《The Criminals》Choices
Advertisement
Alex came back to his home after a few minutes, he is feeling very shocked by the things he has done right now, the fact that he assisted in the killing of someone, and the fact that he was carrying the task like it was nothing and just an easy and legal job, but even in this city killing a man is classified as murder and he means punishment in jail. This city is named Ruby City, but he also is known as Criminal City by The inhabitants of this city, because the whole city is full of criminals, which would make even America jealous.
Alex goes upstairs to his apartment, and when he was about to reach the floor where the apartment where he lives is, someone calls him, he answers the call, and that someone tells him in Japanese, which makes Alex think that is one of the Yakuza who wants a job to lead the leader to another destination and participate in the killing of another person. But, this call was something different from what he was expecting.
"Anata wa Arekkusu Rodorigesu-sandesu ka?"
"What?" says Alex after he enters the house he is living in for a few days since he arrives in Ruby City.
"Oh, sorry. I forgot you do not speak Japanese." says the guy whose voice does not sound like the one of Minoru. "Anyway, I have heard you are working for the minster Minoru, am I right?"
"Yes."
"Great. Now, do you know who I am?"
"No. I do not know who you are, but you sound like a yakuza, so you must be a yakuza am I right?"
"Just because I sound like a Japanese does not mean I am a yakuza, you Mexican... Anyway, what I wanted from you does not include killing someone. What I wanted from you is to talk."

"Talk. About what?"
"About a revolt."
"Revolt? Against who? The President?"
"No, no, no, not him. We will attack him the next Wednesday. We wanted to destroy the Yakuza gang, but to do that we need some information. And tomorrow in the morning we need you to come into the biker territory."
"This city represents a biker territory? I thought this possible in rural zones!"
"Never believe the myths, you newbie. Anyway, we will see you there."
"But what would happen if I do not come?"
"Then we will kill you. Goodbye."
The phone call that Alex ended and Alex tosses the phone on the couch, puts his hands on his head, sighs, and thinks about what to do from now on. Today has been a difficult day for him, but what he did today made him disgusted that he came to this city, a place where it is harder than the city where he lived for twenty years with a father worker, a frail mother, and an older brother who is dead because of drugs and alcohol. Alex was thinking about the choices he has right now, the first one means to betray the Yakuza clan and to go to that meeting, which could result in a fate much worse than that old man had a few minutes ago, or if he is not going to that meeting, he will probably be killed by that man who called him. So... Alex thinks the first choice is a bad one, and the second is a good one, but on the other hand... Alex does not really know the man who called him and he could probably be something important in this Ruby City. Alex had a third solution, and that was suicide. If he hangs himself in his bedroom or throws himself out of the window, then all of his problems will be solved, but people close to him will be extremely sad, depressed, and disappointed in him. This third decision will be used only when there is nothing left for you to do.

After a few more minutes of thinking, his cousin Chris enters the house and saw Alex being sad and depressed. His cousin tells Alex, looking frustrated and sad.
"What's wrong, my cousin?"
"Hi, Chris!" says Alex to his cousin when he sits on his right side. "Well... Everything."
"What do you mean, you do not like the job?"
"No, not that... Is... Look, I arrived here and I already made a few contacts with bad people, with some car stealers, drug dealers, counterfeit makers, and with a few yakuza members."
"Yakuza?!" shouts his cousin being much scarier than his cousin, he gets off the couch and he is walking panicked in circles. "Shit! Shit! SHIT! We are dead! Fucked! And probably food for his alligator!"
"You know him?" asks Alex because Chris said something about an alligator which means that he knows very well the yakuza gang in Ruby City.
"Of course I know him. He is the one who killed my boss a few years ago. If it wasn't for him, I would have been in a cell and making out with a criminal this night. But, how do you know them? D-Do not tell me they have called you or I have to pay taxes to them?!"
"No, they- Wait! What was the last part?!"
"Taxes?"
"You paid for them!"
"They helped me to gain that restaurant and work there!"
"Oh, shit!..." says Alex to his cousin while he stopped moving and looked at the window just to be sure he is not watched by one of their spies, even though nobody is watching at them.
"What they made you do?"
"... Drive them to the docks where they have... thrown an old man into the ocean." says Alex feeling ashamed of himself and his actions. And now, I got called by someone who told me to go to the biker territory and to start a revolution against this Yakuza."
Chris, shocked, returns to Alex, to whom he asks a question.
"Who said he called you?"
"Huh?" asks Alex." Um... A Japanese guy who told me to go to the biker territory."
"... Alex... The guy who called you he is Hajima, and that guy... Were the ones who owned the Yakuza and that guy... He is also a Minoru father."
"H-How do you know this?"
"Because his father was the one who helped me for free and let me take this apartment. That guy was much nicer than that fucker who is now controlling the yakuza... You should go there, cousin."
"By alone What if he will be a trap?"
"Who said you are going alone there?" says Chris who is opening one of the drawers who are located under his TV, and takes from there an MP-5. "We are going there just to talk."
Alex, seeing the gun that his cousin owns, began to feel very panicked, stressed, and insecure about the decisions he made. Right now he wishes he had stayed in his hometown and led a decent life as a man with a false identity.

Legendary Farmer (available on Kindle July 2022!)
NOTE: Legendary Farmer is now COMPLETE. The first book, Clearing, was released on Kindle Unlimited July 5, 2022 with significant edits. I will post the first chapter of Clearing, as well as three chapters of Cuckoo's Dream, another novel in the LF universe, as a stub, with a link to the first book, so if you love LF and want me to be able to keep writing consistently, please go give Clearing five stars! In the VRMMORPG, Veritas Online, things are getting a little stale. Since the game launched, only one world- wide event has occurred, and that was a year ago.. The players are still having fun, but everyone agrees it’s about time for something big to happen. Everybody tends to forget that big things grow from small things, and little things are always changing in Veritas.The human country of Quarternell is at peace for the first time in... ever. Aspen, a former war hero, feels like he’s earned a quiet life together with his animal companions. They’re tired of fighting, and other people in general. They plan to live peacefully, far away from the city. As soon as Aspen figures out this farming thing out, he’s never going to go anywhere again. Unfortunately for Aspen, his country and his goddess aren’t quite done with him yet.Rouge the Rogue is a casual gamer in Veritas Online. She’s just a kid, and her focus is supposed to be on school and hanging out with friends. Emphasis on ‘supposed to’. She’s already pretty good at the school thing, and she doesn’t actually have that many friends. What she really loves is exploring all the cool ways the developers of Veritas found to make their game unique and realistic. Then she’s offered a very special quest, and an opportunity to go beyond the average player. She’s never been that much of a rule follower anyway....Clearing is appropriate for most ages. It has minimal foul language, no sex, and some violence. It is LGBTQ+ friendly. (P.S. IMPORTANT! This book contains very mild profanity, no sex, and is meant to be FUN. Yes, the characters sometimes think Deep Thoughts, and idealism pretty much runs rampant, but, in the end, I hope you just enjoy reading it. Laugh, cry, share it with your kids, read it to your dog, whatever makes you happy. My goal is for it to be accessible to everyone from ages 12ish on up, so you could definitely consider it YA, but with lots of big words because I don't believe in talking down to my readers.) Book Two: Harrowing (Starts after the original Chapter Fifty, now Sixteen, since I condensed chapters from the same perspective together.) Zoey has started her summer internship at Veritas Corporation, and she can honestly say that being an adult is boring. Until she starts learning secrets she was never supposed to know. In game, Rouge is finally making progress on her big quest. Apparently Duke Penbrooke took too long to return to the world, so the world is coming to get him... in the form of a few assassins. Aspen is going to have to face the life he left behind, and deal with the fact that it's not as easy being 'dead' as he thought. When what he'd hoped would be a short trip back to civilization to resupply turns into a whole lot more, he'll have to fight for his life, his friends, and his kingdom. Book Three: Sowing Rouge and Aspen have reached Bright, only to find that their enemies were already expecting them. They will have to quickly unravel the mysteries of who their opponents actually are, because they're already ten steps behind. Rouge and Aspen are finally home, but that doesn't mean they can return to their peaceful days of farming. Their enemies are hot on their heels and determined to destroy everything they've managed to achieve. Join them and all their friends for the final volume of Legendary Farmer.
