《Accidentally Adopted by iBallisticSquid》Consequences

Izzy's PoV:
"Hi Mum." I said. She just looked at me not saying anything.
"Mum it's me. Your daughter." I said again, walking towards her.
"Get away from me you freak! I don't have a daughter!" She yelled.
"But.. But Mum..." I whispered. I started to feel dizzy, I could hear people talking around me but there voices were just white noise. I felt someone grab my shoulder and lead me out of the room. They took me downstairs and out through the waiting room. I could see people looking at me worriedly. We went out into the car park, I breathed in the fresh air and my head started to clear. I looked up at the person who had got me out, it was Julie.
"What the hell do you think you are doing!!" She shouted. I didn't know what to say so I started to cry. She looked at me with a sad expression on her face.
"Come on, let's get you back." She said calmly. I nodded and followed her to her car.
We had left the hospital car park and I started to wonder how she knew where I was.
"How did you know that I was there?" I asked her. I saw her look in her rear view mirror at me.
"We had a call from the hospital, they said that they were concerned that we didn't know that you were there." She told me. I nodded. I guess I should've thought that something like that would happen.
I started to drift off to sleep wondering what Squid was going to say when we got back.
Unfortunately, although I didn't know it then, I wouldn't find that out.
When I woke up I could feel that I was being carried in someone's arms, I assumed it was Squid so I kept my eyes closed. But then I heard someone's voice that I wouldn't expect to hear at Squid's house. Mitch's. I kept my eyes closed not knowing what to do, then I heard Flo.

"Izzy!" She sounded surprised but happy.
"Hey! Shut up you! You annoying little idiot!" Mitch said to her. That was it, no one talks to my friend like that, even when they where an idiot. People make mistakes and I was ready to forgive her now.
"Don't say that to her!" I said opening my eyes and jumping out of the persons arms. Mitch looked shocked but Flo flung her arms around me.
"I'm so sorry about what I did and then what happened with your dad!" She said to me.
"Look, it's okay. But why am I here?" I said looking round. I was back at my first care home. I hadn't been here in ages.
"What the heck! Why am I here?! Where's Squid!?!" I cried. I turned round to look at the person who had been carrying me, it was Adam, the head care worker.
"Come with me and I'll explain everything." He said calmly. I could see sadness and worry in his eyes. I suddenly got really worried, what if Squid had been hurt?!
I followed Adam into the meeting room. This is where families and care kids talk get to know each other and where anything important or private happens.
I sat down opposite Adam.
"When you ran away David Spencer did not get in touch with us to tell us that you were missing. This raised questions about why he didn't want to tell us." He started to explain.
"Clearly it's because he didn't have time, he was looking for me!" I exclaimed.
"We realise this now as we have tracked a phone call that happened between you and Nicole and what you said would suggest that you like them." He continued.
"I do! They are amazing and they really care about me!" I said.

"Well even with this considered we have decided that it would be best if you don't see them again. You will be staying here now." Adam finished.
"But why?! Sq.. David is the best!!" I cried.
"He clearly can't take care of you. You ran away! Even if it wasn't his fault, your actions have consequences!" Adam was starting to get cross.
I swore at him before storming out of the room.
When I left the room Mitch was standing there.
"Mitch not now!" I said thinking he was going to mock me.
"I heard about what happened. And I'm genuinely sorry!" He said giving me a weak smile. I just nodded i couldn't smile back. Not after what had just happened.
I went up to my room and sat on my bed. I started to cry. Why does everything good that happens to me end up going wrong?
Flo came in.
"It's not the end of the world. Another family will come along!" Flo said trying to cheer me up.
"First Squid was a one off, no one else will want me.
Second even if they did then I would say no. I don't want to go through this pain again." I said sadly.
"At least you can still watch his vlogs though." Flo added. I nodded.
Suddenly an idea formed in my head, I pulled out my phone and quickly searched something.
"Yes!!" I said happily.
"What?" Flo said confused.
"Mitch is 17, right?" I said.
"Yeah... What's that got to do with this?" She questioned.
"Well Insomnia is happening soon, and it says that people under 16 have to be accompanied by an adult. Mitch is 17, which means he counts as an adult." I explained.
"Your not seriously suggesting...?" Flo looked worried. I nodded.
Eventually I had managed to persuade Mitch to take me. Him, Flo and I pooled our money together and we managed to but two tickets to Insomnia.
I was going to find Squid there!

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

Constructive critism is welcome! However please do not just bash my story as I do put a lot of effort into it. I want to make an enjoyable story for myself as well as all of you.
