to keep it.
Luna even though she is only 2 she can walk and talk she is the nicest and sweetest girl you have ever met. She will always listen to anything you talk about and she is even a better keeper of secrets then Marlee.
"Carter finish your milk." My momma says pulling me out of my thoughts. I look up at my momma and smile, she smiles back but then Luna drops her bowl and mom groans going to clean it up.
"You alright there Cart?" Mar asks me putting her hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah I'm fine." I say shaking my head.
Just then Dad comes running in locking the doors. Marlee jumps up and mom holds Luna bouncing her up and down but looking confused at Dad.
"There is a man out there killing people. Yesterday he killed someone. Today he killed someone!" Marlee runs over to dad and hugs him. I run over hugging him as well.

"I'll get to the bottom of this." Marlee says. All of us clean off the table as mom puts Luna in a play pen letting her play with the toys.
"Do we have any leads?" Marlee asks and Dad hands her two newspapers. She looks around them and makes a board. We hang it up. Marlee looks at it. "I got nothing" she says but still looking at it like it may have an actual mystery.
"Alright bit until the cops find the person, no school, and no going out side or friends houses. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes Mam." Marlee says still looking at the board adjusting new things.
"Yes momma." I say watching mom pick up Luna and carrying her to Marlee and her bedroom.
This is going to be one heck of a week.

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.

Cardinal of Sin
They say sin comes at a horrible price. Or...perhaps I'm misremembering the saying. Regardless, I'm usually inclined to agree with the aforementioned statement. When one is held hostage by their own carnal instincts; never being able to fully control their primitive impulses...Well, let's just say, it would destroy a lesser man. That, I know. I died because of my lack of self-control, after all. I must admit, though. I didn't expect to change this belief of mine after meeting my end, but here I am. Breathing. In a world I don't belong; a world of magic. Here I am, whisked into another reality with the power to sin. To conquer.
