This is the story of a teenage girl, Cassie Smith, who, after her death, was recruited into Universal Mercenary Company. Something akin to a ‘Rent A Hero Service’, this mercenary company is one which offers its services to deities, devils, and essentially anyone who can afford their service fee.... more>>

To put it simply, they commit the acts which the gods or devils can’t do themselves. Stopping apocalypses, getting rid of universal troublemakers, killing extremely overpowered, non-affiliated of course, demi-gods, etc. Sometimes, they are even tasked with ensuring that a planet doesn't fall apart; naturally, to them though, it is just another job. If the paycheck is big enough, anything is possible.

This story is about how Cassie goes about coming to terms with her new job, serving as a supernatural mercenary for the first time to be exact. With only a few select objectives assigned to her, she was launched into this fantasy like world with 10 years of training, an assistant A.I., a high potential in Shadow Magic, and an itchy trigger finger.

This is the story of this mercenary’s first time in another world. <<less

My first story here so let's do it! hopefully with flying colors. (This story is not about an insect that goes on an edgelord, death rampage, so those who came for that, know now what you are reading and stop rating down thx, still, some murder and mayhem is involved)

Feel free to critique, I will be checking on reviews and comments every now and then to see what others think of my writing and how I might adjust it in the future. (although I'm also doing this for fun so don't get your knickers in a twist if things don't change to your liking).

(Know that even if you comment/review that doesn't mean I will respond or that I will take your advice, after all, I too have my own preferences).

Ps. A friend of mine drew the cover art, appreciate its homebrew goodness.

PPS. serious readers may want to read the author's notes as well.

PPPs. If you rate down please say why, I want info, not merely ratings that don't tell me anything, preferably in comments, so I can try to best satisfy my audience, or at the very least understand their reasons. <<less

--------- Note from Kinkar ---------
My first try at writing. It is probably a little wordy and I am not a native English speaker (and dyslectic to boot), so I am sure there will be mistakes along the way. But in the end it is about the story. Please feel free to post comments on if and why you like the story and what could be improved. <<less

In the near future, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and the definition of human are being stretched to their very limits. Humanity has spread out amongst the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets of the solar system, fashioning together new societies and new opportunities, but the stars beyond are still outside of our reach.... more>>

Old and new geopolitical blocs are seeking to dominate the new order beyond Earth and Luna. One such bloc, codenamed the Alliance, recruits Yang Ru to destabilize Mars, in hopes of securing a political and economic foothold on that planet. Yang Ru’s work stokes the flames of civil war on Mars. Two factions emerge, Colonel Valesquez’s 508th Vanguard and Zeyk Duval’s Concerned Citizenry, claiming ownership over the direction of Mars’ uncertain future.

As Mars burns, the violence begins rippling outward. The Alliance and the Alliance’s adversaries begin posturing and readying for bloody and protracted shadow wars throughout the Verse.

To make matters worse, an emerging (and sentient) artificial intelligence, named Osmanthus, is on the rise, infecting computer systems and infrastructure, making her presence known and felt. The warring factions see Osmanthus as a potential ally and weapon in their war for dominance, and they attempt to recruit her for their respective causes. Others, such as the mega church known as the Brethren and Sistren of the Abrahamic Faiths, hope to convert, destroy, or help Osma, as she grows and blossoms into something either uniquely human or something else altogether.

A Protracted Game, a space opera/sci-fi Web serial, is an account of the next steps in humanity’s evolution, as witnessed by Osmanthus, those who built her, those who wish to control her, those who wish to escape her ominous presence, and those caught in the crossfire. <<less

Due to the massive inflation of crime, poverty, and other things that would've ultimately led into Gizgarde's downfall, a plan was needed to reduce it to a considerable size. ... more>>

But what if there was a method that would not only lessen the problems but eliminate them all at once? 

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, an international biotechnology organization called Endless Mist Corporation offered just that.

The plan to put an end to Gizgarde's predicaments by building a district able to occupy all of Gizgarde's wrongdoers and people who couldn't afford a living. This district would be called Krieglen.

100 years into the future and the corporation's plan was a success. Gizgarde became a utopia to its inhabitants, but there was still one problem. Krieglen wasn't the same as the rest of the country, criminal activities were widespread during the day and even more at night in the district. Of course the corporation came up with another plan. Genetically modified law enforcers along with a toxic mist that would appear each night would surely do the job, right? 

But of course, this was just a facade. Although the toxic mist did its job, there were activities within the mist that weren't known to the public. Were the enforcers even enforcing laws from the beginning? <<less
