《Levi's Sick Day》Getting Better
Advertisement
(Y/n)'s POV:
Levi had managed to stay asleep in my arms for about 30 minutes so far, and hopefully, his stomach let him stay asleep longer. After all, sleep was the best thing for his body right now.
As the sun began to slowly creep above the horizon, I realized that day 1 of Levi's sickness had passed and hopefully day 2 was less eventful. His fever had slightly decreased, but not enough to be considered normal or not worry me.
I knew I needed to try and get him to eat, but I really didn't want him to be throwing up all day again. Clearly, the soup didn't work last time, so I decided I'd try to have him nibble on something lighter, like crackers. Not that I really need to worry about this yet. It can't be past 5:30 as the sun has yet to rise so he won't even want to eat until later on.
I moved the thoughts of food to the back of my mind and cuddled my head into Levi's chest. No point in wasting cuddles for my favourite person in the world. Even though it worried me, I enjoyed the heat coming from Levi, it was comforting in a way.
As we laid there in almost silence, I could hear his stomach churning dangerously. The only other sound present was Levi's laboured breathing echoing through the dark room. I gently laid my hand on his stomach and rubbed some small circles, seeing if that would help settle the sickly organ even in the slightest.
It didn't.
Even with my attempts to calm it, his stomach continued to rebel forcefully. After a short while, it would stay calm no longer.
I heard Levi let out a choked gag, and I shot up for the bin. It was unneeded though, his stomach was completely empty. I set the bin on the ground and pulled Levi's head to my shoulder. I rubbed his back as the dry retches continued.

Once his little fit stopped, I had him drink a few small sips of water and then helped him lay back down. I pulled him onto my chest and laid back down with him. I raked my fingers through his black tresses knowing how much he loved it.
I picked up the discarded washrag and gently dabbed the sweat from his forehead and neck. Once most of the moisture was gone, I let the cloth rest on his forehead.
The sun nearly up now, I could see It peaking over the horizon. That meant it was about 5:30. The cadets would start training at 6 so we had about 20 more minutes of quiet. I continued to stroke Levi's hair, and soon dozed off myself.
Once I awoke again the sun was at about high noon. I shifted to look at Levi, happy to see he was still asleep and his fever was a lot lower. I decided to have him try to eat so I carefully untangled myself from his embrace and headed down towards the mess hall.
I walked into the kitchen and began digging in the cupboards for crackers or another light food. Once I found a sleeve of saltines, I made my way back up towards Levi's room.
By this time, the cadets were outside and about an hour into training. I could hear Shadis yelling at the cadets from inside. He was a pretty good replacement for Levi.
I continued towards my sickly boyfriends room, crackers in hand. Since he had basically thrown up earlier, I was a little worried the crackers wouldn't stay down, but either way, he had to eat. Once I got to his office, I walked in and continued to his bedroom.
I walked up to Levi's bed and gently shook his arm. It took a few seconds, but soon I saw his beautiful oxyn eyes crack open. "Hey Hun, I know you aren't feeling good, but I got some crackers here, you think you can try and eat some?" I questioned while holding up the sleeve of crackers.

He saw the pleading look in my eye and hesistantly took the crackers. He pulled one out and slowly brought it to his mouth. He waited for a minute to see if it would come back up, and when it didn't he grabbed another one.
After about 4 crackers he decided he was done and handed the half empty sleeve back to me. I handed him the glass of water from the nightstand and let him take a few sips. Once he was done I set it back on the nightstand and helped him lay back down.
I pulled the covers to his chin and laid the washcloth back on his forehead. I quickly ran to the bathroom to refill the water glass, while I was there I grabbed the thermometer. I headed back to Levi and handed him the thermometer. He slipped it into his mouth.
Once it beeped, I grabbed it and looked at the tiny screen. "100! That's great!" I had a huge smile on my face. His fever was at 103 yesterday, so 100 was a huge improvement. It meant he was getting better and would be healthy in no time.

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
