Scott’s P.O.V
I honestly thought that Oakley was just going on a long holiday or something. That’s why all her stuff was packed in the back of the car. I just don't understand why she had to leave so suddenly.
It was just all so sudden; I didn’t get a chance to stop her or even say anything.
She was crying, and was hoping that I wouldn’t notice it. Maybe she thought that if I didn't realize she was crying that it would be easier to say goodbye. I just don’t get why she left it to the very last minute. Why she couldn’t tell me a couple of weeks ago. Or better yet, when she originally found out.
I could have had a long talk to the Jim and expressed my mind. Tell him to watch himself.
I couldn’t believe out of every family she had to get adopted by them. There were millions of families out there that are willing to adopt and it had to be them.
Slowly, I made my way back to Oakley house, and saw the car was long gone. The tire marks still clear on the dirty driveway.
Oakley was gone.
I doubled looked at her house and saw Jason sitting on the doorstep, crying. I knew why he was upset, so there was no point in asking.
I sat down next to him, and he looked up at me, wiping his eye with his sleeve.
“She’s not gunna come back.” He whispered.
“I know man, I know.” I nodded. She promised that she would come back when she was 18.
She would find something there. She wasn’t going to come back. I just knew it.

“They’re not good people Scott, you gotta know that. She’s not going to last there. Not for five minutes.” This got my attention.
“How do you know that Jason?” I asked.
Jason paused. I didn’t think he had told anyone this, not even Oakley. “They were one of my foster parents awhile back. They treated me like shit.”
I knew this; I knew they were bad people. I froze when she told me they were going to be taking care of her. Jim Kelang is the Alpha of the worst pack in the world. He was trouble, big trouble.
“How long were you with them for?” I gulped.
“Couple of months. Maybe less I dunno.”
“How’d you get out?” I asked, maybe Oakley could sneak off or something.
“Ended up in hospital. Bruise everywhere, broken legs. Doctors didn’t believe me when I told them it was them that did it. They have everyone on their side over there. I missed so much school and soccer, people got suspicious. Child service finally took me away.”
Oakley wasn’t going to last, there was just no hope for her there. There had to be something that I could do. Jason was strong, stronger that Oakley. She wasn’t a fighter when it can to that stuff.
Before I befriended her, she would flinch if someone looked in her way let alone talked to her. She had improved immensely lately, and that was all just for nothing.
“That’s bullshit. They shouldn’t be allowed to have any more kids.”
“I told you Scott, they are one of the most powerful people I have ever met, they could probably get away with murder if they wanted to.” He shook his head.
This was impossible.
“I’m going to talk to my dad. There has to be something that he can do to get her back.” I said.

“Tell me if you get somewhere will you?” Jason asked me.
“Will do.” I walked off and ran home. I changed into wolf form and let out all my anger.
I sprinted home, not caring if anymore saw me. I didn’t care what happened after this, as long as she was okay.
When I reached home, dad was already in wolf form, he was just about to change back, when he spun around and glared at me.
‘Son, what are you doing here?’ He said to me through the bond. He wasn’t speaking, only through our minds.
‘Oakley’s gone.’ I muttered back.
‘What happened?’
‘She got adopted.’
‘By who?’
‘The Kelang family.’ I growled.
‘Alpha Jim?’ he clarified.
I nodded my head.
‘She is on their territory now son, there is nothing you can do about it.’ He shook his head.
‘I’m not giving up dad.’
‘I will not let you get yourself into that type of situation Scott. There is nothing you can do.’ He yelled.
I ran.
I didn’t want to talk to him right now. I couldn’t.
Why was everyone being so dam negative about all this?
It was like nobody wanted Oakley back.
I wasn’t going to give up.
Not until my heart stopped beating.
***
In human form, I sat in the forest and thought about everything happening these past few weeks.
Everything was absolutely crazy. I met her, and I lost her in just a short period of time. I told her to call me when she docked off the plane, so I guess it would be alright. I could hear her voice again soon.
I was fiddling with all the leaves around me, not really focusing on anything in particular. It was kind of peaceful to be out of all the loud drama.
I just can’t believe she didn’t tell me earlier. That was low. Beyond low.
I thought she was better than that.
School was going to be extremely boring without her. How was I going to focus on my finals when the only thing on my mind was Oakley?
She was the reason I went to school. It was going to be a complete bore without her there.
I got up from the ground and slowly made my way back to the house. I had to be home when Oakley called. I couldn’t possibly miss it.
She promised that she would call.
When my house was in view, I saw something that was out of the ordinary. I saw a white envelope taped to the door.
My heart rate increased automatically.
I ran to the door and ripped it of the wood. I opened it and growled as I saw the writing.
Scott,
everything was just starting to get good. Why did she have to leave? That’s right because she was adopted. You see, I had this all planed out and new exactly what I was going to do from the start and to be honest I though you did too.
Oakley will be in good care. She will have a bed to sleep in, and maybe someone to sleep in it with.
I’ll take really good care of her for you Scott.
She is of course my new sister now.
I’ll tell her you said hi.
He was a Kelang.
She probably wasn’t going to make it to the airport without getting hurt.
That monster.
There was no other word to describe it.
Before I could turn around, something ejected into my leg, and I suddenly felt weak.
My eyes felt shut and I was welcomed into darkness.

After his parents died, Alex Roth had a plan: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the world’s greatest university of wizardry—but fate had another plan. On his eighteenth, he is marked as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the land’s great enemy. But his brand is 'The Fool', worst of the marks.

World Story: Biographies of Extraordinary People
Important note: I’d like to thank Dr. Buller for their advice on dialogue by their critical review. And I’m on a one-month break to post the first revised chapters on Scribble Hub. Please stay tuned! Even in faraway worlds, every folk had a story, and monsters came in numerous shapes and sizes. However, heroes never existed in this otherworld. Even the most idealistic understood this deep within. But as they abandoned their humanity at times, they quickly regained it. It was not that they became human again. They always were. So what happened when the monster devoid of humanity appeared? Well, the “heroes” sought to slay it at all costs either way, lest it would be the end of their stories. A portal/isekai fantasy that I wanted to deconstruct some elements within. Expect a whole ton of references and dialogue because I’ll deliberately write it more like a light novel. The last thing to consider is that Japanese names in my novel will come with kanji/hiragana characters within parentheses. The same goes for any other derived from non-Latin writing systems. It’s because none of the names I write will be accidental or random. They’ll all have meaning. New chapters Monday to Thursday at 11:00 PM (GMT+8), though sometimes I can’t. Credit for the cover art goes to HWPerfidy. She’s a freelance artist on this site, and I’d love anyone who shows her support.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

All Stats Random
Un-reality, the greatest game in the century just launched and Chris starts to play it. He wants to change his circumstances, which are through no fault of his own. But fate doesn't let it be that simple. He gets a hidden unique class, but that class has a special ability, one that randomizes all his stats whenever it wants? What? The world truly can't be fair to him. Not even in a game. Now he has to figure out a way to make this odd quirk of his class work. When he smiles, the world loves him.When he laughs, the world fears him. (and that was my stab at trying to imitate those chinese synopses) Regular chapters, once or twice per week. On the weekends usually. I will finish this novel, be it takes 1 year or 2. It will get a proper ending. Afterall, the ending is paramount. Also, the readers might feel rewarded if they look closely while reading. I try to be quite mindful and put in interesting details or things that would come into play later. And, personally i think that reviews on this site might as well be pointless. Unless you know the reviewer and think that you share his views. Your thoughts on a particular thing (like a novel) can differ from others. So, do give it a try before arbitrarily deciding. This is my try to perfect the 'master of all/everything' type of MC, inside a proper, realistic VR world, from a game design perspective and immersion and no convenient 'convert gold to irl currency' button. It is going to be a game first of all. Not a fantasy world overloaden with status screens and skills you can't possibly keep track of. A game with all of the real world aspects to it. Not a cheap fantasy world with shoehorned in stats.
