I'm still at the Crescents' house. It was funny in the morning, having to take turns in the bathroom. I went last, that was funny too because I was insisting I go last while they were all insisting that I went first (well, C2 wasn't, she's kind of practical and had her turn while her parents and I were insisting at each other). Eventually Mrs Crescent resolved things by saying "If Charlotte's going last then she can have a nice long bath, I'll get one ready for her", so that's what happened, I had a really long bath with all these nice bath salts and things, and candles all lit around me. I've never had a bath like that before, I was amazed at how calm it made me feel, and afterwards I noticed my hands weren't really shaking any more.
That's when I told Mrs Crescent about what happened. All of it, everything that Ray did. She listened very sympathetically, and when I told her about the bad part her mouth went all thin and her eyes went all hard, and she patted my arm and she said "Let's hope I never see the boy walking down the street, because big tough rugby player or not I'd punch him to the ground." I think she really would, too. She's lovely and laughy and kind of 'round', but I feel like Mrs Crescent is NOT someone you want to get on the wrong side of.
I felt better for telling her, anyway, and she gave me a big hug and told me not to worry, that I did well to take care of myself and that probably all I should regret was not giving him a proper slap. Which I DO kind of regret, actually. He definitely deserved it!

One thing I've noticed, being here. My head is clearer. I can think properly. I've spent some time reading back over my recent entries, and it's pretty obvious there's something wrong. I keep mentioning how I should start investigating, but I never actually do anything. Being at the school is bad, that's clear. It's obviously the centre of whatever weird stuff is happening. I don't want to impose on the Crescents because CLEARLY they've already done SO much for me, but it's not just because I don't want to be alone that I'm reluctant to go back to the school.
Except...
Except I have to go back. Because I DO need to investigate. Because I DO need to stop all of this. At the very least I have to find out what's going on, and maybe who's behind all of this. Even if I can't do anything to stop it myself, I could maybe find someone who can. There aren't any buses out of town but there IS a road, and eventually that road has to lead SOMEWHERE.
I feel bad about sneaking away, but now that I've realised all of this I can't wait any longer. I'm going to leave a note for the Crescents thanking them for everything, and then I'm heading to the school. This time I'm not going as a student, though. I'm going as a spy. There are too many secrets at Emerald Hills Academy. And I'm going to unearth all of them.

I Summoned You
Julia wanted revenge, but she didn't imagine she'd get a demon to help her with it. Three girls worked together to cast a ritual, and summoned a demon to grant their wishes. Whether its peace of mind, the confidence to not be bullied, or revenge, the demon is willing to please. What matters afterward is the price that has to be paid. Not only by the summoners, but by the ones who have wronged them. --- Cover photo by Mallory Johndrow on Unsplash.com --- [participant in the NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge]

Celestial Teahouse System [Slice Of Life LitRPG]
“I guess this is the end of my lifespan? How pathetic.” An infamous Immortal Emperor from Black Heaven Realm was at the end of his lifespan as he shut his old and wrinkled eyelids, awaiting his impending death with a hint of regret. However, when he was on his last breath– the serenity was disrupted by a simple-looking pebble that started glowing intensely out of nowhere as it entered his dantian and he lost consciousness. After what seemed like forever, he finally woke up and to his amazement– he discovered that his body had recovered to the state of his once youthful self with his cultivation only regressing by a little, while ending up in a foreign world filled with modern technology– Earth. He realized that a mysterious robotic voice had suddenly established its presence in his mind unknowingly, issuing him missions and rewards that would help and guide him in a certain direction. Enjoying his new life with a carefree attitude in a new world, running a teahouse with the help of the Celestial Teahouse System– Li Qu will slowly unravel the mysteries behind the pebble and the reason for his transmigration. Was he the only one to do so? Or was there a deeper meaning behind all of this? Will be releasing chapters daily until it gets knocked off the Rising Star list. From then on, it'll be Monday - Friday. Important Note: It's written in a style of a 'Chinese-translated-to-English' type of story. I get the confusion in the earlier chapters, however– NO harem. It's mostly a turn-off-your-brain chill type of story. Author's Note: As this is the first story that I've ever written, there will be occasional errors and as such, please forgive me in advance.

The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
