today you told me a short little story that made me unexplainably happy.
this is what you told me,
"earlier when you were standing at our locker i was watching you and you couldn't get it open so i started smiling at you and some girl came up to me and told me i looked like
the Cheshire Cat, so i just said uhh thank you? and then i came
over to you."
i watched you tell me the story.
occasionally you would glance at me and smile.
i'd smile back.
i don't think you see how big it is to me.
by simply being myself and standing there i made you smile.
and this is how it's always been,
the boy and girl who everyone has wanted together since they liked each other when they were 10.
i like to think i am not the only one with this question:
how do i love you?

Blue Core
Dungeon: A place full of monsters, traps, treasure, and death. Those are the Great Dungeons, with unplumbed depths below the roots of the mountains. That's not for me. Dungeon: A place of rape, torture, and death, to control and corral enemies and slaves. These are the Red Cores, from which the mage-kings draw their power. That's also not for me. I don't like monsters. I don't want adventurers. I want to stay well away from enemies and slaves. Fortunately, there are alternatives... (Includes explicit and consensual sexual content. Chapters containing such will be marked.) Weekly release schedule. Chapter releases start on Fridays, 5PM EST. Join our Discord!
8 722The Priest of Genes
Meet Seth, acolyte in the Church of Virtue. He’ll be a Priest like his father soon, he just knows it. Sure he didn’t inherit his mother’s preaching power, but he doesn’t mind being the secondary priest at whatever temple he is assigned to. Just as long as he has a library. Meet this genetics textbook. Hmm, that doesn’t belong here. It must have come from somewhere far away, I guess something happened to its owner. I’m sure a studious young man who likes healing could go far with this information, whether he wants to or not. This is my first time really writing anything, so I hope you like it! Please let me know if I make any mistakes; I have a new R&D tech job at a genomics company, so I probably don’t edit as much as some people. I’m shooting for two thousand-ish word chapters released on Sundays, since none of the webnovels I read ever seem to update that day. Underserved Market! Genre is fantasy, possibly progression fantasy. Maybe a tiny bit litRPG if you wait a while and squint really hard, but that’s the most I’m prepared to claim. Hedged my bets on the content warnings, nothing that bad. Cover art from A. W. Gelman

8 186Spice and Woof
Mitty and Dantes get along like cat and dog, but circumstances force them to stick together. Things happen to them just as much as they happen to things. Join them on their adventures in the unusual lands of Esthar where anything can and often does happen. And puns. I'll update from time to time, I hope, but school will keep me busy I suspect. Feedback in all forms would be appreciated though.

8 209Why a goblin?!
Ever dreamt about actually reincarnating into a fantasy world filled with adventure and everything you ever read about in various novels?? Well, that happened to me. Great right? NOTI am a goblin. Not some hero, or a dragon, or some type of mystical elf, or even regular villager A. No no no.. I am a humble goblin. *Also posted on web novel*
