《Room Mates (NaLu)》Chapter 4 ~ New Friends

"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 Psysword Chronicles (HIATUS)
"Definitely above average. You've woven in enough goodness in the first 5 chaps to warrant a deeper dive." -RaccoonMage "A well written Isekai." -TaxReligion "When I saw it was an isekai I expected the same old tropes. And, while the main character was indeed transported to fight the main villain, that is as far as the main tropes go[...] I was pleasantly surprised." -doravg "[T]his novel has lot of good things going on for it[...] I can see this becoming one of top tier novels on this site." -Crow3r A fantastical world called the Ecumene. A sinister invasion by forces of the Underworld. A war that threatens to rend the Three Realms asunder. 18-year-old Kendrick is from another universe entirely, summoned to be the hero the Ecumene needs... but he's kind of a clumsy goof. Two companions—a fiery, battle-ready witch named Bellara and a soft-spoken, friendly healer named Sahni—welcome him to the Ecumene for one purpose: he may be the only one that can save it. Why? Precisely because he's an outsider to their world. And how? With an ancient weapon that seems tailor-made for him alone: the Psysword. Book 1 complete.

Tempest Rogue
This story follows Auron, a man who has been plagued with vivid nightmares his entire life. While running away from a beating, a splitting headache causes him to fall to his knees. Once again his nightmares bleed into reality. The next "episode" he has brings him from the scene of his nightmare, to a posionous swamp. To make matters worse his memories from earth are fading, and these nightmares that plagued his childhood, filled with darkness and a red coocoon, are back and worse than ever. As he clings to the only memories he has left, he is forced to fight through a world of brutal blood thirsty monsters, dungeons, and a complex magic system governed by an ancient agreement. First time writing any sort of story. Everything is still a work in progress. As I improve on my writing I will go back and edit parts. Early chapters are subject to change as I grow my ability. I am going to try my best to write this world and improve as I go. My goal is to make my dream come to life through the medium of text. This is why I wanted to post it here. Feel free to comment, and bring constructive criticism. Hope you enjoy! More info (Spoiler warning): only read if you are picky, read a lot, and want to waste no time with a story you may not want read. This book is a litrpg. This means it contains stat tables, and other game elements. (Which you may gloss over if you would like) It is written in a fantasy world, in the style of a progression fantasy. The main character grows in power as the story plays out. My characters are written to my best ability, but you may find them immature. The MC has to adjust to fighting, and killing which he struggles with for a while. His partner is a magical salamander who is a friend and mentor. The world building, monsters, and descriptions are also low tier. (I am working hard to change that!) If you are okay reading something by someone who is just getting started then welcome! I am doing my best, and incrementally improving as I go.
