《Infinity || Dan Smith》Fifty-Seven.

"My god, have you gotten prettier or what?!" Sebastian comically gasps as soon as he enters the make-up department.
Charlie, who more or less forced Aubrey to continue filming, then nods her head. Although, she knows that she looks very ill. But at least the chemotherapy is starting to work. She's only been out of a week, but she's certainly not going to spend her days lazing around. She wants to keep herself occupied and happy, something of which makes Charlie feel.
She still adores Lily Marrow.
"Can you believe that they want us to 'liven' you up? I mean the bitches! They don't know what beauty is, even if it punched them in the face!" Charlie then snorts with laughter while she cradles Lacey who's in her arms.
"I can't believe how big she's getting. How many months old is she again!"
"She's nearly three months." Charlie proudly says while she lovingly gazes into her daughters massive blue eyes.
"She looks so much like you, it's crazy." That's when Charlie smiles nodding her head.
"If only I had her eyes..."
Sebastian smiles at Charlie in the mirror before holding her shoulder. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He admires Charlie's thinning hair while she nods her head with a gulp. She's worried that Dan won't find her pretty anymore, his always playing around with her hair. She's worried Lacey won't recognise her anymore too.
"Look at it." She whispers calling to her hair where there's several patches missing.
"It's an eyesore, isn't it darling?" The only reason why Charlie got Sebastian in to cut her hair is because he tells the truth.
"Oh my god." Charlie whispers before nodding her head.
"When it grows back I think you shouldn't dye it blonde. Go natural. Embrace the brunette." Charlie shrugs before looking down at Lacey.

"Our hair will match then!" She squeals before raising her up slightly.
"Exactly!" Sebastian laughs before Charlie smiles.
"It'll grow back...it'll grow back. It's just hair..." Charlie is sad, but she knows that she can't go out in public anymore with clumps missing.
Tell me when you're ready, okay? There's no rush. The wig is all sorted out." Charlie then nods her head with a smile.
"So long...hair." Sebastian turns the shaver on while Charlie braces herself for a balder lifestyle, but of course Dan comes into the make-up department right at the last minute to watch Charlie's reaction as the first bit of hair falls to the floor.
Charlie doesn't cry, instead she laughs. "I'm like 2007 Britney!" She shouts over the loud buzzing while Sebastian leans over in hysterics.
Charlie then notices Dan in the mirror and waves at him, Dan winks back while he sits down on the sofa besides him and watches Charlie's comical reaction after Sebastian shaves more off. Dan then gets his phone out and starts recording, since he thinks that Charlie is comedic gold.
"I look like the tip of a used condom!" Sebastian and Dan both burst into hysterics. Luckily for both of them Dan is secretly recording.
"What about now?" Sebastian clips another strip of her hair off.
"I dunno." Charlie throws back her shoulders with a smile while she tries her hardest to think of something funny.
"No, wait I know!" Charlie then shouts out.
"Danny DeVito!"
Dan shakes his head while Charlie vigorously nods hers. But then comes the final moment of the last few strands...it gets to that point where nobody wants to joke. But Dan keeps continuing to film. Maybe someday he'll put this video out to the world, that even the rich and famous get ill? Maybe he won't?

"Should I..." Sebastian whispers while holding the clippers away from her head.
"I'm so stupid." Charlie then weakly bursts out crying while Dan immediately stands up and walks across the room.
"No Charlotte, you're not stupid." Sebastian starts to tear up while he dramatically fan's his face.
"Babe..." Dan whispers while Charlie closes both of her eyes.
After settling his camera down, but sneakily facing them, Dan then gets down on one knee in front of her while Sebastian immediately gasps in awe. Dan wants to prove his love for Charlie. These past couple of months have been hard...but it's proof that they're totally inseparable.
When Charlie opens her eyes she sees Dan on one knee. "What the fuck are you doing now?" Charlie says wiping her tears out of her eyes.
"I have known you...for nearly a year. Within that year you have brought me so much happiness. It sound fucking stupid...I know" — both Dan and Charlie laugh, but she doesn't realise what's happening — "and you never expected anything thing in return. You gave me...a purpose not to give up." Charlie then pieces together what Dan is doing and manages to go from cradling Lacey to holding her with one hand, while the other holds her mouth.
Both of them get into a teary mess, but neither of them care. Sebastian gets his phone out and starts recording, as well as Dan recording.
"And now it's your turn to be happy. And I've realised that time...it's not on our side." Charlie shakes her head while Dan looks upwards for a second, trying to hold down his 'guy' tears.
"I know this isn't the time to propose and I'm sorry. I just...can't help it. You're my everything and without you I'm...nothing." Charlie then nods her head before Dan even has to ask.
"Please marry me." He pleads under his breath.
Charlie stops nodding her head and cracks a smile. "I've been waiting for you to ask since this one came about." Both Dan and Charlie lean over each other with a smile, whilst he then bows his head forwards and kisses Lacey's forehead.
"Sorry." Dan mumbles before she then kisses him on the lips, but it isn't a snog. It's a risk they're both willing to take.
"Is that a yes or no bitch?!" Sebastian says while Dan and Charlie both nod their heads, Dan knew Charlie's answer before he even asked.
"I'm a ring boy!" He shouts at the top of his voice while Dan and Charlie laugh at his excitement.
"We're getting married!" Charlie, with her free hand, then ecstatically bangs her hand against Dan's shoulder. She's living on cloud nine right now...for the first time in a very long time.
"I'm gonna be a wife!" Dan nods his head with a smile imprinted on his soft pink lips. He isn't sure what goes into being a husband, but if it's anything like his parents loving relationship...he wants in.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.

The Sea Tower
Sea witches were monsters of legends, capable of routing armadas and wreaking havoc across entire realms by controlling the weather.

The avarice of a mad king leads to the folly of a kingdom. Only a single turret survived the catastrophe, a single tower which protrudes outwardly from a boundless ocean, rumored to house the very creature which wreaked havoc and devastation. Sailors are warned to give the relic a wide berth, for few who have seen the tower ever return to speak the tale, and none who have approached it ever have. Do not approach the tower, they said…
