《Into the Shadows》Chapter 3: The Pizza
Advertisement
I had 3 pizzas in my warming drawer, but if the amount of pizza my younger brothers could eat alone told me anything, we would probably eat all of it between the five of us. The guys would be arriving soon and I was just waiting to buzz them in.
I was dancing around the living room with Back Door playing from Cat's surround sound system when the buzz came from the box by the door. I clicked the unlock button and yelled through the intercom over the music, "Come on in!"
I went to grab my phone from the couch to change the music but I couldn't find it.
"Crap where did it go?" I looked under the couch and between the cushions but I could not find it.
I heard a knock at the door, so I just manually turned down the volume. I would look for my phone later. I left the same playing low in the background.
"Coming!" I yelled as I jogged over to let them in.
I opened the door and Sam stood there with three other guys. I was hoping at least one of them would be kind of short, but they all kind of tower over me.
"Hey everyone!" I smiled moving aside so they could come in the apartment.
"Hey, Lia," Sam greeted as he stepped inside, "This is Colby, Corey, and Jake."
He pointed to each of the guys as he spoke.
Colby wore a blue sweatshirt with ripped black jeans and doc martins. Corey wore a camouflage sweatshirt and black joggers. Jake wore all black with a beanie that matched his dyed hair.
"It's nice to finally meet you all!" I smiled, shaking their hands, "I'm excited to be a part of your project!"

"Nice to meet you too," Colby smiled as he shook my hand.
Jake seemed kind of shy, so I shook his hand with a smile.
"You're so nice," Corey looked at Sam a bit stunned, "You didn't say she was so nice."
"I also didn't mention there's pizza." Sam laughed.
"You guys agreed to come here without knowing about the pizza?" I laughed, "Man, I really thought that was going to be the deciding factor for whether or not you came to a complete strangers apartment."
"Yeah..." Colby made a face as he thought about how stupid their decision could have been, "We really didn't think about that."
"I guess that's what a life of breaking into abandoned places and act first think later will do to you." I joked.
"Oh, so you've watched our channel before?" Colby raised an eyebrow at Sam.
"I binged it after Sam said I got the job. I figured I better try to know a thing or two about the guys I'll be working with." I pointed at Jake, "You're much more talkative on camera, you don't have to be shy! I promise I don't bite."
He smiled a bit, "I'm a little shy meeting new people."
"But when he gets comfortable, get ready for a whole lot of dirty jokes." Corey assured me.
"So many..." Sam agreed.
"Dirty, dirty jokes." Colby added.
"From your videos, I'm just going to expect them from all of you."
"They don't make you uncomfortable?" Corey looked a bit surprised
"They're hilarious why would they? Girls can find dirty jokes funny!" I laughed as I headed off toward the kitchen to grab the pizza.

"Do you need any help?" Sam asked.
"I got it!" I called.
I turned to walk out of the kitchen and saw my phone sitting next to the glass of water I had been drinking earlier.
"Yes! I found it! Ha Ha!" I put it in my jeans back pocket as I walked back out into the main room where they were all sitting on the couch.
"Found what?" Colby asked.
"My phone, I was looking for it when you guys buzzed in so I could change the music. It was in the kitchen but I was convinced it was on the couch." I laughed it off.
"Ah," he got quiet for a second leaning close to the speaker to his right, "This is a cool song, I didn't really hear it when I came in. I can't hear the words but it has a nice beat."
"Its k-pop, you probably don't know it." I laughed, a bit embarrassed.
"Oh, like those BTS guys?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, different k-pop group." I said turning it up a bit so they could hear the song.
"Cool!" Jake nodded.
I turned it off and shut down the speaker system as I joined them on the couch, passing out plates.
"I got one cheese, one pepperoni, and one half cheese half Hawaiian. I hope it's enough."
"Three is definitely enough." Sam laughed.
"My brothers could each eat a large pizza by themselves, " I laughed, "I almost bought five."
"If I was really hungry I might be able to eat a whole one." Colby eyed the pizza slice in his hand like he was sizing up an opponent.
"Last time you did that, you got sick," Jake teased.
The night continued like that. We all got to know each other better, mostly me getting to know them and them getting to know me.
When they left that night, I had a feeling that this was going to be the most fun job I had ever had. I was honestly super excited. In a week and a half, we would all meet at LAX to start our crazy adventure.

Forgotten Dungeon
Death comes quickly and without warning. Even for such little personage as him. It's quite hard to start as a dungeon core. Quite harder when divine bureaucracy simply dumps you in the a** end of nowhere because of their incompetence and because of your agent status as a Fallen Angel. Yet Uno (temporary name) is used to working with subpar materials and making the best of circumstances. It doesn't help that his personality was cut down to size, but he tries to overcome the system with ingenuity and a healthy dose of duct tape. Or the local equivalent of such. *** An audiobook of the Forgotten Dungeon story has been made by Agro Squerrils and is available on YouTube, under this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcfzFNUhrNS3Z7DfjN5pMWn-CI1uKg3s2 He has my permission and full support for doing so, so don't be shy and check it out! *** Hello people! It's a story about a dungeon. Or maybe the dungeon? Who knows. Dumped in a hostile world, working hard to overcome circumstances. There is an RPG system in place, but I'll try to make it not number-heavy. I would be more focused on skills - at least from the perspective of the sentient races. Dungeons will have their own little playground. I'll try to make MC not overpowered - it always irks me how the stories tend to go from zero to hero in a few minutes. I hope y'all will enjoy the ride! *** Also, a Discord server has been made recently: https://discord.gg/sK2pam3 Join and share your opinions, if interested! :)

Anti-Martial Academy: PRiSMA Saga (LN)
{A crossover based on a Visual Novel still in the works called ‘PRiSMA’, and heavily inspired by the Light Novel called ‘Anti-Magic Academy’. Thus, the plot and events are reminiscent of the latter.} The denizens of the underworld, Anima and long forgotten Martial Artists of the Murim, both allied with each other to fight humanity.

In the stalemate that followed, the new Magi went through a technological revolution. In the current era of peace, the Anti-Martial Academy was made to fight off those Martial Artists infiltrating the Earthland Domain. In the present, the ‘Red Queen’ was demoted back into the Academy. Forced to join the ‘Support Squad’, a team of outcasts who can’t fight even to save their lives, the one most uncomfortable became Fritz Lazrik, the leader that seemed too much like a pushover. Wielding a MagiPen in hand, he has the small hope of being able to beat the ‘monster’ joining them. The start of their legend begins...————I have posted this on other sites.
