The students' Union Bar later that night. The Prof. and Latunji are at a table, drinking. Many empty bottles of beer litter the table. Jones, the bartender is in the background, regarding the duo malevolently. There is no other customer in the bar.
LATUNJI: Ah, Prof., I cannot but... (Belches)… ’xcuse me ... be shaken by your tale of woe. But tell me again Prof.... (Belches)… 'xcuse me ... did you or did you not say that Liz refused to submit to you?
PROF.: My dear Lat, (Belches)...' xcuse me ... it is unfortunately so, and I at present stand utterly disgraced. What pained me most is her taunt (Belches) ... 'xcuse me... that I have not grown wise with age but my wisdom has with the flowers of my youth withered away. She left with the threat that she would expose my foul nature to the whole world. Ah Lat, (Belches)... I wish I hadn’t embarked on that danger-fraught course in the first instance.
LATUNJI: My dear Prof., I see now that you are a genius in chemistry but a novice in the psychology of women. Don't you know that it is that thing which a woman most admires in a man that she abuses? I tell you Prof., (Belches)... it is because of your bald head and grey beards that Liz loves you. You see, a woman is like the sick man who first sniffs at the medicine that he must swallow. Her taunt about your old age only shows that she loves you for that very fact.
PROF.: You sincerely think so?
LATUNJI: I believe it. My advice to you, Prof., is that you must to Liz return and pelt with more flowery words till she submits. You see, to resign yourself to fate now is to die in disgrace. And that man is wise who his disappointment uses as a stepping-stone to greater glory. So, to Liz you must return with more flowery words as well as subtle threats of failure. Soon she will fall into your waiting arms. Go on, Prof., be a man. She is but testing your manliness!

(Exit both.)

Reaching for One's Desire: Kane's Ascension
After living most of his life as a worthless orphan, Michael Kane only desired for the chance to make something of himself in this world of monsters and magic. In a world where only wealth and power mattered, he was literally at the bottom of the food chain. He fucking hated it. Always having felt that he was destined for something greater than what was essentially a beggar’s life, Michael held hope that things would change with the arrival of the Day of Gaia’s Gift, which happened exactly halfway through the year. It was the day in which everyone that was fifteen years old was given access to the System and was given a ‘Class’ depending on your aptitude, two if you were exceptional and lucky. It was his hope that he was given at least one class worthy of becoming an Adventurer, which would help him start his path to a life of wealth, fame, luxury and pleasure. Being an orphan that never knew his parents and having no one that he cared for nor that cared for him, it was not surprising that these were Michael’s goals. Little does he know, that he is destined for even greater things.

Dark Winter
It is always darkest before the dawn. After the divorce, Katie Fox was forced to live with her mother in New York after the judge ruled that her father, a former Army Ranger, wasn’t stable enough. They called him ‘that crazy bunker guy’ or ‘that paranoid freak.’ Whatever they called him, Christopher Fox was a Prepper. He taught those willing to listen how to survive in a catastrophe and how to prepare for the end of the world. More than that though, he was her father and she would rather spend her life in his underground bunker than another minute in that New York highrise. So, she ran away. The date is November 28th, Black Friday and hell has been unleashed on the world. A freak storm mixes with a deadly virus that turns its victims into mindless hunters of flesh. Katie will have to use everything her father taught her to survive and reach the safety of his underground bunker. Note from the author: Thanks for stopping by! The plan is to upload a chapter every Saturday or Sunday (as my schedule allows). Hope you enjoy the story!

First and foremost, I must apologize as this story is currently on an indefinite hiatus. School, my main project, and writer's block have gotten in the way.

Thus, I shall ensure I am thoroughly prepared before posting anything else, but I plan to return to this someday to conitnue it. What better retirement plan for a scumbag than to become a demon? Whether he likes it or not, that's Berrick's only choice. Heaven thinks hell is getting a little lukewarm and Berrick is just the guy to heat things up again. Follow Berrick as he works for home and hell as one of the few Egg Guardians. Author's note: Are you looking for bad writing, terrible dialogue, short chapters, and slow releases? Then you've come to the right place! This is honestly just something I'm writing for fun and figured I'd publish while I'm working on my main project, but I always appreciate constructive criticism so I can improve.
