《Flatmates》39

'Come on guys, we need to leave.' Harry and I were at the Sidemen house with Freezy, Ethan and Tobi. The driveway outside was a mess of cars - all Ubers waiting to take us all to the airport. I grabbed my rucksack, throwing it on my back and grabbing the handle of my suitcase to follow Harry through the front door. Harry grabbed my bags from me, dumping them in the boot of a car as myself and Josh climbed in. Harry slid in beside me, and we were off.
It took a little over an hour to get to Heathrow, the traffic being on our side for once. Harry, Josh and I made our way into departures, checking in our cases and heading for security. The other guys were all waiting for us the other side, so once through we headed off in their direction.
'Excited?' Harry asked as he wrapped his arm around my waist when we made it to the Starbucks the boys had made themselves at home in.
'I am!' Harry and the boys had organised a trip to LA for all of us. They had hired out an enormous villa, with the plan being that we were all going to just relax. The boys all worked so hard every day of the week, so this would be some welcome downtime for them all. Harry of course refused to let me pay my way, so we had initially fallen out when he had told me about the holiday. But I had slowly come around to the idea, understanding the Harry just wanted to treat me. After all, he does let me pay for other things.
Harry being Harry always insists on flying economy, so as we all boarded the plane we took up 3 full rows. Harry, Ethan and I had one, Josh, JJ and Simon had another, and Freezy, Vik and Tobi had the third.

I let Harry take the window seat, and Cal the aisle seat (with legs that long it would be mean not too) so I settled myself between my two favourite boys and pulled out my book. It was a relaxing holiday after all, so I fully intended to start now. I rested my head on Harrys shoulder as I opened the book to the first page, the plane taxiing towards the runway.
***
Eleven hours is a long time to be cooped up in economy. I ready my entire book, instantly regretting not putting another in my rucksack but instead in my hold luggage. Ethan and I chatted for a few hours whilst Harry slept, talking about the most random of things.
'Hey, I forgot to tell you that I fucking love your hoodies by the way' Ethan added in at some point during the conversation. 'The designs are incredible. Got any more coming soon?' And that was how Ethan and I found ourselves discussing business for a good hour. God damn it, this was meant to be a 'no discussing work under any circumstances' holiday.
We had never been so happy to touch down, our bodies cramping and needing to stretch. The walk across the tarmac to arrivals was probably the greatest feeling in the world, feeling my muscles stretch and unknot. Once we had our luggage and had been through security, we found our way out to the taxi rank. Josh gave us all the address for the villa, and we all began piling into any available cars we could find.
Josh joined us for the ride once again, and as soon as the car moving Harry seemed to fall into an instant sleep once again. 'So, how's it going?' Josh whispered, indicating towards Harry.
'Good. Really good' I grinner back at him at a whisper. 'I honestly don't think I have ever been so happy.' I swear I saw Harry smile slightly, but sure he was asleep I ignored it and told Josh all about how amazing Harry Lewis was to be with.

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *

The Last Journey
A slice of life litrpg story... or is it? It's burning slow, though. Moving on: War comes with a great cost. Lives and time wasted for most part. One could either be run with sword, be poisoned, be bowed, and sometimes meet their end with just a tiny speck of wood. With magic, it becomes even more colorful. From lightning, to worse poison, to hovering rocks, to weird bladed leaves, to whipping roots, and to a lot more odd things easily reasoned with magic. A wonderful creation. But once used to something more than wonder, more than tricks to gather laughs, it becomes worse. War becomes worse. For there is not only blood to be spilled. A particular town almost met the same end. Soldiers geared with swrords and bows came with mounts. Horses burning lush grasses as it cracked boulders and the soil alike with every step. The kind that only war ones could ever do. Even strange wheeled creations that oozed danger were towed, loaded with something meant to destroy. But not once had they acted upon what such devices should've done, nor what an an army is supposed to do. Siege never occurred, as much as a command to war. No. Magic existed so a simple little fire is all the worth the town has. No sword drawn, no arrows nocked, nothing. Just some mana spent and through the ash they march. That was how Nudius saw her end. It came not even as a surprise. She didn't have the moment to fully register what occurred before she found herself in an empty dark space. Life lost, time spent. All from a fire that had not even touched her. But she knew very well that it was magic. Something she wished to have and strived for to have. Yet it seemed that none of it would matter now. Nudius was well aware of what the color around meant, of the odd situation, of the unfeeling state of her being. It was death and that was it. She didn't have to worry or dream further. Although there wasn't what she truly wanted in what death to her is, but at least, Nudius was comforted to what she believed death is. Rest. But little did she know there's something more than that empty space. It wasn't only the promise of rest, but was also more than she could ever hope for. Another chance at life. Another chance to dream. ***Tags are there just in case. You never know! Umm... HI-MI-TSU. Story blurb+: This is slow burn, quite slice of life story about a girl learning magic. All the while as she fatten herself up. So yeah, progression fantasy. But there's Litrpg! Numbers! Magic! Spells! And of course! There's something more. But read on ahead, please. Oh yes. Plot! There is, too. Disclaimer: The cover isn't made by me. Just layered it with a text. I got it from a free website, if I correctly recall. I'll see to it. (Haven't worked on it.)
