《A Girl's, Unusual Existence》*Chapter 8.2 – Night Exchange
Advertisement
Lord Min Hee sits with Lord Ono Arun, while Lady Ono Drishti sits with Hee’s wives. Lord Ono Hyeon having been escorted to the quests area, the adults are now freely able to converse.
Lord Min Hee serves his friend Lord Arun a cup of Sake. Lord Arun happily takes a sip and lets out a satisfied sound. Lord Min Hee only sips at his cup before placing it back onto the table.
Lord Arun playfully asks, “Well, Hee, what is wrong?” With a closed set of eyes, his playful tone sounded as if he was both amazed and knowing of the problem concerning his friend's heart.
Lord Min Hee narrows his eyes in contemplation. However, before long, he stiffly says, “I fail to understand what are you talking about?”
Lord Arun snorts as he folds his arms over his chest and raises a disbelieving eyebrow. “Really, you have no idea?” Lord Arun casually asked.
Lord Min Hee fails to answer, only causing Lord Arun to sigh loudly in exasperation. “Fine, allow me to be direct…., your youngest daughter…. If I did not know you better, I would dare say that you are displeased at her return,” Lord Arun softly said.
Lord Min Hee glances at his friend before carefully replying, “No, I am quite happy she has returned.”
Lord Arun snorts under his breath with disbelief as he serves himself another cup. “Fine, then, I won’t interfere in the matter too much, but I suggest that you don’t allow for things to slip out of your reach until it is too late to fix them,” Lord Arun warningly said.
Lord Min Hee doesn’t reply and merely serves his friend another cup of Sake.
*
Lord Min Hee guides Lord Arun and Lady Ono Drishti for a walk into the gardens leaving the wives alone. As soon as they leave, Ayako rises her feet and twists her red lips into a semblance of a warm smile. “Good night, sisters,” Ayako mockingly said, before gliding out of the room.

Ehuang sighs tiredly as she rubs her aching head. Nuo gently reaches over and pats Ehuang on the back. Ehuang turns and smiles tiredly at Nuo.
Though tired, she still retains her dignity and grace as she rises to her feet. Nuo follows suit as they too follow in Ayako’s wake. Ehuang and Nuo pause to admire the scenery as they return to their own quarters.
Nuo breaks the silence first and says, “Ehuang, what of the little one?”
Ehuang sighs as if tired of the subject and wearily says, “Ayako does not care either way, but Hee will not change his mind, Nuo.”
Nuo opens her mouth to protest, but Ehuang quickly silences her by saying, “Nuo, enough.”
Nuo presses her lips together, not speaking out of turn. Zhuang sighs and softly says, “Nuo, I am sorry, but that child-, is out of our hands.” In awkward silence, the pair of women continues to walk together until their paths separate the two and they each go their own way.

The Dungeon Calls for a Sage
Archimedes was the ego behind one of the most powerful dungeons ever created. He grew and developed his halls, filling them with powerful monsters and beasts, over the course of thousands of years. He was a grand structure of ten thousand floors which even heroes had failed to defeat. However, an Evil God had come from another world, calling himself the Demon King, and a party of heroes were sent to do battle with it. Through their victory, they obtained enough strength to breeze through Archimedes' dungeon like it was nothing. Forseeing the end of his life, and realizing how pointless his pursuit of power had been, Archimedes destroyed himself, taking the heroes down with him. Still, Archimedes felt despair that he had lived a worthless life as something as pitiful and futile as a dungeon. Sensing his regret and potential, the voice of the world presented Archimedes with the chance to start anew and live a more meaningful life. Thrilled and hopeful for the first time in eons, Archimedes accepted the offer, only to be reborn again as a dungeon core with not a single room or monster to his name. Just what was the meaning of this?! Archimedes couldn't figure out what the voice of the world was thinking. Somehow, he would have to draw a sage into his dungeon to figure it out for him. _______________________ DCS is now a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying end.

Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel (An Irreverent Fanfiction)
Fates Parallel is a gripping cultivation story, following the adventures of a half-spirit girl with nothing as she grows both as a cultivator and as a person after arriving at the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial and Arcane Arts. It features fleshed-out, believable characters, wonderful world-building that informs the course of the plot, and girls who hold hands. Fates Parallel is a very good story, and you should read it! Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at this same world from a different angle, following a totally regular girl who brings bad luck with her wherever she goes. It features shallow, joke-name characters, a focus on the least interesting parts of a fantastic world, and girls who hold hands (potentially). Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel is an amazingly hilarious (so says me) fanfiction and you should read it! (This is a Totally Author Approved Spin-Off (Fanfiction) for Fates Parallel, which you can find in a number of places including here on RoyalRoad! Please do read it!)

Dip$h!+s in Space
An eccentric comedy novel (that thinks it's a TV show) about space, and the Dipsh!+s that end up stranded in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions, centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top ice-cream truck, in space. Explore the universe with his trusty crew of valiant randos. Marley, the tech-bro, stoner spacebunny, who just wants to get away from his home world and the bullies it harbors. Duffy, the plump and sassy female mechanic, who has had every job in existence totaling far more years than possible. Roy, the frigging fabulous, flamboyant android, and former spy…or possibly current spy. (dun dun, daaaa!) And lastly, but certainly leastly, that other chick the captain keeps trying to bang. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill, to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. This satirical joke on itself and every sci-fi trope ever to exist, will be sure to either thrill you or disappoint you, because COMEDY…IS…SUBJECTIVE! With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot. Greg: the 8 foot tall, ancient, thermonuclear, semi-retired alien overlord who just wants to prove he still has a purpose…and also to rule the galaxy. Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios. Tag along as the crew battles, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)
