"I can't believe you did all of that."
"What's there not to believe in that?"
"Are you telling me this whole thing was your idea?"
"Of course."
"So, no movie influence?"
"Of course not."
"I've seen plenty of movies Cal."
"Okay, so maybe a little. Was it that bad?"
"Bad? Gosh no, I just...I don't know why you'd go out of your way, to take me out on a date like that."
"Was it the movie? Do you not like Pearl Harbour? Oh god, did a bug bite you? I didn't inspect the grass, which is silly because I should've-"
"Caleb! I loved it. The movie, the way you set up an entire makeshift bed, the starry skies. Everything."
"Oh. Good. So why are you so surprised?"
"Because...I just don't understand, why you'd do so much for a girl like me."
"Hmm...you're right."
"Uhh...yeah-well okay."
"I should've done more for a girl like you."
"What?"
"Because a girl like you is impossible to find."
"................"
"So you can remember me tonight, when you're asleep."
"I can't believe you're quoting secondhand serenade."
"Why not?"
"Not many people know about them."
"Ah, I like a couple of songs."
"I see. So we're here."
"Yes we are."
"Umm...I should leave."
"Yeah. Okay."
"Thanks for tonight, Cal, I really enjoyed myself."
"I'm glad, it was all for you anyway."
Judaline looked at Caleb for any trace of lie, and upon finding none, she did something she did not imagine that she had the courage to.
She kissed Caleb.
Caleb was taken aback by the attack of Judy's soft lips on his, God he wanted to do that since forever. He was just a coward, and he couldn't thank her enough for taking the first step.

It didn't last long, Judy broke the kiss soon enough.
"You know, next time you should not think so much."
"I want to kiss you again."
"............."
"I'm sure you do, it's late though. I really have to go."
"Stay with me tonight?"
"Caleb...I-I"
"Actually no, I want to take you out on another date tomorrow. For lunch."
"Really?"
"God Judy, isn't it obvious that I really like you?"
"I-I really like you, too."
"Good, I would not have handled the rejection well."
"Of course you cry baby. I'll see you at 1?"
"Yes, see you at 1."
"Goodnight Cal."
"Goodnight baby."
Yayy!
Thanks for reading guys!

Reincarnated as a Troll in a Dark Fantasy World
A troll wakes up in the "forest of beginning" of a fantasy world with only faint memories of his past human life and unable to speak. The human realm will spare no expense to bring down this monstruous threat. While clinging to his humanity, the troll must use his cunning and modern knowledge to survive and evade the hunters. It is a dark age in a world of swords and magic, ruled by superstition and iron-clad rules. Tradition and conformity are the absolute cornerstones of society. There is no calendar, people count time by seasons, or days. Death, famine and vicious monsters are everywhere. People clutch in their communities, afraid of what is outside. Here and there, a Hero rises, his tale brief like a shooting star. Powerful monsters that drift too close to human's realm must be eradicated at any cost, or society might crumble. The Troll comitted this sin. This "isekai' LitRPG novel is an experiment in writing. We commit to the "Adventure" and "Fantasy" genres, but it might have comedy, romance, and both dark and light tones. Some events in this novel are drawn from random encounter generators and others are decided on a die roll just like a tabletop RPG. Things take a unpredictable tone! Non constructive / offensive comments may be deleted without previous warning. Daily Updates: One each monday through friday, two on saturday and sunday. As of september, the updates will be every even-numbered day. Cover Credits: "Ett gammalt bergtroll" - John Bauer, 1904 (with modifications)

The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]
