"How did it go?" Sam asked, seeing the excitement in their eyes.
"It wasn't bad. I kept the human bloodline." Jim said and continued moving closer to the group, "But I received a rare archer job, Marksman."
"You made us wait quite a while, what did you get?" Dona took a step closer looking into Sam's eyes.
"Why don't we discuss it later? It's free today. Let's head to my house." Sam tried to shift the topic but the girls were persistent. His attempt might have backfired. "Sure, let's go. You will spill it when we get there." Dona said walking ahead dragging Justin with her.
"Should we pick a party name? We will have to register soon. Right?" Jim asked, walking beside Maya.
"Will Astra be there?" Dona asked, "Her cooking skill is even better than our family cooks. And that guy went to a culinary school."
"She should be. Her classes are done by noon." After a few minutes of walking, they reached the front door to see Astra waiting inside for Sam to enter.
"I'll go prepare lunch." Astra walked off towards the kitchen grabbing an empty plate from the table on the way. 'Looks like she had lunch.' "Wait, we need you, Astra."
Everyone settled down on the couch while Astra came back from the kitchen. She had a towel in her hands wiping her hands dry.
"So, the job. Spill it." Dona reminded the rest. "It's not too much. I went with a legendary job, Satu Mage." Sam explained. "Why were you acting weird then?" Dona asked, suddenly losing interest.
"Mine is an uncommon healer job, Battle healer. There should be plenty of people out there similar so I will be fine." Maya joined in. "With Dona and Justin, we have two warriors now. I hope the trainers won't split us up." There was a little worry in her voice.

"Which is why we should register our party before they split us up," Sam said taking out his tab. "Well, I'm ordering the personal module. It should be available to pick up by curfew." He started filling out a form. "Anyone else want one?" Sam lifted his head looking at Astra to which she shook her head. "I received one for My Lady last week."
"Give it to me once you are done. I want to register for one too." Maya said shifting to Sam's side of the couch.
"We should request for a party house then. We won't have to live in the dorms then." Astra said excitedly.
"I don't mind. Can we stay outside the campus? I thought Justin had to stay on campus." Jim asked Sam looking at Justin who was sitting quietly in the corner.
"Justin, do you want to come to stay with us?" Dona went over and hugged her tight on the couch.
"Can I?" She asked, her voice ever so light.
"No, but I can ask the office for an exception. You are a knight now. Be a little bit more confident." Sam said with his eyes glued to the screen.
"So, the name?" Justin asked who still had no clue what the group called itself.
"It was Elite Five," Maya said, yawning and turned towards Astra. "Let's go. I want to eat something. My blood pressure is falling." She got up from the couch and walked to the kitchen, grabbing Astra. "Change it into something else. I hate that name."
Maya's older sister joined a guild called Elite Troopers. She became vengeful towards the word elite over the years.
"What do you want it to be then?" Sam asked, putting the tablet on the tea table. "Anything but that, also register a module for me. My password is ************." She disappeared behind the kitchen door as Sam took the tablet back up.

"What about 'Sword Masters'?" Dona who was playing with Justin's hair got up walking towards Sam's training sword. "Can you still lift it? After your initialization?" Dona asked. "Haven't tried yet. I feel a lot weaker than before but the energy has shot up." Sam, keeping the tablet back on the table, took the sword from Dona. "Nope, it feels too heavy." He said dropping the tip on the floor, chipping the floor tile.
"Can I keep it then?" The sword that Sam carried was a master-crafted artefact specifically made for training. "I was planning to give it to Justin," Sam said, looking towards Justin sitting on the couch fixing her hair. "Never mind then."
"Not a bad name, but what about the rest of us?" Objected Sam immediately. "What about 'Midnight Party'?" Asked Maya who walked in with a few plates setting them on the dining table.
"Sounds good. I know, what about 'Twilight Clan'?" Jim interrupted.
'Midnight party, twilight party, clan…' Sam kept brainstorming for a better combination when Astra walked in with a tray of food.
"What about 'Little Blue Hills'?" Said Astra placing the food on the table. "Seconded," said Maya raising her left hand in the air.
"It's fine with me." Sam wasn't interested in a party name. The name was only as good as the party's strength. Besides, Astra had a great sense of naming. Blue Hills was their hometown where most of them grew up apart from Justin.
"What about you Justin? Blue Hills is our home. Is it ok with you?" Sam asked Justin to which she nodded. Her focus was all on the sword that Dona gave her a moment ago. There was a logo etched on the hilt belonging to House Valerie. "You can use it now. I have no use for it." Sam told her as he approached Astra waiting for him near the table.
"Thank you," Justin said holding on to the sword for the treasure it was.

For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!
8 165Wolves of the Apocalypse
Too many people fantasized about a zombie apocalypse for the world to be taken by surprise. The world didn’t end, society didn’t collapse, our moral values didn’t break down as years with undeath looming over us turned into generations; just us hiding in our cities from a dead world desperately clawing its way in. God, if only it were that simple.

The deepest darkest prison on the planet is not where anyone would choose to start their day, particularly when they have a job to do.
