《Detention (DNF)》Twenty-one

bad, are you alone right now?
GEORGE! You muffinhead! Yes, I'm alone, where are you?
I sighed in relief, and called him. He picked up immediately.
"GEORGE! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I assured him. "You're completely alone?"
"I'm in my car, driving, looking for you. Everyone else is, too."
I felt my stomach drop. Oh god, I'm so stupid. I should've told them not to look for me, and now they're probably worried sick.
"Well, I'm okay now, but I don't really wanna face them.... can we meet up?"
"I'll pick you up," he replied. "Send me your address."
Soon I was in Bad's car, and he was listening intently. I told him about my nightmares, about Clay, about running and about my years before I'd found him, Karl and Alex.
"Oh, you muffin," he sighed. "We're always here for you, you don't need to feel bad for needing support. I'm sorry you had to go through all that alone."
"Sorry for going MIA," I mumbled. "I need to apologize to Clay, but I'm scared that his parents will put me in foster care again. They're lawyers."
"We can talk to him," Bad assured me. "For now, can we meet up with the others? They're wondering where we are."
I took a deep breath. "Okay, but without Clay."
We drove to Alex's house, where everyone was meeting up. I felt nervous as I walked in through the front door, even though I'd only been gone for a day.
Immediately, Karl hugged the life out of me. "George! You're okay, oh my god."
I laughed nervously. "Yeah, sorry for the drama."
He shook his head, his fluffy hair flinging around. "Dont be sorry, I should've been there for you."

"Yeah, you were too busy smooching Nick," Alex laughed, and my eyes widened. I went over to him, hugging him too.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you for so long. It's just..I'm sorry."
"It's okay," he said, hugging back. "I get it, it's not something that's easy to open up about."
Then Bad poked me, and pointed upstairs. I looked at him confused, and then realized he meant Clay was up there.
I took a deep breath, and walked up the stairs, leaving Bad to explain everything for me. I pushed open the door to Alex's room, which was a mess as usual.
Clay was sitting on the bed, and when he saw me, jumped up.
"George!!"

Embers of the Shattered God
For over three thousand cycles since the Ascension, magic has been available to the people of the Colonized Worlds. An era of prosperity marred by conflict. Then, a hundred cycles ago, the wars ceased. The precarious peace between the Empire and the Kingdom of Ascion ends when an imperial ambassador is murdered. The case is thoroughly investigated, irrefutable evidence gathered, and a manhunt for the killer begins. The only problem? The investigators don’t seek to restore peace – they seek to justify war. As many people’s fates get entangled by the crime, who can say which ones the chaos will reap? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Release Schedule Chapters will be released once per week, though I've not yet decided on a specific day.

This book will feature elements of space travel and advanced technology, but not too much, and the main focus will be on the characters as they strive to achieve their goals.

Event Horizon
Warning: the first blue box appears at chapter 24. David always lived his life, looking at the world through a film of grey. He knew he was dull, he knew he was worthless. And the world was too. His life ended in an instant, hit by a truck. Then he woke up again, and the System gave him a mission. Pretty standard isekai, so far. The only problem was that whenever he died, he respawned. After agony and pain, he would come back reforged. And so he died, again and again. And when he completed his mission, another one awaited. On and on. But his life had meaning now.

Homecoming Hero [Post/Reverse Isekai]
A Reverse/Post-Isekai story. When he was only fourteen, Morgan Moon was thought to have died in an infamous plane crash. Instead, he arrived in the world of Validar where he discovered that he was the Chosen One prophesied to rid Validar's Nine Realms of its maniacal tyrants. After a decade-long adventure across this new world, Morgan fulfilled his destiny at the cost of his life. This, however, only concluded the hero's saga in Validar itself. Rather than making a final departure to the afterlife, he's found himself back on Earth after ten years. To his shock, he hasn't made the journey alone. Quite a few and far from the friendliest of Morgan's 'old associates' from Validar had made their way to Earth ahead of him, and they all have been eagerly awaiting the Chosen One's return for one reason or another. The hero's homecoming will not quite be the wholesome event he was hoping for.

Stealing Is An Art Form | ✓
Solace Laurent and Sage Reyes never got along. They fought and competed over everything, whether it was grades or afterschool clubs. She hated his arrogant, I-don't-care-about-the-rules behaviour and he loved to annoy her. Not one day went by in high school when an argument didn't break out until he disappeared without a trace. Solace, along with Sage's family and the entire school, thought he was dead. After months of criminal investigations, search parties, and missing persons posters, he was nowhere to be found. But what happens when Sage shows up at her doorsteps in the middle of the night, bruised and bloody?***"Sage?" whispered Solace in utter shock. He smirked at her as he leaned against the doorframe, looking her up and down from her blue penguin pajamas to her oversized t-shirt until he met her eyes. She felt a rush of emotions when she heard his voice after six months. It was the same: deep, unbothered, and familiar. "Solace Laurent, I need your help."
