《Her Five Protectors》SEVENTEEN
Advertisement
Stephan Riccardo made it look obvious that he didn't cared about his sister's cries. Aurora angrily ruined the décor of the her room and spat out every curse. She kept throwing tantrum looking outraged.
"I hate you Stephan!" She screams at her brother.
"I don't care what you feel for me. Make sure that you clean up this whole mess or no food for you tonight." Aurora shakes her head stubbornly. She would never. Just like Ariana, she is a spoiled brat of 'Riccardo' family. She is raised up feeding on the silver spoon. Her doing a work like a maid would look entirely humiliating in such case.
"So then forget about the food forever not until you clean this shit up. Also make sure that you pack everything. I am sending you back to France...." Aurora slumps down on the floor and pull her knees to her chest crying. Angelo was the only one who ever showed affection to her but Stephan was completely opposite of him. Aurora hated her own brother more than she can ever imagine.
Stephan Riccardo still doesn't care. He slammed shut the door of her room leaving her to get herself together.
On the other hand, Athena is trying to memorize her ways around the mansion. She plans on getting out of here soon and for that she needs to get familiar to this place. It isn't going to be easy but Athena do believe in herself.
Next weekend morning, Athena comes out of the room, she is keep feeling this weird pain in her stomach from since the early hours of morning. She couldn't even sleep good yesterday night due to this. This pain isn't helping her anxiety a bit. While descending down the stairs, her eyes meet Luciano's back. He is standing in the middle of the staircase and talking to someone on the phone.

Almost like feeling her presence behind him, he tilts his head back to look at the young girl. He gives her a small smile but it takes only second for his expression to change as he notices a sullen look on her face.
"Are you ok?" He asks her while abruptly hanging up the call and touches her forehand to check her temperature. Not surprisingly, she is a little warm.
Luciano grabs her small hand in his and leads her direct to the dining hall without a word. His brothers are already present there. The oldest Vincenzo too. Athena quickly glances away from him before her eyes could make contact with his.
Luciano pushes Athena on the chair and calls the maid. He tells her to bring some food for Ahena but she shakes her head refusing. Suddenly the pain and discomfort in her stomach has grown a bit.
Athena refuses to eat anything and just lay her cheek on top of the cold surface of the table. Luciano gently runs his fingers along on her scalp, making her feel a little relaxed and soothing her nerves a bit. Within few seconds, Athena is out like light.
"Is she ok?" Romeo asks by furrowing his eyebrows.
"A little warm but nothing looks serious. Maybe she is just tired. Many things have happened yesterday. That girl Aurora almost tried to kill her. I think Athena just need some time. Let her rest for a bit." Luciano suggests back in a worried tone.
Vincenzo simply nods his head and others also silently agreed. Luciano carefully picks her up in his arms and take her back to her room. Supposedly Ariana's room.
14 hours, 14 hours rolled on with the blink of eye but Athena still look in deep sleep. Tonight only Vittorio is present at the mansion. He was also planning on going to this party but Vincenzo ordered him to stay here with Athena.

It is like time of midnight, when Athena's eyes flutter opens. She tiredly whines feeling painful gut wrenching cramps in her stomach. It immediately gets Vittorio's attention who is laying on couch of her room and texting someone on the phone.
He settles his phone down on the table and makes his way over to her bed. Athena looks up in his eyes. There are tears present in her own.
"Are you ok?" He asks her and places his hand on her forehead. Again a little warm but nothing big. Athena just silently nods her head a little while trying to ignore the pain.
"Go and freshen up a little. I will call someone to arrange your dinner." Athena again nods her head at his words. Vittorio skids out of her room.
Feeling none strength in her, Athena tiredly sits up on the bed and finally gathers some courage to get out of the bed. She shivers a bit at the feeling of the cold freezing floor making contact with her feet.
Her eyes suddenly makes contact with the uncovered bedsheets and her eyes widened in horror. Her hands starts to tremble in fear as she looks down at the blood staining the sheets. There is just too much blood and the sight is making her stomach churn even more.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
