《Magic》[How to Talk about the conflict]

"Carl!" Tammy yells out. She storms into the room. The house gets completely clouded with her angry puss.
"Carl," she screams louder, "Carl," her voice screeching.
"Yes, yes, what?" Carl enters, running down the stairs in a hurry, almost tripping.
"How dare you!" she spits out at him, turning her attention towards him, coming closer to him in anger.
He looks at her in confusion.
"How dare you," she says louder.
She pushes her finger on his chest, pushing him in anger.
He doesn't seem fazed.
"What, what?" he asks in a relaxed tone, looking her in the eyes, questioning.
Her eyes are brimming with tears, suffocating any vision.
"How dare you?" she asks, this time a whisper, a plead. She's completely lost it.
Crying out as tears begin to flow.
Carl holds her in comfort as she releases her pain.
She shakes her head at him.
Breathing in and out, she looks back at him.
"Why, why?" she breaths out in question, searching in his eyes for an explanation.
He calmly answers.
"Please tell me what it is you're angry about,"
She sighs, "I'm not angry, I'm confused,"
"About what?" he asks, yet again in a calm tone.
"You cheated on me!" she finally screams out and declaring what it is.
She gets out of his embrace.
Standing tall, fully in anger, "How dare you!?" she starts again, pointing at him.
Carl's face drops.
He listens to her follow up screams until she calms down.
"I'm sorry, Tammy," he states, looking her in the eyes.
He shakes his head.
Tears brimming.
"Sarah told me," she says back, tears also brimming in her eyes.
"You must feel awful Tammy, you deserve better,"
She shakes her head.

"Why did you do it?" her voice gets higher but she controls herself from screaming again.
"I was confused," he sighs,"I felt concealed and stuck...when I was...with you," breaking down his voice, he hears her breathing slowing down.
"I felt controlled being with you. I know, I should've told you how I felt instead of hurting you...what should we do now?" he looks her in the eyes.
She stands tall, her arms crossed.
Her face is trembling slightly, turning her head to the side, trying to hide her tears.
She sighs.
Looking back at him.
"I'm sorry you felt that way with me, I- I... You deserve better," she finally says, and then looks away once more.
"No." Carl walks closer to her, "We are just not right for each other, you deserve better too," he states, looking her in the eyes. His eyes sending her to calmness.
And she breaks. Crying, she nods.
"Yes, you're right, I love you, Carl." he smiles weakly and they hug.

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.

Tales of the Legendary Scholar
They meet in the most unlikely moment and turned their life around. Freidrech newly arrived in his own nation's capital city, which is so foreign to him compared to his village's idyllic and nondiscriminatory atmosphere, after he is forced to come. Now, he is facing a royal prince and tells him to bow. This draws out one of his late father's teachings from the deepest recesses in his mind. "The blood of your great ancestors runs in your veins. Don't easily bow down to anyone, or accept suppression by any being, not even from a monarch, unless you pledge your allegiance to him. Also, giving in to oppression is directly telling the oppressor that you're easy prey and open for manipulation." He is uncertain on how to face this oppression right now. Will he bows or not? What will he do to uphold his father's words while keeping his life safe? As for the prince, Theodrech has nothing to do with Freidrech, so he wishes to let this slip, but the boy opens his mouth and proposes the most ludicrous challenge he ever heard and triggers his curiosity. "I, Freidrech Goederf Gerboud, son of the late Village Chief Louvel Gerboud of Wrilon, will challenge you, Your Highness, to a battle of riddles… If you win, I will not only bow but be your servant for the rest of my life." This amuses the prince. It is the first he met a boy of the same age who is not intimidated by the air of authority he projects. Rather, this boy challenges him. "Why are you so headstrong? In fact, bowing to me is an honor. You saw the King's noble Knights. When they saw me, they bowed," says Theodrech, testing Freidrech. "Allow me to be forward, Your Highness. For me, bowing to a monarch does not guarantee loyalty. If I were you, I rather have men who stand straight in my presence but who got my back, than bowing men who are dreaming of my death," replies Freidrech. The prince’s curiosity increases. A huge smile is seen on his face. Prince Theodrech decides to take Freidrech under his wing. Little did they know, this boy who Prince Theodrech takes in as his confidant and friend in the most ridiculous fashion is someone indispensable in his life and the one who can help him succeed the throne when he almost believes he has lost. Thus, the Tales of the Legendary Scholar begins. ------ o ------ Old Synopsis: A famous ancient adage stated, behind a successful man is a woman BUT… In these lands, the monarchs are seeking not a woman to stand behind them but the man hailed as the Legendary Scholar.

Stray Sheep
My take on the "another world" genre. This is also my first fiction, so expect mistakes... Updates every sunday (at least. I might update more than one time a week if I feel like it). Every update will have around 2.000 words (at least for now).
