《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Mountain》20 Ice Cold Poison
Advertisement
Calvin, Ethan, Jaclyn, and Phillip had been waiting on the boat, where the murder had of course occurred. "I just don't get how any of us didn't see the killer make a move." Jaclyn was saying, bending over the railing of the boat. Phillip looked down at the water. It was churning and all the blood had long faded, but there was something floating in the water.
"Look!" He pointed and everyone's eyes fell on the object.
"It looks like a buoy." Ethan said. "Let's get it out." Before anyone could blink, Phillip was tearing his shirt off. Jaclyn tried not to stare. "I'll get it." He jumped off the boat and into the murky water without another second. The water hit him like a ton of ice bricks. "Fucking cold!" He screamed. The water sloshed around him like ice cubes. Phillip grabbed for the buoy but paused. It was a buoy of course, but this bouy, had a spike sticking out of the top, coated with blood.
Phillip looked back up to the guests. "It's just a buoy!" He called to them from below. It had not been a hard decision, keeping the information about the spike to himself. After all, how would it benefit him to just tell everyone his discoveries? Phillip climbed back up to the boat, shivering. "Nothing."
Calvin wasn't stupid. He had suspected Phillip to lie and now he knew the man was not to be trusted. He waited until they decided to split up to tell Jaclyn his thoughts. "What do you think he found on that buoy then?" Jaclyn lowered her voice to a whisper. "Could this mean that he's the killer?" Calvin shrugged. They continued their search of the boat.
Ethan found himself at one of the bars. He thought perhaps Sherman's drink had been spiked. The bar was small and had numerous amounts of drinks stacked on the island. What had Sherman been drinking? There was no way to know for sure but he checked the bottles that were half empty. There were only two. Which meant that one of these two drinks could have been poison.

Not wasting a moment, Ethan grabbed the first bottle of champagne and poured some of it into a nearby plant. The leaves began to fold in on themselves like acid eating away skin. "Holy shit." He breathed. Sherman had in fact been poisoned. This could be the clue he needs to solve the riddle. Ethan took a cup and poured some of the champagne into it and set it aside. He smiled to himself as he walked out of the bar.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
