《Unexpected》Gasoline On The Fire
Advertisement
A knock at the door brings me to my feet. I open the door to find Sonny's worried face.
"What's up, Skye? You said you wanna talk about something important?"
"Come on in."
He enters the apartment and sits on the arm of the couch.
"I don't want to give you the wrong impression or idea. I just want to clear the air. I don't think that we would be able to be together."
He doesn't seem phased by this statement. He actually smiles.
"You don't think I already that?"
"What do you mean?"
He laughs and crosses his arms, looking oddly relaxed.
"I see the way you and Gavin look at each other. You two are clearly meant for each other."
I don't know what to say or do. How do I even react to that? Yesterday it was Andy telling me a similar thing, now it's Sonny too? I shake my head, trying to clear it.
"Then why were we doing whatever it is we were doing?"
"If I have to make my brother jealous in order for him to realize the good thing he has, damn right I'm gonna do it. By showing interest in you, I only fueled his jealousy. Now let's just see what happens."
"So this was just an elaborate scheme to get Gavin and I together?"
He thinks a second before nodding.
"Pretty much."
"So what would you have done if I really did fall for you? What if I wasn't interested in Gavin at all?"
Sonny rolls his eyes. A car door slams in the parking lot outside.
"I've seen the way you two look at each other. There is no denying that you two have some form of chemistry."
Someone starts climbing the stairs to the apartment. Gavin must be home. Sonny realizes this too.

"Speaking of my brother..."
As if on cue, Gavin opens the door.
"I got pickles at the store."
His eyes land on Sonny and his face twists to anger.
"Need something, Sonny?"
He says Sonny's name with a bitter tone. This doesn't phase him.
"Yeah. Just coming to say hi to a beautiful lady, that's all."
Gavin's jaw ticks. I glance between the brothers, examining their expressions and evaluating the situation. I take that moment to throw gasoline on the fire. I wrap my arms around Sonny, kissing him on his cheek. When I pull away, Gavin is seething mad.
"Alright Sonny, you've overstayed your welcome. Leave. Now."
Anger is dripping off of every word he says. I smile on the inside. Sonny's right. Gavin IS jealous.
"'Ight. I'll see you later, baby."
Right in front of Gavin, Sonny grabs me and gives me a kiss that leaves me weak at the knees. He leaves, winking at Gavin.
When the door closes behind Sonny, Gavin storms out of the room. The bathroom door slams and the shower turns on.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

It is a story about a young girl that abruptly transmigrated into the body of another young girl (at least in appearance) in another world filled with Magic. She notices that she becomes a Dungeon Master and for a thousand years... she lives a lazy life. However, one day, she lost all of her power and she is kicked out of her Dungeon! And the world's changed that video games level and classes governed the power system of the new world! What will she do as a weak and fragile girl? Will she get her power back? How will she survive in the harsh world? Author's note: I will update daily if possible and each chapter is around 2,000 words. Gores, Sexual Contents, and Traumatising Contents are limited and I try my best not to write them. However, for the progress of the story, I can't help but write some of them in the latter part of the story. However, don't expect them too much ^_^ English is not my native language, so there might be grammatical errors (maybe a lot), but I'll try to fix them, so constructive critiques will be appreciated (^_^)
