《Coder Girl /Dreamwastaken/》՞՞9՞՞
Advertisement
I had the best sleep in my life, not even exaggerating things. I didn't even wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, which is honestly rare, considering my weird habit of drinking coffee at night. I didn't have nightmares, couldn't remember anything from my dream if there even was one. I didn't even get waken up by my phone, even though I didn't mute it before bed.
And waking up, my phone was the first thing that got my attention.
Great, the battery's dead.
I rubbed my eyes and squinted to check the clock on the wall. I had to blink rapidly and check it again tho, cause for some reason it showed 2:40, and judging by the sun outside, in the afternoon.
Shit.
I almost fell from my bed, remembering that I had plans with Dream on 4:30, and I hadn't even showered yet. Putting my phone to charge I ran to the bathroom and ran the water, quickly throwing my clothes in the basket and stepping under the stream of lukewarm water and cursing myself for not letting it warm up completely.
Doing some quick maths in the shower I realized that I slept for 16 hours. That's a new personal record and I'm not proud of it. This is what happens when you go a week with almost no sleep.
I managed to finish my shower in 20 minutes and get dried and dressed in another 20 minutes. My phone had been charging during this whole time. Turning it on, I turned the sound off to avoid the endless dinging of the message notifications and missed calls.

I facepalmed reading the messages and decided to call my mom before calling him back. I could only imagine how worried she was.
And I was right, as she kept talking and talking, lecturing me for 10 minutes on how irresponsible I was for forgetting to charge my phone and sleeping for 16 hours. I put her on speaker and did my hair until she felt like I've heard enough and said her goodbye.
I grabbed my phone once again to call Dream back finally. But the new message notification from him caught my eye first.
why tf are you leaving me on read lmao
I called him back immediately.
"Oh so now you talk to me." He chuckled right after answering the call.
"I was sleeping," I sighed, annoyed that I had to explain myself, "what's up."
"Were you sleep-reading my dm's and sleep-ignoring them?" He sounded kind of frustrated even though he was laughing.
"My mom called, what do you want?" I was trying to make him get to the point.
"I'm coming to pick you up so be ready. I'll call you when I'm there."
His demanding tone was getting on my nerves but I guess that's how he is. I put my phone back to charge some more before I'd leave the house and did the final touches on my face.
I decided to go makeup free, just curling my lashes and putting on some colorless mascara. I didn't go overboard with my outfit either, went for a simple hoodie look.
Not like I was in the need to amaze the faceless man anyway.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.

Royal Jester
Rated Mature for strong language and sexual themes ~~~Ana shrieked and frantically shielded her eyes as a very male, very naked man entered the room. "Holy fuck," she heard the man say, or rather shout, before the sound of something crashing to the floor met her ears. She spread her fingers slightly, peeking through to assess the damage. "Don't look!" She clamped her eyes closed."Who are you?" Ana resisted the urge to peek once more as she heard him move around."Better yet who the hell are you," he bit back sharply and she resisted the urge to flinch at the unnecessarily harsh tone."Do you live here?" "No," he deadpanned. Her eyebrows furrowed in slight confusion. "I'm just in a random ass college dorm walking around naked. What do you fucking think, Sherlock?" He sneered and she bit the side of her cheek to hold back the oncoming eyeroll. Leave it to the second college student Ana comes across to be a total jerk."Well then I do believe that makes me your roommate."~~~All Princess Anastasia wanted was to get through college quietly, receive her degree and enjoy the simplicity of life in the process. But, after her first day ends on bad terms with one of her new roommates, it starts a series of prank wars that completely destroys every hope she ever had of living like a normal person.Except for the fact that maybe her new roommate isn't actually so bad after all. And maybe - just maybe - he's actually kind of wonderful. ~~~
