《Sang Insane | ✔》Chapter Fifty One

"...And that is why we did it," I finish up.
"I see, " Dr.Roberts says solemnly. "In my opinion, they got off easy."
I nod my head, agreeing wholeheartedly.
The media went crazy and overboard, like always.
They called our actions cruel.
They called our actions brutal.
They called our actions an act of terrorism.
They called our actions the crime of the millennia.
They called our actions the biggest blood bath in mafia history.
We wiped them all out.
The fourteen of us went AWOL and killed every single member of their mafia.
We receive a little peace, at least, knowing that Sang is avenged.
Dr.Roberts nods and graciously offers, "However much time you all want off is fine."
I nod in thanks.
I don't give my millimeter smile, as Sean calls it.
Even that is too much to bear.
For Sang, I am working on relaxing: calling people by their first name, switching up my wardrobe from time to time, and using those ridiculous slang words that she was so find of.
Smiling, however, is too hard.
How could I ever smile without my Darling?
I stand and go to leave the office.
"Thank you, Dr.Roberts," I state seriously before turning on my heel and exiting the office to where my brothers are.
"We are free until we are ready to return," I announce curtly.
They nod and we walk out together in silence, each of us lost in his own thoughts. It doesn't take a mind reader to know that we are all thinking of Sang.
Now that we have finally returned, we have her funeral to go to.
We drove back to the mansion.
With fourteen of us even the large space felt almost small, but now it seems empty.

Who will be there to prank us, turn our rooms pink, and have animals clean up the prank for them?
Who will be there to beg me to marry their slushy?
Who will be there to talk to in the dead silence of the morning because they wake up even earlier than I do?
Who will be there to hold us together?
Who will be there to love is and receive our love?
We are all in agreement that Sang was the only one.
There are fourteen of us, all young still, and yet we all agree that we will never love another.
No one will ever even come close to comparing to Sang.
Sang was the perfect one, not me.
No one could ever replace Sang in our hearts and minds and lives.
Hopefully, this can at least being us closer together as a family.
I leave my bedroom wearing an all charcoal black suit and tie.
I fight back emotion and tears from my face as I take in my brothers.
Black does not suit us.
All of us are wearing dark suits and solemn and grieving expressions.
We drive to the funeral where we say goodbye to Sang for the very last time.
***
Many people had come.
It was both surprising and not surprising in the slightest.
Sang's beauty and perfection and kindness and innocent drew people in.
However, they rarely spoke to her when she was alive.
Few got to know Sang for the incredible person she was.
Now they are too late.
Far too late.
As I am walking to the parking lot, Wyatt stops me.
"Mr.Blackbourne, Sang left something for you."
I turn sharply and look him in the eye.
"If you value your life, you will be telling the truth," I want him.

"I do, I am," Wyatt defends. "Sang said to give this to you for all of you in the event of something happening. She said she had a dream where she gave it to me to give you, and that she felt she needed to give it to me in real life."
He hands me a leather journal before walking off to Jessica.
I open it up eagerly.
I am greeted by characters that are not familiar.
Of course she had her own language.
I sigh, but, for the first time in a long time, I smile.
A full smile as hope fills me.
We may have lost Sang, but we will never forget her.
We will remember her.
We will continue with life.
We will make it through our grief.
After all, we have a piece of Sang and her memories and thoughts with us now.
Maybe, just maybe, it will be enough.
After all,
Black does not suit us.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
8 195Mortis Operandi 2 - Hostile Takeover
Author note: First, thank you for reading. Now that book 2 is done and after a month of it sitting here I've moved it to Amazon. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07X12GZMZ the first book Mortis Operandi - New Hire can be located on Amazon ----> https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Currently it is on Kindle Unlimited as well. Enjoy. Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. The sudden exit of Mortis Operandi's CEO, the company was facing ruin. The goblin Eft was choosen as the new CEO and boss. The previous CEO made promises and contracts that Eft now has to fulfill, and it is causing a lot of trouble. Restoring the ancestral home of Ogre's seems easy enough, what if a thriving town now resides there? Along with facing corporate invasion, Eft must take on the tasks he wouldn't wish upon his worst foe, Customer Service. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
8 126(OLD) Progenitor of Mana (OLD)
Leo had always dreamed of the feats. he would be able to accomplish if he had access to something like magic. Creating technology that ran on mana, ruling kingdoms by an iron fist, exploring a vast world full of adventure. But alas his world never had any until one morning when everything changed because of a System? This story is not for the light hearted, at least that is the direction I have it going.
8 91The Father of All (Rewritten Version)
The Observer had always remained faithful to its duty, to learn and to remember all that would come to pass so that when its Creator returned, it would recount all that it had learned and remembered. But the Universe has stagnated, History repeats itself over and over and the Observer could learn nothing new. This would not do, how could it face its creator with what was basically repetition, monotonous, boring, repetition. But how would it break this looping cycle? How would it write the History of the Universe itself anew?
