《Counterattack》Carter's Grand Arrival
Advertisement
"AUGGYYYYYY,"
I stop halfway from eating my sandwich and see a boy with blonde hair running toward our table with his arms wide open. August audibly sighs and puts his head down. Ace, Adora and I watch him with amusement.
We are in a small diner, eating. The four of us, just like before.
"Augy, I missed you," The boy whines, pulling Blue into a hug.
"Carter, I am not your freaking babysitter," A familiar voice echoes, and I find Cameron walking towards us with two duffel bags. She reaches our table and sits down, huffing.
"Get off me, idiot," August glares, pushing Carter away.
"Alex," Cameron greets me once she sees me. I get up and pull her into a hug.
"I missed you," I mumble.
"The great Alex missed me. I am getting emotional," She sniffles, wiping a fake tear, and I roll my eyes.
"Where did you disappear to for so long?" I question, narrowing my eyes at her.
"I was at this idiot's house. His elder sister, my cousin, got married," She answers, looking so done with Carter.
"You are cousins?" I ask, unsure, looking at Carter sticking to Blue like a kitten.
"Unfortunately," She sighs.
"Carter, move away before I kill you," August threatens.
"BUT I missed you," Carter whines, hugging him close. Blue gives up and bangs his head on the table.
Ace takes out his phone and starts recording the scene. Carter puts his arms around Augusts's shoulder and rubs his face against August's left shoulder, just like a kitten.
"So, what did I miss?" Cameron asks, pointing her eyes towards Blue.
"A lot," I smile. Cameron knows I will tell her later, so she sits beside Carter.
"So, Mr Kitten,-" I start, getting Carter's attention, "Care to introduce yourself?"

"How terrible of me? How did I not notice such a beauty sitting near me?"
Carter stands up and approaches me. He is cute with messy blonde hair, dark blue eyes, and a sharp jawline. He also has freckles covering his nose and cheeks.
Ah, a flirt. How wrong was I in judging?
"Hi Alexis," He smirks, suddenly lifting and twirling me around. I let out a shriek of surprise, and we both laugh as he twirls me around.
"Put her down, Carter," Blue says, his voice cold.
Carter stops spinning and looks at me with wide eyes, and I am sure my expression matches his because I have never heard Blue's voice so cold before.
Carter slowly lands me on my feet and sits beside August like a good kitten, but not before flashing me a smile.
"August, you know I have a girlfriend back home, and Alexis is like a sister to me. You know I will never betray you," Carter fake sniffles.
Betray? I look at Cameron, and she shrugs.
"Sister?" I ask.
"Yep, you are like my little sister. August has told me so much about you, and I came to like your character. I know we can hit it off," He smiles.
I look at him, confused. 'I love pranking August,' He mouths, and I smirk.
"Yeah, we will hit it off," I grin, and August looks at me.
"You met him five seconds ago," August states.
"You," August starts.
"Me?" Carter questions, innocently pointing at himself.
"Stay away from her. Your combo is a bad one, a very, very bad one," August shivers.
"Carter, this is Alex, Ace, and Adora, and they are twins,"
"Hi, nice to meet you," Ace says, going for a handshake, but Carter pulls Ace into a hug.

"Thanks for hitting some sense into him,"
"You're welcome?" Ace questions, pulling away.
'He is very... friendly?" Blue says, not knowing how to describe Carter's character.
"Basically, what August is trying to say is that Carter does not know what personal space is, and he is too friendly," Cameron finishes. August gives her a thankful smile, and Adora nods her head sympathetically, letting Blue know that she understands him.
"Hey, I am a one in a million," Carter huffs.
"That you are," Adora giggles.
"Oh, Another beautiful lady," Carter says, standing up.
"Don't even think about it," Ace says sweetly, with a death glare.
Carter abruptly sits down, and we all laugh.
"So, Alexis, how is your training coming along?"
"It is good?" I look at Blue, and he nods his head.
"Do you fight?"
"Nope, I am too much of a sweet person to fight," Carter grins, hugging August. August pries Carter away from him and gets up, taking a seat between Ace and me.
I get up, motioning Carter to take my place. Carter gives me a grin, and Blue gives me a death glare. I wink at him and sit beside Cameron.
"This is what I meant by a bad combo," August states, glaring at me while trying to keep Carter from sitting near him.
"So, how long will you be here?" I question Carter, taking a bite of Ace's burger. Ace glares at me and takes it back. People are glaring at me too much today. I try to soften Ace's wrinkled forehead, and he snaps my hands away, annoyed.
"Two weeks,"
Blue chokes on his burger, and Carter grins while hitting Blue's back.
"You said two days," Cameron gasps.
"Plans change," Carter smirks, and I grin. It is going to be amazing two weeks.
"Heck no," Both Ace and August yell.
"Both Alex and Carter have evil smirks on their face," Ace shivers.
"If anyone asks where I am, I died," Blue says.
"You guys are overreacting," Carter and I say simultaneously. We look at each other and chuckle.
"NO. I want to live for at least forty more years. I want to get married, have kids, and live a happy life," August says, frightened.
"We are not that bad," I defend.
This time all four of them look at us, giving a deadpan look.
"Hey," I gasp, mocking hurt.
"Reasons why I fear my life. Number 1, you both love pranking and especially pranking me," I open my mouth to defend myself, but August puts his hands over my mouth, stopping me.
"Number 2, you are both crazy. You both love to annoy me, and you will go as far as to ship me in a box to the Amazon," Blue states in horror.
"I love you too much to do that," Carter and I say simultaneously, and we fist bump each other, chuckling.
"Oh no, you love pranks more than me," He says, shaking his head.
"Auggy, I am going to have an amazing two weeks with my dear Alexis here," Carter smirks, pulling me into a side hug.
I have never seen someone more scared for their life than Blue is right now.

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
