BENEFITS — CHAPTER NINE!
of Midtown Science and Technology, their field trip at Oscorp was cut short. Gwen had told them that their was a chemical leak on the level above them and that they needed to evacuate immediately. "I'm so sorry guys." She said apologetically once they were outside.
"What kinda gas was it? Will it turn me into The Hulk or Captain America?" Flash asked her in his usual pushy manner.
Gwen laughed nervously, "no, it's not that kind of gas." She gazed back at the building, "well, I'm needed but I hope you all enjoy your day." And with that, she was gone.
Mr Harrington frowned, "Well, I guess we should get on the bus then."
"But I wanted to see my father." Peter heard Harry mumble to Jason from the school news.
Jason shrugged, "I guess you'll just have to wait until dinner."
Harry sighed, "yeah, I'll see him then." Peter couldn't help but feel bad for him, it was obvious that he wasn't going to get to see his father then.
"Who wants McDonalds?" Mr Harrington asked the students once everyone was back on the bus. Peter had yet again chosen to sit with Ned father than [Y/N].
The students cheered as Mr Harrington began telling the bus driver how to get to McDonalds. "Tell me if you want me to be quiet— take a left here. My wife... err ex wife, Tabitha always said I didn't know when to stop but... I-I'll stop."
Peter slumped into his chair, he felt completely exhausted. He hoped that the spider wasn't venomous, he didn't feel like going to the ER at the moment. All he wanted to do was go to bed and sleep.
Peter woke up Thursday morning feeling like crap. His hand reached out from under the covers to shut his alarm clock off. Once it stopped beeping, he threw the blankets off of himself and reached for his glasses. Slowly, he sat up and put them on.

Blinking, Peter tried to clear his vision — why was everything so blurry? Maybe it was his glasses? He slipped them off his face and have them a quick wipe with the nearest blanket.
Once again, he slipped them on and found that everything was still extremely blurry. Slowly, he took them off and was surprised to find that he could see really well without them. "What the—"
"Peter!" His aunt called, "breakfast is ready."
"Just a second!" He called out to her.
His mind was whirring, what the hell was going on? He'd needed glasses for as long as he could remember. Slowly, he climbed out of bed and shuffled over to his closet. That's when he caught sight of his reflection.
Surely this couldn't be him. Peter Parker did not contain a single muscle but now, his reflection showed that he was fully ripped. Peter felt sick.
"You're toast is going cold!" May called out again.
"Sorry— I-I'm coming!" He said, slipping the first shirt he could find on.
"Yo," [Y/N] called out to Michelle as she walked into school. Of course, the curly haired girls head was stuck in a book.
Michelle hummed in response, she was too engrossed in her book to make any other noise. "Great talk." [Y/N] mumbled.
"—it looks infected." She heard Ned say as he rounded the corner. "What happened?"
[Y/N] smiled when she saw Peter round the corner with him. Bidding Michelle goodbye, she rushed over to them. "Hey guys." She said brightly. She was still excited about yesterday.
"Oh, hi [Y/N]." Ned said in a tone [Y/N] didn't really recognise. "Look Peter, it's [Y/N]."
"Hi."
[Y/N] cocked her head in confusion. Ever since that night Peter had been acting weird towards her. Clearing her throat, she said "Peter? Can I talk to you?" She cast a glance at Ned, "in private."

Peter nodded slowly and let her lead him away from Ned. Before Peter could ask her anything, she said, "what's up with you? You've been avoiding me since Tuesday— is it because of what we did on Tuesday? I'm sorry—"
Peter cut her off, "no, it's not that I've just got... things going on." He said plainly, "I didn't want to bother you with it. Sorry I've been weird."
[Y/N] wasn't really convinced but she didn't tell Peter that. Instead, she sighed. "It's fine, seriously."
Before their conversation could go any further, the warning bell rang. "We should probably get to english." Peter sighed.
[Y/N] nodded and followed him towards their classroom.

Dream Dungeon
Welcome to the dream dungeon. Ely suddenly finds himself in a mysterious dungeon accessed only through sleeping. Many people are drawn into this dream world, confused and mystified. Those in this dungeon must kill monsters to survive; maybe even each other. Join Ely as he struggles to survive a ruthless environment. What replaces his rest is untold trauma. What seems like an innocent game trope turns into a nightmare. This is a story of tragedy and the path to ultimate power. All in the hopes of an uncertain survival. _________ This fiction has NOT been abandoned. I made a haughty promise earlier to not worry because I'll continue this series, and with things lately, I've only proved myself a liar. Further promises dwindled, and I've lost trust. So many things have been going on recently that I've been booked. I will refrain from making any future guarantees or promises as my busy schedule will stay with me for a long long while. Time for me to actually spend on writing and revising won't appear until at the least November 19. I won't say expect that's when I'll restart, but you can expect expecting it to maybe happen. That's really shallow. But with everything going on, I've let my small reading base down. I apologize. I still stick by my statement though that I won't abandon this project. I plan to stick it to the end, no matter the delay. Most importantly, thank you everyone; readers who both like and dislike my work. I appreciate your time spent on my dumb imagination. Stay toasty my readers in this winter season. Cheers. UPDATE: We're back on track. Thank you for your patience. Any future readers, heyo! Glad you're here. UPDATE 2: So far it's been 21 days since I last uploaded a chapter. The best thing done for any fiction, no matter how good it is, is that it continues, and I have a bad history with that. 1 fiction on hiatus and already more delays with less than 20 chapters in this fiction. I've been very preoccupied with adding more things to do in my life rather than actually committing to any particular thing. That applies primarily to this. I cannot abandon this, as busy as my future looks and will look as I get busier and busier. Someday, I hope, I will be able to sit down and just write. just. write. But for now, I ask for patience. I suppose I'm glad this fiction hasn't picked up so that I don't disappoint too many people if any really. But I need to commit and it's going to happen sometime and sometime soon. No more flowery words. I'll see you later. UPDATE 3: It's very evident I won't be able to pick up this story for a while. With AP Testing, competitions, and other things I am busier than ever. But I must complete this fiction. I have too. Until next time. UPDATE 4: It is now the summer. I owe everyone an apology. Chances are, nobody's around to see this, and that is okay. I only blame myself for this sort of brokenness of a fiction, not that it is actually that bad but I am just exaggerating it for dramatic effect.But what's not exaggerated is the severity of my broken promise. I apologize for my naive claims about finishing a novel that I couldn't finish and that I didn't have the discipline to finish. Nor the skills, really, I was and am still an immature writer.What is to place now? I want to make it clear I understand this is my fault. I will man up to this. And I will accept any criticism. I understand I messed up. Reading Stephen King's On Writing made it clear to me that I need to do two things:Read lots.And write lots.I have done neither. If I don't have the time to read often, how do I expect to write? I need to become more experienced. I need to become a serious writer.So if I want to dream of continuing, I need to at least fulfill both requirements. I enjoy writing. I haven't written seriously outside of school in a while. I planned to write this summer and finish this. I made a lot of promises that I didn't keep.So there's that. I won't enact any self-pity, or be foolishly obsessed. What I did was wrong, and I must deal with it. I let down readers. And I apologize.I hope I can find forgiveness. This is a writer's sin.I won't promise I'll finish this. I intend to finish this, at some point, because writing is fun and I want to write. But how things are don't reflect that. Maybe I'll finish this at some point. Maybe I won't. I won't be naive to make that promise.I thank everyone who has read this if this is the end. If not, and hopefully not, I thank everyone who is to read future chapters. I thank everyone who allowed me to live in the miniscule little dream of mine as I passed my days. I thank everyone who cares enough to read this. Until next time, peace everyone. Thank you. You are all great readers and great people. I wish everyone the best in whatever reading/writing endeavors follow you henceforth.
