This happened to one of my daughters. I have 4 children in total. 2 boys and 2 girls respectively. But the naughtiest one would be my eldest daughter, who is also my 2nd child.
One day as she was about to leave the house, i remind her,
"I want you to be home before 9pm"
"Yeah yeah i know that," my daughter replied as she left.
That night, i waited for her arrival. 9pm and then 10pm passed by but she's no where to be seen. I messaged her, i tried calling her. But she didnt reply to any of it. I kept on waiting for her until i actually fell asleep on the couch at my living room.
"THUD THUD THUD! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR!"
I was awaken by the loud banging sound and my daughters cries outside the house. I looked at the time. It's already 1am!
"THUD THUD THUD! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR! MOTHER OPEN THE DOOR!" she continuously banged on the front door.
This time all my other children had shown up near the door, wondering who the hell is banging on it loudly. I went to open the door. My daughter looks horrible. Her hair all messed up, her eyes starry and red and she was crying. I quickly grabbed her in.
"Dian, tell Mummy what happened to you," i said as i hold my daughter who was still shivering.
She just kept quiet..and while still crying, she said,
"Brother..please close the door..brother please close the door.."
"What the hell is wrong with you?!" my eldest son scolded her.
"Dont scold your sister and close the door. Go and get her a glass of water." i warned him.

I read some prayers into my hands and closed her eyes with my hands. After a few minutes, i asked her again what actually happened to her. She told us that she and her friends had gone to the infamous and haunted Old Changi Hospital for some adventure.
Upon returning home, when she was in the lift, she felt as if someone was breathing loudly behind her. She felt odd because she knew she was alone in the lift. So she turned to her back and saw..a woman with very long hair, squatting behind her and was breathing very heavily. My daughter panicked! She kept pressing the buttons and when the lift door opened, she climbed the stairs and ran for her life!
After that incident, whenever my daughter goes out, she would be home before 7pm. I guess its a good and bad thing at the same time. After all, my prayers has been heard. She finally stopped coming home so late.
Thank you.

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.

Supervillain
The world is broken and rotten. It's supposed defenders are too weak willed to do what is necessary. It's leaders are too corrupt to care for those beneath them If they wont fix this world, then I will! I will make the world a better place ..... by any means necessary! Nice to meet you all. My name is Ginobi47. A lurker of fanfiction.net and now a writer of original fic.This is my first original work and I do hope you enjoy it! Do remember that this is a fiction in the Superhero genre. Please expect the craziness that goes along with it. NOTE: English is not my maiden language. AUTHOR'S NOTE: As I went through the other fictions of Royal Road, I noticed that my style of writing style (slow release, 1 big post) doesnt work well in this site. As such, I'll be experimenting on releasing smaller chapters more often, as this seems to be how the authors of Royal Road does things. Mind you, my release speed will still be very slow compared to others, but I'll churn out chapters more often than what I used to do. DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/M7bmjTH ANOTHER NOTE: Some of my readers convinced me to set up a discord server. While I have absolutely no idea what to do in a discord server, but if you're interested, just join in and go nuts. Suggest some storylines or characters, seek advice in just about anything or tell me your deepest darkest secret (you can PROBABLY trust me ^.^). Feel free to do whatever is fun
