saw with a smirk plastered over my lips, as the face of the blonde slowly fell after I turned him down in a fluke.
"Make it Blue Arrow with a little whiskey for all of us" the brunette with the deep voice, who was called Jonathan as Jessica told me the last time, said hence making me avert my glaring attention from the blond head and I scribbled it out with a stiff nod.
From the corner of my eye, I could feel a pair of familiar hazel eyes staring at me. Stiff as a pole, not moving a limb.
I've seen him at school.
"You'll be served in five" but I payed least of my attention to them and after reciting those words with the highest degree of politeless, I skew away.
Making my way through the sticky crowd, I placed the ripped paper from my note pad, over the bartender's desk.
"Ouch! That was harsh, go easy on him. Anders isn't bad except the fact that he's a bit flirty" Mike said taking the paper, as his hand rubbed the back of his neck.
Wow! I don't entertain such j*rks.
My right eyebrow arched on its own as I folded my arms over my chest, without uttering a single word simply shooting daggers at him.
"Fine. Forget what I just said"

The bright lights of the red board shone before my eyes as I slipped out from the leather interior of my yellow bug in the parking lot of .
With an exciting buzz of energy through my body, I allowed the hoodie of my jacket to cover my face.
A light smirk appeared on my lips as I strolled over and pushed open the glass doors of the bar and smelled the unique smell of the place, charging me up in all ways.

Hooting and screams littered the place as I squeezed my way through the thick crowd and finally made it to the ring in the centre.
"We've got our next opponents" the voice said as I bent and went in through the ropes.
My opponent this time was a little less muscled up, compared to the ones I've been facing off in a while. His hands folded up, were held up to his face as he hopped around the ring eyeing me.
A smirk lifted the corner of my lips as soon as the bell rang and I stood guarded to any of his moves.
In a blink, he launched his fist to my face which I saw coming and grabbed it before it could come near me. Twisting it behind his back in a cruel way, I gave him a push. But surprisingly he dodged me at that and stepped back, chuckle rumbling through his chest.
A couple of punches and kicks, I kept landing on him here and there to keep him conscious through the fight and for me to go through the phase of cool down.
However, it lasted shortly when suddenly he launched his knee to my gut taking me off guard. An immense amount of pain rolled through my body, but I hissed it away.
He launched his fist towards me in a swift move again, but I took hold of the wrist and twisted his arm in an arm wrench.
I then climbed up the corner turnbuckles and walked on the top rope, before jumping down and striked the back of his neck with full force.
A painful growl boomed through the place, when finally the body thudded onto the floor of the ring and the bell was rung.
Blood gushed through my veins with anticipation and sweat soaked my thin clothing as I wore a victory smile before stepping off.

I heard my name being chanted and cheers rising from the crowd as I walked through and made my way towards the desk.
"$400. I'll have to bet more on you from now on. You're easy money" the bartender said as I grabbed the stalk and shoved it in my jackets pocket, before walking towards the exit.
"Hey Blake. What a coincidence!"
"Likewise"
Walking past the figures, I finally made it through the tinted glass doors.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Undying Lairs: A LitRPG web novel series
Chris Able is as risk-averse as they come after losing his job with the Atlanta PD and his recent divorce. So he looks forward to a weekend of safe, table-top gaming with his old college friends in the beautiful North Georgia mountains.Instead, he’s pulled into a dank, monster-infested fantasy dungeon, where his survival depends on mastering the skills, magic, and personality of the player character he’s possessing. At least his friends are with him, but in the bodies of their own player characters. And none of them know how they got there.Chris soon learns that to get home, he and his friends must do the impossible – defeat a god-like being at the center of the dungeon that knows far too much about their Earthly lives.It’s not the weekend a guy with anxiety issues needs. The Undying Lairs series is a LitRPG web novel. It starts with book one, THE TOMB OF ANGELUS. You'll notice "B1" in front of the first 35+ chapters, which means those chapters are part of "Book 1." When book one ends, "B2" will begin, and so on throughout the series. I know how the series ends, but getting the characters from here to there is the fun part. :-) Starting March 22, 2022, chapter releases are 4 pm ET Tuesdays and Thursdays.
