《Cupid's Match : CUPID'S MATCH BOOK 1》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Dear Lila,
I am contacting you on behalf of The Cupids Matchmaking Service.
You will not have heard of us but we are an organization that works behind the scenes of society, identifying each person's perfect match.
Usually we would not contact our clients. We prefer to work in secrecy - setting up the ideal environment for the two matches to have a chance encounter.
Recently, however, we ran your details through our system and...well...in your case...
We think you'd better come in.
Please respond at your earliest convenience.
Yours Urgently,
The Cupids Matchmaking Service
Hi! I'm Lauren! It's so nice to meet you!
Welcome to the magical and mythological world of Cupid's Match!
It's a world filled with crime-lord sirens, cupid hitmen, magic arrows, high school drama, and a mischievous love god whom our main character, Lila, can't quite stop herself from falling for...!
I started writing Cupid's Match on Wattpad back in 2015 and I had so much fun writing it. But I should warn you. . . this Wattpad version of Cupid's Match is a FIRST DRAFT! You are reading the original, raw, rough version which means that alongside the general cupid chaos, you find spelling and grammar errors.
(Also - sometimes you might THINK there is a spelling mistake, but actually it's because I'm British! I live in London and we spell things differently to America over here! Where are you from? Let me know in the comments!)
Due to it being a first draft you will also encounter some general weirdness in terms of plot, characters, structure, and story development.
The Cupid's Match trilogy has also been published in French (Maudit Cupidon) and German (Everlasting Love). Book one is available in Spanish under the name 'El Match de Cupido'!
I will always leave this version here on Wattpad for you to read because - even though it's a very rough version of the story - it holds a special place in my heart, and Wattpad readers helped shape it into what it is today.

But if you're interested in the published version, or you just generally want to know what I'm up to, come follow me here on Wattpad (click ---> ), or on social media for updates.
I'm on
For any fellow Wattpadders looking for tips on how to get reads, I wrote down some of the things that helped me when I was starting out with Cupid's Match. You can check them out in the tips books available on my profile. Or head over to my blog where I post writing advice (www.LaurenPalphreyman.com/blog).
Hope you enjoy the story!
love,
Lauren

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.

Path of Salvation
Not far outside the public eye lie wonders forgotten by mankind. Magic, Spirits, Powers... With time and with the power of a crumbling oath the common folk forgot what wonders and horrors they could bring simply because they wished to do so. As a select few of special individuals suffer under these excrutiating conditions of secrecy, magic, and the status quo, one such special individual sees a way out of a life he deemed cruel. Wanting to start over, he intends to take on the duty of handling these pressures as a means to make his life worth living.Even if it may break him, even if Hyperion lives a life far worse than the one before, at least he'll know, as the martyr he is at heart, that his sacrifice helped others while also unaware that others are willing to do the opposite if there's even a small chance that it could help him. Going on a hiatus that may last until the next Writathon; currently burned out with writers block (Started May 23rd)
