"Hey, how was work." Oliver said to Laurel when he entered their penthouse.
"It was fine. How was your trip?" Laurel asked as she got up to greet him and kissed him.
"Productive. Tommy is the new leader of the League of Assassins." Oliver said.
"Wow. I did not see that coming." Laurel said with a smile.
"Yeah, but it was a successful trip, since at least now we don't have to worry about the league messing with us anymore. He said that he'll send us a present for the wedding." Oliver said.
"It's good thing you asked John to be your best man and not him." Laurel said and Oliver nodded as he saw papers on the table.
"What exactly are you working on now?" Oliver asked curiously.
"Trying to find a new deputy mayor, so that there's someone to cover for me while we are in Aruba." Laurel said and Oliver smiled.
"I still can't believe our wedding is in two weeks." Oliver said and Laurel smiled.
"It feels like just yesterday you proposed." Laurel said.
"Have you narrowed down any candidates?" Oliver asked.
"No, but I start interviewing people tomorrow, hopefully then I can start to narrow it down." Laurel said.
"So far Star City has flourished under your leadership." Oliver said with a smile.
"Flattery. What do you want?" Laurel asked.
"I've been doing a lot of thinking about the future lately." Oliver said.
"What about it?" Laurel asked.
"I'm not sure this private investigator thing is actually the best idea." Oliver said.
"I thought you wanted to be a PI?" Laurel asked.
"I did, but honestly, I'm not sure if it's really the smartest career choice in the end." Oliver said.

"What do you mean?" Laurel asked.
"Well, it's not like it pays on a frequent basis. I know that between my inheritance and your salary as the mayor, money won't be a problem, but at the same time." Oliver said.
"You don't want to become dependent on either of those." Laurel said and Oliver nodded.
"So, any ideas on what you might do instead?" Laurel asked.
"You're probably going to think I'm kidding, but maybe actually take a role in Queen Consolidated." Oliver said, not believing with words were actually leaving his mouth as he said them.
"You're joking." Laurel said and Oliver chuckled.
"No, I'm really not. Look, I know that I once said that I never wanted anything to do with the company, but I realized that the promise I made to my father, it doesn't just mean doing what I'm doing now. Righting his wrongs also means righting the wrongs of our family and our family's company. If I take a role in the company, then I can start to make it a truly honest business, something that this city sorely lacking." Oliver said and Laurel nodded her agreement.
"You sure you want to do this?" Laurel asked.
"I think it's something I should've done a while ago. Besides, with the new baby coming, I think that Walter wouldn't mind some help, especially after my new brother or sister gets here." Oliver said.
"I just want to make sure that you're sure you want to do this." Laurel said.
"If I wasn't sure I wanted to do this, I wouldn't have even brought it up to you, since I wanted your input. After all, our relationship is an equal partnership." Oliver said.
"And yet you're still the leader of Team Arrow." Laurel said and Oliver smiled.
"Experience and I am the one who put the team together in the first place." Oliver pointed out.
"Fair point." Laurel said with a smile.

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****

For King and Kin: A Fox's Journey
Two fox-kin siblings set out to serve a human king, hoping to secure ties with the royals that had formed in times of war. Yet, much is demanded of them as their father's reputation precedes them. They find the King struggling to keep his vassals from breaking the terms of the armistice. With reports of smuggling increasing and the nation's strategic resources at stake, their father is sent to oversee the border. The king, fearing for his own children, hopes for six more months. Meanwhile, tavern brawls turn bloody as a cry spreads across the land, "Loyalty? Or bread!". What to expect: - cold steel weapons with magic- colonial-esque era- elements of strategy (including logistics)- powerful mages that can't block a crossbow bolt. Except for some earth mages.- realistic depictions of violence. I don't care to focus on it. - other races introduced eventually, if they fit. - Australian english, except when I slip. Not much slang though, I reckon.

[OLD] The Magus of Imminent Oblivion
AN: This is a pretty shitty novel, in case you haven't already guessed that by the rating. Check out the newer version that I'm writing, since it has more content written and higher quality (I hope). He was a nameless child born at the end of a great war. He gave himself a name, then worked his way to prosperity. He had a job, a wife, a daughter, and his future looked bright. But, then, things changed. His wife and daughter were dead, and a hundred bodies laid strewn across the floor. He couldn't continue to live; he pierced his body with his own sword. Awakening in a new world, his new body burned with an old fury. Where magic was common and power was cheap, he vowed to never let anything get the better of him.
