"You're kind of right dear… That was probably, the first and last time I am ever going to go see someone get exiled…" Laura said as she stroked Sylvie's head who was sitting on her lap.
"Mm, me too. Since we're out in the city can we explore? You never bring me out of the house anyway." Sylvie asked Laura while making a face that no one could refuse.
"Yes yes, might as well. On one condition though." Laura said as she turned Sylvie to face towards her.
"What is it mother?" Sylvie asked Laura confused of why there was a condition.
"Your mother will carry you throughout the entire exploration." Laura said while giving her a smile.
"B-but I can walk on my own!" Sylvie immediately said as she wanted to explore by walking too.
"No can do. If you don't let me carry you I will immediately get someone to drive us home." Laura said with a stern face.
"Y-yes mother…" Sylvie said with a dejected face as Laura picked up the small Sylvie into her arms and exited the room.
Just as Laura was inserting her Rental Card once more into the same slot she inserted before to unrent the room a young girl's voice who sounded like she was in puberty suddenly rang in Sylvie's and Laura's ear.
"What kind of exile was that! Why did I even come here! I lost so much gold from that! Ughh! I even got the money from begging my brother for the past few months for allowance!" She shouted inside a room that was at the end of the floor.
'We kind of feel you…' Sylvie and Laura both sighed as they felt her pain.
"Well then, leaving that aside. Let's get out of this 'clearly' cheap hotel and explore the city hmm? Maybe I will introduce you to some tailors and some shop owners." Laura said as she carried Sylvie down the stairs. Just as she put her foot on the first step the door of which the young girl's voice was resounding from opened with a slam.

Laura froze and turned around to look at the young girl who was red from yelling. When Sylvie turned around to see the girl she nearly cried from the fear the young girl gave her.
'Why does she look like she wants to kill me… What did I ever do to her?!" Sylvie thought to herself as she snuggled her face into Laura's chest so she wouldn't see the young girl anymore.
"You! Get back up here! I still haven't repaid you for what you did when you took the room I wanted!" She said the moment she saw Laura again.
"Err, no thanks. My daughter want's to go explore the city so I am afraid I don't have time for you. See ya!" Laura said as she waved at the young girl before heading downstairs.
At the scene of seeing the women aka Laura treating her as she was non existent the young girl got even more angrier as she threw punches at the wall.
"Young miss! Please stop that! That is inappropiate, nor do you have money to pay for the remuneration if you break the wall!" The maid beside her warned the young girl.
"Tch." She said before she stopped and walked towards the stairs to go out as well.
The guards who were still upstairs sighed at eachother.
"Why do we have to take care of this little girl? She is so obnoxious like holy crap." A young guard complained as he walked down the stairs.
"Stop complaining. I have been guarding her for the past 2 months. Can you even compare?! You've only been guarding her for a solid 2 days so far!" An older guard rebuked the young guard.
"Just as he said. As long as we get paid it's okay. It's not like anyone would pick a fight with a noble anyway." The other guard said as he went downstairs with the rest.

The two other guards who were silent the entire time followed the rest downstairs while maintaining a cold expression. These two were the family knight's of the baron family. There were only a few, but they are stronger than normal family guards of a baron family.

"I see you're done renting a room miss." The male receptionist said as he took the rental card from Laura.
"Hello little miss. How are you doing?" He said to Sylvie who was in her mothers arms.
Sylvie who was still not used to talking to strangers as she was a neet back in her old life replied by nodding her head.
"Shy eh?" The receptionist said while giving a small laugh.
"Please don't tease her too much. This is her first time in the city." Laura said to the receptionist.
"Alright, have fun then! Thank you for renting a room here." He said to the two as they headed to the exit.
Just as Laura and Sylvie were about to exit the building the young girl's voice once more rang out behind them.
"YOU WAIT! HOW DARE YOU TREAT ME AS IF IM NOTHING!" She shouted at Laura.
"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM YOU DAMN COMMONER!? I AM THE DAUGHTER OF BELGRATH DARKMORE! A BARON!" She yelled at Laura. Her yelling gained all the attention from everyone that was eating or drinking at the first floor.
"I AM YINARA DARKMORE! HURRY UP AND PROSTRATE YOURSELF BEFORE ME YOU SLVT!" She yelled at Laura with arrogance no one could top.
"Young miss! Don't do that! You're ruining the house hold's name!" The maid besides her scolded her.
"So what! If this arrogant slvt won't prostrate herself before the family name she is basically calling us trash! If so father will help me kill her as well! And look at that cute girl in her arms! I want her! She can be my little sister instead once shes killed!" The young girl told the maid bad.
'eh? You want me as your little sister? Not happening…' Sylvie thought as her eyebrows twitched.
Laura however didn't care and just left the hotel.
"WAIT YOU!!!" The young girl screamed once more to no avail as Laura had already left.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)

Dragon Travels
Dragons. Mythical creatures that inspire awe and wonder in cultures all across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing to befriend such majestic beasts and go on an adventure with them? To be a dragon rider and live through a tale of epic proportions? Ryder, who's so obsessed with the idea that he nicknamed himself as such, certainly thinks so. Sadly, he lived in a world where such creatures only exist in fiction, and one where none of his peers or family shared the same passionate interest in dragons like him. Every night, he would fantasize what it would be like to live in a world where they do exist, and one day, his fantasy became reality. Upon landing in a new world, he found himself in the company of cheery and naïve plant dragon who was just as excited as him to be the companion of a dragon rider. After that, they encountered a worldly earth dragon, who followed them under the guise of guiding them while hiding her own dark secrets. Lastly, regarded by many as The Terror of The East, a dragon so powerful and terrifying that it's known as a demigod, lowered his pride in order to escape his thousand-year prison and joined Ryder's merry band. It isn't all fun and games as the Goddess who brought the teenager here has sent him on a mission - to rid the evil forces that had risen in the world and threaten the balance of the realm. Together with his three dragon companions, Ryder traveled across different lands as he found himself involved in the matters of both tragic and entertainingly eccentric individuals. So, if you like How to Train Your Dragon or just dragons in general, isekai adventure stories, and/or a found family-esque story with witty banters and interesting characters, then this is what you're looking for! Note: This is an anthology series, therefore the arcs are not presented in a linear fashion. There will be recurring characters and arcs that continues story threads from previous "chapters", but, for the most part, each arc standalone as a complete story, so you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series before, it's basically like that.I'm still relatively new in writing, so I would appreciate it if you'll be kind enough to provide feedback!
