The Only One
Chapter Two
I went to bed thinking about her and now I'm waking up thinking about her. She's absolutely consuming me!
And it's true, I WAS happy because of her; everything was perfect...because of her.
I hope that I'll get to see her again. I mean, we're in California a lot, and we have the next 5 days off which we're spending in Cali. I have to see her again.
I look down at my phone to see if there are any twitter updates on her, not that I'm a stalker or anything.
There are about a million tweets saying how awesome our concert was, and how great it was to meet us. Great to meet us? What about great to meet her?!
I retweet one tweet, and reply to another saying it was great to meet her too.
I'm staring at her profile picture, the one me and her, as Jamie walks into the room asking what's up.
I don't answer right away because I don't actually hear him, and then he starts waving his hand in front of my eyes.
"What, Jamie?" I almost seem to snap.
"Whoa, dude. Chill."
"Sorry," I say. "What's up?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to remind you, we're going to Santa Monica today, and you're expected to come with us." He says.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot."
"What's up with you lately? Ever since last night you've been having trouble focusing and everything. What happened at the show?" Jamie asks.
"Nothing happened." I say and shake my head, although he just gives me a look saying, 'Do you honestly think I'm that stupid?' I just give him an innocent look back and shrug.
"Seriously, RK."
"Seriously, Jamie."
"I'm not as stupid as you peg me to be, mister. Just because I'm your younger brother doesn't make me stupid."

"I never said you were stupid, Jamie." I say.
"Ryan. Just tell me."
"I already did, Jamie."
"No you didn't." He says and I just give him a blank stare. "Okay, I've got this. It's a girl. Omg it's Hanna! I know its Hanna. You like her." He says, and snaps his finger and points at me with a cocky grin on his face.
How in the heck does he know this?! I don't exactly want to tell him that's the truth, but I also don't deny it. We all made a pact that we wouldn't date fans. Urrrgh.
"Okay, so it is." Jamie confirms. "So what're you going to do about it?"
"I don't know, Jamie!" I say in defeat.
"Tweet her! Call her! Make a tribute to her! Talk about her in a SocialCam! I don't know, do something! You're miserable, dude."
"I know, but we made that pact that we wouldn't date fans..."
"Yup, so we just don't tell Ian and Nash. Problem solved."
"Jame, Ian finds out everything. And Nash... Well, he finds out stuff from the media."
"Yeah, well, we're going to have to change that."
"Jamie, I don't want her to think I'm being pushy."
"Pushy?! She'll be flattered! You're...you! And she was totally into you last night!"
Pft. She was not. "No way."
"Uh, yeah way!" Jamie says, as Ian walks into the room.
"Yeah way, what?" He asks.
"Yeah way, we're going to Santa Monica." Jamie answers quickly, and trying not to sound suspicious.
"Okay...?" He squints his eyes, as if he knows we're lying. "Okay... Well, we're leaving in an hour or so, so what you need to do." He says, and leaves the room, shaking his head, thinking we're crazy.

"You clear on what you need to do?" Jamie asks.
"Yeah." I answer, as he leaves the room, leaving me to shower and get ready. I put on my American flag tank, and ripped jeans. I just hope I see her there. She made everything last night feel...right. It was perfect. That concert was perfect. And I never even thought of...Monica last night. I really think that I'll be okay, and Monica really is gone from my life, for good.

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

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
