I tried to cook for him, the day we moved in.
I tried to cook spaghetti.
Bolied the noodles, cooked the meat, baked the bread.
I thought I could actually cook for once.
He took a bite of the burnt bread, a smile on his face as he tried to eat it without grimancing. He put some of the soggy noodles into his mouth, nodding to me, acting as if it tasted good.
"Its horrible, isn't it." I ask sadly and he frezzes, swallowing what's in his mouth before answering,
"It is." My face drops and I look away from him.
"Baby look at me." Atlantic calls but since I'm so fucking stubborn I don't look up. He wraps his arms around me, kissing my neck softly and I finally look at him, sighing. His green eyes holding only love as he stares down at me, that familiar beautiful smile spreading on his face.
"I'm kinda glad it tasted bad." Atlantic says pulling me closer to his hard chest. "Why?" Im confused, why would he want the meal I made for him to taste bad?
"Because it proves to me that you are not perfect, that there are some things you can't do, and it assures me that I can make you my forever since... I'm not perfect either." My hands tighten on his shoulders, mine slumping as his words make my face heat.
"I fucking love you, do you know that Atlantic Walker?" I question him but I don't give him time to answer as I press my lips to his.
The irony is that he was perfect.
In every way and I never understood why he was with a girl like me. I was a handful, fucking bipolar at times and I took away happiness.
I took away his happiness.
Yet he stayed.
Begged me to stay.
Why would you ask me to stay when I was destroying you?
I should've left.
I should've gone as far away from you as possible.
I should've of done so many things.

Leveling meets Bestowed Great Power for Great Responsibility! ---It's a comic book universe, so the scale goes Way Up, and anything goes. Credit to Jack of Hearts for the cover! Updated Daily.

Author's Note. This is book 7! Please feel free to hop on and enjoy! If you find you like my writing style, I hope you'll check out the first 6 books, all available to read on Kindle Unlimited, link below!) Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out! And I will continue to post chapters to Book 6 here first, until that tale is told! I hope you enjoy! And if you wanted to help support my work by checking out book 1 on Amazon, I would be extremely grateful!)

Will John’s edginess ruin the isekai? Why does the doctor have the highest kill-count in the game? Is 👑 really a valid character you could use for your username? Can the chef perform an exorcism?
