《Emerald》64

I opened the cabinet, and pulled out a house elf.
I held him up by his clothes.
"Dobby.... you're a lot scarier than I remember." I said holding him at arms length.
"Put me down, you filthy mudblood!" The thing spat at me.
"That's not Dobby, that's Kreacher." Harry took the elf from me.
"It was the Black's house elf." Hermione chimed in.
"You've been spying on us, have you?" I asked him.
"Kreacher has been watching." The house elf said.
"Maybe he knows where the real locket is." Hermione mentioned.
Harry reached into his pocket, and pulled out the locket.
"Have you ever seen this before? Kreacher?" Harry dangled the locket in front of Kreacher's face.
"Mhmmm..." Kreacher paused for a moment, "it's master Regulus's locket."
"There's two of them, isn't there? Where's the other one?"
"Kreacher doesn't know where the other one is." The house elf groaned.
"It was in this house, wasn't it?" I asked Kreacher.
"Filthy mudblood!" Kreacher screamed at me.
"Why you little-" I reached out for the house elf, but Ron pulled me back.
Harry glared at Kreacher.
"Yes, a most evil object." Kreacher replied.
"How do you mean?" Harry asked him.
"Before master Regulus died, he ordered me to destroy it.... no matter how hard Kreacher tried, it wouldn't break." Kreacher let his head drop down a little as he talked.
"Did someone take it?" Hermione asked the house elf.
"Someone came last night, didn't they? They took the locket?" Harry said.
"Yes, and other things."
"Who?"
"Mudungus Fletcher." Kreacher spat.
Harry let Kreacher down.
He dusted himself off as he stood there.
"Find him." Harry ordered Kreacher.
Kreacher snapped his fingers, and disappeared.

"He's a little rat, that one." I spat as I walked back over to where we were laying.
"A vile little thing." Hermione joined in.
"Don't take it personally." Harry reassured us.
"Tell the little weasel not to make it personal then." I laid down on the floor.
...
We had been awakened by Kreacher, and Dobby lugging in Mudungus Fletcher.
Mudungus had admitted that he had given the locket to the one and only... Umbridge.
With a little bit of polyjuice potion, we were able to retrieve the locket... it was a lot harder than I sounds.
Hermione had to flash us out of there.
In the mix of flashing us out, Ron got spliced.
Luckily, Hermione had a few tricks in her bag.
She was able to heal Ron's arm, some what, and she even had a tent.
We charmed the area in the woods we were in, anyone outside of the small area couldn't see us.
...
In the early hours of the morning, I was woken up suddenly.
I felt something rub my lower leg.
I opened my eyes slowly.
A shadow sat at the foot of my bed.
I slowly pushed myself up into a sitting position.
As my eyes adjusted to the darkness of the tent, I could barely make out a face.
The face of Draco Malfoy.
"Ahhh!" I screamed, closing my eyes tightly.
Everyone woke up in a panic.
Ron lit up the room.
"What's wrong?!" Hermione yelled.
I opened my eyes slowly.
Draco was gone.
"He- he was there!" I yelled between my heavy breaths.
My heart felt like it was going to explode.
My skin was boiling hot.
"You look like you've seen a ghost." Harry looked over at me.
I could feel the color was drained from my face.

"Who, and where?" Hermione asked me seriously.
"Draco, at the end of my bed." I pointed to the food of my bed.
"No one's there." Hermione gave me a confused look.
"Hermione, I swear he was there. I saw him sitting by my feet." I replied as I caught my breath.
"Are you sure it wasn't a dream?" Ron asked me sarcastically.
"Shut up, Ronald!" Hermione yelled at him.
"He touched my leg." I bit my finger nails.
Harry got up from his bed. He walked over to mine, and sat next to me.
"He can't get us, no one can. We charmed the place. No one can get in. " Harry spoke quietly.
A concerned look spread across Hermione's face, as I looked up at her.
She knows I'm not lying.
She knows I saw something.
Ron looked at me annoyed, as he flopped back down in his bed.
"I need some fresh air." I huffed.
I grabbed my wand, and a cigarette.
I walked out of the tent, and sat by a tree inside the perimeter of the charms.
I lit my cigarette and took long drags from it.
The night air was cold, it felt good.
Hermione quietly walked out of the tent, and sat next to me.
"I know what I saw Hermione, I know what I felt." I looked at the ground as I talked.
"I know...." She whispered, "I just don't know how he would have gotten in."
"I don't know, but we've gotta move spots. He knows where we are. Who knows if he would tell... you know who." I replied.
"We will move in the morning, by foot." Hermione smiled.
"They think I'm crazy, don't they." I forced a laugh.
"We're all crazy." Hermione nudged me with her elbow.
"I just down understand why he would come here, Hermione. He knows it's not safe. Draco knows I don't want to see him." I quickly finished my cigarette.
"It's not the fact that you don't want to see him, it's the fact that you know you shouldn't, there's a difference." Hermione words stabbed at my chest, and made my throat tight.
"Either way, it's not easy." I shook my head.

System Change
Years ago, Earth was indoctrinated into the "System." Earth was not the only place with the System, however. With the System came the other races, Invaders. The Invaders had one goal, to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. This created a bloodbath, and for years the war raged. This didn't really have much to do with Derek. Derek was kind of a loner. Yeah, he enjoyed the occasional chat or drink with others, but he never stayed in one place too long or really got to know anybody new. Derek did happen to be rather strong. After the years of fighting monster and Invaders alone, he had become quite adept at surviving. One thing that helped keep him alive was his refusal to get involved with others. He rarely cooperated with teams. One day, Derek broke his rules and decided to lend some help, as the mission didn't seem too hard. He should have stuck to being alone. Hey everyone, this is my fiction, "System Change." It's the first time I've really tried to write a serial. All feedback is really appreciated. I plan to release chapters every Tuesday and Thursday. With occasional extra chapters being released. I will try to maintain a word count between 1500-2500 words per chapter. Thank you! I just made a Discord if anyone wants to join.

Earth Ascension - Fantasy Adventure LitRPG
It’s a normal day on Earth when a powerful being triggers the assimilation of Earth and all living beings into the Ascended Universe, a frightening wall of light envelops the planet in order to drag it into a higher plane of reality. A place where abundant mana allows powerful magic and monsters to reside. The protagonist Dante wakes up in a dark cave with vague memories of his past life. He is confronted by a crazy, enigmatic and powerful being who sees Dante as his chance to escape his prison. Tasked with a grand trial, Dante is dropped on a planet he no longer recognises and starts his perilous journey through the Ascended universe. In this universe resides an omnipotent system that quantifies everyone's existence into numbers, it also assists people in becoming more powerful. Join the main protagonist as he is pitted against powerful monsters, Angelic beings, Demons and much more. He makes friends and loyal companions along the way, unfortunately, he also attracts the attention of powerful galaxy-spanning organisations that want to use his power for their own nefarious purposes. Forewarning regarding the start of the story. This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. The first few chapters of the book focus mostly on characters experiences and state of mind. The protagonist doesn't start off as a hero, he's distressed, confused, scared and struggling for survival. LitRPG elements are sprinkled throughout these chapters but aren't initially at the forefront of the story. If you're willing to persevere, the LitRPG elements and significant progression become more heavily intertwined with the story as they become more relevant. Thank you. *** What to expect *** This is a Fantasy Adventure LitRPG. There’s gore, swearing, bad jokes and lots of struggling. (I like to make the character earn his power.)Book 1: Covers the characters' experiences in becoming accustomed to this new reality. There are chapters that focus on survival and hardship. He starts with literally nothing, gradually he accumulates incredible power. He achieves his power through completing various trials and encounters in his journey to find out who he is, and what he wants in this world. There’s a focus on the mental state of the protagonist and an alternating pace of writing to allow character development to occur. The planned second book will kick off at a much faster pace with more action, focus on the system, and delving into the purposes of the Grand trial assigned to the main protagonist.I aim to deliver a world with Interesting characters, Monsters, Magic, Epic battles, Levelling, System interaction, Skill creation, Trials (Quests), Dungeons, Training and more. *** Release ****Chapters will be around 2000-3000+ words long, averaging 2.5k. I’ve almost finished the first book and am trying to edit and polish the chapters that are being released.I aim to release 3-5 chapters a week.Please enjoy.
