《Phantom Year one》Family Ties
Advertisement
Naa after checking on the hostages an making sure everyone was alright decided to interview some witnesses but she failed to get useful information except for the genders of the robbers. "how are we on the security cameras?" Naa went up to their tech guy, "all cameras went down during the robbery, there is a code running through the Bank system"
"can you crack it, or at least find out who is responsible for it" Naa asked the important question but the answer from the tech guy was a shake from his head which caused Naa to walk away disappointed.
The next day;
Hank on the other hand had left the bunker returning back above to be with his cousin, “Hank” Michelle called as she saw Hank appear in the kitchen. “cousin” Hank answered with a smile on his face, “how the hell do you keep doing that?” “Doing what?”
“I swear I searched this whole place for you yesterday and this morning the maids were certain you didn’t come in, in the night” Michelle spoke up still staring at Hank with her brows quirked in anticipation of an explanation.
“I’ve been here the entire time” Hank spoke with a straight face which seemed to piss Michelle off even more. Hank who the saw the look on her face continued, “I just went to bed early is all” “early? You left the party around five what are you a grandad and second I checked your room and you were nowhere to be found”
“It’s a big house there are a lot of rooms some you don’t know about” Hank continued, “so even the maids in this house know nothing of these rooms”
“I grew up here, they did not. Mm this is good” Hank spoke the last sentence with a mouth full of cereal. “hey, get your own” Michelle grabbed back her bowl of cereal which Hank attempted to take another spoon from, with that done Hank managed to draw Michelle’s attention from where exactly he was last night.

Truth be told Hank had not spent the entire night hidden away in his bunker, after being unable to gain information from the files he had he went searching for various gangs hoping to get some leads as he had managed to before but they seemed to have learnt from before leaving him with no information and turning the night to nothing more than him venting his frustrations on the unlucky criminals he met.
Deciding to forget about the failure that was last night Hank spent the remaining morning with his cousin.
Hank was not the only one feeling stressed about his lack of success as Naa was venting her frustrations on any of her supplies that were unlucky to come into her line of sight. “Urgh!” Naa let out a cry of frustration before falling into her chair ad covering her face with her hand.
“Well, you look terrible” Jarred spoke up as he saw his partners state, “I have a series of robberies which involve a murder of one of our own which I am no closer to solving and just last night I was sent round the city trying to catch the Phantom! So you tell me just how am I supposed to feel right now” with the mention of the Phantom Jarred could sense her anger which was slowly transforming into hate.
“You have start looking at things positively, maybe… I’m saying maybe, he could be hunting down the criminals too” Naa narrowed her eyes at him hearing that, “since when were you on his side?”
“I’m not on his side, was just trying to help you calm down”
“Well, that is doing the opposite of calming me down”
“I see that now, so why don’t I offer you an apology… lunch?”
“Yeah, but I am picking the place. Prepare to lose this month’s paycheck” Jarred broke out laughing hearing what Naa said before moving back out to continue working.

In a coffee shop not far from Thompson enterprises Ferdinand was seated with his laptop before him. His fingers were moving all over the keyboard as code after code kept appearing on his screen after a few more seconds of furiously typing a window appeared on his screen causing him to break out into a grin.
Immediately after he picked up his phone and placed a call to Hank,” hello” “Hank I got something big it’s about…” Ferdinand trailed off as he noticed two people walking into the coffee shop seemingly looking for someone. When he saw them, he gained an inexplicable feeling like they were after him.
Deep in his thoughts Ferdinand was unaware of Hank who was getting worried as each second passed. At this moment Ferdinand made eye contact with one of them, he immediately got a feeling from his spine that told him to run and so he did.
Grabbing his pc, he made a run for it with the two of them following after him just like he expected. They run into an alley and into another street but the two were persistent. The run continued for a few more minutes before finally Ferdinand was trapped as he came before a wall.
Turning around the two men where before him with caps casting shadows over their eyes . “Okay that was a fun game of chase, how about we schedule for next week?” Ferdinand nervously tried to diffuse the situation but his attempts was met with a gun, his eyes widened as this moment but before they could pull the trigger a knife flew at them knocking the gun out of his hand,
All three men turned to the source to see the Phantom jumping down and landing between the three. The two men shared a look before charging at him, the phantom grabbed an arm that came straight for his face before sending a hit to his gut that left the guy wheezing, The other one tried to attack as well but the Phantom dropped the guy he was holding and avoided the hit moving behind the guy slamming his elbow into the back of the man’s head he knocked him out, the hit also knocked of the cap revealing the guy’s face.
The Phantom attempted to interrogate one guy but heard something jumped away just in time as gunshots started blazing with the cover of gunfire people came over and the two on the ground were rescued leaving a shaken Ferdinand and the Phantom who walked up to him “you have five seconds, what the hell is going on?”

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
