《Ping Pong King》Chapter 5 - Night Raid Part 2

*CREAK!*
The doors cracked open slightly...large enough for Janet to squeeze through with her heavy armor. When they entered, they saw two more demon guards on the ground dead - arrows pierced through their hearts and their throats.
"I've also killed the guard above the city walls and positioned him so that he appeared to be sleeping in the eyes of the others." Pine replied.
"Most of the demons are sleeping. Let's split up. Janet and Risa, you go kill the demons who are sleeping. Make sure to avoid Tor and Nile. Do this quietly. Pine and I will take out the remaining guards and patrol groups." XiYang explained his plan.
"How should I kill them?" Risa asked.
"I don't know...drown them?"
"Ah...I could do that."
The four split up into their two teams and headed their separate ways. Janet and Risa snuck into tent after tent, house after house and killed the demons sleeping there. Pine and XiYang scoured the walls and shot down the few that patrolled the city walls. As for the patrols on the ground, XiYang used Ricochet Shot to knock the demon guards unconscious, while Pine knifed the ones he missed. Then, they both slit the throats of the knocked out guards.
Suddenly, an alarm sounded. Pine and XiYang looked up startled...did someone spot them? Unlikely...unless.... Pine looked around and pointed. XiYang looked in the direction Pine was pointed at. Janet and Risa was rushing towards them, a number of demon forces pursuing close behind.
"What happened?" XiYang asked.
"Someone was awake when we walked in." Janet grimaced.
"Can't be helped. Let's regroup."
The four person party retreated back. After being chased a few times, XiYang suddenly turned around and tossed a handful of rocks into the air. The move he intended to do was originally used for one ball. It was a powerful and fast topspin that he named "Meteor Strike" however, with this many rocks, he changed the name to something else.

"Meteor Shower!" XiYang roared as he fiercely smashed his paddle into the rocks. The rocks sped towards the approaching demons. The rocks accelerated due to the topspin and smashed heavily towards the frontlines of the charging demons. Those demons were knocked backwards and flying into the demons behind, slowing them down. With this diversion, the party of four successfully retreated to another spot.
"How many demons did you kill?" XiYang asked Janet and Risa once they found a place to rest and hide.
"We were only able to kill about nine of them." Janet shook her head in embarrassment.
"There's nothing wrong with that number. We've only killed off eight of them."
"Nine plus eight...plus the four we killed earlier...that's twenty-one demon guards. There's still ten more left including Tor and Nile." Pine calculated.
"Okay, let's try to kill the rest of the demon guards." XiYang replied as he looked around at his surroundings. "Pine, you are quick on your feet, go lure some towards that alley over there. That narrow pathway will be disadvantageous to the demons."
"Okay." Pine answered as he rushed out. XiYang and the rest headed towards the alley and laid in wait. Minutes later, Pine rushed over with about four demons chasing after him.

Dark Matter
In the year 2023, scientists investigating the nature of dark matter caused a blackout throughout the entire world of Coranth. With this blackout came the appearance of supernatural and near-magical elemental abilities able to be wielded by all. By harnessing the dark matter in the environment, even ordinary humans now accessed powers that would have been deemed fantasy. These abilities include Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Terra, being the five natural elements of which dark matter is absorbed by the planet itself. Additionally, the two moons orbiting Coranth offer the "Superior" elements of Dark and Light. The year is now 2041, and Dark Matter will follow the story of an adolescent boy named Raiden Sullivan in a dystopian future, 16 years old, eldest of 2, and son to Marcus Sullivan. Raiden is an intelligent young man belonging to a poor family with an absentee mother. He partakes in daily chores to cover living expenses after school and his home life is surrounded by his caring father and younger sister. In truth, this is my take on urban fantasy with slight LitRPG that keeps the "magic" elements somewhat scientific for a more realistic story. In using the dark matter surrounding our universe, humans can now harness elemental abilities as well as absorb dark matter from the beasts/monsters to further strengthen their abilities. For the most part, that'll be the main premise of the power system. Full transparency, this will be the first story I write and also the first story I publish, so please be patient with me. For some context, I'm an avid reader and after 4 or so years of only consuming, I feel that it might be time to try my hand at writing instead. Please feel free to add your opinions and criticism, it would be much appreciated. With that said, I hope you enjoy Dark Matter!

Rotten Magic (Runic Expansion Book 1)
Nearly three hundred years ago, the wonderful city of Sogara-dai fell. Their immediate wealth crumbled as they suffered for their ignorance and cruelty, becoming cursed to be Flesh Hoarders--ones who must live by eating the flesh and magic of another individual. Once they were rejected by their brother and sister cities of their country of Vaikoln, they were excluded from the rest, hidden in the void--never to interact with the world again. Suddenly, they show in the progressing city of Yulin-dai to remind the world that they will never be forgotten. Elanya Shunra wants nothing more than to enjoy her summer studying her rare Moon Magic and leaving all the other students in the dust. When she and her best friends get trapped in a burning airport in the progressing city of Yulin-dai, after hoping to spend a productive week in the capital, Zalatine, she realizes that the exciting and relaxing summer is not turning into the thing that she envisioned, nor one that she wanted to experience herself. Rigesh Altren left his stint in the military to find solace in Yulin-dai instead of returning home to his family in the countryside. As a Rune Specialist, he has all that he could ask for, but that doesn't deter him from perfecting his illegal elemental pistols to improve his magic. Working at the Airport and dealing with his previous lover was the least of his worries after finding the badly, half-eaten corpses of his coworkers in the breakroom. It seems this was more than what he bargained for.
