"Alex. Jax. Can you come outside? We have two women for you here", Sam yells from the living room. Why? Why are there two women for us? I start to panic, where is Ash when I need her?
Okay, calm down. Breathe in, breathe out.
"Jax? Alex?"
"Yeah, I'm coming", I yell back.
I walk outside. There are two women sitting with their back to Jax and me. They remind me of Ash and Ali, but why should they be here? They go to France for the World Cup in five days.
"These women are looking to adopt you and Jax. So behave", Sam says in my ear.
To Jax, she does the same. Jax and I look at each other and I grab his hand.
"Let's do this, little sister."
"I am only five minutes younger, ass." I laugh.
He always teases me because I'm a few minutes younger. We are twins.
But what will happen when they adopt us? Do we have to move, or can we live here? Would we ever see Ali and Ash again? Breath in, breath out. Repeat.
"Hi, Baby Kriegs. Hi, Jax."
I'm shocked. The two women are standing behind us.
"Ash? Ali?"
'What are you doing here?'
"We were looking for the twins that are here with their foster parents, we would love to adopt them. Do you know where they are?" Ash is joking, I'm sure.
"Okay Ash, stop joking, why are you here?" I say annoyed, she isn't funny at the moment.
"We were here to speak to your foster parents and sign some papers. If you want to only", Ali replies.
"Which papers?" Jax says.
"Your adoption papers", Ash replies casually, like it's nothing.

"What?", I scream.
"Do you want us to be your moms?"
The only thing I can do is jump is Ash' arms and cry. I never had a mood change so fast.
"Are you freaking serious?"
"Yes, Al, we are."
"Thank you, thank you so fucking much", says Jax, crying. I only have seen Jax crying at mom's funeral, but by now he is crying in Ali's arms.
After a few minutes of crying, all four of us, we have some serious stuff to do. The packing, the last names, traveling stuff, stuff for the USWNT etc.
"Jax, Alex, uhm..., do you want your old last name, or Harris, or Krieger. You can choose, we don't care."
"I really want another last name, when I say my full name with my last name, it remembers me too much of our mother", says Jax.
"Same for me. Jax, Harris or Krieger?", I reply.
"Let's do Harris then, for as you two get married and Ali gets Ashlyn's last name." He adds a wink, Ash and Ali are blushing, I am laughing.
"Okay, hi Alex Harris, hi Jax Harris. You have to be my son and daughter", says Ash. "Yeah, we are your children, forever. So don't leave, ever."
"Wasn't planning on it", is the reply we get from Ash and Ali.
A short(er) chapter, but I thought this would be a nice ending for this chapter. Sorry, not sorry.

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.
