"who do you have?" niki asks while we walk. she covers her mouth quickly.
"only if you want to tell me though," she adds in quickly. i giggle.
"george," i say. "you?"
"karl."
"okay, i think we got some pretty easy people to shop for." we take a turn into a random store and walk around. tangerine by glass animals plays softly in the background.
"i love this song," i accidentally say out loud. niki smiles.
after a little bit of browsing, i find something and snort.
"what?" niki asks. she looks over at what i picked up for george. "oh god, valerie." she sighs, laughing, and shakes her head.
"i can't wait to see his reaction," i say.
"get something serious, too." she's still smiling, so i know she's not mad. i groan and pick something else up for george. i find niki in the middle of the store, with two cans of karl's favorite monster and a sweater.
"do you think karl will like this?" she shows me the sweater. it's a dark blue baggy knitted sweater. i nod.
"definitely his style. it's cool," i say. niki gives me a thumbs up and we pay for everything. we got our shopping done fairly quickly, so we walk around the mall to window shop and look at random stores. at noon, my phone buzzes. i look at it.
incoming call: tommy
i raise an eyebrow as i answer.
"tommy? is everything okay?" i ask.
"it's time for lunch!" he shouts. "come meet me and tubbo at the food court. bring niki too, obviously."
"i'll ask if she wants to do that-"
"no. you are coming. chop chop, bitch." i laugh.
"fine. i'll go get her. we'll be there soon."

"see you soon." tommy hangs up.
"tommy?" niki asks. i nod.
"he wants us to meet him and toby for lunch," i say.
"sounds good, let's go."
after a few minutes, we find the food court and see tommy and toby anxiously waiting for us. toby jumps around and waves us over. tommy tries to get him to settle down, probably embarrassed. i giggle.
"hello," niki says as we approach them.
"hi guys!" toby says enthusiastically.
"no need to yell, tubbo, they're right there," tommy says, shaking his head.
we get in line for mcdonalds, since that's the only place i've heard of, and make our orders. i haven't eaten here since i was a kid, so i get the chicken nuggets and an m&m mcflurry. we also buy a two large fries for all of us to share.
once our food is ready, we sit down. tommy sits next to me, niki across from me, and toby diagonally. i open my barbeque sauce and ranch and dip my nuggets into both of them.
"what the fuck..." tommy mutters as he watches me do this.
"don't tell me you've never tried ranch and barbeque," i say.
"no, nor do i want to."
"it's really good!" after eating the nugget, i take a fry and dip it into my mcflurry. tommy scrunches his nose.
"i swear, you americans are so weird. or maybe it's just you," he says.
"ice cream and fries are even better than ranch and barbeque," i shoot back.
"weird food combinations pog?" tubbo says.
"EXTREMELY pog." i shoot an annoyed glance at tommy as i say this. he rolls his eyes. as we eat, brooklyn baby by lana del rey plays in the mall.
yeah my boyfriend's pretty cool
without thinking, i glance over at tommy when i hear this lyric.
but he's not as cool as me
tommy catches me staring and looks at me with a raised eyebrow. i smile slightly and silently laugh.
cause i'm a brooklyn baby
"this is deffo flirting," toby whispers to niki. niki tries to hold back her laughter.
i'm a brooklyn baby.

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now.

8 68Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.
