"Aww. It's good to see you're friends again", a familiar raspy voice suddenly mentioned.
Ben.
"Yeah. It took a while, but after Dele explained everything, I undestood him. We're alright again."
Harry Winks was there, too.
"We've seen you two lately and we were worried about our most famous bromance!", he joked.
I gulped.
"But now, that everything is fine", he continued, "We will tell the others, too! They are really worried about you. We know you like to mock each other and sometimes fight, but it has never been as serious and bad as that one. You made Eric cry! What did you do to disturb him like that?"
I groaned.
"There's no need in repeating these ugly words."
Carefully I moved my shoulder, to signalize to Eric to move his head.
Then I turned around.
"I'm sorry, that I have been in such a bad mood, recently."
Ben looked suprised.
"Oh, why? It's clearly not your fault! If my grandma had serious surgery, I'd be extremly worried, too!"
Harry nodded.
"Me, too. We totally understand you. You have all the Spurs support you need! We've got endless supplies."
He winked at me.
I thanked them and spent the rest of the day with Eric.
A couple days later, I drove to that club again, to meet her.
We've been writing for a short time, but I found her okay.
She was a boring, normal person. It was easy, to wrap her around my finger.
I asked her out and soon, I was able to call her my girlfriend.
Eric certainly would find her attractive.
I didn't. I felt bad for her, because she seemed so happy in love, and I felt nothing at all.
I was in love with a dude, but I could perfectly cover up my sexuality with that fake-relationship...

I kissed her, thinking of Eric, I held her hand, wishing it was his, I smiled at her, wishing it was him...
"Shh!", I warned her. "That's a suprise, okay?"
She nodded.
I knocked twice.
"What?", someone yelled.
"Who is this?", somebody else shouted. Check! They were both there!
We went inside.
"Hi guys.", I began.
"Oh my god! Who is this? Hello...", Kyle smirked.
"You're married, prick."
The girl stood next to me and shyly introduced herself.
"So... Is this right? You're Dele's gf now?"
She slowly nodded and blushed.
"Yes..."
Eric came out of the bathroom with wet hair and just a pair of boxers on.
He must have taken a shower.
He looked so good. I saw his sixpack and his big muscels.
But I? I was so ugly...
"Gah! A girl?! Why didn't you warn me?! I'm half naked! Who is that? What is she doing here. Oh, hi, Dele! Wait what? No! Nononono! She isn't....?"
"Yeah, she is", I slowly replied.
"Nah, Bro. You gotta be kidding me!"
I shook my head.
"That's my new girlfriend!", I happily answered.
At least I sounded happy.
Then I put my arm around her waist.
"Oh, Dele", she whispered and giggled.
"Hahaha. Yes so funny. Why would she even giggle? Duh, shut up girl.", I thought.
"I'm so happy with her!", I lied.
Eric smiled.
"I'm happy for you two. You're a cute couple."
Kyle agreed.
"Yeah, really."
"I don't mean to force you to leave, but I'd like to get dressed...", Eric admitted.
I smirked. "No problem.", I laughed.
"I will show you off to everyone!"
I poked her into the cheek.
"Model."
We left the room and knocked on Harry's door.

I shoved her inside.
"Suprise, Kane!"
Harry looked up from his phone.
"Oh, hey Dele... And?"
She looked up.
"Ruby. Ruby Mae. Nice to meet you."
They shook hands.
"Little boy has a girlfriend now... Unbelievable, how fast they grow up..."
I looked pouty.
"I'm not little!"
Harry chuckled.
"You two are a lovely couple."
"Oh yes you are!", Jan suddenly said, who just came out of the bathroom.
I waved at him.
"We've still got plenty of rooms to go to, to show Ruby off."
I squeezed her hand.
"Come on now. Bye, guys!", I yelled and took her to the next room.
"Nabil old buddy! Look what I've got here."
Nabil was excited.
"Duuuude! That's some crazy chick you got there. She's pretty."
I laughed. "And she's all mine!"
Ruby blushed again. "You're so handsome. Hello Nabil."
"And that's Benjamin."
He quickly stood up and shook Ruby's hand.
"Nice to meet you, Miss."
She laughed.
"Let's keep it down. Ruby is definetly enough!" I smiled.

8 336Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
8 156Demonizing Matters
A high fantasy drama about a young woman who finds out a demon secret. This secret sparks a growing conflict between demons and humans. While trying to save her own life and dealing with the unexpected consequences of her actions, she falls in love with a hated demon. We follow the drama of Lita, alongside a cast of several other POV characters, as she discovers secrets (both open and purposefully hidden), makes well intentioned but sometimes disastrous decisions, and encounters prejudices and truths. Demons may be evil… or not. Humans may be good… or not. God is aloof… or not. Publishing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This is my first real work! Super excited to be publishing! I don’t spend a lot of time describing gore, sex, trauma or any other type of scene that would be labeled as mature. I've labeled the story as mature in every way more because I don't quite understand the standard and don't know if I've crossed the line at all (and I'd rather be safe than get my story rejected for under labeling ;)). Mostly I hint, start the scene then interrupt/fade out, and in general let the reader know it happens but without making it too explicit. (I’d love to hear how I did on this! And if it was still entertaining/informative without being traumatizing.) This is what I prefer to read myself so that’s what I write. I’m not apologizing. ;) If I mislabeled my mature content it was by accident. And, yes, the pacing was also on purpose. Beyond that, I welcome any feedback you want to give! Enjoy the story!
