《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Mountain》14 Acidic Answer
Advertisement
Giles raised the microphone to his lips, prepared to deliver a message. All the staff were gathered into an outdoor auditorium complete with foldable chairs and under a large roof. Giles stood on the stage holding a microphone and a small piece of laminated paper. Lana sat behind him, hands in her lap, waiting for the game to get even harder.
"The killer has asked me to introduce a riddle. With this riddle, you might be able to solve the murder of Trinity Garrison. Beware, if you do not solve this riddle, your head is liable to be left spinning, and your body buried." Giles gulped as he spoke. The killer had not lost their sense of cruel humor. Almost as though they were the same person. He reached behind him to a table. On the table was a bowl of scrolls. Giles picked one up and began to read the riddle aloud.
Find this where the moor meets the mountain. Find this where the light can not reach. The truth will be unlocked like a fountain. All you have to do is recite this speech.
The scrolls were passed out accordingly. There a long pause as the staff felt the heaviness all at once. This very moment could define their lives. Giles pitied them. Well, he pitied everyone but the killer or killers. Although he had not a clue who it could have been, despite Lana's investigation. He looked over at her now. "Follow them." He mouthed to her quietly.
She nodded and Giles turned back to his audience. "You may go!"
Everyone ran out of the auditorium at once, full adrenaline pumping through them. The first idea came to Cole. The clue fountain had brought him to the conclusion that it must be near water, he raced off to the waterfall. Brooklyn and Zayne both found themselves racing to the waterfall as well. In fact, every person ran to the waterfall in different directions, except Audrey.

She had done her own research on what kinds of things happened at Dawson Manor. Audrey remembered the police finding dozens of small papers with riddles and notes scrawled on them. She thought about them now, how they might have tricked so many of the others. Audrey found herself walking toward the edge of the woods, where the mountain sloped up.
A few feet away, stood a shack. It was wooden and looked a hundred years old. Audrey knew she had solved the clue when she saw the dried blood stains leading up to the door of the shack. "Oh my god." She slowly walked to the door and tried the handle, it swung open with ease. Audrey took a breath and stepped through the door.
There was no way to miss the giant bucket standing in the center of the room. It was metal and had handles on each side. Audrey stepped closer to look inside. There was a light colored bubbly liquid inside and it looked like it was steaming. By the looks of it, Audrey knew it was acid. She shuddered to herself. Was this the answer to the clue? The girl took out her scroll and opened it to the riddle clue. She breathed in and released it as she recited it aloud.
"Under the burning flow, the key lies waiting." Audrey realized she was going to have to retrieve something from inside the acid. With some difficulty, she managed to stick a long metal pole into the acid and find what she was looking for. Tough luck for the others, she thought to herself.
What she pulled out was a clear box with a latched lid and inside of it lay a remote with a single button. To Audrey's luck, the box was unlocked. She tore it open and grabbed the remote, not wasting a second to press the button. A curtain ripped open, exposing a small window and - Audrey shrieked - hanging from it, were bones. They were indeed ribs, just like the ones she had suspected were torn from Trinity in the morgue. Next to it, hung a pair of pliers. Finally, hanging right beside the items was a projector.

Audrey walked over to the projector and switched it on. She could see she was in full of view of the top of camp. In fact, the shack's window looked directly onto the fire pit that Trinity had died in. Flames danced into view inside of the pit. Except they weren't flames, they were images, just as harmless as mist. Audrey couldn't help but cry out as she realized she solved the crime. She would live another day and maybe Phillip would finally notice her.

I'm just an 'Ordinary' Human (MCU fanfic)
A guy gets hit by a truck and sent to a fantasy world with less power than your average peasant. (Un)fortunately, he discovered his secret power of Immortality at the hands of the current destroy-the-world inclined Demon Lord and becomes experimental subject #1. After hundreds of years, the Demon Lord is killed and the job of destruction was handed to him. Being not terribly favorably inclined to this fantasy world, he wreaks havoc on the world... Killing sacred beasts, massacring cities with an army of undead, headhunting servants of God, plaguing a whole continent with a deadly virus.But he was still unsatisfied.During an experiment, he accidentally killed himself trying to open a gateway to a new world. And wakes up from his coma in his original world. Except, it isn't his world, exactly. Now there is a man in a metal suit, a 90-years old buff dude with a shield, a muscle head demi-god and other weirdos who formed a team called the ‘Avengers’. None of that matters though, because he is so over all that drama. This life is going to be carefree. Or at least, that's the plan. Note: The 4th wall is thin on this one, so the MC often breaks it. As this is fanfiction, I will make sure to follow the "Fair use" clause of the Copyright law. Please support this on its original website too, Webnovel.

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
