**********
Laying on the cold chair, it reminded me of a dentist chair.
I got even more nervous when Johnny came back with all the equipment he needed.
I was scared of needles and didn't know what this will feel like.
"Are you ready? I have this drawn up for you, do you like it?"
He picked up a light peice of paper, a beautiful black wolf with shining dark green eyes.
"That's beautiful! Your very talented" I grabbed the paper, and couldn't help but smile.
It really is beautiful, I loved the realistic smooth look of the fur, the shine on it's fangs, and I felt lost In those deep, dark eyes.
"I love it, let's get started" I looked back and smiled at him, and he took the sketch.
He softly grabbed the lip of my shorts and pulled them up near my waist.
Placing the sketch on my leg, and he dabbed it with a mild soaked sponge, the cool water felt so good on my skin.
Then after A few seconds, he slowly peeled it off, leaving a perfect stencil over the horrible tattoo.
Picking up his tattoo gun, and dabbing the needle with black ink, one hand on my knee, and the other holding the gun.
"Are you ready?" He looked up at my face.
" I guess so..will it hurt?" Stupid question..
"Alittle, but I'll be gentle, I'll never try to hurt you" he smiled that knee weakening smile.
What he said made me feel strange, but then I swallowed my fear, and readied myself.
I could hear his foot hit the peddle, and the buzzing noise of the tattoo gun.

Next thing I knew, it had punctured my skin, it stung so bad. My hands gripped the edge of the chair.
"It's okay, I'm getting the worst parts over first" his thumb rubbed my leg softly as he kept the tattoo gun running over my skin.
I think this guy is getting alittle to
Close for my comfort, I don't even know him but the scent he gives is so soothing, and his voice makes me melt.
About an hour had past, and quarter of the wolf was done, it's looking amazing right now.
But my leg already feels hot and swollen.
The buzzing stopped as he sat the gun on the table, and opened a packet of baby wipes.
He took in his hand and placed it on the work he has done on my thigh so far, and so softy whipping the execs ink off, an cooling my skin.
I rest my head back on the headrest, and sighed in relief.
"Does that feel good?" He chuckled
"Oh yeah.. How long have we got left?"
"About another hour or so, the hard parts are over, so it should be more comftable for you" he whipped a strain of hair away from his eyes, and picked up the gun again.
It was like slow motion, watching his muscles flex every time he moved.
He turned on the tattoo gun again and grabbed my leg softy.
Here we go..
-----
"All done" he said in a throaty voice, and setting the gun down, taking off his gloves.
I had my arm over my eyes to relax the last little bit of pain.
Removing my arm and I looked straight down at my tight.
I was amazed, it looks beautiful! Alittle red from the pain, but wow.. I couldn't imagine it would look that good, so real.

"Woah.. That's amazing, thank you so much Johnny!" Just saying his name, made my spine shiver.
He chuckled at my excitement, and grabbed some more wipes and handed them to me.
I gently cleaned my leg, and it looked even better!
"Thanks so much...I don't know how to thank you" i said back with a huge wide smile.
"Well, maybe pop into the shop again and I'll take you out for lunch" he stood up out of his chair, and crossed his arms over his chest. Oh god..those muscles.
I could see hints of wolves covering his arms like it was telling a story, then some I guess he got done for fun.
I felt shocked, I didn't know what to say, but my body just wanted to grab him.
"Uh.. Sure, maybe tomorrow?" I tilted my head in question.
"Anytime is a good time" he winked with a small smirk.
And handing me my jeans back.
"I'd leave those shorts on till you get home, and have a shower, make sure you don't get soap in it" Johnny started walking towards the door the opened to the main front room and counter and I followed slowly behind him, my leg kinda hurt.
"Hey um, how much do I owe you for today?" I reached for my wallet out of my jean pocket in my arms.
He then raised his hand "no no, no charge, I actually really enjoyed this session, free of charge" he smirked at me, and a deep tone to his voice.
I was even more shocked!
"No! No way, I got to pay for something like that" I said opening my wallet.
He shook his head "no really, free of charge, and I pay for lunch tomorrow" still smirking and opened the door.
Okay...
"All done?" The red headed lady at the counter asked.
"Yup, and she was an angel to deal with" he looked back over to me.
"Well, thank you so much, Johnny?" I smiled at him.
Johnny chuckled "Jonathan, Williams, but just call me Johnny" his eyes darkened.. That creeped me out, he really needs his eyes checked.
"Well.. I better get home, I'll see you tomorrow?" I took my hand out of my pocket, and raised it for a hand shake.
He raised his hand also, and it connected with mine, I could feel something like fire and electricity rush up my arm and send waves of pleasure through me.
Woah..
"Sure, have a safe drive" he nodded at me and I went to take my hand away but he had a firm grip, but he gently let go.
Walking over to the door, I thanked them again.
I unlocked my ute, and opened the door, before stepping in, I had the urge to look back.
I did.. And he was still standing there, with those deep, intimidating green eyes.

In Pursuit of Glory
I felt a huge physical force slam into my back. I didn't have any time to think as I rocketed into the wall and felt the drywall dent beneath my body. Eyes wide, I groaned and began to push off the wall when, unceasingly relentless, my assailant backstabbed me with a knife to my gut. I gasped; being stabbed there is no laughing matter. Even today, with all the advances of science, a wound like that can easily be mortal. Most likely would be. I gasped for air with a snarl, funneling the wind into my lungs to help them expand after being pancaked into the wall. Nobody f***ing backstabs me and gets away with it. If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I love being alive. I love it more than anything else. It’s something only a dead person can understand, and I feel myself forgetting all the time. But there’s a secret to death, and I keep it with me. Always. It’s never permanent, it’s never peaceful, and it’s always filled with regrets. But death, despite all of its shortfalls, can give a short respite from life, like a comfy afternoon nap. Death is Respite. It’s a rest for the weary. And to all those people who wander in death lonesome and regretting their broken lives - always, without fail, cut too short - I beg them to take advantage of it. I tell everyone to take advantage of death, even when I can’t bring myself to do so. --- Ciaran travels the world in pursuit of Glories, unfathomable, power-bestowing balls of golden light sequestered in difficult-to-reach places. A fun fantasy romp with a character with an unorthodox narrative voice trying to find his purpose in the world.

Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?

The Flame in the Forge (A Slice of Life Isekai LitRPG)
Thrown into a world he doesn’t recognise, Niall Vendra has to adapt, learn and fight to survive. Physically, emotionally, personally. If Niall wants to save his family, then the man he was needs to transform. Surrounded by Minotaurs, Fae and Magic, Niall will have to reinvent himself as both a warrior and an artisan. Growth won’t be fast and it won’t be easy, but with patience and hard work, Niall can earn the Skills, Abilities and Classes to battle his way to the top. The Flame In The Forge is a LitRPG Isekai/Portal fantasy. You should expect slice of life with conflict and an overarching mystery to be solved. Niall will be both a crafter (primarily, but not exclusively, as a blacksmith) and a fighter. There won’t be a harem. But don't worry, there will be both flames and forges! I should be clear that while this is very much LitRPG, it's story led and I have tried to make it feel believable. So, for example, the first blue box doesn't appear until chapter 6. I hope that the payoff is worth it. Compared to some LitRPGs you may find the pace rather gentle at times. There will be some periods where it feels like Niall is eking out every level and others when, for good reasons, he makes a significant leap. My goal though is to give you a satisfying story, so that dictates when and how Niall's stats and skills change. I can reassure you that I fully intend for Niall to become immensely powerful, but I want you to feel like he has earned every level in a realistic way.
