《love or host - tommyinnit》chapter 18- one of the boys
Advertisement
the next morning, i wake up with a smile on my face as i rush to my computer to open discord. it's 9:30 AM, so i'm not surprised to see a lot of them on, especially everyone in the uk. i join vc2 with tommy, tubbo, and quackity.
"val?" tubbo asks when i join. "hi! i'm streaming."
"oh, hi stream!" i say. "i just have something i wanted to tell you guys, it can wait though."
"no it's okay, i'll mute my stream." i hear a "click" and tubbo turns his attention back to me, informing me the stream can't hear.
"are you okay?" tommy asks.
"more than okay!" i say gleefully. "i'm going to the uk!"
"AYEEEE!" quackity shouts. "that's awesome!"
"i just need to know a few things first. when is the flight, and how long are we staying?"
"flight is february 12," tommy says. "i have no idea how long we're staying. and we're going to brighton. wilbur rented an airbnb." i clap my hands enthusiastically.
"oh my god this will be so fun!" i squeal. tubbo laughs.
"you sound like a girl," tubbo says, still laughing.
"wow, do i really?"
"tubbo's surprised because you're ONE OF THE BOYS!" quackity shouts in his obnoxious, dramatic accent.
"ONE OF THE BOYS!" tommy and tubbo exclaim in sync. i laugh.
"i appreciate that so much," i say, wiping fake tears from my eyes.
"okay, but actually? i have no idea how long we're staying. probably a couple of weeks? dream hasn't bought plane tickets for everyone to go home yet, but he can probably buy them while we're in brighton," tommy says. i nod, biting my nails.
"cool..." i say quietly. "i'm so excited." a wide grin spreads on my face.

"same," tubbo says. "just don't put it on social media. it's going to be a surprise for the fans."
"ooh, that's fun."
"alright, i recommend telling dream and wilbur you can go so you get a plane ticket and a ride to the airbnb from the airport. i'm going to unmute my stream, but if you have any questions you can dm any of us."
"sounds good, i'm going to go tell dream right now. bye guys!"
"bye, valerie!" all three of them say in unison. i laugh as i leave the call and go to my direct messages with dream.
valerie: hi dream! i talked to my parents last night and i'm going to go to the uk! :)
Dream: NO WAY! pog! okay, i'm buying your plane ticket right now
valerie: ty ty
Dream: oh ummm... everyone's flights are full, so you'll arrive slightly later than everyone else. are you cool with that?
valerie: as long as i get there at some point LMAO
Dream: perfect, here's your ticket! -insert photo of ticket lol-
valerie: thank you so so much

over the week between buying the ticket and the trip, i get to know everyone a lot better. i figure, if i'm going to be staying with these people for weeks, i better get to know all of them so it's not awkward.
i love talking to them. i used to think that people online were insanely fake and egotistical off camera, but the streamers proved me wrong. i adore all of them and their fans.
speaking of fans, i realize i hadn't posted on twitter in a while.

the day of my flight finally arrives. i anxiously jump out of bed at 7:44 in the morning, which never happens. i look at my perfectly packed carry-ons and triple check to make sure i have everything. my flight is at 10, so i will get there around midnight my time, which is 8 in brighton. i cringe thinking about the jet lag. i have to leave for the airport in about an hour, so i quickly eat breakfast and put on an outfit.
i head to the airport, bouncing my leg as i wait for my flight. once it's finally called, i jump up quickly and get on the plane. i quickly text my mom and then we take off.
the plane ride is boring. i'm stuck in a cramped seat for thirteen hours, but i continuously tell myself it will be worth it once i get to brighton. i put in my airpods to drown out all the babies crying and mothers frantically trying to get them to be quiet, and eventually doze off into an uncomfortable sleep.

Arduous New World
Alright, so I'm using this as a whetstone to practice my fiction writing. I have dyslexia, so bear with me if I have any mistakes, if you point them out I'll try and correct them. The story is LitRPG, I'll try and avoid some of the tropes, see FAQ. What happens is that the world turns out to be a simulation coming to an end, and beginning on its new simulation, in this process the system of the universe declares that the new simulation will be rpg-based. The protagonist however is thrust into an empty space before the simulation comes to an end, he escapes and finds that the world as he knew it is gone.Chapters will come sporadically as I'm quite busy IRL. FAQ1: There will be no Harem. 2: If any sexual content, it will be be below the screen, example sentence [they made love - or - they had sex]3: I'll try to keep character motivations steady instead of having characters who says and does one thing in one chapter, only to change their mind in the next one. 3: Villains or "bad guys" won't be charicatures. Of course, as in real life, you can meet these people, but as far as big bads or antagonists goes, they will have some modicum of intelligence. 4: The MC does not have an encyclopedia of random knowledge. 5: OP'ness won't happen overnight, and it is something that I'm wary of in terms of adding it, of course eventually the MC will grow more powerful, but there won't be any cheats, except hard work; and the luck factor will be more or less similar to the rest of the population. 6: He won't be opposing the universe, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant7: he won't become friends with god/the ghost in the shell etc, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant, and an ancient simulation ai has no interest anyway, why would it ? Okay that's that for now.

Rekindle
My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.

Guild Wars
Lilith, a snarky, hyperactive fourteen-year-old just wants to join a guild, go on adventures and do fun things. But first, she has to pass the annual Adventurer’s exams requiring her to compete against other examinees and examiners in a myriad of games ranging from freeze tags, arm wrestling, battle royales and... Poker? What the heck is poker? Together with a rude fox boy she meets along the way, she’ll need to strategize, brute force and cheat her way through the precarious exams where little seems to be against the rules. Join her on her journey of uncovering the darker secrets within the guilds, explore the various themed territories, and... Kill the guild leader of the number one guild in the world! Wait. Why the heck would she do that? Because a woman inside her head told her to. Who is this woman anyways? She seems like a massiveeee prick. Onward! .:.:.: [A/n: Do note, this is not a LitRPG but the setting just features a game-like world. This novel adopts heavily on some of my favourite anime tropes like Hunter x Hunter, Fairy tail and Naruto that have inspired me to start on this project! :D]
