Advertisement
In the Island of Dolls, the souls of the children’s souls begin to leave the dolls and move to the sky, one by one the dolls turn to ashes.
“Well done muchacho, I guess this will no longer be the Island of Dolls.” Bella chuckles looking at the sky:
“I guess, it’s time for us to meet face to face…”
Meanwhile Alexa has now the Golden Key and heads to the airport. She informs Juan who is out of the country. Alexa chuckles looking at the key in the container:
“Checkmate Uriel. I have the golden key.”
“Good job mija, now as for the reward you may choose a horse and take it as your own when you get home.”
Juan, who is on the phone, tells Alexa. Alexa makes a little girl’s voice:
“Gracias daddy, I miss you.”
“I miss you too, I will see you in a month… be ready because our next mission is in the Borderland…”
Juan hangs the phone, Alexa chuckles:
“The Borderland ehh, well now, this is going to be fun”
***************************************************************************
Uriel looks at Trueno; “Good job…you can return now…” Trueno opens a crimson portal and disappears. Uriel falls into one knee, Alejandro immediately goes to help him:
“Hey man, what’s wrong?”
“I used too much mana…I’m afraid, I won’t be able to stand by myself…”
Alejandro grabs Uriel’s arm and puts it over his shoulder; “Don’t worry dude…I am here to help you…”
Uriel chuckles; “Thanks…”
Leticia approaches Uriel and extends her arms; “You told me to give this to you when everything was over…”
Uriel looks at her confused, he smiles thinking; “I think it was Vasco who said that to her…”
Uriel extends his hand; “Thank you for taking care of it…” Leticia uses the opportunity to kiss Uriel on the cheek to the surprise of everyone.
“Leticia…how bold…” Ana chuckles. “GYYAAHHH” The twins screamed with excitement. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Kasumi exclaims with her face all red.

“Uriel, thank you for saving me…I am forever in your debt…” Leticia smiles with tears in her eyes.
Uriel chuckles; “Don’t worry about it…I was just helping my partner…remember that we are currently on a field trip…besides…I promised you that I would keep you safe…”
“Right…”
“We must get out of here before someone arrives…” Antoine looks at Uriel. Uriel opens his eyes wider:
“I’m afraid it’s too late…we’re surrounded…”
At that moment, everyone hears movements in the trees and bushes; “You there…don’t move…”
Sister Veronica opens her eyes wider; “That voice…it can’t be…” Everyone looks up at hill near them. They notice that they are surrounded by nuns with spears and monks with swords.
There are two nuns that release an enormous amount of mana. Sister Veronica walks back; “We are in trouble…those are my Sisters…”
“Sisters?” Giovanni looks surprised. One of them points at Uriel:
“Charro Negro…you and everyone involved with this case…are here by arrested…”
April 18th, Hotel Mexica
Two days have passed since the incident in the volcano…the Mexican Government covered the events by telling the news that it was a natural disaster. Luckily, there were no casualties as people are aware of how to react to large eruptions. Many surrounding towns were destroyed by the people who were put into safety…As for the group…
It’s early morning, Alejandro, as the Student Council President, checks on the students to see if they are alright…Alejandro walks towards Room 520.
(KNOCK, KNOCK)
Alejandro knocks once again; “Hello? Marjorie…Marinette…Madeleine?”
Alejandro doesn’t hear a response; “That’s strange…this sure feels familiar” Alejandro grabs the key card that says Dr. Ortiz gave it to him in case of an emergency.
“This might be an emergency…” Alejandro uses the card to open the door; “I’m coming in”
Alejandro opens the door, the lights of the room are off; “Mmhmm I guess they are not here…”
“GGGYYYAAHHH” Suddenly, Alejandro hears someone screaming in the bathroom; “SOME ONE, HELP ME!”

Alejandro immediately runs; “Don’t tell me…did El Muerto return?” Alejandro opens the bathroom door, and a naked blonde girl with reddish eyes bumps into him. Alejandro opens his eyes and sees the girl:
“NOT AGAIN!”
Madeleine looks at Alejandro; “Hurry! the cafard returned!” (Cockroach) Alejandro sees the cockroach going towards them; “Don’t worry…this time I’ll…”
“GGYYAAHHH” Madeleine hugs Alejandro; “IT’S COMING THIS WAY!”
“Not again…Madeleine…I can’t see…”
(SQUISH)
Alejandro kills the cockroach once again; “There, all done…” Madeleine cries; “Oh, mercy…mercy…you saved my life…”
“Don’t worry about it…now I need to hurry before…” Madeleine pulls his arm; “Wait…”
“Madeleine, if they see us like this…I will be in trouble…” Alejandro sees Madeleine embarrassed; “Mercy…you really helped us the other night…I wanted to thank you earlier but…we…”
Alejandro smiles; “Hey, don’t worry about it…we are allies right?”
(PUUM)
Suddenly, Marinette enters the room with fruits and juices; “ Hello, Ma soeur, I bought something from the restaurant…” She sees Alejandro with Madeleine. Marinette blushes and screams; You pig…what are you doing to my soeur…again…”
“W-W-Wait…” Marinette releses a chilling wind sending Alejandro off the window. “AAHHH”
(SSSPPLLAASSHHH)
Alejandro falls into the lake, he comes out and shouts; “HEY, YOU COULD’VE KILL ME!”
“GO AND DIE…YOU PERVERT!” Marinette closes the window. Alejandro sighs and swims towards the shore.
“Hello son, taking a morning swim?” Alejandro notices Dr. Ortiz fishing. He chuckles; “Well, you know me…I love to exercise…”
Alejandro, dries up his clothes and sits next to Dr. Ortiz and looks at the lake. Dr. Ortiz swings the rod; “You know, I’ve been wanting to thank you for all your help…You and the others save my wife and my children…words can’t express how grateful I am…”
“Hey, don’t worry about it…it’s the job of a hero right?”
“Hahaha…you are correct…but I also wanted to thank you and Uriel for saving us the first time…”
“You mean, this wasn’t the first time?”
“No…during the Attack of the Chupacabras at the restaurant…Uriel saved us from the monster’s attack by kicking away from us…”
Alejandro opens his eyes wider; “YOU MEAN YOU WERE THERE!”
“We were invited by Nathaniel Gonzalez…on that night…we saw Uriel turn into El Charro Negro…it was amazing how he saved our lives…we also saw you helping people escape…”
“I didn’t do much that night…Uriel on the other hand…he was a real hero…”
Both of them laugh. Dr. Ortiz changes his expression; “Has he woken up yet?”
Alejandro looks at the lake with a sad expression; “No…he has been asleep for two days…he did fight two Gods and survived but still…”
“Don’t worry son…he will wake up soon…I’m sure of it…now then, I think there is someone waiting to speak with you…” Dr. Ortiz looks to his right, Alejandro also turns and sees Marjorie waving at him; “ALEJANDRO!”
***************************************************************************
Marjroie and Alejandro walk towards the Hotel…
“So, how are you feeling?” Alejandro asks Marjorie with a shaky voice. Marjorie smiles; “I’m feeling great…my mana has been restored to its 100%.”
“That’s good to hear…”
Marjorie changes her expression; “Has Uriel woken up yet?”
“No…he’s still unconscious…”
“I see…” Marjorie looks down, Alejandro tries to cheer her up; “But don’t worry, I’m sure he will wake up soon…I mean two days is enough for him…let’s go check on him and you’ll see his awake…”
“Right…let’s go…”
As they go to the elevator, Alejandro chuckles, Marjorie looks confused; “Why are you laughing?”
“Well, I can’t believe that two days ago…we saw Quetzalcoatl and not only that…I was inside a volcano…nobody would believe me…”
“You right…tell me, has there any update on what happened that night…when you were surrounded by the members of the Church?”
Alejandro remembers what happened two nights ago…

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?

The Othryrian Archives
"Humanity is on the cusp of their Great Expansion. It will be the first time in history that they’ve reached beyond their own solar system in an attempt to colonize the galaxy. Or, at least, so they thought. Peeling back the veil of time, The Empire of Sol has uncovered vestiges of a secret genetic program on the far flung planet of Hod. The advent of the Empire’s ancient enemy could upset the careful balance of power throughout in the Sol System. When Hod is invaded by the Empire, Andros Aeton is pressed into their service and his people are held hostage. Unbeknownst to him, factions within the Empire vie to use him to their own ends. He must claim his heritage if he has any hope of escaping the clutches of the forces that seek to use him." This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated.

World Labyrinth
Meet our hero: an average young man with an average life, who ended up dying while working an average job. However, he's a given a chance to see another world at the final crossroads of his old life. The catch... well... he knows there's one. There always is. But, hey, when you're about to die, you take whatever opportunity's provided to you. This is the young man's story in the new world as he learns he can't afford to be average anymore. AUTHOR'S NOTE: I've decided to put this note up due to some comments and ratings left for this ORIGINAL FICTION complaining its boring. This story starts slow and it takes time for things to pick up. Also the MC doesn't start off as superman or become superman magically in two chapters. He also is AVERAGE... so it takes time to build up his character. Starting chapter 14 or so things pick up, but this isn't a pure hack and slash and skills level up story like most of the FF on this site. Just giving you a warning, so you don't end up disappointed and end up having to post large paragraphs complaining about the story... I also post on average every TWO OR THREE DAYS, so you'll get more to read.

The Qi to Immortality
The Golden Rule of transmigration into a xianxia world is not to get involved in the affairs of important characters. Death follows them, bearing down on the ordinary people they interact with. For months Zhao Mi has managed to abide by this self imposed rule, making a living as an Assistant Admissions Disciple for the Misty Cradle Sect. When a misstep with a young master places him in the sights of a heartless clan intent on saving face, the only viable solution is to invert the Golden Rule. To surround himself with enough important characters that their fortune bleeds into Zhao Mi’s humble life. Walking such a path will require surviving violence, navigating politics, and unraveling conspiracies. The otherworldly knowledge he possesses might give Zhao Mi a chance at emerging unharmed. Whether his modern soul can weather the immorality of life in Jianghu is another matter.
