《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife
Advertisement
At the press conference:
Everybody was quite stumped with the CEO's ringtone.They had lost their train of thoughts and did not know what to ask anymore.Outside the conference room was a different matter.All female employees were swooning and claiming that their CEO was the best and most romantic.They just knew that such a great man could not stab anyone.
Inside the conference room:
The phone had stopped ringing by the time Assistant Yang handed it to Ryu. Taking the offending piece nonchalantly,Ryu pointed to the earlier reporter to continue the question.The 2nd reporter looked a little lost and said,"Uh....I had meant to ask if the marriage was love or arranged but I... umm I guess that would be considered a stupid question now...."The reporters all nodded their heads inwardly and not dared to ask any question.But everyone was now even more curious."Who was this 'normal' Madam Long?She had not only tied down the Typhoon but also made him 'a boy with love'.After this the press conference was winded down and somehow everyone had a smile on their face.
Nobody knew what to say to their bosses after this fiasco...
In the hospital room:
Maniacal laughter could be heard coming from the room.Neil Long had just reached the hospital to visit his friend and seen the savage way his 'poor' brother was treated.Taking out his phone,he texted,"How are you doing,Mr boy with love?"
Alicia who was tired of hearing Neil laugh maniacally,turned her head to glare at him."Get out, Neil.Here I am worried sick that I have gone and fallen in love with your brother and you are irritating me with your laughter."
Neil's laughter was cut off mid way when he heard Alicia's rant and he was at a loss for words.It had been his dearest that these two people fall in love but now that it was happening he did not know how to react.With a big smile he declared,"that is a good thing isn't it?Why are you irritated?You are falling in love with your OWN husband and not someone else's!"

Turning sharply to stare at Neil,Alicia answered,"the problem is that he needs to fall in love with his wife as well!"
"Stupid!Didn't he just declare that he loves you?"
"That was me.I was angry at him so I changed his ringtone."Replied a glum looking Alicia.
Neil stared at his once intelligent but now dumb friend and said,"Al,are you trying to test my brother?by being bratty?If you are then keep doing it and you will know that my brother has the patience of a saint when it comes to those he calls his own.He may not say the words but you will hear them clearly. Ok?"
With this Neil decided to leave her alone so that she would have time to sort her thoughts.With a one hand hug and a ruffle of her hair,Neil bid Alicia goodbye.
Bored with Neil's departure and feeling antsy,Alicia rang the bell on the bedside and waited for Nurse Mo to come.Once Nurse Mo had entered,Alicia said,"Nurse Mo,I am feeling cooped up and the rain has just stopped so the weather is fresh.Could you take me for a round in the garden below stairs?"
"Of course Madam."With that nurse Mo came and helped Alicia to sit on a wheel chair.Soon they were at the elevator and then out in the open.Nurse Mo pushed Alicia's wheel chair towards a peaceful corner where there was a patio set up.Feeling the tranquility and the smell of fresh mud after the first shower of rain brought a small smile to Alicia's face."Nurse Mo,please order a cup of cappuccino for me.It has been a while since I had lunch."Nurse Mo left with a bow.Nurse Mo felt that this patient was very good and did not make too many extravagant demands like many other spoiled madams.

As Alicia enjoyed the air and peace,she was not aware of another set of eyes following her movements.A young man wearing black buttoned up shirt and blue jeans,approximately the same age as Alicia was staring at the woman.As he looked,he was mesmerized by her beauty once again.Last when he had seen her,her face had been haggard and skin pale.She had been lifeless but still beautiful.But now she was glowing.Gone was the matted hair and down turned lips.This woman looked like the essence of beauty with a gentle smile. Without being able to control his feet,he walked towards the beauty.As he went closer he observed that she was sitting on a wheel chair.For a minute he was worried but then noticed her bandaged leg and realized that the situation was temporary.By now he had reached her wheel chair and was standing in front of it.Alicia looked at the pair of legs that turned up in front of her,ready to greet whoever was standing there.Looking at the face of the man,the smile on her face disappeared as if never there and she turned her head to look the other way.
"Hello.How are you doing?",the stranger asked.
"Who are you?What do you want?"

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.

Personal Agency
It is better to die knowing. Listen. The world as you know it is not as you know it. It is a construction, a facade, a mural painted over the world to hide the fact that it is very broken on some fundamental levels. That there exists an entire spiritual realm, one of cognition and perception and memory and that it teems with awful life. The world was not made for us. Jacob Irwing is a fairly normal 26 year old American man. He's an amateur photographer, unmarried and does not work in his chosen field. He is also dying, right now, in the first chapter of this story. Someone has put a bullet in him. Agent Z is a fairly abnormal woman of no nationality. Her age is classified. Her name is classified. Her background? You better believe it's classified. She works for the people who hide the truth. She is going to wake up with a hole in her head in the first chapter of this story, surrounded by corpses and also by a dying fairly normal 26 year old American man. Burned and seemingly abandoned by the Agency, Agent Z has lost her memory, her security clearance and her authorisation. All that she's gained is Jacob, who is thoroughly in this shit now. Together they must work to uncover the truth, if any such thing even exists, in this erratic urban fantasy weird-fic. Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Australian time.
