"Hello?" Luka said into his phone. We were in the car on our way to his new house. After having the meeting in the church, Luka barked a few orders, and we left.
I watched as he listened intently to the person he was speaking to. He seemed upset as he spoke back in Italian. I watched as the vein in his neck started to buldge through his olive skin. He shouted one last thing in Italian before hanging up the phone.
"What?" I asked, as he ran his hands down his face.
"We're having guests next week," he told me through clenched teeth.
"What's so bad about that?" I asked with a shrug.
"They're going to be staying for two weeks," he answered.
"Shit," I mumbled. I groaned as my phone started to ring.
"What?" I snapped through the phone.
"Is that any way to greet your father?" My dad said through the phone.
"Oh my bad," I said, "what the hell do you want old man?"
He sighed, "I just wanted to check on you, say congratulations."
"Suck it. Now go home," I said before hanging up on him.
"So, this is what we're going to do-," Luka started before I interrupted him.
"Don't ever talk to me as if you're in charge. We won't be deciding anything until we get to your house," I said bluntly.
Just as I said that, we pulled up to the house. I draped a sheer black scarf over my face and waited for the driver to open the door.
"Thank you," I said sweetly as he helped me out of the car.
When I walked into the house, my jaw dropped instantly. It was an absolute mess, the furniture was ugly, there was a hideous rug in the middle of the floor, and the drapes didn't match anything. I walked up the extravagant staircase into the master bedroom and was instantly filled with regret. "Jesus Christ, I married a blind man," I mumbled as I continued to observe the house.

"This is not going to work," I announced as I descended the staircase.
"What?" Luka asked from the ugly couch.
"This furniture is making me itch," I said, looking at the mismatched loveseat and recliner.
"What do you want me to do about it?" He asked, nonchalantly.
"I will kill you and roll your body up in that ugly ass rug. Take me to the furniture store now," I demanded.
"You know you don't scare me, right?" He said, grabbing his coat from the coat rack next to the door.
"I should beat your ass with that coat rack," I threatened, walking behind him out of the door.
"You might want to put that thing back on your face," he said as we walked to the garage.
"Why, there's no one around," I observed.
"I know, I'm just tired of looking at you" he insulted, opening the passenger door for me.
"Fuck you," I chuckled, pulling the door closed.

Many islands dotted the vast oceans of this world. However, some of these islands were a lot more sinister than the rest. These islands, known as Nightmare Islands, were true nightmares to all but the strongest and most fortunate. Children were kidnapped and thrown on these isolated islands by the Nightmare Palace. There, they were forced to sign soul pacts with evil soul pets: Nightmares. These devils slowly devoured the souls of their trainers to grow stronger. If the children did not cultivate fast enough, then their souls would be devoured whole, leaving only an empty husk behind.Chu Mu, the protagonist, was an heir to the Chu Clan, but due to a plotted murder, he was thrown to the island, sentencing him to almost certain death. Dancing on the edge of life and death, he struggled to survive with a small Moonlight Fox he captured.

Checkpoint
as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”. now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably. /————————————————— this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen. if you’re want world building check out hitchhikers guide to checkpoint (an encyclopedia of what I made up with lots more explanation)
