《Nekana, One in Billions, Lost.》Chapter 6 - Can't you?

' 'One strawberry flavoured milkshake. Oh, and a single packet of sour cream and onion chips as well please. Thanks' the cafe Nekana was in oozed peacefulness. The fragrant smell of toast and butter drifted in the air and the light scent of coffee was pleasurably filling the air-conditioned room as well.
Soft clatters and chatters broke the brunette's unfocused gaze as to where she was and she recalled thinking of something but failed to remember the topic. After receiving her order that was supposedly the day's breakfast, Nekana could hear the clear chimes of the tiny golden bell that was hung upon the top corner of the door after their exit.
Nekana could feel the gentle breeze in her face as she prepared to go on out her way. Coincidently, she recognised a familiar face as she looked left and right, as it was a habit. There, she found a guy. Older than her by a few years he laid lazily on the short wooden bench against the cafe door. His hand slumped lazily at the side and he hand one hand stop his chest. His eyes were closed and beads of sweat could be seen running down his forehead.
Nekana then gave his name a soft call as she bent down to reach closer his ears, they twitched a bit and he sooner woke. His eyelids opened and he gave a brief grin. He had short black hair that was accompanied by plain facial features. Nekana gave her strawberry milkshake a quick sip and thought; sweet... Just my type of thing. Nekana often had a craving for sweet stuff.
"What're you doing here?" She asks. "Right back at you," he says.
"Why're you here then? and answer me right." The brunette persisted.
Smiles came easily to the guy and as he did; he replied "I can't?".
The girl looked at him, making direct eye-contact and said :"No, you can."
And while you're at it, I'll even accompany you too. So the mischievously smiling brunette thought. The guy read her eyes and he too grinned in reply. The two of them, accompanied by each other's presence drifted peacefully in their own thoughts.'
And Nekana awoke. Greeted by the sun she detested most specifically in the morning after she gets up.

God complex
A hero is summoned to another world, vanquishes evil, yadda yadda, saves the kingdom and lives happily ever after. There is no such hero in this story. Just a desperate youth with great ambition and very little to lose. A zero to hero style story set in a country clearly inspired by modern USA with just as many issues and the minority of mages often pulling strings from the shadows. I am also hoping the whole thing won't turn out edgy enough to cut me. I want to rely on actual good writing rather than cheap powertrip gimmicks. edit: Please don't mind Zetari's salty review. He is quite literally making up any use of the torture and human experimentation trope and says MC is blank after 4 chapters where he conveniently stops reading just at the start of his first character development. For extra entertainment, I will be uploading chapters two at a time and compose a relevant poem through the chapter names. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Legends of The Wesh: Lochley
The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects. In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes. Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn. Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides. Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished. The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it. Azrael was born as a prince in the warring world of Ost. Inheriting the title but not its privileges and oppressed by his siblings in every step of his life, he had no choice but to be subservient to their whims until circumstances spiraled him to the abyss, to a new world, and to more agreeable companions. But is he truly free from the past or will it continue to hound him to his new life? Elira had one wish… to be known more than as an offspring of the Great Phasol Family. Talented, hardworking, and stubborn, she struggled to break free from the influence of her family. Everything had been going well in her life but is she strong enough to resist the upheaval and truths of the world? William grew up in an orphanage with nothing to his name. Regaled by various tales of fantasy and greatness by his caretakers, he reached adulthood with the goal of having a legend of his own. Will he make his mark on the world or be forgotten like an ant; crushed by the boot of an unsuspecting traveler. The world of Lochley has been at peace for centuries and its undercurrents are growing restless from waiting… waiting for that spark of opportunity to ignite and swallow the world whole. Some will cause it, some will resist it, and some be drowned by it. Which one will you be?
