《Whodunnit? Murder On Mystery Cove》16 The First Lie
Advertisement
Grant was relieved when Lizzie and Tripp filled him in on their alliance. He had felt so foolish falling asleep during the investigation. They made a pact to learn everything they could by splitting up. Lizzie decided to approach Vivian who'd been in the morgue. Tripp found himself in a long chat with Natalie. Grant was able to speak to Regina and Bailey.
"I found something." Bailey pulled them into an adjacent room. "Here." He pulled out the note and put it on the table, it read: Open the door when the clock strikes four kill the beast and live forevermore ~Giles. Regina gasped. "Ruben thought Giles sent him this message so he opened the door and something...something monstrous came in." Bailey explained. Grant nodded. "We can't let anyone else know about this." He said. However, Grant was absolutely going to tell his alliance about this clue.
Montana had been watching Bailey for some time. She had seen him pick up something in Ruben's room and she knew he had to be hiding, something. She needed someone to trust so she could not hold this secret alone. Montana was not normally the conniving type but this game called for desperate measures.
She found Andrew by the stairs, studying them. "Hey, I thought you could use a friend." He looked up and nodded. "Oh sorry, I was looking for some sort of clue, I haven't heard anything from the people at the crime scene." He shrugged. Montana agreed and was about to tell him about the note when she paused. What if, Andrew was the killer? She doubted it but she couldn't be sure. He looked over at her, no doubt expecting more but the mother of three turned away and left.
Caleb and Natalie asked Lizzie what she had found. As Lizzie told them she had found nothing, Natalie found that very hard to believe. The two girls may as well have slapped each other in the face altogether because there was instant dislike between them. Caleb pulled her aside when Lizzie walked away. "I don't trust her at all." He said. Natalie nodded. "I don't either, I only trust you right now." When she said this, she and Caleb met each other's eyes. "Yeah?" He smirked. She again nodded. "She's probably the killer to be honest." Caleb whispered, laughing.

Giles suddenly ran into the room. "Guests, your riddle awaits outside. Forgive me, I have been tracking down-." He trailed off. "Lana, I need you outside at once." She was lingering behind the guests, quietly listening. Feeling caught, she obeyed, following Giles out onto the patio.
The guests all looked at each other as they walked outside. This riddle was going to be life or death.

Take Two!
College student majoring in botany has a fateful encounter with truck-kun while trying to get back in shape after realizing that his freshman 15 turned into the sophomore 20, and then the junior 30. After going through a very amusing(to some) hell, he gets the chance to transmigrate into a body of his own design on a magical world. Playing to his strengths, he chose the Plantkin race, and the new name of Sorrel to match. This is a slow-paced, magical, slice-of-life story with a focus on relationships. There will be sex(I'll try to keep the explicit stuff to a minimum, but it will be there), swearing, really bad jokes, and enough food to spoil your diet. There will not be a lot of action, epic quests to save the world, or anything even remotely resembling a big-bad-evil-guy(a few smaller bad guys, sure. But, no BBEG). Note: This is a re-write of my first story "Congratulations, You're Dead!". And, is much more what I wish I had written in the first place. The characters and the world are very similar, with a few key differences. The story may borrow some elements from Congrats, but should be considered as its own work. Reading Congrats first is not needed, or even reccommended, not unless you want to see some really cringey romance in the early chapters.

STAGNANTE: Land of Stagnation
Brogdar's southern continent is known as the Land of Stagnation; rather than deserts and drylands, the land here is filled with harsh steppes. Monsters walk its plains and most nations send criminals who've murdered to die here. These criminals overtime formed clans and tribes that were able to carve an existence out of the massive continent, yet unable to break the flow of the god's minions. To this day, criminals still arrive and pray to join these tribes. And as the boats arrive from the northern nations, Ronin Londer discovers tribeless criminals that aren't able to join right away: Stagnante. The only question he faces now is if he'll survive. Set in the farflung corners of the setting created for STEM: The Topical Dungeon, Stagnante follows Ronin Londer trying to survive the land of stagnation. Monstrous beasts, other stagnante, and even the tribes themselves will stand in his way to finding a new life in this land. This series will release chapters at irregular intervals, with a focus on the story taking "as long as it takes" to be told right.
