Silver's POV
In the few days that followed the event of finding out that Aiddan had Lung Cancer I had signed a bunch of paperwork giving the doctors the go-ahead to start him on chemo. I had been reading up on it and although the process sounded scary I felt as if he had a good chance at surviving. During the last few days though I had been staying at the hospital and surprisingly Ethan had visited every day. Of course he said it was only to make sure that I was going to be alright and he wouldn't have to find another PA but a girl can only hope. I mean have you seen him?
Come to think of it, if I didn't know better I would be a little bit suspicious. Because I may be wrong but Aiddan looks a little like him. But that's impossible. Isn't it? Aiddan's only three so I guess it could just be me. But it was still something to be cautious of since I didn't know for sure who his father was. Let's just hope it's an accident.
Aiddan was currently sleeping like a rock as he laid on the hospital bed. They had finished his first batch of chemo a while ago and he was tired from it all. I don't think he fully understands what is going on other than that something is wrong. But I mean what three year old would? I know he's smart for his age and way more than averagely developed seeing as he can coherently talk but still. Even if he could understand what cancer was I don't want him to feel worried or as if he was going to die. That would just be too depressing to know that I was the cause of it.

"How's he doing?" I heard a deep voice murmured from behind me as I jumped in surprise.
Turning around I see that it's just Ethan so I calm down a little bit. "They just finished the first chemo." I said as I slyly checked him out.
"I'm sorry I wasn't here for that. I would have been if it wasn't for a big sales project meeting I had to be in." As Ethan explains, my mind goes back over the fact that they looked so similar.
I didn't realize that I had been lost in thought and blankly staring at him until I felt his hand on my shoulder shaking me slightly. "Huh?" I responded confused.
"I said you should move into your new apartment this weekend." Ethan explained then frowned. "Maybe you should just move into my house. So I can help with Aiddan and you won't have to travel very far or find a babysitter for him during work. Because I can just work from home other than the meetings and checkup."
Hearing those words I was shocked. He wanted us to move into his house?

8 176Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.
8 154Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
