《》When You Give Him A Gift He Does Not Like
Advertisement
It's his birthday or Christmas or Hanukkah or your anniversary or something and you get him a gift that you think he will love.
He hates it.
-Struggles to compose his expression
-Says, "This is exactly what I've always wanted!"
-Aunt Mito raised him well
-Opens the gift and promptly bursts into raucous laughter
-"This is a gag gift, right? Good one! Okay, hand over the real thing"
-You stare at him
-"Oh."
-"Oh how nice that you thought to get me something!"
-"So beautifully wrapped, too, thank you, darling"
-(Opens it)
-(Pauses)
-"You are so sweet to have thought of me!"
-(Opens the gift and stares at it)
-"What is this, exactly, again?"
-You tell him. He nods and says, brightly, "Ohhhhh! Yes!"
-You find it shoved in the back of his closet a year later
-Opens the gift and, like Killua, laughs loudly
-"This totally sucks. What the hell were you thinking?"
-(Laughs again, this time wickedly) "Now you really owe me tonight"
-"A gift for me?"
-He opens it and looks at it
-"Thanks."
-Whatever it is, he will make a genuine effort to use it/wear it/whatever at least once just so you know he's a stellar dude
-Once he's done that, however, he immediately throws it away or has one of the Troupe take it over to the local Goodwill
-Is completely unused to presents or anyone being nice to him so he opens the gift eagerly
-He has no idea why on earth you got THIS for him
-Does not know what to say and draws a complete blank
-Decides not knowing his exact birthday is a good thing after all
-You bought him something awful on purpose because he's so nice you wanted to see if he actually would react
-He doesn't. He says "Oh goodness, now I don't even have to steal this for myself!"

System Change
Years ago, Earth was indoctrinated into the "System." Earth was not the only place with the System, however. With the System came the other races, Invaders. The Invaders had one goal, to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. This created a bloodbath, and for years the war raged. This didn't really have much to do with Derek. Derek was kind of a loner. Yeah, he enjoyed the occasional chat or drink with others, but he never stayed in one place too long or really got to know anybody new. Derek did happen to be rather strong. After the years of fighting monster and Invaders alone, he had become quite adept at surviving. One thing that helped keep him alive was his refusal to get involved with others. He rarely cooperated with teams. One day, Derek broke his rules and decided to lend some help, as the mission didn't seem too hard. He should have stuck to being alone. Hey everyone, this is my fiction, "System Change." It's the first time I've really tried to write a serial. All feedback is really appreciated. I plan to release chapters every Tuesday and Thursday. With occasional extra chapters being released. I will try to maintain a word count between 1500-2500 words per chapter. Thank you! I just made a Discord if anyone wants to join.

The Gods are dead As they bled dry, so did the magic which gave them birth. In the new era of technology, its pathetic remnants must hide in the shadows or be locked away. In the ancient era of magic two beings often stood out: Galileo, an immortal scholar obsessed with knowledge and Angelica, the most loyal servant of the greatest among the now dead Gods. But why are they worthy of mention? Because after millennia of isolation, the two emerge in the new world beyond their reckoning. The entire story is told from the third person, however, each chapter will be told from the perspective of only one of the characters. This will be signified by the first letter of their names after the chapter number to avoid confusion. I submitted this fiction as a [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] as well as a participant in National Novel Writing Month. The original challenge had been to finish this entire faction within the month of November reaching the 55.5k word minimum. This goal had been achieved. I do not own the cover picture
