________________
After the little talk with Renee I rush to get home so I can call her. Yeah, y'all can call me whipped but I'm trying my best to get her back in the best way. I know her guard is up, but even higher than usual. I need to get her to understand that I won't hurt her again. I pull into the garage of my 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house. I put my keys in the bowl and jog up the stairs. I get undressed and turn on the water. While that's getting hot, I get my night clothes out.
Once I'm done with that, I check to see if the water is hot enough. It is, so I get in the shower and shortly take my time. After 15 minutes, I lay down in the bed with my phone in hand. I find Renee's name and FaceTime her. It rings about 4 times before it connects and I see Renee's beautiful smile. I smile before I speak.
"Hey."
"Hi Jordan" She says with a big smile.
"I see you made it home." She says checking her Apple Watch for the time.
"Nah, I took my time trust me." She raises her eyebrows at this comment.
"You sure?"
"Yes Powers." I playfully roll my eyes.
"Okay Poole." She mocks me.
"Keep playing Renee and see what'll happens."
"You won't." She challenged.
"I bet you 100 that I will."
"I bet you 100 that you won't."

"You pushing it. So when we see each other Thursday we gone' shake hands right?"
"Yes we are Jordan." I stare at the camera.
"Who you looking at like that?"
"Casper. You duh."
"So we getting bold now?"
"Yes. Why you asking so many questions?"
"Cause' I can Powers."
"Cause' I can Powers." I mumble under my breath.
"You forgot you had your AirPods in?" He asks with his eyebrows raised.
"No." I lie.
"Okay liar." I give him a 'You serious right now' look.
"Okay Jordan."
"Jordan I gotta go my take-out here."
"Hell no. Stay on the phone"
"Boy, you want me smacking in yo ear?"
"Well no-." I interrupt.
"Okay then. Goodnight Poole."
"Goodnight Powers."
"Wait Jordan. You said you wanted to stay on the phone?"
"Yes. Can't you go on mute? Just let me go to sleep peacefully."
"I was thinking that. Okay." I agree. He smiles huge even though I know he's sleepy.
I go to the front door and Apple Pay the order and tip $30. The delivery guy was really nice and gave me extra duck sauce even though I didn't need any. Some people are just nice and thoughtful. *cough cough* You know who I'm talking bout'. I wash my hands, bless my food, and dig in. I ordered shrimp fried rice and sushi. I know hot and cold, but I'm craving it so Ima eat it. I got the California roll. Sushi is so good. Definitely one of my top 10 foods. If you don't like sushi, then I don't know what to tell you man. Yeah, I finished eating after 15 minutes and get in the bed. I text Jordan goodnight before turning off my lamp. I look at Jordan one last time before I go to sleep.

Victor of Tucson [A LitRPG/Progression Fantasy]
Victor was an average eighteen-year-old kid from Tucson, Arizona, trying to figure out his life after high school and focus on getting his act together. One hot summer day, he stepped into his grandma's house and disappeared, snatched out of his life by some unsavory fellows from another world. Things don't get better from there, unfortunately, as the gents who summoned him deem him worthless and offload him to a member of low society who happens to run a pit fighting business. Victor's time in this new world might be short, indeed. Release Schedule: 4k+ word chapters every Sunday and Thursday. Starting in July, I'll have more time, and I will increase post frequency. If you get caught up on this story, you might like my other ongoing novel, Falling with Folded Wings. It's over a thousand pages on RR, with lots more to come. Important Patreon Note: My Patreon has advance copies (30+) of my other fiction. So far, I only have 10 advance copies of Victor on there. This may change in the summer, but for now, please bear it in mind when supporting me through Patreon. Thank you! Cover Art by: Carlos Monteiro Part 2 Art by: PanGalactic

A fine octet of legs
When you go to sleep, you expect to wake up with the same number of legs as you went to bed with. This is not generally seen as a big deal. In fact, many people take this for granted.Apparently, however, this was a luxury that Rita was not going to have access to anymore. Somehow equipped with four times the number of legs she’s used to, she is going to need to learn to learn to walk pretty damned quick if she wants to survive in the post-apocalyptic hellscape outside her apartment that she was almost certain wasn't there yesterday. Right, and stay sane. Which, judging from how pushy her inner voice was becoming, might just be the biggest challenge of all…

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.

Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
