"Please tell me you're kidding", Isaac whined through the phone "I can't get all of you food and keep it hot. Can't you just at least join? Like let's meet up at one house so you can all have your food hot and nobody shouts at me?" It sounded like a question and it hurt Stiles to think that someone shouted at Isaac. This boy had gone through enough already. "That's fine with me. Will the others come over or are we going to another house?", Stiles smiled through the phone and he could hear Isaac letting out a breath. "We'll meet up at Scott's?", Isaac suggested as he was living there at the moment. "Sounds good to me. We will be there in about fifteen minutes I guess", Stiles told him and gestured for Derek to stand up. "Thank you", Isaac said relieved and hung up. "We're going over to Scott's", Stiles announced "so Isaac doesn't need to drive to three different houses". Derek growled silently. "Woah, what's wrong, sourwolf?", Stiles asked surprised at his reaction "you like your pack, remember?" "I also really like to kiss you", Derek stated and created one of those sweet smiles on Stiles' face that he liked so much. He leant down to kiss Stiles but soon pulled back. Stiles still made a kiss mouth and had his eyes closed, when Derek's lips left his. "Wha-what?", Stiles raised his eyebrows and opened one eye. "I also like to live", Derek shrugged "and I think when your dad who just woke up comes down to us kissing, he might shoot me in the head multiple times". Stiles took in a sharp breath "you might not be wrong with that". Derek took a few steps away from the sofa Stiles was still sitting on just to be sure. "Hey dad", Stiles waved at his father. The sheriff smiled at him tiredly. "Hey son, how's your face doing?" "It hurts but I feel okay with the painkillers", Stiles explained "oh, dad, we're heading over to Scott's. Are you working today?" "Not if there is nothing bad happening today", the sheriff made it sound like a question. "Oh no we're just hanging out, nothing supernatural going on right now", Stiles clarified. "Right now?", the sheriff asked done. "Oh no need to worry.....now", Stiles grinned at him apologetically. The sheriff just nodded and rolled his eyes. "I haven't cooked so I guess you have to order something for dinner", Stiles smiled at his dad whose face lit up. "So no healthy food today?", he asked just to be sure. "It's your day off. Go wild", Stiles laughed and got up. "I am gonna change and then we can head out", Stiles said to Derek and hurried up the stairs. "Derek", the sherrif nodded at him as he hadn't greeted him yet "you are gonna watch out for him, right?" "Of course", Derek said immediatly. The sheriff smiled at him as Stiles already came down the stairs. "Bye dad, enjoy your day off", Stiles yelled putting on his jacket. Derek did the same and soon they headed out the door, the sheriff smirking at them knowingly.

"Oh my god, Stiles, what happened to your face?", Melissa asked in shock when she opened the door for Stiles and Derek. "Umm...", Stiles tried to avoid the ugly truth. "It was Scott, wasn't it?", Melissa rolled her eyes unnerved. Stiles nodded, feeling like he betrayed Scott, although he was the one with a bruise on his face. "Scott McCall get your ass down here right now!", Melissa yelled up the stairs. Soon Scott came running down. "What have I done wro...oh", he said as he saw Stiles "it was an accident. I didn't mean to shoot him in the face". Melissa's eyes got wide while Scott tried to explain the situation. "You shot him?!", she threw up her hands in exaggeration "you know he doesn't heal like you do. You are supposed to take care of him, not hurt him". Scott looked at the floor ashamed. He didn't want to disappoint his mum, or Stiles. "I am sorry", he whispered sadly. "You already said that yesterday", Stiles smiled at his best friend "also I have a walking painkiller". He turned around to look at Derek who sighed. "I used to be the alpha, now I am a walking painkiller. That's just awesome", he said. Melissa laughed and patted Stiles shoulder. "I'm glad you're okay", she said then said her goodbye and headed out to work. They got in and went into the living room, settling down. "Weren't you supposed to take care of Allison?", Stiles asked. "Yeah, Aiden and Lydia pick her up. She slept until an hour ago", Scott told them "do you need anything for your face?" "Yeah that would be nice", Stiles nodded and received some frozen blueberries from Scott. Soon after the bell rang again and Allison, Lydia and Aiden entered the house. The girls hugged Stiles and settled down across from him. "You look...", Allison started struggling to find the right words. "Blue?", Lydia finished for her. "Thank you?", Stiles looked at them confused. "You're still good looking tho", she said and shrugged smiling at him. "I was told", he mumbled smirking, watching Derek from the corner of his eye. "What?", Allison asked, because she couldn't understand him. "Oh nothing", Stiles smiled at her innocently and she smiled back at him. "Does it hurt bad?", she then asked. "Scott tried to kill me a few times before, that's not the worst", Stiles joked. "It wasn't on purpose", Scott rolled his eyes trying to defend himself and made the others laugh in the process. The doorbell rang again and Isaac and Ethan arrived with their food. They put it on the table and settled down themselves. Isaac sitting next to Stiles and handing him his burger. "Thanks", Stiles smiled at him. Isaac looked at him confused. "What?", Stiles asked him. "You smell like Derek", he said, catching Stiles off guard, he was glad that Isaac spoke silently. "He is living with me, Isaac", Stiles told him the truth, if not the whole. "Yeah, right", Isaac nodded, remembering, but he didn't seem completely convinced that this was all. Stiles let out a breath and then bit in his oh so awaited hamburger.

The Forbidden Class
Hatred. Lust. Power. There are many reasons why the Forbidden Classes are chosen. For Katai, a young village Guard, the reason was simple. Vengeance. Schedule I’ve not been able to write for quite some time now, so while I’m getting back into things the schedule will be nonexistent. Story details LitRPG - expect classes and skills and magic. Not a lot of stats/number-crunching though. There is slavery featured in this story, which a lot of people have been upset about. So here’s your fair warning. Skill levels and progression inspired by Azarinth Healer. Let me know what you think, and feel free to give me some constructive criticism. Please be nice about it though!

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
