"Goodbye Naruto nii-chan!!!" Inari yelled as they were at the gates.
Naruto waved, "Make me proud Inari."
"I will Naruto nii-chan!!!" Naruto smiled.
"Thank you all so much for everything!!!" The villagers yelled.
"No problem!!" Sakura yelled back with a smile on her face.
"Hn," Sasuke said and turned away with a smile on his face. Everyone else on the team waved. They then turned around and walked out of the village.
After a day of walking, they finally decided to settle down and set up camp.
"Now my cute little genin, we need someone to take the first shift on watch duty."
"Kakashi. I'll take watch duty for the whole night. You know I hate sleeping." Naruto responded. Everyone looked at him.
"Naruto?" Sakura wondered.
"Are you sure?" Kakashi asked. Naruto nodded. "Fine then. Go to sleep my cute little genin." Kakashi smiled at them. The two looked at each other and they both shrugged. Naruto sighed as he watched them all crawl into their respective tents. He jumped up into a tree and sat down.
Naruto closed his eyes and got into a lotus position. He quickly got into Sage mode and searched around the area. He found no one lurking around within 15 miles of their current location and decided to settle down. He went into his mindscape and saw the big, orange, fuzzball laying on his arms, fast asleep. Suddenly, Kurama opened one eye and looked at the blondie standing in front of him.
"Yo, Kurama."
"I'm bored and I'm on guard duty so I can't sleep. Save me from my boredom!!!!" Naruto whined.
"Up all night?" Kakashi asked.
"Yeah. Talked to Kurama most of the time. Dozed off a little, trained a bit. You know, the usual." Naruto shrugged. Kakashi sighed and shook his head.

"You may be commander, but you're still a child. You still need your sleep and rest." Kakashi scolded. Naruto shrugged.
"Meh. No, I don't. I rarely get tired. I once went 3 weeks without sleeping. By now, my body has already adapted to it, besides, I linked my body to Kurama so he does all the sleeping for me. It's very convenient. It's kind of similar to the principle of shadow clones."
"Hmm..." Kakashi sighed. "You're always Kurama, Kurama, Kurama. He hasn't taken my place has he?" Naruto laughed.
"You both were there for me so you both have a special place in my heart that no one can take away." Naruto smiled and Kakashi sighed and pouted. "But you till favor me over Kurama though right?"
Naruto sighed, "I don't have favorites Kakashi."
"Aww come one!!" Kakashi complained.
"Kurama!!! You know that's not true!!!" Naruto scolded.
Kakashi pouted and turned his head away from the fox.
Naruto face-palmed, "Are you guys really older than me?"
They both sweatdropped and laughed awkwardly. Suddenly, Sasuke, Sakura, Haku, and Zabuza came out of their tent after getting woken up by the ruckus outside. Sakura and Haku took one look at chibi form Kurama and suddenly there were flowers surrounding her. They ran to the fox and picked him up.
"AWWWWW!!!!! HE'S SO CUTE!!!!" They both fangirled.
Sakura stopped and looked at the fox, "What? Aren't you just a regular fox?"
"You're starting to sound like an Uchiha too you know, Kurama," Naruto laughed.
Naruto looked over at Sasuke and saw confusion in his eyes.
"Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"How does that fox know about the Uchiha clan? He's definitely not normal since he's a talking fox and with nine tails too..." Suddenly, something clicked in Sasuke and Sakura's heads. Sakura immediately let go of the fox and widened her eyes. She backed up a few steps and so did Sasuke. Kurama sighed and looked back up at Naruto who had his hands on his hips and shaking his head.

"Guys, it's fine. He won't hurt you." Naruto reassured. Sasuke and Sakura both lowered their stances but still looked skeptical.
"Naruto, that's the nine-tailed fox. He rampaged in the village and nearly destroyed the leaf if not for the fourth Hokage," Sakura said.
"I know that. But something that you both don't know is..." Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Nevermind, you guys aren't ranked high enough for me to tell you this," Naruto sighed as he shook his head. He took a glance at Kakashi who also sighed.
"What do you mean we're not high enough rank?" Sasuke asked.
"What I mean is that this is an SS rank secret that only a few people know about. It can not be shared with mere genin." Naruto explained.
"But Naruto, Aren't you a genin too?" Sasuke asked.
"Well... I told you before. I'll tell you when you become chunin"
Sakura continued to look at the furball in Haku's hands with wide eyes. She slowly approached him with a stick in her hand. She started poking and prodding him which resulted in Kurama getting a tick mark.
Sakura jumped back with surprise and dropped the stick.
Sakura cocked her head to the side, "Naruto?"
Sakura looked at Naruto, "What's the Kyuubi talking about?"
Naruto heard it and smiled. "Sakura, The nine-tails has a name too you know."
Kurama looked up at Naruto and grinned. Naruto winked back.
Sakura cocked her head in confusion. "What? I thought his name was the Kyuubi."
"No, that's only his title, not his name. Most people don't know what his real name truly is." Naruto said as he took the fox from Haku which earned him a series of complaints. Kurama leaned into Naruto's touch and started nuzzling him. Naruto laughed. Sakura slowly walked over to the blondie. She slowly put her hand on Kurama's orange fur in an attempt to pet him. She succeeded. Kurama was skeptical at first but after a while, leaned into her touch and started purring from both their touches. Sakura suddenly lost all her fear she had and she grabbed the bundle of fur.
"AWWWWW!!!!! I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE!!! YOU ARE THE CUTEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! YOU ARE SO FLUFFY AND SOFT AND SOOOO ADORABLE!!!!! AHHHH I LOVE YOU!!! I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU!!!!" Sakura squealed.

We reincarnated as a two-headed dragon!
Kyle Lewis 25 years old, business man and Amelia Evans 18 years old, high school student otaku don’t know each other. They both died at the same time and reincarnated as a two-headed dragon. They now share the same body and must cooperate to survive in an unknown world. LITRPG story with levels, skills... Note: This is my first novel. Sorry for any mistakes. English is not my native language.
8 372Arduous New World
Alright, so I'm using this as a whetstone to practice my fiction writing. I have dyslexia, so bear with me if I have any mistakes, if you point them out I'll try and correct them. The story is LitRPG, I'll try and avoid some of the tropes, see FAQ. What happens is that the world turns out to be a simulation coming to an end, and beginning on its new simulation, in this process the system of the universe declares that the new simulation will be rpg-based. The protagonist however is thrust into an empty space before the simulation comes to an end, he escapes and finds that the world as he knew it is gone.Chapters will come sporadically as I'm quite busy IRL. FAQ1: There will be no Harem. 2: If any sexual content, it will be be below the screen, example sentence [they made love - or - they had sex]3: I'll try to keep character motivations steady instead of having characters who says and does one thing in one chapter, only to change their mind in the next one. 3: Villains or "bad guys" won't be charicatures. Of course, as in real life, you can meet these people, but as far as big bads or antagonists goes, they will have some modicum of intelligence. 4: The MC does not have an encyclopedia of random knowledge. 5: OP'ness won't happen overnight, and it is something that I'm wary of in terms of adding it, of course eventually the MC will grow more powerful, but there won't be any cheats, except hard work; and the luck factor will be more or less similar to the rest of the population. 6: He won't be opposing the universe, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant7: he won't become friends with god/the ghost in the shell etc, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant, and an ancient simulation ai has no interest anyway, why would it ? Okay that's that for now.

8 120Dream Dungeon

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.

8 84Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?
