Chapter 207 Beautiful Lobster and Diorama Killer
After getting something to eat in the restaurant, Luke entered the casino on the ground floor at five in the morning.
The casino was still crowded with players who didn’t care about the time.
There were no clocks or windows in the casinos in Las Vegas, so that tourists could forget the time or wouldn’t rest until they had lost their last dime.
Luke took out a thousand dollars’ worth of chips and wandered among the tables.
Same as most tourists, he bet when he was interested and left when he wasn’t.
After an hour, he had taken a look at almost every kind of game in the casino.
His final conclusion was that it wasn’t hard to win!
But the easiest way to make a fortune was blackjack, which required the least cards to play.
As an experiment, he played a few games at a blackjack table.
He left the table after winning a hundred dollars. He converted his chips back into cash, and was left with just 820 dollars after losing the rest.
Luke shook his head inwardly.
He had spent a lot of time wandering among the tables just now. If he had instead stuck to one game the entire time, he could’ve lost hundreds of dollars in an hour.
It wouldn’t be a surprise if he lost thousands of dollars in one day.
Gambling is really bad!
Luke mumbled to himself and went back upstairs. It was around half past six.
Standing in front of the glass wall with a cup of coffee in his hand, Luke peacefully enjoyed the city skyline before dawn.
At half past seven, Selina came out drowsily.
Luke turned around and looked at her. “What are you doing?”
Selina said, “I’m going to the bathroom.”

Luke was speechless. “Need I remind you that your room has its own ensuite?”
Selina said, “Oh, I thought I was at home.” She then returned to her room.
Luke chuckled.
Selina coming out wasn’t a surprise, but did she forget that she wasn’t wearing pajamas?
What he saw just now was quite different from his view at the door to her room earlier.
When she moved and turned, certain parts of her body were truly… bouncy.
Luke returned to his room with a smile and changed his clothes.
He was going to visit Old Greyson, so he couldn’t be dressed too casually.
After he changed, he knocked on Selina’s door.
She had been in the bathroom the whole time. Did she have that big a bladder?
Leaning against the door, Luke knocked on it again. “Selina, get up already. We’re going to visit Greyson. We can’t be late.”
A long time later, Selina murmured, “…Okay, just let me sleep a while longer.”
Luke said, “I heard that the restaurant has Australian lobsters today.”
Selina suddenly came out of the bathroom. “Ah, I want to eat lobster.”
Luke said, “No problem, but put on your clothes first. I’ll be waiting for you outside.”
Confused, Selina looked down at herself and asked, “Why aren’t I wearing any clothes? Did you take them off me?”
Luke didn’t respond to her slander at all. Did she not remember that she had only slept in her underwear last night?
Selina wasn’t really bothered either. After living with Luke for months, she had accidentally exposed herself too many times to care.
Half an hour later, when Selina came out in a gorgeous outfit, Luke whistled. “Well, well. You’re getting prettier every day.”
Selina did a little turn. “How do I look? I’ve never worn this before.”

Luke remarked, “It’s beautiful and suits you well.”
Selina wasn’t dressed in the style of an officer. With her brown coat, her black-and-white plaid shirt, and her gray pants, she looked sexier than usual.
Nobody would think that she was a police officer.
Selina nodded in satisfaction and went downstairs for breakfast with Luke.
She wouldn’t have been so gung ho about getting up if it wasn’t for the Australian lobster.
After Selina had her fill of Australian lobster and Luke paid the bill, they left for the forensics center.
At ten to nine, they showed their credentials to the guards and entered the forensics center.
Selina was quite amazed by the forensics center’s interior design, which was quite futuristic.
Luke smiled and didn’t say anything.
He didn’t expect to be able to visit the holy land for CSI teams so soon.
He found Old Greyson’s office, but nobody was inside.
Luke asked a person who was passing by. The man looked funny and had a funny voice, but he was a nice guy and told them that Old Greyson was in a nearby lab.
Luke and Selina thanked him and found the lab twenty meters away.
A handsome middle-aged man was scrutinizing a diorama in the lab as if he were appreciating a work of art.
Luke knocked, and Old Greyson reluctantly put his magnifying down and looked at the door. He then smiled. “You’re here.”
Luke asked, “Can we come in? That looks like fun.”
Old Greyson said, “Of course, as long as you don’t touch it.”
Luke leaned closer and observed the diorama for a while. “This is practically a masterpiece. Greyson, when did you become an artist? This is pretty lifelike, and gory.”
The diorama was in fact a realistic-looking murder scene. Even the blood and the injuries on the victims were perfectly depicted.
Old Greyson thought for a moment and shook his head. “It’s not my work, but an exhibit by a serial killer that we call Diorama Killer.”
Stunned for a moment, Luke observed the diorama more carefully. “So, this is a calling card left behind by the killer? There must be more than one of them, right?”
Old Greyson pointed in another direction. “There’s another one over there.”
Luke went over to the second diorama, but instead of observing it, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
A moment later, Luke turned back with an odd expression on his face. “Have you found any leads on this Diorama Killer? Like… her gender?”
Old Greyson asked solemnly, “Her? Are you saying that the Diorama Killer is a woman?”
Luke said, “Maybe, maybe not. She could be an accomplice, or just the person who helped the killer to make or place this diorama. It’s a woman no older than thirty years old.”
Old Greyson said, “…Are you high?”
Luke chuckled and said, “No, it’s just my gut feeling. I doubt that it can be confirmed without proof.”
Frowning at him for a moment, Old Greyson nodded slightly. “Alright, got it.”

Chosen Chaos
30 years have passed since first contact. Earth has now been accepted into the galactic community, is expanding its territory to other planets, and has begun to adopt the myriad advanced technologies found throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. But as the least advanced race in the galaxy, the Earthians are struggling to carve a niche for themselves, made all the more difficult by the fact that they are the only race in the entire galaxy incapable of developing supernatural powers. Until recently. Few know how or why, but small groups of Earthians have begun to display superhuman abilities — and the militaries of the galaxy have begun to display interest in them. Combined with the rise of an evil thought to have been vanquished two decades ago, these superpowered Earthians are forced to choose between the value of their own lives… and the value of the entire galaxy. Part 1: Chosen Few — A mundane visit to the local science museum starts off a series of worrying events for Austin Travis and his friends. They would like nothing more than to continue living their lives as they have, but the universe seems to have other plans… Part 2: Chosen Elite — CSF-1 and the Eximius Vir return to normal military operation and discover a clue to finding powerful ancient technology. However, they aren’t the only ones to discover this clue, and soon find themselves in a race against time to prevent the technology from falling into the wrong hands… Part 3: Chosen Hidden — As the summer comes to an end, Pierce Bradley and his friend prepare for their last few days studying abroad on an alien planet. Pierce would like nothing more than to return home and flaunt his new experiences in front of his friends and classmates, but the universe seems to have other plans… Chosen and its three parts begin the Key Saga, a new novel series that takes place 20 years after Rise — which tells the tale of the aforementioned evil. Reading Rise is not a prerequisite for reading Chosen, but it will help to understand the setting and the various conflicts within. Character art on cover by @quassihollic on twitter.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
