《Haunted Love | Colby Brock x reader✔》Chapter 22
Advertisement
"Today is quite a serious video. You guys know we've been messing around with the Ouija board and that we've contacted spirits and demons, so we're having a priest come and bless our house." Sam began vlogging for his channel.
"I'm joined with uncle Elton, aunt Corey, Colby and Y/N. Everyone else couldn't make it." he continued while pointing to each one of us as he introduced us. It was a few weeks ago when we called a priest and asked him if he could come over and bless the house.
It was a few minutes later and the doorbell suddenly rang. Elton went and answered the door, letting the priest in. We greeted him each separately and introduced ourselves. We were now all standing near the front door.
"Let's get straight in." the priest announced and we all nodded. "What have you guys been doing in this house?" He asked. "We've done like three a.m. challenges, Ouija board challenges, rituals and crazy stuff." Corey answered truthfully.
"And you've contacted spirits and demons?" He asked once more. "Yes." we all said almost in unison. We started talking about demons and stuff before the priest started blessing the kitchen, the game room, the TV room and the garage.
While in the garage he told us that he felt weird vibes. "Actually we've heard like whispers, screams, thuds, footsteps and we even saw figures in the garage." I spoke up. He took a few minutes blessing the garage before moving upstairs to the bedrooms.
"Just a quick question. Who has had the most experience with spirits and stuff." the priest asked, stopping in front of Corey and Devyn's room. Suddenly everyone started pointing at me.
"I mean, yeah. I've never really told anyone about this, but growing up as a kid my godparents forced me to play the Ouija board for them because they were too afraid of doing it. I had to do it alone, but obviously my parents didn't know that it's against the rules. Neither did I." I started explaining my situation from the beginning.

"Growing up, I've had sleep paralysis like twice a week. It was terrifying. When I was seventeen, I dropped out of school for the sake of both my godparents' death. I moved to LA into a small apartment alone." I continued with Sam still vlogging.
"That's when I started exploring these abandoned and haunted places. I did the Ouija board more often. I contacted demons and spirits. I did three a.m. challenges and my house got haunted. I had more sleep paralysis. I started hearing voices, I caught paranormal activity on camera, I saw figures and I even got harmed." I went on and everyone's faces changed. To shock and scared expressions.
"I moved in with these guys because my old house had a 'NO TRESPASSING' tape around it. One of my old friends called me telling me that the neighbours heard or witnessed something that happened in or at my house and the cops showed up and it's still a no trespassing zone." I ended and the priest looked a bit worried.
"Tell me, has there been any problems in this house?" He asked me. "Yes." I answered and went on. "It was the night that we met when we all explored an abandoned asylum at the same time." I added.
"They invited me to stay the night. So I was busy watching something on TV alone downstairs when the TV suddenly switched off and back on. I heard footsteps in the other room and I thought that it was someone trying to mess with me."
"Right after that I heard whispers right next to me followed by a voice whispered in my ear 'run'. I ran to Colby's room because it was the only room with its light on. While running I felt something scratch my arm before I got in the room. It was bleeding. I stayed the night in his room." I answered and the priest looked more worried than before.
"And the games and rituals. Anything happened with you there?" The priest asked again.
"A month later Sam asked me if I could play the Midnight game with him. I agreed on doing it. During the game the TV went static. The keyboard played. Nothing really happend. But then my candle went out and I tried relighting it but it wouldn't relight. Sam ended the game a bit too early. That exact same night I scrolled through the comments. Most of them were like we shouldn't have ended the game like that and so on."

"After I did that I felt a bit hungry. I went downstairs for a midnight snack. During this time we still should've played the game. While I got a midnight snack I could hear whispers, which I remembered is a sign of when the Midnight Man is near you. I turned around and saw two bright red eyes watching me from the window." I continued.
"So I ran up, left my snack, banged on everyone's doors and told them to all go in my room, seeing my room is the biggest. When we were all in my room, I told them what had happen. We called Sam's girlfriend and our other friend who played with us to warn them. Sam stayed in contact with Kat and I stayed in contact with Brennen." I continued.
"Nothing strange happened with anyone except for me. When it was around five or six everyone went back to their rooms and went to sleep. I couldn't sleep. I was feeling like something was staring at me from both my windows and closed closet. Finally I fell asleep at around seven and woke up at eight." I was near the end.
"When I woke up I felt a cold breeze enter my room. Turns out my window was open and my closet door was only a few centimeters open." I ended and the priest looked shocked.
"Could you show me your room?" He asked me. "Of course." I said and made my way to my room, opening the door and turning on the light. The priest looked inside it, but not stepping in the room.
"You have mirrors in your room?" He asked. "Yes. My closet has two huge mirrors on it and then there's a quite large mirror in front of my bed." I said and the priest's eyes widened.
"Do you know that mirrors are portals for demons and spirits?" He asked me. "Well I have heard of it but no, I didn't really know." I answered.
The priest handed us all necklaces with crosses on it. "If you want to be safe, I recommend that you wear this at all times." he said and we all nodded, immediately putting it on.
He stepped a foot inside my room and looked around in my room, not stepping in his other foot. "I'm not going in there." he said stepping out of the room.
"I feel a weird and scary presence in that room. It feels like a demon. I don't know, but I'm not stepping door in that room ever again." he said and started drawing a cross on the door with oil.
"I'll have another priest come and bless your room. You don't have to pay me. I'm just going to leave now." he said and started speed walking down the stairs and out the house.
I heard his car pull away in the flash of lightning. Everyone were staring at me in shock. Their eyes darted from my room to me. Colby should've noticed my whole body freezing when he came closer to me.
"Everything's gonna be alright, baby." he said and I shook my head. "No it's not. Did you see they way he took off. He was in such a rush to get away from my room." I said and felt scared of what could happen to me while in my room.
"Do you want to crash in my room for a bit?" He asked and I nodded gratefully. "Thanks." I said still out of shock. "Anything for my baby." he said and kissed my cheek.

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
