______________________________
Caleb paced around his dorm room in a frenzied state, waiting for the hour to pass by as quickly as possible. He couldn't wait to finally meet Judaline, he didn't want to wait anymore.
"If you wanted to work out, should've gone to the gym."
"Shut up Oliver. You're not helping."
"Trust me, I am in no mood for helping. It's bad enough that I'm accompanying you."
Caleb glared at his insolent roommate/best friend, he couldn't help it. He didn't know what compelled him to ask Judy to meet him, it's just something he really wanted since a while now. It took a while for the aftershock of his actions to die down, and when they finally did, he realised what he had done.
He was not prepared for this, even if the two of them would by conversing for years he would not have been ready for this, that's how anxious he felt.
"Look, you're overthinking this. There's nothing bad that can happen. She said yes, didn't she?"
"Yeah she did. I-I don't know, I'm just nervous that's all."
"Cal, this isn't the first girl you've spoken to. Plus you guys have been talking for weeks , hell it's almost been two months! I'd say its about damn time."
Caleb nodded, too jittery to sum up a reply. He glanced at his watch,
1:40 p.m.
He had another 10 minutes, before the class ends. He inhaled a deep breath and walked out towards his dorm room, grabbing all the essentials. Oliver trailed after him, partially amused and partially piqued by his behaviour.

"You know, you should probably talk to her alone. Ever thought about what she'd think, that you've got a bodyguard along with you?"
Caleb groaned, as much of he hated to admit, Oliver was right. If he was going to do this, he was going to do it right.
"You're right. You should probably go do-whatever it is you do."
Oliver shot him a smirk and with a pat on his back, proceeded towards the field.
Caleb waited patiently outside Judy's class, desperately wanting the agonising wait to get over. Soon, a flood of students started exiting the classroom and Caleb's eyes scanned them, waiting for those familiar green orbs.
"Uhh...Caleb?"
Caleb jerked his head towards his left and sure enough, those beautiful eyes were back under his gaze. An unknowing smile greeted his face, which soon turned into a full fledged grin.
"Hi Judes."
"H-hey, so..."
"So...?"
"You're in my Communications class."
"I am."
"Why didn't you say anything before?"
"Well...I-I love cheap thrills?"
"Oh Caleb. Only-"
"Me, I know. Now if you don't mind m'lady, can we go to the cafe to discuss our further plan?"
"Wha-what plan?"
"Saturday's, my game, your presence, our victory."
Judaline couldn't help but laugh at that, "I'd love to sir. Lead the way."

However, in a series of events, Amelia was jolted with another realization. The ancestors of her family, Laurel's Royalty, descended from a being far from what humans could call a relative. Now, her ancestral blood forcefully awakened by a grand scheme, Amelia found herself unsure of her own identity and purpose. Would she live as a human and only lay the foundations for diversity?

My Dear Alice - A Dark Awakening
He’ll cross a lethal land to bring her back home. But is she willing to be found? Appalachian Wasteland, 2072. Jamie Henderson wants to forget all about his ex-girlfriend Alice. Except this nonviolent fixer has been hired to find her after she went missing in the ongoing AI-controlled war. But his quest through the hostile post-apocalyptic terrain turns deadly when a roadside raider attack sees him captured by a terrifying matriarchal clan. Stranded in dangerous territory, Jamie’s jaw drops when he discovers his ex among their numbers. But with her personality split and scattered, his own survival will depend on reaching through her fragmented mind… Can this pacifist hunter make the truth known before he’s sentenced to death? My Dear Alice is a fast-paced companion story that bridges Seasons 1 and 2 of the gripping Cyber Overture dystopian series. If you like complex character studies, gritty worlds, and shocking twists, then you’ll love D. B. Goodin’s outlander opus. Note: This should be read after Sonorous. This story has been published, but I'm adding it here for Royal Road readers to enjoy.

Programmable Magic
Our main character, Reo van Dijck, tries to survive in a world where magic-spells are stored in game-like-cartridges. Only a few lucky ones can use them though. These chosen ones are venerated and worshipped like celebrities, unbelievable riches lie only a single dungeon-exploration away for them, they are called Machia. What will happen to our protagonist when he awakens as a Machia and discovers that he can actually program these magic-cartridges?... The Earth also changed drastically since the dungeons appeared, how could it not? These unknown, giant towers suddenly started spewing out hordes of fiends and monstrosities. Only The Machia were able to defend against these attacks on humanity. Countries were destroyed, safe-havens were build and then yet again destroyed. Eventually humanity adapted, like it always does. The economy was rebuild and centered around these new towers, these dungeons, the treasures they hold outweigh their dangers. Life is relatively safe again, for most at least… Read about Reo’s exploits, an immigrant from the Netherlands, as he tries to honor his dead parents and… find love? Establish a Guild?! Live the Ideal Harem life?!! BECOME PIRATE KING?!!! Okay maybe not that last one, but Reo will definitely leave his mark behind on this world full of mystery. This story features romance, comradery, an interesting power system and a post-apocalyptic world with amusing characters, what more do you want?! No seriously, I’m always open to constructive feedback. This story also displays my interpretation of a magic-coding-language (based on JAVA). Although knowledge about coding helps, you can also enjoy the story without it 😊.

That said, the purpose of this story is to both practice my writing and to generally have fun with my characters and the world around them.
