《A Raven's Craving • Namgi [✔️]》4

Raising the back of his hand up, he knocked on the door three times. This was very well risky, considering they were close to curfew for the night. Yoongi stood there, paper in hand along with his wand. Seconds passed before the door opening, revealing the Crowseen boy.
“So you did come? Then what I said must've been true, wanna come inside?” They asked, smirking a little. Yoongi felt himself tense.
“How'd you know?” Yoongi asked, tilting his head a little. They laughed.
“Come on in, I'll explain... for a price of course.”
Yoongi hesitantly walked into the dorm, but he knew he could protect himself. He stood there awkwardly, looking around. There was a desk, filled with papers and a pair of glasses. He must've been doing work before Yoongi arrived. Next to that desk was a bookshelf, filled with books of both learning and fiction.
“Sit down,” they offered him a seat, to which Yoongi declined and just learned on the wall. The Crowseen shrugged, taking his seat at the desk reversely. He placed his head on the back of the chair, looking at Yoongi with curiosity.
“I presume you're wearing contacts?”
Yoongi looked away, nodding a little bit.
“Can you take them out? I wanna see.”
“Listen, I just wanna know how you figured it out, not be bossed around.”
They tensed, standing up a little and walking over, placing his index finger under Yoongi's chin. They lifted Yoongi's head to face his.
“You forgot who has the power right now. You obviously don't want anyone to know, so you're hiding it. Now, show those red eyes,” they said, backing away from Yoongi. The older hesitantly raised his hand up to his left eye before taking out the contact. He blinked a little, adjusting his eyes before looking at the boy.

They clapped a little, whipping out a camera and snapping a quick photo. “Hell yea! An actual Raven!”
Yoongi's eyes widened, and he put the contact back in, looking away in embarrassment. The Crowseen student was smiling, writing something down before looking at Yoongi.
“So, Yoongi, wanna know how I found out?”
Yoongi nodded.
“Well, was it yesterday? When you fell onto the ground, fainted I'll say, a black feather had dropped from under your shirt. Sure, it was an assumption, but accurate on my account, but I wonder, where did this feather come from?”
They leaned onto the chair, smirking. “Raven's aren't supposed to grow wings.”
“Shut up! Shut up shut up!” Yoongi stared at him, shaking before falling to the ground and holding himself closely. Tears streamed from down his eyes. He was ashamed of himself. He was afraid of what would happen if others found out. The Crowseen boy looked at Yoongi with a small smile.
“Every one in ten people become a Raven. Every one in three Raven's grow wings,” they said, walking over and lifting up the back of Yoongi's sweater a little. Sure enough, the scarred back with small feathers poking were there. The boy snapped a picture before tossing his camera away.
“I won't tell anyone as long as you do one thing for me.”
Yoongi froze, his breath stopping. “I don't care what it is, just don't tell anyone.”
“Let me study you. Since I arrived here, I've had a passion for learning about Raven's and what causes for them to become them. Now I have an actual Raven in front of me,” they said. Yoongi looked up at him.
“Study me..?”
“Plus, you're growing wings. I'll surely get offered high-paying jobs with the research I earn with you!”

“But-”
They put a finger up. “Of course, I could tell everyone.”
Yoongi looked away, nodding and mumbling a quiet okay. The boy clapped his hands, smiling to himself. They sucked in a breath.
“Okay, so everyday you'll come here around this time. If you get caught, too bad, that's not my fault. I'll conduct tests that you'll comply to, and in return I won't tell anyone, understood?”
“Yes...”
“Alright. Anyways, time for you to leave. My name is Kim Namjoon by the way. Also, don't expect to be friends, and if I need you during the day you better answer,” they- Namjoon- said. Yoongi was then forced out of the dorm.
He headed back to his own quietly, looking down. He felt bad and insecure. He was being used, yes, being blackmailed, but he couldn't let his secret out! He just hated himself. Why did he have to be born this way? Raven's weren't looked down onto, but his family seemed to dislike him, so why? Why did he have to be born as a Raven?
He reached his dorm, setting everything down and prepared for bed. He looked out the window, watching as the moon raised into the sky. Sighing, he flopped into bed, but not before feeling the back of his wings. They were going to get bigger, just hopefully not now.
The sound of a thunderstorm was heard in the distance, which carefully eased Yoongi into a trance, causing him to fall asleep. Rain poured down. This was only the start of the coming storm.

Sanity Online
Welcome to the world of Sanity Online, an unnaturally realistic game.
8 137The Warden
Nora, a delinquent and truant, works part time for one of the best kept secrets in the multiverse: the Wardens, an interdimensional agency responsible for keeping people from wandering too far from their home realms. Adam lives a happy life on Earth with a loving family where his biggest problem comes in the form of his mysterious classmate, and sometimes friend, Nora. When the two wind up stranded in an impossibly distant realm along with their entire class, they must both do their part to not only find a way home, but to find a way to protect themselves and their peers from an uncertain threat. Unbeknownst to them, danger lurks in all corners, and as they find themselves swept up into the world of interdimensional politics, they may find that the decisions they make will warp the very fabric of the multiverse. Will update twice weekly unless otherwise stated. Please, comment and criticize extensively.
8 96The Ultimate Classroom
Naibu Henko, 15 years old Is a happy go lucky guy with a good heart and average grades, but nonetheless still wanted to get into the most elite school because his brother graduated from there and desired to see what the school is like. If only the protagonist knew the mess he was about to get into, as Danshaku High School is no place for a normal school life. Story is heavily inspired by Classroom Of The Elite, so thanks for giving us that godly premise!
8 160Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
8 71Tales of the Willful Autonomous Nanobot Generator
Due to over-engineering and poor parenting; a nanobot generator is sent into the wider universe, ready to solve any and all problems...though probably not the way that was intended, or even hoped for. This story is a first time attempt to use a literary device I came up with, where I use 4 randomly selected songs to write short stories. As such there really won't be any cohesive story thread between chapters. If this gets traction, the likelihood for reader polls to influence the next story are high.
8 134The one who came back...

Seems like Ron and Hermione are living lavish lives along with Ginny and Molly. Sirius and Remus have been put in Azkaban and Dumbledore was killed. Pretty bad, no?

He has some very nasty and chilling tricks up his sleeve and he is going to put them to use now.HE will be back......... And soon......
