《Quem Ri Por Último Ri Melhor》CAPÍTULO VINTE E SETE

-Vamos, Matt, não seja teimoso! – Lauren disse, me arrastando para dentro de uma barbearia no shopping.
Nós tínhamos acabado de sair de uma ótica e eu estava usando lentes de contato. Por incrível que pareça, eu gostei. Incomodava um pouco no começo, mas era bem melhor do que ter que ficar empurrando os óculos toda hora, ou ter que limpar as lentes dele por estarem embaçadas ou sujas. As lentes de contato definitivamente ficariam comigo pro resto da vida.
Quando entrei na barbearia, vi que não era um lugar comum. Era um estabelecimento muito bem estruturado, as pessoas estavam uniformizadas e eu me senti à vontade apenas por estar ali. De repente, saiu de trás de um balcão um homem alto, não muito forte, com cabelos e bigode totalmente brancos. Dava para ver que ele era muito novo para ter cabelos brancos, então deduzi que era platinado. O bigode dele dava voltinhas dos lados, e seus olhos eram quase tão azuis quanto os de Lauren. Ao ver Lauren, ele sorriu e deu um abraço nela, seguido de um beijo no canto da boca, quase um selinho. Não posso negar que eu fiquei com muitos ciúmes ao ver a cena, mas tentei não transparecer.
-Matt, esse aqui é o Evan. Ele é meu primo de segundo grau, somos muito amigos desde crianças. Ele é quem vai cortar o seu cabelo – Lauren me apresentou.
Estendi a mão para ele que apertou bem forte e deu um sorriso amigável.
-Então você é o famoso Matt – ele disse. – Lauren não para de falar em você.
Lauren corou um pouco e eu apenas sorri.
-Então – Evan disse. – Como vai querer seu corte hoje?
Me sentei numa cadeira alta e me olhei no espelho. Sinceramente, eu precisava mesmo de um corte. Porém, não sabia qual escolher, então apenas disse:

-Ah, não sei. Pode fazer o que você achar que ficaria melhor. Acho que Lauren também tem umas ideias.
Lauren sorriu ao ver que me lembrei dela. Evan assentiu e virou para Lauren, e os dois começaram a discutir baixinho sobre que corte fazer.
-Assim vai ficar excelente – Evan disse em voz alta.
-Eu te disse que eu daria uma ótima cabeleireira – Lauren ironizou.
Evan riu e em seguida virou minha cadeira, me deixando de costas para o espelho.
-Espera, eu não vou ver o que você vai fazer? – Perguntei.
-Só no final, irmão – Evan sorriu e me deixou bem preocupado.
Resolvi fechar os olhos e apenas esperar pelo pior.

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.

The Weaver's Wrath
Millennia have passed since the end of the God Wars. Mankind's heroes of these wars, the powerful Luminescents, have since become the rulers of the lands, relying on their ancestors' deeds to fuel their own ambitions. The Church itself has fractured since the death of their Goddess. Now it has shifted its focus to a new power - the descendents of the men and women who had received her blessing in the past - the Luminescents. However, with the death of the Goddess Selene, their own abilities began to lessen in quality with each successive generation, leaving them grasping desperately at whatever they can; money, lands, power. Sevrath was born in a time far different than that of ages past. Much of the continent was under the rule of the powerful Luminescent rulers. The Gods were dead and gone; the age of man had begun. Only the Desolate Lands lay unconquered and resolute, a relic of the power of Deimos, the God of Death and Destruction. So when he is found near the borders of the Desolate Lands, what does it mean? Is he some spawn of demon, like many of the townsfolk of Carthal believe, or something else altogether? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will not necessarily be something that is updated often.
