Jonathan was confused. What had just happened? He had stood up to Tommy and Steve. Had that really happened, or had it just been a dream? He walked, he didn't know where to. Suddenly, he was aware that Nancy was following him. He stopped and turned towards her.
"Look, Nancy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.. I didn't know why I did it, please forgive me. I understand if you hate me.."
Jonathan said. He didn't dare look her in the eyes.
"I'm not mad.. Just.. Thank you" She said. She had tears in her eyes, he saw.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"I don't know.. I don't really want to go back to school."
"Me neither. I don't usually skip school, but if you want to you can come home with me, you know, until you feel a little better. I understand if you don't want to"
"No. I mean.. I want to" Nancy said.
Jonathan was stunned. They walked back to his house together, none of them saying any more.
Will was at school and Joyce was working, so there was no one at home.
"You want anything do drink? I think we've got a soda somewhere" Jonathan offered.
"Sure. Thanks" Nancy said and this time, she smiled a little, that wonderful, beautiful smile of hers.
Jonathan fetched them two coke's and they sat down on the couch. For a little while, none of them said anything. Suddenly, Nancy said: "Jonathan?"
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry."
"About what? You have nothing to be sorry for. I'm sorry, too" Jonathan said.
"No, it was all my fault.. Everything, with Steve and all."
"Steve. Yeah. Do you love him?" Jonathan asked. The question surprised them both.
Jonathan immediately regretted asking. He was about to apologize to her, when Nancy said: "I thought I did. But I suppose I don't. He's been a real jerk, not at least to you, and I'm so sorry for that. You don't deserve that. You're great."

"Really?" Jonathan asked, his cheeks suddenly warm.
"Yeah. I like you." Nancy said. Now she was looking at him.
"Thanks. I like you too."
For a while they just sat there in silence. Then they started talking about stuff that they liked, music, movies. After a while, Nancy said that she probably needed to go home, so she did. It had been the best day Jonathan had had in a long time.

The World Inside a Dream
Lucius, a simple seventeen-year-old student, had a dream of another world that sparked his interest. The dream seemed to be no ordinary dream. Lucius could move without problem, use all five of his senses to their full potential, and fully remember what happened. But when he encountered a massive, strange flower, his life was changed forever. What seemed to be a normal dream turned out to be something much, much deeper than what he thought. cover: https://nz.pinterest.com/pin/568157309227029694/ *Any and all things in this story are a work of fiction.

8 399Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
