《A Melissa x Midoriya Fic》20: News Alert
Advertisement
I wake up on the couch with Melissa on me. I check my phone and All Might cancelled training because he had something important. I sigh and look down at my sleeping girlfriend and kiss her on the forehead before falling back to sleep.
I wake up and notice almost everyone is up and Mina is just taking pictures like the ship freak she is. I just sigh and try to shake Melissa awake. She groans and sits up a bit before laying back on me. "Okay, can't sleep all day. Wake up," I say nudging her. She tightens her grip on me and I started coughing because I was loosing air. "And she says she doesn't have a quirk," I manage to squeak out. Mineta walks over and says smugly, "Yeah, her quirk is having the tits of an angel." "Hey, could you come over here Mineta?" "No! I know what you'll do!" he yells running. "Hey Mineta," Shinso says. Mineta replies then stands in place. "Go over to Midoriya," Shinso says giving me a thumbs up. I grab his head and he wakes up, then I shock him as he screams for the heavens before falling down. Melissa wakes up after all of the screaming and we get up for breakfast.
After breakfast and getting dressed, we decide to go for a casual walk. It was a nice morning, though it was going to rain later in the afternoon. We head into a small shop and we looked around for nothing in particular. "Izu. Look at this thing," Melissa says walking up to me with a cat statue make of amethyst. "It's beautiful. You want it?" I ask while looking at the amazing detailing. "Nah. It may be cute but it's not for me," she says putting it down. I shrug and continue looking around. I grab the cat statue when she leaves the area and give myself a smile.

After a few more minutes, I tell Melissa to wait outside while I pay for some of the stuff we got. I got a dreamcatcher in case I get some weird dreams, and she got a tote bag with a panda on it. I also bought the cat statue to surprise her, thinking it would be a nice thing to do. I walk outside and see Melissa looking at the clouds. "Oh, Izu. Look at that cloud, it looks like a bunny right?" she askes while pointing to the sky. I look at the cloud and nod. "Hey, I got the stuff, and a surprise for ya," I say reaching into the bag. "It wasn't that cat statue right. I told you I don't want it," she says as I pull it out and she grabs it and hugs me. "Faking it?" I ask. "Faking it."
We start to walk to the dorms when it starts to rain. Luckily I brought my umbrella so we weren't soaking wet. We walk in and see everyone doing their normal stuff. We head to my dorm to relax the rest of the day. I put down my bag and lay on my bed while she turns on the tv. I text All Might to ask why he cancelled today's training. He said he had some hero matters to work with. I found that weird since he retired. I ask him about this so called hero matters and he didn't reply. I got a bit worried but knowing All Might, he'd tell me, or have someone tell me, if he was in danger. I go back to what I was doing and just chill.
After a while, I get a text saying that he was sorry for not responding and that he was fine if I worried. I send him a thumbs up emoji and turn off my phone. There wasn't much going on that day except for a few villains in the area that were dealt with pretty quickly. Then there was some breaking news about several Nomu running amuck down town. I jolt up and check the window. I see smoke coming from a few blocks away. I book it downstairs grabbing my suit on the way. "Y'all see the news?" I ask putting on my sleeves. Everyone said yes and Bakugo, Todoroki, Kota, Mina and Kaminari grabbed their suits. We ran outside and I texted Melissa, 'Hero mission. Don't worry. Will bring back food. *heart emoji*.' She didn't reply or anything but I knew she was worried about my and the others.

The Trials of Bethany
Bethany, is a young girl who didn't expect anything more from her life than to spend her time churning butter and trying to ignore the abuse of her fellow village members. In any other world this would be a reasonable expectation for a person in the middle ages. But Bethany was lucky, or unlucky depending on how you look at it. Because her world was about to get a whole lot bigger, and a whole lot scarier. The Trials of Bethany, is a Gamelit story of a system arriving on earth in the middle ages with the characters being teleported away regularly to face trials to earn their skill levels. As such there won't be a flood of skills however there will be constant progression and other hidden treats. The story will be evolving as it's written and as always aspects of the story/world are prone to change. This is my first serious attempt at writing and my first time publishing anywhere so all constructive criticism is welcome. Currently uploading Tuesday & Friday with occasional bonus chapters.
8 199Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
8 319Necromancer and Co.
In a time before the existence of the present, the gods decided to create a plane of existence where all their creations could exist in the same place. In it, all would be fair, and all gaps between races and technological advancements could be crossed with a single system that the gods had created. Every year, the gods would choose a new race to put in their land, and in this new group of beautifully unlucky people, Alen, his friends, and a few people from Earth have finally met their turn to be tossed into the playground of the gods. Unfortunately though, Alen was thrust into a forest of corpse-eating bears and horribly smelly undead on his first day, one of the many danger-zones of the continent the gods had chosen to throw them in. It would be easy to say that he simply died within the first day, or that he'd starved to death or whatever, but let's be honest... That story would be no fun to tell, yes? (Re-write of my first fiction with the same name.)
