《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Cove》17 Carnival Games
Advertisement
When the guests walked out of the house, they were in awe. In the middle of the garden, was a large tent, it was red and white just like a circus tent, and there was a smell of caramel popcorn in the air. What kind of sick twisted game was the killer going to play with them now? They were instructed to walk into the tent and stand behind a random carnival game.
"Dear guests, welcome to the Killer Carnivale! As I said before, please choose a carnival game to stand behind. In a moment you will play these games, individually. Only then, will you be given the challenge riddle." He finished his speech and walked past Lana. "Be careful. The killer does not like when people are late." He warned her. She would not be forgetting that anytime soon.
The guests had chosen their carnival games within minutes. Lizzie knew she wanted to play Ring Toss, she called it her special skill. Regina picked Hit the Clown, because she thought it would be easier. Grant had chosen the Fish Bowl, it wouldn't be that hard. Natalie picked Horseshoe, she was an absolute pro at this. Bailey had settled on Balloon Darts, he felt he had decent aim. Andrew decided he would choose the Water Race. Caleb picked Axe Throwing, very simple. Montana settled for Basketball which surprised almost everyone. Tripp chose Foosball. Vivian was the last to pick, and fortunately for her, she was left with her favorite, the Rope Course.
They all began to play their respective games. The first to finish was Natalie, who successfully got all horseshoes on the spokes. She raced to Giles and grabbed her riddle, running off. Andrew finished next, he also ran to Giles and then back into the house. Vivian and Caleb finished and rushed to grab their clues. Everyone else was still not very close to finishing.

Inside the house, Caleb and Natalie met up and read the riddle together.
Behind this landmark of knowledge you will find all of the answers.
It couldn't have been any simpler, and they were right, as they ran into the room, Andrew and Vivian were looking around the library. They had all come to the same conclusion, that it must be the library.
Meanwhile, Regina and Tripp had just finished their games and ran inside, also deciding to team up for the investigation. However when Tripp suggested the clue must lead to the library, Regina pointed at the word Landmark. "What else comes to mind when you hear landmark?" She asked. Tripp thought it over and they both rushed into the dining room. There, on the wall, was a map. "Landmark of knowledge." Regina breathed out.
They approached the map and felt along it for some sort of lever. Tripp suddenly had an idea and ripped the large map off the wall. To their surprise, a dark hallway stood before them. Regina picked up the map and covered the hole back as they walked down the hall. It was dark and Tripp took out his lighter. He was glad he had brought it after all even if he'd had no desire to smoke yet.
The two followed the hall to a door at the end. Regina sighed, opening the door and stepping in. The moment she did, the door shut and locked, slamming in Tripp's face! "Oh my god Tripp! Are you okay?" She yelled as he banged on the door and swore. "I'll be alright, the killer only wants one winner I assume." He sat down in the hall waiting for her to solve this case.
The room was small and housed a chair and on the wall, a tv was mounted. She walked over to the chair and sat down. The moment she sat, the screen lit up before her. Ruben's room. He was sitting on the floor, clutching a rod, the very same rod that had burned Regina. She gasped and watched as Ruben acted like he heard something and opened his door. That's when something came into the room.

A lion. An actual beast of prey, sauntered into the room and Regina watched as Ruben's face went white and he attempted many times to ward it off. She knew what was coming and clutched the chair. The lion jumped onto the man and as Ruben poked him in his side the lion swiped at his eyes and tore them out of their socket. He screamed and died in those moments and it made Regina sick to her stomach. As Ruben lay dying, a figure walked into the room. They whistled and the lion walked into an adjacent room. She stood up, shocked. The killer. He or She, picked up the fire poker and pushed it into Ruben's chest, waved at the camera like some prankster. Finally, the killer dragged Ruben's body out of the room and the screen changed to the stairs, where Ruben's body was thrown and tumbled to the bottom. Regina knew how Ruben had died and she pondered how much of it she should share with the man outside the door.

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

Interface
Welcome to the World-City of Thousel, the sixth iteration of life on the planet. These are the recordings of the people of Thousel. Thousel is believed to be the second longest iteration of life, and the overall most prosperous compared to what we know about the past five iterations. Medicine and technology have all progressed abundantly, and the world itself has been turned into one great city, governed and managed by the Governmental-Company Alliance, or the GCA.These particular recordings concern the discovery of a peculiar machine. When two very different people find themselves bound by the fate of one mysterious bot, life in the World-City begins to change… Interface is a cyberpunk webnovel set in an ecumenopolis world where people evolved with electro-sensory abilities. These senses shape the face of modern technology and life in a world where the three largest corporations run what has effectively become the government. Each of these three companies control various aspects of life in the city, and they all constantly vie for domain and power over one another.The world stands at the precipice of biological, technological, and historical breakthrough. After decades of study into microbiology, archaeology, and geology, it has been discovered that sentient life has lived on the planet multiple times over. These past peoples are referred to as the “prior iterations of life,” and it is believed that five great civilizations were constructed before the rise of the modern world. No one can be sure for certain what caused these peoples’ extinction long ago, and the theories range from simply dying off over time to massive tectonic fractures in the face of the planet. Advanced technology, far more complicated than anything the people possess today, has been uncovered in multiple locations. This has lead scholars to speculate on exactly how long each iteration of life survived and how far they progressed as a society. None of the companies have been able to find a way to make this ancient technology work for their own profit. It is as though they are each missing the final key needed to unlock these centuries old secrets. What could this knowledge reveal about the nature of life across every iteration? What power could it give to the one who wields it?Far from the investigation into the origin of life, two kids unlock a new mystery – one that ties their fates to the discovery of an old, mysterious robot. Suddenly, eyes begin to turn towards them as life in the city of Thousel changes wherever they go…

Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash
