《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Cove》27 A Loud Bang
Advertisement
The killer was sitting on a chair in the living room. They had just eaten a strawberry and tossed the green leaved top into the fire. It had been an eventful day. A plan had been arranged and the killer had an idea. Well, he or she always had an idea. This idea however, would shock the house with fear. They would never underestimate them again.
The night passed quietly. Andrew opened his door and all the guests piled into the room. "Here's the first thing I have to say. Yes, one of you is the killer, but I have a knife and you all have to know I'm not the killer." He gestures to the large butcher knife in his hand. Bailey eyed the knife. "That sounds like something the killer would say." Near the bed, Natalie rolled her eyes. "It's our only damn shot." She pushed a curl behind her ear. Caleb watched her and then back at Andrew. "This better work. I don't wanna die trying."
With that, the plan was set into motion. Each guest would be assigned two partners. Lizzie, Tripp, and Vivian. Bailey, Grant, and Natalie. Caleb, Regina, and Andrew. "This way, we can't be fooled by the killer. Meet me at the fountain." The guests all began to move and Vivian picked up a candlestick as she walked out. "Can't be too careful." She whispered to herself, watching her partners.
The trio of Bailey, Grant, and Natalie walked into the foyer. "I have a bad feeling about this." Grant said, stopping suddenly. He couldn't believe he'd agreed to this, this was bound to end in disaster. Bailey had no desire to be alone however, he wanted no chance for the killer to single him out and murder him.

Andrew led his group to the fountain. "Ok, now we wait for everyone to get here." He said placing his suitcase on the ground and sitting on the edge of the fountain. Ten minutes passed. Caleb and Regina shared a look. This couldn't be good. Where was everyone?
Suddenly there was a loud bang. Bailey fell to the ground and Natalie screamed. Grant swallowed and stepped toward the lump on the ground. "How is this possible, he was with us the whole time!" He was trying to resuscitate the man but it was obviously too late. Bailey was dead.
The guests all rushed into the house and over to the crumpled body of Bailey. Well, every guest but one. Regina turned and gasped. "Where is Andrew?" She and Caleb once again shared a look and ran outside, back to the fountain. There, in the center of the fountain, was the body of Andrew Martin. Except it wasn't a body, it was a head.
Lizzie screamed and ran into Grant's arms. A tear fell from Regina's cheek. She'd grown fond of the man. Vivian found herself sick to the stomach. Caleb was not phased and helped Natalie calm down. Tripp surveyed the scene. Two bodies this time, two dead, this was gonna be a very tricky case.

The New World
An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated earth into its system. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills. This AI turned these concepts from fiction to fact. It's easy to become intoxicated with leveling up and becoming stronger. To some, it's too good to be true like living out a dream. For Daniel, however, it's closer to a nightmare. He's in a bit of a predicament. Cracks in our dimensional fabric have unleashed terrifying beasts from dark, abyssal places. Schema organizes these cracks into dungeons, giving the native species of the planet a chance to fight back. Daniel finds himself trapped in one of these dungeons. Not long after, he discovers there's only one way out. Kill or be killed. (Note: I am currently editing the story and I'm uploading those edits. It will take time to do this, so if you find a huge shift in the story's formatting, that's why. I'm steadily hammering away at it, but it's going to take time. Thanks for your understanding, if you're offering it.) This is a lit-RPG inspired by the Fallout series of games and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. Schedule: 2-3 releases a week of around 3,000 words. I have other fictions! *They're of questionable quality* Here's Monsters Dwell in Men If you want to support me and maybe see other content, check out my patreon: Patreon Here's my Youtube Channel as well, Monsoon117
8 196Pirate Wizard - A Pirate Isekai LitRPG
Beaten, bruised, and shot, Caleb Ledger dives off a burning yacht, desperately trying to cling to life. It doesn’t work. Instead of a briny death, Caleb finds himself reborn in the world of Jaladri. Even better, he's been blessed with the power of Weathermancy. On the downside, servants of the evil cult of Myrkur throw him into a cell with an eye on draining his life-force. But with the help of a battle-scarred griffin and a death-before-dishonor paladin, he just might be able to steal a fast ship to make their escape. After that? With no way to make an honest living upon the sea, there’s only one answer. The path of the privateer, the byway of the buccaneer. Throw in some good old fashioned derring-do involving mystery, rescues, dragons, and a revenge-obsessed warlock. Armed with a cutlass, pistol, and weather magic, Caleb stands no chance unless he figures out how to level up in a hurry!***Note: If this was a movie, it would likely be rated PG-13. The 'Traumatizing Content' rating is just to be on the safe side should any scene stray close to the borderline.
