《22 Letters✓》Chapter 12: Black Looks Real Good On You (Part 2)
Advertisement
The lengths I go to for Nathan.
His parent's house was beautiful, but now being used to pure waste. The music was so loud I swear my ears were bleeding. The air was full of intoxicating smells like cigarette smoke mixed with hennessy.
And this is why I never go for parties.
Nathan had mentioned all of them being in the VIP lounge, and he wanted us to meet there.
I walked all the way up the spiral stairs and found a big white door. I opened the door and wasn't ready for what I saw.
Nathan pushed the girl off of him and looked at me. I felt upset, but then realized he was quite drunk already.
"You." He ordered her, "Get out of here."
She huffed and moved aside, not before closing the door on us.
"Hey, Lee." He slurred.
I walked towards him and sat on the bed, "You're drunk."
"So what? It's my party, I can do what I want." He laughed.
"Just like making out with a girl? Yeah, you can do whatever you want..." I muttered under my breath.
"Oh, her? She took some of the pain away." He smiled, "I can't get my actual crush, so why not get a dumb blonde?"
I shook my head. He was definitely intoxicated.
"Whatever, Nate. I'm gonna go and get some juice." I stood to leave, but he held my arm.
"No, stay." He commanded.
I listened to him. We sat there for a while, not daring to look at each other. Nathan then handed me a glass full of liquor.
"What?"
"I want you to drink it. Get a taste of freedom." He lifted up the glass in an attempt to toast.
"No, Nathan. I'm not getting drunk with you."

"Has anyone ever told you how good you look in black? Like a fucking babe." Nathan smiled while I blushed a bit.
"Wow, Nathan. Please stop."
"Have a bit to drink and maybe I'll stop saying the truth." A hand flew up to his mouth, "Oops, sorry."
I took a bit of the burning liquor. My head felt a little lighter, and that was good.
Nathan and I began talking. We talked for a while about the most random topics ever, and then I started feeling a bit hot.
"You're sweating." He pointed out, "Let me help you take this off."
Nathan began unbuttoning my black shirt, all the while looking at me. Once he removed it, he couldn't stop staring at my chest.
"How in the good God do you have a 6 pack??" He asked me, running a hand down my chest while I winced away.
"When your parents force you to work out, that is how." I chuckled before I noticed his eyes on my lips.
"Has anyone ever told you how sexy you are, or is it just me?" His voice turned a little husky.
Now, don't get me wrong, I was a little tipsy, and wasn't thinking straight. Especially now that Nathan called me sexy.
"Just you." I replied with the same huskiness.
I have no idea who leaned in, and how, but Nathan's lips were on mine. Holy shit Nathan is kissing me.
We continued kissing for a while, and soon enough, I started unbuttoning Nathan's shirt. He groaned as I ran a hand across his bare chest. Stepping back into reality, Nathan broke the kiss while I looked at him dazed.
"What just happened.." I asked.
"I don't know, but that was amazing." He yawned, "I'm going to bed.
"Shouldn't you tell the others to leave?"
"My boys got it in case I crash out, just sleep." He crawled into bed, and I went to instinctively lock the door just in case anyone came in.
Hopping into bed with Nathan, my mind slowly drifted off...

Protagonist: The Whims of Gods
Book one now also on Amazon! After quitting her job as a therapist and grabbing some work at a dog shelter, Tess's life became pretty slow. A tad boring, even. It thus came as no small surprise when she was chosen by a god. Thrust into a new world where magic, monsters, and character levels are suddenly a reality, Tess will quickly find that just surviving can be a challenge. It doesn't help that dark forces are stirring, she's woefully underpowered, and that spiders keep trying to claw her face off. One thing's for certain, though: The possibilities are endless. Will she end up wrestling a dragon? Becoming an arch-mage? Opening a quaint, bookstore, coffee shop, and wine bar for elves? The choice is hers... As long as she can live long enough to make it. Protagonist is a fairly classic LitRPG novel with character levels, classes, stats, settlements, and other LitRPG elements. Unlike a lot of LitRPG stories, while the protagonist has some perks, she doesn't start off overpowered. You can expect to see her struggle as she advances. This novel also takes the opportunity to explore some less frequently seen builds, shying away from any min-maxing. Chapters are about ~2000-3000 words and are released at 8:00am ET every other day.
8 4856Transmigration Retiree
"What's that you say? I can never leave this reality ever? Good!" Ed, was a normal man in a world full of superheroes, so he didn't really have too many complaints when that first truck fell on him. After all he'd read enough comics to know that sometimes things just happen. Besides he'd been getting on in years when it happened, and his life till then, though lonely, had more or less been fully lived. The second time around when that one guy pushed him off a cliff for a chalice of immortal ambrosia, wasn't so cool though, and then there was that third time when he was just getting used to life as a lady, and that crazy goddess showed up out of nowhere and started ranting about purging the demon menace....then some other stuff happened and he briefly got to go back to earth before falling into a coma where he adventured in the world of dreams. Then the aliens came, and the dream ended and he was suddenly stuck being the AI Overmind for the whole damn star systm. The aliens died, and because he was all mechanical and what-not he just kind of had to keep on going. Forced to continue collecting the materials and data from countless worlds that were destoryed in the process. Then there was that whole war with the gods business that followed...mostly because of all that world destroying he did because of some fairly faulty programming. Anyway, thankfully someone pulled a "rocks fall" on that whole curfuffle, because by the time he was in control of himself again, things had long gotten out of hand. Now the powers-that-be tell him that he must spend the rest of his existence in single lonely section of the cosmos. Trapped in a single portion of a single universe. And now he weeps...No worries though, these are tears of joy. Hopefully this final unending existence he's been given will be the quiet life he's been looking for. A Man who's seen everything gets abducted by aliens and is converted into an AI that sits at the helm of a fleet of alien ships and behind the computer systems for most their planets. This Alien AI goes to war with the gods and ends up nearly destroying an entire reality. The Angels condemn the troublemaking AI to life as normal child on a far off world....All truth said, the "AI" couldn't be happier. His life's been far too interesting(read: Scary, Inconvenient and Painful) in his opinion and he could do with a bit of normalcy.

8 120Forged
Legendary swordsmen, whose feats are hailed and names known far and wide. Many wish to be one, but few have the dedication to follow the path of the blade all the way through, with all of the trials and tribulations that entails. But those who reach the end can become something far greater than they once were. Great warriors aren’t born, they’re forged. A coming-of-age story mixed with a Martial journey story. Think Youxia, Musha Shogyou, or Knight Errant. A martial arts and action heavy story with a focus of slow progression, and detailed character development over time. One protagonist, but a significant amount from other character's POVs, and a notable amount of focus on other character's development. Disclaimer:Title/cover is metaphorical, no literal forging as of this time.
