"Hello, you must be Mr. and Mrs. Kim?" The counselor asked as she came into her office and sat down behind her desk. "My name is Amanda, I'm your counselor."
"My last name is Harrier but it's a pleasure meeting you," Graycen corrected her in a polite matter.
"My apologies, Graycen! Congratulations on the baby to you both but before we start I want you guys to know that co-parenting right after a divorce is going to be one of the hardest things ever."
Graycen hummed, "Indeed, we didn't even start yet and I am feeling uneasy already." Meanwhile as they were talking, Taehyung was the only one silent and he was staring at Graycen who was sitting in a chair further away from him. Her father was right, she was glowing and she looked healthier and happier. Maybe it was just right for him to just let go.
"So Taehyung," the counselor smiled, "how are you doing? Work and everything?"
His eyes looked over to Graycen who didn't show any interest to him but instead to Amanda.
"Honestly I've been stressed but life's been good so far. I just care about Graycen's health and the baby's health time to time."
He heard Graycen mumble under her breath, obviously something negative. Which the counselor picked up on pretty quick.
The counselor turned over to Graycen, "So Graycen, you sound like you disagree."
"I actually do," she sat up in her chair, "if he was really worried about me or my baby-"
"- why can't you say OUR baby, Graycen?" Taehyung asked with big frustration. "You're not in this alone." His eyes were basically locked on the side of her face but she wouldn't turn to him.
She sucked her teeth before lightly chuckling, "Like I was saying, he shown no effort so far."

"I literally texted you every damn day to check up on you and you never responded," he argued back, "you pushed me away like you're so used to doing and that's the reason we divorced in the first place." Graycen didn't say anything after he said that because he had some truth to it.
"So, it seems like we have to talk out the situation before we even begin to talk about co-parenting. Can we-"
"- I'm sorry, so so sorry, I forgot I had a doctor's appointment today." Graycen interrupted as she stood up from her seat. "Maybe we can come back some other time?" Her voice was shaky and her face was turning red as each second passed by.
"Okay have a good-" she slammed the door behind her which had cut off the counselor's sentence midway.
"I'm going to check up on her," Taehyung spoke up softly, feeling guilty. Did he really say anything that bad? By the time he made it to the parking lot she was already near her car so he had to run up and block her from her car door. "Graycen, what the hell?"
"Move out of my way, Taehyung!"
He ignored her gesture, "Did I say something wrong, why would you just run out of the door?"
"I'm trying so hard," she clenched her jaw, "but everytime I do I get reminded of my mistake. You don't have to keep reminding me that everything that happened is my fault-"
"- everything isn't your fault, Graycen." His voice softened as he realized that she was becoming vulnerable but he hated doing this in a public place.
"Whatever, get out of my way. I don't want this stupid counseling anyways."
"Graycen that's wh-"

"- I said move out of my way!" This time she shouted out loud causing unwarranted attention towards them.
"Brother, the girl said move! Move, young blood!"
Not saying a word, Taehyung moved away from the car and he just stood there and watched as she drove off. He needed some way for her to stop running away but it was clear that it couldn't be from him. Taking his phone out of his back pocket, he clicked on one of his contacts to call them.
"What's up, hyung?"
"I need a huge favor from you, I really need this." He sighed as he made his way towards his car.
"Alright, I'll be there."

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

[Archive] Legend of the Nameless Hero
A WhiteSamurai original Web Novel There are always the mysterious tales of heroes, those who fight against the Demons, who fight for justice and those who head mighty quests against tyranny. Heroes that are born to destiny, Heroes that are forged through tragedy, and Heroes that are brought to the world in times of great peril and strife. Not all true Heroes are wanted or beloved, but all life understands, that throughout all time and space, for those who truly stand as Heroes, they never need to be called one. The sands of time are the only true judge for those who journey upon the true path, the only one they will ever need. This is the tale, no, the Legend, the Legend of the one who throughout all time, would forever be, the First Hero. This is Their story, a story of true hardship, of a sorrow greater than any other that would stand as a symbol of inspiration no matter the test of time. A tale of darkness, a true curse, an impending evil hidden beyond the horizons that threatened the very future of existence. This is the tale, of one of the few great figures, who, in the face of true evil, continued to stand. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Disclaimer: _______________________________________________________________ . . . All Chapters are subject to sudden revision, scrapping, or complete removal from the canonical storyline. The author of "Legend of the Nameless Hero" uses RoyalRoad as a method of experimentation with genre's and writing styles for Fantasy-style works for the sake of eventual publication. The end result isn't to release perfect chapters on RoyalRoadl, but eventually develop the story as intended using the best material to produce the highest quality work. The best mentality when reading works from WhiteSamurai is to see it as the ability to read and review pre-release transcripts or "Rough Copies" before publication. Viewer discretion and maturity are both requested and required. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :About: _______________________________________________________________ . . . This story follows direct character point of views along with an intentional third person narrative to explain to the readers what the characters won't. (I don't use my characters to go give extensive explanations for every last thing like EVERYTHING DOES) This tale shall encompass the life of the Hero from the moment she is summoned into the Kingdom of Kremor, to the Legendary Final Clash. This isn't your run of the mill hack and slash raise an army and conquer, I don't follow that bandwagon. Real life holds politics, intrigue, economics, structure, populations, civil opinions, history, psychology, heart, suffering, wonder, advancement, curiosity, ambition, and so many more things that would lead to me hitting some character limit. I refuse to take the same route that others use by simply ignoring these factors, my worlds, my stories, are as real as they get. There's no plot armor here, if someone screws up, they've screwed up and there's no magical sword in a well for them. I write in 'Seasons' not 'Books' as many often do, these are generally, not always, hundreds of chapters long, though as I have yet to finish a season, the average length is in the air. I go by an ideal of what I call 'Universal Lore' which includes the policy that things that exist within the story don't follow the rule where the Protagonist needs to be there so that it will happen. There will be some things that will happen, and the hero, and sometimes the reader, won't know happened until they enter a place, or news gets to them. A person needs to be in the right place at the right time, I hate plot holes and meta characters above all else... For my works, comments are practically demanded as reactions, thoughts, and various viewpoints are like sweet fuel to my writing spirit. Reviews are highly accepted and appreciated, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE EDUCATED AND THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED. Those that throw down a low rating ARE HIGHLY REQUESTED to extensively detail and explain their viewpoints on the work. They should also be willing to come back to the work at a later date if messaged by the Author, Me, due to issues they mentioned being taken care of. I'm never against scrapping a chapter or rewriting several paragraphs if there are character or story discrepancies. I want the highest quality work possible, and every comment, every review, are tools for me to use to further that goal. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Status: (Ongoing)
