《Seventeen One-Shots》REVISED (2) °Hoshi°
Advertisement
You sat in the library, typing a paper on your personal laptop. You finished typing it up but didn't want to go back to class. You turned your VPN on and logged into a chat room you were in and proceeded to look for clothes online
You got a message from your best friend, Soonyoung.
S-Get offline!
Y- Why should I?
S- You should be in class! Not on the computer!
Y- I'm working on class stuff.
S- No you aren't. You're looking at dresses.
Y- How'd you know that? -_-
S- Look behind you. lol
You turned around and Soonyoung waved at you.
S- Go for the green ombre one. It's really pretty.
Y- Go away.
S- That's rude.
You rolled your eyes and motioned for him to come over. He sat with you and looked at your screen. "Any reason why we're skipping class to look at dresses?" "I have a formal dinner coming up and I really hate school." "You mean your parents have a formal dinner that they are being forced to drag you along?" "Butt hole." You hit him in the arm. "What's the formal dinner for?" "My dad got a new job and it's how his boss wants to welcome him to the company. I actually don't want to go but mom said she won't let me take theatre anymore if I don't go...so I need to find a dress and a stupid date." You groaned. "That's gonna be hard. Who'd wanna be seen in public with you?" He joked.
You looked at him in disbelief. "I'm gonna cry. You are so mean." You pouted. "Oh come on. You know I was just kidding. I can name 5 dudes who'd wanna date you." "I don't believe that."

Soonyoung accepted your challenge and proceeded to name names.
"Woozi." "I'm taller than him." "Everyone is. Jeonghan." "He's prettier than me." "Jun." "He's to....to Jun." "Seungchol." You laughed a little. "We're cousins." "Okay...So I could name 4. Most girls get excited when I say Seungchol wants to date them so I figured it'd work for you too. I am sorry for suggesting him." "It's fine. You said you could name 5. You only named 4."
"You might not like the 5th one. " "I didn't like the first 4." Soonyoung took your laptop from you and clicked on a few things. He then pulled out a credit card. "What are you doing?" "Ordering porn...what do you think I'm doing." He joked. He gave you your laptop back and you noticed he ordered a really pretty dress. He got up and left.
Your phone buzzed and you got a text from Soonyoung
S-I'm the 5th guy. Can I take you to the dinner?
Y-You're kidding right?
S-I've liked you since we were 12. I'm tired of the friendzone. Let me take you to dinner.
Y- Okay.
S- Does that mean you'll be my girlfriend?
Y- Sure
S- Awesome. Can you bring me my credit card at lunch? I kinda left it.
Y-Can I copy the number?
S-If it means I get my card back then sure.
I love reading my old work and laughing at my own lame jokes. That statement isn't exactly relevant to this specific chapter but still lol.

Galactic Economics
Humanity enters the galaxy and makes First Contact, only to begin to realize that not everything is at it seems. It appears that the galactic alien community has forgotten to invent some rather important economic concepts that human civilization has taken for granted. This is a look at a hypothetical galactic scale barter economy, how that would work, or how as one of our main characters Sarah realizes... it doesn't. And as the galaxy falls apart at the seams, it's up to the best and brightest in humanity to put things back together. Story contains a lot about markets, logistics, development, and the best and worst of human history. Not so much Space Marines nuking aliens. If you enjoyed the trade negotiations and Senate politics in the Star Wars prequels, and wished that there was an entire standalone story consisting solely of those parts, this might be for you! Galactic Economics is also posted on reddit here.

8 103A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."
