《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 180
Advertisement
So far, Thanksgiving dinner had been going well. Right now, Oliver felt like his biggest accomplishment was keeping Emiko from attacking his mother, since he knew that while she didn't blame or Thea for what had happened, especially since Oliver had been helping to make up for it, he knew that she did rightfully place the blame on his mother, since she was the one who'd forced Robert to abandon Emiko and her mother.
Jasmine was of course being doted on as usual by Moira, who had practically ripped her out of Laurel's arms the moment they arrived, not that Laurel minded, since while she loved her daughter, it would be nice to be able to talk to grown ups without having to keep certain words out of the conversation, since while Jasmine didn't even know what words were yet, Laurel didn't want to risk one of her first ones being something dirty.
They were all sitting down for dinner when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Who's that?" Oliver asked.
"I don't know. I thought all the guests had arrived." Moira said as she gestured to have a member of the mansion staff go and find out who it was.
To everyone's surprise, when the staff member returned with Laurel's mother of all people.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Laurel asked.
"I'm sorry for crashing your Thanksgiving, but it was sort of a last minute decision to come here. I hope it's okay." Dinah said nervously.
"Of course. I actually prepared in case you did decide to accept my invitation." Moira said with a smile.
"I thought that you'd be celebrating with Sara, since they're already in Central City." Laurel said.
"True, but here I have a granddaughter that I don't want to completely forget about me. I already talked to Sara and she's actually the one who encouraged me to come here." Dinah said and Laurel was shocked and so was Quentin.

"Please, take a seat." Moira said, referring to the empty chair that suddenly made sense at the table.
"Thank you." Dinah said as she sat down.
"So, how long are you in town for?" Oliver asked his mother-in-law.
"A few days. I'm heading back to Central City this weekend. I hope that I can spend some time with my granddaughter before I go." Dinah said, looking at Laurel, since it was her choice.
"Of course you can mom." Laurel said and Dinah smiled at her thankfully.
"So, when were you going to tell me that your mom invited my mom to Thanksgiving?" Laurel asked her husband after dinner.
"Uh, when she walked in because I was as in the dark about that as you were." Oliver said and Laurel could he meant it.
"I really wish she would've called first." Laurel said.
"Are you okay?" Oliver asked.
"Honestly, half the time I can't even think about my mom without screaming. I mean, she abandoned my dad and I when we needed her the most." Laurel said.
"I know. But she was also grieving and maybe that was just her way of doing it." Oliver said.
"Maybe, but still." Laurel said.
"Hey, maybe she's trying to make up for it." Oliver said.
"How can she really be making up for it when she won't even stay in the same state as us for more than a few days. I mean, dad and I both live here in Star City and Sara lives in National City." Laurel said.
"You know, you should be lucky that your mom is trying to make an effort now." Oliver said and Laurel knew that he was thinking about his father.
"This isn't like your dad." Laurel said.
"Actually it is. My dad made a lot of mistakes, even bigger and more terrible mistakes then what your mom did, and yet, despite all that, I still miss him. All I'm saying is that maybe you should try and work things out with your mother. Maybe if you make her feel more welcome in Star City, she'll feel more compelled to stay here." Oliver said.
"Maybe." Laurel said as she thought about it.

8 138Re: Now I'm a Demon, So What?
Description An Isekai-Oriented LitRPG lite, Game of Thrones type (HBO version) set in alternate-Italy during the Renaissance. Warning! This story contains strong sexual themes. Most of it is incidental sexy stuff as opposed to romantic. There is also some sexual violence and themes of revenge and trauma. Synopsis Moments after being born, the cambion began to grow at an alarming rate and everyone wanted to kill him. He knew there was much he had forgotten... he had a life before. He longed to remember it, but the memory eluded him. Truly, this was a fantasy world of might and magic, but it felt familiar somehow. At any rate, the first priority is to survive. And that meant finding something to eat... Re: Now I'm a Demon, So What? is a story about an outworlder main character, who (as of this moment) discovers he absorbs the powers and aspect of that which he consumes through his devour ability. There are a number of other interesting characters you get to meet as the political landscape is unveiled. Bonus! You are encouraged to post comments regarding what you would like to see show up in future chapters! I would like this fiction to be shaped in large part by reader input, so please don't be shy! Thanks for reading this and hope to get to know you through the comments! Oh, and be nice! What I'm posting here is basically a first draft. If anything important in the early chapters gets edited I'll let you know in the author comments. Your feedback definitely gets weighed to help make the work better.

Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
