[Jonah"s POV]
Ive been dating my girlfriends for three weeks now, and everything has been going great. We are sitting in homeroom, and with Riser, Valdi, and Issei gone, we have a chance to sit next to each other.
Grayfia: "Now, class, we are getting a new student today, so be on your best behavior."
As we all settle down, a beautiful girl walked in.
Grayfia: "Please introduce yourself."
???: "I'm Kuroka, and I'm happy to be here."
Grayfia: "Great, now you can sit by Yubelluna."
Kuroka: "Thank you."
As she approached us, I couldn't help but be caught in her gaze, almost as if she's ensnaring my mind in a trap. I broke out of it and thought to myself, 'so you're trying to seduce me, but why.' Well, whatever the case, it's happing.
Kuroka: "So what are your name and also, you wouldn't happen to know someone named Jonah Carleton."
Raynare: "I'm Raynare, but why are you asking about Jonah."
Kuroka: "A friend told me that he was a huge pervert, so I'm trying to stay away from him."
Jonah: "One, he's not a pervert, and two, may I ask who your friend is."
Kuroka: "Well, my friend's name is Phenex, and how do you know he's not."
Jonah: "I know cause I'm Jonah and your friend's name is Riser."
Kuroka: "Yes, I know that, but you could just say your not a pervert to gain my trust."
Yubelluna: "He's telling the truth, but why don't we talk more at lunch."
Kuroka: "Okay."
After class, I went up to Kuroka to talk with her some more."
Jonah: "Why were you trying to hypnotize me into falling in love with you."
Kuroka: "What."

Jonah: "Ive been hypnotized before, and it didn't work, so why did you try."
Kuroka: "He said I had to or else."
Jonah: "Or else what."
Kuroka: "He didn't say all he had on him was a box of revolvers."
Jonah: "Hey, it's fine now. Did he or anyone else say where they were?"
Kuroka: "No, and I was driven there by his servant and blindfolded."
Jonah: "Okay, don't worry."
As I walked to class, I couldn't help but think what Riser might do with those guns. Lunch soon came around, and all three of us were sitting together. We saw Kuroka enter the cafeteria and called her over after she got her lunch.
Yubelluna: "Okay, spill, why do you know Riser."
Kuroka: "He asked me to seduce Jonah by hypnotizing him."
Raynare: "How does that work?"
Kuroka: "Since birth, guys who look in my eyes instantly fall in love with me. Unless they're in an honest relationship where they don't plan on cheating on their significant other."
Yubelluna: "Well, that won't work on Jonah cause he's in an honest relationship with us, and he can't be hypnotized."
Raynare: "Really?"
Yubelluna: "Yep, we won a school competition to go to a carnival, and they tried hypnotizing him, and he just shrugged it off."
Raynare: "Wow."
Yubelluna: "Yeah, and it sucked cause I was going to have them have him make out with me."
Jonah: "Hey, you could have just asked. I left in the seventh grade that event was in the sixth."
Yubelluna: "Yeah, but now I can do that anytime."
Jonah: "Okay."
[Kuroka's POV]
Kuroka: "Hey Raynare, can you come with me? I wanna talk to you some more."
Raynare: "Okay."

As we headed to the restroom, I asked her a question.
Kuroka: "You're worried Jonah will leave you when he hears about your past relationships. Is this true?"
Raynare: "Yeah, Ive been with every guy in this school except Riser and Valdi, and all they care about is sex."
Kuroka: "What about Kiba?"
"That's why I didn't want to go after Kiba, but when he started dating Tsubaki, I knew I missed my chance."
Kuroka: "It's alright another reason guys don't get affected is if they aren't looking for sex."
Raynare: "So I could do it with him without the fear of him leaving me."
Kuroka: "That is correct."
Raynare: "Okay, thanks."
Kuroka: "Okay, get out of here so I can call that son of a bitch."
After she left, I called Riser's phone.
Riser: "Hello Kuroka, did you complete your mission."
Kuroka: "No, he's immune."
Riser: "What do you mean immune."
Kuroka: "Under certain circumstances, a guy can be immune to me."
Riser: "Fine, I'll handle this myself."
He ended the call, and I returned to the others. Although my mind was concerned about what he meant by, he'll 'handle this myself.'

The Featherlight Transmission
In the ancient desert metropolis of Wellspring City, magic is dead, and technology reigns supreme. Baulric Featherlight, one of thousands of street mages for hire, is summoned by the City Watch to assist with a particularly grisly murder - the deed was done by a rogue mage, and the fanatical Dynamic Brotherhood will have every arcanist in the city pay for it. The killer continues carving a line of death throughout all twenty sectors of the city, and anti-magic sentiment begins to rise. Will Featherlight's singular skills be enough to hunt down this elusive killer? Or will fear and old hatreds finally tear Wellspring City apart? (Cover art by the inestimable UncertaintyCrossing. You can find more of his enchanting works here.) hi! im the guy that wrote this story. i hope you like reading it. im bad at elevator pitches ^ and honestly, it's a little misleading. it's really just a detective noir with a few extras. if you like detective stories, this is a good one. it's got robots and magic and stuff too. have fun! (obligatory extra note: im an internet busker who subsists on the generosity of readers like you. if you haven't done your good deed for the day and you think my work is worth paying for, why not tip some spare change into my hat? i'd be awful appreciative ♥) [premium game of the year DLC edition edit: if you've read the whole thing for free and want to buy a copy for yourself, this dang ol' story is available for purchase on amazon now. it's not super special, but showing your support by buying it would make writing new ones a lot easier. thanks a million billion for reading either way ♥]
8 110I'm The King Of Technology
Chu Yi dies in a car crash and becomes Landon Barn, the illegitimate son of king Barn, ruler of Arcadina. Because his mother was a maid and the king’s greatest disgrace, his father had always despised him. The same could be said for his half-siblings.
8 1769Magikind
Disclaimer: This is a low-fantasy, soft-sci-fi genre. In fact, it's a variety of genres, so don't be too put off by the tags Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some humans refused to change or adapt along with them. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought to be extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society between Eurasia, Afro-Australian Alliance and The Americas. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin enters the Eurasian army. From there, our journey unfolds. A story of how mankind could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. PS.

8 134A Lonely Spiral
Rye wakes up with a toad in her mouth. From the first day the world is out to make her life miserable as she struggles through living without a sun, through graves and grave threats in the form of man or monster, or even just her innermost doubts and insecurities. Join her as she explores a dark, dark world and slowly, but surely finds her place in it. Or will she? What if the world has no place for a small, weak and uncertain person like her? How will she adapt, if at all, to ever worsening circumstances? (Features a slow-burning progression, many setbacks and a thousand ways to suffer in the age of darkness with a slice of humor to finish it off. Expect the dark-souls of adventure stories. Early chapters are a bit of a mess, but it gets better. If you want to skip forward, I can recommend chapters 19, 26, or 34 as starting points.) Heyo, YJarex here, the Y is silent. This is my first story so please be kind, but don't hesitate to point out flaws or ask questions if things are unclear. I fully intend to continue writing this until it is done some time in the far future. Cover art is a commission by the wonderful hou_jae04. Check them out on Instagram here. Schedule is Tuesday and Thursday with a chance of bonus chapters on Saturday. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Done!
