《Hex [h.s]》Chapter Thirty-nine
Advertisement
After bidding both of my parents farewell, Randy carefully assisted me to the door, scared that I may trip or ran over a wall, but before could even turn the knob, dad warned Randy playfully out of nowhere. "You better bring back our daughter in one piece young man!" Randy turn towards dad, and all I did was drop my jaw."Or you'll be sorry."
"Dad!" I gasped, clearly not expecting it. Was he out of his mind to threaten Randy? Well, one thing I was sure of, it was an empty threat. Dad wasn't capable of violence, but we don't know for sure.
"It's alright." Randy whispers, before clearing his throat. "Yes sir, I would take care of your daughter. You don't have to worry." Randy spoke with confidence.
"Be back before night falls, let's sat, eight p.m sharp."
"Yes sir." Randy answers, earning a scoff from dad. "You better, now run along." And Randy and I were out of the house, him guiding me where the car was parked.
"Oh! And one more thing!" I heard dad yell, making me groan. What was it now? "Keep your hands to yourself mister!" That was the last thing he said before hearing the front door shut.
I mentally facepalmed myself, how could he embarrass me without even knowing? Damn, is it that oblivious? Well, some parents are oblivious to the obvious, set your mother for example. My subconscious mocks.
I suddenly felt eyes were staring at me, but it disappeared once Randy muttered something under his breath. "What?"
"Your parents are looking at us through the window." He whispers, and I huffed in annoyance. "Just don't mind them."
Randy opens the passenger door for me, letting me in first, before he made his way to the driver's seat. The engine roared to life, and

before I knew it, the SUV backed out of the drive way, and soon sped along.
I finally sigh in relief, opening the window to my left. I pushed my arm out, letting it hit the sun's rays. I smiled in glee when the air hit my face, making my damp hair fly around wildly.
This is, freedom. I laughed when Randy chuckled, seriously, his laugh is contagious. Yeah, but Harry's lips are desirable. I froze,my laughter died down, before looking at Randy. One hand was on the wheel while the other was on his phone.
I looked at the boy, the boy who treasured our times together. The boyfriend that I always wanted. But right now? I couldn't look at him because of shame, what happens if he finds out that I kissed a someone else? A demon to point it out, will he leave me?
Of course he would, you idiot! My subconscious mind remarks. Why would he stay and pretend it didn't happen, when you choosed him over a freak of nature?
I didn't choose Harry over him, what makes you say that? I snapped. Let's not forget Harry is a malefic person. A product of evil. And he's malevolent, so why on earth would I like him?
You do now, don't you? My subconscious sneered, don't you like Harry? The way he held you close to him? When he stares at you like you're the last thing left on this earth? The way he kisses your lip -stop!
"Lucy, are you okay?" I snapped out of my train of malicious thoughts, and divert my attention to my boyfriend. "Huh? Y-yeah! I'm okay." I answered with a nervous laugh.
"You wanna tour the town?" He suddenly ask out of the blue. I nodded, "Yeah, I always wanted to, but let's just say I got busy and all. So, I never had the time." I answered, half of it was true, she was busy. Busy trying to kick Harry's bloody arse out of his own house.

"Do you want to go to Silent Mound High?"
The question caught me off guard, making my jaw drop in utter shock. I wasn't aware that I was silent for two good minutes when Randy address me again.
"Well Lucy? Are you?" His question seems to haunt me, but I manage to say my answer. "Yeah, o-of course." This made him frown, "I thought you hated the idea?"
Yeah, I thought you did. My subconscious spoke, before I blocked her out. Now's not the time for silly and nonsence stuff.
"I-I actually don't know. I don't wanna finish my high school here, but what choice do I have?" I leaned on my seat, pulling ny hand in from the window and looked down.
Even if I don't have a blurry vision, I can tell he was frowning at my answer. Bug before he could talk, I beat him to it, "I don't have a choice but to accept it Randy. As much as I want to go back and finish our highschool together. I can't."
He chuckled, much to my surprise. I expected him to be furious, or maybe sadden, but not chuckling as if it was nothing. "Sheesh, chill babe. You sounded like you wanna break up with me." He joked, but I didn't find it funny.
The rest of the ride was silent, as we tour around town. It seems like Silent Mound isn't as huge as I thought it would be. After a few turns, Randy spoke. "You know, when I first got here, I was confused."
I cocked an eyebrow, "Why?" I questioned and he sighs. "It wasn't easy for me to get here. Once your dad heard from you, he tracked your cell phone. He wanted me to come along, but I wasn't ready at that time, so I told him I'll catch up." He spoke, "So after convincing my parents, I packed and left to meet your father here."
"So? What's so confusing?" I can't help but be curious. "Well, before your dad left, he once again called saying to meet him in Silent Mound, I didn't know where in the world it was, so I asked the taxi driver to take me there. When he search it up in the gps, it was so odd."
"Why?"
"It wasn't located anywhere. It shows that Silent Mound doesn't exist. It isn't in the map." He shrugs, "I don't know why, but I think his gps was broken."
I frowned, surely Silent Mound is in the map. "So, how did you get here?"
"I told your dad about my predictment, so he came back and took me." He said, "It was really weird, for a second I thought it was a ghost town or some sort, but when I got here, it does exist."
The SUV stopped, I looked at him, "Why did we stop?"
He got out of his car and opened my door, "Well, after hours touring this town, I thought you might be hungry. After all, it is past lunch time. " He spoke, and I can tell he was grinning. "And, due to our little tour, I found this diner that looks pleasing."
"Okay." I mumbled and took his hand, which he held up for me to take. As we walk towards a small building, I can't help but wonder. Why the hell is Silent Mound not in the map?

Spellcraft
This is the revised and rewritten version of Spellcraft! Explore the world, meet new and interesting monsters, and kill them for their loot. It was a tale as old as gaming, and it bored Conlan to death. He always had more fun finding little chinks in a game’s systems. He loved figuring out how to exploit those systems and turn them to his advantage. And ever since the release of Lotus, revolutionary hardware that finally delivered the dream of stepping into a fully immersive VR world, he'd had more items on his game breaking agenda than ever before! Lately he’d been using those skills to mess with Horizon Online Entertainment. He figured screwing those bastards over was the least he owed the corporate pricks for killing his sister in one of their Lotus VR modules. They had too much money to face justice from the courts, but he was hellbent on destroying them in the court of public opinion! Only there’s only so much he can do to fight Horizon from inside their games, and a whole new digital battlefield is opening up: Lotus Online. The greatest and most immersive VRMMO ever created, the ultimate expression of the Lotus hardware made by the masters who created that hardware, and Horizon is trying to invade that new world and take it over the same as they’ve taken over everything else! Yeah, not if Conlan and his best gaming buddy Kris have anything to say about it. Because Conlan has a secret weapon. He’s discovered something in Lotus no one else has: Spellcrafting. The chink in Lotus’s armor. He's always loved crafting, and he's discovered a system that might just allow him to take over the game world, kick Horizon out, and hit them right in the bottom line in the real world. Assuming he can survive all the invading Horizon bootlickers trying to kill him long enough to pull off the greatest exploit of his infamous game breaking career! Spellcraft is a 225,000 word GameLit novel that is totally finished. New chapters are released every other day!

Killstealer
Unfinished - Apologies to anyone who was reading but I have no current intentions to revisit this story Alex was stuck in a rut: He was nearing thirty, and his career seemed to be going no-where; He used to have plenty of friends at university, but had gradually lost touch with them. He had recently started using a dating site, but truthfully he never quite got over his ex. It could be worse; he didn't spend his nights wallowing in self pity. However, he had a sinking feeling that his life was going no-where fast. When Alex decided to take up an old hobby all he really was looking for was something fun to do on friday nights. Thrust into another world by a mad mage Alex must adapt quickly to survive. Unfortunately, Alex showed up late to game night and ends up stuck with a pretty mediocre character in this game like reality. Alex must learn to survive in this new world; just because it all seems like a giant game doesn't make death any less terrifying. This will be my first attempt at writing litrpg. I wanted to set myself the challenge of writing every week and I think knowing people might be reading it will motivate me. I've always worked much better with external deadlines. FAQ Why should I read this LitRPG? I am writing because I enjoy it and you should read it if you enjoy it. If I had to make an elevator pitch I would start off by saying my MC is a rogue type character, which seems a relatively uncommon character at least based on what I have read. I also strive to make the supporting cast three dimensional characters, and not just caricatures. Finally, I can't forget that this is a LitRPG so I have tried to make a RPG system with depth, and one that makes sense. How often will you release chapters? At least once a week is my goal. I am a nurse with a baby at home, so between my hospital and my baby I won't have time for more unless something dramatically changes. Will there be romance? I won't rule it out as I try to let my characters write their own stories. However, there will NEVER be a harem, it just isn't something I am interested in. Gore, Profanity, and Traumatising Content? I don't intend to have any of these present at obscene levels, but my tolerance might be different to yours. The tags are mostly there to cover me.
