《The Midnight Man》Chapter 13 - Crazy Lady
Advertisement
May hid behind a nearby tree as she watched thirty Midnight Men pile out of the building. She knew she couldn't stop them. All she could do was watch as they made their way to the other buildings. May ran through the dense trees behind the building and quickly dug a hole big enough to crawl underneath the metal fence.
May ran for her life until she was in the big busy city. She could see the cars zoom past on the road. She could feel the nice cool breeze in her hair. It was a cold day, with a few clouds in the sky. May ran across the road and into the nearest shopping centre.
"HELP!" She screamed, running down the aisles, "HELP! SOMEONE! ANYONE! WE NEED TO STOP THEM! THEY'LL KILL EVERYONE HERE!" Customers leapt out of her way as she stormed to the front counter and started screaming at the cashier. She looked crazy. "THEY'RE COMING! THEY'RE COMING! QUICK, WE ALL NEED TO HIDE!!!" She screamed at him
"Ma'am, please calm down," He said in a low voice. "Can you tell me who is coming?"
"T-T-THE MIDNIGHT MEN!"
"The what?"
"THE MIDNIGHT MEN! THEY'RE COMING! THEY'LL FIND ME!"
"Okay, just stay calm. Where are they?"
"THEY WERE IN THE BUILDING! THEY WERE IN THERE WITH ME! THIRTY OF THEM! I ESCAPED THOUGH! I CRAWLED UNDER THE FENCE AND RAN!"
"Ummm..." The poor cashier had no idea what to say. There were now about fifty customers listing to the conversation, trying to figure out what was going on and everyone was thinking the same thing. Had she escaped from the looney bin? Everyone just stood there staring at the crazy lady at the front counter.
"Come on!" May shouted, "Do something already!"
"Okay, um, I'm going to call the police..." The cashier said nervously.
"Police? No, we need the army! The Midnight Men are demons! My son killed one and now they want to take over the world! They were holding me captive! They killed my friends and stuffed their bodies with candle wax!!!" May shouted.
"Okay, so, um... Let's see what the police can do to help you..."

8 2112New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM?

I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out.
