《The Battle Of The Riches | PENTHOUSE |》tryouts
Advertisement
I got out of the car with my mom I went up the stairs into the building and I went into the hallway near the room where tryouts are going to be I was sitting with Seok-kyung. You know I haven't talked to Eunbyeol for a while now I should hangout with her when I have time.
It was about to be my turn until I saw Eunbyeol running out crying did she mess up? Jenny turns to me and Seok-kyung "I think Eunbyeol made a mistake!" She loudly exclaims "does that matter? Her grandpa is the director of this school" after I listen to Seok-kyung say I went into the room and sang the 2 Italian songs I didn't mess up my mom made me start classical music since I was young I like singing but sometimes I don't I'm really good at it but if if could I would take a year break.
I came out of the room and gave a thumbs up to Seok-kyung and Jenny signaling that I did well. Jenny gave me a big smile and said good job it was Seok-kyung turn "good luck" I smiled at her and she smiled back.
I waited for her and she eventually came out and told me she did well and now it's Jenny's I told her me and Seok-kyung would wait for her where the parents were.
Me and Seok-kyung walked past a girl with a mask and a blue & black jacket we both looked at her badge her name was Min Seok A and she looked awfully familiar.
...
All of the Hera palace kids were in the downstairs lounge (and jung-hwan too) waiting for the results I opened my phone. " Seok-kyung, junghwa you passed right?" Seok-hoon said "yes I passed" I answered "yeah" Seok-kyung said "me too" Minhyeok and jung-hwan say. 'how about you Jenny?" I say "I passed too" she smiles happily.

"I got 2nd for classical singing... Who got it first?" I ask. Everyone looked at each other wondering if anyone knew. "I got first place of band" Seok-hoon said. " Seok-kyung you didn't get first place?" Mr Joo said walking towards us "no who did?" She asked "Min Seol A" he answered.
"She dropped out of high school and took the GED" I look at Seok-kyung "Min Seol A?" We both say "we saw a min Seol A walking through the halls" I say. Seok-kyung looks at the people walking around and spots Lee Anna. Seok-kyung runs after her and pulls her wig off and throws it on the ground. We all look in shocked "it was you, wasn't it? I wasn't mistaken." Seok-kyung says "Seok-kyung what are you doing to your teacher?" Mrs Shim says "what teacher? I saw her in the halls with junghwa at the test site. She took junghwa first place!"
Seok-kyung grabbed Min Seol A bag and goes through it pulls out her purse and her father grabbes it he looks at the ID he scoffs "Min Seol A"
My parents and I were in Mr Joo's living room "are you really the same age as Seok-kyung in middle school?" Mrs Shim asks "can't you see this?" Seok-kyung says playing with Min Seol A ID "she's the same age as me and she doesn't even go to school" she yells
Seok-kyung and I look at her "we don't even know where she came from. Can you believe we called her a teacher and took lessons from this swindler?" She throws the ID on the table with Min Seol A wig and bag. "You lied as if you studied abroad" Mr Joo says.
"When you actually only live in Bosok village " he says looking mad. "Why did you do this?" My father says by looking at Min Seol A "answer him" Mr Joo says. "I'm sorry for lying. But I returned all the money when you fired me. And I'm not their teacher anymore."

"So you didn't do anything wrong?" Mr Joo says. "I taught them as much as you paid me and I was never late" Min Seol A said.
"Seok-kyung was the one who was rudest to me, she even humiliated me and claimed I was a theif."
Seok-kyung got up and yelled "shut your mouth". "Seok-kyung" Me Joo says getting up and sighs "how did you come in first in the test then?"
"I passed fair and square with my talent" Min Seol A said. "My daughter would have made it first with her talent if it wasn't for you" My father said getting mad.
"Who knows what a swindler like you could've done? Maybe you approached us on purpose to steal our information" Seok-kyung said yelling at Min Seol A "there's no information I can take from you anyway" min Seol A said looking Seok-kyung in the eyes.
Seok-kyung slapped Min Seol A in the face and Mrs Shim gets up "Seok-kyung!"
"That's for tricking our family's and making us into fools" Seok-kyung said not listening to Mrs Shim. And she slapped her again making her fall "that's my warning telling too to know your place" I get up standing behind Seok-kyung "why are you angry?" She exclaims.
Mr Joo walks up to Min Seol A and puts his foot on her pressing down "of you're finished enjoying yourself like a reckless brat, ita time to be punished." Pushing her down all the way.
"Tell me your parents number." Mr Joo says that and Mrs Shim trys to stop him "please stop"
"I don't have parents" Min Seol A says shaking.
"You don't have parents? Are you a orphan then?" Mr joo says looking down on her.
"How pathetic" stepping on her one last time. "She has nothing to do with us now" Mrs shim says. "She already apologized too."
Min Seol A gets up "you creeped me out from the beginning" Mr Joo says "an insincere person like you gives out a particular vibe"
"That nasty feeling that really creeps me out" my dad adds. "Your not exactly living an honest life either" Min Seol A added making us all confused. "What did you just say?" Making Mr Joo mad.
"If you're done, I'll be off now" she walks pass Seok-kyung, me and Seok-hoon getting her stuff. "Hey where do you think your going?" Seok-kyung yells "Yah!" Seok-kyung follows her to the door. "That vulgar brat" Mr Joo exclaims. "I can't believe you let someone like her into our house" Me Joo looks at his wife and leaves.
I look at my parents my mom told me that they were going home. Seok-kyung comes walking back to us "it won't end it here" she says looking at us, Seok-kyung opens her phone and texts something in the group chat.
I look through everyone's messages not knowing what to say I'm mad at her for lying and taking my ring. But I don't know what Seok-kyung has under his sleeve but it's something bad.

The Second Coming of Fate [A High Fantasy Story]
Prologue Arc: The Day That Begins Your Fate - COMPLETED Story Arc 1: Chaos in the Lamorian Kingdom - ONGOING Please consider following/leaving a rating. I plan to turn this into a long lasting series, and it would really mean a whole lot to me. :) ----- Having succumb to amnesia, Galvin one day appears in the Grand Forest east of the capital kingdom Lamora. For the next two months, he lives a perfectly carefree yet boring life until one fateful day changed everything. Encountering all sorts of characters and dealing with all sorts of shenanigans, Galvin begins to experience visions of what appears to be the future. With this newfound power in a world full of magic, yet plagued with war, discrimination, and brutality, will Galvin be able to change fate…or die trying? ----- Do you like stories where the protagonist doesn't start out strong and is deeply character driven (with a LOT of inner monologues)? A story that has its fair share of comedic and dark moments? Well then you've come to the right place! However, if you're looking for LitRPG mechanics, then unfortunately, this story doesn't contain too many of them. The dynamics of the story will be based on real life physics and mechanics (with a bit of magic of course!) Also, I delve deeply into a lot of disturbing topics, so readers do be warned. However, if any of this sounds interesting to you, then please come by and give my story a read. ----- Expect releases as soon as possible (which is like 4 - 10 days). Just know that I'm writing this story as it progresses, so a lot of first drafts are to be expected. :D

Tales of Ordinary, Completely Unremarkable Contractors
"Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the mercenaries appeared." - Artur Xerxes, in A Century of Disappointment: Memoirs of a Travelling Dwarf It's never too difficult to land contracts for a set very specialised skills in a continent teeming with werewolves, vampires, giant leopards, undead and, god forbid, elves. The difficulty comes when these contractors find themselves suffocated in the dense atmosphere of this world's rigid - and mostly unfair - rules; death, suffering and misfortune await those unwilling to sacrifice to bend these in their favour. In this non-linear plot, you will observe a scarred and deformed farm girl cashing her first bounty posters, a seemingly ordinary barmaid at a tavern in the bustling centre of a sprawling, corrupt city and an enigmatic leader of a firm specialising in dealings any other would consider suicidal. Watch them all take everything to the next level at every available opportunity, and then feel dread at the thought that this still might not be enough to halt the physical embodiment of doom about to do what it does best Please, feel free to review and comment! Any sort of feedback can help me become a better writer and write more engaging stories for you. I used to update once every 3-5 days, but this rewrite is taking much too long...I do hope it will be worth it.

The Sister In The Forest(Cancelled)
What do you do when you have a missing sister? Cry for the eternity of your lifeline and do nothing until you die? Or do you take a perfect opportunity of your childhood to explain the explanations of why your sister went missing in the first place? Follow a 16-year-old boy named Aaron Duncan, he is a muted teenager by choice who had lost his sister at a young age. He was five when his sister, Althea, went missing with no explanation. Aaron couldn't do anything, he couldn't prescribe a search until he was sixteen. So, he made it a struggle for the world and went mute, he refused to speak a single word until he finds his sister. And he finally got a chance, his school invited him to a multi-school camp trip to The Kielder Forest, a very recognisable memory for Aaron as it was that forest he and his sister made memories in. No chances were wasted, he agreed and went on the camp trip with his chubby best friend, George. When he arrived at the forest, he felt off. Aaron knew something was entirely eerie about the forest that never felt this way ever before, but he was the only one who felt this way so he shrugged it off and went into the forest with multiple different schools from all around the UK. Meeting Lia Ann kept Aaron thinking about his sister as they had similar personalities. One night, adrenaline was high for Aaron and he decided to go to the cave he made memories with deep in the forest. Everything was intact and his friendship with Lia grew when they both encountered each other. So, normally, Aaron thought nothing of it and continued going back to the cave until one day he was ambushed by a liquid entity that wasn't human. It almost murdered him before he was saved by an unexpected guest, his sister, in pure flesh, was finally in front of him. Aaron wanted to know everything, he asked everything until one question did it for Aaron as he found himself passed out from the help of Althea's distant eyes and woke up in his tent by George. "Was it a dream?" He asks himself dreadfully. A question that will have him explore his character, his purpose, his beliefs, his trust, and his friendships. Will a dream break Aaron down and destroy him? Or will it build him up to be even stronger to find out how his sister went missing? And possibly, what or who may have murdered her?
