《The Nerd that turned out to be Vampire-ish [Wattys2015]》CHAPTER 2: Minus points for the selfie lord!
Advertisement
I was mumbling to myself, thinking of ways on how to assassinate that annoying nerd. When Allanah bumped my shoulders, waking me up from my trance.
"Hey Vic, you're kinda creeping me out. I'm seeing smoke coming out from your ears."
"Ah yeah, don't forget to visit me in jail. After I kill that douche breed of a nerd." Allanah gave me a confused look, she's having a hard time taking in the joke. Then she nodded. Late reaction much!
"Okaaay. Are you talking about that cute guy from earlier?"
"Did you just say cute?" I almost choked.
"Ah yeah. I mean, who wouldn't? That curly hair, fair face and amazing height. "
I am now puking imaginary shit out of my mouth.
"A guy that does a double-middle finger to a girl, is no near cute Al!" Allanah just laughed.
We're almost near the computer laboratory, when I stopped in my track suddenly remembering the class we're having.
"Shit! Don't tell me today is multimedia class!?"
"Duh! It's Wednesday, of course its multimedia day."
"Fucking shit!"
Allanah chuckled. "You forgot to do the plate*, haven't you?"
*Plates are this school's term for homework. And it's not used to pud food in it.
I nodded. "Bulls-eye."
"You can just do it in the classroom, Mr. Oncada hasn't arrive yet." Bea suddenly appeared from behind.
"Please help me. I'm begging you!" I said pouting, while Bea giggled and nodded. She's good in codes, which I suck at.
We went inside the laboratory, looking for a vacant seat.
"Viiiic!" I saw Daisy waving her hands and pointing at a seat next to her and Jel.
Well, there were still plenty of vacant seats but that spot was our favorite, because it's away from the air conditioner. They know I have a growing hatred for air cons, the cold makes me fart, and it also makes my nipples hard.

I threw my bag on the floor and slumped on the chair facing the iMac (the 2014 models), grumbling while pressing the power button at the back of it. I hate codes, I hate multimedia.
"I want to see your website!" Daisy said giddily.
"Ah, I'm still going to make one." I said with a dying face.
"Don't worry! Today we'll only be passing the layout, no need for codes just yet." Jel said not even looking at us, she was putting on face powder.
I smiled like goofy. "Really?!"
"Yeah, so do it fast. You have ten minutes, before Mr. Oncada arrives." Allanah said, putting her big black bag on the chair beside me. Everyone really wonders what she has on that bag, and why she never leaves it. It's probably like Hermione's bag, where there's a whole different universe hiding inside.
I opened up Adobe Illustrator and made a random layout, good thing I always put stock images on my flashdrive.
And done! It took me a good 30 minutes to finish it.
Well our teacher already arrived a few minutes ago, when I was still working on the website. My excuse was, I'm still putting up finishing touches, which I'm not.
After we passed our layouts, Mr. Oncada is now teaching us about CSS and whatsoever S-S-S, there is. All I know is that it's about coding, and it gives me a fucking headache. So I opened up the selfie app on iMac, to kill boredom. Yes, I'm a bad student.
I was making goofy faces when I took the picture and as soon as I saw the photo, my eyes jumped out of my skull. Mr. Oncada was standing right behind me with a goofy grin and a piece sign. Oh shit!
"Minus points for the selfie lord." Mr. Oncada said laughing and so did my classmates.

After class we're now hanging out in the canteen, eating lunch. When I saw the annoying nerd, in one of the stalls. My eyes automatically rolled out on its socket, accompanied with a loud ugh.
"You okay?" Jel said her brows perking up.
"I lost my appetite. I just saw a walking shit." Allanah, Jel and Daisy laughed. The four of us are sitting on the same table, while the others had gone down and ate outside of school.
"Oh, it's the cute guy!" Allanah said in a high-pitched tone. Looking at the direction where my eyes are.
"Will you stop referring to him as cute. Shits don't have faces." I said, slouching on my chair, avoiding the topic and taking out my phone.
I'm randomly texting a friend when Allanah nudged me on the side.
"What?" I looked at her, waiting for an answer but she just pointed her lips to my other side. I looked and saw the nerd.
My brows furrowed and it probably turned into a mini bridge. "What are you doing here?" I asked him in an annoyed tone.
He smirked and placed a sandwich in front of me. "An apology gift." He said and walked away.
"Okaaaaay..." I'm now staring at the sandwich, doing an imaginary x-ray. "This smells danger, it's poisoned."
"OHMAYGAAAD! VICTORIA! That was just too cute!" Daisy squeaked, she's sitting in front of me.
"The part where he gives me a poisoned sandwich? It should have been an apple." I replied, while poking the sandwich.
"Don't be a bitch and eat it!" Allanah said jokingly.
"Make sure to put me in a glass coffin if I die, and I want you guys to dress like dwarves if that happens."
I really hate this yolo side of me. Now we'll know if curiosity does kill a cat. Ohgawd! I just remembered shaving my cat down there, and now I'm dying out of severe itchiness.
(A.N: Think of another synonym for cat, then you'll get the joke.)
I took a bite of this mysterious sandwich, and I tasted Nutella. Oh he probably bought this on that new stall, I looked from behind where the stall is and read the name, Mom's Panini's. Didn't expect for him to buy something fancy. Loaded poop.
"So?" The three of them looks at me like I just got a pregnancy test.
"It's a girl." I said in a straight face.
"Ugh." They said and rolled their eyes in perfect unison, making me laugh.
"Vic! Be serious for once!" Allanah said slapping my shoulders.
"Okay okay! Calm your tits womans..." I replied while wiping the tears in my eyes.
"You just have to say 'womans' huh?" Allanah asked as her brow sailed to the moon and back. She's a grammar nazi. Her reactions are quite priceless, when it comes to typos.
I laughed again, and they are now staring at me, throwing imaginary daggers at my face.
"It's fine, it's kinda yummy." I said in between laughs, they're seriously making a big deal out of this panini.
"Wanna take a bite?" I asked the three, and Daisy gladly took the offer.
After she bit half of it. I crunched down holding my stomach and acted like it felt painful.
"Ahh! My stomach it hurts! It really is poisoned!" I said, crouching in my seat, my face hidden from their view. I sneaked a peek and saw Mr. Oncada standing next to where Jel is sitting.
"Plus points for the drama queen." He said laughing and walked away.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Rise of the Godslayer
When Kan lost all his power to an accident four years ago, he thought the world of divine cultivation had closed its gate on him forever. Until a mysterious visitor offers him a cure and a chance to start over. As Kan resumes his training, he discovers that the visitor’s gift isn’t a simple gesture of kindness.

Meanwhile, his power has become stronger than he could ever imagine, and there seems to be more to the accident that once took everything away from him. The truth behind these puzzles and the answer to who he truly is will bring a revelation that changes the course of mankind. --------------- Note: this is a crossbreed of cultivation and high fantasy. The world is heavily Asian-inspired (though not Chinese or Taoist), the characters level up through stage progression and secret weapon unlocking, and the main conflict centers around politics and gods/demons.
