《Amusement Park》Season III: Chapter III - Money
Advertisement
I can't believe him! It's just that he said he's in love with me and I can't really respond to that. He's really sweet and all, and we have gone out many times for food, watched a movie together, went to a theme park, but he's a bit eccentric and gets cold when I ask him to buy me something. Isn't that crazy? It's like all he thinks about is money. I ask him to buy me a drink, he gets cold. I ask him to buy me that new Burberry bag for my birthday, he gets cold. I ask him to pay for the gas, he gets cold. I just don't understand. I can never find good men. And I'm almost 30! It's like all the good men are taken or something. I talked about this to my other guy friends if they can understand him but it seems like they don't understand him either! I guess some men are just like that. I do wish I could meet somebody nice. Gary said he liked me but I don't know. He's okay I guess but I should find someone better. If Huey asked me out I would absolutely accept in a heartbeat. Oh, Huey. You make me skip a heartbeat. But I think he has a girlfriend. I hope somebody like Huey will appear in my life soon.
I've been spending some time with this girl I really like. She's funny, she's charming, she's smart! I think it's going really great! I feel like we have a future together! But there is something that's bothering me. She keeps asking me to buy her things and stuff, like food and drinks and something a little expensive for her birthday. Like, I mean that's fine if we really were together in a relationship but we're not. I didn't think too much in the beginning, to be honest. I thought it was the same as donating to my favorite Twitch streamers. She asks me if she could have a drink from the convenience store, sure. She asks me if I would pay for the meal, didn't see a problem. She tells me to split the gas bill but I end up paying for all of it, uh... She must be into me if she wants me to do stuff like that for her, right? I think so. Sure, I do pause and look at her funny because she's sending mixed signals but girls are just like that. I try to get closer to her and she leans away. I flirt with her and she looks at me blankly. Playing hard to get, I see. They like playing that game and I know it. Why else would she keep wanting to go out with me? I mean, if she's not into me and she's asking me for all this then that's a little messed up.

Oh, great. She rejected me! What the fuck am I going to do now? I literally used my rent money to buy her that new Burberry bag AND the buffet at the theme park restaurant. This is ridiculous! I thought it was going great! Are you fucking kidding me!? She was into Huey this whole time, wasn't she??? Doesn't she know I only spend money on girls I really like!?!?!? She was one of them!!! I was in love with her!!! Fuck this. I'll have to ask my parents for money again. This fucking sucks. What a goddamn bitch.

The Infinity Islands
I was just supposed to be a normal guy! I was about to graduate from my normal university with my normal English degree, about to begin my first foray out into the real world. But somehow, I had ended up worlds away instead. Far, far away from home, in a world that should have been just like mine, running and fighting for my life in a war I didn't understand. None of us knew why or how we were there or what we were ultimately supposed to accomplish. But that didn't really matter, did it? In my new world, there was only one rule: survive! --- Hey all, I'm Ken, and this is my first time sharing a story online. This story is heavily inspired by Terror Infinity, if it wasn't obvious from the title. I've been interested in making a Terror Infinity story for a while now, but I have a lot of problems with its system and mechanics, so I decided to just make my own system instead of trying to adapt to that one. If you find any mistakes, typos, or awkward phrasing please let me know in the comments so I can fix it! I hope everyone can enjoy this story but, even if you don't, please let me know why and what you think I can do to improve. Thank you. (The original picture for the cover can be found here)

8 191A Lonely Spiral
Rye wakes up with a toad in her mouth. From the first day the world is out to make her life miserable as she struggles through living without a sun, through graves and grave threats in the form of man or monster, or even just her innermost doubts and insecurities. Join her as she explores a dark, dark world and slowly, but surely finds her place in it. Or will she? What if the world has no place for a small, weak and uncertain person like her? How will she adapt, if at all, to ever worsening circumstances? (Features a slow-burning progression, many setbacks and a thousand ways to suffer in the age of darkness with a slice of humor to finish it off. Expect the dark-souls of adventure stories. Early chapters are a bit of a mess, but it gets better. If you want to skip forward, I can recommend chapters 19, 26, or 34 as starting points.) Heyo, YJarex here, the Y is silent. This is my first story so please be kind, but don't hesitate to point out flaws or ask questions if things are unclear. I fully intend to continue writing this until it is done some time in the far future. Cover art is a commission by the wonderful hou_jae04. Check them out on Instagram here. Schedule is Tuesday and Thursday with a chance of bonus chapters on Saturday. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Done!
