"Little girl, why are you crying? Are you lost?" A little boy asked her.
"No, I am not lost." She immediately wiped her tears away and looked at the owner of the voice.
The voice came from a cute little boy about two to three years older than her. This boy is together with the cute little girl of the same age as Beatrix.
"I am sorry but who are you?" Beatrix immediately asked. She is not familiar with these two children.
"I am Alrick Martell and this is my sister, Erica Martell. We are Minister Martell's children." The little boy immediately replied. He smiled shyly to little Beatrix while the little girl named Erica smiled too.
"I am Beatrix Lamoreaux, General Ardor's daughter and Prime Minister Aaron's granddaughter." She introduced herself and smiled at the two children in front of her.
Little Prince Andrew excitedly checked for the result but his smile and excitement immediately vanished when he realized that his expectation is very different from reality! He saw his little Beatrix happily smiling and talking to a little eyesore! He is curious about the two children talking with Beatrix so he immediately asked his servants to investigate their background. That was how he knew about their identities.
After he realized that the plan did not work as expected and backfired miserably contrary to what was promised to him, he immediately sold the manservant as a slave to Cloud Empire! He wants to apologize to her and make it up to her but she would not properly talk to him! He tried talking to Beatrix during their study and eating sessions but she only reminded him that the Emperor and Empress ordered for both of them to concentrate on learning or eating and then she continued ignoring him...

He tried to approach her several times during her free time but she always made excuses and meet with Alrick and Erica! She seemed very happy spending her free time with them so he thickened his face and approached them, making it appear as if it was just a mere coincidence.
Beatrix introduced him to Alrick and Erica. After that, she ignored him again and continued talking to Alrick and Erica. He tried to integrate himself into their topic but he felt that Beatrix and Alrick seemed to have their own world and he was left alone instead!
The situation seemed very annoying and awkward to him but he also does not want to leave her alone with Alrick! He gritted his teeth secretly and accidentally looked in Erica's direction. He noticed that Erica seems to be looking at him and stop talking with her brother and Beatrix. She seems to want to start a conversation with him but is too shy to start the conversation on her own.
Little Prince Andrew considered his situation for a moment. He does not want to continue sitting there awkwardly like he is not there at all but he also does not want to leave and express his negative emotions so he started talking to Erica instead. Now, he has an excuse to stay longer! The once becomes twice, thrice, and several times...
Many years passed by, Beatrix and Alrick are usually seen together playing chess, roaming the palace garden, discussing politics, current events, and even random things while Prince Andrew is usually seen with Erica because he is always secretly spying on Beatrix and Alrick while Erica seems to like tagging along with him no matter how many times he asked her to leave him alone! He seemed to have grown a tail!

When Prince Andrew could not take it anymore, he confronted her to make things clear between them.
"Erica, do you like me?" He directly asked her since he does not want to beat around the bush and waste his time.
"Yes, Your Highness! Since the first time I saw you, I already fell in love with you." Erica immediately confessed her true feelings with blind expectation in her eyes.
Without them knowing, Beatrix accidentally overheard Prince Andrew's question and Erica's answer. She smiled as she finally found the perfect pawn for her scheme...
Do not thank me, Erica! I am doing you a great favor! You like the bully so I will serve you the bully!
Beatrix immediately went away. She did not want to hear their cheesy love confession or see their disgusting lovey-dovey acts afterward! She believed that she heard enough and she will just give them a nice push to free herself so she did not hear the continuation of their serious conversation...
"Erica, I do not want to lead you on and make you misinterpret and misunderstand everything. I am sorry but I do not feel the same way towards you. I already love someone else and my whole heart is fully owned by her so I intend to marry only her!" He bluntly informed Erica.

Ortus (Old Version)
This is an old version of the heavily edited and rewritten Ortus This is the story of a woman named Riza. Riza is a woman who wakes up in a forest with nothing, remembering nothing, and on the cusp of death. The only thing she has is a weapon stuck in her side and, after a tangle with a wild boar, something called 'life aspect'. Little does she know that life magic is considered a dead-end branch and is largely outlawed across the world. None of this matters to her, of course. For one, even if someone tried to tell her, she doesn't know the language. Number two, have you heard about the sunk cost fallacy? Riza is not some chosen one, nor is given any boon she doesn't deserve. Instead, she's smart and methodical, and experiements on how to maximise every opportunity, every ability, presented to her. She doesn't just take things at face-value but instead explores just what limitations there are. This often involves maths.

(First take on writing something so please be easy on me. I plan on including different elements I feel will make a good story like leveling, stats boxes, spells, reincarnation, betrayal, and so much more. I prefer to do some background building while also balancing character development to deliver a good story so be prepared. I'm planning to write this novel for a long time while also adapting and learning to become better at it. Feedback will be appreciated and if editing is needed I will do my best.) Posting Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and possibly Sundays. Thanks from ianwest!

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.
