"Ooooow, that hurt you know!, You should at least make your reunion worthwhile Kumi"
I'm pretty sure animated smoke was hissing out of my head at this moment, Kumi really deals a fatal dropkick but on a more serious note, she could've at least had an actual conversation with Leoth before she dumped him into the LUCID POD.
Her earlier rage face was replaced with a look of pure worry, she did a conplete 180 in a split-second, her usual straight hair looked like it was bedridden for months, I guess she didn't pull any stops on that promise not even a break.
She's been like this since we were kids, I was still bestfriends with Leoth back then, we did everything together and every childish crap that earned us scars and bruises were still considered worthwhile.
Leoth's been whining about how I get so many fangirls in school yearly and why isn't he getting any, what he doesn't know is that he's had secret admirers for every school, some of his kouhais he helped out somehow developed feelings for him, especially Kumi.
she first met him, when their dads decided to have a reunion with a little goal motives for their offsprings, Leoth's dad and sir Araki, went to catch up in the mancave while I for one was just visiting my bestfriend for some fun.
I could overhear sir Araki whispering to Kumi back then to make good friends, before he went along with his reunion, she had a very bad impression on me at the very beginning.
She had this scary glare, and stone-like expression adapted from Moyai, her outfit was an all-dark gothic lolita kinda look, you'd see from some anime and she always had this weird pimped-out doll with blings
The first thing I could say about her was

"... She's scary" I tried to whisper to Leoth,
Alas, she heard me, digust and all, at first she kinda teared-up a little then clenched her fist.
She made this stance where her left foot was behind the other, her arms were spead diagonally even, her left foot then took a solid step.
My entire body shuddered as it knew this might not end well, with her left foot in place , she quickly rocketed off the concrete and the air spiraled around her, her body pivoted in a split-second which landed a spinning back-kick on my forehead, causing me to fly back a few meters
I was nearly blacking out when I heard Leoth compliment on her awesome blow to my pride, he also mentioned she was the first to reject a peacock prince like me.
"Hey, what's your name by the way?"
Leoth asked shyly as I was still sprawled on the floor, Kumi fidgeted a little before answering.
"Oh-Ummm, My name's Kumi, E-etto, will you be my first friend?"
I could hear his shocked gasp, well that makes both of us, his feet shuffled alon thw floor kinda loudly.
"S-sure. I'm Leoth by the way, Would you like to see my Poster collection?"
Ooooh, the poster collection, huh?, so ot means he had that kind of thing.
And here I am lying on the floor miserably, because of a martial artist gothic lolita.
This doesn't feel or sound healthy, well at least for me, but I can't let my bestfriend down.
I'm gonna have to suck it up so, please dear lord harden my heart for the suffering that is yet to come, I your name I won't read low class smut novels ever again,
Amen.

If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."

8 241The Ruins of Magincia
They say all things end in time, but the exalted City of Magi would’ve begged to differ. Yet when an attempted coup goes wrong, the city finds itself brought to the very brink of destruction. In the wake of the calamity that left no survivors, the autonomous infrastructure still operating the ruined city seeks to restore what was lost. Luckily for it, the Mana-devoid Universe it awoke in holds an unexpected surprise: a planet full of sentient life forms. All capable—with a little help—to become the next generation of Magi. Back on Earth, Millie McArthur is a pregnant out-of-work mechanic struggling with the prospect of moving back in with her parents after leaving her unfaithful fiancé. That is until she finds herself just one of the hundreds that have been shanghaied by the callous artificial constructs still manning the ruins of Magincia. Now, she must struggle to learn magic, compete for resources, get good 'grades,' and fulfill the seemingly arbitrary requirements for her future job in this broken city. All while keeping herself, and her son, alive. Is the miracle of magic really enough to make up for all the pain? The Ruins of Magincia is a dark fantasy that's heavy on the drama (LitRPG aspects are very light). Chapter lengths can be anywhere from 7k-12k and there's no current release schedule as I'm focusing on wrapping up volume one.
