You packed up your belongings in your small suitcase. Throwing clothes and anything else you think you could need until you can figure out what's next. You just had to get away.
Life wasn't good. You lost your job, your boyfriend was cheating on you with your best friend, and you just learned you were expecting his baby. The two of you were living together. Your parents disowned you, how could their daughter have a child before marriage? After all, this was 1958.
You ran out into the pouring rain without looking back. You left the door wide open as you ran down the street to the only place you truly felt safe. Once inside, you were greeted by the loud music playing over the speakers and the laughter of your schoolmates.
Ricky was in the corner strumming a guitar by himself. He was always shy with everyone except for you. You had basically grown up together. He seemed to be thinking. He lifted his eyes from the floor when he saw you looking distressed.
You approached him and sat next to his stool. You wiped the last of your tears and kept your head down to avoid unwanted attention.
"Do you want to go to my place?" You nodded.
The two of you walked out of the record store together and walked to his house which was a five minute walk.
Once inside, he took off his wet sweater and hung it up by the door. You did the same. He finally took notice of your suitcase and gave you a look of question.
His mother came into the room with a tray of hot chocolates before leaving the room for the two of you to talk.
He finally spoke, "why do you look like you ran away?"

"Because I did."
"What? I thought things were going well with Al."
"Al is nothing to me anymore."
"What happened?"
You held onto the warm mug like your life depended on it. Would Ricky cut connection with you too? Will his family throw you out of their home when they found out?
"He was cheating on me and..." you took a deep inhale. You felt your eyes water and you sobbed before you could get the words out.
"I'm pregnant with his baby." You expected him to get up and leave but instead he embraced you. He held you tight and put your mug down on the table.
"Does he know?" You shook your head. You planned to tell him, but the time never came.
"No. My parents found out and they were livid. They kicked me out of the house and I couldn't stay with him."
"Do you want to stay here?" He asked.
"Can I? But what will your parents say?" You searched his eyes for an answer. He didn't have one.
"We'll figure it out with time. Let's get you set up in the guest room. You need rest." He stood up and carried your suitcase to the downstairs guest bedroom.

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe. It's unfathomable, utterly evil, and likes to be called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic, and he'd be damned if he let something as small as this set him back. When Damien started his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy. However, when he's assigned to room with a strange girl that has magic that even Henry is wary of, Damien realizes things might not be so easy. He sets out to accomplish his life goal of becoming a powerful mage, all the while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that's created a persona to act like a teenager, and a new roomate that's far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles to deal with the rammifications of the monster within him, a disturbing fact comes to life: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane, and he's the only one that can stop them. NOTE: This story is progression fantasy with some very basic litRPG elements (such as a wristband that shows a character's stats). It is not a full on litRPG - it's a progression fantasy story with litRPG elements. The story will contain some romance, but it will not be explicit nor will it take over the story. It starts off slow, but will pick up speed quickly around chapter 26. Enjoy! My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror was origonally started as a way to thank my patreons. I will be keeping the patreon updated 15 chapters in advance. Enjoy! Cover art by Skyedrun!
8 2662New: The Dark Inheritor
A princess should live her life as a princess, right? Sadly, this is not that story. Oppressed by her father under a sheltered life, a princess is trapped in her cage, yearning for escape. With untapped potential, a strong desire for freedom and exploration, and a hidden fate, she rots behind ignorance. Unknowningly, destined for greatness, a scheme happens behind the scene. One day, a mysterious woman grants her the perk "Defeat Inheritor." From that day onwards, Aisha begins her new life filled with freedom and danger. Corrupted by a madwoman, praised by geniuses, champion of a crazy entity, Aisha travels the vast world of Aelea. Watch this young innocent, ignorant princess bloom into a dignified and fearsome queen. As she ventures forward, she discovers a wider view on the world she was kept away from. She will tackle the hardships and situations that will block her advance. Not knowing how to love, she starts her own harem (unexpectedly). This story is influenced by The Coiling Dragon and Re:Monster. I added some mix into this, revealing some other components that blends fantasy with numerous things. Rating: M 18+ Strong language, graphic content, sexual content, and blood and gore. There will be a lot of lesbian (yuri) scenes. And the cover picture is my own work. I created it. Note: This will be the revamped version of the story, the old one can be found here: https://royalroadl.com/fiction/4699
8 207Practically, I am weak because "I AM A WEED!" [Author Disappeared. ]
God could have made her into a human, elf or even an ugly goblin after reincarnation. BUT WHY THE HECK MUST IT BE A WEED?! Not only does she not have her arms and legs,she also doesn't have a mouth to talk.She doesn't even have friends to talk to!And to add insult to injury, the god even likes to prank her! Where is she? Why did she die? Or perhaps she didn't die but was just transported into this world by mistake. She found out that she wasn’t just a simple weed in a simple world. Perhaps, this is an RPG world and she is the main character. If so, will she even survive this world as a weed? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Inspired by Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken [TSSDK], Kumo Desu Ga Nani Ka?, Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou, Tsuki Ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Warning: Even though this is not my first time writing, I am not a native English speaker. My grammar might be *not good* for some people but I assure you that it's readable. There are a couple of authors that help me with proofreading some chapters, but because I want to release faster, I do not go through proofreading and post as soon as I finish a chapter. Plus, I am now using Grammarly.com There is no romance for the MC in the story, like you may expect, even though there are a lot of good looking men and women. *mild spoiler* After chapter 3, The mc meets quite some friends, before grinding her level after chapter 15. I assure you, it will be really hardcore for her since she will have to fight alone while her friends are doing other things. *spoiler end* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From now on, an update will happen every two week. I will also edit the old chapters on Monday. The people that want to read a proofread/edited version, will have to check it on Tuesday. ON HALT! Many thanks to Cool3303, Alverost, BloodTear, Vijaykakani and Nekolyn Emi for proof reading the chapters. If other want to take this story, go on. Do not have to credit the author. Author on a journey to death.
