“Ringgg!”
“Heyyo Rosetta, you hear that? It’s finally the end of school! It’s been a long day, hasn’t it?”
“Yeah, it’s been a long day...”
“Woah, are you okay? Why do you sound so despondent? I thought all’s good after that heart-to-heart talk we had earlier.”
“Yeah, it’s just...it’s still difficult for me to not compare myself with....her.”
“You know what? Don’t think too much! Let’s go get some Shake Shack today! My treat. Great burgers will make you feel better! As for Syndesi, we have plenty of time for you two to know each other.”
“Shake Shack? Isn’t it quite expensive?”
“Hey, don’t worry about it! It’s not like I didn’t know you are thrifty. And I know that you are saving money for your family. So just take my hand and follow my lead.”
“Okay. Thank you Abigail. But you can be less blunt about it.”
“Come on, you already know that I’m a straightforward person from the beginning. This is who I am! And I ain’t gonna change HAHA.”
“I really can’t win you when it comes to words, can I?”
“I mean, you can win with your fists.”
Rosetta plays along by raising her fist in the air, ready to strike. Her eyes sharpened to the edges as she gives off a menacing stare. Like a predator who found its lost prey, she grinned widely. It was as though she was saying: “Try me if you dare.”
Whoever saw this would immediately call the police! I mean, teacher! After all, Rosetta was much taller than Abigail. A skyscraper and a cottage house. It must have been the effect of puberty drawn to the extremes.
But Abigail knew this was another one of Rosetta’s ploys. So she couldn’t care less.

“WOAH WOAH, SEE! RIGHT AFTER I SAID IT! You really need to learn to control your temperament, Rosetta.”
If there was one person who could tame Rosetta, it was Abigail.
Abigail’s frank and blatant honesty was Rosetta’s pillar of support. Her tiny presence pulled Rosetta through tough times. Abigail was her Achilles’ Heel. There was nothing she could do but play along with Abigail. It had become second nature.
“Ain’t gonna change cuz this is who I am!”
“HEY! If you are trying to imitate me, put in some effort at least. I don’t sound like a crude old man! PFFT! Anyways, let’s go get those burgers!! We need to go now to avoid the crowd.”
"Yeah, let’s go.”
It was a mentally draining day for Rosetta but it just got better. Because of her one and only best friend, Abigail.
But things weren’t looking as optimistic for Ruth and Syndesi.

Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

The Sea Tower
Sea witches were monsters of legends, capable of routing armadas and wreaking havoc across entire realms by controlling the weather. It was rumored that even the mighty krakens were under the control of the sea witches. Who, what, or where these witches were, no one knew. But no one sought them out either. The avarice of a mad king leads to the folly of a kingdom. Only a single turret survived the catastrophe, a single tower which protrudes outwardly from a boundless ocean, rumored to house the very creature which wreaked havoc and devastation. Sailors are warned to give the relic a wide berth, for few who have seen the tower ever return to speak the tale, and none who have approached it ever have. Do not approach the tower, they said…
