LEO'S POV:
The whole of the 7 except me were in the dining room on the Argo 2, waiting for me to cook dinner because it is my turn.
As I put my fabulous tacos on a platter I hear some muffled voices coming from inside. I shrug it off but when I hear my name I freeze at the door.
"Its not like Leo ever does anything! I mean, yeah sure he built this ship, but he's a child of Hephaestus, it's a piece of cake for them!" I hear Frank say.
"Yes, I agree. No one likes him either he is so annoying! Me and Pipes aren't even friends with him! He's the odd one out, no wonder he has no girlfriend! Nobody can stand him for even more than five minutes!" Jason exclaimed.
I started trembling and tears started to pool into my eyes. Of course they weren't really my friends. I'm all alone, no one cares. An what hurt more, was that nobody stuck up for me. I'm Leo Valdez, The Repair Boy, The Seventh Wheel, The annoying scrawny one of the great, powerful 7.
I silently walked back to the kitchen and took a few minutes to calm down slightly before going back to the dining room. I walked in and no one would meet my eye. I set the platter down on the table and gave them a fake grin. "Well, I'm going to bed, not hungry bye!" I said in a rushed way and left not giving them a chance to reply. Once I was out of their view I let the tears flow, choking on air I run to my room. I slam and lock the door, breathing heavily.

Moonlight Sword Sect
One of the three great sects, the Moonlight Sword Sect is a powerful sect that rules over a overwhelming amount of deity-like cultivators, like a dragon that rules over powerful treasures. The Moonlight Sword Sect, also called as the ?Moonlight Illusions Sect,?is the most feared sect among the three great sects for its profound and mysterious technique that can destroy realities and even the time itself. Indeed. This is the sect that no one must or even most, "can" fight as this sect is strong by any means, be it offensive or defensive as they can bend the reality to illusions, giving the attacker or defensive side a dim light of hope of surviving from the wrath of the Moonlight Sword Sect. However... "Are you really that serious, sect master?" "Yes, I am indeed serious." "You're giving away the sect master role to someone so that you can go away from your sect-master duties and court that female cultivator from other sect?! Are you serious sect master?!" "Yes." "Sigh... I can't believe this is happening..." ??? "Xiare! I challenge you!" "Hehehe.... Even though you're an OP character, you're still a weakling, my little Eumi. Fine then. I'll accept your challenge. Let's duel! Show me your best cards!" Indeed. Instead of a more serious tone of what the Moonlight Sword Sect cultivators imagined and portrayed by the other cultivators to be, they were instead opposite of that. Instead, they were casual, free from worries and most importanty— carefree with no sign of ending. It was as if they were like a joke, despite being one of the most feared sect across the cultivation and mortal world. Follow the cultivators of the Moonlight Sword Sect as they experience the changing world with their carefree lifestyle.
