*riiiiinnnnnnggggg riiiiinnnnnnggggg*
"What's the point in calling me."
"Tsukasa look I'm sorry, okay?" Rui sighed, "I've been busy uhm unpacking furniture."
"You told me that your dad was already there setting up the furniture last week when you were still in Japan."
"Oh yeaaa. I did say that ahaha. Whoops."
"So were you lying or not?"
"I wasn't lying then I just wanted to mess with you ahaha."
"You're not funny. Bye Rui."
"Wait-"
*Beeeeeeeeeeep*
I set my phone down. Rui didn't even try to call me again. It's now 9am. I should be at school, but why does it matter?
Ugh. Why is Tsukasa so mad? Its not my fault I forgot. Wellll, I guess it kinda is.
*Knock Knock*
"Come in!" I yelled.
"You start your new school tomorrow," my mom said as she walked into the room.
"Oh yea... School..."
"Just in case, the have this student who is going to help you out. Apparently she knows Japanese so if you forget some English words, she can help you."
"That's greatttt."
"I'll drive you to school tomorrow morning okay?"
"Okay."
She left my room. A new school. It's probably way differently from Kamiyama. I checked the time. 8pm. I decided to go to sleep. Or at least try.
"Rui! Get up!" My mom yelled from the door.
"5 more minutes," I yawned.
"Get up NOW!"
"Ugh, fineee."
I got up and grabbed my stuff. Then, I unlocked my door and opened it.
"Your not gonna fix up your hair? You look like your homeless," she said fixing my hair.

"It looks fine," I sighed, moving her hand away.
"I guess so. Well come on. Don't want to be late for your first day!"
"Yeah."
We went downstairs. I checked the time. 7am. Why does school start so early?
I got into my mom's car and she started driving me to school. I should tell Tsukasa the truth.
My Star ❤️

I got out the car and walked inside the building. I went to the front office to get my schedule.
"Are you the new student?" a girl asked from behind me
"Uhm yea," I said after grabbing my schedule.
"Wow, your English is pretty good for a foriegn student."
"Thank you?"
"Anyways I'm Amaria, and I will help guide you through the school for the first month, but we'll probably be one friends and hang out longer!" She smiled.
She seems nice. "Yea. Uh, my name is Rui."
"That name is really pretty! Well let's get started! From what I remember... Oh yea! Today I'm supposed to take you around the school and show you where your classes will be. You have the same classes as me so I can help you if you forget."
She then grabbed my hand and we started walking down the hall.
"Uhm, can you let go of my hand?"
. . .
"Amaria?"
"Hmm?" She stopped and turned to me.
"Uh can you let go of my hand? I won't get lost if that's what your worried about haha." I said.
"Oh come onnn. Are you shy because you've never held a girls hand before?"

"No- It just-"
She squeezed my hand tightly. "Let's go Rui!" She started walking again, pulling me with her.
"-makes me uncomfortable. Nothing important apparently," I muttered.
"Did you say something?" She asked.
"No."
We continued walking, and she showed me where all our classes were located. She still held onto my hand which made me feel sick.
"Hey Amaria? Where are the restrooms?"
We turned the corner. "Right here!"
"Thanks. Give me a minute."
She finally let go of my hand, and I went inside. I could feel something come up my throat. I went into a stall and threw up in the toilet.
After I cleaned up, I was going to head back out. However, I decided to listen to a conversation Amaria was having.
"So Amari, is the new guy cute?"
"He is really handsome! He seems kind and funny and-"
"I think he'd be perfect for you then!"
"He would!"
. . .
I felt sick again.
"See you later Amari!"
"Bye bye!"
I waited a few minutes before leaving the restroom.
"It's almost lunchtime, Rui, so let's start heading to the cafeteria."
"Yea."
I put my hands in my pockets. When she noticed she couldn't grab my hand, she grabbed my arm and pulled my hand out of my pocket and started walking.
This bitch.
I tried shaking her hand off, but she only gripped on tighter, so I stopped trying not wanting to hurt her.
Once we got to the cafeteria she told me to sit anywhere while she went to go get lunch food since I brought my own. It was pretty awkward.
I sat down at a table and opened my lunch. However, something felt off. I could feels eyes on me. Staring and watching my every move.They started whispering. Very badly because I could hear them.
"That's the new guy? Wow he's actually kinda cute."
"You owe me 20 bucks. I won the bet. He is so fine though."
"Like actually oh my god."
I ignored them and started eating.

Nexus
Caley Reid grew up without a home or family, an orphan in a system that was too busy protecting the children it watched over to actually care for them. To her, the words “family” and “home” carry a profound sense of loss and longing.

When she learns that her father has recently died, and that she is now due to come into her inheritance, it shakes her to the core. Desperate to learn about the family just beyond her reach, she puts her studies on hold to follow the trail her unknown parents have left for her. Now she must learn the secrets of her mother’s ancestral home…a home beyond her wildest dreams. And she must discover why her father sent her away when she was born, what ended his life, and what happened to her mother - before those secrets kill her.

8 144Reincarnated as a Troll in a Dark Fantasy World
A troll wakes up in the "forest of beginning" of a fantasy world with only faint memories of his past human life and unable to speak. The human realm will spare no expense to bring down this monstruous threat. While clinging to his humanity, the troll must use his cunning and modern knowledge to survive and evade the hunters. It is a dark age in a world of swords and magic, ruled by superstition and iron-clad rules. Tradition and conformity are the absolute cornerstones of society. There is no calendar, people count time by seasons, or days. Death, famine and vicious monsters are everywhere. People clutch in their communities, afraid of what is outside. Here and there, a Hero rises, his tale brief like a shooting star. Powerful monsters that drift too close to human's realm must be eradicated at any cost, or society might crumble. The Troll comitted this sin. This "isekai' LitRPG novel is an experiment in writing. We commit to the "Adventure" and "Fantasy" genres, but it might have comedy, romance, and both dark and light tones. Some events in this novel are drawn from random encounter generators and others are decided on a die roll just like a tabletop RPG. Things take a unpredictable tone! Non constructive / offensive comments may be deleted without previous warning. Daily Updates: One each monday through friday, two on saturday and sunday. As of september, the updates will be every even-numbered day. Cover Credits: "Ett gammalt bergtroll" - John Bauer, 1904 (with modifications)
8 440Ari-os
Ari-os is a story about a 21-year-old woman who woke up in an abandoned lab with little to no memories of her past. Turns out she is in the future now and the world became a very different place from what it used to be. Magic appeared in the world, changing it forever, and humanity created a way to control it, allowing people to increase their physical and mental abilities while shaping the world according to their will, but something caused civilization to regress, becoming a mere shadow of what it used to be. In her journey to figure out who she was, what happened to the world, and how much time has passed, Kali will discover ancient ruins, fight horrendous creatures, find how humanity has fared in this harsh world and meet with droids that walk the land as remnants from the technology that the world once had. In this story, you are going to see Litrpg elements such as a system with panels, skills, and stats (Although not inside a game, the main character has access to information about her growth much like an RPG). Survival elements will be present but it won't be the focus of the story, but crafting and enchanting on the other hand are going to be quite prevalent. Please, do let me know what you think in a comment or review, all criticisms are welcome. Also, English is not my native language so if you see any grammar mistakes, do tell me :) Chapters of ~2700 words each.
8 235Howard's Growth
In the not too distant future, the concrete of a new world has been laid to replace the dying Earth of old. In this world, one must provide value or perish in ignominy. Howard Manfield, like most pawns, fashions himself a king of his realm. Presiding over the corporatized dominion of genetic engineering, Howard was yet haunted by memories unknown to him. Awaking in a cold sweat to the dank smell of his own breath, his mind turning to the darkness from which it had emerged. In truth that was what he remembered most, it was more the substance of absence more than any meaningful presence on a color spectrum. It would not be until the first and last of his fated 'finding quests' that Howard Manfield would learn his place among his memories.

Now Ian has to figure out what his captain is hiding, before he's forced to destroy the mind of his hero. If you love cyberpunk that makes you think, then you'll enjoy Ian's war within himself, and his plight against the military system pushing him to murder.
