My phone rang loudly, awaking me from my slumber. I slowly sat up, hearing the pouring rain and thunder outside of my bedroom's window.
Grabbing my phone, the call from Teesh ended and all the other missed calls popped up. I had missed calls from Ms. Carol, Teesh and my own mom whom I haven't spoken to since I moved out.
"What the hell?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
Deciding I'd call them back after I showered, I looked at the time. I raised my eyebrows, seeing as how dark it was outside for it to be 8'o clock in the morning.
"Today's going to be a drowsy day." I spoke to myself as I sat my phone down and stretched my body.
A few moments later, I heard loud banging on my front door. I immediately expected Joey since he said he was coming over this morning.
"Why is this man banging on my door like the police?" I turned my lip up, making my way over to it.
"Montana!" I heard Teesh's voice, making me furrow my eyebrows.
"Hey, Teesh." I spoke as I opened the door and she came inside frantic.
Standing there, she caught her breath, breathing my heavily.
"Girl, whats wrong?" I chuckled, she was drenched from the pouring rain.
"Montana, I have something to tell you." She shook her head and I knew it had to be something serious because of the look on her face.
"What's going on?"
"Josiah." She started and I raised my eyebrows.
"Josiah's dead."
"Wh-what?" I spoke, completely in shock and she nodded her head, pulling me in for a hug.
I said nothing as I stood allowing her to hug me.
No way. I thought.
"Girl, no he's not. I just spoke to him last night." I laughed, pushing her off of me.

"Montana." She looked at me seriously and I flagged her.
"Don't come to my damn house spreading lies, Teesh." I rolled my eyes, making my way to my room to grab my phone.
I was calling Joey so he could shut this bitch up.
Walking into my room, my phone was already ringing and it was my mom.
"Hi, mom." I spoke, answering the phone and she was bawling.
"Montana. Baby."
Coming to reality, I began to think that this was real. Why else would she call me crying?
"Mom, what's going on?" I asked in a worried tone now.
"Josiah's gone, baby."
Tucking my lips, I said nothing. I sat there in shock, not even able to move my body.
"Monty." I heard Teesh calling me as she came into my room with tears in her eyes.
Hanging up the phone, I sat it down as I stared into space. I couldn't believe this. I didn't want to believe this. I didn't believe it. At all.
"What happened?" I spoke barely above a whisper.
"He got shot while sitting in his car some time last night. They're saying around 1 in the morning." She managed to tell me and my heart broke into a billion pieces.
He's not gone. He can't be. Was all I kept thinking.
"No." I shook my head.
Walking passed her, I put shoes on and grabbed my umbrella before leaving the house. I was going to his house, there was no way he was gone.

Making it to his block, I saw no one. Usually there's a bunch of guys on the corner but today there was no one there.
Tucking my lips, I made my way to his house and there were so many people there. Seemed as though the entire hood was out in front of his house.

"No. No. No." I said quietly to myself as people began to look at me with sympathetic eyes.
"Monty." I heard someone calling within the crowd but I simply ignored them, making my way into the house.
As soon as I did, I heard Ms. Carol screaming. She was screaming so loud and crying so hard. She was hysterical and that's the moment I realized all of this was real.
Joey was gone.
*
I sat in my room with all of the lights off with my phone on DND. It was pouring down raining still and I hadn't spoken to anyone since the news and I didn't plan on it for a long while. My heart was broken and it ached every second.
"Why?" I spoke quietly, looking down at the floor.
I'd yet to cry because still none of this felt real. I kept hoping that he'd call me or text me and say that this was all a joke. I couldn't bare to be without him or even do this without him.
"Not Joey. Not my baby." I spoke, tears forming in my eyes but I refused to let them fall.
We have a baby on the way. No way my baby's gone. He'd never leave us. I thought, breaking my heart even more.
Hearing hard knocks on the front door, I slightly jumped as I furrowed my eyebrows. I wondered who it could be and I secretly hoped for it to be Joey.
Making my way to the door, I looked out of the peephole and saw Melahki. I sighed deeply, wanting him to go the hell away but reluctantly I opened the door.
"Could you please leave?" I asked, confused on what he wanted anyway.
"Damn. Did I do something?" He furrowed his eyebrows.
I had no interest in talking to him or even caring about his existence right now.
"Get the hell away from my door for before we have a problem." I snapped and he scoffed, looking at me.
"Oh I guess you're mad about the Joey nigga? Heard he died and shit." He laughed, shaking his head while I scolded him.
"I thought you were done with him though?" He asked with an amused face.
Standing there, I waited for him to even think about disrespecting the love of my life because I would have him ended in the matter of seconds.
"You know what though, alright. I'm leaving." He laughed again, turning on his heels.
"Oh yeah and before I go, I just wanted to tell you that the pussy was trash and I killed his bitch ass."
"That's for my brother Mesiyal, bitch." He spat before walking off.
My breath got caught in my throat as I watched him leave.
This man is dead.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
