"You play the guitar"
He jumped and looked at me
"Wait, you can hear it?!"
He said quite surprised actually and I wonder why, it's just a guitar.
"Yeah dickhead I'm not deaf"
He rolled his eyes and sighed because he was annoyed, I kind of like making him annoyed, it's cute and funny. Wait. Cute? Yeah it's cute.
"I know but this isn't a guitar humans can hear" he trailed off but continued as he held his guitar with one hand. "I wo-how are you hearing this?" I could see his body clearly, it was like an actual human, to be honest if I would have seen him in the streets I would've thought he was human.
"I uh, wait here" he stuttered and disappeared, I knew he was actually gone away from the house, the feeling wasn't the same. Not mentally for me, I mean the air actually felt different.
I waited for hours, until I got fed up and decided to go back to my room and actually get a good night sleep.
"Shawn"
"Shawn don't leave"
"Shawn come back"
"I hate you"I mumbled, it was a complete lie. I felt empty without him to tease me or be annoyed by me. Everything felt different.
I walked back to my room and got in the sheets, I quickly fell asleep.
//SHAWNS POV//
I've never heard about this. There's this thing called Ghosts Inc, they know everything and I'm getting there so that I'll be able to make an appointment and ask how it's possible that she was able to hear my guitar.
"Hello, my name is Shawn, Shawn Mendes, I would like to make an appointment"
The lady looked up at me and nodded
"Year of death, and parents please"
"2015, Karen and Manny"
"What do you need an appointment for"

"I need to ask questions, something happened and I need answers"
"We happen to have an opening, would you like to have an appointment right now?"
I nodded
"That would be great, thank you ma'am"
She nodded and directed me to a room at the end of the hallway.
I thanked her and walked over to the door.
Anxiety was starting to build up but my curiosity was stronger. I was eager to know why Amanda Heart, Heart out of all people, could hear me play guitar. It's technically impossible.
"Hey Mr. Mendes, would you like to take a seat?"
He asked, but it was more like "sit in the chair", so I sat and looked at him. I couldn't wait for him to ask me what the issue was so I just blurted everything out.
"This girl, she moved in into the house I was killed in. She's lived there for two weeks, at first I was trying to scare her off but then I realized she wasn't so b-"
He sighed and looked at me with a "I don't care" look
"Get to the point would you"
I sighed and continued.
"I was mad so I went to the attic to play guitar, a ghost one. It was the object I picked" he nodded and waited for me to continue.
"Well she heard it"
His mouth opened and he couldn't talk
"Is it bad?? What's happening??"
He managed speak a few words.
"You..you guys have a bond" he continued seeing I was quite confused;
"It seems like you guys have created a bond, which means your meant to be together forever"

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.

Blood Seekers -- The Monolith
Blood Seekers - Book 1, is now on Amazon, including the final chapters not posted here! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MYJ5ZRC “You will die!” That's what the developers of Blood Seekers promised them... The most challenging MMO ever created—that’s how they advertised it. Taglines like, “Not your granddaddy’s game,” and, “Only for the hardest of the hardcore,” had gamers going crazy. Set in a gothic, Lovecraftian world, with fully realized A.I. NPCS, gamers were desperate to get their hands on the new game and dive in, and Clay was one of them. It was going to be tough, but he was ready for it. What he wasn’t ready for, was countless players having their minds hijacked and being transformed into mindless, hostile creatures filled with nothing but hate who killed anyone on sight. They called them the Bloodless. Clay’s best and only friend, Rey, moved across the country she was twelve, but they kept in touch online, playing countless games together, and when Blood Seekers was released, they were both ready to step up to the plate and face the new challenge together. But now, Rey has been taken by the plague, her mind held hostage as one of the Bloodless. A mysterious black monolith has appeared at the center of the highest level zone in the game, a place no one has even come close to. Some say it will provide us with answers. Others say it will only lead to more questions. Who’s behind all this? Why are people’s minds being taken? Will we ever get to bring them back? How many more will be lost if we stay logged in? Nothing is certain, but if there’s any chance that reaching the monolith will bring Rey back back, then Clay will do everything he can to reach it. This is Book 1 in a new series from Stephen Roark! I will be posting chapters here until the book is done and published on Amazon!
