LOVE IT. I like the use of the lighting to symbolize head lights. The saying!!!! My HEART!!!
Sweet and straight to the point. States the topic and states the problem.
Some few problems. If you want this to be in the present you can't use past tense words. (found closer to the end of chap one) I left you some comments on things you should fix/ suggestions.
I was very confused when he started yelling and he splatted about his dad. We never heard anything about his dad before. I suggest you take that line about his dad out or add some where before the yelling, about his dad. What did his dad do that he'll bring it up.
When you say "I obviously can't tell her that I was at a bar." I would change this to something else. Like 'I obviously can't tell her I'm losing hope, I can't get a drink and now I can't get my smokes.' I used the word smokes, but weed would be the correct term since smokes is mostly signified as cigarettes.
Watch your sentence flow. You seem to one moment go from telling a story to short-stab-by-sen-ten-ces; see what I did there?

I see potential with this story. At first when I was reading the summary I was scared this was going to be like a John Green book, but it's not. Which I like. No story will ever be prefect, but a few touch ups and I think it will be good. I really like how at the end of the chapter you stated how you feel about the topic. I actually might read on (if I find the time 😭). I'm a hopeless romantic.

Within The Soul: Supremacy
After a series of unexpected and traumatic events, Matthew, a physicist from futuristic earth, found himself transmigrated into a new world. In this world, humans practice cultivation in order to gain power and survive against the beasts and demons that plague the lands. Now in the body of a youngster, Matthew uses his inquisitive mind to reconcile with this new reality soon discovering the potential his scientific knowledge holds. Follow him on his journey to power and immortality, answering old and new questions about the nature of the universe while he strives for unrestrained freedom. Notes 1: It is my first attempt at writing anything so any constructive advice is more than welcome. if your comment will be just to insult, don't do it, you will waste time typing and I will waste time reading it and not giving a damn about it. 2: To make it worse English is not my mother language. I'm still learning and through reading and talking is not a problem for me, writing is my weak spot. Though not the only one and not the most important, this is one of the reasons I decided to start writing this novel. 3: I do not own the artwork used as a cover, I found it on google, I liked it A LOT and decided to use it. At the time I tried to contact the creator but received no answer and if he wants me to remove it I will. With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy it and sorry if you don't :P.

The Third Spire
It has been decades since the Wizardly Order rose and helped the Realm to banish the monstruos Elfey from its lands by building the Five Spires. The kingdom has prospered greatly in the time since, advancing both in the magical arts and the more mundane technology. The Wizards have grown too, gaining influence and spreading throught the Realm, Wizards' Towers dotting the landscape on many regions. But as the Realm grows and starts looking beyond its borders, the Wizards are faced with one insidious enemy inside its own borders. Master Garner, a wizard in the scarcely populated far West of the Realm, feels the situation getting out of hand, and a violent purge forces him out of his beloved Tower. The wizard takes his apprentices and allies in search of uncertain safety in the Third Spire. Some sources of inspiration for this story, for variable reasons: Riyria Chronicles, The Wandering Inn, Gentleman Bastard series. Note: First dedicated attempt at writing. I'm looking for feedback, and I will appreciate if you point out any mistakes. Updates: Tuesday, and every other Thursday, as life allows it.
