《Behind Closed Doors》Pause and Rewind 🤨

"Alright then! Now officially as team 7 let's go get some food!"
Kakashi, now the official leader of Team 7, brought us to Ichiraku's. He pretty much forced us and honestly I just hope he was paying.
Realizing it would probably be in my best interest to ask that question before I ordered food I couldn't afford to spend money on. Sure Ichiraku's was pretty cheap, but still I needed to get new weapons and I needed them soon.
We made it to the stall and I asked, "So...whose paying?"
"Everyone is paying for themselves." He gave an eye smile.
I got up and left.
"Naruko! Get back here!" Sakura's annoying voice cut in on my journey away from the tempting ramen.
"Sorry I'm busy."
It looked like Kakashi rose a eyebrow, but it morphed into another eye smile and a laugh.
"I was joking. I'm paying!" He said overly cheery.
"Who even are you?" I said pointing at him.
He shrugged and ordered his food and I was called to order next.
"I'll have miso ramen."
Teuchi, the owner of the place who I had become close to over the years, smiled at me and slipped an extra egg in my bowl."
In response I gave him a teethy smile as he set my food down.
I completely annihilated the ramen. It was gone in a matter of seconds, chewing wasn't even in question as I finished the bowl.
Looking over I was met with some disgusted stares from Sasuke, Sakura, and well Kakashi was also done so it didn't really matter what he thought.
"Staring is rude ya'll know that right?"
"Naruko! It's so unlady like to eat like that!"
"Uh, that's so cool thanks for telling me, but if I'm being honest I actually do not care."

She made an offended face and went back to eating after grumbling under her breath about me.
It had been like 10 minutes and these people were still not done eating.
I had lost over 5 rounds of Uno to Kurama already and I couldn't take it anymore.
"How are you people so slow!? Just eat damnit!"
"Actually speaking of that I'm gonna go, I have business to attend to. Show up at the bridge tomorrow for our first mission alright." With that Kakashi poofed away.
"Eh?! He really left me here with- with you uh people. I hate our sensei."
"Naruko our sensei payed for our meal and you're here complaining! Weren't you raised right? Oh right I forgot your parents aren't around."
I stepped back a little in shock that she would stoop that low. The fact that she's literally over there laughing at the fact she made fun of me because I don't have parents was actually gross.
"What the fuck Sakura?"
She looked up and me and her eyes widened as she saw the un amused look on my face.
I could see Sasuke wasn't having this either as he looked at Sakura disgustedly.
"Just because you selfishly got so obsessed with a boy that you lost the only person that would ever even consider being your friend doesn't mean you have the right to say that. I actually hope you grow bald and get your head spit shined on the daily."
With that I got up and left not missing a beat even after hearing the yell that erupted out of the banshee's mouth. I didn't really care what she had to say.
'Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine, I just don't understand how many inches her forehead has to grow before Sakura realizes she's actually annoying."
"
'Damn. Fine whatchu want homie.'
"
"Hol up. Rewind pause skip replay start again backtrack zoom in out left and right beginning to end. You can what now?"
"Naw das crazy, never speak to me again saying shit like that. I'm out."
"OH SHI-"

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
