Lena's POV
"So, how are you? You weren't in a good place when we last saw each other." I struggled to maintain eye contact with my monstrosity of a mother.
"I was in a good place. A morally good place. That's why you don't see it as good because you are a monster."
"It wasn't my fault Lex died!" She raised her voice and stepped forward half defensively and half threateningly.
"Yes, it was. Your actions got him killed. You sent him into the line of fire, into the bomb that was inside his car. He was taken to our hospital, dying. Kara tried so hard to save him. She almost did save him but because of your stupidity, he is dead!" I yelled, trying to maintain a calm stature until she would leave me to my pity but I was failing.
"Lena, don't tell me that it's my fault. If it weren't for you leaving our plan, I wouldn't have had to put him in danger."
"So now it's my fault because I wanted to be a doctor instead of a criminal?"
"I am not a criminal. I am more like Robin Hood."
"Oh, yeah, Very much like Robin Hood. 'Steal from the rich and give to the self'." I turned and sat back down at my desk. "I have a lot of paperwork to do. You can leave the same way you came in." I pointed at the door but she didn't move, she just looked at me.
"I'm sorry to do this, Lena," She said sarcastically. I gasped when a dart hit my shoulder. My vision went blurry and I struggled to keep my eyes open. The last thing I saw was my mother's smile and the last sound I heard was her villainous laugh.

I woke in a bed that was shaking violently. I quickly realised that I was in some sort of vehicle. I sat up and looked around, memorising the room before pretending to go back to sleep as quick because I could after I heard the door open. I shut my eyes tightly and faced the wall as the loud footsteps made their way towards me. They stopped at what I estimated about a metre from where I was.
"Lena, wake up!" A hoarse voice yelled, making me jump. I faked waking up and rolled over, facing the angry man.
"Hank. Can't say I have missed you." My head started pounding and I blinked a few times. I put my hand to my head instinctively but Hank obviously caught onto this based on his next.
"You're going to have a headache for a while. The drug your mother gave you is a nasty one. You haven't changed a bit..." He started but before he could finish, I jumped up and leapt on to him, knocking him to the ground. I punched him multiple times, thanking the lord that my devil of a mother had forced me to take 'self-defence' lessons. I jumped up and stared at the unconscious man on the floor, wondering why in the world my mother hired this guy.
Then I ran out the door to find a hallway that went both ways. I decided to go left and I ended up at a door that led me outside. I felt my eyes widen and my breath was taken from me as I stared out into the sea. I followed the deck of the ship around until I reached where I could see where the ship was docked, I ran to it and jumped into the sea near the dock. I didn't want to risk being seen. When I hit the water, I immediately blacked out and dreamt of a certain blonde angel.

Dragonheart Core
To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death. The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes, curled on his silver throne; but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises, screaming, and chases the thief to the ends of the world—only to be shot from the sky. But dragons do not die easy, and never one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse. If he intends to survive so near the cove of pirates that slew his past self, he'll need to master his powers—and quickly. For these pirates are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders. Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core will have to fight to survive; and one day, he will return death to the man who killed him. Updates twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday at 1 pm EST!

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
