"So how's things with you and Luke?" Celeste asked. The six of us had decided to take a walk along the beach and then up to some cliffs. We hadn't done much today and Luke and I were a bit off since our discussion yesterday.
"We're good I think"
"You think?"
"We were discussing our plans for after school yesterday and he told me he wants to go to college in Brisbane"
"Oh shit"
"Yeah"
"What are your plans?"
"I want to move to the city and get a job or do an internship"
"You're gonna be quite far from one another"
"Exactly"
"You two have been through loads before. You'll make it through this. You just need to talk to each other"
"I know" We kept walking, Celeste telling me stories about Luke and her relationship with Jack. We eventually got to the cliff and stood looking at the view. I felt arms wrap around my waist and turned my head to see Luke.
"Can we talk?" I nodded and followed him over to a bench. We sat down and he took my hand in his. "I don't want us to be all worried about what's going to happen"
"I just don't want anything to happen to us"
"It won't. Everything will work out for the best. We just need to carry on as we were and see what happens when it happens instead of worrying. We'll break us up over nothing"
"Who knew you were so wise?" He smirked before pecking my lips.

"We go home tomorrow"
"Can't we stay here forever?"
"Sadly not"
"I don't want to go to school. It's literally the last thing I want to do"
"Me too"
"Let's drop out"
"I wish but we can't"
"Urgh"
"Let's go watch a film"

"So, where's next?" I asked as Luke drove.
"What do you mean?"
"We've done pretty much the whole of Australia, where should we go next?"
"Brisbane"
"Lu"
"What?"
"Stop trying to make me go to Brisbane"
"I'm not trying to make you"
"Yes, you are. Just stop. You don't even know if you're going to get in there so stop going on about fucking Brisbane"
"Sorry" He mumbled leaving us in an awkward silence for the rest of the journey. The only sound was the radio.

"You want to come back to mine?" Luke asked as we entered our town.
"I think I'll just go home, thanks" He nodded. We soon pulled up outside my house. We both got out of the car. I grabbed my bag from the back seats before turning to Luke.
"I'll see you tomorrow, yeah?" I nodded and pecked his cheek quickly.
"Thanks for this weekend"
"You're welcome" He smiled at me as I walked away and into my house.

Tower of Somnus
When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting. The Galactic Consensus interviewed our leaders and subjected us to a battery of psychological tests to determine our progress as a society. They found us to be selfish, wasteful, impulsive, and boorish neighbors. Earth was blockaded and our collective encounter with our extrasolar neighbors rapidly faded from memory. All they left behind was a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game that participants played in their sleep. The Consensus said that it would let us interact with our neighbors in a controlled setting. That it would teach us to be better members of the galactic community. The megacorporations that controlled Earth ignored the game until they learned that the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic, supernatural abilities and rumors exploded from nothing and a subscription to The Tower of Somnus became a status symbol. Katherine ‘Kat’ Debs doesn’t have much, but it could be worse. Born in an arcology, she was assigned a job in the megacorporation that raised her almost as soon as she could work. Despite the stability of her corporate life, she wanted something more. A chance to claw her way up the rigid social and financial ladder to make something of herself. A chance that wouldn’t come naturally to someone as familiar with dark alleyways and the glint of steel as she was with office work and corporate niceties.Book One is up on Kindle Unlimited as of 7/6/22 - https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0B2X3L8H5
