《The Boy Who Read Minds ✔️》30:\\ Ethan
Advertisement
I stared at Ethan with warm eyes. I'd missed his company too much. I kissed him softly as he held me. He nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck, leaving soft kisses.
"Amelia, I want to marry you." He said against my neck. It was an impossible request. I was divorcing Dr. Crazy for this man and I really wasn't about to commit again. Especially when I hadn't even told Violet.
Dr. Dooley was at the lab again as he always was, working up a crazy concoction that he would be frustrated about each night when he came home and he's always, always take it out on us.
Except after he found out about Ethan, he wasn't coming home. I was grateful to have the home to myself.
I'd always been careful to keep my models away from him in case he decided to cheat on me with one of them when I was creating clothing items for them. But I was merely frying my fears and tossing them onto him. My insecurities of him cheating on me were fueled by me cheating on him without his knowledge.
*missing blurb*
I didn't care though. Our love was far gone years after Violet was born and we'd decided to stay together until our daughter turned 18. But we couldn't... it couldn't even last that long no matter how hard we tried. He was an absolute nightmare to live with.
We now lived separately thank goodness and I had Ethan sneaking in and out each weekend.
I heard the front door slam shut and I rushed down the stairs. I gave him an apologetic look on my way out.
"Violet." I said, my eyes widening. She had a boy standing beside her, too close for my taste, "Who is this?" I questioned.

"Aaron." She replied and grabbed his arm and walked right past me.
"Wait right there young lady. We do not bring random men into our home. Be a lady." I turned to face them.
"Explain the dude in your bed upstairs then, lady." Violet said, her gaze fiery as I stood there speechless.
"Violet," I reached for her arm as she quickly moved past me and rushed upstairs. "Boy, keep your hands off my daughter." I shouted.
"Yes ma'am." I heard a smooth voice say as a door slammed.
Infuriating, my dear innocent Violet had just brought a boy into the room. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. My innocent baby girl was grown up now I suppose.
I creeped up the stairs and sat beside her door, within moments, Ethan was beside me.
"What are you doing?" He chuckled, sitting beside me on the carpet.
"Violet brought a boy into her room and shut the door." I whispered as he laughed.
"Maybe you can bring a boy back into your room and he can show you what a man feels like." Ethan smirked as I looked up at him. Listening in on my daughter and her boyfriend was probably not the mature thing to do anyway. I stood up and walked back to my room, Ethan trailing behind me.

I'm Always Talking to Myself
My name is Zach. I’m a typical bland featureless protagonist type. The kind of guy who has purposefully few defining characteristics so that people can project whatever they want on me. Like Luke from Star Wars or what’s her name from Twilight. Most main characters are like me. Kind of flavorless blank slates because we all secretly doubt that we’re Harrison Ford, but pretty much anyone could be Mitt Romney. Yep. Yes indeed, I do spend basically my entire life running an internal dialog to no one. Usually I’m imagining that there are people listening. Like maybe philosophers from Ancient Greece, or researchers from another planet who act suspiciously like the characters from that Instagram comic with the aliens. Stupid Instagram comedians stealing my internal monologue and turning into a wildly successful enterprise which I would imagine has a vibrant merch dropshipping arm and hundreds of thousands of daily dopamine hits for loyal followers. I basically spend all of my time explaining random things to imaginary people (and aliens, and animals, and household items which have inexplicably gained sentience and frankly have some concerns about this whole existence thing). Honestly, it’s both highly entertaining to me, in that it makes me think about why we humans do all of the bizarre things that we do, but also horrifically exhausting and kind of makes you feel like you’re either, worst cast, losing your grip on reality, or best case, becoming Abed from Community. Anyway, I’m sure that I have some distinguishing characteristics, but, in the interest of hypnotic suggestion I’m choosing to omit them until I’m pretty sure that you have subconsciously come to identify with me, or until I feel like it. (By the way, in case I forgot to mention it, a higher power called Aww Thor or something told me to say that this is a slice-of-life comedy adventure and that it's set in a fantasy world with isekai and LitRPG elements.)

Activation
Will was a normal guy in his mid twenties, living in small town America. He was relatively aimless. Then he got struck by lightning. Waking up reminded him why falling asleep in strange places had stopped being a pleasant adventure for the next day, years before. Then, the crazy started. Life would never be the same, but he wasn't aimless anymore. Plus, you know, super powers are cool. Warning: There will be swearing and casual conversation about subjects that might have some people clutching their pearls. There will be dirty jokes. There will not be graphic depictions of sexual activity, or harem shenanigans, as I'm making my mother read this. That would be very uncomfortable.
