Few days later Anthony felt a little bit better.
Anthony could be seen grabbing some lunch meal from nearby fastfood and headed home from the office, as in workplace office.
Even though he hated that place to begin with, he had no encounter with any drama whatsoever this past days. Sales ran smoothly with the big boss was nowhere to be seen. So the boss was off to DC to attend a meeting or something; he'd be there for little over a week, which was better that what Anthony had hoped for.
As a manager of inventory department, he spent most of the time making sure the product flow was relevant to record, either it was sales for clients or additional purchase stock, or possibly product obsolence. Sounded so complicated, which was true, but he didn't need to stick around doing paperwork behind desk. Often times he drove around to check warehouse or shipping facilities. Often so he came home and supervised the operation remotely from his bed - thus he went home early after lunch.
There was also something to be taken care of at home anyway.
Anthony had reached out somebody who would love to make a thumbnail. Apparently Anthony gave up and decided to ask his family for help. His cousin then came up with a name. Her name was Erica and she was a indy artist, mostly doing waterpaint art. Although she started to learn digital art for few months now and was willing to make thumbnail for him. So far he liked what she made, leading him finally upload a full content video with a thumbnail. And today he was scheduled to receive a new thumbnail for his GTA V video he just played last night.

So there he sat, with one laptop wide open showing some business charts and other documents he needed to check, with his iPad signed in to mail to check any sent attachments, and a plate of McNuggets on the table in front of him.
By the time he finished lunch, he decided to check his friends for recent messages and gameplay invites. On his Discord chat he concluded that four people were actually playing right now. And then he found that later on this evening there would be another GTA V gameplay again.
Reluctantly he agreed to play tonight.
That said, perhaps he could spend the rest of his afternoon doing... what? What could he do, besides staring directly into the LCD screen for so many hours?
Gym? That sounded so tiring already.
Maybe go for a little walk near the neighborhood? He thought about it while glancing at his car key. Oh, he had other things in mind that already prevented him to go for walk; so, no walks.
At this point he decided to go to a quick nap instead.
But not before a quick lookout on social media.
As he went through his Instagram he couldn't help but notice growth of his followers everyday. And the comments, he received funny comments and supportive greetings from people across the globe, who had been following his journey from 2012.
He reminisced the old times when he grew as a person, as a Panda; how these people helped him along the road.
Oh these people, so precious.
And then he found a new post by none other than Melina.
Yes, till this day he still followed her social media account; only because he wanted to be normal between them, like nothing ever happened. Not even breakups could ever defeated him so much to the point of unfollowing, or worse, blocking a social media. That was just a sign that you've been belittled by life - at least that was what Anthony thought.

So pure keeping good terms of a life of one another, and the rest of friends - and not for stalking (?)
But then he noticed a picture was just posted an hour ago, right after Melina's.
And he couldn't help but to put a huge smile on his face. Pokemon always got him into a good mood.
It was Mami and she had just posted a picture of bunch of people doing what looked like costume play for Pokemon, although he wasn't quite sure which one was her. She wrote a caption in language he couldn't understand, but after translation, it appeared that she attended annual party held by her workplace. Now that was cool.
@bigjiggly: omg this is sick! Who are you tho lol i cant find you
He decided to comment, which immediately she replied:
look harder lol
Truly he was about to put extra effort to recognize her but then another picture came into a view. This time it was Mami dressed as Jessie from Team Rocket, posing along with James. Aha, so she was on the picture.
Smiling quietly, Anthony then scrolled over to see more posts on his feed.

The Preying City
The city calls for you. It spins a web around your vulnerable self. Lulls you into a cozy sleep and tightens its grip on you. There is NO escape from the city. The city of Kindlewich entices everyone with promises of riches and happiness. It harbors supernaturals with unimaginable powers while the masses remain ignorant. The strong prey on the weak and the weak exploit each other. The cover art is by Arnaud Imobersteg, a brilliant architecture visualizer. Please show him some love if you can. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8xlvO
8 204Super Sekken (An Action Shonen Story)
This is the author’s first story ever written. It may not be great, but do check it out, and I hope you enjoy! I’m currently working on its sequel. Hope. Courage. Self-value. Friends. These all were traits that former junior high soccer champion and first year Miyuki Sekken had none of until she first walked into the doors of her local High School. Despite being a sports athlete phenomenon in her school district, Miyuki dreaded its attention, and even quit her career in pursuit of living a simplistic daily routine. This daily routine would be inevitably interrupted when she chooses to 'branch out' by talking to people. Whether it be a chance of bad luck, fate, or karma, Sekken ends up speaking to someone who was unknowingly suffering from a curse: a curse that causes anyone who tries to get close to them to disappear. Miyuki Sekken would be the next victim, finding herself face-to-face against a once-thought mythical mafia. This gang is not just any gang either, but one who is run solely by the school students of Maguro High, who hold secrets to powers unheard of by the world. How will this first year survive? Will she conquer her anxiety and thwart the gang's vicious rule? Or will she end up losing more than she could have imagined? P.S. I am not a good drawer, so I use Picrews and photo editors to get the general idea for my characters' designs. Rights to the Picrews used go to their respective authors.
8 188The Barracuda Street Adventurers' Guild
Darazzo, the famous City of Dreams with its iconic network of canals, is a crossroads for the world. Its close connection to the plane of magic fills the city with magical pools, leading into the Depths. Those who dive into these pools and explore the Depths can find hidden spells and powerful artifacts, if they can survive the dangers. It's said that any dream can be fulfilled, if only you can dive deep enough. Ruling the city's rough streets are the Diver Guilds, who owe their power to their control of the unique magic and treasures they extract from the Depths. Against this cutthroat backdrop, three down on their luck women will seek their fortune by founding their own guild. The ever expanding ranks of the Barracuda Street girls will face monsters, foreign agents, cultists, and rival guilds as they carve out a place for themselves in the City of Dreams.
8 375HAVEN
Troy Halloway, a war hero turned private investigator is called into the Haven City Mayor's office to find out who tried to kill him, and why. What makes everything worse, is that Troy is set to marry the man's daughter, making the situation personal--and dangerous.
8 95Clarent Saga: Chronicles
Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I've been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game which is in Early Access on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.
