《Whodunnit ?》Chapter 19 - The Final Six
Advertisement
Six of the seven remaining guests were chilling around Rue Manor. Brianna was in the last section of her shower, Michelle was doing the laundry in her suite, Jamie was flipping through a book he brought to the manor in his suite, Nelson was checking out the Rue Manor book collection in the library and Reynold was straightening his bed sheets until a loud crack and 'whoosh' sound filled the air. The next loud sound of splash made the guests know that this wasn't an ordinary sound. Brianna even heard it in the shower.
Nelson. Brianna, Jamie, Michelle & Reynold all dashed out of their areas (Brianna in her wet towel) and followed the core of the noise. They soon realised it was out the back of the manor, and by the pool area.
"Where's Dan & Natalie?" Jamie asked Michelle as they jogged out of the back.
"I don't know." The redhead replied, "I haven't seen them since last night."
The five guests all gingerly approached the pool, there was someone at the bottom, face down in the pool. The water at this point was slowly mixing with the familiar sight (to the guests) of blood.
"Oh my god." Brianna gasped "Who is that?"
Reynold looked first, peering over the edge. "It's Natalie."
Reynold was in fact right. At the very bottom of the now maroon colored pool, Natalie Underwood was laying face down.
At this point, Dan came out of the back doors of the manor towards the pool.
"What are you all looking at?"
The guests all whipped around to see Dan, alive and looking worriedly at the other guests.
Jamie sighed and pointed to the pool. Dan gingerly looked over.
"Shit. That's Natalie." Dan confirmed it was the social media marketer as he took a step back in shock. The footballer definitely thought that he was going to be the next to be killed off, so he shocked, to say the least when he saw Natalie's body at the bottom of the pool.
"My dear guests,"
Giles's British accent caught the guests off guard as they all turned around to see the butler looking pretty glumly in their direction.
"It seems that Miss Underwood has left the game with a splash!. Welcome to the final six."

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.

Checkpoint
as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”. now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably. /————————————————— this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen. if you’re want world building check out hitchhikers guide to checkpoint (an encyclopedia of what I made up with lots more explanation)
