《The Steele Brothers (Completed)》3. Viridian
Advertisement
I sigh as I relax back in my armchair, staring out at the bustling campus, its been a week and I am finally settling in, having had my first class in all my subjects and met all my professors, I know I made the right choice.
I had also recognised a problem, well more like four of them, but it had taken an overheard conversation for me to link them together... the Steele brothers.
Jett, who had shown me around, only to turn up again in my Physics class, claiming the second seat at the lab table, his glare sending the student who had been about to claim the space running, Then Grey who was now my Microbiology partner, Followed by Ash who had claimed the seat next to me in Psychology and finally Raven, he wasn't in any class so far but had appeared at my side in the library, his dark gaze pinning me to my seat as he had sat opposite me, before pulling out thick books and ordering me to 'Stay' when I had started to pack up my books nervously.
I had held his gaze when I questioned "Why?"
"Because you are interested in studying and I want to study" he had replied, sending a narrowed glare at a group of female students waving a phone between them and uncaringly disturbing everyone with their noise.
I had been very aware of him and it had taken me a while to fall back into my studying, but even then I had been conscious off him being almost within touching distance for the whole time. That had been the first time, now he joined me nearly ever evening for the two hours I spent studying in there.
Over the week, All of them had spoken to me, introduced themselves and declared they would be around to help if I need any help with anything. I had stayed quiet and done my best to ignore then all but they were persistent.

It had been after my morning class, this morning, when I had slipped into the toilets, I had heard the door open and thought nothing of it, till I had heard the girls mentioning Raven and Jett and a girl they were both talking to, it had taken me a while to understand they meant me and I had hesitated, not wanting to leave the cubicle and face them, but I also didn't want to hear what they were saying.
I hoped the door opening again would stop them but instead another girl joined in, I could hear the clatter of makeup on the vanity top and it was then I learned the four of them were brothers and that their interest in me was raising comments amid the female student body, their attention on one girl was unusual, they didn't connect with other students, the four of them were a unit, they hooked up at parties, but they didn't date.
I had remained frozen, the more they spoke the worse I felt, I was finding out about them from gossip... it felt wrong to hear about them that way. I shook my head, what was I thinking, why should I care, I was here to study.... not date.
I learned they were adopted brothers, their parents were something big on campus, the boys were the top of the food chain and yet somehow I had attracted their attention. They were all model students, perfect grades, great at sports, very social, except for Raven and their looks seemed to be admired by everyone, even Raven who was gruff and would scowl at most people had his own following. Raven had appeared every evening sharing a desk with me in the library since the second day of classes and I know a few people had tried to approach our table but a scowl from him had sent them scurrying away.

But it seemed I was a target now and it was all their fault. This was not what I wanted, I just wanted to study, I would just have to create a distance from them, that would settle the worries of the other students.
Eventually the girls had all cleared out and I had finally crept out of the cubicle, staring at my wide worried gaze in the mirror above the sink as I had washed my hands, before rushing back to my dorm room. Now, I looked at the books ready for me to go to the library, and bit my lip, would Raven appear again, my gut was telling me he would be there, I groaned and reached for the books, I could study here tonight, it would be best for everyone.

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.
