《Mine (LenxMiku/Lenku/MikuxLen)》17
Advertisement
As we walk to class, I can't help but feel Len's burning stare.
"Hey, what's your deal?" I ask him, raising an eyebrow wickedly.
He shook his head like he was trying to get out of some sort of trance, and his cheeks tinted pink.
Probably from embarrassment.
"S-Sorry, I was spacing out..." Looking down at me, he smiled.
I made a 'hmph' noise and continued walking forward. Since when does he have the right to gawk at me like a hairy monkey at the zoo?
We all went our separate ways, and I sighed.
I hate being lonely, I repeated in my head, and then bumped into someone...
Neru.
Oh hell no. We all know what happened the last time I was alone with her.
I tried walking past her, and she stopped me. However, it was not in her usual aggressive way.
"I need to talk to you."
"I can't," I respond quickly.
"Why?" She asks, tilting her head innocently as if she hasn't broken my leg.
She bats her long eyelashes that match mine, and pouts her slightly plumpish limps.
"Because I need to get to class."
"I understand. Meet me at lunch."
She understands? What got into her? I can see her smiling warmly out of the corner of my eye, which she rarely does.
It's a fake smile.
"Neru, dear, come into the kitchen, please," Mother called me, and I followed.
I love being pampered by my mother. It makes me feel... rich and spoiled.
"Yes, mother?" I asked, popping my head into the kitchen.
"Closer, please. I can't stand one sided conversations, Neru, you know that~" She puffed seductively as if I was one of her sex slaves. Gross. I didn't mind the loud noises coming from the bedroom, as long as I got what I wanted.

I always got what I wanted.
Her long, slender finger beckoned me over, gold eyes shining with pure delight.
"I need you to pull something on the Hatsunes." By the sound of that, I grinned.
Oh, I can't wait 'till I tell my dad, Kenji Hachune all about this! He'll be proud.
His last name sounds like it's mispronounced... strange.
"Of course, mother! What can I do?"
"I need you to marry Mikuo Hatsune." My eyes widened in shock.
Mikuo? That gross kid that probably doesn't have a chance with anyone other than that blonde girl?
"B-But mommy, I-"
"Remember my name, Akita."
"But... mother, I-I don't love him. I want to marry Len. That's the reason why I started torturing Miku and her family in the first place! She's getting in my way." I pout. I'm not used to having things ripped away from me.
I'm lucky. With all the others, my mother made abortions.
She chose to bring me into the world.
"Oh, I know, sweetie," she said, her fingers twirling around my hair. I'm not aloud to cut it.
"Right after you get a hold of his money, you can kill him. Then you'll be so rich that Len will just fall for you immediately," Mother let go of my hair and looked up at me, considering the fact that she was sitting down on an oak chair, sipping coffee normally, like she just didn't talk about murdering someone.
It all hit me.
Len wouldn't fall for girls who kill. Len wouldn't fall for girls who hurt.
Len would fall for someone behind the looks.
I would never kill anyone. Maybe hurt them a bit, but it's not murder. I would never murder.
Once I told my Miku problem to my mother, and she said to hurt her.

I hesitated, but I did it.
Look at where that got me.
Nowhere.
I can't do this anymore. I never felt full when hurting the Hatsunes anyway. I felt... bitterly guilty.
"I-I can't murder someone, mother.. even I wouldn't go as low as that," I frowned.
"I command you. You follow my command. It's murder or be murdered, Neru dear. Pick one."
My own mother would actually consider murdering me?
What kind of sick house do I live in?
"Y-Yes, mother.." I bow, and I almost start crying.
I know I can't be with Len.
I know I can't murder Mikuo, no matter how irritating.
I know I can't get a happy ending. That only means that others .
And they will.
A week had past of thinking, planning, and groaning, even up to now.
I should do something...
If I'm not killed by then.
I snap out of the small flashback, and rub my temples. 29 days to seduce Mikuo.
I better do it fast. Quick and painful.
No, don't do that to them! It's not their fault that Len doesn't like you! It's yours. It's your mother's. Please... make peace with them. Fight her together!
I debated what I should do in my head.
It'll take long for me to befriend them, anyways, a part of my mind retorted.
Double the time to seduce one of them!
I almost yelled stop. At myself. God, that would've been embarrassing.
My mother's pampers are just bribes. Lies. Signs that no one cares for you. Signs of pure... mimicry.
I'll dong know if I should fight with them against her.
I don't know if I can even call her my mother anymore.
I'll call her by her true name.
The word escaped my lips as if it was some sort of sacred ancestor.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements.
