《Bad Habits {V2 Out now!}》Volume 2: Chapter 18: The Next Milestone

Rin’s eyes lightened up. The Orphan that was completely destroyed, was now turned into a mansion which looked a lot like the Orphan, but way more luxe. Rin walked slowly to the door and knocked.
The door opened up, her eyes lightened up again.
“It’s Rin, the place is clear.” Nokado said.
The others peeked through the hallway and pushed her in, then they quickly closed the door behind her and locked it.
“W- What is going on?” Rin asked.
Takumi peeked through the cough, as the others closed the curtains.
“Well… Ehm… It started kind of like this...” Takumi mumbled.
- - - - -
Nokado gave Takumi a fist bump.
“Yeah, the mansion is finished!” Nokado said, smiling.
“Indeed, but with this it means we don’t have maids anymore doing the rooms.” Takumi said.
“From now on, we need to clean the place ourselves!- ” Takumi stopped as Rikishi coughed out his drink.
“W- What the hell!?” Rikishi said.
“What, are you bad at cleaning?” Takumi asked.
“Well yeah, that too, but-” Rikishi slammed Today’s news article on the table.
“Loot Boxes are counted as gambling?” Takumi asked, reading the article out loud.
Rikishi, who was confused, looked at the article.
“Oops, wrong side.” Rikishi mumbled.
Rikishi turned the article.
Everyone’s eyes widened up.
The article said…
“Six Young Criminals rob 25 Million Yen, A Bounty of 1 Million Per Person has been confirmed.”
Takumi stuttered.
“W- What do we do now?” Takumi said.
“We’ll have to live in Colombia from now on.” Rikishi replied.
“Of course not, idiot!” Tado replied, as he let out a sigh.
“We could just hide ourselves, they don’t even know our faces.” Tado followed up.
“Eh? Looks like someone grew balls.” Nokado replied, grinning.
Tado’s eyes lightened up and his face turned red. He quickly placed back his surgical mask.

“I- I am sorry.” Tado replied.
“It’s fine, it was meant in a good way.” Nokado replied, shrugging.
“Anyway… What Tado said was right, from now on we should never put our guard down.” Ukato said, looking around.
Ukato suddenly pointed to Kuruka.
“Especially you!” Ukato suddenly said.
Kuruka was shocked, as he took a step back.
“W- What do you mean?” Kuruka asked, confused.
“You bought a suit worth of 100,000 Yen, idiot!” Ukato followed up.
The others turned to him.
“100,000 Yen!?” Rikishi shouted, shocked.
“I- I don’t know what you’re talking about...” Kuruka mumbled, nervous, trying to laugh it off.
“Oi, don’t laugh it off!” Ukato said.
Takumi pulled his hand up.
“It’s okay...” Takumi said.
The others turned to him.
“... I mean, I bought one for 250,000 Yen, so-”
“WHAT THE HELL!?”
- - - - -
“That’s kind of how it went, so yeah.” Takumi said.
Rin was shocked about the bounty.
“So, what should we do now?” Rin asked.
“For the time now, I don’t know…” Takumi said.
“... But I have something in mind that could work.” Takumi followed up.
“It won’t matter, for the time being we could just have some fun.” Rikishi said, smiling.
Rin instantly noticed something about them.
As if they all changed their personality with each other…
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Their eyes widened up.
“S- Shit… That might be the cops.” Nokado said, scared.
“Don’t be ridiculous, it probably is something else...” Kuruka said.
“Like what?” Nokado asked.
“I don’t know… Maybe we didn’t park the car properly?” Kuruka asked, opening the door.
He looked, but saw no one in front of him.
“...Eh?” Kuruka said, confused.
Suddenly he heard someone having pain underneath him, as he slowly looked down.
His eyes widened up.

“Kuruka who is it?” Nokado asked.
Kuruka walked up with someone on his shoulders, their eyes widened up.
It was the girl from the Byakuya Clan, named Akane. She had wounds all over her body, and two bullet shots on her right leg.
“Oi, isn’t that...” Nokado mumbled.
“Yeah… It’s the leader from the Byakuya clan.” Takumi said.
“What happened to her? And why is she beaten to death?” Rikishi asked.
“Not to death, she is unconcious...” Kuruka said, laying her down on the couch.
“...We should take care of her.” Kuruka followed up.
“T- Take care of her?” Rikishi asked.
“I hope you remembered she tried to kill us...” Rikishi explained.
“... And she won’t hesitate stabbing us in the back for a million Yen.” Rikishi followed up.
“But she might have answers for us, we have to take the risk.” Kuruka replied.
“You’re right...” Ukato said.
“...Rin?” Takumi asked.
“Y- Yes, Takumi?” Rin asked.
“Could you, come with me for a moment?” Takumi asked, smiling.
“O- Oh… Sure.” Rin said, as they both walked through the front door.
Tado could instantly notice that something was off.
They both stood outside, looking at each other.
“...Rin.” Takumi said.
“Yeah-”
“You know what I am going to say.” Takumi interrupted her.
“N- No… I don’t.” Rin replied.
Takumi took a deep breath, as he looked her in the eye.
“I want you...”
Her eyes widened up.
“...To stay away from us.”
Rin’s eyes were in shock.
“W- Why would I?” Rin asked.
“Why? Because we are wanted, I don’t want to bring you in danger-”
Rin grabbed his hand.
“I won’t leave.” Rin said.
“Rin, you can’t stay here.” Takumi replied, cold.
Takumi looked back inside, then back to her.
She pulled her hand away.
“Let go of me and leave.” Takumi said, again.
Rin grabbed his hand once more.
“I said I won’t.” Rin said, frustrated.
“Man, you’re annoying as hell!” Takumi shouted, pulling her hand away.
He slowly walked back to the door.
The others walked out, but Kuruka stayed with Akane.
“Leave, before you get killed by someone.” Takumi shouted.
“Why, don’t you trust me?!” Rin shouted back.
“I do, but it’s too dangerous for you to be here.” Takumi said.
“Well, you just don’t get it… You think you are a criminal, but you aren’t.” Rin said.
“What has that to do with this? Just leave...” Takumi replied.
“Fine… I’ll leave...” Rin mumbled.
“... Just like how Ryan and Anne left, because of you!” She screamed, and then walked off.
Takumi’s eyes widened up, as he slowly turned.
“You son of a-”
Ukato grabbed him by his shoulder, so he stopped turning.
The others looked at him. Takumi let out a sigh.
The door suddenly bursted open, Kuruka ran out of the door.
“G- Guys, she is awake!” Kuruka shouted.
The others looked at each other, and then ran back inside…

- 15:23 -
A group of five people walked out of the car.
“Daniele, we made it to Tokyo.” One of them said, grinning.
“Yeah… We did.” The man named Daniele replied.
“But, we aren’t the first one’s, don’t get too happy.” Daniele followed up.
“We are not here for a vacation, but for a ‘business meeting’.” Daniele said, finishing his small speech.
“When you say it like that it sounds like something really boring.” The man replied, letting out a sigh.
“Don’t worry, it’s gonna be far more than boring.” Daniele said, grinning…

AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots... Please leave a comment! If you want to help me more, support me on Patreon. I'm always trying to come up with new ways for you to participate in this journey. New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!
