"You ready?" Ethan asks reaching out for my hand.
I hold his hand and say, "Definitely."
He smiles and says, "I forgot to tell you that you look beautiful with that beanie on."
"If you pull it down you're not getting a single kiss." I say seriously.
He looks around and pins me to the wall. "Like this?" He whispers pulling my beanie.
"Etha-" I say but get cut off when he presses his lips against mine. God I hate him.
When we pull apart I glare at him. "I hate you." I say.
"No you don't." He says grinning.
"You're an idiot." I say shaking my head.
"But I'm your idiot." He says dragging me into the school.
"Ya..." I say blushing at the ground. Really attractive alright. I walk towards my locker and see Harper, Hunter, and Layla. I squeeze Ethan's hand and he squeezes it back. I don't think it's that big of a deal...
Layla is the first to spot us and she tells Hunter and Harper, "Pay up bitches." She sticks out her hand and Harper and Hunter look confused.
Ethan and I arrive at my locker and Harper and Hunter look at us. "Oh my god are you guys together?!" Harper shouts.
I nod and look at Ethan. He glances at me and kisses my lips. "Congrats man!" Hunter says giving him a bro hug or something.
"I knew you guys would get together this month!" Layla says smiling. She gives me a hug and says to Ethan, "If you hurt her I will cut off your dick and feed it to the wolves."
"No need. I'm never letting her go." He says smiling.
"Now where's my money hoes?" Layla asks.

Hunter and Harper sigh and each give her $20. "Did you guys bet on us?" Ethan asks.
Layla nods and says, "I said you guys would be together or at least go on a date this month. These losers thought it would happen in December."
I rolls my eyes and open my locker. "But everything works out in the end. Ethan and Scarlett are happy and the only person left is me." Layla says sighing.
"How does it feel being the fifth wheel?" Hunter asks laughing.
"Eh I'll get used to it. But I won't be single for long... I'm currently seeing this girl named Meg." Layla says.
"Have you asked her out?" I ask.
"Not yet..." Layla says sighing.
"You should ask her out today!" I say.
"You think?" She asks raising an eyebrow.
"Ya during lunch or something!" Harper says.
"Okay! I will!" Layla says confidently.
"What if she says no..." She says a few seconds later.
"She won't. Who could say no to this." Harper says motioning to Layla.
The bell rings and we all split up. Ethan and I walk to class holding hands and I can't stop smiling. Shut up!
Ethan and I are about to leave the school when we see Layla running towards us.
"Guess what!" She shouts.
"What?" Ethan asks.
"She said yes!" Layla says smiling.
"I'm so happy for you!" I say hugging her.
"Congrats! When's the date?" He asks.
"This weekend." Layla claims jumping with happiness. "Have you guys seen Hunter and Harper?" She asks.
"I saw them at Harper's locker." I say shrugging.
"Okay see you guys!" She says waving before she bolts.
We walk into the break room and put down our backpacks. "Are you wearing your beanie during your shift?" Ethan asks.
"Yep." I say nodding. "And you can't pull it since we're at work." I say smirking.

"Really?" He asks walking closer.
"Uh-huh." I say taking a step back.
I keep moving away from him until I hit the wall. I fake a right and run to the left of Ethan but he still grabs my wrist, and pulls me into a kiss. He pulls down my beanie and he smiles against my lips.
"Hey guys there's-" Mrs. Cooper says before I push Ethan to the ground.
She looks at Ethan suspiciously and continues. "There's someone coming in to do a interview with me for this college paper, so when he comes in please tell him to go to my office."
"Sure!" I say.
She walks away and Ethan grabs my hand to pull himself up. "What the heck Red?"
"I'm sorry!" I say blushing. "I panicked!"
He pouts and I hug him. "I'm sorry..."
He wraps his arms around me and gives me a forehead kiss. "Look I know you guys are a couple or whatever but stop kissing and get to work." Mrs. Cooper shouts into the hallway.
I blush and walk towards the counter. "Did mom tell you?" Ethan asks when we walk out.
Mrs. Cooper laughs and says, "I knew you guys would get together the first day you guys met."
"Well thank you for hiring me grandma. I met the girl of my dreams that day." Ethan says wrapping his arms around me.
I look down awkwardly and Mrs. Cooper laughs. She walks away and I lightly punch Ethan. "Stop being cute." I say blushing. I know!
"I can't help it!" Ethan says cupping my face. He presses his lips against mine and I smile.
We hear someone walk into the cafe and we separate. The guys looks up from his phone and smirks at me. "Hey I'm here to do an interview with Linda Cooper." He says.
"Her office is over there." I say pointing to her door.
"Thanks princess. You think I could get a coffee with you after?" He asks. All true.
"Sorry but she's already taken." Ethan says wrapping an arms around my waist. Ew don't make it sound weird.
I smile at him and the guy lets out a scoff. "You're missing out princess."
I look at him with disgust and flip him off. When he turns around and walks into Mrs. Cooper's office I say, "Fucking asshole."
I look at Ethan and see he's glaring at the door. "Hey he's gone." I say.
He looks at me and immediately calms down. He gives me a quick kiss and I ask, "You okay?"
"Now I know what you felt like when those girls hit on me. I hate it." He says.
I laugh and say, "I didn't hate it when you got hit on..."
"You called one of them a bitch." Ethan says raising an eyebrow.
"Ya but we weren't together so I had no right to hate them... But that bitch thought I dyed my hair." I say.
"Could you not tell that I liked you the first week of school?" Ethan asks.
"Nope." I say laughing.
"I thought I was so obvious..." Ethan says chuckling.
"I started to like you like you when you asked me to go to the carnival with you." I say feeling embarrassed. "I never thought I would ever say that out loud."
Ethan laughs and pulls my beanie down.
When I get home I eat dinner and do my homework. So not excited for finals... After Thanksgiving break I'll only have like four more weeks of this semester!
Same! The year went by so fast!
After I finish my homework I take a quick shower and slip into my sheets. Should I finish my book or finish watching Season 3 of Once Upon a Time?

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
