《Helluva Harem》Backroom Labyrinth
Advertisement
As you try to maneuver your way through the darkness you look for Octavia to see if she has moved from her current position.
Y/n: Octavia can you see anything, it's really dark in here and I'm scared that I'll knock something over
Octavia: Yeah I can see just fine, let me find a light switch
You heard Octavia shuffle pass you, assuming the light switch was behind you, you heard a click, and the room lit up, you see a vast array of things you recognize not just music albums, they had game consoles, Movie posters, and some DVDs of movies, you decide to start looking around and Octavia follows suit.
Y/n: You see anything interesting so far, I know some of these dudes over here *Holding a record pointing at it* this guy sucks only white women listen to him
Octavia grabs the record off your hands and looks at it.
Octavia: Ed Sheeran? What type of name is that, Let's see what else we can find
Y/n: How about I take the left side and you take the right, we can cover more ground like that
Octavia: Sure, I wonder what wonderful mysteries we can find in this archive
You both chuckle, After a few minutes you selected out a few records to show to Octavia while she shows some records that interested her, you both go to the end of the archived records to sit at the bean bags laying there, nice of T-Bone to have some chairs for people wanting to lounge around.
Octavia: So what did you pick out Y/n, I assure something interesting
Y/n: You have no idea, this place has everything, I picked out some weird ones for you, And what did you pick out?
Octavia: Just some records and a CD that caught my interest and wanted to see if you know them
Y/n: All right hand them over
She hands over her finds and you analyzed, not bad for a beginner in listening trying to figure out what human music sounds like.
Y/n: Well this album right here *pointing to Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath* Is Black Sabbath, these guys are the pioneers for Heavy metal, Originally some people described there music as hard blues-rock, but little did they know, they just started a whole music genre, The guitarist Tony Iommi,fucked up his Middle and ring finger in a sheet metal factory, he was told he could never play again, but clearly that didn't stop him, he would make false fingers by using the plastic from a dish soap bottle and detuned his guitar so the strings were easier to bend, giving it a massive heavy sound, there some personal favorite tracks in here such is N.I.B, Black Sabbath, and Evil Woman *pointing to the next record* This one is living in darkness by agent orange, a punk rock band, the original 3 members were Mike Palm on guitar, Steve soto on bass, and Scott Miller on drums, They got a lot of attention from their song Bloodstains, but besides from that not alot is known about them, *grabbing the Cd* and I'm surprised these guys are, this is one of my personal favorite bands death grips, an experimental hip hop group from Sacramento California, The group consist of Stefan Burnett, also known as Mc Ride on vocals, Zach Hill on drums, and Andy Morin on keyboard, the group released a mixtape called exmilitary in 2011, But there debut studio album was the money store, Both receiving insane amounts of praise and I can't blame them, all there songs are great, Some of my favorites are Beware, klink, flies, centuries of damn, and On Gp,

You look at Octavia and she seems entranced by your knowledge over music
Octavia: Damn Y/n I didn't know you were such a music nerd, you think you can learn about that much about hell's music
You chuckle
Y/n: If you let me get used to it here, and give me a year I can probably be somewhat knowledgeable in hells music
Octavia: I see, atleast you like doing your research, I like that about you
You blush a little bit at that compliment, you then grabbed the records you picked out
Y/n: Ready to learn about these dudes
Octavia smiles at you
Octavia: Yeah lay it on me, let's see your recommended picks for me
Y/n: *grabbing the first record* These guys are called Zig zags, They're a Heavy metal/Punk rock band based in L.A, their first album simply called Zig Zags was recorded and mixed by Ty Segall, a very famous producer and musician in the rock industry, *Grabbing a CD* Here we have MILKCAN, a completely fictional band made for a rhythm game made for the playstation one, They only have 1 album and it was used in said game, *Grabbing the last record* And here is king gizzard & the lizard wizard, there's so much info on these that I can't even tell you all the info without getting Late to work so I'll give it short, These guys are cool as fuck
Octavia laughs at the last description and then gets up from her beanbag and overs her hand helping you up
Y/n: Hey I'm having fun Octavia but I have to get going or else I'll be late to work
Octavia: I understand, hey maybe I can give you my phone number and you can text me anytime you want
Y/n: That would be great but I have nothing except my wallet and the clothes on my back, I don't have a place to stay either, I was lucky enough a coworker gave me a place to stop for the night
Octavia: Oh, well hopefully you can get everything you need with this job, I really want to do this again, it doesn't even have to a music shop we can go on walk or go to the mall
Y/n: That sounds like a plan, hopefully we can pull through with it
You and Octavia put back most of the records where they belonged and started heading out of the basement filled with human treasures. As you were about to leave the record shop you noticed Octavia was talking to T-Bone.
T-Bone: So what can I do for you your highness, Need me to delete the security footage *raises one eye brow and smiles*

Octavia:*Blushing* No sir it's fine, I just wanted to buy this
Octavia hands him the CD copy of death grips exmilitary to T-Bone, T-Bone whistle as if he was impressed.
T-Bone: Wow princess I thought you were a connoisseur and your bringing me this, I didn't know you were such a virtuoso with this stuff
Octavia giggles
Octavia: It's not for me it's for him
Octavia was looking over at you but you weren't really paying attention you were looking at one poster that caught your attention, it depicted a woman in sensual pose, she wore a fur coat and a very short dress, her cleavage was pretty visible and her eyelashes were long, her horns had a star on each one, she had hot pink skin, and at the bottom of the poster it spelled out Verosika Mayday, and you can't help but think that she's so damn familiar to you, but you can't point it out.
T-Bone: alright that will be $191.27
Octavia hands T-Bone $200 and tells him to keep the change.
T-Bone hands Octavia a bag and her receipt, She looks into the bag checking if everything is secure and then looks back T-Bone
Octavia: Can I borrow a pen, I need to write down something important
T-Bone: No Problem little lady, just don't break it I don't have a lot, they kinda just disappear after awhile if I dont keep track of them
Octavia takes the pen from T-Bone and writes something down on the receipt, she then gives back the pen to T-Bone, he puts the pen in his shirt pocket and goes back to his chair, Octavia exits the shop and waits outside.
T-Bone: Hey, Kid what's your name
You look at T-Bone.
Y/n: Oh it's Y/n
T-Bone: Well Y/n, welcome to hell, I can see your a newbie here, hanging out with the daughter of a hell prince and what not, don't be alarmed though it's none of my business
Y/n: Thank you sir, so far I've been liking hell, it's been really interesting compared to what I had in my past life
T-Bone: Don't call me a sir, we're buddies you can call me T or T-Bone, says it right here on the tag
Y/n: Alright T have a nice day
As you head for the exit T-Bone yells at you to grab your attention
T-Bone: OH and y/n, next time you visit, that little hidden room will be sound proofed, just for you and your little "friend" there
He smiles at you manically, you nervously laughed as you walked out the store, You saw Octavia leaning on the wall staring at her phone, she then looks up to you and hands you a bag, you look inside and you're shocked to see the CD of exmilitary in your possession. You look back to Octavia and she smiles at you.
Y/n: Octavia I can't accept this, how much did this even cost you
Octavia: Doesn't matter, think of it as a welcome gift and plus there's another suprise in there, check the receipt
You looked into the bag and grabbed the receipt, as you looked at it you see something written in ink, it's reads "Octavia 1-800-7244466"
Octavia: Once you get your phone be sure to add me and call me, I want to hang out some more, and plus you don't seem like an asshole
Y/n: Will do, Maybe this first contract can help me atleast get a cheap place to stay
Octavia: I would offer if you wanted to stay at my place but my mom will probably kill you since you're a "commoner", She thinks the whole family is "too good for these low lives", I just choose to ignore her, my dad on the other doesn't care
Y/n: It's fine Octavia, if I can't find somewhere to stay tonight I'll probably just crash at the I.M.P office
Octavia then gives a hug, unexpected but a welcoming hug, you hug her back, the hug was nice and warm, her feathers giving you a sense of protection even though you're taller than her by a large margin. After your hug was over you said goodbye to Octavia and made your way to I.M.P

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)
