"What time are Luke's family coming over?" I asked.
"12"
"Urgh, that's too long to wait" I complained as I sat down at the island. My mum had invited Luke and his parents around for Christmas since his brothers were with their girlfriend's families.
"God, you two can't be apart can you? You saw each other yesterday"
"I just want to give him his present"
"What'd you get him?"
"Good Charlotte tickets"
"He'll love them"
"I hope so. He kept going on about how he couldn't get tickets so he better still want to go"
"I'm sure he will. That boy loves his music"
"Tell me about it"
"Can you go set the table please. They'll be hear in an hour"
"Still till long"

"Merry Christmas!" I threw my arms around Luke's neck as he came into the living room.
"Merry Christmas, baby" He replied, quickly kissing me as he hugged me back.
"Can we do presents?"
"You that excited for yours?"
"No, I just really want to go give you yours"
"You're cute" He said as he guided me towards the sofas. Our parents had already sat down opposite us. I grabbed Luke's gift off the table and passed it to him. He opened the thin box and removed the tissue paper. "You didn't"
"Why do you think I was late to school the day they went on sale?"
"You're the best" He smiled before hugging me. "Thank you" He passed me my present next.
"This is very well wrapped"
"Mum did it"
"Mumma's boy" I pinched his cheeks.
"Just open the present" I nodded and unwrapped the present to find a box. I opened it and found a silver bracelet sat on the small cushion. I examined it closely, noticing a small engraving on a disc hanging off the bracelet. It read 'L & M'.
"Lu, this is beautiful. I love it"
"And" He started before pulling out a necklace from under his t-shirt. It was a small circular necklace that had the same cursive engraving on the front.
"Thank you" I hugged him again.
"We'll always be together, Mads, even when we're apart"
"Cheesy but cute"
"You love it"
"Yeah, I do" I smiled before kissing him once more.

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.
