Mafia ~
an organized international body of criminals, operating originally in Sicily and now especially in Italy and the US and having a complex and ruthless behavioural code.
Amelia's P.O.V
"Ur in the what?!" I yelled standing up
"We are in the Italian Mafia" Jason spoke up
"And I'm the leader" Adam said standing up to his full 6'6 height
I choked on air
"Ur-ur the leader? OF A FUCKING ITALIAN MAFIA?!" I shouted
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath trying to control myself, once I had regained my composure I questioned him
"When?" I said opening my eyes to look him in the eye
"From the age of 18" he said
"18?! When mum and dad died?!" I said
"Why? To get enough money for us?! You could have got a normal job plus mum and dad already saved a lot of money for us U didn't need to become a fucking gang leader!" I shouted
"I don't understand why would the cousins need to be involved?!" I said
"That's the thing, u don't understand" Elliot said standing up too
"Sit down" he said to which I nodded and sat back down at my seat
"Do u know why mum and dad died?" Danny said
"Yes they went on a vacation and a drunk driver hit them" I said looking down
"No" Chris said
"What?" I said snapping my head up to meet his
"That's what u guys told me" I said
"Amelia they were part of the mafia more or less dad was the leader" Chris continued
What
That's not possible why would they be the leaders?
They were kind people
They couldn't have murdered
"Wait if a drunk driver didn't hit them what happened" I said
"They were out on a duty abroad and whilst they were on there way back here the were murdered by the russian mafia" Jason said
My eyes widened
Murdered?
Jason stood up and sat next to me
He pulled me into him and wrapped his arms around me
I was shocked
"Let me explain everything to u from the start" Adam said holding my hands when Jason let go of me

I nodded my head and embraced myself for everything
"I never knew about any of this until the day i turned 16 mum explained everything to me and told me how if anything was to happen to them that I would have to become the leader and explain everything to the boys and make them join. It's the family's legacy. When I asked what to do about u mum told me to tell u when ur old enough and train u to make u stronger because she knew u would be amazing in the mafia but dad was always hesitant on telling u because he knew that u were the weakness of all of us boys so if our rivals found out about u then they would use u to hurt us" Adam said stopping to see if I was catching on
I nodded my head urging him to continue
"The day I found out about our parents death I told all the boys about it with the help of Elliot and Brandon as they already knew and they had to include Noah too. We decided to keep it a secret from u because we didn't want u to get pulled into the darker side of the family but I guess fate had his its own way of working out" he finished
I took a deep breath sinking everything in
"I've got a question" I said
"Why is our last name Gonzalez if we are in an Italian Mafia aren't we supposed to have an Italian type name instead of a Spanish one?" I said
The boys chuckled and shook their head
"My real name is Lorenzo Alfonso russi" Adam said
I blinked twice
"What the fuck" I said
"I'm just kidding" he said laughing
I rolled my eyes and punched him playfully
"U haven't answered my question" I said
"Gonzalez is our cover name our real last name is Valentino" Adam said
"Amelia Valentino Damn that sounds sexy" I said causing the boys to look at me with weird glances
"U think that sounds sexy Noah Valentino sounds the sexiest out of all our names" Noah said flipping his imaginary hair

"True" I said nodding my head in agreement
"So baby are u okay with it?" Adam said holding my hands to his chest
"Have u guys ever murdered anyone innocent?" I asked
"Never it's one of our biggest rules non dobbiamo mai ferire qualcuno innocente" (we are never to hurt anyone innocent)
My eyes widened
"U speak Italian?" I questioned
"facciamo tutti il mio amore"(we all do my love) Dean said
"So u all got to learn Italian and I don't what type of bullshit is this" I said putting my hands on my hips
"Oi I thought I already said no potty mouthing in my home" Elliot said pointing a finger at me
"I just found out my family is part of the Italian Mafia and my brother is the leader I think I could get a pass on swearing" I said
"Okay just this one time" Elliot mumbled
"I'll teach u Italian Tesoro" (treasure) Adam said
"So do u accept it? Ur not scared" Brandon said
Mum and dad were part of it
I need to do this
For them
"I'm fine it's quite exciting really OMG DO I GET A GUN" I said jumping up and down squeeling
Everyone's eyes widened
"No u are not allowed to" Adam said shaking his head
"Ha Ha" Dean said putting his middle finger up at me
"Shut up its not like u guys get one either" I said sticking my tongue out at the others
Each and everyone of them brought a gun out from their waist and pointed it at me
"U sure bout that principessa" Dean said smirking at me as my jaw was left open
"So u just carry a gun around on u at all times that not normal" I said
"Who said we were normal" Chris said shrugging
"Yall are sexist" I said crossing my arms and huffing
"Your very young that's why we aren't giving u one" Danny said
"Jason gets one and he's a year older than me what type of sick fuckery is that" I said
"I only gave u one pass on swearing young lady" Elliot said pointing his finger at me
I rolled my eyes at him and sat back down
All of a sudden a thought came to my mind
"Oh shit" I said
"What's wrong" Jackson said
"Liam I totally forgot liam saw u guys murder the guy too" I said looking at them with wide eyes
"About that what the fuck were u doing with him" Chris said
"Don't play the overprotective brother card on me right now" I said
"We will just kill him" Dean said shrugging his shoulders
"What happened to wé döntè kill ze innocente" I said using a stupid Italian pizza guy voice
The guys looked at me half of them face palmed whilst the others shakes their heads
"How the fuck are we related" dean said
"Shut up I didn't get private Italian lessons like u guys" I said crossing my arms
"We are self taught dumbass we've been learning it since we were young" Jackson said
"No wonder u guys have an Italian accent when u speak it" I mumbled
"But Liam what about Liam??!" I shouted
"Chill we will speak to him about it" Jason said
I nodded my head hesitantly
"Uh guys u know the guy Adam kinda hurt yesterday" I said
They all nodded their heads in response
"U guys were asking "where is he" who are u trying to find?" I said
"Mum and dads murderers" Chris said
My eyes widened for about the 20th time today
"Can I help?" I said
A sudden choruses of absolutely not, no, heck to the no, nope came much to my disappointment
I rolled my eyes and said
"U guys know the Russians killed them so just go find them"
"It's not that easy the leader of the russian mafia killed mum and dad but now we are trying to get to him through his son who we have absolutely no idea who he is" Danny said
"Except one thing" Brandon said
"His Fake last name that he uses is Ryder"

Re: Now I'm a Demon, So What?
Description An Isekai-Oriented LitRPG lite, Game of Thrones type (HBO version) set in alternate-Italy during the Renaissance. Warning! This story contains strong sexual themes. Most of it is incidental sexy stuff as opposed to romantic. There is also some sexual violence and themes of revenge and trauma. Synopsis Moments after being born, the cambion began to grow at an alarming rate and everyone wanted to kill him. He knew there was much he had forgotten... he had a life before. He longed to remember it, but the memory eluded him. Truly, this was a fantasy world of might and magic, but it felt familiar somehow. At any rate, the first priority is to survive. And that meant finding something to eat... Re: Now I'm a Demon, So What? is a story about an outworlder main character, who (as of this moment) discovers he absorbs the powers and aspect of that which he consumes through his devour ability. There are a number of other interesting characters you get to meet as the political landscape is unveiled. Bonus! You are encouraged to post comments regarding what you would like to see show up in future chapters! I would like this fiction to be shaped in large part by reader input, so please don't be shy! Thanks for reading this and hope to get to know you through the comments! Oh, and be nice! What I'm posting here is basically a first draft. If anything important in the early chapters gets edited I'll let you know in the author comments. Your feedback definitely gets weighed to help make the work better.

I was Summoned as a Hero, but I Became the Demon Lord Instead
"Ah, how I wish I could be summoned to another world." I’d always thought of such a naive wish of escapism would never be granted. However, shit happened and I was somehow summoned. However, in some strange twist of fate, I was no longer needed and disposed of, but that’s okay because I didn’t want to be a summoned hero to begin with. My new beginning may have been abruptly cut short, but even so, that is fine. There is a path I’m much more interested in. Mwuhahaha! Cough cough cough. Though, my sinister laugh may still need some practice. I was Summoned as a Hero , but I Became the Demon Lord Instead Volume 1 Word Count: 108K Including Volume Exclusive Content Available on Amazon Edit: If you don’t get the timeline that’s because the rate at which time flows in different worlds are not equal. In addition, timelines do not neccesarily run parallel to each other, they may cascade such that when summoned to another world you may get summoned from a different reference frame in the timeline of another world’s with respect to your own. Scientific constants can change from one plane to the next. The natural laws that govern each world is not necessarily the same across them all. Some may display similarities, while others may be the complete opposite where rather than aging forwards you actually age in reverse. Newborns could be born elderly and withered, but when they are born into the world, their body regresses towards death in reverse.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.

Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.

The Radiant War
The human world is aflame with war. Nations clash with their neighbours, while the Kelvon Empire, bulwark of the human world, stands on the brink of civil war. The plans of the enemies of mankind to destroy human civilisation, to restore their own mastery of the world, are well on the way to success. The people of Helberion have vowed to defeat those plans, though. Peace must be restored between the various peoples of mankind so that they can combine their efforts against their true enemy. Even while her country strives to avoid conquest and defeat at the hands of their traditional enemies the Carrowmen, therefore, Princess Ardria journeys to Carrow to meet with the enemy King in an almost hopeless attempt to persuade him of the truth. All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there? Because even if Helberion manages to defeat the all conquering armies of Carrow there is another, even deadlier threat waiting in the wings against which there may be no defence... This is volume three of the Ontogeny series. If you haven't read volume one, Ontogeny, and volume Two, The Electric Messiah, you should read them first.
