Everest Duct

'Sinner of the Spades' takes place in an alternate early 20th century, at the turn of industrial advancement. Set in a world where one Empire rules over the majority of the western continent, the world is ravaged by the aftereffects of a great war. It is a world of tragedy, of longing for wealth, of parading high above the clouds, of mechanical automatons, and of grand tales of sorcery not many have had the chance to see themselves. Lumière Croft is a show magician in the middle borough of the city-state of Leiden- rather, an illusionist. A career liar. Responsible for making money to help out at the monastery he lives in, he can only curse the dreadful circumstances around him, and wish desperately that something would change. Although, that change is not always a good thing. Only when the shadows around him begin to creep, and when the sky grows burgeoning eyes, and when blood is spilled, does he find hope of fulfilling his wishes. To have sunlight, the world must be balanced with cruelty. To have power, one must lose their soul, humanity, morality, or sanity. One must ultimately balance the scales of their debt, or fall eternally to suffering, and have the scales corrected by force. This is the story of balance, of hope, and of the tragedy of a liar. —- “We’re all liars who pretend that the world is okay, and as liars we adopt philosophies and ideologies to cope with its cruelty. Because the world has hope, as long as we speak these lies loud enough, they’ll surely become true.” - Lumière Croft. --- Cover illustration done by @i_evuuu/Everest

I’ve done it all, I have achieved my greatest dream yet I feel empty. I cherished all those who deserved it, and silenced the undeserving. I’ve come so far through this treacherous road yet as tears flow down my face, I don’t feel the accomplishment. Was everything I did for nought? “The only thing standing between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself.” I silently muttered to myself as I read and cleaned the books of my abuelo. These books have been in the attic for so long, a treasure from the past yet they are here, slowly degrading. “Are you done cleaning, hijo?” grumbled by my abuela and she added, “Come on now, we have a lot to clean up, the moving company is coming!” I smiled at her and replied, “Yeah I’ll be done in a while, these are treasures, you know?” As I continued what I was doing, I found a book covered by a tela hidden behind a box. I immediately went for it and as I held it in my hands, I felt the dust-covered worn hard-bonded book. I cleaned it with my trapo and read the worn out title, “La Sociedad Secreta de la Justicia.” The secret society of justice, that is such a rich name for a book, I thought. As I opened it, a trail of musty old-book smell filled the air. A thrill of anticipation went through me as I flipped through the first few pages of. Intrigue went through the roof as I discovered that it wasn’t a novel but my Abuelo’s diary. “Quite a strange title for a diary, lolo.” A tear formed on my eyes as I muttered to the heavens while slightly laughing. My abuelo hasn’t died for long but he still never fails to make me smile. A short burst of deep honks brought me back to reality. I really am in trouble now! I whispered to myself and not long after, I heard the shout of my Abuela, “Alejandro, I told you already, pack up and arrange the books on the truck along with other items!” After a few hours of back-breaking, sweat-forming, and snot-forming work; we’ve finally done it! After a few minutes of break time had gone by, I went to the bathroom and cleaned the dirt I picked up today. After that I dressed myself, and together with my family, we went out of the house. My father, for the last time, locked the gate. As I heard the metals clicking, I looked back to see the house for the last time. This house was my home, my childhood, and my memories yet today I am leaving it all behind. Tears formed on my tear ducts as I was reminiscing about the past. “Let’s go now, your Abuela is tired and wants to sleep on a bed as fast as possible.” blurted out by my father. I closed the door slowly as I entered the taxi solemnly, knowing that a new chapter would start anew, and there was no turning back. Author's Note; Hello mijos and mijas! This will be my hobby book as I am still studying at an engineering school. Expect no regular uploads as this season marks the deadliest chapter of my life (I might fail!). But throwing that aside, this novel only has the backbone for now, nothing is really set in stone so you might, can, and would have a part in creating this! This novel is basically the creation of my daydreaming haha, I am really excited to hear your thoughts! Ah yes, do know that I am Filipino and this novel is centered on the southern tip of the Philippines so expect some unfamiliar words, or unfamiliar sentence-structure, just ask me though, I'll be glad to explain!

No sign of treasures here.” At the same time, Wei Can was leisurely enjoying a latte at a coffee shop by the side of a road. He murmured, “Keep trying, everyone. Two more days and I will be invincible.”

Jossette Dixie adalah seorang senior di Everest School. Selama hampir empat tahun sekolah, tidak pernah sekali pun ia mendapat nilai di bawah B. Ia dipandang sebagai seseorang yang ambisius, selalu belajar dan agak pelit untuk membagikan jawaban kepada teman-teman ketika ujian—dan hal ini membuat Jossette, atau yang akrab disapa sebagai Jo, tidak memiliki teman. Tapi Jo tidak begitu mempedulikannya, ia hanya terfokus pada impiannya, yaitu mendapatkan beasiswa untuk kuliah di Harvard University, Amerika Serikat. Hingga suatu hari, nilai Jo dalam literatur Bahasa Inggris terbilang rendah. Hal ini dikarenakan dirinya yang sempat tidak fokus, sehingga sang guru terpaksa memberikan nilai 70. Namun, bukan Jo jika ia menyerah begitu saja. Ia pun membujuk sang Guru untuk memberikan nilai lebih, dan Jo akan melakukan apa saja untuk mendapatkannya. Sang Guru yang memang mengetahui impian Jo, akhirnya memutuskan untuk memberikannya nilai tambahan. Syaratnya, ia harus menulis sebuah cerita yang berada di luar zona nyamannya. Sesuatu yang belum pernah ia alami sebelumnya, yaitu romance. Jo terkejut mendengarnya, namun ia tidak memiliki pilihan lain selain menuruti syarat yang diberikan gurunya; menulis cerita bertema romance, walaupun sama sekali tidak pernah merasakan hal itu sebelumnya. Di hari yang sama, Jo bertemu dengan Harry Carson—cowok tampan dan terkenal di sekolahnya, setidaknya itu yang orang-orang di sekolahnya lihat dan nilai. Jo tidak pernah begitu memperhatikan, yang ia tahu, Harry pernah satu kelompok dengannya ketika mereka masih sebagai junior di sekolah. Hari itu, Jo dikejutkan oleh Harry yang mendadak ingin membantu Jo untuk tugasnya. Terlebih lagi dengan cara Harry yang akan berpura-pura sebagai kekasih Jo, kemudian pergi berkencan dengannya hingga tugas Jo selesai. Pada awalnya, Jo menolak mentah bantuan Harry. Gila, menurutnya. Pikirnya ia bisa sendiri, namun dengan situasinya yang tidak pernah merasakan jatuh cinta sebelumnya, membuat Jo akhirnya terpaksa untuk mengiyakan bantuan Harry. Well, kira-kira, bagaimana jadinya nanti? Apakah bantuan Harry akan berhasil? Atau Jo akan gagal? Atau bahkan membuat Jo merasakan hal yang tidak pernah dirasakan sebelumnya?

Winter is the best assassin in the world but one day she wakes up as Elizabeth, a kidnapped rich girl, after being killed. She vows to find her killers and have revenge on both those who wronged her and Elizabeth. "Winter," I said innocently with a small smile, "or at least that's what some call me." I shrugged and ripped my ankles out of the duct tape that held them to the legs of the chair in an instant. Before they even realized what happened I brought up my knees to my chest and shot them right back out slamming onto his chest and sending the younger one back onto the floor. As the older one approached me I tore the duct tape around my wrists which held my arms along the back of the chair. I brought them around to my chest and just as he got to close for comfort I threw a fist casually like it was muscle memory which hit him straight on the nose sending a spray of blood onto his face. He stumbled backward with the pain while clutching his nose. I stood up and felt nothing different.
