《The Night Shift (Mike Schmidt x Reader)》4. Foxy
Advertisement
As I drove into the parking lot the next night, I noticed that Mike's car wasn't there yet. Shit, I can't start the night without him! Ugh, I could barely handle one door, much less two doors plus a camera! I was totally screwed. I just decided to wait outside the building for him to show up. Luckily, he pulled up right before I gave up and walked in. He walked out of his car mumbling curses under his breath and ran towards the building. He noticed me for once standing near the entrance. As soon as he saw me, his eyes lit up with what I could only assume was relief.
"Thank god you didn't go in there alone!" Mike exclaimed, picking me up in a big bear hug. "Foxy would've handed your ass to you." He noticed that he was currently hugging me, blushed slightly, and put me down. He mumbled an apology under his breath. I thanked him for his concern, feeling myself blush a little as well. We both walked into the pizzeria slightly red-faced, but returned to normal color upon entering the office.
"Who's Foxy, anyway?" I asked. "Oh, Foxy's this animatronic that likes to mess things up. If you watch him too little or too much, he runs at you. He wasn't active last night, so I didn't bother to tell you about him."
"Shit, I forgot to bring a chair!" I exclaimed. "That's fine, I'm sure that you've learned your lesson. I'll let you get the hang of Foxy tonight, so that we can switch back and forth between cams and doors. I'll just do the doors; DO NOT switch the camera from the Cove, okay? He won't be too much trouble this early in the week, but it's good practice for later nights." Did this guy ever simplify things? Right when you think he's done talking, he realizes that he forgot something and describes it in detail at the end... Might be all that coffee getting to him.

"So lemme get this straight; Foxy runs, and the others teleport?" "Pretty much." "Do they have some sort of pattern?" "Oh, shit! How could I forget something like that?
"Foxy and Bonnie come from the left, Chica and Freddy from the right. Freddy doesn't show up until tomorrow, though, so don't worry about him. Chica and Bonnie stop at the doors first, but Foxy and Freddy barge in as soon as you turn your head away from their respective doors."
I nodded and continued to check the Cove every once in a while. Mike was still running back and forth between doors, checking the lights every time he switched and closing the door every once in a while. I don't know how he didn't get scared in the least by the animatronics or get tired at all; I jumped every time someone came to the door and I was half falling asleep just watching him go back and forth.
Bonnie's third appearance scared me so much that I forgot my job and went into shutdown. Foxy then took that chance to run down the hall. When you finally remembered to check it, Foxy was gone and his classic sign was replaced by one simply saying "IT'S ME".
"SHIT!" I yelled. Mike didn't process what was happening until Foxy was at the door. Knocking. I had dived at the door and closed it just in time.
"Jesus," Mike said. "You might not be as much of an amateur as I thought you would be!"
The 6AM alarm began to beep immediately afterwards. "Buh bye, Mike!" I said on the way to my car. He waved and said, "Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night! Try to get some sleep, Wednesday's a doozy!"
After he drove off, I breathed a sigh of relief. That was terrifying and exhausting, but there was some part of me that was looking forward to work. What the hell would I look forward to?

The Solipsist
Every novel needs a main character, and in this case, it's a young man named Jacob Bates. Jacob is your average guy who likes books, television, and long walks on the beach. One day, Jacob was diagnosed with a condition that made his body frail and weak. This drove Jacob to focus solely on his studies, ending up becoming a fairly capable guy, despite his condition. The road ahead was looking great! That's when a little scene occurred between Jacob's girlfriend and one of his male classmates. Jacob's mood was a little lower than dirt from thereon. His motivation to pursue his studies, gone. This event caused Jacob to fall into the death grip that is a job in retail. One day, while Jacob was mopping the cold floors of the grocery store he worked in, a strange blue screen appeared in front of him, notifying him that the world was going through a change. Now if this change was a good or bad thing, he didn't know. But there was one thing Jacob knew for certain. He didn't have to mop the floors anymore. Author's Note: (This is my first story, and I would be very thankful if grammatical errors were pointed out. I could also take a few suggestions in the comments if you would. This is less a planned production, and more a little project that I'm winging as it goes. I will try and be consistent with at least 2 chapters a week. Also, as I am a completely new author, the number of words per chapter may fluctuate. The minimum will be around 1000 words, while other chapters may be 2000-3000. It will hopefully only get better with time.)

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
