《Flatmates》2
Advertisement
Three weeks later, and I am pulling my suitcases out of the back of my taxi. I pay the driver, and head towards the massive apartment tower in front of me. I double check the address on my phone as I go - this is definitely the place.
I am nervous beyond words. I am literally moving in with two complete strangers 300 miles from home. I am not usually a risk taker so this is a massive deal for me.
I stand in the lift as it ascends, trying to catch my breath and calm my heart rate down. The lift comes to a stop and the doors open, so I grab my suitcases and stumble out into the hallway. I find the door to the apartment and just stand there, too scared to knock.
What if they don't like me? I have never seen Georges face either, so thats another factor to my anxiety. What if they both hate me, and this has all been a massive mistake?
Suddenly, too quickly for me to react, the door flies open and a body smacks straight into me.
'Whoa shit, sorry' I hear a Geordie voice say as I hit the floor. 'Whoa I am so sorry,' it says again, as I feel a hand grab mine and another on my shoulder, helping me to get back onto my feet.
'No, im sorry' I whisper, embarrassment turning my cheeks a deep shade of red. 'Thank you I add' letting go of his hand and finally looking up to his face. I recognise him, but I am not sure why.
'Will' he holds out his hand for me to shake and I take it.
'Jess' I mumble, still embarrassed.
'Oh you are the new room mate right? Why were you just stood by the door?' Will asks.

'I..I was about to knock.' I stumble over my words, not even convincing myself.
'Hey, come with me' Will pushes the door back open and grabs my hand and one of my suitcases, pulling me with him into my new apartment.
'Lads look who I found' he calls as two good looking lads appear in a door way.
***
I don't know why I was so terrified as both of the lads turned out to be lovely. Will stayed a while too, and I feel like I have definitely made a new friend in him.
Alex was shy, but I am sure he would eventually come out of his shell. He was better looking in person too - living with him was going to be.. interesting. I have never been well known for my self restraint when it came to the opposite sex.
And then of course there was George. Now I have never been a big YouTube fan, but I did of course check them both out before moving in with them. I wanted to know what they were all about. I knew George had a pretty sexy voice, but his face. Oh my god his face. It was like a work of art! Why he hides behind a mask I will never know, because he is drop dead gorgeous.
Living here is going to really take some self restraint with two such good looking lads.

The Silver Wheel Game 2: The Wolf's Gambit
In part two of this three-part series, battle lines have been drawn in the once-peaceful realm of the Silver Wheel. In one corner, we have the enigmatic and brilliant Marie Walker, whose perverse dissection of the Silver Wheel and it’s operations has left a trail of destruction in her wake. In the other, we have the staff of the Silver Wheel, who seek to return to a time before their discovery and exploitation at the hands of mortals... using any means necessary. These two forces clash for the soul of the Silver Wheel in matches of wit and fortitude, forging strange alliances and suffering harsh betrayals. But when your battlefield’s a poker table, a little bad luck is sometimes all it takes to ruin even the best-laid plans… You can read part one right here, and part three here. Art was done by the amazingly talented nebai.

The Gatekeeper
Quick Synopsis:This is the story of Reylor, a god-like existence who lost a great portion of his strength when accidentally sent from his “home” to another world. Making friends and learning to harness to power of magic, he maintains his commitment to his prior duty and proceeds to fight against corruption, both on a political front and against what is known as the shade.(Note, this story focuses on action and adventure, so politics are not in depth) This has been my first novel, which was primarilly inteded as a learning experience, and so it may be a bit rough in regards, but it should definitely be readable and it is a full story. I may make some adjustments to it later on, but there's no guarantee... anyhow, it's free to read, so give it a go! Also, feel free to check out my new website: aretornovels.wordpress.com

Join the Discord!+Notable Tags+Profanity: People curse all the time. Rarely at each other or in a deragitory manner. Tramatizing Content: The MC is not a nice guy. He isn't your classic 'White Knight' who will defeat the 'bad guys' and save the day. Your normal views of the way the world should work are not the same for him. Expect ruthlessness, backstabbing, lies, dishonorable actions, and so much more that makes this story realistic and great.Urban Fantasy: While modern technology exists, along with space crafts and other soft sci-fi tropes, they are not key elements, nor will they be gone over in high details. This story is primarily magic/fantasy.Soft Sci-Fi: Read above. This story is a revised version of the previous story I wrote here on Royal Road. It's been almost a year since I published it and have worked on fixing it to become a better story that I am proud of. Edited as of 30JUL2022

A Traveler's Tale
Heroes. Villains. Magic. It's a story we've heard told time and again, each a near copy of the last. You know the story, but what if it was told from an entirely new perspective? What if it didn't follow the hero? What if, and bear with me here: I told it instead? My name is Daniel, and I'm just a simple merchant with quite the story to share...
