"Y/n stop pulling the cord before it breaks." Vanessa said pulling me back by my arm.
"I'm proving that it won't break." I said walking back and gripping the cord, jumping then pulling down roughly. Just as I came down the cord snapped and I fell to the ground. "Ouch."
"I fucking told you." Vanessa stood over me crossing her arms.
"Sorry mom." I rolled my eyes rubbing my back and sitting up.
"Y/n you fucking ruined my adventure." Jasmine kicked my side.
I flinched and stood up. "Quincy imma fuck her up."
"She'd beat your ass." He said as he and Summer laid against a tree.
"Pshhh, yeah right." I looked at Jasmine and bit my lip.
"What's up?" She asked.
I slowly walked towards her until we were face to face. "Say sorry for kicking me." I whispered.
She leaned up and whispered. "Make me."
I smirked nodding slowly and leaning down to whisper in her ear. "You sure?"
"Oh shit." Vanessa said.
"Positive." She smirked.
I quickly threw her over my shoulder. "Okay guys we'll see you later."
"Y/n no, Summer get your girlfriend!" Jasmine yelled hitting my butt.
"Nah, she's good." Summer winked at me.
"See this is why I love you." I went to turn around but quickly paused looking back at a smiling Summer. "N-not like that, like I love you but not in the I love you kind of way." I said, my voice getting quieter with every word.
"Y/n, stop talking." Quincy said.
I nodded. "I'm just gonna." I pointed at Jasmine.
"Yep." Summer bit her lip.
I quickly turned around and ran then jumping off of the cliff. "Wooooooo!" I yelled.
"Ahhhhhh!" Jasmine yelled.
I was engulfed by cool water and I swam to the surface, Jasmine quickly following after. She reached out and smacked my chest. "I hate you!" She yelled.
"What? You wanted adventure." I laughed out.
"You could've warned me you ass." She glared flipping her wet hair out of her face.
"Hey guys!" I looked up to see Quincy peaking over the edge of the cliff. "We're going to walk around have fun down there."

I waved. "Okay love you guys!" I yelled back. "But, not in that way."
"Yeah, whatever!" He yelled disappearing behind the cliff.
I looked back at Jasmine to see her floating. "Nice isn't it?" I asked swimming closer to her.
"Mhm." She hummed.
"Bet your not mad at me anymore." I smirked.
"Nope, still am." She said closing her eyes.
I laid on my back floating next to her. "What if a fucking whale came out of nowhere and ate us whole."
She laughed. "Only you would say some shit like that."
I smiled. "You having fun?" I asked.
"Right now or..." she trailed off.
"The whole time we've been here." I said.
"I've actually been having a hell of a time," She sighed. "And part of that may or may not be because we've gotten closer."
"Again." I smiled.
"What happened to us Y/n?" She whispered.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I mean, you used to tell me everything, literally everything, I remember that time you told about how big of a shit you took." She chuckled.
I laughed nodding. "Yeah."
"We used to argue a lot then but now all we do is argue." She scoffed.
"Yeah but it's playful." I said.
She sighed leaning forward and swimming towards me. "Let's get to land."
I nodded and followed her to land sitting next to her on the sand. "Did I say something?"
She bit her lip. "I miss us, we always used to go on those little so-called dates and have the best time."
I smiled. "Are you saying your in love with me?"
"Shut up," She shoved my shoulder laughing. "I want my Dino back, don't get me wrong I love fighting with you it's hilarious but, I wouldn't mind hanging out like we used to."
I bit my lip looking at her. "Do you still have that necklace I won for you?"
She blushed looking out at the water. "Maybe."
I smirked. "Maybe?" I leaned towards her. "You definitely don't wear it anymore."
"Yeah Y/n because you won it at Chuck E Cheese my neck would've turned green." She chuckled.

"Whatever that necklace cost me 2,000 tickets, I'm pretty sure it was real gold." I said.
"Oh yeah?" She raised a brow looking at me.
I nodded. "Yeah."
She smiled shaking her head and slowly taking off the necklace her grandmother gave her. "What are you doing?" I asked.
She opened the heart locket revealing a rusty, faded, silver J. "No way." I took the necklace from her hands and smiled up at her. "You kept it?"
"Duh, it's right there," she laughed out. "That was the sweetest thing you ever did, you literally played every game for three days straight just to get me a necklace you could've bought at a store."
"Well, I wanted it to have meaning." I smiled looking back down at her necklace.
"And it does, I wouldn't have put it in my grandmothers necklace if it didn't mean anything." She shrugged.
I closed the locket and leaned back placing it around her neck. "Gosh, I love you 3000." I threw my arms around her neck hugging her tightly.
"Oh no Dino we are not doing this." She laughed gripping my arm.
I pulled her even closer causing us to both fall back. "Say you love me, Jasmine!" I yelled.
"No fuck you!" She yelled laughing.
"I love you, Jasmine!" I pecked her forehead.
"Ugh, I love you too dumbass," she smiled. "Now let me go."
I leaned back dropping my arms to my side. "Quincy and Summer better watch out."
"Ha," she laughed out sarcastically. "I would never date you."
"Ouch." I smacked her bare stomach.
She flinched pinching my arm. "Dick."
"Yeah, a big one." I said.
She gagged. "Shut up."

"Stop dry humping each other." Quincy said.
"Oh come on we're not even kissing." Summer said running her fingers through my hair.
"Right, stop hating Quincy." I mumbled into her neck wrapping my arms tighter around her waist.
"You two might as well be, I mean look at how your sitting." He said.
I looked up from her neck and down at our position. Summer was sat between my legs with her knees bent and her back rested against my front. "What? This is a normal friendly position." I said resting my head back on her shoulder.
"Guys, look what I found." Travis said running up to us.
I squinted trying to see what was in his hands through the darkness. "It's a snail." He exclaimed.
"Ew Travis put that down." Quincy said.
"Why?" He asked walking closer to Quincy.
"Stop." Quincy quickly jumped up and backed away.
"Are you scared?" He asked.
"No." Quincy whispered.
"Then hold it." He continued walking closer.
"That's what she said." I whispered into Summer's ear and she giggled.
"Stay away from me!" Quincy yelled running past Travis.
Travis ran after him yelling. "Just touch it!"
I laughed throwing my head back. "I fucking love my brother."
"So do I, he's like a mini-you." She smiled laying her head back on my shoulder.
I hummed. "Mmm."
"What?" She asked.
"Is that your subtle way of saying you love me?" I smiled down at her.
She blushed. "No, you haven't won my heart back yet."
My eyes widened. "Back? On my God I really fucked up, you loved...love me."
"I didn't say that Y/n." She bit her lip.
I nodded looking down at her. "You're adorable when you blush," I caressed her blushing cheek.
Her eyes softly fluttered closed. "Your really fucking charming."
I chuckled dropping my hand and pulling her closer to me. "Why thank you."
She smiled intertwining our fingers. I kissed the top of her head. Well, no more confusion about my feelings for Summer, this definitely feels right.
"Hey, how is Dog?" She asked.
"Oh shit, I'm such a bad parent, I haven't checked on him yet." I pouted.
"How could you?" She gasped.
"Don't make me feel worse about myself Winter." I whined.
"Oh, now you feel guilty." She giggled.
"I bet Quincy hasn't called him either." I retorted smiling.
"Don't try and shift the blame, I'll deal with him later, so back to you-" I quickly covered her mouth.
"Stop talking!"

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.

Philippines in Another World (Because Japan is too OP. Please Nerf)
This is the Philippines, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is a country of sunny weather and sweet smiles, where life is relatively simple (unless you are into politics) and where people are friendly and warm. However, it is not without flaws.For instance, Philippines suffer corruption in the government like other developing countries as well as decades of insurrection. The rich only gets richer and the poor gets poorer, while since time immemorial the country's denizens have this habit of hating their presidents and loving foreigners more than their own countrymen. It seems nothing has changed much since the famed EDSA Revolution of 1987.The year is 2042. Philippines has reached economic growth comparable to South Korea in 2022. Still, elite families control the government and social justice remains dismal. The younger population became increasingly materialistic while their parents are becoming more and more irresponsible. The problem has shifted from "how to decrease population" to "how to make spoiled kids' and parents' ass off to work".In terms of military power, the country has acquired considerate amount of firepower but remained one of the weakest in the ASEAN region thanks to politics. Worse, China and the USA has declared war against each other after a diplomatic blunder thanks to the incompetence of their respective new presidents. The world is doomed to a world war 3 while the Philippines was caught unprepared for war. Instead of finding solutions, politicians in the Philippines continued to blame their political enemies while the CBCP called everyone to prayer, hoping that God would make a miracle that make Philippines somewhat immune to nuclear weapons. Ironically, the prayer got answered in a way that is unimaginable....

Mary Susan Oceanrunner and the Brutus Saint's Academy
Join Mary Susan Oceanrunner on her quest to do... erm... something really important for the world... probably... Ahem. Long gone are the days when every hero could do whatever they wanted - now, we are civilised. We have government. Law. And proper forms. Lots of proper forms. (Final episode 25/07/2022. Also - beta readers far into the book rate the 'gore' degree as below 2/10, so the warning is a bit much) Mary Susan Oceanrunner is a poor girl from the orphanage, who like many others before, has to fulfil her destiny. The prophecy had been told, and she is the only one who can make things right. Erm... probably. Anyway, she can't just go and kill monsters like in the middle ages. First, she must apply for the appropriate permissions, fill the forms, learn about the proper loot taxations... Hey, no one said adventuring would be easy, right? Disclaimers: No claim made by any character by the book should be treated as the author's or anyone else's opinion on any subject. Most likely, it was just the funniest thing the Author could think of at the time of writing. This book contains many references to other works. It will probably be best enjoyed by individuals familiar with at least some of the following: 1) Computer games2) Fantasy in general3) Science fiction4) Tabletop RPGs5) Conspiracy theories6) Corporation work life7) Long forgotten prophecies uttered millennia ago in almost as forgotten languages under a starless night three dusks before the great convergence8) Filling any government-mandated form9) School10) EnglishMy ultimate goal is to make as many people experience something akin to joy while reading (think ~a bit louder exhale through the nose). It doesn't mean every scene will be funny or joyful because that's not how this stuff works. I can neither confirm nor deny having any other hidden agenda outside of that.
