Advertisement
"Oh! All I asked was if you wanted to check out the boba place with me" Mysta says causing you to light up and hug him. "Are you sure?? You aren't too broke this time??" You say jokingly "Anyways, what did you want to say Vox?" "I just asked if you'd like to join Ike and I for dinner at *insert restaurant name* tonight"
"That sounds good, I'd love to join you Vox! As for Mysta, we'll go out another time!" You say causing Vox to feel like he's been blessed. Mysta on the other hand felt upset, but he couldn't complain, you did say you'd go with him some other time. "Oh, that's fine, see you next time then!" Mysta says while running off as you and Vox bid him farewell. You then turned to face Vox "So, we're going with Ike, yeah?" You say as Vox nods "Yeah, we'll be with Ike, you wanna start heading there now?" Vox says while looking at you. "Sure, let me just tell Millie first-" You say as you start texting Millie "Take your time, we're in no rush" Vox reassures you.
You visibly blush at Millies response casuing Vox to be concerned "Are you okay?" "Oh- Uh yeah I'm fine, let's go now" You say, trying to change the subject. "Alright then, we should get Ike first though" Vox says "Oh right- well lead the way!" You say as you and Vox make your way to Ike's place.
As you and Vox walk to Ike's place, it gets a bit chilly, causing you to shiver a bit. "Are you cold? You can have my jacket if you'd like" Vox says with a mild blush on his face..? "Yeah a bit- I'll be fine though" You say before sneezing like a dad "Jeez- Bless you, that sounded like a dad-" "Oh.. nevermind then I won't be fine" You say causing Vox to laugh a bit. "Here, just take my jacket for now, all that matters is that you'll be warm. Don't want you catching a cold, now do we?" Vox says as he wraps his jacket around you causing you to blush in embarrassment "Thanks Vox.." "God how can you be so cute.." Vox accidentally whispers to himself, just loud enough for you to hear. This caused you to have a slight internal crisis "omg bro Millie what did you do I thought I didn't pull-" you think to yourself. "What did you say Vox?" You say causing Vox to be confused "I said something?"

"Nevermind, it's nothing serious" You say as you unknowingly reach for Vox's hand. This causes Vox to look down at your hands and blush, not knowing whether or not to take your hand. You end up grabbing his hand and holding it, making him blush more. "Hey Vox?" "Hm? What's up?" "How are you so tall?" You say while looking at him. "I just am, I don't know." He says as he holds your hand tighter, you'd think it's just him being weird, but it was really him trying to keep you safe from someone who's been following you this whole time. Who was following you? It was.. Shoto.. As you both reach Ike's house, you wait outside with Vox. Ike comes out after a bit "Hey guys! sorry for taking so long, let's get going, shall we?" he says as he locks the door. "Mhm, let's go!" you say enthusiastically causing Ike to headpat you "Still as short as ever~" he says. "Hey! I'm not that short!!" you scold him. Vox then goes over to Ike and whispers something, you couldn't hear it though. "He's following us.." Vox says to Ike "Shoto?" "Yeah.."
As you all follow the waitress to your assigned table, you notice Vox is still holding your hand. "Um.. Vox? You're still holding my hand-" You say causing both him and Ike to look at your hands "Oh- Sorry, I guess I didn't realize that-" Vox says as he lets go of your hand. You then sit at the table, you being in between Vox and Ike. When the waitress comes back for your orders, Vox notices that she's been looking at you a bit too much, this of course caused him to pull you closer to him trying to hint at the waitress to simply "fuck off" This confused you, but you decided to hug him because he's your friend.

After a short bit you excuse yourself to go to the washroom. While you were gone Ike asks Vox what the sudden intimacy was for, Vox responsing with "The waitress was looking at Y/N weirdly, I guess it was my instinct-" "Oh- Well you two look cute as a couple~" Ike whispers to Vox, causing Vox to blush and look away. "You really do like them! I knew it!" Ike exclaims as he teases Vox about it some more. "Shut up Ike- It's not like they like anyone anyways.." Vox sulks..
When you came back, you noticed that Vox wasn't there and only Ike was there. "Where did Vox go?" You ask "He went to the bathroom, he'll be back in a bit, why don't you finish your food for now?" Ike says as you sit beside him. Continuing to eat your food, you get a bit sleepy, I mean who wouldn't be when you eat alot? Ike notices this "If you're tired, you can rest for a bit until we're ready to go, here.. use my lap as a pillow for now" Ike says causing you to look at him questionably before going to fall asleep on Ike's lap. When Vox gets back he notices you on Ike's lap "So, why don't we pay and carry them back to the car?" Vox says with a laugh "I guess we should do that then, you can both stay at my place tonight" Ike says.
Timeskip to Ike's house
"They must've been really tired" Ike says as he places you on the couch "I guess so, they really need more sleep" Vox says as he notices your eyebags. "I'll stay here with them for the night in case anything happens" Vox says "Of course you simp-" Ike says causing Vox to whisper yell "IKE SHUT UP-" They both stop bantering when you wake up temporarily, only to move yourself onto Vox's lap causing him to blush like a tomato. "I'll just leave now-" Ike says as he takes his leave, leaving you two in the room together.

The Arduous Path
Life has never been kind to Alex, but today, today was just one of those days where life sought you out, bent you over, and had her way with you until nothing but a jumbled mess remained. Today was one of those days. Just as the small housewarming party for one of Alex's friends was taking place in the dead of night, the starry sky opened its cosmic jaws and thrust upon the world its wonders and terrors. Frantically trying to make heads or tails of the situation while not dying is going to prove itself much more of a challenge than Alex ever expected to encounter in his miserable but safe life. Still, behind all the adrenaline and danger of this fateful event, Alex feels there may be more awaiting him than simply a grim future, and he will not let this opportunity escape his grasp. P.S - I'm aiming at making this a pure cultivation story, so no blue boxes, I'm sorry. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

In the world of cultivation there was once a person who reached the apex of existence, omnipotent and omniscient. If there was a person that truly deserved the title of God, it was him. But once reaching the apex, he got lonely and bored, and because there was nobody equal to him, nobody could kill him. So he killed himself and chose to be reincarnated millions of years after his death. He suddenly woke up inside a cave in a young body, and this is where his new journey towards heavenly domination begins once again. Follow Tianshen as he tries to rediscover his own humanity, morals and his struggle between right and wrong. A sincere thank you to everyone that gives this story a chance.

This is a work in progress. Writing for this novel is currently performed during brief snatches of free time, mistakes are inevitable. I am more than happy to take advantage of free editing, so please, editorialize away; I'll take it all on board.

Updates at least once a week, most likely on Tuesdays and/or Fridays.
8 181Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash

But how was she supposed to stay away from the only person that made her feel safe? Some would call it manipulation, others would call it mind-control or witchcraft, but the devil works in mysterious ways and he's inside everyone.
