《Ninjago: the Daughter of the Overlord》Chapter 71: One Down
Advertisement
Aria was asleep in her room when Kaname wakes her up.
"Your highness, Lloyd is here, he says it's urgent" Kaname informs
Aria whines and rubs her eyes. She walks out of her room not even bothering to change out of her nightgown. She heads into the throne room where Lloyd was.
"Lloyd I don't have time for your problems, I'm exhausted" Aria yawns
"I'm sorry Aria, but we're evacuating the city as we speak" Lloyd walks over and takes her hand "You need to evacuate as well for safety"
"...don't touch me just cause I'm too tired to fight you right now" Aria whines
Lloyd chuckles "you're too cute, now get all your guards and staff to evacuate"
"Can't you explain what's happening first?" Aria asks rubbing her eyes
Suddenly, the skies darken and purple lightning flashes.
"Lord Aria!" Hanabusa runs in
Lloyd and Aria stand in front of the tv with her Vampire Knights. At the harbor, Gayle Gossip is reporting the rising sea level and the storms.
"I'm reporting from Ninjago Harbor where sea levels are rapidly rising, prompting an evacuation of the city. Within the past ten minutes, winds have picked up nearly twenty knots, and a storm front has come out of nowhere" She gasps as Wojira emerges "What is that?"
"Destroy them all!" Kalmaar laughs as Wojira floods the city
"Oh no" Lloyd says "I have to get back to the ninja"
"Come on, can't someone stop trying to destroy my kingdom for one goddamn day" Aria complains
Aria turns around and almost falls but Lloyd catches her.
"Lord Aria" Hanabusa says worriedly "You've used up too much power in the past couple days"
"Get her somewhere safe" Lloyd says picking up Aria and handing her to Hanabusa
"Will you all be able to handle it?" Kaname asks

"Of course" Lloyd replies "saving the city is our job, protecting Aria is yours"
Lloyd quickly leaves and the castle begins preparations.
"Rima, what's the situation?" Kaname turns to one of the female knights
"the city is flooding and the water is leaking into the palace" Rima reports
"I gotta help" Aria says "I can't let all my hard work and planning go to shit so that another damn villain can take over"
"Lord Aria I advise you to let the ninja take care of it" Kaname says "you need your rest so our plans can commence"
Aria looks over at him "But-"
"He's right" Hanabusa looks down at her "lets wait it out"
"...fine" Aria closes her eyes "I trust you guys then"
-
Aria woke up to see herself in her bed.
"Good morning your highness" Kaname speaks from beside her "I hope you rested well"
"...did I sleep through the entire attack?" Aria questions
"Yes, yes you did" Hanabusa confirms
"I'm going to assume everything went well" Aria says
"Yes, except that the water ninja is now gone" Kaname tells her "she isn't dead but she left to become part of the sea" he smirks "tragic isn't it"
"Indeed" Aria stands up and walks down the hall with her guards following "One ninja down, 5 to go"

Artisan
Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon. The offending novel is The Artisan by Jon Moremont - obviously a GoT fan who didn't even read the blurb properly and put a wizard on the cover. Just wanted to let everyone know that this book has nothing to do with me, and has no new content. Thanks, and sorry again - LF Superhero Litrpg Skills, level-ups, powers, crafting, and base-building. Releasing a chaplet daily, ~1,200 words. It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high. In the era of the quantum computer, autonomous systems have taken over as the backbone of the workforce. Justin, 20 years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back, and since his government stipend will cover the expense, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new game: A Time of Heroes. Justin has never been that into multiplayer games, but for a full-immersion virtual reality where he can play a Superhero, Justin is definitely in. 'Superheroes and Villains are on the rise in an alternate America of 2020. Forces of good and evil must band together to control the future'. Justin plays Artisan, an alien AI trapped on Earth.Inventor, hacker, and gadgeteer to a team of heroes. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave reviews and comments.

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

Second Chances
Given a chance for reincarnation and tasked by the System, I picked the Sidhe for this second life. A world of Seelie, Unseelie, Kelpie, Redcaps, and Slaugh. The Gods of the Tuantha de Danann forced into sleep, the people forced to remain locked on their home planet. In this latest Book, Teigh Mac de Beleros y Cyronax has saved his people from stagnation and ruin. His denouncement of Olympus and Asgard before the Universal Senate has allowed the Sidhe to break the ties that constrained them, and the chains that kept them rooted to their home world. But the Sidhe and the Tuatha de Danann are unique across all multi-verses and all Pantheons. They have the unique ability to travel anywhere and anywhen. But this ability comes at a cost. The Tuatha de Danann do not have incarnations seeded across each Universe. There is only one Tuatha de Danann, and when Athena and Loki come to Teigh with the tales of a plot that will destroy not only the Tuatha de Danann but the multi-verse, he removes his crown to once more face off against Zeus and Odin and save his people. Second Chances has been taken down for editing and a major rewrite...
