《second best // dnf》17. I Missed You
Advertisement
After scrolling for over an hour, I came across a particular Tweet posted by a fan, I felt anger rise in my stomach and tears swimming in my eyes. The Tweet read:
RIP George! You will be missed a lot but now you're in a better place <3
_____________________________
We ended the stream because of that 1 particular donation. It was a bad thing to do; everyone thinks George is dead - when he is most certainly not.
He is unconscious, but still alive. All over Twitter, people had posted random stuff of him telling him to rest in peace. I desperately wanted to tell the fans that George was alive but Dream said that its ''none of there fucking business''
Dream never leaves the hospital, I get him food and drinks and sometimes I go to see Karl and the others who are all staying at an air bnb about five minutes away from the house. I think they should come and visit the hospital but -once again- Dream disagrees, so we can't. I know he thinks that, that is what is best for George however I there is no harm done if they did come.
I just returned home from trip out to MacDonald's, to grab Dream and I something to eat for dinner. With two bags of food dangling from my hands, I entered George's hosptial room and smiled. Curled up in a chair in the corner of the room, fast asleep was Dream. A thick, fuzzy blanket was draped over his shoulders and his head rested on the arm of the chair. I knew if I was in the room, then I would wake him and Dream really needed sleep; he hasn't slept in like fourty hours. Creeping silently out of the room, I left him alone to rest.

_______________________________
Tiredness was starting to catch up with me, I could barely give my eyes open but I desperately wanted to stay awake. In the end, I decided to rest my eyes for a while and sleepily rested my head on the arm of the chair and fell into a deep sleep.
I could hear something. My eyes still felt heavy and I was still unbelievably tired. Shifting around in the uncomfortable chair, I tried to find a decent position to nap in. Then I heard the noise again. It was like a grumble - kind of. I rubbed my bleary eyes and stretched.
"Dream?" I heard a small voice croak.
My eyes snapped open.
"George?" I said quite loudly.
"Dream?" the voice said again.
I practically fell out of my chair and crawled over to the bed, I looked up to see him, his eyes fluttering slightly. I squeezed his hand, to let him know that I was there. Softly, I asked, "George can you hear me?"
"Dream," he sounded panicked, "Where am I? What happened?"
"I um you were in a um car accident George..."
"What??!!" He tried to sit up but I ordered him to lay back down.
"Oh George! I'm so sorry."
"Why are you sorry?"
I realised something, he had no recollection of our fight. I raised my hand, and they found there way to his cheek. He winced as I touched his face and I immediately pulled my hand away. Then, I burst into the tears. George looked terrifyed.
"Dream? Dream? Are you okay?" I chuckled through my sobs at his concern.
"George for God's sake I'm fine! You're the one in hospital because of me!"
He frowned and croaked, "Because of you?"

Both of our pairs of eyes diverted to the door as Sapnap burst in.
"Nurses said-" His mouth dropped open, "George?!" He threw himself at George and squeezed him tight. George let out a little cry. Sapnap loosened his grip and whispered apologetically into his ear, not wanting to let go. I'm glad he came in, I didn't want to explain how he got in the accident.
George was exhausted despite being unconscious for five days and he kept dozing off to sleep as we spoke to him.
_____________________________
My eyelids fluttered. A throbbing pain lingered in my head; my leg hurt a lot too. My face stung a little and well every part of me ached. The light in the room was blinding; I could only squint my eyes open. There was a beeping noise in the background, it was very annoying and it just added to my horrid headache. My brain felt like mush. I had no idea where I was or why I was here. Suddenly, I felt very nervous.
Lifting my head slightly, I noticed that someone else was in the room was me, asleep in a chair. They had messy, blonde hair hanging down in the way of their eyes and they looked quite tall.
"Dream?" I croaked. My voice sounded raw and hoarse and very British. It didn't even sound like my voice. The blonde boy stirred. "Dream?"
"George?" The boy said back. He looked up at me and came scrabbling over to the bed. "George can you hear me?" I ignored the question.
Panic was rising in my voice, "Dream? Where am I? What happened?"
Dream looked me in the eyes, they were glimmering with guilt, "I um you were in a um car accident..."
"What?!" My heart rate frenzied. I established that the beeping was my heart rate as they were both in time. I attempted to sit up but he made me lay down again. Dream looked like he was going to cry.
"Oh George! I'm so sorry."
I was confused. Dream hadn't done anything wrong, right?
I asked, "Why are you sorry?". He reached his arm forward to touch my face. When his fingers touched my cheek, I winced, it hurt.
Dream quickly pulled his hand away and he burst into tears. I was terrifyed. Did I do something wrong?
"Dream?" I asked, scared that I did something wrong, "Dream? Are you okay?"
He chuckled through his sobs. "George for God's sake I'm fine! You're the one in hospital because of me!"
I frowned and croaked, "Because of you?"
Was it Dream's fault I was in hospital?

Agent of the Realm?
I am Seria, the goddess of life and death. I was fathered by Chaos and born by Order. I am the first ambassador who leaves the realm of Dedessia to make contact with the other realms. Dedessia is a harsh place, a place in which even immortals, demons and gods struggle to survive. Nonetheless, we carved a path for ourselves and created a great kingdom. Something to be proud of. I am their representative and the first to make contact with the other realms. Can you imagine my surprise when they greet me with a fireball to the face? Me, the one who governs life and death!? Well, my wrath should be the least of their fears. They should hope that my parents never pay them a visit.

Reborn as a DRAGON
My name is Tim, or it was until I died. There was no light at the end of the tunnel, no white room to choose any cheats from, nor was there any meeting with God. I didn’t die heroically while saving someone, and I certainly didn’t get hit by a truck. My death was rather stupid and anticlimactic, I had apparently bumped my head while sleeping and passed away... That should have been the end of the road for me, but like many self-proclaimed main characters, I joined the army of multi-dimensional travelers and was reincarnated. Being an avid light novel and manga reader, I would have been excited about the opportunity, if not for my new siblings, who tried to kill me as soon as I was born, or for my mother, who seemed to have a thing for throwing me off cliffs. And let’s not forget my murderous father, who forced me to flatten a small country as my Rite of passage. Oh, did I mention I was reborn as a Dragon?

Core Chronicles
Core Chronicles is a series of interrelated stories, including in-depth major story arcs and shorter side stories about Cores and those affected by them through direct and indirect means. The first arc is planned to be Dungeon Core with City Building elements in an Urban Fantasy setting. It will mainly follow one main character's point of view, but on occasion, the POV may shift to side characters to give more information about what is happening in the wider world. The stories will also examine how the world changes with the introduction of magic and its various purposes. The System will be between soft and crunchy, with discrete levels and stats for characteristics and skills. But, for example, the health statistic will be a less clear indicator rather than a distinct stat.

Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
