Nico di Angelo's P.O.V
"Let's go already!!!" Shadow yelled at me. I rolled my eyes, but started the car. "Tell the two lovebirds to sit two inches apart from each other." Shadow tried to pry the two off of each other, but failed. Clarissa was sitting next to me and everything was running smoothly.
"Where exactly is this... matchmaking company thingy?" Clarissa asked. "It's close to the empire state building." She nodded.
"Okay." She muttered and sank back into her seat. "Clare, help me tear these two apart." She sighed, but did so. "Tickle Andy's left ear. She punches anyone who does that."
"You want me to get punched? You're such a good friend, Clara." Shadow said, rolling her eyes. Clare groaned. "When she punches you, she let's go of Cole." Shadow nodded.
"Here goes nothing." Shadow muttered.
She tickled Andy's left ear and Andy let go of Cole's arm. Shadow quickly moved her over and occupied the space Andy used to sit in.
"Hey!" Andy yelled. She glared at Shadow and punched her arm. "Thanks, Shadow. If it weren't for you, I would still be clinging onto Cole!" Shadow said, rolling her eyes. "You're welcome!"
Clarissa groaned and rubbed her temples. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked her. She nodded weakly. "Yeah, I'm just having a headache."
"Okay, you should get some rest then." She nodded and closed her eyes.
I sighed and tried to block Andy's screeching at Shadow.

Clarissa Walker's P.O.V
I quickly fell asleep and the dreams began...
I was back at my old neighborhood playground. I looked around the deserted area and exhaled.
"Clare... Clare...", said a little girl's sing-song voice. "Who's there?" I asked.

The voice giggled. "Don't tell me you forgot about me..." I felt my breathing turn uneven. She giggled again. "You promised, Clara."
I know that voice. It's... I-It's... "Violet."
Violet appeared in front of me. She wore the baby pink dress she used to wear when she was younger. "Ahhh, so now you remember me, Clara?"
"What do you want?" I asked her. "Something," She replied. "only you can give me."
I glared at her. "What is it?" I asked. She smiled a sickly sweet smile. "Sweet, sweet vengeance."
In a flash, she was next to me holding a small pocket knife. She cut my arm. I hissed and grabbed my arm.
"You little bitch!" I yelled at her. She slashed against my same arm again. "You think this is enough? No. It isn't."
She moved back to the spot she was in earlier. "Goodbye, Clara. For now..." She giggled and skipped away.
The image of the place blurred and I woke up.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
"Clara! Are you okay?" Andy screamed. I looked around my surroundings and I was back in the car. "W-What happened?" I asked them.
Nico sighed. "You were having a nightmare. You kept on mumbling things and hissing." I nodded.
"Oh, okay." Nightmare? But it felt so real. And... Violet... How? Why?
I touched the spot on my arm where she cut me. I flinched. Huh?
I checked my arm and there were two cuts on them. W-What? "Clare, you're hurt." Nico said. He ran his cold fingers on the two cuts. I flinched again.
"How did these happen?" He asked. I shrugged. "I don't know." Lie.
"Hmm..." He said. "Are you sure you're okay?" Nico asked. I nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure."

"Are you sure you're sure?" Andy asked. I sighed. "Yes."
"Are you sure you're sure you're sure?" Shadow asked. I groaned. "Yes! I know when I'm okay!" I yelled.
"Sheesh..." Shadow said, before sitting back into her seat.
"Are we there yet?" Andy asked. "No." Nico said.
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
"Are we there yet."
"No."
"Are w-"
"No, no, no, no, no, no, and NO!" Nico said.
I rolled my eyes at them. "Hey, Nico." Shadow said to him. "Yeah." He said.
"You have a vain sticking out your forehead." I laughed at that. "Hahahah!" I pointed my finger at him and continued to laugh.
"Shut up." He said. He glared both at Shadow and I.
"Hey Cole," Andy began. "Yes?"
"Why does a seagul fly over the sea?" She asked him. He shrugged. "Because if it flew over the bay it would be called a bagel!" Cole cracked a smile and Shadow shook her head disapprovingly. "That was not a joke." She said.
Andy crossed her arms over her chest. "Well, what is?"
"Knock, knock."
"Who's there?"
"Broken pencil."
"Broken pencil who?"
"Ahh, never mind. It was a pointless joke." Shadow busted out laughing at her own joke. Andy rolled her eyes. "That was horrible." Andy said.
"You're just jealous." Shadow said.
They're voices became muffled as my thoughts began to wander off to my dream.
What was she doing in my dream? Isn't she supposed to be Aunt Carly? Why did she want revenge? Why did she cut me? What happened? Why did I call her a bitch?
All these different questions surrounded my head. It gave me a headache. "Guys? Somethings feels off." Nico said.
"What is it?" Cole asked. "It's like, I can feel another presence. Someone else is here." They started to look around the car for another person.
"We don't see anyone." Shadow said.
"It's a ghost." Now that he mentioned it, I feel something else too. "Why?"
"I'm not sure..."

Suddenly, a succubus
The protagonist is a personality like an iceberg: introspective, asocial and completely uninterested in the world and its people beyond necessity. Approaching ships beware! A succubus, on the other hand, lives for desire and interaction, playing mortal hearts like a fiddle. These clearly mix like oil and water, so what do you get when you combine them? This is a story of that kind of emulsion. *** Completed with 62 chapters + epilogue (total of 111k words). *** This novel is bit of an experiment for me. I haven't written fiction before, for one. I also chose a character context that I normally wouldn't, and let the characters drive the story, especially in the beginning. Overall the main focus will be the main character's own story rather than the events of the world. The setting itself uses many familiar fantasy elements, though I plan to add my own twists. Note that I'm not really planning to write any steamy scenes, despite the said character context being literal demons of lust and all. There are of course jokes and scenes that skirt around the subject, but this is not a romance story of any kind. So, is it a mess? Probably. But I hope it's an entertaining one at that.

"The hell? Where am I?"[System reboot][Loading...][I'm your land survival system, you are the owner of this new frogezoid body][Feed me points, and I'll show you the secrets of survival with the aid of body upgrades]"Hmmm... well this is interesting."
8 85Restarting life as a peasant
This is a kingdom building story with deep moral questions. A person who has been fallen into hopelessness in his previous life gets a new chance at life in a fantasy medieval world. He isn’t from first world countries. His first life wasted fighting noble but hopeless causes like fighting against corruption. When he restarts as a peasant he decides not to fight evil, just join the flow. Although he starts as a peasant one thing is sure he will become great and powerful. But will he become a hero or villain?
8 202Inertia
A man is summoned to another world by a goddess after completing the nigh impossible final boss of a game. However, this world isn't your typical fantasy world. Though it has magic, it is set far into the future where technology reigns, and magic itself is just a finely-tuned science. How will our hero survive in a galaxy that looks down upon humans? One where his race, which once reigned supreme, is treated like trash along the roadside. Will he, with his diverse crew, be able to save the galaxy while fixing the hostility between the races?

8 91The Tale of a Fenrir
Zack was average. The only thing that can be considered abnormal was that he lacks the empathy of a normal human. One day, disater struck and his home burned down. He fell victim to the flames and died. But that isn't the end of his story, as for an unknown reason he was reincarnated as a little puppy. Watch him as he uncovers the truth behind his reincarnation. Don't expect much from the grammar, because english isn't my mother tongue (but please be free to point out major grammar errors). The Cover also isn't mine, so if you are the drawer message me, if you want it to be removed.
8 142Unraveling Secrets
Left in the middle of the fields was a mangled body. The person lying on the ground and on death's door was Kan Lock. He lied down and awaited for the beasts and monsters to come and ravage his body. Feeling hopeless in this situation Kan thought to himself, "Why am I always so weak? Why was I betrayed? Why did it end like this? Will I never know the reason for my parents' disappearance? Why? Why!? WHY!? As his body turned cold, Kan was left with regrets and unaswered questions but he resisted. He didn't want to die with regrets so he fought against death. He stood up and faced off against the hungry predators. He laughed and laughed in the face of death but in the end it didn't matter how much he struggled. Kan Lock had died but his story had not ended.
