The Numbers That Brought Our Fates Together Chapter 152: Little Prince.
Elena and David left the stage and began to greet the guests. Ten minutes later, they stopped in a small secluded place in the far corner of the hall, where everything was already prepared for the interview, and where journalists were waiting for them.
The couple sat down on the comfortable chairs and took off their masks. David took his wife by the hand and looked in the direction of the reporter, "We are ready to begin." The girl with the microphone in her hand was lost in the world of violent fantasies as soon as her eyes met the eyes of the attractive and distinguished owner of the Lenali Enterprise.
"Meg, you are drooling. Stop staring and let's work," the operator hissed into her ear microphone, noticing that the girl fell into a reverent trance as soon as David smiled at her. The man brought the camera closer to the couple, first doing a close-up of Mr. Anderson, and then turning the lens in the direction of his wife, Elena. The young lady noticed that she was in the frame, slightly tilted her head and smiled. At this point, the operator's heart sank, he took a step to the side, and almost fell, stumbling over a wire on the floor.
"Sir, are you all right?" Elena asked immediately, which caused even more embarrassment to an adult man. "Yes, ma'am, do not worry, everything's all right. Sorry for disturbing you," the operator quickly apologized, set the camera straight and straightened up with an important and serious look on his face.
A small mix up returned the Miss Journalist from the world of dreams, she ran a hand through her hair to calm down a bit and turned to the couple, "Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. My name is Megan Green, and I thank you for agreeing to devote some time on such a solemn event."

"We also thank you and all the viewers for their attention to our modest event," David replied, and his radiant smile made speechless thousands of female spectators sitting on the other side of the screen.
"Khem, well, let's get down to the interview then," the journalist looked down and stared at the list of questions prepared in advance. For ten years of practice, she had never felt so embarrassed and confused.
"Everyone is well aware of the active charity work of Lenali Enterprise, your projects are known all over the world and cause a great positive response from people in different countries. Tell me, how do you manage to carry out such a tremendous amount of work and look so good? According to population polls, it seems to people that every year you look younger and younger, as if time is flowing in the opposite direction for you. Do you have any secret?"
"Yes, I personally have a very big secret," David winked slyly and continued half a tone quieter, as if he decided to share the most important secret in the world, "This secret is called Photoshop." The journalist blinked a couple of times trying to get the joke, and David continued meanwhile, "But as for my beloved wife, here I agree, every year she is becoming more and more beautiful."
"Ahaha, Mr. Anderson, nice joke about the Photoshop," Megan laughed. Whatever the man said, at the age of 32, he was as beautiful as Adonis. She saw his photographs five years ago, and now he looked even more attractive than then. Like an expensive and high-quality wine, which over the years only gets better. Not surprisingly, he and his older brother were on the list of the TOP-20 most desired bachelors. Although everyone was well aware of David's unshakable love for his wife Elena, such desires remained only in fantasy.

"Mrs. Anderson, many people are interested in how your son is doing. There are very few photos of Sean online and he practically does not participate in social events with you. Does he not like to be in the center of attention or is it your decision to protect him from publicity?" The journalist addressed Elena.
"Hmm, rather, this is Sean's desire, he is only five years old, so I do not think that it is worth forcing him to do anything if he does not want to. When he wants, he goes with us, when not, he stays with friends or with his grandfather."
"Yes, we once interviewed Mr. Lee, he admitted that he loves his grandson so much and often pampers him. By the way, is your son here today?"
"Yes, he must be somewhere in the hall. As far as I know, he and other children decided to arrange a hide and seek game. So if you come across a boy who will try to steal a piece of cake or candy from the table unnoticed, then it's likely to be Sean," Elena added with a smile.
The rest of the interview was held in a casual conversation, Elena and David thanked the journalists and went back to the guests. Megan and the operator saw the hosts of the holiday off with their eyes and stood still for a couple of minutes, looking after them.
"I think now I understand why he loves her so much. I did not think that Elena Lee would be so cool. Hell, I don't even want to envy," Meg muttered to herself.
"You wanted to say, Elena Anderson? But I agree, this couple made me nervous in a good way. But you can still try your luck with his elder brother, he must still be single, right? How about hitting on Daniel?" The colleague winked and pushed her in the side with his elbow.
"Naah, I'd rather observe from the side. That whom I will envy is the future darling of the little prince. Ehhh, and why I was not born now or five years ago, then I would have had a chance," the journalist sighed. The operator looked at the girl and defiantly twisted his face, "Eeew, pervert. He is only five years old."
"Fool, you don't understand anything. Even if he is only five years old, it is already clear that he will be a handsome man, such a cutie that the world has never seen. Have you ever seen his photos? Ahhh, if my future son will be at least twenty percent cute as he is, then I didn't live my life in vain."
"Ahahaha, yeah, right, only Sean Anderson, unlike you, has the whole world in his power, given the influence of his parents' companies. Ehh, okay, let's go, I got hungry, and the local buffet is obviously not of my level." The man waved his hand and he and his colleague headed for the exit, passing by the chic tables with snacks.
Meanwhile, a little boy, about five years old, at whose mercy the whole world could be, quietly and imperceptibly made his way to his goal – a table with cakes and sweets. Why would one need the whole world when there is such an Eldorado of sweets?

Rebirth
Rebirth, the process of being reborn. Why does it happen and who really qualifies. We will seek to look into the these questions by following the life of Richard as we experiences this process first hand. We will follow his life and his fight against the evil blue boxes and what comes with all of them. ------------------------------- Update 04-24-18 Just ran a spelling and grammar check on the existing chapters and corrected a lot of little issues. ------------------------------- Just so you know, do not expect detailed sex scenes, or a lot of gore and such. Profanity is probably a given, I added the tag today....I mean you've seen how the Blue Box God talks....I'm shocked our MC has keep his cool so far. Also just FYI, I've got the entire per chapter outline complete for what will end up being book 1. That being said I've discovered over the years that a good outline lasts until you begin to wrote the chapter out. What that means is that even with a good outline because I tend to rethink thing out 4 or 5 times while I write them that it can hold up a chapter from being released. I'd rather hold up a story to make it flow better than rush something out. So while you might see at times a very aggressive release rate, at times you might wonder what happened to me because I've stopped posting. The reason being that after I wrote the chapter I decided it either sucked, didn't flow right or I just decided the direction things were headed no longer seemed right. So I'll stop, review and decide if I need to rewite all of the outlines to changes things up and then rewrite the chapter, or possibly go back and make changes to older chapters if needed. By the way, if I ever decide something needs to change, I will let you know which chapters changed and I'll give you a quick outline of the changes so you can skip the reread if you want. Yes a lot of this story will be told from the third person prespective, though we will listen to Richard tell his story. Expect a lof of behind the scene components. I've never published here before so expect it to take me a try or 2 to get an understanding of the formatting and such. Also I do not post a schedule. Sorry but real life always comes first but I will try and get things steddy.

Systematic Supremacy
A story of an individual with a cursed past and an unknown future. Follow the journey of Theo trying to find his purpose in a world full of cultivation, magic, and other mystical arts. What happens when someone without a will to live finally gains freedom along with an absurd amount of potential? Will he pursue strength in a world that values nothing but power, or will he decide to live a quiet and normal life for the first time? This is a story of a man with a system (yes, I know, very original), cursed with the faith of a protagonist. Whether he will follow the road of humiliating swarms of ignorant young masters asking for a beating, or carelessly pick up love interests from all corners of the world is yet to be seen.This story features many different realms and power systems, so if you enjoy novels with massive worlds and endless exploration, this is for you. Although it has a system, it is more of a manifestation of his own power and mysterious origin, not some gift from God.This is my first novel, and I am not a native English speaker, so the grammar won’t be perfect, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.

One Piece: The Elder Twin
(Previously known as Being Luffy isn't Lucky) An utterly random person comes to their senses to find out that they're being dangled by their legs, not to mention that they feel some slight vertigo. Upon realisation, they discover that they've become... ahem, I mean they share a body with the one known as Monkey D. Luffy and they also have no idea who they are themselves! The one thing they do know? They used to be an absolute loner. (EDIT: So... a few months later and I come back to this and read like a few chapters. Only to realize the absolute rubbish the story and everything has become. There was many needlessly developed things that just waste chapters and don't even develop anything. The fiction's Mary Sue was horrendously developed. I'm just repeating myself to try and convey how terrible it developed... like seriously. IF I were to update the fiction again I would be thinking of improved concepts and ways to present everything which would contradict the entire way I previously presented everything.)
