A friend story.
Chapter 1 : Day and Night
It was a cold night. The wind brushed past Johnny's cheeks as he strolled down the icy sidewalk. No one was around, after all it was 3:00 in the morning. He would often walk up and down the street at night. It gave him time to clear his head.
''All day and night'' Johnny sang to himself. It was one of the songs he had written himself. He loved to write songs in his bedroom when no one was around and he could just have some quiet for once. Johnny looked at his phone.
''Its nearly half past, better be getting back home'' he whispered. He started to head back when he suddenly heard a voice. Someone was singing. Underneath a tree. Then the girl looked at Johnny. All of a sudden he started to run as he didn't want anyone to know he was out here.
BANG.
Johnny tripped on a stick and went flying until he hit tree. But not just any tree. The tree that the stranger girl was sitting underneath.
''Oh my god, are you okay?'' the girl asked Johnny.
''I think so'' Johnny answered. The girl helped Johnny up.
''Mackenzie Ziegler, but you can call me Kenzie.''
''Johnny, Johnny Orlando.''
They shook hands. Johnny picked up his phone(which was now cracked) and started to head back home, limping.
''I'll walk you home,'' Kenzie said.
''No honestly I-''
''No, I want to walk you home.''
''Ok.''
Kenzie dashed to Johnny. They started heading back.
''So why were you out so late?'' Kenzie questioned.
''Oh, well you can't tell anyone but I come out here every night'' Johnny said.
''Do your parents know?''
''No.''
''Oh'' Kenzie laughed.
''I heard you singing, you sounded amazing'' Johnny exclaimed.

'' Well thank you, I heard you singing too, you were great'' Kenzie said.
''What song were you singing?'' she asked.
'' Oh I wrote it myself, its called day and night but I don't think its that good-''
''I loved it!'' Kenzie shouted, interrupting Johnny.
They approached Johnny's house.
''So see you tomorrow, 2:30 sound good too you?'' Kenzie said.
''Oh, I guess'' Johnny said. Johnny unlocked the front door and tiptoed up to his bedroom. His sister, Lauren, was still doing homework so he had to scuttle up the stairs before she could see anything. He jumped onto his bed. He could not believe what had just happened. One moment he was just strolling down the sidewalk, the next he was flying head first into a tree. Plus he just made friends with someone almost instantly. His only friend. He got into to bed.
''2:30, alright then'' he said to himself. He went too sleep.

8 186Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
