BOOM
I covered my ears. it was currently 11:30 pm and everyone was asleep. except me. "this is annoying" I thought as thunder struck again. I sat up and looked around. it was dark and everyone was sleeping soundly. as for me I was wide awake and kinda annoyed. I stood up while my blanket was around me and quietly walked out of the room. I was at the entrance and noticed something. the library light was on. "is he still awake?" I muttered.
BOOM
I flinched and walked up the stairs. "guess we'll see" I thought. I looked inside and saw him reading calmly, a blanket draped across his lap. "oh okay maybe I shouldn't bother him" I thought backing away. Immediately I slipped on the blanket and fell forward. I fell through the door facedown. "ow" I muttered. I sat up still not opening my eyes. "So...care to tell me why you're awake Naegi?" I heard Togami say. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Togami above me his arms crossed and looking slightly annoyed. "no reason" I muttered. "storm?" he asked. I nodded. he sighed and I stood up the blanket still around me. "can I stay here?" I asked. "fine" he said walking back to the chair. I sat in one and looked at Togami. he was reading a book pretty much ignoring my entire existence.
BOOM
I jumped and buried myself under the blanket. I heard Togami scoff and the flipping of pages. "you look stupid under that blanket" he said. "oh wow thanks" I said sarcastically. "mhm whatever" he said. I poked my head out and looked at him. he was just reading and not even looking up. "go read a book" he said waving his hand toward a pile of books on the table. I picked up one, "maybe not that one" he said. "why not?" I asked. "its a horror one with graphic descriptions" he said still not looking up from his book. I put it down and picked up another one, "that's a fantasy one with greek mythology" he said. "oh i like fantasy!" I said smiling and opening it. "you seem like it" he muttered. "do you like fantasy?" I asked. he shrugged, "if its well written then yes" He said. "what do you consider well written?" I questioned. "good characters and a good plot" he said simply. "well doesn't everyone like that?" I commented. "everyone has different ideas of good plot and good characters" he said.

"I guess so" I shrugged as I read the book. BOOM. I flinched and almost dropped the book. "why are you scared of thunder?" he asked looking up. "their loud" I muttered. "if that's your logic then I wonder how you survived" he said. I sighed and continued reading.
"this peasant keeps jumping at even the slightest sounds" I thought annoyed. I was raining pretty bad and according to the weather app it's going to keep raining for 2 more days. i informed naegi of it, "great..." he muttered. "yeah your not going to survive this storm" I scoffed. "wha- why not?" he said. "your practically jumping at the slightest sound" I said flipping a page of my book. "their loud" he muttered. "you said that earlier, is there another reason?" I asked. he hesitated, "no" he said finally. "that was a total lie" I thought. but I nodded and let it go.
"so why aren't you going to sleep?" Naegi asked. "I could ask the same to you" I said. "well- I asked first" he rebuttled. I sighed, "I was just reading before going to bed" I said pushing up my glasses. "now you answer"
"I couldn't sleep" He mumbled. "is it because of the storm or another reason?" I asked. "no..no other reason" Naegi said. I narrowed my eyes, "obviously there was some hesitation...but i cant prove anything right now" I thought. "fine" I said continuing to read. thunder rang again and he flinched once more. I rolled my eyes and looked outside. "looks like its raining pretty hard" I said. "Yeah I noticed" He said. "its going to stay like this for 2 days" I rolled my eyes. "wha- 2 days?!" he cried. "yes 2 days" I said. I looked at his panicky face and smirked. "w-whats with that face?" he stammered. "nothing" I said reading.

BOOM
I dont know what sound I heard but it was a high pitched squeal. like the sound a pig would make being stepped on. and that was naegi. "seriously?" I said stifling a snicker. "sorry" he muttered. "that was an...interesting scream" I said. "it wasnt a scream" He muttered. "okay then a squeal" I said rolling my eyes. "it was loud!" he said. "its just thunder' I sighed. "yeah but its kinda...nevermind" He said hesitating. I rolled my eyes, "fine whatever" I said. I got a ding from my phone and checked it
"why did you tell them? now their going to make fun of me" he said. "i know" I said. he sighed and he looked annoyed
"don't sue my friends!" he cried. I scoffed, "their being annoying" I said. "their your friends though!" he said. "they are not my friends" I glared. he shrank back into his seat and he put the book in his face. "whatever" he mumbled
BOOM
"god damn it" I muttered as i fumbled with the book. "you really are scared of thunderstorms" Togami scoffed. "maybe" I said reading. I was halfway and it was around 11:45 pm. "you should sleep" he said. "no i'm fine" I said. he rolled his eyes, "you look tired" he said. "how?" I asked. "well 1. you have some eyebags" he pointed out. "i should of put foundation on those eyebags or something" I thought. "2. your yawning a lot" he said. "i-i have?" I asked. he nodded looking annoyed that i hadn't noticed before. "3. theres some evidence you havent been sleeping well also" he said finally. "huh? what do you mean?" I asked. he scoffed, "you texted a few times at 3:00 am" he sighed. "how did you notice?" I asked curiously. "it shows in the groupchat" he said. I nodded, "therefore you should sleep" He said. "well why do you care?" I asked. "you usually don't care about anyone"
he rolled his eyes, "i only want you to stop bothering me" he said. "so me sleeping in the library will achieve that?" I asked. "at least you'll stop talking" Togami said. "I don't talk that much" I said. he looked at me up and down and rolled his eyes. "just sleep" he said. "no i'm not tired" I said. "clearly there's a reason why you wont sleep" Togami added. "there's no reason" I lied. he narrowed his eyes at me. "obviously he's suspicious" I thought to myself. "mhm and am I supposed to believe that?" he questioned. "...maybe" I mumbled. he scoffed, "then tell the truth" he insisted. "I just don't sleep well okay" I muttered.
"and why is that?"

Journey West 5000
With her parents murdered and her brother abducted, a trainee Monk of the Gun pursues the one responsible, the Bull Demon King, undefeated Warlord of the Crimson Army.Struggling to track down her enemy while braving the dangers of the wilds, she enlists the help of Sun Wukong, but 500 years under a mountain have taken its toll. Unstable and weakened, will he be more hindrance than help? Can he become the warrior he once was?A Monk and a Monkey journey across a world...... where the remnants of technology are seen as magic, while pockets of humanity strive to drag themselves out of ignorance.... where the descendants of animal-human hybrids, once created as instruments of war, now seek to dominate the world as demons.... where beings who call themselves Immortals and Gods preoccupy themselves with selfish pastimes, ignoring everything else. Among other things, a story about growth, grit, and being better than the person you were yesterday. Here's my rambling on why I'm writing Journey West 5000. Journey West 5000 is my crazy ambitious writing project to adapt a classic epic called "Journey to the West" for a global, modern audience. It's a sci-fi story disguised as fantasy, and has some road trip + monster of the week elements (as does the original Journey to the West). No system, definitely no harem, gradual power progression. Hmm, what else can I put here so potential readers know what to expect? My writing style for now is mostly "show don't tell", because I believe that readers don't need to have everything pointed out to them, and that they should be allowed to make up their own minds about characters based on the actions of those characters. I'm also trying to be less long-winded (a weakness pointed out by some friends) in order to write according to something Neil Gaiman said, which is to write as though I'm the one who has to pay for every word, not the reader. This will bring down my chapter word counts, and might drive away potential readers, but I believe there's value in learning to compress and be concise. All chapters posted here will have been edited. Constructive criticism, comments, and feedback would be very much welcome and appreciated. Please, please help point out any typos or grammatical mistakes, I'm striving to minimize those as much as possible. Above all, I hope you enjoy my story.

8 124Al-Mos... Qui-t-o Live A Second Life
I was once a bad person who died after misfortune and found myself in another world, with a seemingly.. unusual body. I don't have arms and just legs, I don't have ears but I can hear using those two long antennas and most importantly, I can fly. It seems that I don't have a body of a human... So.. what's the point of continuing living with such a disgusting and terrible form? No... Wait.. it seems I have an ability, shapeshifting! That's means I can still go back into human forms, don't I? But everything has consequences, so it was also true with this ability. I should be able to defeat the form I want to mimic first before I can use them. So, will I be able to continue to live in this another world, or will I just die as well? Note: You can also view this story in another site; Webnovel.com and ScribbleHub.com If you want to read my book in advance.. you can do it by being a member in https://www.patreon.com/zhowen_xialin.

8 98Reborn as a Dungeon Boss
If anyone were to take my actions, my feats, my influence on the world, and write them down as a story, there would be one point that needs to be raised before all else. This is not a song of redemption. This is not a tale of hope. This is not a parable of goodness. No. Mine is a warning of destruction. Slaughter. Death. For death brought me into this world...and death I shall bring to it. This will be my second attempt at writing a novel. For the fans of my first work, I'm sorry for disappearing for so long...life happened. I will continue that one at some point, but for now I want to try to get back into the groove of writing. Thank you for giving me a chance.
