《Golden Serenity》3

Maaga ako sa school hindi kami nag kasabay sabay na apat dahi na late sila ng gising. Ako naman napaaga or should I say kulang ng tulog.
Nandito lang ako sa may terrace part ng Aguinaldo Half sa engineering campus. Tinitignan lang ang mga studyante na pumapasok. May iilan nag smile pero diko magawang ngitian dahil kulang ako sa tulog at wala akong gana.
Dumating narin ang iiba kong kaklase pero diko parin sila kinakausap dahil di naman ako ganun ka friendly. At wala naman akong dapat sabihin sa kanila. Dumating na rin si Celeste after 10 minutes at mukhang kulang din ang tulog.
Si Ze naman ay nakahabol pa before kami pumasok kaya di siya late. Buti na lang dahil first meeting sa prof na'to.
"Bakit ba late ka? Anong nangyari at na late ka ng gising?" Pabulong na tanong ko kay Ze dahil baka mapagalitan kami.
"Ginabi ako kagabi, di ako nagising sa una kong alarm." Ano naman kayang ginawa nito.
"Okay good morning." Bati ng prof namin na lalaking nasa mid 30-40s. "Get one sheet of short bond paper." What?! Ano to quiz agad?
"I want you to write why you took this course, and what are your plans to achieve that." Kala ko quiz agad, nacuculture shock parin ako sa college.
Sumulat na ako sa papel, easy lang sakin to. Yung dad ko kasi itang Civil Engineer din, si Mama Architect. May sarili kaming company pero hindi ko yun pinagmamalaki. Gusto kong tulungan sila, and mula bata pako gusto kona talagang maging engineer dahil nahiligan ko ang pag guhit ng mga bahay.
Dapat nga daw ang kunin ko ay architecture, pero hindi ko na hilig pa ang mag guhit ng habang buhay. Mas gusto ko yung mag tayo at medyo may pag guhit din.
"Okay pass your papers infront." Buti na lang simple lang akin. "Once I call you please come in front and introduce yourself and I will ask a question, and the class will ask you a question." Scary naman prof, pero sige ikaw masusunod e.
"Olivarez, come in front." Sa lahat ng pwedeng mauna bakit ako pa.
"Good morning, I'm Margaux Aurelie S. Olivarez. 19 years old." Simpleng pagpapakilala ko. Tumingin naman si prof sa sinulat ko.
"It says here Ms. Olivarez that you always wanted to be an engineer ever since." Diko alam kung chinachallenge niya ba ako or what.

"Yes sir, it's because of my parents." totoo naman yun. "Okay now what are your plans to achieve your dream?" Ready akong sagutin yan.
"I'll never look down on myself, or give up. And I won't let anyone hinder me from what I want." napatango na lang si sir.
"Okay nice answer. Now anyone ask Ms. Aurelie one or two question." Agad namang nag taas ng kamay yung isa kong kaklase.
"Anong meron sa inyo ni Chancellor? Kayo ba?" Again what's with him?!
"Ngayon ko pa lang siya nakikilala and no hindi kami." I don't know if I sounded annoyed but idk anymore.
"Is this Chancellor na sinasabi nila ay ang Chancellor of SC Ms. Olivarez?" Curious si sir oh. "Yes sir." Napa smirk na lang siya. "Okay Ms. Olivarez you make a seat." Finally gustong gusto kona umupo.
Tuloy tuloy lang ang pagpapakilala ng iba kong kaklase habang ako nakikinig lang minsan naka tulala or tingin sa desk ko. Wala akong gana makinig sa kanila.
Si Ze tinanong kung may girl friend ba siya, si Celeste tinanong kung anong type niya. Lovelife agad ang usapan kahit dipa kami magkakakilala.
"Okay that would be all, Good day." huli kaming lumabas. "Ms. Olivarez?" Pahabol ni prof. "Say hi to your dad for me." Okay it's a bit weird pero maybe kilala talaga niya si dad. Text kona lang si dad later.
Next subject namin sa main sa may SH minor lang Pur Com. Ibang style naman ng pagpapakilala ulit. Kailangan unique daw, anong gagawin ko mag tumbling bago mag pakilala?! Wala akong maipapakita na unique.
"Okay let's start." Nag simula doon sa harap nasa likod kami banda, kaya makaka pag isip pako kung papaano.
Ano kakanta ba ako? Wag na baka ma discover pako. Sasayaw? Kung gusto mong pag tawanan ka Au. Ma'am naman e bakit kasi kailangan unique pa.
Nauna si Ze kesa samin ni Celeste ngayon, ginawa niya ginuhit niya sarili niya sa white board ng hindi lini- lift yung marker. Magaling si Ze mag drawing mas magaling sakin.
Sunod si Celeste, kumanta si Celeste gamit yung tono ng 'The Show ni Lenka' ang galing niyang kumanta. Maganda ang boses ni Celeste and ang cute din ng pagpapakilala niya.
Ako na ang susunod, hindi ko alam kung pwede ang gagawin ko pero bahala na, try na lang.

"Good morning, I will let my friend introduce me. Since he knows me better than anyone. Let's welcome Zero." Na shock si Zero sa sinabi ko, pero wala siyang magawa kaya tumayo na.
"Good morning, she's Margaux Aurelie S. Olivarez, 19 she's turning 20 on December 31. Her eye color is brown, she's 1/4 french because of her mom. His parents own the Olivarez GOC." Ze sinama pa talaga yun. "Her favorite food is burger, favorite color are Rose Quartz and Serenity or white. She hates crowded people, she's afraid of small spaces. She's strong, independent, and a bit fierce. Yeah, that's Au don't call her Goldie tho." Diko alam kung maiinis ako kay Zero sa sinabi niya.
"Wow seems like you know her so well, Mr. Zero." Mapangasar din tong si ma'am. "Yes, we've been friends since 1st year highscool." Napatango na lang si ma'am.
"Thank you Ms. Au. I have one question for you." Ma'am gusto ko na pong umupo.
"What do you think of Mr. Paraiso?" Curious din tong prof na'to matagal ko na pong naririnig yan lalo na samin ni Ze.
"He's a great guy, I'm lucky to have him. That's all po." Yun lang ang umupo nako.
Madalas kaming pag kamalan ni Ze na kami, dati kasing nag ka gusto sakin si Ze pero alam naming dalawa na mas importante ang friendship namin. Kaya hindi kami nag decide na mag risk. Zero is a great guy but he's not for me.
The class went well. Lunch came and we ate sa labas naman this time dahil baka trip lang namin. We ate sa city walk sa may chowking, I've been craving Chow fan kasi pati rin si Celeste kaya nag kasundo kami na kumain narin doon.
"Au, we'll order. Look for a vacant table na lang." Celeste said and hinila na si Ze sa counter.
Medyo maraming tao pero may vacant seat sa may gilid kaya pumunta nako roon. Nilabas ko muna ang phone ko para ma check ang socmeds ko.
Oo nga pala, I accepted Chancellor's friend request kagabi. He messaged me thanks pero di nako nag reply. I was just checking my Instagram stories nang may makita akong story ng isa sa dati kong schoolmate.
Si Chancellor, nag bubuhat ng mga merienda ata. May caption pa ang schoolmate ko 'grabe naman po ang sipag ni pres.' I couldn't help but think of him.
Is he okay kahit na andami niyang inaasikaso. I heard he's in his last year already. You know nursing student + student body president, he really knows how to balance time.
Dumating na rin sina Ze and Celeste and we ate peacefully. Nag stay muna kami dito for a bit dahil ang sakayan ng shuttle ay nandito lang sa may tabi ng chowking ang next subject kasi naman ang last subject for today is sa Lucinda campus, 3 hours na lab.
Nag ikot ikot muna kami sa loob ng citywalk, pumasok ng watson dahil may binili ako saglit ang tumingin din si Celeste habang si Ze ay nag hihintay sa labas nakaupo sa mga upuan doon.
Nang mag 12:00 na nag decide na kami na umalis na dahil baka ma traffic kami. Medyo traffic pa naman sa SM.
So pumila na kami sa pilahan ng shuttle, medyo mahaba ang pila pero ok lang naman. Maiinit pero may pamaypay naman si Celeste kaya mas okay.
May pumila pa sa likod ko dahil ako ang nasa dulo. Nag cp lang ako hanggang sa maka rating kami sa may bayaran na. Nag bayad na kami at nag antay ng shuttle.
"Okay sige kayo na mga anak." Sabi ni manong saamin. Naunang sumakay si Ze kaya nasa may gilid lang siya, ako sa kabilang gilid dahil mas gusto ko dito. Tumabi sa kanya si Celeste.
Sumakay na yung iba pang mga studyante, pero nag hintay parin kami dahil kulang pa ng dalawa. Medyo natagal sa pag hihintay pero dumating din. Yung isa sa harap sumakay.
"Iha, pwedeng pa usog na lang madaming dala si Bossing President e. Para dina mahirapan." Sabi ni manong sakin, si Chance ba tinutukoy niya? Wait! Tinignan ko kung sino ang tinutukoy niya.
Si Chancellor suot ang all white uniform nila na may dalang box. He's all smiles kahit sobrang bigat ata ng dala niya.
Wala nakong nagawa kundi umusog. Naunang inakyat ni Chance yung box sunod siya. Magkadikit na magkadikit kami, diko magawang umusog pa dahil masikip na.
"Hello Aurelie, how are you today?"
Ikaw anong kwentong shuttle mo? Nakasabay mo naba si crush?
Love, Lara

8 1458Ancient Bones: The Changed Ones book 1 (Post-Post Apocalypse LitRPG)
Is it truly an RPG Apocalypse... if no one can see the RPG? Generations after the Fall, Mankind has achieved a balance in a world it is no longer the master of. But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell. It pays well if you avoid the perils of the Ancient world. But when they find the skeleton of an Ancient, their lives take a strange turn. Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules. Or are they merely following them? Because, in the Beyond where he's spent 150 years waiting, one dead Ancient knows the truth. Douglas Moore has played those games often enough when he was alive to make sense of the System that rules the Changed world. He can no longer act on his own, but he has access to the Interface. And four people for which he can bring whatever it takes to face the world. Change is coming. The Changed Ones is a slow-burn litrpg fantasy trilogy (Ancient Bones, Ancient Books, Ancient Bonds) set on Earth, 150 years after the RPG Apocalypse... which mostly failed. It is an homage to the venerable ancient RPGs of the Golden Box era, the Baldur's Gates, and many others, offering adventure where You must gather your party before venturing forth. Keywords: LitRPG, realistic setting, low-leveling, post-post-apocalypse, fantasy earth, slow-burn, secondary POVs, female primary MC, team adventure, worldbuilding. Trigger warnings: casual swearing, adult innuendo (no explicit scenes whatsoever, though). Oh, and potentially a bit of politics. Bonus content: a Litrpg Easter Egg hunt. With lots of eggs across the book, some easy, some hard to find. Current score: 6/20 (20 eggs, 6 found) Publication schedule: on hold until September for book 2.

You've tried to write a story yes? So have I, Many times. I get a good vibe going, type a few pages worth of content then reach the point it gets the tiniest bit hard. Thing is, some of those stories are good, the kind of good that gets people excited and then disapointed when they cut off abruptly and without warning before fifteen chapters. So content Warning, none of theese little stories come to any kind of conclusion. A couple are just different attempts at the same idea (some with the same characters no less)They are also raw and uneddited, and no i wont be fixing them.I don't think any of them deserve any additional content warnings, as I'm not interested in writting those sorts of stories, but please read with caution.
