You followed Norman inside and he led you to a dining area, fixed with fine china and organizaed to perfection. It was beautiful.
"So, Y/N, you drove out all this way for a job interview. That shows commitment." He said settling in one of the chairs along to stretched table.
"Umm, yes, I actually moved here not too long ago and have been looking for a job." You said trying to sound as professional as possible.
"So no family or close friends yet I assume?" he asked. You shook your head awkwardly. You kind of uprooted your entire life. He nodded respectably.
"Well the job is yours if you want it. There is a catch though." he said with a fixed gaze. You nodded for him to go on. "You can never leave us Y/N. We need you here and if you take this position, it is for life."
You sat silently for a minute. He seemed very intense. You wanted the job and assumed maybe he was just being intense so you would back off.
You extended your hand. "Deal." he smiled and shook your hand. You signed some paperwork and he put it into a breif case.
"I will show you to your quarters and in the morning you will be able to meet the rest of the tennants. I am sure you are tired from a long day of travel." he said with a kind smile, pulling your chair out for you.
You followed him up the long spiral staircase and down a hallway of rooms. He pointed to one of the first doors. "This is my room if you ever need anything." he said.
As he passed the rest of the doors you noticed they were all shut. No noise filled the silent hall. He stopped in front of a door.

"This is your room." he said handing you a key. The doors locked from the inside but you shugged it off, lots of tennants means getting more privacy you guessed.
He pushed the door open and you stepped into the room. It was a nice size with a queen bed and plenty of furniture.
You noticed the attached bathroom and balcony. "I trust this will accomodate you well. We will send for your clothes and personal belongings." he said.
You only nodded to him, you were really staying here then? He was serious about not leaving.. That or he just wanted to make sure you were comfortable and didn't have to travel all the way home.
He left you to look over your room and you shut the door behind him. This was your life now.

Mistwalker Xyn and the Cult of Eldritch Evil
[Participant in the 2020 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] Having just graduated to adulthood, Xyn is salty about how his lackluster Awakening has resulted in his current derided status within his clan and tribe, particularly when compared to the successes of his litter-siblings. The revelation of the truth about his heritage sets in motion events leading to him traveling to human lands on a secret mission for his tribe. Cringeworthy moments and awkwardness will ensue as young Xyn (an anthropomorphic tiger-kin), raised in the sheltered life of a martial artist, navigates human society with a trusty sidekick or two picked up along the way and might just save his corner of the world while he's at it. Gore will be minimally present as needed to tell a fantasy martial arts tale. There won't be any sexual content, but mild/vague suggestive themes may occur occasionally due to the nature of Xyn's mission and his insecurities. Story should be teen appropriate. Thanks for reading! [Background for the cover art is courtesy GG-graphics via Pixabay.]

To live is to Dream (LitRPG; First Draft)
A new Power has come into the World and seeks to change it. Being on the last dregs of sanity and full of alcohol Daniel West receives an opportunity to seek revenge. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To live is to Dream is the second book of the Just a Dream series. You do not have to read the first to enjoy the second, but there will be recurring characters along the line. The first book features Mir, a man that dislikes how his current world appears and hence wants to change it. The second book will feature other people and how the changes implemented by Mir affect their lives. For those interested in my first book, it's easy to find it. Just beware that with the first book, it was my first time writing and there are a lot of grammar errors despite lots of editing, at least at the beginning of the book. The cover was done by Lmarief. I had requested something bizarre and she delivered. I have even used it as part of the story since her interpretation of my imagination was a bit different. Still, I loved it. As a thank you gift, I posted a link to her profile here for others who want a unique cover. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/220043
