《Unknown》Chapter 5
Advertisement
I was walking down an empty corridor, thinking about how done I am with this sibling feud when I run into James.
"Watch it Rose," he sneers.
"Whatever James," I mutter, walking around him. He grabs my elbow and pulls me back. I turn to see his worried hazel eyes looking at me.
"What's wrong?" he asks.
"Huh?" I ask, ever so literate.
"What's wrong, Sophia. You never call me by my name," James says.
"Nothing. Not that you care anyway," I sneer before jerking out of his grasp and walking away.
**Third POV**
"I need to talk to you," James says, approaching Lily and her friends.
"Go away, Potter," Lily says.
"Lily," he insists, catching the red heads attention, "I need to talk to you. Preferably in private." James glances at Marlene, Alice, and Mary.
Lily could see that something was bothering him. "Yeah. Yeah okay. I'll be right back."
The two walk out of hearing range.
"Something's wrong with Sophia. Like, really wrong. She called me by my first name," James tells his long time crush.
"Why does that mean something's wrong?" Liy asks.
"I know she told you what happened. I'm not stupid. And she hasn't called me by my first name in years," James says before sinking into a crouch and placing his head in his hands.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Lily asks, sitting across from him. James sighs and leans back against the wall.
"Not the way she said it. I'm scared," James admits, surprising Lily. "I miss her."
"Then why won't you talk to her?" Lily asks, scooting a little closer.
James picks up a small rock from the floor and twists it around in his hand. "Because I don't know what to say. Because I know she wants nothing to do with me. Because I'm a coward!" James seets, sending the rock flying toward the wall opposite him with a powerful flick of his wrist. Lily sighs and stands up.

"You never know until you try James. That's all I can think of for you," Lily rests her hand on his shoulder before walking away. James nods to himself and walks off.
For the next few days, Lily works on cheering Sophia up and keeping her focus off the situation with her brother. This proved harder than anticipated due to the fact that Mcgonagall paired the twins together for a project. So they sit together everyday in Transfiguration.
James was sitting in the library with a first year he was tutoring in Transfiguration and Sirius was nodding off beside him. Then, Lily bursts iot the room causing a loud boom as the doors slam into the wall. James stands.
"Sophia," Lily pants and Sirius and James take off running, following Lily up to the Astronomy tower.
Sophia stands there, on the edge of the wall, staring down at the ground.
"Sophia!" Sirius shouts. Sophia turns and gives him a confused look.
"Why are you up here?" she asks.
"Sophia, climb down. Carefully," James instructs, glancing at the edge. Sophia's expression turns sour and she turns back to the edge.
"Sophie don't!" Lily yells. They all lunge forward to late. Sophia jumps off the side and James' hand grazes her robe.
AN: Heh. Have fun with this y'all. Love you guys!

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

Night Terror
Story is currently 'on hold' for an indefinite period of time - I will eventually post the whole thing when it's complete, see the news post for more details. After dying young, a man reincarnates into a new world as Abe Haruki. 'This whole world is suspicious...' Despite the fact that Haruki had never once met a god, even during his reincarnation, he couldn't help feeling that this world was just too... Intelligently designed? I mean, seriously... Levels? Classes? Stats? Items? You can even level up your abilities! 'Definitely suspicious...' Unfortunately, the Church have been keeping close tabs on him from the shadows. They've heard rumours of a boy, born with a golden ring. With magical affinities that defy logic. Darkness and light energies destroy each other, violently, so how does he have the affinity for both? Can Haruki live his peaceful life along side childhood friend Suzu? Or will they fall to the coming darkness? ::Author's note:: While there are stats and exp etc, it's not LitRPG. They are there, but not the focus in any way. The world is more hardcore - A human is soft, so a pierced lung should eventually kill them. Even though they have a small pool of HP, a single deadly blow can end it all.
