《Lucky SP》Chapter 9 - Investigation and Class 310
Advertisement
Inside Burst Industries skyscraper in downtown Chicago. On the top floor, a handsome young man was leisurely glancing at documents inside a folder marked confidential. He was Reston Burst, the young genius CTO. His eyes were the color of autumn brown leaves. His Blue suit had intricate white markings and designs handsomely printed across it. His hair was disheveled and messy, but his appearance was clean. "Mmm?" Reston was shuffling through the documents swiftly, but paused. He focused on the file which caught his attention. [Morgue Lab 5 theft investigation report] His eyes slowly ran across the report and he frowned deeply. "Incompetent." Reston dryly threw the report on his desk. "Aaron, I'll be going out to eat this afternoon." Reston was handed a pea coat from his secretary. "Okay Sir, I'll have Brook bring the car around." the secretary Arron replied. "No. Today, I will enjoy the fresh air a bit." Reston smiled leisurely. "Okay Sir, I'll notify the Alpha guards." Arron nodded. Reston waved his hand in acquiescence before walking out of his office and pressed the elevator button. The elevator arrived at the bottom floor, where a team of body guards in blue uniforms waited for him. They silently followed behind Reston as he left Burst Industries headquarters. He strolled past the food stands along the streets. After 15 mins of walking, he entered into a sushi restaurant: "Emperor's Food". It didn't take him long before his food was served and he ate leisurely in a corner. The body guards quietly sat a distance away from Reston. "Do you think anyone will have the courage today?" one of the body guards said. "Fool. He can't possibly have a woman throwing themselves at him every time he goes out alone." Another guard joined in. "Quiet. It's happening." the guards stopped talking. They watched as an attractive woman approached Reston and introduced herself. She smiled and laughed in a flirtatious manner. Before a disappointed look crossed her face and she excused herself. "Aww, this is why I shouldn't gamble." a guard commented in annoyance. "Hehe pay up Toby, the Boss was asked out again." the previous body guard taunted. "Sigh. Why is god so unfair?" the body guard sighed. ... Unknown to the body guards, ominous spiritual entities sat around Reston. Each of them projecting a red-black aura. Three different Bodie bobbed up and down on the ground next to him. And a snake-like creature with a human face, about 2 meters long curled around the base of Reston's chair. A disk-like portal of red-black energy appeared on the wall next to Reston as the w meter tall humanoid with dark red skin stepped out from it. The portal closed behind it. Reston formed a triangle with his hands and cast Spirit Technique: Isolation field around his table. "Doran, it's good to see you." Reston dabbed his mouth elegantly with a napkin. Doran, the red skinned humanoid with horns and wings which had just arrived, snorted. "Metyor, don't act like you're above me." Doran replied with a sneer. Reston, or Metyor, responded. "Isn't it true? I am older. It is natural." Doran changed the topic. "What is it you want?" Metyor folded the napkin, which he had placed on his lap, and answered. "I need help investigating the Morgue 5 Thief. My resources are currently limited." Doran narrowed his eyes. "You are one of the most resourceful demon entities. You expect me to believe there is information you can't get?" Metyor shook his head. "It's not as you are thinking. I need another actor for right now." Doran contemplated as he caressed his horns. He snorted. "Fine, but you owe me dinner." Dorian faced the wall. "Meta-force Technique: Opposing Archways" A red-black disk portal opened. "Bye then." Dorian stepped through the portal and disappeared. Reston dispelled the Isolation field and got up to leave. The snake with a human face creature uncurled and slithered away. The 3 Bodie's lingered around Reston as he left the restaurant. After a few minutes, they got bored, before following after a random man along the way. They eerily moaned "Hunngrry... Hungryy ...". Metyor patted his stomach and stretched his arms high. He watched his Alpha guards following behind him. Two of them were arguing over a lost bet. Metyor's lips curled in distain. "Human's are the best cattle. I admit he was right about that." ... Mr. Devlit, Zero, Marian, and Lucky entered into room 310. It was stuffy. It looked like it hadn't been used in an entire year. Room 310 was a cooking classroom. It contained 3 large open areas for preparing meals, including a sink, oven, and dishwasher. Mr. Devlit motioned for the three boys to take a seat on the tiled floor as he flipped a switch to turn on a fan. The air circulated from the swirling fan, which made the stuffiness more bearable. Mr. Devlit calmly created a new isolation barrier with his hands. "Mr. Devlit, are metusor's powerful?" Zero asked. "It depends." "Depends?" Lucky frowned. "Yes. Metusor's rely on their connection to meta-force to cause interactions with reality. Technically, nothing is impossible if you have enough meta-force to give and a way to transform it." "So, you mean not all metusor's can be powerful, because they don't have enough meta-force?" Zero asked. Mr. Devlit surrounded his hand with red-black energy. "No, not entirely. Do you see this red-black energy around my hand?" Lucky and Zero nodded. "This is meta-force." Lucky stared at the red-black energy intently. "Meta-force is an energy which is born from souls, at the moment of death. " "But the energy quantity is not as important, as the ability to transform the energy into something useful. This is the difference between powerful metusors and weak ones." He extinguished the meta-force surrounding his hand. Lucky was deep in thought. He thought about the Bodie Spirit entity the other day. "Mr. Devlit, what those Bodie's then?" Lucky asked. Mr. Devlit nodded as he took out some chewing gum and threw it into his mouth. "A Bodie is typically lower ranked spiritual entity which is formed by meta-force and resentment." "Can those creepy fuckers use meta-force?" Marian asked. "They can use it to some extend, however, most Bodie's do not grow to Rank B or above and obtain a meta-force circuit. They are typically unintelligent. But they could use Spirit Techniques, if one were born intelligent enough." "What about Alpha humans?" Zero questioned. Mr. Devlit's expression turned strange. "Alpha humans... what would you like to know about them?" Zero continued "Can they fight spiritual entities?" Marian interrupted. "They have to see them first dumb ass. Only metusors can see them." Mr. Devlit confirmed it by shaking his head. "Only meta-force can harm spiritual entities." Mr. Devlit paused and took out a small piece of thin greenish-blue paper. He handed a page to each of them. The paper was slightly transparent and there was a marking in blood, making it look like a talisman of some kind. "Alright, now we can get to the fun part. Kids, don't disappoint me."

My World To Live
[Do Not Read this version, New FINAL version uploaded August 9th, 2021 as separate fiction, click to link here on RR. Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters both demons and spirits in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who just reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is an abnormal human with elemental powers, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world of magic, danger, mystery, and intrigue. But this not a game. That simple adventure is actually the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tear even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought she was. And not even the gods can change the destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence. — Fantasy || Adventure || Romance || Action || Mystery || Drama || Science Fiction — The My World To Live (MWTL) series, the alternative short name is Canaan, is comprised of three books symbolically named My World, To Live, and My World To Live. Two years prior, the entire story had been planned and detailed out from start to finish before actual writing. Thus, the story will never be dropped. While the genre is largely Fantasy, the book is comprised of many other elements including a School Life (Magic Academy) story portion. MWTL has a lot of scattered symbolism and allusions, hence, the mystery aspect. The science fiction elements progressively become more pronounced, and the slow romance is a late bloomer. The female lead is strong and independent, and her backstory and identity unravel as drivers of the plot. Expect lots of action/fighting throughout and scattered philosophical and psychological themes arising. It's a human journey to find the essence of one's living and purpose. What kind of world do I wish to live for? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope to share the journey with you~! Canaan's Original and New Covers: If you're curious about my art and the various covers I made for this series and other authors, I have a RR thread that makes free covers and shows art processes. [October 1, 2020 Notice: Hello, I aplogize to all followers for suddenly taking an extended hiatus. Life threw a lot at my face and then the pandemic happened, so I hadn't been able to write until around the last month when I decided to challenge myself and finish the first book in this series. I am ok now, and thank you for your patience and understanding. No words can express how much every reader means to me. RR was the first writing platform that I ever felt accomplished to any small degree, so I am forever grateful to it. Multiples changes have been made since this final revision and writing of the ending, so please see the latest chapter detailing the update. This also includes my decision to submit this story to the 2020 Wattys contest (the deadline was Sept 30th). That means I will not be posting the updated version of this story on here until the contest is over (since I doubt I'll win anyway lol). And so, if you want to read the full, now completed (woohoo!) story, please go to my Wattpad. Thank you once again, and wishing you all the very best health and happiness! FINAL UPDATE, March 7, 2021: The complete story has been re-posted after the Wattys. This version that was on Wattys is the one being re-posted. However, the Final Version (which will be on a separate book from this to remain organized, and is technically the fifth version of the story xD) will be released May 2021. For more information, please read this update linked here. Thank you to all readers for taking this two year journey with me!

Tales of Ordinary, Completely Unremarkable Contractors
"Where life had no value, death, sometimes, had its price. That is why the mercenaries appeared." - Artur Xerxes, in A Century of Disappointment: Memoirs of a Travelling Dwarf It's never too difficult to land contracts for a set very specialised skills in a continent teeming with werewolves, vampires, giant leopards, undead and, god forbid, elves. The difficulty comes when these contractors find themselves suffocated in the dense atmosphere of this world's rigid - and mostly unfair - rules; death, suffering and misfortune await those unwilling to sacrifice to bend these in their favour. In this non-linear plot, you will observe a scarred and deformed farm girl cashing her first bounty posters, a seemingly ordinary barmaid at a tavern in the bustling centre of a sprawling, corrupt city and an enigmatic leader of a firm specialising in dealings any other would consider suicidal. Watch them all take everything to the next level at every available opportunity, and then feel dread at the thought that this still might not be enough to halt the physical embodiment of doom about to do what it does best Please, feel free to review and comment! Any sort of feedback can help me become a better writer and write more engaging stories for you. I used to update once every 3-5 days, but this rewrite is taking much too long...I do hope it will be worth it.

Order: Slayer [Modern LITRPG Progression]
The modern world was met with a tumultuous surprise when strange portals opened, leading to other worlds, and from them came monsters who had nothing but the foulest of intentions. On that day, humanity received their greatest tool in combating this threat: the Slayer System. Those who accepted the System's power were called Slayers, and they had created a new, prosperous peace. Decades after, Alexander Shen lives in Ordo, the Slayer Capital of the world, months away from graduating at his university. Although uncertain about his future, he wishes for nothing but a normal life for himself and his younger sister. However, as another disaster strikes, finding himself in the throes of catastrophe (once again), he realizes that the stars have other plans for him. Having his normal life snatched away from him, he is determined to fight, even if it means shooting down the stars. [SAGA 1: STARBORN NIGHT] The Ordo Disaster has begun, and the golden barrier has been raised for the safety of the outside world. Nothing is getting out, nothing is getting in. The people of Ordo are trapped in their own homes with monsters banging at every door. Alexander has to work with the Slayers in order to free their city from the invaders, and to protect everyone he loves. Current Arc: Arc 2 - Comet Order: Slayer is a modern LitRPG progression, inspired by works like Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. If you like a character-focused story, a system that allows for various types of magic, some romance, all with a foot in realism, then perhaps you will like this one. You will see clever characters, strong characters, absolute idiots, and more, interacting in the modern world. The story is structured into Sagas and Arcs. Sagas revolve around a central plotline comprised of multiple Arcs. Due to the premise of Saga 1, do not expect much progression in the story until the saga ends. Schedule: Chapters will be posted three times a week: Monday - Wednesday - Friday at 12PM EST.
