The moment he started the car, I grabbed my phone.
"What the hell are you doin'? Tina asked frustrated.
"Taking a photo of this guy's license plate. I need to fix my wrong." I said tried to sound casual.
"Oh, please don't bullshit me. You wanna know who he is." She stated, looking straight into my eyes.
Like I said open book.
"Ok, that too." I said and started the car."You shit your pants, didn't you?"
"Firstly, I always knew you will be the death of me, so excuse me if I'm a little skittish when you play my life on the line. And secondly, don't try to change the subject, missy." I laughed and carefully this time got on the highway paying attention to all the signs on the road.
"Seriously who is that guy? You know him?" curiosity has taken over me. He had something, I don't know what exactly, but he felt intriguing.
"Have you even seen me talking to any losers, like him? Of course I don't know him." she said irritated. "How are you not mad at him? He insulted you more than once and you kept laughing."
"He did, didn't he?" I laughed.
"Um, yeah he did. And you are still laughing. Did the screws in your head loosened up?"
"They were never screwed that tightly in the first place, so let's get past that. You see, no one has ever talked to me like that," mesmerized, I replayed the scene in my mind.
Invest it in some more plastic surgeries.
I laughed again out loud.
"Okay, did you hit your head during the crash? Do I need to check you in a hospital?" Tina looked at me like I'm an alien, with a bit of worry forming in her eyes.

I shook my head.
"No, no I'm fine. I'm just... Curious. Yeah, let's go with that." I nodded with approval at myself for the choice of words.
"Are you seriously obsessing over a loser? He seemed like the king of nerds, probably living in his mama's basement amongst his comic books and a hidden stash of playboys to get him off." She said maliciously. Almost spitting every word.
That guy hit a nerve while he talked about throwing up in bathrooms.
Truth is Tina did that years ago and it was the most haunted period of her life. Mine too. But we, together, got past that. She is good now. The memories though, are still there.
"He didn't strike me as a nerd," I formed his appearance in my mind's eye once again.
"He wore dorky ass glasses and a stupid T-shirt with the damn Avengers, for crying out loud." She yelled at me frustrated.
"When you look that good as him, you do it ironically." I smiled.
"He didn't look good." She said defensively, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes at her.
Of course he looked good.
He tried to cover that, but his piercing green eyes shined lividly even behind his ugly glasses, and his biceps were bulging under that lame T-shirt the moment he crossed his arms. What did the trick for me though, was the moment he turned around and I took a good look at his back. Damn!
I am a sucker when it comes to V shaped backs. And that butt oh, mama!
I bit my bottom lip thinking of that.
"Oh my God, you liked him," shock was painted at her face as she yelled at me.

"I did." I admitted, nodding my head.
If there was a sound when someone rolled his eyes, I would be deaf right now. I literally saw her irises vanish inside her head, before coming back again.
I parked in front of our favorite sushi restaurant and looked at her.
"How about we get some sushi for now and I promise, I'll let you be judgy and condescending as long as you like afterwards."
She uncrossed her legs and got out of the car, still looking mad and annoyed.
"You're buying. And after that, we are booking an appointment in a mental clinic just to make sure you're sane." Laughing, I grabbed my purse and got out of the car.
"You got yourself a deal."

Lost souls: Road to Godhood (Isekai) [Writathon Participant]
In a world where mages stand above nobles and even the law, it's not surprising that everyone wants to learn magic. Luz and his brothers are no different. However, their peaceful lives are shattered when a dragon attacks their village. Left with no choice, Luz uses a forbidden spatial spell to save his brothers. The consequences are not pretty--he and his brothers are scattered across different realms. Luz will have to travel to places unknown to reunite his family and gain enough power to take vengeance on the dragon. Armed with a single spell that he can only cast once before his magic reserves are depleted, Luz has his work cut out for him. Being the oldest is never easy. Author note: Please be warned as the book won't be what you might expect since the early chapters of my work are more of a slice of life of an MC, trying to adjust to his new life rather than slaying monsters left and right from the get-go with accelerated growth cheat and missions given by a goddamn system that forges your path, since everyone knows: an MC needs a system that tells one how to move forward. That was a long sentence. Also, some of you might consider my chapter titles as clickbaity, while others like me might consider them: not boring titles, hehehe.

The Orb Weaver Chronicles
"The Orb Weaver Chronicles contains several major and unique events that may or may not unknowingly intertwines with one another. The author of these chronicles is unknown, although some have hinted at the symbolism behind its name..." - Year unknown, location unknown 9 February 2022 Update: Welcome to the companion short story compilation of my novel trilogy The Shadow Paradigm. This compilation features prequels, sidequels and sequels to the novel's major plotline, as well as featuring a wide range of characters, new and recurring. Prior knowledge of the novel is not necessary as the Orb Weaver Chronicles' short stories are standalone. Once called The Arkesyyan Chronicles, I've deleted quite a few of its old stories. Due to the new avenue and revision, oriented toward more mystery and film-noir ambience, that I took my stories into, I've removed all aliens and overly sci-fi aspects of the whole TSP lineup, so I've updated the Orb Weaver Chronicles accordingly. I hope you enjoy them, and in time, a revised version will also be updated.

Grimoire: Retake
"Reality is different than a story or a game." That's what my best friend used to say to the otaku me all the times and I myself knew full well that it's true. Well, that was until now...

The harem MC is childhood friend A and the main rival is my brother B. Hah! And that's just the beginning! You are mistaken if you think that's all. How about an amazing finishing touch of having found out later that reality does not follow the original storyline but might actually be the improved sequel version of the RPG? Hahaha, God, I'm laughing tears of despair....
