《Smiling Chaos》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Byun BaeKhyun and Jang EuiSoo
Most of the students were already seated at the assembly.The male and female students were randomly seated.For medium sized university like SeJun, there are a lot of students. Different faculties were all clustered in one area.It was an open space that was shaded so there is not much to complain about.Some of faculty administrators were seated at the platform. They were grouped to one section so the SRC and LLC would be seating in the other.By the looks of things neither the student president and vice president and some LLC nor the principal and his vice have not yet arrived.
While dressed in faculty coat, Xiaojun walked lazily to the assembly.He kept kicking stones and throwing pebbles.He was playing lazily and spotted Jang EuiSoo ahead of him.He had his hands in his pockets.Jang is majoring in Sports so at the present moment he was wearing a white track suit and had folded the sport jacket at the arms so that his forearms are exposed.He ran towards him and hugged him from behind by placing his arm on Jang s shoulder .The way Jang is fit,he didn't even flinch when Xiaojun threw his body onto Jang
"Hyun, long time..You still look the same" ,expressed Xiaojun delighted to see Jang EuiSoo..His smile was breaming,nit mention his tiger shaped eyes.They glowed making him somehow less scarier than he usually is
" Xiaojun,get off me..", calmly said Jang ,even though he knew that Xiaojun probably won't even move. Xiaojun giggled at Jang and proceeded to make sure his whole arm is rested on the shoulder.They walked at a slower pace and the whole time Xiaojun kept fixing strands of Jang s pitch black curly hair with his free arm.

"Hyun..can we not go to the assembly",asked Xiaojun , playfully sulking at Jang.
" Why did you get dressed if you didn't want to..",asked Jang but was interrupted when Xiaojun pointed at EunWoo and asked him if he sees Cha EunWoo,who had his hands in his pockets like Jang but EunWoo was even more arrogant. Despite this, EunWoo s beauty was still unparalleled. He had dyed his hair dirty white and even permed it.This made him look like he walked out of a ballad written by a lovestruck literature genius.
"Ahh if it isn't the most wanted bachelor in all of the SeJun University and PROBABLY the most stuck up jerk in all of Korea and it's history", exclaimed Xiaojun looking like he is halfway from strangling EunWoo.
Jang kept quiet and lowered his gaze to the floor . During Xiaojun s introduction of EunWoo,the two boys had stopped moving momentarily.
"God, I hate that fool.why do the heavens have to punish us by making him school here.Besides its not like he owns Asia.Who does he think he is, 'the constitution'..look at him", responded Xiaojun, clearly not buying into EunWoo s enthralling glamour
With that last statement from Xiaojun, Jang raised his eyes to see what he was talking about.A group of young beautiful girls who had been whispering to one another while stealing glances of EunWoo, greeted Cha EunWoo innocentlyThey had been smiling and giggling for a while now.As EunWoo was approaching then, they started to lower thier voice but still pretty excited at Eunwoo.Eunwoo could clearly hear and see them but he looked ahead and just passed them without smiling or saying anything.He outright completely ignored them as if they didn't exist . The girls watched as EunWoo passed by them completely unfliched by their genuine affection.They got drenched in embarrassment such that they kept quiet instantly.One of them who was holding a red letter to EunWoo got reallly shamed at herself that she bit her lower lip and dropped her gaze to the pavement.EunWoo is trully full of himself.

Jang was standing still while looking at this and lowered his eyes but one thing was weird in Jang s expression..He looked somewhat indifferent. The old Jang would have smirked disapprovingly at this display of arrogance but right now at this moment ,Jang didn't react , almost like he sees no wrong in what EunWoo is doing.
"Hyun, hyun.. earth to Jang EuiSoo..did you just see that?!!..", Xiaojun snapped his fingers twice in front of Jang s face and then pointed at the dramatic scene with his whole hand outstretched.He had noticed that for some particular reason that Jang is acting neutral. It's true that EunWoo is a part of the LLC and should maintain composure and strictness at all the time but EunWoo is taking it too far. He is not even the president of the LLC for crying out loud.Even Yuta is not as stuck up as EunWoo.
"We are going to be late,let's go", answered Jang obviously trying to change the topic.After he said that,Jang set lose from Xiaojun 's grip and walked ahead.XiaoJun remained there with his mouth open, shocked at how Jang changed the topic.He placed his arms in his waist and stared mouth agape as Jang walked.While he had his arms akimbo,he walked quickly towards Jang.This made him look like he is waddling , almost like a duck. He passed Jang and a few feet from him while still walking he said
"I swear if BaeKhyun doesn't overthrow this jerk from leadership am going to die of frustration", replied Xiaojun complaining while walking away like an annoyed toddler.
Jang reached for Xiaojun s elbow and pulled it agressively , bringing Xiaojun to an abrupt stop.Xiaojun was statled at this and looked Jang dead cold in the eye.Jang s calm indifference was replaced by a fiery expression and he almost roared when he spoke to Xiaojun
"What do you mean by 'overthrow'?", barked Jang.Xiaojun was used to seeing Jang s agressive side so this didn't scare him at all. Xiaojun rolled his eyes and pouted his lips. Seeing this Jang tightened his grip on Xiaojun s elbow. Xiaojun shrugged his elbow lose but couldn't get Jang to let go,so he had to talk.
"BaekHyun and EunWoo are in the same faculty so they are always trying to beat each other in grades.I heard that this semester whoever gets higher grades will become the vice of the LLC and get sponsored for some philosophical training in some organization.So these two are in each other s necks.", answered Xiaojun
" But EunWoo won't give up easily!!", answered Jang, getting concerned.
" Yep and BaekHyun better play his cards right, because that fool is a ticking time bomb.Hopefully BaekHyun doesn't have any skeletons", answered Xiaojun and finally managing to let lose from Jang s grip.
Jang s eyes ran all over the place and he murmured something inaudibly . Probably something like "phone"and broke out running towards the opposite direction that EunWoo came from. Xiaojun was startled and chased after Jang. Xiaojun tried yelling Jang but Jang disappeared into the air. EunWoo heard Xiaojun yelling Jang and he turned around to see but only saw Xiaojun who was gulping for breath and just a bit exasperated standing while staring at nothing.

Unliving
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021] For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in. The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless. Yet fate had a different path in store for her. For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath. What will fate deal her next? Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. --------------------------------------- Expect: -Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages -World building -Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures -Occasional action Do not expect: -Much in terms of romance -Politics, barring passing views and mentions -A lighthearted tale.

The Cyclical Nature of Time
A girl’s life ends unexpectedly early, or so it would seem. Instead of eternal nothingness, she wakes up in an empty valley with no clue how she got there. Taking her predicament in stride, she sets out to do something about it. Unfortunately for her, the first couple of people she meets aren’t much help. They claim they haven’t heard of electricity and dress as if they were on a break from their job at a Viking-themed amusement park. MC is a somewhat normal girl. She's pragmatic and not very angsty. The story is tagged with anti-hero, but to be clear, she is not a villain. She does good if she can, she just isn't morally motivated to do so. The story starts out smelling of fantasy but will eventually shift towards sci-fi. It contains some supernatural elements and has a strong lead, but it is not your usual power trip. Expect a story that takes its time, but not to the point where entire chapters are spent on mindless chit-chat. I’m not into that. This is my first serious attempt at writing and I've learnt a lot writing this. Unfortunately, that shows. Chapter 1-10 is slow and rather pointless. Things get better, but it is not until chapter 25 or so that I began understanding how to structure chapters and to make them support the larger story. I publish about 3000 words a week (every sunday) but I write about 10000 words a week. Sticking to that pace, which is easy, the last chapter will be out by July.

Awakening
A potent tale of self-discovery. Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness... Now, only scholars retain the last portent of the mythic city A'lara, concealed in a distant glade for the advent of the dragon mage. At the edge of the Known World, the slave Larin escapes her new lord before she meets his dark masters. Deep in the mountains, the legendary elf Kingard awaits his call to battle. When young Darek flees imperial mages tasked to exterminate shape-shifters, he launches them all on a voyage to redeem their unsought destiny. United by fate and guided by prophesy, their growing band of fugitives journey for A'lara to fight the ancient evil infiltrating the capital. But looming over the gears of fate, their enemies follow the same prophesies. With the unknown close upon them, Kingard and his allies face a mortal quest to restore their infected empire. Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up. D.N.Frost is a consummate world-builder with a knack for creating characters that are complex and three-dimensional. Frost writes with graceful prose that is descriptive and well-edited. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L. Spencer, author of The Rhenwars Saga ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2014, and it includes 19 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Awakening: an atlas directory
