《Accidentally Adopted by iBallisticSquid》Nicole's Surprise

Izzy's PoV:
I opened my eyes, the room was quite light so I guessed it was around 9am maybe 10. "Hey." Squid was still here, he had stayed awake all night. "Why haven't you told anyone about how you are in care?" Wait how did Squid know? "Amy told me." It was like he read my mind. I sat up and lent against the wall next to Squid. "I have told someone some of it... But now they hate me." I picked up my phone and showed the text from Flo to Squid. "Izzy don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt you." I smiled but Squid won't be there. I will have to go back to the care home soon.
There was a knock at the door but Squid just ignored it, someone else would get it. I heard the front door open, there was some talking and then a shout. I could hear someone running up the stairs and opening doors, in a few seconds they would open our door. I had a thought, what if it was Craig coming to get me. I moved closer to Squid and he wrapped his arms around me. I saw the door open, someone looked in and I let out a sigh of relief. Although I didn't want them to be here it wasn't Craig. It was my social worker, Julie. "Izzy are you ok?" She said running towards me and pulling me out of Squid's arms. "Look we are going and your going to the care home." I nodded sadly. I had known this would happen so I sadly grabbed my rucksack. Squid stood up and came over and hugged me. "Come on Izzy." Julie said. Pulling me away from Squid again. Sqaishey, Stampy and Amy and gathered at the door. Sqaishey was crying, we had become close friends since she saved me from Craig, Stampy had his arm around her. I started to walk to the door, Sqaishey broke away from Stampy and hugged me, she was crying really hard now. I didn't want to go so I started crying too. "Look what you've done. You have made her cry now!" Julie said to Sqaishey angrily. "Don't talk to her like that." Stampy said, standing inbetween me and Sqaishey and Julie. "We all want her to stay longer! Can't she stay for the day?" Stampy said. "You are not fostering or adopting, so no." Julie replied pushing past Stampy.

"What if we were?" A voice said. It wasn't Stampy, Sqaishey or Squid. I looked in the direction of the voice and I saw NICOLE! "David and I would like to adopt Izzy." Julie looked shocked and then turned to me, "Do you want to be adopted by them?" Julie asked me. I looked at Squid, he looked just as shocked as I was, but not in a bad way. I then looked at Nicole who smiled at me. "If you don't want to we won't force you." Squid said. "I'd love to!" I said and I ran to Squid and hugged him. Nicole came up behind us so I turned around and hugged her too. "Izzy you need to go back to the home to collect your stuff and when you are ready they can come and collect you." I nodded and I followed Julie out of the door and to her car.
*Time Skip*
I climbed out the car and sighed. I was scared but I was also happy as I was going to live with Squid and Nicole. I walked into the care home expecting to see Craig's gang immediately but there was no one there. I ran up to my room and then I remember that I shared a room with Flo the chances are that she would be in her room. I slowly opened the door and walked in. Flo was sitting on her bed, "What are you doing here?" She said. She looked really angry. "I'm getting adopted." She looked shocked. "By those people who saved you from Craig?" She asked. "Yeah. Why did you join Craig's gang? He's evil!" I asked her. "Well you left me! You just ran away without me! You left me here alone!" Flo was annoyed because I ran away without her. It was all my fault!
I ran out of the room crying. I ran down the stairs and to the front door where I ran into someone. I looked up to see Craig. He looked angry. I started to back away but he grabbed me and dragged me towards the garden. He pulled me behind a bush. "So, I hear your getting adopted by the idiot YouTubers." He said smirking. "Yeah. How do you know?" I said, trying to sound brave when actually I was terrified. "I hacked into the office computer just now and read your file. Why don't you tell me how your mum became unstable, huh? Or maybe you could tell me more about your idiot father who just walked out one day." He said laughing. I had had enough of his bullying. I lunged at him and amazingly knocked him down. I tried to punch him but I felt someone grab me and pull me off him. I turned my head to see Squid holding me and Stampy and Sqaishey behind him. Sqaishey ran up to me and hugged me. "Hey you!" Craig shouted at Sqaishey. She turned around to face him. "I've seen your videos... They are rubbish. You shouldn't be allowed on YouTube. The only reason why you have subscribers is that you are friends with Stampy." I could tell Sqaishey was really upset. I broke free of Squid's grip and ran at Craig I tried to punch Craig but he was too quick and he punched me in the jaw. I knew he was strong but I hadn't realised how strong. I was clutching my jaw and I saw him come towards me, he was going to punch me. Someone grabbed me and picked me up and hung me over their shoulder, I was about to scream but then I felt their hair brush against me, it was curly and I knew that that was Stampy for sure. Stampy was running know, towards the building, I looked up to see Squid trying to calm Craig down. I yelled for him to stop as I didn't want Squid to get hurt but then we went round the corner and I couldn't see them any more. I saw someone run past us, I was pretty sure it was Eric the new care worker here. He was ok but the main reason Nina had hired him was because he was immensely strong so he could take on Craig.

When we arrived inside Stampy didn't put me back down he just took me straight through to the front door. I saw Sqaishey coming down the stairs with my bag. "Sqaishey packed your bags if your wondering why she has them." I nodded. Then someone else came down the stairs holding my other bag. It was Flo. Stampy put me down as Flo brought the bag over to us. I walked up to her and she slapped me, right where Craig had punched me a few minutes ago. Squid ran in just in time to see her slap me. He looked really angry. I was crying now, my jaw felt like it was going to explode and my best friend still hated me.
Squid walked up behind me and picked me up just as Stamps had done a few minutes ago. He took me to the car and Nina came out to say goodbye but I barely knew her so it was just to be polite really. Julie said goodbye as well and told me to call her if I had a problem. I nodded and climbed into the car. Squid was driving, Stampy was in the front and me and Sqaishey were in the back. When we got out of the driveway I started crying. They all tried to comfort me so when we got back to Squid's house I was feeling much better but I really needed some ice on my jaw.
We walked in and everyone was there clapping and cheering. Sqaishey lead me into the kitchen and gave me a bag of peas to put on my jaw.
Although my jaw was hurting I felt amazing, my favourite YouTuber had adopted me.

A Sinner's Eden
The Earth of the future is united under a single government, but not all things are well. The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die. Motivated by revenge, Magnus sets out on a quest to bring his own justice to his enemies. For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)
8 927Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
