《YOUTH ⇢ BENNY WEIR》one
Advertisement
Sophia and her younger sister, Jane, were sat in front of the TV watching Jane's favourite film: Dusk. Sophia doesn't like the film at all, she says it's too "romantic and emo for her", but watches it nevertheless because she doesn't want to upset her younger sibling, who was engrossed in it, despite the fact everyone in the family had lost count of how many times she'd watched it.
Ethan, Sophia's younger brother and his dorky best friend: Benny, ran into the kitchen and dumped a load of candy onto the table. The thought of so much candy made her sick to her stomach.
"Look at all this! Did you rob an ice cream truck or something?" Ethan asked Benny.
"Tomorrow we officially join the high school brotherhood." Benny said. "We are men."
Sophia scoffed at Benny's statement, got up and sat opposite him. "What are you two geeks doing?"
"We're making it the Sunday to end all Sunday's!" Ethan replied, eagerly eyeing the candy.
"That's disgusting."
"What is?" Benny asked, with a mouth already full of junk.
I leaned back and shivered. "Nevermind."
"Remember when you put 176 of these in your mouth?" Ethan asked Benny, holding up a large packet of marshmallows.
"It was 186!"
"No, I did 172, you did 176." Ethan argued.
"You barely hit 150!"
They both looked at each other for a moment before diving at the packet of candy, trying to open it. "It's mine!" Benny announced.
"Remember to count them!" Ethan ordered.
"Hey, Ethan, Sophia, do you hear that?" Jane asked us.
Sophia's head snapped towards Jane before listening intently. She shook her head. "No, do you hear anything Eth-" she cut herself off once she looked at her nerd of a brother with his mouth full of marshmallows. He ignored us and carried on mumbling something to Benny.

Jane stood up and spoke to her teddy. "Teenagers really are dumb."
Sophia was too focused on Ethan and Benny and didn't realise Jane left the room. They kept mumbling stuff to each other, she was pretty certain not even they couldn't understand what they were saying.
The teenagers stopped what they were doing once they heard Jane scream and immediately got up and ran to the door.
"Ethan! Sophia!" The siblings looked at each other with panic before running outside, followed by Benny.
Ethan spat out his marshmallows. "Hey... you're home early."
"Hi mom..." Sophia said.
Benny, who was stood behind the siblings, awkwardly waved before scratching the back of his head, his mouth still full of marshmallows.
"How was date night?" Sophia asked them.
Their parents didn't look happy. Sophia and Ethan's dad comforted Jane whilst their mom looked at her as if she was about to murder them and they knew that was not a good sign.
Ethan looked back at Benny who managed to grin just a little.
We're screwed. Sophia thought to herself.

8 153The Dungeon of Evolution
The greatest mage and researcher in the universe, Ian Irwin, known to only his closest friends died at far too young an age. For their own goals and to give the mage another chance at life, the Gods and Goddesses reincarnated him into a dungeon. Most would shudder at the thought, in fact Ian did, but not for the same reasons. The plants, animals, fungi, and monsters that inhabited dungeons fascinated Ian in a way nothing besides his wife had. Ian had studied everything he could about dungeons and now he could be one. Traumatising Content: Besides the purpose of dungeons, the presenting of evil morals as a positive is not present in this novel. Evil morals themselves, however, are present. Combined with the gore tag, there will be imagery present that could be considered traumatising. The absence of the sexual content tag means there will be no scenes of that nature. I, the author, apologize to any previous readers that, due to my previous clarification, read the story with the belief that scenes of disturbing imagery would not be present.
8 212Menastel's Guide to World Travel
World travel is a tragic mess. It is outlined by misunderstanding and a blindness to risk. Few are aware of the danger and fewer are equipped to face it. House Caelum was unfortunately neither as they escaped their dying world, the once powerful clan scattered across the ethereal. Sidrick and his eldest sister Layla find themselves on Linea, a world ruled by monsters the size of small cities and the men that can match them. To rebuild their House and survive in their new home, they'll need to get much, much stronger.
8 195Edge of the Storm
A thousand years after narrowly escaping extinction, humanity still fights for survival on the fringe of space. On the alien, hostile world of Deana, Taro is tasked with dealing a mortal blow to an enemy that has pursued the last dregs of the human species across light years. From the Wild Summer hyper-carrier, Taro must strike out at an enemy that seems like it would stop at absolutely nothing to ensure humanity's time in the universe draws to an end. The key to it all is Valerie, a human bred super-weapon, and the discovery she makes aboard the enemy craft Delirium. What to expect from Edge of the Storm: You will find here a slow burning story that is punctured by moments of high flying action, intense mecha battles, gory hand-to-hand combat, tough decisions and sacrifices. What you won't find are black and white morals, harems, cute girls, big boobs, or anything else that might bring me troves of readers. You have been warned. Update schedule: Saturdays (and maybe Wednesdays).
