"Stranger!"
"Shhhhh."
"So that no one knows I'm here?"
"Outside someone's house?"
"I'm here on business and yes I know them."
"Were you happy to hear from me at such an ungodly hour?"
"Do you think they'll be happy to see me at this time?"
"No. Like I told you I'm here on business."
"People say karma's a bitch. Well they forgot about me being one too. I'm not going to wait for karma to act up."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"I called you after I snuck out actually."
"Yes."
"Either someone like me, who has a revenge mission to accomplish or someone like them who is obsessed with their looks and takes an entire hour and a half to get ready."
"And someone like you too."
"Yeah, someone who's got nothing better to do than attending a random stranger's call."
"I'm sure you do..."
"I was bored waiting, duh!"
"No."
"Cuz I'm outside the other person's home? Wouldn't want them to know I'm the one doing this now, would we?"
"Maybe."
"So do you. I mean you pick up every time I call. It's like you're always doing nothing. By the way why are you even up at this hour?"
"Oh. I want some too now."
"I hate you."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Mom! Dad! Emergency! Emergency! Emergency! Help! Help! Help! Someone please help!"
"Yes! She's up. Now shhhhh and have fun."
"What is it? Why would you wake me up at this hour, and you know your mum's out of town- ahhhhhhhh jesus!"
"Dad!"
"Hahahaha. What- hahah-"

"Okay okay, I'm sorry. So care to share what happened? Why is your skin blue and hair green?"
"I took a shower dad. I think the shampoo had hair die. And then the towels! Yes! The towels! They had die too. It left this blue colour everywhere on my skin! My face is ruined. And I look so bad with green hair!"
"Hahahaha this is funny!"
"Dad!"
"Okay okay sorry sorry. Why don't you go and shower again. Maybe it'll come off?"
"Okay..."
"Oh and Claire?"
"Yes Daddy?"
"Make sure not to use the same products again. Hahahaha this is hilarious."
"Ugh Dad! I hate you!"
"I know right! And the best part is still left."
"Oh yes. Do you think I'll let her off the hook so easily?"
"Poor? Her? Hah no! She deserves it."
"It's Claire."
"Yes."
"Maybe."
"Dad!"
"What- whoa who are you and what happened to my daughter?"
"Dad! Stop laughing!"
"Jeez okay. So, what happened?"
"I used the other shampoo."
"The new one?"
"Yes."
"And?"
"And? You're seriously asking for that? My hair fell off dad! Look!"
"Oh god. Oh jesus. Hahahaha."
"Dad! Stop laughing. This isn't funny!"
"Okay okay. Mind telling me why are you dressed non-slutty?"
"Not only dresses like one. She is a slut."
"Slut? Dad those are stylish clothes. I'm your daughter you're not supposed to be calling me a slut! And all my clothes except these hideous sweatpants and t-shirts are destroyed. Someone cut holes in half of them dad! And there's this sticky stuff on the rest. Hmph."
"Jeez woman calm down. I'm your father not one of your boy toy's. You're not supposed to be talking to me like this."

"What the hell dad? Boy toy's?"
"I might have found something while you were in the shower."
"Found something? What is it?"
"I'll show you but I want to know something first."
"What is it?"
"I know you sleep around but was it really necessary to film it too?"
"Wha- film? Dad?"
"Oh but I did."
"I know. I told you I'm a bitch, didn't I?"
"Now I'm leaving. And getting myself some ice cream."
"Why should I be? She deserves it."
"I might be a bitch but I would never in my life stoop down to that level. I didn't film it."
"I said I would never stoop down to that level, didn't I? Good to know you think so lowly of me though."
"Oh, I heard the guy telling his team mates the last time I uh- visited? the boys changing room. And she is- was my best friend back then. Didn't hesitate to steal it from him. He can't report something like that being stolen thus no one knows who stole it. Even Claire wouldn't suspect me on this."
"Good, you should be."
"Wow. We've been talking for that long now, huh."
"Well I should get going then."
"We have an endless supply of ice cream at home, available all the time."
"So, I'm almost home and I can't really talk on the phone while climbing up a tree. And you need to move somewhere else. Who even sits on the stairs for ice cream?"
"Bye stranger."

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead
The cycle is simple enough. A Dungeon Core is born from a wayward soul. It seeks power and agency, and works to accumulate wealth to fuel its power, in turn using this power to accumulate further wealth. Inevitably, the mind is lost as desperation and ambition drive it to commit darker and darker acts. Shortly thereafter, the adventurers arrive to quell the core. This is a tale that has repeated itself countless times throughout history: all cores desire power. And yet, this core seems to have it backwards. It doesn't want to rule the world. It has no desire to enslave or conquer. No, this core doesn't want to be a warlord, a villain, or a tyrant. It wants to start a core-poration. After all, when money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core that wastes an absurd amount of time and effort trying not to be evil on his journey to earn fat stacks against all odds. -This is a 'Dungeon Core' type fiction with LitRPG elements in it. The start may be fairly slow compared to the average. Expect roughly 2.5k per chapter. -I'm only a hobbyist writer. As such, there may be the occasional error and pacing may be poorly-handled. Constructive criticism is alway welcome. I'm just here to write stuff that makes my brain release the g o o d c h e m i c a l s. -I am trashy and I like monsterpeople so you can expect an awful lot of those as we get further in. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy.

Madness Led by the Hands
‘Great, no… splendid. It was for naught.’ ‘Naught? Depends. If your desire is to send an army of killers our family’s way, yes indeed. If it’s plain survival you seek, then no.’ ‘They don’t coexist?’ ‘What… don’t tell me you’re still all groggy from the fall. Perhaps in novels, but real life is much tougher–––many more times a drag than anyone can possibly imagine. If dusty history is not a reliable teacher for you, then the pandemic surely took that place. At least that one has the advantage you needn’t be literate to savvy how reality always trumps imagination.’ ‘Whatever you say, whatever you say. So… what now?’ ‘Now? Isn’t it obvious? Now we shall survive. And live a good life.’ ‘Ohh… pretty much everything here has something against this little weird wish of ours. Might you consider?’ ‘Then pretty much everything here is a goner.’ ‘Hm, I don’t like the sound of that. Too much trouble, you see. I’d prefer laying low somewhere safe.’ ‘…nobody told you it’s mutually exclusive, no–––or did you forget about that too?’ ‘Fine, then I wish my future enemies all the best.’ ‘They are undeserving of your pity.’ ‘Of course not. That unlucky bunch won’t ever comprehend the reason behind their demise. Just let me smoke in peace and offer my condolence in advance.’ ‘Idem, let me study alchemy, unobstructed by all, if possible. This also includes you. By the way, are you sure you smoke to offer condolences? It seems like an excuse to me.’ ‘I-it is none. Plain truth, you see?’ ‘Seriously, why did I even ask...?’

The Valion Chronicles - The Emergence
An action-adventure story about the struggles of a group of refugees from the war torn world of Valin fleeing the vindictive fury of a scientist turned military madman bent on intergalactic domination. The crew of the Safe Haven finds their way to Earth to discover that not only are there humans there but a variety of other alien species cohabitating on Earth which had become a central trading hub in the time they'd been in contact with a collective known as the Transgalactic Federation of Planets. The story is meant to be my take as a westerner on the concept of a Japanese Shonen Anime written with inspirations from the likes of Power Rangers and Kamen Rider but also meant to be my own spin on the conventions and tropes of the genre with a bit more of a large-scale world and a very open ended universe with lots of room to develop things outside the world of the main cast.
