Savannah's pov:
Zach stayed in my office, waiting for Garett to come. It's been 5 minutes since we hang up.
"So when do you plan to tell the others that you are gay?" I asked curiously.
"Honestly, I think when the right time will come. I don't want to scare them off." He smiled, but I could see him hiding his sadness.
"They won't be scare, they are your best friends. They will be happy for you." I said, trying to cheer him.
"I'm not sure about that. I mean I know that they love me but I also know that when they will learn that I'm gay, it can change everything among us and I don't want that." He admitted and I frowned.
"Don't think like that. Your thoughts are your biggest enemy. Just go for it, be who you actually are." I said and he smiled, looking at me.
"I can see why he likes you." He said and I looked at him confused.
"What?" I asked.
"Nevermind but you're right. I'll go for it." He said and I nodded.
"Don't force yourself, do it when you are ready." I shrugged and he nodded.
"I know, first I have to enjoy my time with your cousin." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.
"Hmm, and may I know what are your intention about my cousin?" I asked, trying to be stern but it was hard for me not to smile.
"I don't think your innocent ears are ready to hear that." He said and my eyes widened.
"First I'll get him to like me and after I'll get to feel him. You know fuc-"
I covered my ears with my hands, blocking his voice. He was right. I didn't want to hear that. I looked at him and he was laughing at my reactions.

"How about we don't talk about that ever again," I suggested and he nodded amusedly.
"Anyways, are you going out today?" He asked and I shake my head no.
"I'll more likely be in the office. Why?" I asked and he shrugged.
"Just asking."
I went back to my files while Zach went to get himself comfortable on the couch. He was trying on his phone and he was frowning.
The door opened and Garett walked in. He was quick.
"I'm here Savy, what did- oh sorry I didn't know you had company," Garett said when he noticed Zach.
"Yeah, I need to go to the front desk to get a parcel. Why don't you stay here and keep Zach company? I'll be back soon." I lied and Garett nodded. He walked in and sat on my leather chair, his favourite place. I grabbed my phone and walked out of the office. I glanced at Zach and he winked at me. I walked to the elevator and went to the ground floor.
I walked to the counter and Ashley turned to me.
"Did you buy today's newspaper?" I asked and she nodded. She handed me the newspaper and I started to read it while standing there.
"Did Laura came?" Ashley asked confused and I chuckled.
"No, I wanted to take a break." I lied and she nodded.
"Anyway, how are you?" I asked looking at the newspaper. We usually talk about our lives whenever I came here when Laura is with Elijah.
"I have been better." She sighed and I looked up.
"What happened?" I asked and she gave me a weak smile.
"Alex cheated on me." She said and I gazed at her sympathetically
"When did that happen? You just moved in with him." I said and she nodded.

"I know. I moved in last month and last week I found out that he got a girl pregnant." She chuckled sarcastically.
That asshole..
I walked behind the counter and hugged her.
"He is a jerk. He doesn't deserve you." I said and she nodded.
"I'm not even sad about it now." She said as we pulled away.
We talked for almost an hour before I walked to the elevator. I gave Zach and Garett one hour to talk. Hopefully, Zach was able to do whatever he wanted to during this past hour.
I stepped out of the elevator and I raised an eyebrow when I saw Elijah coming out of my office wide-eyed. He noticed me and ran to me.
"What the hell is happening in your office?" He asked shocked.
"I don't know. What did you see?" I asked cautiously.
"Things that I wasn't supposed to see!" He stated and I gasped.
"They better not be doing it on my table," I said walking past Elijah. I made my way to my office but stopped. I was scared to open the door. I turned around and Elijah was right behind me.
"You go in first," I said and he shakes his head vigorously.
"I already saw too much. I'm not going in first." He stated and I sighed. I turned around and knocked before opening the door. I closed my eyes and took three steps ahead.
"Alright, I'm going to open my eyes right now so if you are naked, tell me now," I said, my eyes closed. I heard them chuckled.
"We aren't naked," Zach said and I peaked with one eye open. When I saw that they were both dressed, I opened my eyes completely.
"You can come in," I told Elijah and peeked into the room.
"You told her to come first. What a gentleman." Garett said looking at Elijah.
"Can you blame me?" Elijah asked making us laughed. I looked at Garett and Zach and their hair was messy. Few buttons on their shirt were open.
"Please tell me you didn't do anything on my table or anywhere close to my table," I said and they both smirked.
"Can't tell you that." Zach shrugged and I groaned.
"So you two are a thing now?" Elijah asked confused. He was now standing near me.
"Yeah, but let's keep that between us."

Unlimited Evolution [New]
“If anything can go wrong, it’ll go wrong”—Alex found the truth of this quote the hard way when his Thursday evening was ruined by a blinding golden light. Thrown to war against his wishes, in a world that was not his own, he didn’t even survive the first day. But, death was not his sweet retreat. It was just the beginning. Reborn as an Imp in the hellscape of a dungeon, Alex’s life just got more complicated. In a place where you are food to other monsters and a lump of EXP to humans… survival was nothing but luxury. But Alex will survive. He will squeeze every last bit of potential from his [System] and work his way up the ladder of the food chain until he is strong enough to step out of his prison. The first step to such a lofty goal is to conquer the menace of goblins. Unlimited Evolution narrates the struggles of a young man from earth who gets the short end of the stick even in a different world. After a betrayal that resulted in his death, he wakes as a monster in a dungeon where even his fellow monsters saw him as nothing but food. The story will be a little slow-paced in the beginning and the battles will be calculated, brutal, and short. The litRPG element will be there and the system plays an important role in world-building. I'll try to explore each and every character I introduce as much as I can. Hopefully, I do a good job in that aspect. **I hope you enjoy this book of mine.**

The Verant Chronicles - Book One
The once powerful Verant Empire had been brought to its knees after seven years of civil war. The war maybe over, a new emperor maybe at the helm, but the empire remains broken. Deadly plagues, encroaching monsters, divided political loyalties only scratch the surface of the problems the empire now faces. Highwaymen make the roads unsafe, powerful wizards go unchecked and goblin hordes threaten local towns and villages. Elwin doesn’t want to spend his days as a farmer and dreams of adventure. He, his brother Rith, best friend Emerson and adopted cousin Anna, decide to go out into this world as adventurers hoping to seek fame and fortune just like in the books they read. The empire is at a crossroads as Elwin and his friends experience the aftermath of the war, they must come to terms with what it means to live in the Verant Empire as one of it's citizens. It all begins with an intriguing map sewn into cloth, written in a strange language and depicting a place that doesn’t seem to exist. Elwin and his friends decide to go to the capital city to join the adventurer’s guild and find someone who can translate the map and hopeful recognize the locations depicted. Along the way they encounter lizard creatures, goblins, former soldiers, a bard, druid and a powerful wizard who has his own eye on the map. They meet new friends and create deadly enemies. From great plains to a bustling metropolis, to a town devastated by an earthquake, their world of Gaia has a gritty realism to it and the empire is only a small part of a much large realm. It is a Romanesque world teetering on a renaissance in which Gods, gunpowder, armored knights, griffin riders and magic coexist uneasily. Elwin and his companions drink, they swear, they have sexual encounters, they make mistakes and face serious moral dilemmas at every turn. Planned out to be 30+ chapters in total including a prologue and epilogue. Chapters will be released about twice a week when possible.

A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.
