"Okay, everyone. Get into a circle, we'll start with the oldest to youngest," Noah said, that made everyone smirk in my direction. I rolled my eyes and sat down, ignoring all of them.
Hayden and Neil sat next to me and soon enough, everyone was sitting down. I put the present behind me, so nobody can teach look inside of it. Noah grinned.
"Here you go Neil," Noah said which made Neil raise his eyebrow. He took it from his hand and looked inside the bag, to only gasp with excitement.
"What is it-,"
"It's the limited edition book collection for 'Tower Of The Lost Ones'!" He said, with pure excitement. It was pretty silent until I snorted.
"Since when do you read?"
He turned to me and glared, "Well, first of all, don't ever judge. I can read, and let me tell you, I love reading. Okay, I might have... kept a secret. Whatever though! How did you know Noah?"
"Well, I for one know that you love reading since you've been ranting about it ever since I came here. I'm the only one who knows about Tower Of The Lost Ones since you've been asking me if I could get it," he explained.
"Oh yeah," he said nodding before smiling, "thanks, Noah."
"No problem bud."
Neil looked at Drake and grinned, while he titled his head. Neil gave him his present and he opened it. One by one, all my brothers opened their gifts, and finally, it was my turn. They all started at me, as I smirked and slid the bag to Noah.
Noah pursed his lips as he opened up the bag slowly. Tissue paper went everywhere as he dug out the guitar and put it in front of him. Everyone had wide eyes, especially Noah.

"You remembered?" He asked, staring at me with an unreadable expression. I grinned and nodded. He smiled down at it.
"Press the little red button on the bottom," I told him. He followed my finger and pressed the button, the green light shot up the guitar as Noah's face glowed.
"Oh my god," Conner breathed out from beside him.
"We should play something right now. Like a duo," Aaron suggested, smirking between Noah and I. We both furrowed our eyebrows.
"Harper sings and you play the guitar," he explained. As soon as Aaron said that, everyone was rushing around, getting everything ready.
"Harper, I haven't played in a while," Noah said nervously. I gave him a shrug and thought of an idea.
"Alright here, let's practice real quick, play... Sick Boy by the Chainsmokers," I instructed him, he thought of it real quick, before nodding.
We went into his room and he plays absolutely wonderfully. How did he do that?
I had no time to ask since Leo shouted at us to hurry up. We raced downstairs and Leo handed me the microphone, as all the boys sat down.
"What song?" Leo asked.
"Sick Boy, the Chainsmokers," I told him. He nodded and typed away on his phone. Noah was sitting on the stool, he looked a little nervous, but not too much.
Leo pressed play and dived into the couch, I turned on the microphone frantically.
"I'm from the east side of America, where we choose pride over character and we can pick sides but this is us, this is us, this is.
I live on the west side of America, where they spin lies into fairy dust and we can pick sides, but this is us, this is us, this is.

And don't believe in narcissism when everyone projects and expects you to listen to 'em. Make no mistake, I live in a prison that I build myself, it is my religion. And they say that I am the sick boy, easy to say when you don't take the risk, boy.
Welcome to the narcissism, we're united under our indifference!"
I decided to stop there. We all grinned over at Noah as his eyes grew big. He looked up at me, then unexpectedly, he sprung up from his seat and raced over with his arms spread out. He hugged me so tight, my breathing hitched.
I patted his back.
"Thanks, Harper! I love you so much!" He exclaims, kissing my forehead. I smiled as I saw Lucas taking a picture, while I rolled my eyes.
This was a Christmas to remember.

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.

The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.

The Skies of Aurora (To be rewritten in the future)
The Skies of Aurora A world full of thousands of islands spread throughout an endless sky with no ground to be seen beneath them. Here we find Shawn Blake, who lives a quiet life near a dungeon on the Isle of Fallen Snow. Very few people ever visit the Isle of Fallen Snow because there is only one dungeon that has a connection to the island in all of the endless Skies of Aurora. Thanks to that, Shawn has been able to live peacefully on the island with nothing but his training to worry about, despite being a hybrid of more than one of the five ruling races. However, unfortunately for Shawn, his peaceful life is about to come to an end as some visitors make their way to the Isle of Fallen Snow for reasons unknown. The world of Aurora is a world of endless skies full of floating islands separated by open air with the void far below them, and the only way to get from one island to another is through portals that are located at the end of each dungeon. These portals are connected to the central portal on another island. This book is a litrpg, fantasy, and sky world all in one. I hope you enjoy my book, and I welcome any and all suggestions.

A Hero Among Monsters
A worker goblin in service of a Dread Lord wasn't expected to do much more than maintain the sprawling, underground Machines Works. Although he imagined doing more, Tad had long accepted that he'd likely end up an old man like his boss, Glum, happily toiling among the gears and cranks. When an enigmatic orc named Hohza suddenly recruits the pair of goblins into his War Party, their duties to the Dread Lord Withering Sorrows switch to battling dwarves, sprites, and elves. If Tad survives, he may get to experience a world wider than he'd ever dreamed ... which may be too much for everyone else! New chapters are posted weekly on Thursday mornings.
