《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Cove》11 Spared or Scared
Advertisement
As the guests gathered in the dining room, Giles presented them a lunch of roasted chicken sandwiches , salted asparagus, and buttered lingonberry biscuits. Despite the meal looking absolutely delicious, many of them did not touch their food. Glances all around the room, suggested the investigation had not gone well for some of them.
Finally the silence was once again broken. "I think no matter what happened today, we all should eat. I think better on a full stomach and you all should too." Ruben said, grabbing his fork and beginning to eat. Lizzie nodded. "I agree, I'd rather leave here alive than die of starvation." There was a pause and finally the guests began to pick at their food.
Finally Giles arrived in the room. "Good afternoon guests, after lunch you will be able to go to your rooms but only to your rooms and stand in front of your mirrors. Each mirror has a hidden camera behind it." At this, there were gasps. "I'm being watched!" Grant was furious. Giles held up a hand and continued. You will stand in front of these mirrors and state your cases of how you think Amelia Bramble was killed. Those who impress the killer will be spared and those who do not will be scared. I do hope you play this smart. Afterwards we will meet for dinner.
The guests did indeed go to their rooms to state their cases. The killer looked at their mirror and admired themselves. They would not be stating a case of course. The killer couldn't wait to kill again, after all, it's what they did.
At dinner, the guests did eat. They ate so much food that they were sick to their stomach. In fact, Caleb who was already a big eater himself, ate two whole lobsters. Andrew tried not to watch. The man was in the military, he could have easily done this. That's why Andrew had accused him of being the killer in his case and was eager to know immediately.

Giles came in flanked by a maid, Lana. She was holding a platter. On it, was a mini coconut cocktail. They each grabbed one and sat back down at their seats. "Guests, it is time to find out who captured the killer's attention and won this case. He picked up a card from the table and read it aloud.
"Congratulations, Montana! You have won and are indeed spared! Please stand and tell the guests how Amelia was murdered. Montana smiled but stopped smiling when she saw Grant give her a confused look. This was not a happy matter.
"Right. While we were all in the foyer, Amelia was at the bar grabbing a drink. When her drink came, there was a note attached to it, telling her to sit on the chair opposite the fireplace if she wanted to live. Amelia of course obeyed and when she sat on the seat it triggered a trapdoor to open and out crawled a deadly scorpion. It crawled to her foot and stung her, this instantly killed her with poison traveling very fast. The killer was then able to sit beside her and stick a knife in her back to throw us off. At some point, the killer took a can of red paint and dropped spatters of it everywhere to throw us off even more. This is how Amelia Bramble met her fate." She felt sick to her stomach reading that.
Giles nodded and resumed. "Now, that the matter is settled, we are moving on. In each of your cocktails there is a piece of coconut with your fates scrawled onto them. Everyone please one by one announce if you are scared or spared to the house.
Bailey was first, he picked up his coconut and sighed in relief. "Spared." Vivian was next, she was also spared. Caleb was next and he was also spared. Andrew was spared as well. Natalie crossed her fingers and looked at her coconut. "Spared." Grant picked his coconut piece up and threw it back down. "Bullshit, scared." He stared down at his plate. Lizzie was terrified but she was in fact.."Spared". Tripp was also spared. Ruben and Regina looked at each other, one of them was scared and one was spared. Regina read hers aloud. "Spared! Thank You God!" Ruben didn't even have to read his but he did and was indeed, "Scared".

Giles cleared his throat. "Ruben and Grant, you are scared. Everyone else please sleep well. He knew that was not likely with the killer but he had to hope.

This Strange New Life
Seems like I got a new chance. Better not fuck it up then, since I really want to see what it feels to have a family. Power is pretty lame alone. Best used to build things and protect people. Did a lot of building 'till now, lots of research stuff and all. Now, let's protect the people that I love and that loves me back. An enjoyable life with my loved ones. Whatever the cost. Mufufu~~ What can I do, my siblings are so cute~~ maybe I'll try having children at some point~? --- PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION ^p^ ---- This is an extremely slow reincarnation story, with heavy usage of dialogues and diminutive descriptions. Chapter are posted whenever I feel like it, because I won't burn myself down like I did before. Chapters will often be around 2k words. The first arc, Life in Valince, will be at least 50 chapters deep, and the main character won't get to her 1 year anniversary over the span of this arc. As I said, it's a slow, character interaction, dialogue-heavy story. Lots of feeling, slice-of-life etc, with some dramatic events that shape the rest of the story ^^ AND PLEASE, STOP PESTERING ME ABOUT JAPANESE. this story contain a very limited amount of japanese words, used in context for a reason and that are part of the mystery of the worldAnd the bad guys use german (not because nazi buit because german is badass)And there’s also french. Please be open-minded. I’m not a delusional weeb and this kind of thing, and it would be very appreciated if people could be more polite.If you don't like it, I don't force you to read it, but a lot of people seems to like this novel nonetheless, so maybe you should give it a shot. ---- Lux's here! Yeah I know I should work on ToL and ToF but I had another idea, then another one. So here it is. Story talk about a war vet that reincarnate and can finally know what it is to have a family. I like engineering, creating things and all, so I'll try putting production scene in this. Like all my stories, it's about love, be it with family, friends or lovers. I like my coffee with so much love sugar that half the planet would get diabetes. You're warned. Also, the MC is quite OP, but I keep a progression curb and she still has things to learn, which she will eagerly do. After all, curiosity is one of her main drives, with a thirst for love and utter hate of loss, be it losing a battle or losing someone she loves. Ha, nearly forgot. CONTENT WARNINGS AREN'T FOR SHOW. Sex, of course. I'll try to explore sexuality as a male, a female, and some other PoV that can't be categorised like that, not exactly. Also, beware the yuri/yaoi. I don't limit myself to straight couples. Gore. A lot. Blood everywhere, guts spilling and all. I don't do censure. The Mc cut a wolf in half? you get the details of what is inside it. Traumatising content. I dunno. No NTR, no heartbreaking drama. However, some of you may dislike the way I handle bodies and flesh. Got some feedback about body horror on my previous works, but everyone as a different border separating transhumanism and body horror. Mine is pretty high. How high? Go read The Other Labyrthin to have an example. To put it in simple term, I've no problem at all to describe alien bodies, change in human bodies, interactions between differents strange species etc. Expect a lot of tentacle, bio-incubator, spawning pool à la zerg. Profanity. Well, I think you fucking got it in the very first sentence of this synopsis, ain't right? ---- THIS IS A WIP (work in progress)! Earlier chapters may get retconned or completely changed, structure of the story isn't set in stone, all the usual stuff. ANY HELP IS WELCOMED. Want to throw me your idea? Shoot! Spotted an error in the text? Comment! Seen a plothole bigger than the impact zone of a nuke? I'll gladly hear you out and try to fix the problem (somehow ;-;) --- Cover: John Martin - The Plains of Heaven (c. 1851) ---- Official Editor: TheZouave (starting from ch25 onward) ---- List of thanks: Necrotyr (English) Asviloka (English) Damokles (Review) David Talon (Review) JHA (English) Helbom (English) Slee202 (Common Coherence) NEEDS_MORE_DAKA (First First) Srayan (English) Koooomakimi (Dialogue Flow) Emagstar (English) Apocryphal (Review) ToasterForker (Review) Ellen Taylor (Review) Zak (English) PrimalShadow (English) Elliot Flanders (HUGE THANKS for the re-write of the poem "Tale of Ashen Night" Go check their work, it's good ^^) Lance Wheeler (Huge thanks for the English edit on each chapter ^^) (If you think you should be here because you helped me, feel free to ask, pointing the reason, like the comment you gave that could have helped me ^^)

Life of Two
Within two separate worlds, Two unique children were born. They weren't calm and always seemed to be in constant pain. One had the fate to be a God-Class being, while the other had a less fortunate start as a Mortal within confines. They saw through each other's eyes, witnessing two lives in constant and thought separate thoughts in their connected single mind. Of different status, of different passage of time, of different mental fortitude, and of different lifestyles, nothing matched for the two as they lived twice at once. In the end, all they wish for is a constant of peace. A dream that was rather difficult, but was better to at least think to. The Mortal who hid his exhaustion and kept away his darkened corruption, and the God who lead a healthy yet dutiful life. This is the Life of Two.______
