Bonus Chapter: Mads' 20th birthday.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Mads, Happy birthday to you!" The moment the crowd finished singing, Mads blew out all twenty rainbow candles on her colourful birthday cake.
"Thank you all for coming. This is one of my best birthday parties", the brunette giggled happily as she drunk her wine which Tomi brought along to Mac Donalds. "You look cute as ever. It is almost as you had never aged a day pass sixteen since we last met", said Jake. "Where is your new boyfriend tonight?"
"He has gone travelling elsewhere". Clearly looking disappointed at the absence of her boyfriend which was quickly replaced by a cutesy smile.
"What about Eagle?" Tomi asked. "Shouldn't you invite your housemate along?"
"He is unable to come around?"
"Why not? I thought you both have already grown close?" Bart mocked. "Oh wait, I know, he is probably too scared to see us after what we did to him in high school".
Clearly annoyed by Bart's comment, she shot back actually defending Eagle, "He is working hard today and he can't make it but we will be meeting up later after this party".
"He is clearly missing out fun time. We are going to the largest night club in Earthos. He should have come along that would have increased his confidence even more", Edward who had just joined the conversation interjected. "It was exactly the same scenario last year when Eagle was absent for your 19th party too and I am surprise you count him as a friend".
"Well, I treated him like he didn't exist on my 15th party and did not turn up on my 16th. Therefore, I can't blame Eagle if he does not want to turn up. We have not been the best to him during his high school years and I feel bad about it". The brunette finished her wine before leaving with her friends to get to the night clubs. Upon reaching the nightclub, having booked places in advance, Mads began dancing to the music which was playing loudly as soon as she step on the dance floor. Everybody else began head banging. A few other boys tried to get with Mads only to be chased off by Jake and gang.

Most of the girls were able to dance to the music, some of the guys were attempting to dance but doing a poor job, and there was a couple bumping and grinding on the dance floor.
Time passed and everybody got drunked. Tomi and Mads excused themselves and home together by taxi. The blonde who was already intoxicated and more so than brunette was feel down asleep in her friends room as soon as she followed the latter into Sarah's house.
Mad's went out to get water to drink only to see Eagle sleeping in the living room at the back of the house with a giant pink teddy bear. Giggling while watching him snore, she got herself a cup of water before drinking half of it and splashing the rest on the half Asian young man waking him up. "What are you doing with this pink teddy bear?"
"Oh hi Mads..............."Eagle said sleepily, I bought it for you. Happy 20th birthday". Eagle looked into her ocean blue eyes as she looked back into his green ones.
"I bought it for your birthday?
"Thank you, Eagle". Mads gave him a hug before lying down on his lap while cuddling the giant teddy bear. "I love you Mr Snuggles!"
"You must be thinking of me the whole day weren't you? Why didn't you come to my party you bad boy!" Still lying on Eagle's lap, she jabbed his chest with her left index finger.
"I am sorry. I was busy".
"You have not been playing hide and seek, have you?"
"What?!"
"Calm down, I was just messing with you! Do you love me?" Flirting with Eagle, while looking at him with these cute ocean blue puppy dog eyes. Mads was still lying on his lap.
"I...................."
"I already have a boyfriend but I love you. Since, Tomi is asleep in my room and too drunk to join us. I will spend the night with you in the living room". She giggled before falling asleep on his lap.

Overpowered Sadistic Cat
Teddy IV was a cat. Not just any cat, he was a very spoiled cat. At least until one day he was chased by a few crazy people. They tried to capture him but he escaped but unluckily as he was escaping his tail was ran over by a truck. This caused the spoiled cat to hate humans, and as he died by bleeding to death due to his tail being crushed he wished for the power to crush them... "I-is this the truck I saw my owner reading about in a manga?!" And magically his wish was fulfilled. The celestial white tiger guardian made him reincarnate into a magic world with overpowered powers. How will this cat do in this absurd fantasy world?
8 227Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
