《Fire and Stars》Chapter Seven
Advertisement
Penelope walked and kept seeing Reagan. No, a normal life, Penelope thought. Penelope thought that maybe she should answer it after all, then she could have a normal life. Penelope walked a bit more. She eventually went to the dorm. James was gone and Amber was sleeping. James was gone but, Penelope saw Amber's clothes on the ground. Penelope quickly changed her clothes and went to sleep.
That morning Penelope texted Isabella. She texted her that she was going to her dorm. Penelope changed to a sweater and boots. Penelope walked over to Isabella's dorm. She knocked on the door. Isabella took a while to open the door, but that wasn't a surprise it was seven am and no one should be visitor ready at that time. Isabella finally opened the door. Penelope and Isabella greeted each other. "So, what is the situation again?" Isabella asked.
"My sister's gone and she's haunting." Penelope said. "Okay, and what do we have to do?" Isabella asked. "You just believe me?" Penelope questioned. "Yeah, I'm agnostic and I believe you so, why not?" Isabella asked. "Kay, we need to go to the Wildflower Camp. It's a camp near here." Penelope answered. "Okay, let's pack everything we need for this trip." Isabella said. "Okay we'll need food and water." Penelope said. "Ok, let's make lunch, dinner, and some snacks." Isabella spoke.
Isabella and Penelope went to the dorm cafeteria. Isabella had the keys since she volunteered every day. Honestly, if Penelope had known she would have been able to get the cafeteria keys if she volunteered every day, she would have sign up to volunteer every day. Isabella unlocked the door and they entered. Isabella made the ham sandwiches, which would be wrapped in foil, while Penelope got some fruit, in plastic bags, and granola bars. They put it at all in a bag. Then they went ahead and made some dinner which they decided was going to be turkey wraps wrapped in foil. They finished and packed. Isabella called an Uber and we entered the Uber. The driver drove for thirty minutes. They got there and left the car. Isabella paid the driver.

The walked into the camp. The camp seemed like a ghost town. Everything was vacant. "We need to make a fire." Penelope said. "Okay, maybe, I should have asked some more but, why?" Isabella asked. "I saw her in fire and stars." Penelope answered. "Okay, I definitely should have asked more." Isabella remarked. "Follow me," Penelope said. Penelope walked into the forest. She walked for a few minutes and Isabella followed. Penelope saw two small branches and started trying to make a fire. Penelope tried and tried. She started to get angrier and angrier. Isabella saw this and remarked, "Um, maybe we should comeback in the night-" Isabella was interrupted from leaves rustling in a tree.
A woman came out from the tree. The woman yelled, "You don't have to. I'll help you." "Who are you?" Isabella asked her. "I am Juniper, a master of Hearth Magic." she said in a rather rough voice. "A master of what?" Penelope asked. "A master of Hearth Magic. It is the only magic on Earth. Hearth Magic is the magic that harnesses the hearth or heat of Earth." Juniper explained. "Heat? Is that why my sister talks to me in fire?" Penelope questioned.
"Yes," Juniper answered, "I will start your fire and I'll explain Hearth Magic to you."

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

The Reborn Runesmith
We have all read stories about the reincarnated or portaled earthling going to the fantasy world and gaining a cheat and super abilities. This isn't one of those. The hero or villian here is just a smart guy who only gets to choose a few things like what he is and then given the ability to have mana. He doesn't even get to choose what kind of mana he gets it could be fire,water,air, etc. This world is different than ours. Gunpowder, medicines, and other things will probably not work or be availible. Who is to say that the beings of this new world will even have the same internal anatomy. These are all things our MC will have to discover. Just like our world you can be born with great genetics but if you are a lazy and undriven person nothing will come of it. This is my first attempt to write. There WILL be mistakes. I am a mathmatician not an english major so be prepared for questionable grammer and spellings. One of these days if I enjoy doing this I will get me an editor who did english instead of math and science.

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
