《Inked and Dangerous》49 ~ Ryan
Advertisement
Why did it have to be Montana? There wasn't a fucking FBI office for seven hundred miles. The local authorities had been contacted and were on their way to the last location Felix mentioned before she was escorted from the car by Donovan and Jordy, but Ryan wanted to be the one to kick Jordy in the nuts, although he wasn't exactly moving at the speed of light. In fact, Ryan was currently trapped in a Cessna with Bronson headed for the Middle-of-Nowhere, Montana. At least Fulton hadn't insisted on tagging along, and Ryan basked in the jerkoff-free reprieve, focusing instead on the radio receiver as it fed him information.
"It smells like cheap motel in here," Felix said.
"Were you expecting the Four Seasons, Miss Taylor? I'm not inclined to spend money on deserters, especially ones who plot to ruin me." There was a clunk and Ryan flinched. "Here is your laptop. I'm sure you recognize it. We also have Andy's laptop. They were removed from your home before it was regrettably incinerated. I am going to make you a proposition that I think you will agree to, since the alternative would not bode well for your current physical state." A moment of silence passed, and Ryan imagined Donovan attempting to intimidate Felix with a criminal gaze. "I want you to spend the next twelve hours teaching Jordy the methods you and Andy use to track accounts in exchange for not killing you."
"That's a very generous proposition, but I don't see how you can expect me to teach Jordy in twelve hours what it took Andy two years to develop."
"I suggest you give it your best effort."
"Jordy, what is your highest level of education?" Felix asked.
"Fuck you, Felix," came Jordy's response.

"Miss Taylor. I'm sure it wouldn't take a genius to learn how to manipulate a few numbers on a screen. I'm not asking you to teach Jordy the code, I just want him to be able to do what I ask him to do. What I used to ask Andy to do."
"And you're assuming I know what you asked Andy to do? I haven't had much involvement with the accounts since I helped him finish the code."
"I know how involved you are. I found a lot of useful information on your computer. It was a bit of a trick getting past your security, but I called in a favor from a buddy of mine and he cracked the code, so to speak. Such a lovely family you have. Your sister doesn't share your stunning eyes, but her children are precious. Like little angels. I'd hate to see them become real angels before they've had a chance to experience life."
"You're a bastard."
"My personality traits are not the topic. The topic is your brilliant mind. I need you to use that mind to help me run my business, and because you have proven to be an unwilling team player, you have forced me to use your family as leverage."
"The fact that I have a brilliant mind doesn't mean I can teach Jordy a complicated coding system in twelve hours. He's much more suited to the task of henchman. Can't you find me someone else? What about your friend who broke into my laptop?"
"Do not question my methods, Miss Taylor. I would have you teach me if there wasn't an important engagement requiring my attention for the bulk of the evening. Make sure Jordy takes detailed notes. I will check on your progress every few hours. In the morning, we will discuss what your future looks like. Have a pleasant night."

Witches of the Night
Few know this, but, beneath our cities, in the midst of forests and mountains and even under the waters of the ocean, there is another world, a world full of magic, fantastic places, and mythological and imaginary creatures. By chance, I became aware of it, and my curiosity led me to explore it. Now, I regret not having controlled myself, not having ignored this knowledge and continued with my regular life. For, though I have seen incredible things beyond the imagination of most people, I also met the Witches of the Night and the terrible truths about the human condition and the place of humanity in the universe they brought with them. How do I get back to a normal life after everything I saw? I don't know if it's possible, but this account is an attempt to mitigate the terrible effects of this knowledge, a first step toward normalcy.

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****
