《Moonlit sky》Chapter 26 - Flint and diamond

"Here is the list you wanted, i wrote down some of their special skills or talents they may have that might prove useful." Said Ishida as he passed down piece of paper to Tenebris.
"Good job, is that blonde guy on this list?"
"He is, why is there a problem with that?"
"No problems, he has a fighting spirit, he just misdirected it, if he directs it right he will be quite useful."
"Is that how you see all people? Useful or not?"
"Yes."
"But why, don't you want to trust someone, don't you need someone you can trust?"
"If i see you as tools instead of people you will never be able to harm me, the moment i start seeing you as persons i will be vulnerable, and i won't allow that to happen. Just remember one thing, betraying me is a death sentence."
"I figured that much out, you shouldn't have problems with my group, as long as you keep most of them safe and not starving they won't betray you."
"I will be the judge of that, i need 3 cooks, 4 guards and a clerk, congratulations you got promoted to a clerk, you can pick rest of your group for other positions, and tell them that if they prove useful they will be promoted to second star, that will provide them with more contribution points, you will write down their contributions and i will personally rate them, that is until i have created suitable enough contribution point system."
"I could help you with that." Spoke Lulu who suddenly appeared on Tenebrises shoulder.
"What is that?" Asked shocked Ishida.
"I am not "that" young boy, my name is Lulu and i'm this dumb morons game guide."
"A game guide?"
"Yes, and quite an annoying one. Now tell me how can you help me with this?" Spoke Tenebris.

"It's actually quite simple, after clearing this game you will notice that even society has changed outside, most if not all towns outside this dungeon are probably razed, but there are other options, for example guilds. I could copy guild contribution system and make you guys something like temporary guild, which shouldn't be possible without guild creation token and paperworks at novice village, but if its temporary i could probably make it possible, you just need to input what actions are considered as contributions and how many points each contribution gets, but that would be all, no other guild function would be possible for now, at least without guild creation token." Explained Lulu.
"I see, so there are things like guild creation token in this game." Mumbled Ishida.
"Not only that, there are even village, city, kingdom, empire or even more creation tokens, but they are limited in numbers, i think there is only about 1000 guild creation tokens all around the world."
"That is quite few, considering there are around 7 billion people on planet that would make every guild at least a million humans worth." Said Tenebris.
"Yes, that would be true if you only considered guilds and human population." Spoke Lulu with a smirk on her face.
"What do you mean by that?" Asked Tenebris.
"Well first of all, guilds aren't only social groups available, and humans aren't only rational creatures on this planet."
"Yes, i forgot about that, there are other races now as well." Said Tenebris.
"Other races, what do you mean?" Asked confused Ishida.
"Well there are Elves, Dwarfs and Demons now too." Answered Tenebris.
"And how do you know that?"
"It's a secret. Anyway, i will work out contribution system with Lulu later, you just need to write down their contributions and i will rate it later, here is the list of contributing actions that are being awarded with points, there is also a list of actions that will deduct points but i haven't finished it yet, i will give it to you once i finish it."

"I see, if that's all i will take my leave now, we will clear out the room across yours, by the way what do you plan to do with all those bat corpses anyway?"
"Ohh right i almost forgot about them, well i have plan for them, we will use them later, i just hope they won't rot or disappear."
"They are system creatures now, they won't rot, but they will disappear if left untouched for more than 2 days."
"Okay, move them to the third room then, we will be using those corpses tomorrow morning, that's all you can leave now, i have work to do."
"Alright, tell me if there is anything else you need."
After a little more than an hour Tenebris left 4th basement room and entered next door where Ishida was with his group.
"Okay, contribution system is active, all of you should have already got notification now that you are part of temporary guild group. From now on your every action is rated automatically, daily work for 4 hours gives you 1 contribution point, 8 hours gives you 2 contribution points and 12 hours gives you 4 contribution points, every higher ranked monster than a regular monster will give you 5 points per its rank, starting from white rank semi-boss, slaying it alone will give you ten times normal amount of points. Now that i explained that have you already finished distribution of work?"
"We did, you have 3 girls that will cook and 4 guys that will work as guards." Answered Ishida.
"Good, 3rd room where bat corpses are currently will be made into kitchen later on, once we get rid of bat corpses, guards will work in shifts, you can decide on your own how long your shift is and whose shift is when, i suggest you use smaller shifts with more switching because slacking on job will cost you a liimb, sleeping on guard duty is punishable by death, also i need one guard who will be responsible for whole guard duty. Ishida who would you recommend as guard captain."
"Marcus, step forward." Spoke Ishida while facing the guys.
"Ok, Marcus you are now responsible for the guard duty, you are now 2 stars guard, prove your worth and you might increase your rank. Now i will be leaving, if you have any questions point them to Ishida, he will later forward them to me and i will answer them in due time."
As he finished his sentence he left without a care for them or their questions. When he entered the first room he saw Diana meditating in the corner, Tomm was fiddling with some tools while Tanya and Demian where sitting on their mats talking.
"You two seem quite leisure with your time, don't you have anything smarter to do, look at blackie even if she is weak she at least tries to get stronger, while two of you are lazing around doing nothing." Berated coldly Tenebris.
"We recently finished our meditation, we also gained some runes, let me ask you how many runes you have?" Asked angrily Tanya.
"None, but before you start gloating i should remind you that there is a big gap in our levels, if i sit over night and meditate i will catch up in rune count, but will you catch up with my level over night?" Said Tenebris with a cold smile.
"N-no... But you are a freaking monster, how can you compare yourself with us?"
"I'm not comparing you with me, that would be like comparing a flint to a diamond, i'm comparing you to blackie, she is still meditating, you aren't. It's that simple, work hard and be useful, otherwise you can leave whenever you want."

Martial Family
Shi Yan was a lonely orphan boy. That was only till he met an injured fox hiding under the bushes, whimpering. After much care and concern, the fox soon became his irreplaceable kin.

After the little fox-faced relentless torture and abuse, Shi Yan took revenge. The youth stole from the Mistress and ran off. With only the fox in his arm and a small pouch of stolen goods, he never looked back. *Well, I tried... This story is written in my spare time just for fun. It's very experimental so readers; do note. There are major changes in writing style within the series as I keep testing things out. Of course, that does not mean that the story actually deviates from its intended progress. It just means that your reading experience may fluctuate quite often... Anyways, I hope you enjoy this story. :D p.s. not sure if there will be any sex scene in this novel but the boy starts off as 7... so... long time till we get there. May have lollies though!

The overgrown mansion
The main character returns to her deceased recluse uncle's home to get his effects in order. This is the beginning of a lovecraftian story inspired by somebody telling me about the Brombeermonster, a particulary nasty blackberry shrub overtaking her family's abandonned home. A backdrop for a story about eery and unexplained things if I ever heard about one. I will post the two parts I already posted on reddit; more maybe if there is interest from the community.

Set in a modern city where Jesse Gil narrates his experience running a business capitalizing on his ability to heal any affliction — even death. He's forced to take on a student, Shawn Ellison, a spoiled college dropout who awakens abilities of his own, to prevent him from accidentally killing himself. As a result, Jesse must become more than just a healer. He'll need to master his power over energy: the fuel for life, the soul, and magic.

After going back to revise and edit; I will self-publish it.
