《New Earth: Arrow》Chapter 36

"Felicity, I need a favor." Oliver said as he called her as he walked into his office at Queen Consolidated.
"Yeah what is it?" Felicity asked.
"I need you to run background checks on all the members of the Queen Consolidated board, since Slade is smart enough to have already embedded someone in the company's board in the event Isabel couldn't, since I've given security very strict instructions that she is not to be allowed on the premises." Oliver said.
"I'm also working on exposing her past to get her not only fired from Stellmoor International, but also arrested for her crimes, since her name is on the list." Felicity said.
"How did I not notice that before?" Oliver asked him.
"You were blinded by her pretty face." Felicity teased him and Oliver rolled his eyes.
"Very funny. But will you just do it?" Oliver asked.
"Relax, I'm on it. I've also discovered something interesting about the city council that I think you'll find interesting." Felicity said.
"What?" Oliver asked.
"I think I may have discovered why Pollard was so intent on taking vigilante down." Felicity said.
"Really?" Oliver asked.
"Yes, it would appear that Pollard wasn't so much trying to keep the city safe from vigilantes as much as she was trying to keep her own criminal activities hidden." Felicity said and Oliver just chuckled and shook his head.
"Should've known. Guess Vigilante was right about her after all. Why didn't we ever look into this before?" Oliver asked.
"Probably because vigilantes going after the council member who was behind the anti vigilante law probably would not have helped our case." Felicity said and Oliver chuckled.
"Yeah, I guess not. Send the evidence to Quentin, since knowing Pollard, she's likely trying to propose the anti vigilante law right now." Oliver said.

"On it." Felicity said, right as Oliver got another call.
"Sorry I'm getting another call." Oliver said as he switched over.
"Hello." Oliver asked.
"Oliver." Quentin said.
"Quentin, what's going on?" Oliver asked.
"It would appear that your pal Wilson is setting his plot in motion." Quentin said.
"Oh god, what did he do?" Oliver asked.
"Turn on the news and you'll find out that there was a bombing at City Hall this morning, specifically targeting the mayor's office." Quentin said.
"Oh god, how many died?" Oliver asked.
"Basically the city's entire leadership, the mayor, deputy mayor, chief of staff, district attorney, hell even the police commissioner was killed." Quentin said.
"What about the city council?" Oliver asked.
"A few of them survived, since they weren't here, but Pollard and Kullens were both among the casualties." Quentin said.
"Of course they were. And I'm assuming a certain alderman is already trying to capitalize on it." Oliver said.
"Yep." Quentin said.
"Thanks for the update. Looks like Slade has improved his game in this universe. I gotta give him some credit, he may be a madman right now, but he is efficient." Oliver said.
"On that we agree. Look Oliver, I know he ended up not being a complete bastard in the end, since he did help save us from Lian Yu, but right now, my daughter is in his crosshairs. I lost her once." Quentin said.
"And if he tries to make history repeat itself on that, I'll make him wish he died on the Amazo." Oliver assured Quentin.
"Just wanted to be sure we were clear on that." Quentin said.
"The last time I fought Slade, I did so with one hand tied behind my back and my mother died because of it. I want to save him, but if it comes down to a choice between him and everyone else I care about, he will die by my hand." Oliver said.

"I'm pretty sure you're the only one who stands a chance at accomplishing that feat. Well besides Sara and who knows when she is right now." Quentin said and Oliver chuckled before hanging up and sitting down at his desk, wondering how he was going to respond to Slade's new plans.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

Flap Merganser: Space Duck
This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out. Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.
