《Land of Astria》9. Cold Morning
Advertisement
“I-It’s my first time..” Maria said while blushing. She then closed her eyes and started to move her head closer towards me while she stuck out her lips.
I could not believe it. I am finally going to lose my first kiss, and it’s gonna be with Maria. I followed her lead by also closing my eyes. My sweat was starting to drip and my heartbeat was pounding really fast. Keeping my eyes closed made it even more exciting. Is it even alright to make out with your childhood friend? My mind is telling me ‘Yes!’, but my body is screaming ‘No!’.
There's no going back now.
Not able to bear it anymore, I slowly opened one of my eyes. It was pretty blurry at first, but Maria was slowly moving towards me to give me the kiss. I opened my eyes a bit more. Whatever I saw, it almost petrified me. The one leaning in for a kiss was not Maria, it was Marvin.
“AHHHHH!!” I screamed. I opened my eyes and sat up on my bed while still screaming. I was sweating so much that my bed got wet by it. Well it was normal since I just had the worst nightmare. The very thought of that nightmare made me shudder in fear. Is this God’s way of playing tricks at me? Great. The alarm that I set to go off at 6am started to ring, but I still sat there dumbfounded.
“What a way to start the day..” I mumbled as I rubbed my forehead. I set my blanket aside and got out of bed. I fixed my bed before going to the shower to wash the sweat off of my body.
A cold shower early in the morning is surely the best way to start the day. My body was cool and refreshed. I got out of shower and changed to my casual home clothes. I thought for awhile what to have for breakfast. Bacon and eggs was too repetitive, I already had them for three breakfasts in a row. Maybe I'll just have scrambled egg since it's easy to cook. Besides, I don't have the drive to cook something great because of that stupid dream. I took out the necessary utensils for cooking and the ingredIents. Cooking scrambled eggs was not really difficult. In fact, it is way easier to cook than sunny side up eggs.

It only took a couple of minutes to prepare the dish. The food was wonderful even for a simple dish. Maybe I do have the qualifications to become a great chef. I'll
think about joining MasterChef.
After having my breakfast, I decided to go and get some fresh morning air. I got out of my flat and walked down the stairs. It seems like Maria is still inside her flat since she usually wakes up an hour after I do.
I got out of the compound and it was really cold. The early morning breeze felt nice, I inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly. Life’s good.
I walked back in the compound only to find Maria out of her flat with a messy bed hair. Our eyes met for awhile, I greeted her with a smile while she just blushed and ran inside her flat. Well, that escalated quickly.
Alright, It's time to go back to Astria.

A Will Eternal
A Will Eternal is the fourth major xianxia novel by the renowned Er Gen. It tells the tale of Bai Xiaochun, an endearing but exasperating young man who is driven primarily by his fear of death and desire to live forever, but who deeply values friendship and family. The story takes place in the same Universe as Er Gen's other novels, but is a separate story and can be read alone. That said, it does have connections to the other novels, especially I Shall Seal the Heavens. Those connections only pertain to a handful of chapters, so you can read the novel as a whole and enjoy it without first reading ISSTH. However, the best reading experience would begin with the later portions of ISSTH. This novel is much more comedic and light-hearted than Er Gen's previous works, although it has its fair share of action and drama. For a more detailed introduction, check out this video by the translator himself!

The Core, The Recordings of Raan - Fantasy LitRPG Story
The blue screens all around blink like crazy with red letters saying how I'm dead. I rage and wave my hands, but punch nothing but air. Then I remember what I was told, breathe in deeply, trying to steady my mind, smooth my anger, letting the blue vertigo take me with it, letting myself go...Hard-time convicts from a space orbital penitentiary are sent to a hostile planet where odds of survival are minimal. To make things even worse, their memories seemed to be wiped clean. But their killers' instincts are not, and they soon kick in.For a space wars old-timer Raan, it's all different. He remembers everything. And that's a problem. As others fight for survival, he remembers how most of them, himself included, should not even deserve to have a second chance.In a strange new world, as he fights his own demons, he is faced with new ones whose names he does not even know. But giving up is not inside his DNA and fight on he must. For to stop is to die, and to die means he failed, failed himself and all those who still desperately need him.***The Author's Note:This is another in the Core series, the first one being The Wardens of Destiny while there is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.The Recordings of Raan occurs after the events in The Wardens of Destiny, and it's a separate thread from the main story. Among other things, I separated it into a new book as it has elements of progressive LitRPG and a fantasy-world setting.Since I'll keep on writing The Wardens of Destiny, this will be one of my side-projects. Eventually in the future, I plan to integrate some of the protagonists in this story with the main storyline.
