It was that time again where I had no idea what to wear. I needed to impress Tom's family. Once again, I turned out my wardrobe and tried to find something causal but nice. Finally I found something.
20 minutes later, there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it!" Mum shouted. I grabbed my phone and the bottle of wine and went down stairs. "Wow, you look stunning!" Tom smiled. "Thank you! You don't look too bad yourself" I smiled back. "Y/N, you don't need to bring anything" Tom laughed. "Well I can't turn up at your house without anything. That's rude Thomas" I laughed. "Enough with the full name" he laughed. "Shall we get going?" Tom said. "Yeah!" I said turning to Mum and giving her a hug. "Have fun! And be polite" Mum said. "Will do! Love you" I shouted walking out the door.
"I'm so nervous Tom, what if the rest of your family don't like me? What if they instantly dislike me?" I said babbling as we pulled up outside his house. "Y/N, Y/N, they will. They won't stop asking about you. It will be fine" Tom said holding my hand. He lent in and kissed my softly. Suddenly they was a knock on the car window. We both jumped. "PADDY! I SWEAR TO GOD YOU NEED TO STOP IT!" Tom shouted getting out the car. "NEVER!" the boy shouted and ran inside. "I'm guessing Paddy is your younger brother?" I said laughing getting out the car. "Yeah. He keeps scaring me. It says it's fun" Tom says. "Well I think it is" I say. "Don't you start" Tom says taking my hand.
We walk inside and Nikki greets me with a warm hug. "Hello lovely! It's so nice of you to come!" "Thank you for inviting me" I say. "Ah, you must be the famous Y/N. I'm Dom. Tom's Dad" "Nice to meet you" I say holding my hand out for him to shake but he pulls me into a hug. "And I'm Tom's favourite brother Paddy" "Nice to meet you Paddy. And keep scaring Tom, it's fun to watch!" I say. "Ha! Finally someone who agrees with me" Paddy says hugging Tom. "It's a good job I love you Padster" Tom hugs him back. "Y/N. How are you?" Harry says walking out the kitchen giving me a hug. "I'm good thank you, how about you?" I say. "I'm very well, just got off FaceTime to my twin" he says. "Sam right?" I say. "Yeah! He's in France skiing at the moment" he says. "Bet he's loving it" I say. "He is!" Everyone says in unison. "Anyway! Let's not just stand here! Tea's ready! Let's eat!" Nikki says!

"This is lovely Nikki thank you" I say while devouring my pasta. "Well we felt bad because you couldn't celebrate your 19th birthday" Nikki says. "Aww thank you much! It means a lot" I say. "We couldn't not celebrate Y/N!" Tom says squeezing my hand under the table. "Mum, can I give Y/N her present now?" Paddy says. "You don't have to give me anything" I say shocked. "Tuff because we have" Dom says. "Plus, we have more planned than just dinner and presents" Tom smiles.

Spell Bound
“It wouldn’t be a lie to say that many of us want to change our lives for one reason or another. Power, money, lust, love, acceptance… loneliness. Empty endless screaming loneliness; that was my reason. Loneliness that just didn’t go away no matter what I did or how hard I tried. Maybe some of you can imagine how I felt, perhaps even felt it yourself or still do. It is a terrible feeling isn’t it? It can be maddening beyond belief. I remember sitting on the floor in the corner of my room staring at the endless white walls hating myself. The loneliness had gotten so bad I would just sit there and cry. I felt so alone, so isolated, so inadequate. Would you run away from it all if this was your life? Would you try to change things? What my dear reader would you do? This is the story of how I ran, how I lived, how I tried to change things and how I finally died. Dear reader this book is the story of my life and those around me. The knowledge I’ve gained, the wisdom I have acquired, my triumphs, my failures, those I loved and those I hated. This book is all that I am and hoped to be. It is yours now, may it serve you well and guide you to a happier future than mine.” Excerpt taken from the journal of Kaden Vos also known as, “The Butcher of Rakan” -- I have been a long time reader and have always wanted to create something myself. I hope you all find this world I am creating fun and enjoyable. As I am new to this, any advice or feedback you have will be greatly appreciated and I will do my best to improve. My goal is a chapter a week, but sometimes it can be a bit tough with work and taking care of the family. Thank you all for reading. -- PS: I take no credit for the new cover, you are an amazing artist whoever you are. I am only using it for a temp cover till I can make something myself.

Vritra [A Dragon Evolution LitRPG]
A death of holding no memory of the previous life into the new. An error in the system led to the birth that changed from the desired chosen reincarnation. Mixed of a spider and a dragon, born from the womb of a mother who'd immediately abandon their children. What life awaits the Spider Dragon as they level up into different stages and live in a new world of Sorcery and Sword, and now Monsters?! Trying out a LitRPG, this time more focused on building up the character and their power. Considering my initial failed attempt on a former series on a different site. Will be my main focus in releasing chapters more than once per week. The other fictions will release once or less a week considering they are shorter based stories as this one is intended for more content than a short and brief few novels. Thank you readers for checking out Vritra. Please give feedback on ways that I can grow my form of writing to fit in your engagement and understanding. Trying to get better and soon will have more time to type down words compared to these past weeks. Inspired by: Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka?, Salvos, Danmachi, Sword Art Online, Mushoku Tensei, and a few select others CoverArt by Asviloka https://www.royalroad.com/profile/108594 *CoverArt is a depiction of how Vritra envisions himself one day*
