《Boundless [COMPLETE]》IX
Advertisement
I lied in bed and turned left and right, unable to get a wink of sleep. I hate whenever that happens. All the thoughts in the world suddenly decide to ambush my brain whenever I want to rest into my dreams. I even surfed through the Internet to find out how to fall asleep but to no avail.
I looked down at the lonely bed I'm sat on and felt a sudden emptiness in my heart.
Flashback
I huffed in bed and cursed my brain for not shutting down when I clearly kindly asked it to. I looked at my husband, his angelic face shining under the dim light entering through the slightly ajar door. My eyes moved towards the clock and almost bulged out of their sockets. It was 4 am and I had an exam 4 hours from then. I really wanted to at least be able to sleep and rest so that I ensure my brain works well. I sighed before I sat up and walked over to the study table. I turned the table lamp on and made sure that the light source did not disrupt my husband's sleep. He was occupied with work for the past few weeks that I barely saw him resting so I was glad he finally had the time to sleep. I opened my books and started revising for the last time for my test in 4 hours. I could feel my energy wearing off with every passing second but I knew that trying to fall asleep would be futile so I sat still and read the words in my book over and over again. My brain was in a fizz, making an involuntary groan erupt out of me which startled me and made me turn around to ensure that Damian was left undisturbed. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that he didn't hear me- even though he was a really light sleeper- proving that he was indeed very tired. Finally, I decided that I had enough and shut my books close. I turned off the lamp and stood up, only to let out a surprised yelp when I suddenly felt my feet getting lifted off the ground and myself being cradled in very familiar arms.

"Did I wake you up?" I asked quietly as he tucked me in the bed before joining me in.
"You're not as quiet as you may think you are," he responded, making me groan and jokingly slap his arm.
"So. Why is my little nerd still awake at 4:20 in the morning?"
"I couldn't sleep," I uttered before I turned around in the bed, making my back face him. His arms wrapped around my waist and I felt myself being pulled closer to his chest.
"You could've just woken me up if you were so bored to the point where you started studying," he said as his fingers slowly started running through my hair. I closed my eyes in satisfaction.
"I would never. You finally looked like you were resting after a very long time," I muttered as I turned back around to face him. He smiled and I felt the butterflies in my stomach get even more energetic.
Oh he's so perfect.
"I'm always resting when I'm with you though, aren't I?" he leaned in closer and gave me a peck in the corner of my mouth, "now sleep," he demanded as his fingers massaged the center of my forehead. That was always his tactic to get me to sleep and it never failed to work. I could feel my eyes slowly starting to droop and sleep finally consuming me. The last thing I remember was him lying back down after pecking my forehead and tightening his arms around me.

The Last Watcher
The Abyss Watchers. Once fully dedicated to hunting the Abyss, now cursed to fight their own members forever. One day though, while they are attacked by a mysterious warrior, a single Abyss Watcher is suddenly pulled through a tear in reality, transported to a new world. A world with a strange thing called a leveling system. Current update schedule: Tuesday 10:00 PM NZT Idea I had of an Abyss Watcher from Dark Souls 3 being transported into a LitRPG world. You don't have to know any of the lore from Dark Souls to understand this, however if you want to know more about the lore just google it or something, I can't stop you But it's not like it will be very useful in this story as I plan to not be focused on Dark Souls Lore. As a side note for those reading this while it is ongoing, I will occasionally go back to previous chapters and sometimes add certain elements to the skills and leveling. Not to worry though as I will tell you as to what I have edited in the authors notes, so be sure to pay attention to those when they appear as they may contain information required for continued understanding. Also, if you decide to drop this book then please leave a comment on the chapter you stopped on and tell me what made you stop.

The Labyrinth of Dreams
Having caught one attempted murderer and proven to the world he isn’t one himself, things are looking up for Kayden. Sure, recent revelations about his spell mean he needs to rethink his entire worldview and his future, but he’s been doing that every couple of months since getting his scholarship, so he’s had practice. From here on, it should be smooth sailing; nothing to worry about but trying to keep up in his magic lessons and not letting his smart mouth start any blood feuds with rich kids at parties. But something’s going on. The Fiore is convinced that Kayden’s a key player in a political game he wants nothing to do with, Max is openly fighting with his idol over things he won’t fully explain, and the words of prophecies past keep haunting Kayden’s dreams. Something big is coming, and to figure it out, Kayden, Max and Kylie will have to venture places that make his Initiation look like child’s play. And make a decision that will irrevocably alter all their lives.

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
