shelves breathe me in and i sink into a chair, the hard wood soft as it shapes to my spine.
i must read.
i don't know how to live if i don't.
every night i make the journey from the dungeons to the library - i hate the cold.
i despise it.
why couldn't they have made the snakes pit heated? warming our scales so we can coil in comfort?
did they forget serpents are cold blooded?
we won't burn - we never will.
i hate the cold - so i find refuge in the warm candles of the library.
i must read.
not during the day - not in the harsh light of the sun. i know i say i hate cold but i don't like the sun either.
it doesn't make sense - i like it that way.
so i make my nightly commune - i sit up late - by back always hurts - but i like to keep the moon company.
he's so lonely.
i must inquire what the pages tell me, they whisper their words in lines of black ink - staining my mind and i love it.
i'll read anything, truly.
i've never hated a book - if one does not satisfy me, i find another - if i hate the ending, i take a new one - if the message is poor, a another title it is.
even if i don't understand what the ink is trying to tell me, i listen and watch and let the ink stain me.
there's a breath - hot - heavy - distant - somewhere else in the shelves.
i stiffen but then hear the snap of a match - i know its you.
usually i don't like people in my library - yes, mine - it may reside in hogwarts and it might be open to all - but it's mine.

you're alright though, i suppose.
you're quiet and you appreciate and you let the ink stain you too, i can tell.
i don't think you ever see me, that's alright - i don't want you to talk to me anyhow.
you're a book i have yet to read, the pages filled with riddle's i probably won't ever grasp.
when i watch you read - study - smoke - write - stretch - read - exhale - you never yawn - study - i can tell when you pour over the pages, the world's axis tips and reality is different for you.
i can tell.
you don't see the world like anyone else - not even me, i suppose.
i see the world in white slates and black lines.
you're calm - still - as i watch you.
a new habit of mine, i like watching your conviction.
smoke - read - write - smoke - stretch - you turn.
i stare, dumbly might i add like a child caught on christmas.
curiosity and amusement tilts your brow and you lean back in your seat, trying to see into my shadows.
hello?
should i reply?
we've been acquainted strangers for awhile now.
i know the idea of you - tom riddle, head boy, mr perfect - but not you - do i want to?
we've muttered quick and forgetful greetings over the years - perhaps a few silent sorry's if we happened to bump into each other in the hall - even perhaps a thank you or two at one of slughorn's dinners.
i stare a bit longer - gazing - my eyes burn - i see ink in yours.
yes, i want to know you.
hi.

Master of the Loop
Life in a fantastical world didn’t add up to everything Sylas thought it would be. There were no pretty ladies goading him, there were no overpowered items and abilities tossed his way, and there was no calm and peace. Instead, he was tossed directly into a hellhole some few hours before it was to be invaded. That was it, he figured. His fantasy adventure in another world would be a short-lived one. He’d die and that would be it. Except... You have died. A ‘Save Point’ discovered. Loading… You will be returned to the ‘Initial Save’ point.
8 185The Last Watcher
The Abyss Watchers. Once fully dedicated to hunting the Abyss, now cursed to fight their own members forever. One day though, while they are attacked by a mysterious warrior, a single Abyss Watcher is suddenly pulled through a tear in reality, transported to a new world. A world with a strange thing called a leveling system. Current update schedule: Tuesday 10:00 PM NZT Idea I had of an Abyss Watcher from Dark Souls 3 being transported into a LitRPG world. You don't have to know any of the lore from Dark Souls to understand this, however if you want to know more about the lore just google it or something, I can't stop you But it's not like it will be very useful in this story as I plan to not be focused on Dark Souls Lore. As a side note for those reading this while it is ongoing, I will occasionally go back to previous chapters and sometimes add certain elements to the skills and leveling. Not to worry though as I will tell you as to what I have edited in the authors notes, so be sure to pay attention to those when they appear as they may contain information required for continued understanding. Also, if you decide to drop this book then please leave a comment on the chapter you stopped on and tell me what made you stop.
8 196The Villainess Always Dies (I'm screwed!)
==Currently being rewritten== Thank you commenters for all the advice you've given. I decided to go back and rewrite and add several chunks to the first half of the story before starting the school arc. :) Update: Chapters 1-4 are edited. There will be an additional arc added later.... Not quite sure how that's going to work out with what's already there but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'll get revenge on my own terms! After experiencing near-death from the plague, Lucina Maelle remembers her previous life as a teenage girl with a heart condition. That girl's favorite video game? Dragon Fantasy XXIV. And who is the wicked villainess from that game, who suffers a horrific death at the hands of the hero? She is! With that knowledge in mind, the solution is simple-- just don't become a villainess. Easier said than done, for even the gods protest her desire for a virtuous life. No matter how Lucina attempts to thwart her future, to ensure justice is achieved, she must go down the path of villainy. Thus, the only solution is to become the ultimate villainess! First, find Valerian, her favorite character who is voiced by her favorite voice actor. He's a part of the hero's party but so long as she meets him first, she knows she can turn him over to her side! Second, become so strong that the hero's party has no chance of defeating her. Third, await the events of the game to begin and spit in the face of gods and fate!Updates Tuesday and Saturday
