《Benefits ━━ PETER PARKER》17. INTERESTING

BENEFITS — CHAPTER SEVENTEEN!
Harry asked as he walked [Y/N] to class. As soon as Harry approached, Michelle had made an excuse about needing to check into the library, leaving the pair alone. Their hands swung by their sides, brushing up against each other causing the pair to jump every time.
[Y/N] shrugged. "My summer was..." Was there even a word to describe her summer? "...interesting."
Harry raised an eyebrow at her, "how so?"
[Y/N] felt relieved at the fact that they'd reached the classroom, meaning she didn't have to answer. What would she say anyways? 'Yeah, I was practicing sex with my best friend. No biggie.'
"Careful where you sit," their teacher warned them, "because it'll be your seat for the rest of the year. Choose wisely."
Peter still wasn't one hundred percent used to his super hearing so loud places — such as this classroom — still drove him insane. It's like his sense were dialed up to eleven. Talk about sensory overload.
"Do you want to sit together?" Peter heard Harry asked. Slowly, Peter turned his head to see him talking to [Y/N].
He watched as a light blush arose on her cheeks and nodded profusely. He sighed as she slid into the desk beside Harry.
"Since when did [Y/N] and Harry Asshole— sorry Osborn hang out?" Ned asked, following Peters gaze.
The brunette boy shrugged, he didn't feel like talking about Harry and [Y/N]. "So, today we're going to just dip our feat into the wonderful world that is grade ten chemistry."
Peter found himself zoning out and staring at [Y/N] and Harry way too many times. Why were they sitting so close? It didn't matter — Peter needed to focus!
It felt like a millenia had passed before the bell rang, signalling it was time for their next class; history. It's not that Peter hated history, he just found it extremely boring.

"Hey," Peter said, jogging to catch up to [Y/N]. Her and Harry had parted ways as the blue eyed boy had geography rather than history. "What class do you have next?"
"History, you?"
"Same."
"Cool, do you wanna sit together? I really don't wanna end up sitting with George." [Y/N] said jokily.
George was a kid who'd repeated Sophomore year at least three teams. He also had boundary and hygiene issues. Liz had warned them about him on their decathlon group chat. Apparently she had to sit next to him all through sophomore Physics and it was torture.
Peter felt bad for George. He was probably a nice guy — he just needed to shower more.
"Ladies first," [Y/N] joked as she held the door open for Peter.
"Ha ha ha." Peter says sarcastically, walking through the door.
"Man, I really thought you two would get together." Ned said to Peter, who was staring at [Y/N] and Harry. They were sitting at a table alone.
Peters turns to Ned, a frown on his face. "Why would you think that?"
Ned rolled his eyes. "Come on Peter. It's so obvious that you like her."
Peters eyes widened, shaking his head he replied quickly. "What— no I don't... I look at her like th—the close good friend she is," he rambled, his voice unusually high.
Ned raised his eyebrows. "You're a really bad liar, just saying."
Peter stayed silent for a moment. "Okay, maybe I like her. It doesn't matter because she doesn't like me back."
"You never know," Ned said optimistically, his eyes focused on [Y/N] and Harry. "They could just be really good friends too."
At that moment, [Y/N] rested her head on Harry's shoulder. "Yeah, just friends." Peter spat, suddenly not feeling hungry.

"Why don't you just date someone else — to get over [Y/N]?" Michelle suggested, causing both boys to jump.
"How long have you been there?" Ned demanded, clutching his chest.
Michelle shrugged. "Long enough."
"What do you mean date someone else?" Peter asked, "I don't know if you realised but there's not exactly hundreds of girls lining up to date me."
"Apparently Liz Allen thinks your hot — not sure why but she does. I heard her and Betty talking in the bathroom."
Peter and Ned stayed silent for a moment before bursting out laughing.
"Yeah, right!" Peter said between laughs.
Sure, Peter thought Liz was very pretty. There was even a time last year when he had a small crush on her. But [Y/N] was always there, taking up most of his mind.

It’s the year 1647AR. The World of Ereath has survived dozens of millennia ever since the sudden arrival of the extradimensional energy known as Ehror. The ever present godlike beings known as Royals have be silent for the past fifty years causing panic within people in the know. Of course all of this is unknown to Sevyn and her companions who have recently escaped a facility created by The Red Sun. They have been experimented on turning them into Novas, being granted with a level of Ehror beyond that of an average user. They would explore this world to expose its secrets and to keep their freedom from being snatched away by their former makers. However there is something about Sevyn that draws her companions to her, a side of her that could lead to the destruction of this world. Posting every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Hello everyone, Unfortunately this is discontinued as I writing a few things irl got in the way, and upon tryign to come back I realized that the story was nto quite going how I wanted to do anyway, so I went back to the drawing board and have started another story instead which I feel firs my original idea a lot better than this one does. It would be called Myriad Worlds Above.

The Saga of Geir Røshjert
"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this." This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place. He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people. But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me. Røshjert (My Submission for Royal Road's Writing Competition in June 2022)

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.

Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
