《Rise of the Henchman》Chapter 17: Hero's Kid
Advertisement
After finishing the mission I met up with Jason at the extraction point, where I entered his car and we drove off.
“Good job, you were swift with your kill but I would advise to not act outside the scope of the job. Fortunately you had leeway to take some liberties but you won’t always have such a luxurie. So don’t do it again.”
After the lecture we continued to drive to the point we missed our exit home.
“We just missed our exit.”
“No we didn’t. We are going to the next job. What, did you think that cake walk was it? That was just to wet your feet, the real job is next. Also, you should know since there are a small number of blacklist agents there are times where we get jobs in quick succession.”
“Dammit.”
“That’s the spirit.”
We drove through the night and arrive at the designated location at daybreak, where we can see a cabin next to a lake. After getting out Jason passes me some papers and starts giving me the rundown.
“The target is John Monier, he is the son of The Falcon. We are to eliminate him because he is causing a lot of trouble.”
“What is he doing? killing villains?”
“No, he is a spoiled brat that just won’t stop. So far we have evidence that he has raped a couple dozen women and it is believed he has killed one by accident and it’s believed that he will escalate things. The reason he is free is because of daddy. This has caused some problems for the heroes so we have gotten the call. From the intel I’ve received there should be six people coming here, two are his friends and the other three are women. The plan is to kill all them.”

“Why all of them?”
“His friends have enjoyed the “fun” with him. While the women, well they are just collateral damage.”
With that we wait until the guest arrive. At around noon, we finally see them, where Jason makes some small talk.
“The guy maybe a bastard but he has some taste.”
“Yeah, the blond is really amazing.”
“Sure is. Wait, I think I know her.”
“From where?”
“Shut it, I need to confirm this.”
After which he walk away working his using the void library app. After a few minute he comes back and says, “This has gotten complicated.”
Great, I needed it rougher.

Mage Among Superheroes
Turlough is a mage. He also happens to be an orc, generally lauded as being less intelligent than humans. He was unfortunately born with the Curse of the Barbarian, meaning that he can’t level up except through combat- which greatly hinders his ability to show he can be a proper mage. In a world with necromancers, dragons, invading armies, and all sorts of other monsters he would still be able to advance quickly, but unfortuantely… that world is not his world. An unprecedented peace reigns across the land, and in the last several decades there’s been little use for people capable of fighting- and thus little reason for people to fight him. So when he sees a portal in his master’s study he takes it, hoping to find a horde of demons or something equally foolish to combat at low level. But instead he ends up in a strange city full of skyscrapers and people running around in colorful outfits. Superheroes- and of course supervillains as well. What dangers and opportunities could await him in such a strange and unfamiliar world? Only time will tell. Inspired by many things in the superhero genre, and Super Minion specifically- though while the setting will share some standard elements, it is an original setting that will hopefully be as engaging as many of the other universes. Schedule: One chapter each Monday/Thursday, approx. 2000 words.

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!
