《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Cove》28 Double The Bodies
Advertisement
Grant and Regina walked into the morgue. It was a horrible scene. Bailey lay on one table, looking perfectly normal. On the other table, lay pieces of Andrew's body. Arms and legs detached as well as his torso and head. "What could have possibly caused this?" Regina asked more so to herself but out loud for Grant. The man shook his head. "Well, let's find out."
He approached the body of Bailey first, better to keep it simple at first. He reached down to lift baileys head and peer behind it. There was a hole in the center of his head with blood around it. It had to have been some sort of spear or gunshot. Grant hoped it would be this simple but doubted it.
Regina watched him warily. After all it was Grant who had been the closest to Bailey when he had died. For all she knew he could be the killer and she was alone in a room with a killer and a dead body. It was not the sort of company you wanted to have in a morgue. She walked over to the parts of Andrews body.
It was horrific, blood and body parts were everywhere. She didn't know what to look at first. Regina had the sudden urge to vomit. She doubled over. "Grant. I'm gonna faint." She started to wobble. Grant dropped his gloves and rushed over. "Oh my god! It's okay I'm here it's okay!" In that moment he remembered his family and how much he truly missed them. Regina was old enough to be his mother. He held her head as she fell into his arms.

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero. Cover courtesy of the amazing Vitaly S Alexius, author of Romantically Apocalyptic. Go check him out!

Warden of Success - A LitRPG
In the future of Earth humans are no longer the dominant species. Monsters, vampires, elves and all manners of otherworldly threats now threaten the planet and its people. And for one such as Camille, there was nothing she could do. A failed martial artist, Camille swallowed her pride and dreams, all the while sinking into the world of video games. Until she died. Reawakening with newfound power in her very own bed, there's no doubting that she's an oddity. And as the only individual in the world with the body of a video game character, she's ecstatic. No longer will she just be content with playing games in her dark room, taking over fantasy worlds as a great heroine. Rather, she'll do something better. And that'll be to take over the real one instead. Whether it be mages, demons or other supernatural entities that stand in her way, it doesn't matter. Camille may be a level one at first, but dammit if she wasn't going to try to reach one hundred. This is not a crunchy LitRPG and gradually becomes more of a character driven story that just happens to have a main character with LitRPG abilities. There will be a variety of powers/abilities that are explored later in the setting involving magic systems and other technological advancements. The first 10 chapters were written with satirical undertones, but begin to develop more into its own entity after that.
