《Pact with a soul of hell.》Who is the man?
Advertisement
Behind a hotel door, Alexander rests. Inside, the sound of the bed and moans.
The moans of the woman are so powerful as if she were saying: Harder.
Alexander knew the voice. Even if he were miles away, he would still know who was.
Let's go back!
Dressed in a suit, probably a higher number, Alexander was here for a job interview. Though he had not received the job, was convinced he would succeed at some point.
He did not waste, so many years in law school for nothing. Right?
Although disappointed he still had hoped, but when life hits you, it hits you hard.
At the entrance of the hotel, at the arm of a man dressed in a high-quality suit with a visibly good cut, was his girlfriend.
At first, he couldn't admit the truth. It was just someone who looked like her! She wouldn't do that!
And we get to the moment left behind.
It's important to know, Alexander was an average man. At least he tried.
But you know that moment when you go from bad to worse?
The moment when are lost and you, come up, with all sorts of bizarre ideas?
For example: to kill someone!
But then there comes something that tells you: Life goes forward. You're not like that!
Alexander was in that moment.
What's worse? Moans! It seemed as if they were instant, canceling the phrase Life goes forward.
And here comes the confusion.
You know what's weird? Everything is happening quickly. You do not even know when you made the decision.
It just happens.
Then you are, there with your hand to open the door. And you can't do it. You realize you're not like that!
This doesn't refer to Alexander. He opens the door, looks around.
But when he wants, to enter the room sees an open safe. Besides money, a gun and condoms is a notebook.

Alexander was sure the notebook was not just a notebook.
He pulls the phone out of his pocket and begins to photograph every page.
When he was finished was no longer interested in the infidelity of his girlfriend.
There was a big smile on his face.
-MY LORD! The new maids have arrived. a guard behind Xavier's room door
Xavier opened his eyes and looked blank.
[Of all, I had to dream of that!]
Xavier stayed in the same position for a few seconds without doing anything. It seemed he remembered something forgotten for a long time.
[Did Xavier's memory come to me and make me remember things of my past more accurately?
There are some things, that must be forgotten forever. That's why I wanted to get out of hell. It looks like hell is following me here]
-MY LORD?
-Come in!
A guard came in with a pile of papers.
[I forgot about it]
- Put them in the study room!
The guard nodded approval and rushed into the study room.
-Did the new maids arrive?
-Sir Frederic has dealt with arrangements, and they have arrived in the morning.
[Frederic ???? ]
After a few seconds Xavier quickly found the person in his mind.
[Frederic is my assistant. I'll have to check how loyal it is. But first.] Xavier's eyes landed on the pile of papers in the study room.
-What happened to the prison maids?
-Sir Frederic left the decision for my lord.
-Very well. You can leave!
After the guardian's departure, Xavier did not miss a second and went to read each report. Only to find out that it was absolutely useless.
Reports from previous months were good, but this month was perfect. Very perfect.
If Xavier was to be discovered dead, no one would find anything. From the events in the library to the stuff for food preparation, everything was perfect. Even the dinner menu, was written.

Every person who enters, except Xavier, is controlled at the entrance to the library. That is why the staff is not numerous.
And the guards are all elites, part of the legion. All servants have the room in the library.
In the report doesn't write that May came out the day before the assassination even though she was out. Without exact memory, Xavier wouldn't even know.
May said a lot before she died, but Xavier cannot trust everything she says.
As a tall, masked man, he presented himself as a sender of the Xerex prince and promised her a maid job in the royal palace. And if she's a smart girl, she can be the king's concubine.
It was hard to believe that just for that you could kill.
Most likely the masked man was classified as a special talent, being able to manipulate her feelings.
Yes, Xerex has a good reason.
Are the words of the masked man true?
Other nations also have a reason.
How can I find this man?
[This world is much more complicated than the previous one.]
Xavier decided it was too hard. Frankly, he regretted that he had rushed to kill May. Always rushing to kill. That put him in trouble the last time. This time it will not act like this.
[You would think, that once you die, you learn the lesson ..]
He decided there must be major changes.
With a thoughtful face, Xavier goes to Frederic's place.

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.

The Huntsman's Quest (An Urban Magic Quest/RPG)
Jon Whitaker went to summer camp expecting a nice relaxing time as a newly minted counselor in training. He was not expecting to fight an army of monsters, work with a serial killer, enter a one-sided friendship with an eldritch horror, or study under a competing witch and dark lord. But regardless of what he was expecting, his summer is over and he's made his way back home where he can try and return to a normal -for him- life. Too bad life rarely goes as expected. --- Please Note: This is forum quest/RPG I run in the same city/setting as my other stories Hacking Reality and Get Ink'd, meaning that while a majority of the plot is made up by me, the major choices as well as what each chapter is about are usually made by the actual readers in forum votes. Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.

A Fragmented Mind
"Hi there. My name is Richard Maddox, but my — admittedly nonexistent — friends call me Rick. I live in a world of superheroes and villains. A world filled with magic and physics-defying powers, and in this world, I'm just an ordinary, completely average 17-year-old boy. My imaginary friends, however, are as far from average as you get. You think you're good at deluding yourself? Well, stand back, because it's time for a master to show you his craft. Welcome to my life, the life of a madman." This story was originally inspired by the 'Legion' novella series written by Brandon Sanderson. If you've read those books and liked them, it might be worth giving this a read. The same goes if you haven't read them either, I guess. (Currently re-writing earlier chapters)
