《The Midnight Man》Chapter 4 - Downstairs
Advertisement
They all shuffled quickly down the stairs into the living room. It was only 10 past 12.00, so they still had a long time until the game was over.
After chilling in the living room for about an hour, they started to think that this stupid game, really was just a stupid game. The only thing they had experienced in an hour of this game, was the occasional candle going out or flickering. But that was easily explainable. They were about to go upstairs again, when it finally got interesting.
They started hearing faint footsteps around the house, and they started hearing doors creak open and slam closed upstairs. They were all too scared to go up there, so they decided to stay where they were. They were all thinking the same thing: What if this is real, and the midnight man is actually looking for us upstairs.
About half an hour later they noticed something....
"Ummm guys, we did turn off All of the lights in the house, right?" Asked Colby pointing at a light coming from behind the door.
"NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NOOOO!!! WE CANT HAVE ANY LIGHTS ON!!!!!" Screamed Sam, panicking. He sprinted to the room and opened the door, to find a light turned on. He walked inside and reached for the switch on the far side of the room.
SLAM!
The door slammed behind him and locked, trapping him inside.
"MY CANDLE! MY CANDLE! HELP! IT WENT OUT! I NEED THE LIGHTER!" Screamed Sam as he pounded hard on the door.
"NO, SAM! WHO HAS THE LIGHTER!?!? KATRINA!?!? JAKE?!?! NO, NO, NO WE NEED THE-"
"COLBY!" Katrina screamed, "CALM DOWN! PANICKING WILL NOT HELP SAM GET OUT OF THERE!"
Sam was now trapped in a small room, with no light and no lighter. The smoke from the extinguished candle filled the room with a familiar but terrifying smell. The gap under the door was too small to pass anything through, and the lighter was outside with Kat, Jake and Colby. Sam thought that he was alone, but he was not. The midnight man had found him, and he was about to find out what really happens when he catches you...

Post War Rules
Life on Torus Terminal is usually fast paced, but simple. A frontier Terminal has little room for easy living, but the great, circular station does boast shopping and culinary experiences from many Imperial races and cultures. Any star is, by its nature, extremely far from its neighbors. But laser highways, and the great shimmering sails of the light-rider spaceships make the trip into only about ten years. Still, the denizens of Torus Terminal eagerly await the day when the Anti-Euclidean Engine their station is built around finally comes online. Once that is done, they will have unfettered access to the entire Empire. Instantaneous travel and trade across hundreds of stars. Torus Terminal does boast one other oddity: a creature which calls itself Human. As he says, the last of his kind for now. He has made quite the life for himself on Torus Terminal, especially in the darker corners of the station. The elites of Torus Terminal praise his name, for once he took up arms, crime began to fall. What they did not realize was that was because he had claimed the seedy underbelly of Torus Terminal for himself and his own goals. The elites praise him as a paragon of law. The criminals fear him as a ruthlessly clever crime boss. Those closest to him, know him as the General. This story was originally posted on the Humanity Fuck Yeah subreddit, where it evolved from a simple play on a historical figure in a science fiction setting into a full blown space opera. I kind of took it as an opportunity to explore a setting I've had rolling around in my head for years. I also decided that it would be nice to have it in a place where I could more easily come back and edit it later, so I'm reposting it here. Here's a link to the original posting if you're interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/e9cwpl/post_war_rules/ If my genre and tagging is subpar, let me know. I'm still new to Royal Road and I'm open to help. Feel free to comment and make suggestions, or discuss. I love comments, and so long as we keep things civil I also love criticism.

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
