Esme pov
I felt like I was hit with a bus when I woke up, squinting my eyes to get rid of the black spots in my vision, I finally felt how tense my body was.
"Yes", startled I looked up to see 2 tall figures over me, looking closing I recognized one of the faces as Matteo,
"What the hell happened" I said while rubbing my head, "Can I have a Panadol or something man" I sighed frustratedly,
The unknown figure scrambled away and got some water and panadols,
"Are you just gonna stand there and stare at me like I'm on display" finishing my water,
"I-how did you even get here" Matteo finally opens his mouth,
"umm, next question" I said while looking around,
"No answer the question Esme"
"umm unknown figure did you hear something.... i think you've drugged me" I said staring at the stranger...
"I know you...but I don't know from where", i pointed at him suspiciously
"The names Enzo, I'm the ghost's best friend" the stranger said,
"You are friends with a ghost that's kinda sad, don't you think" , I said trying to prolong the conversation so I wouldn't have to answer Matteo's question.
"Ya tell me about it" Enzo said playing around.
"I can hear Yall you know" Matteo said irritatively,
"No shit" I said while roiling my eyes,
"And to answer your question I followed you...now you answer my questions. What is this? Where is this? And lastly, who the fuck are you?"
"This is a house, we are at a warehouse......" , he said not wanting to answer the last question, but when I scowled at him he continued,"...and I'm the leader of the Italian mafia" , he said while scratching the back of his head.
"whipped", Enzo whisper well tried to, I ignored him and took time to take in the information and thought of an answer,

"Okay" I said while laying back in chair,
"Okay???!!" Matteo shouted seeming stunned that I didn't really react,
"I had a hunch", I shrugged
"Since when" Enzo said snapping out of his stunted state,
"ummm in Italy...it was quit obvious, the house, the clothes, the guards and oh yh the gun"
"Gun where the fuck did you see a gun" Matteo asked curiously,
"Your closet when I was look for clothes to wear, btw I still have your clothes they are very comfortable" I said cheekily
"umm okay, so does umm this change how you see me or umm yeah" Matteo said nervously while stumbling on his words.
Aww cute..
"No.... but can you teach me how to use a gun... ouu can I get a dagger" I said excitedly while jumping up from the couch.
"I can teach you" Enzo butted in,
"Yesses new bestie",
"Wait why does he get bestie, but I get friend" Matteo spat, looking disgusted by the word friend
Ignoring Matteo, I started to look around the living area that we were in,
"Wait so do you live here, I thought you lived in Italy", I said curiously
"Si I do but I also have houses here and business here so I'm always back and forth, right now I'm here for mafia business"
"Oh, wait is Shane in the mafia with you" trying not to laugh at the thought of the Shane in the mafia,
"God no I would never hire that fool for that work", he answered,
"Okay, well I have work in the morning tomorrow"
"Ill drive you back" Matteo said getting his keys.
"No no its okay, bye Enzo, bye teo "I said walking to the door quickly before he can ask me anything else or try to convince me to let him take me home
"Esme" Matteo shouted making me stop in my tracks
"What happened to my security guard" he said looking amused,
"What guard" and dashed out of there.

Recruit - An Infinite Labyrinth prequel
A prequel to The Infinite Labyrinth. The year is 1816. The British Empire is in full swing, under the auspices of King George III. The Infinite Labyrinth has been pouring out its product from beyond our reality and fostered a new industrial revolution. Times are changing, and the people of London are feeling the winds of the revolution while British Professionals push into the Labyrinth. The newly formed Artefact Hunting Company is looking for recruits, and they have new technology to help them. From the slums of London, they aim to recruit a new wave of Professionals. And make Zacharias and the Earl of Carnavon lots of money. So, for Rowan Rivers and a handful of lucky ones, it's time to head into the Labyrinth, and discover what makes it different from England. And what makes THEM different? Recruit is a bunch of chapters I wrote to create to the setting, mood, and game systems of the Infinite Labyrinth. It is NOT a complete story in the classic sense. It's more of a slice of life view of early days of a normal Professional from the Infinite Labyrinth, and it's heavy on info-dump. It's 90% canon - there's probably a bit of a difference between how some characters and common behaviour are portrayed here and how they'll come out in the main story. Set two years before the events that kick-start the main series, it features some of the secondary/peripheral characters of the Infinite Labyrinth and will tell you all about the basic mechanics of the Labyrinth's RPG system. It can be considered a spoiler, as the characters in the Infinite Labyrinth are going to need to figure out all that, on their own. But if you like a much deeper exposition in the mechanics, here it is. The entire prequel is about 80 pages long.

The Lost Archon
One early spring afternoon, sixteen-year-old Reid is going for a walk when he finds a magical occurrence taking him to another world. A world where he is considered an impossible mage - and where he becomes ridiculously powerful quickly. Though he's happy for the adventures he can go on and the friends he makes, Reid also wants to find out how he got there and why, and if there's a way to return home to his parents. Reid's priorities in this new world are learning magic, going on a few adventures, dealing with his feelings for the cute wolfkin Terrence Windfang, and seek an audience with the gods. All but one of them, he finds, is significantly easier than he expected. This is a participant in the [April 2022 Royal Road Writathon Challenge]. The story is also concluded as of 4/26/2022. IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP guy doing OP guy things. There will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure. 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story. Ever. 5) This story will not contain sexual content as it will end after Book 1. As such, Reid and his future boyfriend will never reach 18+ years of age in-story, so they will never have sex in the story. There will also be no harem in this story. 6) This is a part of the Royal Road April 2022 Writathon Challenge. 7) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
