Alexander's POV
"Come on Alexander, please?!" She begged and begged, it was starting to really grate on my nerves and wear thin. Sitting down at my desk across from her, I let out a loud sigh. "Please, please, please?!"
"Parker, enough!" I yelled, startling her a little bit. Guilt instantly struck me the second I saw a flash of fear run over her features. My frown was replaced with a sympathetic smile and I called her over to sit on my lap. "Come here." She did immediately and I picked her up, placing her on my knee.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to anger you." I rolled my eyes playfully at her when she pouted. Damn this girl knows how to work my heartstrings.
"What have you been told about going into the human realm without me or your brothers?" I asked resting my elbow on the desk infront of me, supporting my chin on my fist.
"I was bored in the castle, I wanted to go out!"
"Well, I could always call father and send you home if my castle is too boring for you?" She shook her head quickly at my threat, panicking. Once again, I felt bad, but she needs to learn that her behavior today was unacceptable. "If you wanted to go out, you should've just asked. But no, instead you broke the rules."
"No, please, I'm sorry! Don't send me back, don't even tell him! I won't do it again!"
"Fine." I sighed, defeated, although I wasn't really protesting my case that hard. "Tell me about this female human then?"
This was the only reason Parker had come to see me, instead of just running to her room when she had come home. Normally, she would never bring to my attention that she had knowingly broken the rules and left the realm alone. But apparently, on her travels, she had met something that she just had to tell me about.

"Oooo, she is beautiful! Her hair is so long and soft, and her eyes are like marbles." I raised my eyebrows at her description. Marbles? "She is only 17 too. So young and already so pretty."
"Sounds like you know alot about her. Did you talk to her?"
"Yes."
"Why!?" My annoyance started to spike again. So, not only did she break the most important rule I have, she also broke the second most important rule. No, this can't stand!
"She was sat all alone, I didn't tell her anything-"
"That isn't the point Parker! Do you know how dangerous it is out there? How unsafe it is for someone like us, for someone like you?!"
I picked her up off of my lap and set her on her feet again, waving her away.
"You must NEVER talk to a human," I yelled at her, not caring that tears had begun to sting her eyes. She needed to learn! "Get out of my sight. Now!"
She didn't move an inch, instead she just looked up at me, arms folded protectively across her chest. Her bottom lip quivering. I couldn't look at her anymore, I didn't want to. "Fang?!" Within seconds, my younger brother was stood in the doorway.
"Whats wrong?" He asked.
"Take Parker to get something to eat, and keep her out of my sight!" I waved them off again and turned in my chair until I was sure they had left. I could hear Parker crying as she ran out of the room, seconds later the door slammed shut.
I'll deal with that mess a little later. Right now, I had to go find that human filth and deal with her. God knows what Parker has said to her.

I walked over to the door, grabbing my leather jacket off the coat rack on the way out of the room.
"Cinders?!" I roared loudly. It only took mere seconds for her to appear around the corner as she headed towards me, looking a little flushed.
"I'm here Master." I grabbed hold of her arm roughly and pulled her to me, ignoring her sudden gasp of surprise.
"I'm going out. I have something I need to address. However, I need some stress relief, be in my chambers for when I get back." I ordered and let her go with a small shove. I was about to turn and leave when:
"But, I-"
"Excuse me?!" How dare she even open her mouth to protest. Turning back around to look at her, I stormed back to where she stood.
"I'm sorry, of course, I will be waiting for you." She started trying to correct the situation, but too little too late. She realized her mistake and lowered her head.
"Be naked and on the bed." It was far from a request, but she nodded regardless. "Good, you will have tomorrow morning off, get someone to cover your duties. I think you'll be rather tired and sore when I'm finished with you tonight." She nodded quickly once again, but now the smell of fear filled the air.
Breathing in deeply, taking in the amazing aroma, I grinned.
With nothing more than a click of my fingers, I was gone.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.
8 404Archon
Since the late 19th Century, humanity has been pushing itself at a breakneck pace towards a single convergence of technology and development.

After five years of research, college student Adrian Pierce manages to crack the code first and create the world's first robust artificial intelligence in the year 2016. Disgusted by society as it is, especially governing bodies, he decides to use his unique position to alter the tenuous balance that greed and corruption had given birth to. With his extraordinary mind, Adrian plots and plans, designing new technologies with his assistant A.I., becoming secretly embroiled in the world of politics, subterfuge, and research. As his influence increases, governments and the general populace alike scramble to discover just who the man behind Archon Industries really is.
8 181Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.
8 209The Guild
The world is broken. The apocalypse came and went, and only a fragment of humanity is left, scrambled into an unrecognizable mess. The remainders of the earth are filled with monsters from imagination and worse. Gates open periodically, leading to alien worlds, while dungeons form from damaged minds, creating nightmares for the unsuspecting. Some might see it as the end times. A hellscape. A story of humans pushed to their breaking points, desperately grasping for the last bits of humanity as the world crumbles around them. But a few might disagree. One man, in particular, sees opportunity. A chance. A path forward, to bring humanity from the depths of despair and turn it into a victory - a luxury. To remake the world even better than it was, dragging earth forward onto the galactic stage. It will require violence, lies, betrayals, magic, more violence, and the occasional genocide. But, hey. Everything worth doing is hard, right?
8 144Black Rock
In some forgotten part of rural Japan lies secrets. A farm with no animals, a school with people who do not belong, one huge conspiracy to keep the truth hidden. However, when a mysterious girl meets Yuuki for the first time, his life takes a turn for the worst. He must take on the burden of each and every horrible truth placed upon him.
8 520The Baron
In the time of crazy youth, the one bought a barony. It was inexpensive, and at the time there was a lot of wild money going through his hands. Also, the name of the barony created an amusing pun with the surname. Barony Grave Stone with Baron Grave. The one bought a nice paper and thought its a fun joke. But every action has consequences. And the past will always find a way to bite you in the ass.
