I'm coming up, it might be my time
I'm taking off, you might say I'm all in, I'm all in
I'll send a postcard from the sky
♡ ────── ♡ ────── ♡
"I'm so excited!" Ellie says while she rings the doorbell.
"Remember when we get there stick together." I say.
I hear running inside and then the door swings open. "Jade don't forget your coat!" Red shouts.
"I'm already wearing it." She says going back inside to grab it.
When Jade comes back out she says, "Hey guys!"
"Hey." I say holding my hand up for a high five. She jumps up to reach my height and high fives my hand.
"I reached it this time!" She says smiling.
"Good job kiddo!" I say laughing.
Jade and Ellie start to catch up and head back to my car, while I wait for Red. A few moments later my girlfriend comes out with a smile on her face.
"Hi!" She says checking me out. Shut up.
"Hey." I say glancing at her necklace. "You're wearing it!"
She blushes and murmurs, "Ya I thought it looked nice with my outfit..."
"You look gorgeous as usual." I say grinning.
"Aww thanks." She says trying to hide a blush.
I chuckle and wrap my arms around her waist. "I'm going to kick your ass in bowling." I whisper.
"There's no way in hell that's happening." She says smirking. I lean down and brush my lips against hers and she pulls me closer.
"Stop making out!" I hear Jade shout.
"Can we please get there before tomorrow?" Ellie yells.
Scarlett separates from me and laughs. She quickly locks the door and I grab her hand.
"Do you guys want to do the arcade or bowling first?" I ask.

"Bowling!" All three of them say at the same time.
I laugh and we get in line for bowling shoes. Once we have our bowling shoes on and our lane is open, Ellie decides to bowl first.
I sit by Red and give her a small kiss. When we separate she murmurs, "I'm going to destroy you."
When she stands up I smirk and say, "We'll see about that." She turns around and I give her a slap on the butt.
She looks over at Jade and Ellie who aren't paying attention and says, "Fuck you."
"Just give me a time and place." I say smiling.
She flips me off and I blow her a kiss. When she let's go of the ball it rolls towards the pins and knocks down every single one.
"Top that!" She says beaming.
I walk up to the ball machine and grab my bowling ball. No I don't. I let go of the ball and watch it roll towards the pins.
It knocks down 6 pins and leaves a big space in the middle. When I bowl again it knocks down 3 pins down. I walk back to the couch and see Red smirking. "I'm just warming up." I say as an excuse.
She rolls her eyes and says, "Sure."
We watch Jade knock down 9 pins and she starts jumping up and down. "Good job!" Ellie says clapping.
An hour later we've finally reached the last frame of bowling. Red bowls and finishes off with a score of 145.
"You owe me ice cream!" Red says smirking.
"Not so fast Red. I still have to go." I say.
"There's no way you'll beat me." She says.
"Watch me." I say standing and walking up to the bowling lane. I slowly exhale and let go of the ball.

It knocks down 5 so I need to knock down at least 3 to win. I quickly grab the bowling ball and let it roll down the lane. It knocks down 4 pins and I jump with joy.
I turn around and see Red's jaw hanging open and Ellie and Jade clapping. I take a bow and walk towards Red. "You should close your mouth babe. You'll catch flies." I say smirking.
She gives me a playful glare and I cup her chin. "You owe me ice cream." I murmur before crashing my lips against hers.
"Let's go to the arcade!" Jade says running towards the arcade area. Ellie immediately follows and Red separates from me.
She sees me pout and gives me a quick peck. "Come on we have to buy the game cards!" She says taking my hand and dragging me to the machine. I definitely will.
After we pay for game cards we hand them to Ellie and Jade and they run to a random machine. I face Red and say, "So we have $20 to spend."
"What do you want to do first?" She asks looking around the arcade.
I think for a few moments and then say, "You."
Her head whips towards me and she gives me a small shove. "Stop." She says blushing with a smile.
"You're so cute." I say cupping her chin.
She tippy toes and gives me a light kiss. When she pulls away she says, "I want to play some skee ball!"
We walk towards the skee ball lanes and slide the card on the card reader. We start rolling the skee balls upward and in the end get 10 tickets. "Not bad!" Red says holding up her hand for a high five.
I high five her and we start walking around the arcade. It's not always about the tickets you know...
Ellie and Jade are talking about their prizes while we're walking back to the car to get some ice cream.
I park the car in front of the gas station and everyone exits the car. I hold the door open for everyone and Scarlett immediately orders ice cream in a cone.
"Scarlett can you buys us donuts?" Ellie asks.
"Of course!" She says giving them the cutest smile.
"Thank you!" They say at the same time.
Jade and Ellie smile at each other before they each grab a donut from the tray and drop it in a plastic bag. "These donuts are my calling." Jade says.
"That doesn't even make any sense." Ellie says laughing.
I walk towards Red and gently grab her wrist, "You know I was kidding about the ice cream. You really don't have to pay."
She turns around and says, "Nope you won fair and square. I have to keep my side of the bet."
"I'm sure the winner won't mind..." I say.
The worker finishes topping of the ice cream and hands Red the cone. "Here you go." She says cheekily smiling.
I lean down and kiss her on the lips. "You're the best girlfriend ever." I murmur.
She blushes and says, "I know."
I laugh and she goes to the counter to pay for our treats. We start to head out and I ask, "How come you didn't get anything?"
"I'm not really hungry... I'm still kind of full from the pretzels I snuck in my bag." She says laughing.
"Of course." I say laughing.
We get inside my car and I drop Red and Jade off. You only liked it because I won the bowling game. Whatever.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14
