Peters POV
I woke up to Ruby sitting at her desk brushing her hair.
"Morning." I said.
She stayed silent.
"Your still mad at me."
"OF COURSE IM MAD AT YOU, THE THINGS YOU SAID TO ME YESTERDAY, I JUST CANT WITH YOU." she yelled then stormed out of the tent. I didn't know what she was taking about then I remembered exactly what happened.
FLASHBACK: third person
Ruby chased Peter into the woods after he stormed out because of a disagreement about the training and raising of the Lost Boys.
"Peter, you know I'm right. We should raise them to be warriors, not blind, heartless soldiers!" Ruby said sternly.
"What's the difference!" Peter screamed back.
"You know the difference, a warrior has a cause, something to fight for and does it with emotion and drive. A soldier is a hollowed out warrior, they follow who is highest in command and doesn't question anything even if it does go out of extreme morals!"
"So what, you don't want them to follow me!"
"I want them to not follow anybody and have their control! As long as they know right from wrong it could work. And like I said, you know I'm right, you just have too big of an ego too understand!" Ruby expressed at the top of her lungs.
"I have an ego, what about you! You know nothing about being a fighter, you are weak, you let your emotions take over and they pull you down. Yet you still act that you have been through such hardship. I saw you before you came too Neverland, you belonged to a rich family in the 90210! You are nothing but a spoiled princess and that's all you will ever be!" Peter then ran into the woods leaving Ruby on her knees crying in the middle of a small clearing.

END OF FLASHBACK
I went after her and run until she stopped in the same clearing.
"You know nothing" she mumbled, I could barely hear her.
"What luv." I walked closer to her smirking.
"YOU KNOW NOTHING!" she turned and yelled at me.
"Yes I was adopted by a filthy rich family, only because their last adopted child died. They said it was an accident but we all knew she wasn't pushed down those stairs. He was horrible, the man who adopted me, Michael. When he and his wife, Anabell, adopted me, I was the happiest orphan on earth until that third night at their house. I was laying in bed and the door creeked open, it was Michael. He walked in slowly, I thought he was just going to say goodnight to me, but this was different. He climbed into my bed and unzipped his pants, and........"
She stopped trying to hold back tears.
"But little did I know he was an angry drunk, he would come home late at night and yell and hurt me and Anabelle, she tried to protect me one night and Michael grabbed at hot poker and started 2 burn her back. Then he got a heavy, large whiskey bottle and broke it on her head, she collapsed to the ground, not moving. She did die but he passed it off as the bottle falling off a ledge and hitting her head. I was sent back to the group home, yet 2 be adopted. So as I said, you know nothing, but I guess you do now." she ran deeper east with tear stained eyes. I didn't know any of that, I just focused on the material things and not was on the inside. After knowing all of this, I still wonder, she was adopted, but who are her real parents.

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now.

Art of Mortality
New Synopsis after chapter 56: Long long ago, there was a mortal who despised the gods and envied the immortals. Why do the mortals have to die when the gods wish them to? Why do worlds have to perish when the gods say so? Why do only immortals get to live forever, why not mortals like him? As his family, friends, and his loved one died, he lamented. He wailed, he cried. He cursed the immortals, blasphemed the gods, spat at the heavens. But he was just a mere mortal. His curses were pointless, his blasphemous words were useless, and his spits only returned back to fall on his face. At last, he thought, enough was enough, he would definitely do something about it. He decided that it was time for the multiverse to know what a mortal can do. He was the first mortal to cultivate. Eventually, after a long struggle, he killed the Immortals, enslaved the Gods, and shattered the heavens. He reshaped the multiverse and rewrote his fate. In the end, he reincarnated as he decided upon a grand scheme, a scheme to rule 'All and Always'. He came up with the concept of what is known today as 'Paragon'. And with this, all of reality, 'All and Always', was finally reforming, according to a Mortal's Wish. Synopsis (Old): In the vast and complex multiverse, what can a mortal accomplish? In the grand scheme of things, what can a mortal change? In truth, what is a mortal, and what is mortality? Being mortal is being ordinary, the same as being trash, or so says The World. "No, mortality is an art, and a true mortal is a grand artist. Being the root of all, a mortal can become anything.", says a young mortal boy. Meet Edward Alexander, a mortal boy walking the path against gods and immortals, fighting to the end to rewrite his destiny, and change the grand scheme of things. Can he really change the grand scheme of things? Or maybe he himself is the Grand Schemer? To know the answer, follow Edward Alexnder on his journey to demonstrate the Art of Mortality.*******

Saga of the Storm Wizard
Rose Cooper had always been told she has a lot of potential as a wizard cadet. Too much, in fact; her weather magic frequently ran wild when her emotions got the better of her. That was why the mission to uncover a lost magical artifact in the Spratly Islands was perfect for her. They were no man's land, abandoned by both the demonic Grim Horde and the human Anti-Demonic League. All Rose would have to do to do was keep the weather under control. All of that talk of the Spratly Curse was just superstition and nonsense spread by bored sailors. If only. Evil wore many masks, as Rose was about to discover. Warning: This story contains elements that some readers may find disturbing, and minor language. Think of it as a PG-13 rating. This series is a spinoff of the Confessions of the Magpie Wizard series. As such, it contains spoilers for the main series. I have attempted to write it so that you could start here without reading the original story.
