Chapter 27
“Could you repeat what you say?” he requested softly. His right hand still wrapped around me while his other hand still stopped at my face.
I looked away and bite my lips. I could feel myself blushed. I felt ashamed for revealing to him about how I felt. I never do anything like this to anyone before and this the first time I tell a guy I’m in love with him. Well not just some guy but Nick.
I was about to respond to him, when Marc barged into the room, “Oops,” he said when he saw the position both me and Nick was in, “I’m sorry, I should have knock,” he apologized, “Continue with whatever you both doing, I’ll comeback later,” he said turning around.
“No,” I stopped him and got up, “Nick and I can continue later,” I looked at Nick who looked a bit disappointed, “Everyone is eager to see you again. It has been 6 week, you know,” I explained to him.
Nick nodded his head and smiled, “Yeah, we can continue what we left off later when we’re alone and this time, I’ll make sure the door is lock.”
Marc chuckled and mocked, “Well it good to know that the accident didn’t do any damage to your character. Glad to have the same Old Nick.”
“Yeah, you got that right, Marc,” I chuckled, “The same cheeky Nick Sinclair.”
“But you both still love him, don’t you?” smirked Nick.
“Yeah, I still do and I never thought I’ll say this but I miss you buddy,” Marc walked over towards Nick and hugged him, “How are you, my friend?”

“I’m feeling alright but I couldn’t really remember some things that happened,” Nick smile at his friend.
“He couldn’t remember what happen during the pass years,” I added.
Marc looked at both Nick and me with wide eyes, “You mean you don’t remember anything that happened recently?”
“Yeah, I don’t remember that you proposed to my baby sister,” mocked Nick. “Did I approve it?” he teased.
“Hey, you already given me your consent even before I proposed to your sister,” scoffed Marc, “You are the one who make me proposed to her.”
“I did?” Nick frowned, “I must be drunk at that time.”
“Hah! You complete sober my friend,” Marc snorted, “And I’m sorry, it’s too late for you to back off with your words. I’m marrying your sister as soon as you can stand on your two feet.”
Nick smirked at Marc, “Well if that the case I’ll take my own sweet time to stand on own two feet.” I laughed at both friends who were teasing and joking with each other and decided to join in their playful bickering.
“If you do that, then I too can’t show you happen between us,” I teased making Nick groaned.
Marc laughed and teased, “If you good to me, I’ll tell you what happen between you two.”
Nick shock his head and cast me a mischievous look, “No, I prefer Ashley show it to me.” I couldn’t help blushing.
“Ah, I really glad you are still the same Nick,” laughed Marc.
I rolled my eyes at both of them while the two guys continued teasing and joking with each other until Nick’s family came in to join us and by afternoon, Nick room was pack with families and friends who came to visit him. We didn’t have the chance to be alone.

“What did you tell Nick about your marriage?’ asked Amy when we both sit at the corner of the room while Nick was talking to his friends.
“I’ve told him the truth,” I told her.
“Oh, really?” she’s sound disappointed.
“You expect me to lie about our status?” I scoffed.
“Well, sort of,” she admitted.
I sighed, “I don’t want to lie to him Amy. I don’t want to pretend to be something I’m not. We don’t know how long until he fully recover his full memory. What if it takes forever? Am I going to pretend to be his “Wife” forever?” I asked her while she remained quiet. “I love your brother Amy and I want to be his wife, a legal wife to him. I want to spend my life with him without pretending anything. I want a real family with him.”
“I know and I’m sorry. I’ll let you do whatever you decide best for you. You have my support,” she smiled.
I smiled back at her and asked shyly, “Do you think he still loves me?”
“I’m sure he does because he sounded happy when he asked whether you both are married,” she said to me.
“He really sounds happy?” I couldn’t stop myself asking.
“Yeah he did. Maybe it’s time for you to admit your feelings towards him,” she suggested.
“I’ve already told him how I felt,” I told her.
“When?” she queered.
“Just now when we’re alone,” I informed her.
“What did he say?” she asked.
“He asked me to repeat it,” I chuckled.
“What?” chuckled Amy, “He didn’t kiss you senselessly after you repeat it to him?”
I shook my head, “Marc came in before I managed to repeat it.”
“Damn him. Remind me to hit him on the head for coming in at the wrong time,” she scoffed making me laughed.
“Well even if Marc didn’t come in, I might not repeat the words to Nick,” I sighed.
Amy looked at me weirdly, “Why?”
“Nick looked shock when I told him, as if he didn’t want to hear those words from me,” I bite my lips trying to stop my tears from falling.
“He definitely is shock but I’m sure he does want to hear those words from you,” assured Amy.
“You sound so sure,” I smirked.
“Because I know it is,” she said to me, “My brother has been in love with you all his life. He’s been telling me almost everyday.”
“Well that’s before the accident,” I pointed out. “Now with the accident and part of his memory is gone, he might not even remember he loved me.”
“You stupid fool,” she scoffed and hit my head, “I’m very sure the accident hasn’t changed his feeling towards you. I’m very, very and 100 percent sure that he still loves you. I know my brother’s love towards you is strong. A strong love is something not easy to be erased.”
“I wish I am as positive as you,” I said to her.
“You should be when you see the way he’s looking at you right now,” she said nudging her head towards Nick.
I turned and Nick immediately smiled when he saw me looking at him. I returned his smile. Maybe it just my feeling but the way he looked at me make me blushed. There’s a passion and longing look in his eyes which make me wished I could chase everyone out so that I could kiss him senseless.
“Doesn’t that look shows how he felt towards you?” whispered Amy in my ears. Yeah, she probably right and hopefully she’s right.

8 158Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading! Cover art (fullsize): Forgotten World Coliseum, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli.

8 213The Knight Eternal
When violent freak storms scourge across the Earth, a giant rift transport millions of people into another world. They found themselves in Hammer Forge, a vast, untamed land filled with formidable sorceries and monsters, endless wars, and cutthroat intrigue. Trapped and broken, the surviving humans shockingly discover that none of the women were transported through the rift, forcing the men to drown on their grim purpose and their barren future. But everything isn't what it seems. The Knight Eternal tells a tale of a weary soldier, who once again carries the troubled winds of war; Of a healer chained in the most treacherous journeys for his people's future; Of three sons—three young boys undertaking the cruel test of fates that ushers the rise of a dynasty, who all come together to rule and conquer in blood and steel. In the lands of magic and intrigue, the truth of their circumstance is malevolently more sinister than they can ever imagine. -- Update Schedule: I try to post 3x a week, with at least 10,000 words total for that given week. Update days vary, but I will post them once the chapters are ready (Most likely in an MWF schedule PDT).
