《Always There》3. Jem
Advertisement
Across the street from us is Ms. Stanley. She's a friendly widow. She and Gem get along very well. One thing about Ms. Stanley that shocks me is that she's very perky for her age. She is also mobile.
Speaking of Mom, I get along with her greatly. I don't get why she understands one of us better than the other. Yet, I know what happened to Dad. "Mom, is it okay that I tell Gem?"
"About Dad. She's family, after all."
"Jem, if we do, she'll be cross." So, when Gem asks me, I have no choice, but to lie. "Dad is on a business trip."
"When will he return?"
"Soon," I fibbed. I dislike lying to my twin. I also don't want to disobey Mom. The thing is, Mom and Dad divorced six months ago.
Gem was with Ms. Stanley during that time. She and Dad were like buddies. One word on this to her, and she'll blame Mom for chasing him away. Gem is more like Dad: the carefree attitude, the love for outdoors, and the stubborness.

Soulmancer
A fantasy LitRPG filled to the brim with soul summoning and all things soulmancy. Mat couldn't have known he'd wake up with a full suit of armor. He was half expecting a crippling hangover, and the other half a face full of drawn penises. He got neither, which was good, but not enough to justify him being out in the middle of nowhere under the pouring rain with very heavy metal armor on. When he saw the dead bodies on the ground, it finally dawned on him he wasn't anywhere close to home. Not one bit. Things happened after the next, and after hours on end he found himself facing off against a giant of a beast out in the middle of the woods. And if that wasn't enough, he then got held at knifepoint by three naked bunny girls in a nearby river. Things were getting weirder and weirder by the day, but he was determined to make it through and hold on in this new world he magically found himself in. Still, a strong will and magic powers aren't the only things he needed to survive. He'll also need souls- a lot of them, and a trio of bunny girls to help him with magic algebra and basic physical fitness. 6 chapters per week. Image taken from shutterstock.

The Gatekeeper
Quick Synopsis:This is the story of Reylor, a god-like existence who lost a great portion of his strength when accidentally sent from his “home” to another world. Making friends and learning to harness to power of magic, he maintains his commitment to his prior duty and proceeds to fight against corruption, both on a political front and against what is known as the shade.(Note, this story focuses on action and adventure, so politics are not in depth) This has been my first novel, which was primarilly inteded as a learning experience, and so it may be a bit rough in regards, but it should definitely be readable and it is a full story. I may make some adjustments to it later on, but there's no guarantee... anyhow, it's free to read, so give it a go! Also, feel free to check out my new website: aretornovels.wordpress.com
