《Room Mates (NaLu)》Chapter 4 ~ New Friends
Advertisement
"Nice to meet you roomie" He said with a huge smile on his face. My heart fluttered.
"Y-You too" I replied. He held his hand out for a shake and I grabbed it. His hand was really warm and strong. Whats going on with me? My eyes slowly travelled down his body. He wore a large black and white raglan shirt, black skinny jeans and a pair of trainers.
"Like what you see?" He said with a smirk. My cheeks suddenly flared red as I realised I probably looked a little too longer than I should have.
"U-Uhm sorry I-I uhm" I looked down and checked the time in my phone to feel less awkward. 13:18. Baka!
"Crap I'm late!" I randomly exclaimed quickly. "Sorry I-I've got to go"
I bolted towards the door and opened it.
"See ya later Luigi!" he shouted down the hallway.
I completely forgot that Levy invited me to lunch with her and a few of her friends. Dammit.
I ran towards the elevator and waited a few seconds. After what felt like an hour, the doors finally slid open and I stepped in. I repetitively pressed the ground floor button as if it was going to make the ride any quicker. Damn why is this elevator slow.
Eventually the doors opened and I quickly walked towards the dining room, trying not to look like a creep. My eyes scanned the area until they fell upon a familiar small, blue friend.
"Lu-chan!" Levy exclaimed when she spotted me.
"Hey! Sorry I'm a little late.. I got a little caught up with my roommate" I replied feeling a little embarrassed.
We walked towards a long table at the back of the room. There sat quite a few people i didn't know. I only recognised Mira.

"Everyone, this is Lucy!" Said Levy when we made it to the table. She sat down and gestured for me to sit between her and a red headed girl.
"Nice to meet you Lucy, I'm Erza" the red head said. She was extremely pretty, wearing a red blazer and black skirt that stopped a little above her knees. I smiled in return, not questioning why she as wearing a uniform when she didn't have to.
"You too" I replied happily.
"I'm Gray" A guy with raven hair said to me cooly. "So how are you finding the place?" He was good looking and quite muscular.
"Good so far, I don't actually start lessons until tomorrow' I replied, smiling while he nodded.
"Whats your subject Lucy?" Asked Mira, looking happy as usual.
"Well I really like English, so I'm studying that. I'd love to be an author." I laughed.
"Thats why me and you are gonna get along so well!" Levy said nudging my arm with her elbow. I smiled.
After getting acquainted with everyone, I went to line up and get some food with Erza.
"Who's the lucky room mate then?" Asked Erza making me laugh.
"Someone called Natsu, he kept hitting on me which was a little awkward" I said with a snort.
"Natsu Dragneel!? Wow, have fun living with that" She laughed making me a little scared. Oh god what did she mean.

Now I knew everyone at the table; Mira, Levy, Erza, Gray, Jellal and Gajeel. It was great to make so many friends on my first day. I must have been really lucky.
"The food is actually pretty good here." I said as I took a huge bite out of my cheeseburger.
"Yeh, you should try the ice cream, it's really nice" said Gray whilst eating a cone.

"To be honest, I think the best thing they do is definitely the chilli." Said a voice coming from behind me. A chill ran down my spine. Everyone on the table turned their heads to look at the source of the voice.
"Oh hey fire-breath!" Shouted Gray from opposite me.
I turned myself around to also see the source. Natsu and I suddenly made eye contact.
"YOU!" We both said in unison.
"What are you doing here!" I said, glaring at him.
"Well, These are my friends" he replied simply.
"Hey Natsu" said Gajeel who sat next to Levy. "Why are you so late? Lunch is gonna be over in about 10 minutes..."
"I was just un-packing my stuff. I moved dorm rooms remember." Natsu replied.
A loud bell stopped the conversation to indicate the end of lunch hour.
"Well, speaking of un-packing I best get back to my room and start." I said to all my friends, waving them goodbye.
"See you tonight Luigi!" Said Natsu making my roll my eyes in annoyance.
"IT'S LUCY!" I shouted back angrily. Why do I even bother?

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.

Immortal Shards
In the boundless multiverse, all possibilities, no matter how remote, exist somewhere. Universes are born, or are created, and die, or do not. In the vast Myriad Heavens Cosmos, a reality far away from our own, a mysterious energy called Mana provides the basis for both physical techniques and magical techniques, and interweaves and is part of all matter, all spirits, and all energy. Mana is the lifeblood of the world, and those who channel and cultivate its power are called cultivators, for they strive to grow along the myriad paths of power and enlightenment. There are many such paths, known as Dao, but they all feature Shards! When a being, man, beast, or otherwise, gains a large enough Mana sea in their body, a crystal core, known as a shard,containing the essence of their power, the ideals and emotions that motivate them, and the essence of their soul will form. A beast which cultivates to the level of forming a shard is called a Magical Beast. A human or other being that does is known as a Mystic. A shard may be a Mage Shard, allowing one to use mana to attack with the elements and produce fantastical, reality bending spells. A shard may also be a Warrior shard, channeling elemental and mana power into one’s physical form, shaped into projectiles, or various other uses; or it can be a Immortal Shard, with the abilities of a Warrior and Mage shard both, and others besides. Anyone who forms an Immortal Shard has the potential to shock the vast planes of reality! In the eternal struggle between the living, who will gain advantage, and for how long? Who will live and who will die? Who will protect and guide the commoners, and fight rogue Mystics and Beasts? Into this world, a child with a potential beyond his wildest imaginations is born. But on the journey of cultivation, there are no guarantees! Will he reach his fated glory, or will he die an ignoble death? This is the story of Alexander Grandstar, and even the gods may not know where it goes! Current release schedule is 1 chapter a week, on whatever day I decide to place it (usually Saturday or Sunday)
