Advertisement
In the Island of Dolls, the souls of the children’s souls begin to leave the dolls and move to the sky, one by one the dolls turn to ashes.
“Well done muchacho, I guess this will no longer be the Island of Dolls.” Bella chuckles looking at the sky:
“I guess, it’s time for us to meet face to face…”
Meanwhile Alexa has now the Golden Key and heads to the airport. She informs Juan who is out of the country. Alexa chuckles looking at the key in the container:
“Checkmate Uriel. I have the golden key.”
“Good job mija, now as for the reward you may choose a horse and take it as your own when you get home.”
Juan, who is on the phone, tells Alexa. Alexa makes a little girl’s voice:
“Gracias daddy, I miss you.”
“I miss you too, I will see you in a month… be ready because our next mission is in the Borderland…”
Juan hangs the phone, Alexa chuckles:
“The Borderland ehh, well now, this is going to be fun”
***************************************************************************
Uriel looks at Trueno; “Good job…you can return now…” Trueno opens a crimson portal and disappears. Uriel falls into one knee, Alejandro immediately goes to help him:
“Hey man, what’s wrong?”
“I used too much mana…I’m afraid, I won’t be able to stand by myself…”
Alejandro grabs Uriel’s arm and puts it over his shoulder; “Don’t worry dude…I am here to help you…”
Uriel chuckles; “Thanks…”
Leticia approaches Uriel and extends her arms; “You told me to give this to you when everything was over…”
Uriel looks at her confused, he smiles thinking; “I think it was Vasco who said that to her…”
Uriel extends his hand; “Thank you for taking care of it…” Leticia uses the opportunity to kiss Uriel on the cheek to the surprise of everyone.
“Leticia…how bold…” Ana chuckles. “GYYAAHHH” The twins screamed with excitement. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Kasumi exclaims with her face all red.

“Uriel, thank you for saving me…I am forever in your debt…” Leticia smiles with tears in her eyes.
Uriel chuckles; “Don’t worry about it…I was just helping my partner…remember that we are currently on a field trip…besides…I promised you that I would keep you safe…”
“Right…”
“We must get out of here before someone arrives…” Antoine looks at Uriel. Uriel opens his eyes wider:
“I’m afraid it’s too late…we’re surrounded…”
At that moment, everyone hears movements in the trees and bushes; “You there…don’t move…”
Sister Veronica opens her eyes wider; “That voice…it can’t be…” Everyone looks up at hill near them. They notice that they are surrounded by nuns with spears and monks with swords.
There are two nuns that release an enormous amount of mana. Sister Veronica walks back; “We are in trouble…those are my Sisters…”
“Sisters?” Giovanni looks surprised. One of them points at Uriel:
“Charro Negro…you and everyone involved with this case…are here by arrested…”
April 18th, Hotel Mexica
Two days have passed since the incident in the volcano…the Mexican Government covered the events by telling the news that it was a natural disaster. Luckily, there were no casualties as people are aware of how to react to large eruptions. Many surrounding towns were destroyed by the people who were put into safety…As for the group…
It’s early morning, Alejandro, as the Student Council President, checks on the students to see if they are alright…Alejandro walks towards Room 520.
(KNOCK, KNOCK)
Alejandro knocks once again; “Hello? Marjorie…Marinette…Madeleine?”
Alejandro doesn’t hear a response; “That’s strange…this sure feels familiar” Alejandro grabs the key card that says Dr. Ortiz gave it to him in case of an emergency.
“This might be an emergency…” Alejandro uses the card to open the door; “I’m coming in”
Alejandro opens the door, the lights of the room are off; “Mmhmm I guess they are not here…”
“GGGYYYAAHHH” Suddenly, Alejandro hears someone screaming in the bathroom; “SOME ONE, HELP ME!”

Alejandro immediately runs; “Don’t tell me…did El Muerto return?” Alejandro opens the bathroom door, and a naked blonde girl with reddish eyes bumps into him. Alejandro opens his eyes and sees the girl:
“NOT AGAIN!”
Madeleine looks at Alejandro; “Hurry! the cafard returned!” (Cockroach) Alejandro sees the cockroach going towards them; “Don’t worry…this time I’ll…”
“GGYYAAHHH” Madeleine hugs Alejandro; “IT’S COMING THIS WAY!”
“Not again…Madeleine…I can’t see…”
(SQUISH)
Alejandro kills the cockroach once again; “There, all done…” Madeleine cries; “Oh, mercy…mercy…you saved my life…”
“Don’t worry about it…now I need to hurry before…” Madeleine pulls his arm; “Wait…”
“Madeleine, if they see us like this…I will be in trouble…” Alejandro sees Madeleine embarrassed; “Mercy…you really helped us the other night…I wanted to thank you earlier but…we…”
Alejandro smiles; “Hey, don’t worry about it…we are allies right?”
(PUUM)
Suddenly, Marinette enters the room with fruits and juices; “ Hello, Ma soeur, I bought something from the restaurant…” She sees Alejandro with Madeleine. Marinette blushes and screams; You pig…what are you doing to my soeur…again…”
“W-W-Wait…” Marinette releses a chilling wind sending Alejandro off the window. “AAHHH”
(SSSPPLLAASSHHH)
Alejandro falls into the lake, he comes out and shouts; “HEY, YOU COULD’VE KILL ME!”
“GO AND DIE…YOU PERVERT!” Marinette closes the window. Alejandro sighs and swims towards the shore.
“Hello son, taking a morning swim?” Alejandro notices Dr. Ortiz fishing. He chuckles; “Well, you know me…I love to exercise…”
Alejandro, dries up his clothes and sits next to Dr. Ortiz and looks at the lake. Dr. Ortiz swings the rod; “You know, I’ve been wanting to thank you for all your help…You and the others save my wife and my children…words can’t express how grateful I am…”
“Hey, don’t worry about it…it’s the job of a hero right?”
“Hahaha…you are correct…but I also wanted to thank you and Uriel for saving us the first time…”
“You mean, this wasn’t the first time?”
“No…during the Attack of the Chupacabras at the restaurant…Uriel saved us from the monster’s attack by kicking away from us…”
Alejandro opens his eyes wider; “YOU MEAN YOU WERE THERE!”
“We were invited by Nathaniel Gonzalez…on that night…we saw Uriel turn into El Charro Negro…it was amazing how he saved our lives…we also saw you helping people escape…”
“I didn’t do much that night…Uriel on the other hand…he was a real hero…”
Both of them laugh. Dr. Ortiz changes his expression; “Has he woken up yet?”
Alejandro looks at the lake with a sad expression; “No…he has been asleep for two days…he did fight two Gods and survived but still…”
“Don’t worry son…he will wake up soon…I’m sure of it…now then, I think there is someone waiting to speak with you…” Dr. Ortiz looks to his right, Alejandro also turns and sees Marjorie waving at him; “ALEJANDRO!”
***************************************************************************
Marjroie and Alejandro walk towards the Hotel…
“So, how are you feeling?” Alejandro asks Marjorie with a shaky voice. Marjorie smiles; “I’m feeling great…my mana has been restored to its 100%.”
“That’s good to hear…”
Marjorie changes her expression; “Has Uriel woken up yet?”
“No…he’s still unconscious…”
“I see…” Marjorie looks down, Alejandro tries to cheer her up; “But don’t worry, I’m sure he will wake up soon…I mean two days is enough for him…let’s go check on him and you’ll see his awake…”
“Right…let’s go…”
As they go to the elevator, Alejandro chuckles, Marjorie looks confused; “Why are you laughing?”
“Well, I can’t believe that two days ago…we saw Quetzalcoatl and not only that…I was inside a volcano…nobody would believe me…”
“You right…tell me, has there any update on what happened that night…when you were surrounded by the members of the Church?”
Alejandro remembers what happened two nights ago…

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

THIS BOOK IS A JOKE DONT TAKE IT SERIOUS
8 102Does Hell Have an Adventurers' Guild?
I have decided to try out a different style. I cannot say much at this point, the story is mostly fantasy/romance and will evolve as I go, but it will involve an "adventurers' guild" in a demonic setting. MC will be a reincarnator becoming a denizen of hell, I will add vital description as I go. Gore will be used with reason, some bad words here and there and severe explicit or traumatizing content will be announced in advance, but it will not be the focus of the work.
