《The Software Detective》1.11 Guess it's not their specialty

When I finally reached the café, I saw Syd walking from the opposite direction. "Are you ready to have your mind blown away with a cinnamon roll so delicious Mother Nature couldn't stop herself from eating the rolls so she made it harder to harvest so she can stick to her diet? That's why we harvest cinnamon in the heavy rain." I said, opening the door for her to walk in.
"I doubt that's the reason for why we harvest cinnamon after heavy rain." she laughed, walking in.
Before we made it to the front counter to see if magical rolls were here, we noticed one of our other friends was sitting at a table studying. "Hey there Rob, are you studying for tomorrow's physics exam?" I said as we walked towards him.
Lifting his head out of the open textbook, "Oh! hey guys, wait, are you studying here too?" he said.
"Eventually, but right now, we're here to get Tom's cinnamon roll," Syd said.
"Well, I don't know if it's here. Someone told me it might be here, so I'm going to check if he's a reliable source." I said.
"Oh, I'm here often. Describe me the doughnut and I can let you know if they have it here," Rob said, leaning back in his chair.
I could feel the drool beginning to creep out of my mouth. "It is divine, truly the perfect circular pastry. When you bite in the flakey bun, your taste buds explode with the overwhelming mixture of cinnamon and peanut butter. Some people simply call it a Cinnamon roll with peanut butter on top, but I call it, heaven's gift to humanity." I said, wiping the drool off my mouth again.
"They definitely don't have that here. I love this place for their coffee, but the food is awful. They somehow messed up a plain bagel. Maybe you should try Penultimate Café. They have tons of good food." Rob took a sip of his coffee and continued. "By the way, do you guys know any good thrift shops around here? I need to buy a new couch."

"Oh yeah, I know a great place that's not too far from here. Me and Rob will go get the couch. And Tom, you can get us some cinnamon rolls. After that we can all study for the exam." Syd said.
"I think you just want two people to help you study Syd." Rob laughed, packing his things and pushing in his chair.
"You're right. Two teachers are better than one." Syd said, smiling from ear to ear.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.

When Earth Sneezed A Dungeon (A LitRPG)
No one knows why but there was once a time when Earth made such a loud sneeze that millions went deaf, and a dungeon popped up out of nowhere. It was filled with monsters, riches, and death. A hundred years later a person known as Terax stood beside the bed of his dying father. He gave Terax a golden pendant and told him that, "You must head for the dungeon, because..." And with that, his father passed away before telling him the reason. That pissed Terax off, so he headed to the dungeon to find out what his father wanted to tell him.
