Asclepius Pov:
“Oh no, I know what that witch is thinking” I say aloud while peeping into the mind of Ms. Busty. “Who knows if George swings both ways!” I shout to my sisters who are all still in their magic cloaks. “I can only think of one way to make it so that the w**** doesn’t get to George! We have to talk to him” I shiver “I know you’re listening…. Author!”
‘You caught me’ the Author says in my mind.
“I need your help” I say begrudgingly.
‘well duh’ he replies ‘you know the cost of a favor’
“Yes I do” I reply fearfully. “I need you to help George out so the b**** can’t get her crummy hands on him!”
‘Ok easy, just give me five minutes’

George’s Pov:
‘Mr. Busty is a very strange person indeed’ I think to myself…. when all of the sudden a boy my age appears next to me. His red hair goes up and to the right, like my favorite actor from The Book of Mormon. His smile shines like the mormons as they sing ‘Hello’. He seems like fun.
“Hey George, come play with me!” The child says in a cheerful tone fitting his childish aura.
“But I’m training!” I say “Can’t we play later”
“Go ahead George, I never wanted to train you anyway” Mr. Busty said with a strange voice.
“You heard the lady, lets go!” The boy says excitedly running off to the dessert volcano.
“Well if you say so Mr. Busty.” I say before running after the boy.
When I catch up to the boy he says to Balley “Hey Balley, can you come here for a second?” he says and Balley happily jumps onto his shoulder. He turns around for a second and when he turns back, he has Balley and a Balley colored glove. “Here George, for you.” He says happily handing me the glove. “This is a fun toy for you to play with, now you don’t really have to train, just play!” He says enthusiastically.

“Huh” is all I can reply.
“Oh yeah, this glove responds to your imagination and will. Just imagine what you want to happen and the glove will make it happen, kind of like the elementals' bending, but you can use this for so many more things! Although I did limit some functions, set a range of 5 meters, and limit how much stuff you can do a day, but as you get stronger and more familiar, the functions will unlock themselves and Balley will know, since he made the glove. There are some other things you should probably know, but I’m lazy and don’t feel like telling you. But one thing you should know is that the glove can allow you to read information about stuff but only once a week. I need to go now, but stay cute and innocent!” The boy rambles before disappearing as fast as he appeared.
“Huh” I say to Balley as I walk back to Mr. Busty.

Asclepius Pov:
I watched the whole scene and was pleased.
‘Ok I’m done, you know the rules’ the Author says in my mind.
“Yes Master…….” I mumble quietly.
‘What was that!’ the Author shouts in my mind. ‘And where is your maid uniform’
“Yes Master” I say as sweetly as possible making a maid uniform appear.
‘Thank you Asclepius I’ll take some tea please.’ He says into my mind as the boy from before appeared in front of me.
“Yes Master” I attempt to say sweetly but you can’t miss the malice in my voice.
Unknown to Asclepius the Author thinks to himself ‘Man I can't believe it, I appeased my masters the ******* and got a maid for a year. Now that's what I call a win win.
__________________________________________________________________________
Yay I got to make an appearance in the story for once! I am pissed off after the tony awards last night! But anyway.... A plot has been made! It's going to start in chapter 21, next chapter is George learning how to use his new toy. Sorry for not writing the author's personality parts of the story anymore, but they really are just impulsive things that I did because I had time. Also I think this is one of my longest chapters! Also should I make a discussion thread/place to ask questions about the story???

Child of the Ancients: An Apocalypse LitRPG
It all started in the middle of Dante's nap. He wanted to sleep his life away, but the system denied his request. Instead, it began to transform the Earth, integrating it into the multiverse by granting everyone stats and skills. He was talented, or so the system thought. And that meant he needed to be challenged. After being sent into a deadly cavern, Dante strives for the future he's always desired. But when he learns about the secrets hidden within him, he's shaken to his very core. He wishes for the nightmare to end until something goes wrong. [The world will end in one year.] Instead of everyone receiving a relatively gentle tutorial, the people of Earth are deemed redundant. Dante makes it his goal to save as many people as he can before the world ends, but with billions of lives at stake, he might have to turn into a monster before he can become a hero. Planned updates (2500+ words): M/W/F. 12pm AEST/ 9am EST. M-F during Writeathon. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: All system apocalypse novels seem to jump straight over the apocalypse itself, which I find very sad. I don't want this to turn into a typical fantasy novel in about ten chapters. Instead, I hope to explore the destruction of society and how things would look if superpowers suddenly appeared in the real world. Before the real apocalypse happens, of course. There will be base building, and likely romance once things settle down. Also dragons, because they are awesome :)

And when they finally realized their tremendous mistakes, they can no longer undo their mistakes, no matter how much they tried, as they slowly fell into the crude gears of destiny. Except, when all hope had been extinguished and all possible solutions were swept away by the hands of darkness… ...An unknown black-haired magician bestowed another chance to this realm overwhelmed by the darkness, by turning back the hands of time. After time rewinded, opportunities revealed themselves now within arm's reach… The next step needed to save the realm was someone to take ahold of those opportunities. But…none remembered even a sliver of the bleak future, mildly drawing near to them like a spider closing in a helpless prey. Will they be able to change the bleak future? Or will history repeat itself again, as if destiny itself is taking charge? Based on the MMORPG The Exiled Realm of Arborea, Valley of Titans Server (TERA).

The Saga of Armageddon: The Call of Crows
Bjorn Stormtamer's world has been turned upside down in more ways than one. His shipmates have left him for dead on an island for quarantining victims of a disease that he now has. His partner in battle despises him, his family thinks he's dead and everyone else thinks it was good riddance. Moreover, the world is under attack by a virulent plague that kills with light and an empire from the east whose intentions are unknown but whose methods are merciless and bloodthirsty. Little does he know that the world itself is nearly on the brink of cosmic collapse.But when a bold, charismatic woman from another nation seeks him out, Bjorn discovers that the plague he has was not a plague at all, but a trial. A trial to determine who is worthy to wield the power of gods in order to give humanity a fighting chance against the winds of fate. This novel was written 2 years ago and isn't exactly my best work. I'm still improving my skills, but I encourage you to enjoy it for what it's worth. ALSO, the whole plague thing was written about before the COVID pandemic. The plague is fake and actually magic in the story, but that has NOTHING to do with real world events. I am under NO CIRCUMSTANCE trying to make ANY kind of statement with it. Please just enjoy the story and stay safe.
