《Seven Facts Of A Hunter》Chapter 17

You turn around to see Dean standing about 20 feet behind you.
"Dean, before you say anything-" Sam started.
"I always teased, but never thought you two would actually end up together." He smirked, but in his eyes you can see something. Almost a disappointment.
You turn around to look at him, Sam directly behind you. "It's not gonna make anything weird, is it?" You ask.
"Just no having sex where I can see and no chick flick moments." Dean waves it off as he goes to the refrigerator.
"Dude." Sam grumbles, his bitch face strong as you laugh.
Sam throws his hands up in surrender and goes to sit down at the table.
"Dean, no matter how long you stare at the fridge, food isn't going to magically appear." You chuckle, setting your hand on his to get his attention.
Dean cleared his throat as he closed the door, avoiding eye contact "Right." He choked out as he left the room.
"That was weird..." You comment, looking to Sam who simply shrugs.
"I'm sure things won't be too different, we've been pretty close for the last couple years."
"True." You sigh, opening the fridge "Are you hungry? I can make lunch."
"Sure." Sam smiles at your back, watching as you begin to grab ingredients.
"Think Dean's hungry?" You ask, peaking from around the door.
Sam simply shrugs as you close said door, setting the food on the table.
"I'm gonna go find him. See what's up."
Sam nodded, grabbing the food and taking it over to the stove to start working on it.
You walk around the bunker, not finding him anywhere. The last place to look is the firing range down in the basement. You go down the steps, careful not to trip on your sore ankle.

As you approach, you hear shots going off, a full clip unloading in quick procession.
When you enter the room, you see Dean, his pistol in his hands, and cartridges scattered around him. A couple dozen clips lay next to him, 3/4 of them already empty.
Dean doesn't see you come in, and continues firing. You wait for him to finish his latest clip before taking.
"Good shot." You comment on the giant whole he has busted through the paper target, there's practically nothing left of it.
Dean grunts in conformation as he loads in another clip, unloading it into the paper, the target falling off of the clip it was held with and onto the floor.
"Sam and I are making lunch, we were wondering if you wanted anything." You ask, carefully stepping closer. He seemed a little too high strung to get too close to.
"No." He grumbled,pulling what was left of the target in so he could replace it.
"Dean? Are you okay?" You ask, setting your hand on his forearm.
His eyes catch yours, a mixture of sadness and anger radiating within them.
Without a second thought, nor time for you to react, he grabs your hand and pulls you close, kissing you.
You try to push him away, but his grip on you is strong.
He only stops after he hears someone behind you clear his throat.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

This is a tale of defiance in the face of annihilation, the soul-crushing horror of interstellar war, and the death of dreams.
