"So wait now instead of running unopposed, you've got three opponents?" Thea asked after Laurel had told the team.
"Yep, Blood and Pollard I've heard of. Blood's an alderman in the Glades and Pollard's a member of the city council." Laurel said.
"Who is incredibly anti vigilante might I add." Roy said.
"Yeah, but I've never heard of Ruve Adams." Laurel said.
"Guys, we have another problem." Sara said as she joined them.
"Great, what now?" Oliver asked.
"I've been keeping tabs on known League safe houses and assets in the city. One of them just became active." Sara said.
"Wait, the League of Assassins is in the city?" Oliver asked, though he'd been expecting this ever since he heard that Ruve Adams had come onto the scene, since that could only mean one thing.
"Yep. I haven't made contact with them yet because I thought it might be a good idea to have some backup." Sara said.
"You and I will go investigate this, since we're the only ones here with any experience with the League. If they're in my city I want to know why." Oliver said and Sara nodded as they moved to suit up.
"You sure this is the place?" Green Arrow asked White Canary as they arrived at the safehouse.
"Positive." White Canary said.
"Okay then, let's go get some answers." Green Arrow said as he fired an arrow towards the building, creating a cable for them to zip across, crashing right through the window to see about a dozen League members of waiting for them.
"Huh, only 12 guys." Green Arrow said.
"Yeah, they should've brought more." White Canary said.
"There is no need for that." a familiar voice said and much to their shock, Ra's al Ghul walked out from behind his men.

"Ra's al Ghul. What brings you all the way out to Star City?" White Canary asked, trying to place peacemaker, since Green Arrow didn't seem anymore eager to lower his weapon. If anything, he looked like one wrong move and he'd let his arrow fly.
"Not to wage war with you Oliver Queen." Ra's assured them.
"You'll understand if I don't just take your word for it. Why are you in my city?" Green Arrow demanded as Ra's raised his hand for his warriors to stand down.
"An enemy of the League has entered this city." Ra's said.
"So, why come here yourself? I thought this was the sort of thing you sent enforcers to do?" Oliver asked asked, though he had an idea.
"Normally I would, but this is a special case. The enemy is Damien Darhk." Ra's said.
"Your greatest enemy." White Canary realized as Green Arrow finally lowered his bow as Ra's nodded.
"Indeed. My sources confirmed that Damien entered the city a few weeks ago. We've been in the city just as long and have been trying to gather information." Ra's said.
"You could've reached out. If this Darhk guy is your enemy, he must be dangerous, which means this is situation where the enemy of my enemy is my ally. You may have numbers, but we have a resource you don't." Oliver said, since he'd take all the help he could get with Darhk.
"And what might that be?" Ra's asked.
"Knowledge of this city. My team and I know this city like the back of our hands. You don't. We can help each other." Oliver said.
"I was hoping you'd come to this conclusion, however, I thought it best to let you come to me, to avoid any unnecessary bloodshed." Ra's said.

"We'll help you on one condition." Oliver said.
"And that is?" Ra's asked.
"Once Darhk and his followers are dealt with, you'll leave Star City alone." Oliver said.
"Agreed. Trust that I do not wish conflict with you Oliver Queen. If anything, a man of your talents would make a fine addition to the League." Ra's said.
"I appreciate the offer, but I've got too much to live for here." Oliver said.
"Very well. I assume that we will not face resistance from you?" Ra's asked.
"As long as innocent people don't get caught in your crossfire, fine." Oliver said as he and Sara took their leave.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.

Evolution System+Customisation System=Stronger System? Maybe not though...
Synopsis- Dying due to what seemed to be an unavoidable drunken punch, Connor Connolly a 24-year-old man from England who is a little different when compared to the "normal public" keeps those differences along with a few additions when his soul transmigrates into a fantasy world of numerous opportunities compared to the mundane life of the earth where boredom was rife. His only asset? His mind and most importantly his imagination which he must maintain with practical knowledge from his previous life! Will his previous life's fascination with gathering what seemed to be random wildlife knowledge assist this hope for survival in the upcoming trials he faces that are beyond his imagination or make his situation worse because his past life knowledge is not always best in the world he has found himself a part of... All he has to go on are the words of the God who he heard from when he arrived in this crazy world and said "blessings" rewarded to him by this God. [Stupid human, I do not have time for your mortal questions, so I will give you the basic rules” of my planet. They are “evolve to improve oneself for yourself” and for you a unique ability that can be likened to your so-called concept of “customization” to further adapt oneself to the environment and for you to use your so-called “advantage of being reborn with your past life experience and knowledge”. Beware though, the strength you gain will balance itself out when compared to the aboriginals for the system I have created over my lifetime is perfection embodied] This is less brief in the actual prologue by the way as it also serves the purpose of giving you an idea of the world that Connor has been thrown into... :P Schedule: 2-3 Chapters a week, however, there could be more chapters released on some occasions.
