Chapter 643: Black Clothes in the Dark Night
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The young man in black was silent. He quietly looked at that beautiful woman in front of him. She was the most beautiful person in his heart. At this moment, he really wanted to hold her in his arms, but he couldn’t.
“I hope you will have a happy life,” he said.
“Wait, what’s wrong with your face?” The woman saw that the skin close to his hair was faintly black, which was a sign of an ill omen.
“It’s nothing.” The man hurried back a few steps. His face was a strange blood red color. “Take care of yourself.”
He turned his head and began to leave.
“Zhao Yinghao, stop!” the woman shouted.
The man paused. He wanted to turn back but resisted. He bit his teeth and left.
“What happened to you?” The woman’s eyes faintly shed tears.
First love was the most unforgettable. For some people, even if they were married and had their own partner, in the depths of their heart, they still hid some feelings that might be recalled from time to time in a quiet night. It was the best memory when they were young and had the most sincere emotions. It might be just one’s wishful thinking, or a longing from being separated from each other despite the mutual affection, but it still had to be kept personal and secret.
Tong Wei stood looking at the sea. She seemed to recall a boy smiling brightly. It was a boy who could shelter her from the wind and rain. It was a boy who could fight for her at night even he was black and blue.
It was unforgettable. It would be remembered to the end of her life.
Many people secretly sighed, How good would it be if we got together?
In Island City, the sea breeze was quite strong.
Buzz! Buzz! A mobile phone vibrated.
A message was received by a strange number. Go back early, the wind is strong by the sea. Such a fool!
Things out of reach were always wonderful, but it was too late to cherish it.
On the bustling streets of Dao, a man wearing hood rushed into a car. “Go.”
“Have you seen her?” another man asked.
“Yeah,” the man wearing the hood said.
“Is she alright?” the other man asked.
“Very good, very good.” The man wearing the hood had a hoarse voice. It sounded like his throat was torn.

“You can regret if you want,” the other man said.
“It is unstoppable.” The man wearing the hood looked out the window. His eyes were very firm.
“Hey, you can revenge, but you will be ruined,” the other man said.
“Master has a life-saving and parental grace for me. This love is worth everything,” the man wearing the hood said.
…
At the top of a high-end office building in Dao, Sun Zhengrong stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked out.
All of Dao could be seen. The sky was also in front of him. It felt very close to him. He appeared like an emperor looking at the city under his feet.
Knock! Knock! Knock! There was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” Sun Zhengrong said.
A young man walked in from the outside. He was dressed in a suit and looked quite capable. “General Sun, here is the information you wanted.”
“Put it on the table,” Sun Zhengrong said.
The young man has not yet left when another man came in from the outside. He was strong, bald, and expressionless.
After the young man left, the older man spoke. “Master.”
“Sit down, Hao,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“I have investigated it,” Hao said.
“How is it?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“It is relevant to them. Those people died from being poisoned. If it was me going there, I could not escape either,” Hao said.
“Where is the person? Is it Zhao Yinghao who escaped?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“Possibly. Uncle Lin has arranged people to investigate. You have to be careful these days, my lord,” Hao said.
“Well, I know trouble will grow like the grass with roots! Right, what is Yunsheng doing?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“Master, he is well organized in the business you arranged him to do,” Hao said.
“He has a long way to go,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“He works very hard,” Hao said.
“Well, he must be very tired. As my son, he might be out of control of himself, just like me,” Sun Zhengrong said. “Arrange someone to protect him. Anything unexpected cannot happen to him.”
“Got it,” Hao said.
The darkness was gradually coming. In this world, it was powerful.
The wind was blowing.
“Childe, you should go back,” Hao said.
“Well, I know.” Sun Yunsheng moved his body. His bones squeaked. He had kept sitting for too long. “Ah, is it after 8 p.m.?”

“Yes, I will take you back,” Hao said.
“No, I will do it myself,” Sun Yunsheng said.
“This is the arrangement of the master, please follow it,” Hao said.
“OK, let’s go,” Sun Yunsheng said.
The car was parked downstairs. It was an imported car that was very expensive. There were many bodyguards around the care. They were all very capable. In order to protect his son from harm, Sun Zhengrong had made a great effort and spent a lot of money.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a flash.
“What was that sound?” a bodyguard asked.
“I didn’t hear it,” another bodyguard said.
“Maybe I got it wrong,” the first bodyguard said.
Plop! A person suddenly silently fell to the ground.
“Be careful!” a bodyguard yelled
Plop! Another person fell.
Suddenly, the lights shone brightly, which attracting the attention of the people around.
In an instant, all six people fell to the ground, leaving only Sun Yunsheng standing alone. His was in a cold sweat.
These bodyguards had been carefully selected. Most of them were retired veterans from the military. Some were even former special warfare players who had killed people. But, none of them were equal to the energy.
Who was it? Sun Yunsheng stood there. Many people were looking at him.
A hoarse voice called out, “Here.”
Sun Yunsheng followed the sound and saw a man standing under the tree by the road. “Who are you?”
“Soon, you will know,” the hoarse voice said.
In a blink of an eye, that person disappeared. It was as if he had never been there.
The police came quickly. The six people who had fallen down were taken to the hospital.
After hearing the news, Sun Zhengrong rushed to see his son with his best two men at the fastest speed. “What happened?”
“They were poisoned. Someone wanted to attack me,” Sun Yunsheng said.
“Who was it?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“I didn’t see it clearly. It was just a shadow. He was very fast,” Sun Yunsheng said.
In the presence of so many people, no one saw it. This demonstrated a great ability.
“Hao, go to the police station to investigate the recent monitoring. I want to know who he is,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“Ok,” Hao said.
They acted quickly, but only saw a person in black sportswear. His head was covered by a hood. No one could see his face, so there was no way to investigate.
“Damn it!” Sun Zhengrong was outraged.
“Master, you have to be careful. They must be directed at you, and it is so hard to defend,” Hao said.
He had dealt with the so-called “singularly strangers,” so he was clear about their means. It was not something that ordinary people could imagine. Inadvertently, one might be targeted in a way one couldn’t think of and directly lose one’s resistance.
That time in the village, without the brilliant and skillful doctor, their lives might have been finished.
“What about the master Gu?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“He is on the way. He will arrive tomorrow morning,” Hao said.
“OK,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“Master, do you want to ask Dr. Wang?” Hao asked.
“Wait,” Sun Zhengrong said. He knew the character of Wang Yao. It was hard to ask him to come there. The only way was to go to him.
That night, the police in Dao were very busy.
Sun Zhengrong decided to go to the hospital in person to see the bodyguards who were protecting his son from injury.
“Master, it is too dangerous,” Hao said.
“It would be better to lead them out,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“They use poison, which can’t be defended,” Hao said.
“Go,” Sun Zhengrong said.
After a short while, they arrived at the hospital. The six men, who had been strong enough to beat 10 people at the same time, were all lying in bed. Each of them was in a coma. Their faces looked pale and weak.
“Doctor, how are they?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“Well, there is no danger to life, but they are very weak,” the doctor said.
“What is the mechanism this poison?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“Well, it makes people very weak, similar to drugs, but the ingredients are more complicated. You don’t have to worry too much. It is estimated that they will wake up tomorrow,” the doctor said.
“I leave them to you, doctor,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“It is in the line of my duty,” the doctor said.
He was very clear about who the person in front of him was. He was the richest man in Dao. It was hard not to pay him attention.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
