Silver's POV
"Silver?" Rhys' voice traveled through the door as I sat on the seat of the toilet in shock.
"Uhhh, yeah?" I whispered, not exactly sure if he could hear me, but if I spoke any louder I wasn't confident in my ability to stay calm.
"Are you okay? Is everything fine in there?" His innocent voice resonated around the room as I became dizzy.
"No. Not really." I broke down. Tears started to blur my vision as I continued to look at the positive lines.
Rhys opened the door with a gust of warm air and looked around in worry. His eyes finally landed on me and he took in my distraught appearance. His gaze traveled to my hands where he realized I had taken the test. Cursing under his breath he rushed over to me and hugged me tightly against his chest.
"I'm pregnant." I state softly, making sure only he heard.
He didn't reply. He helped me stand and grabbed the test. Quickly, he shoved the stick into his pocket as we heard footsteps. Walking towards the bed he must have noticed the box because he quickly kicked it under a small shelf that was in the bathroom. Some muscular man was walking into the room with his arms crossed as soon as Rhys had got me out of the small bathroom.
"What's going on here?" He growled out glaring at us.
"She fell in the bathroom, sir." Rhys replied looking at his feet.
"Get her dressed. She's going to the boss in a few hours." With that he left the room.
As I settle on the bed I watch as Rhys paces around the room agitated. I couldn't even bring myself to talk because I was afraid that I'd break down in tears. But I also couldn't ignore the fact that I had to meet the man who ordered my kidnapping. Lost in thought I didn't notice that Rhys had stopped his pacing and now stood in front of me. He looked older than his actual age at that moment. And I soon understood why.

"I have to get you out of here." Rhys determinedly set his face into an expression I couldn't quite decipher. "I can't let you get hurt. I need to protect you and your child."
"Okay." I whisper slightly relieved but also worried for his safety. "What about you and your sister?"
Rhys' eyes flashed with panic before they went back to determination. "I'll pick up my sister on the way to wherever you want to go and I'll go on the run with her."
"There's no need for that." I started getting up and hugging him. "I'm sure Ethan won't mind housing you guys till we can stop whoever is behind this. And if Ethan won't then my brother Ashton will and I'll stay with you guys so you're comfortable."
"Are you sure?" Rhys seemed unsure. Probably because his trust had been broken by people who promised to help before. But I won't hurt him. Why would I if he was willing to sacrifice his life to get me out of here.
"Yes. Just get me out of here and I'll make sure you are safe."
With that we started to formulate a plan.
We decided the easiest time to successfully escape was when I was to be summoned to be in the 'bosses' presence. The only kink in the plan was timing. We would have to escape and grab his sister, and get to Ethan's house as fast as we could. And being as Rhys was fifteen he didn't own a car. I could drive, but again, a car. We decided the best way around this was just to 'borrow' someone's car in Rhys' neighborhood. I was a bit weary at first but I could always compensate whoever's car we happen to take.

8 813Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

8 77The Ramayana - Lakshmila's POV
We have read The Ramayana as kids and always knew it to be the story of Rama and his consort Sita. Every character has an important role to play. But not all of them have found much importance is any of the version. One such character is Urmila and her story with Lakshmana. All versions mention Urmila's sacrifice as "Unparalleled" but none depicted it. This story is an attempt to present the story of Ramayana from Urmila and Lakshmana's POV. Note : This story is fictional. The characters are the same. This story is an insight of The Ramayana through Lakshman and Urmila's eyes. There would be Nobody's POV also. The events are the same but the depiction is part of fiction. Parts of the story is loosely based/inspired from Sita's Sister but I have taken creative liberty to give my character more edge and depth.
