"Well that was a wonderful date." I mumbled as Critter climbed out of my pocket.
I grabbed his bowl and put his soft food in it.
I chuckled softly as Critter jumped towards his food and happily ate it.
Critter and I both jumped as I heard a loud knock on the door.
I looked at my phone.
10:37 PM.
"Who the hell is knocking on my door?" I mumbled as I marched over to the door.
I opened it and my eyes went wide.
This guy is freaking huge!
He has to be at least like 7 feet tall or something.
He had short black hair and dark green eyes with a black beard and mustache.
He also looked older too. Maybe in his 40's?
I gulped when I saw the scar on his neck and the giant black tattoos peeking out from under his short sleeve t-shirt.
"Umm?" I asked as I tried not to shrink back in fear.
"Hello Lu-uh Ms. Banks." The man smiled.
Holy shit. His voice is as deep as River's.
Damn him. I should not be thinking about him.
"Uh hi. But how do you know me?" I asked.
I placed my hand on my pocket knife that I always keep on my belt.
But seriously. What would a pocket knife do to this guy?
The pocket knife would probably bend.
"My name is Hank." The scary man smiled. "Mr. and Mrs. Banks sent me here."
I rolled my eyes. Why am I not surprised. My parents would do this.
"Of course." I sighed. "Come on in Hank."
"Thank you Ms. Banks." Hank smiled as he brought in a duffel bag.
"So?" I asked as I sat down at the island. "What did my parents assign you to be?"
"A butler kind of." Hank laughed. "Cook you food, clean, a driver, and they were also worried about your protection, so they assigned me to live here and be a sort of bodyguard you could say."

That caught my attention.
Worried? About me? As if.
"They were worried about me?" I asked suspiciously. "Since when?"
Hank looked nervous.
He slowly gulped. "Um yes Ms. Banks. They ordered me to be one."
I sighed. That's new.
But why did Hank look nervous.
It almost looked like he got caught in a lie.
"They also told me about Critter." Hank said suddenly.
Okay. So I guess he was the real thing.
A random stranger wouldn't know that.
I nodded with a smile.
He let out a small breath in relief.
That didn't go unnoticed.
I'll have to check up on him later.
Critter jumped in front of me and let out a loud hiss.
"Critter." I said sternly. "I'm so sorry Hank. He's not like this with anyone."
Except River.
"It's quite alright Ms. Banks. Maybe he'll like me when I fix his food." Hank laughed.
I nodded. "That is true."
"This is a lovely home Ms. Banks." Hank said smiling.
"Thanks." I smiled. "It was my parent's house before they moved. Let me show you where you will be staying. And please. Call me Jack."
Hank smiled but shook his head. "I would feel more comfortable calling you Ms. Banks."
I shrugged. "Suite yourself."
I trust Hank.
Even though my parents rarely cared about me, they would always do the biggest background on the person. Even the slightest thing that they didn't like, they would give them the boot. They would also hire private detectives to follow the person for a couple weeks before they hired them. That's why they always did the interviews so early. They need the couple weeks to follow them around and see what they are doing. But they only did it so the person wouldn't steal anything or ruin their reputation.
So if my parents hired Hank, then I trust Hank.
"This is your room." I said as I opened the double doors.
"Thank you so much Ms. Banks." Hank smiled as he carried in his bags and set them on the chair.
I waved him off. "No need to thank me. You're gonna be living here. You have you own bathroom. Then there is your walk-in closet. You have your own TV as well. And a personal little mini fridge."
"I-I can't accept all this Ms. Banks." Hank said worried.

"Nonsense." I laughed. "You're doing stuff for me, so I'm doing stuff for you. Feel free to decorate the room however you would like."
"Thank you Ms. Banks." He said softly.
"No problem. My room is down the hall. Last door on your left." I said before smiling one last time and leaving.
I guess this is nice of my parents. But the last thing that I would expect them to do is send a butler.
I walked to my bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush.
Damn. Where hell is my toothpaste?
I groaned as I realized that I left it in the guest bedroom.
More specifically, Hank's room.
I walked out of my bathroom and down the hall to Hank's room.
I went to knock but I heard hushed voices.
Probably on his phone or something.
"Hey Hank?" I called out as I knocked on the door.
"Coming Ms. Banks." Hank said quickly.
Um okay.
What's with the quick response?
A little bit later Hank opened the door.
"Yes Ms. Banks?" He asked.
"Hey. Um I think I left an extra thing of toothpaste in your bathroom. Can you please check for me?" I asked shyly.
He chuckled. "Of course."
I waited patiently as he walked to his bathroom.
He came back and handed me a tube of toothpaste. "Here you are Ms. Banks."
I sighed in relief. "Oh my gosh. Thank you so much."
He laughed and nodded. "No problem."
"I'll see you in the morning Hank."
"Goodnight Ms. Banks." Hank waved.
"Goodnight." I said waving back.
Hmm...I like him.

"That was stupid." Nolan laughed. "She's gonna hate you."
I sighed as I walked back to my hummer. "I know. But I don't feel bad. I just saved my mate from dating an asshole."
"How do you know he is an asshole?" Cooper asked with that stupid little smirk.
"I don't. But he could have been." I laughed.
"You are unbelievable." Nolan laughed shaking his head.
I shrugged. "Now. I need to get her a body guard."
"Who?" Nolan asked.
"Hank. He's my most trusted guard. And he's really intimidating." I laughed. "Plus. He has been learning how to cook and clean from the moms in the pack ever since I found out Jack was my mate."
"Why does he need to learn that?" Cooper asked.
"Well her family is fucking rich as hell. I'm having Hank pose as a butler." I laughed.
"This is gonna be interesting." Cooper laughed.
I nodded.
It will be.

"How is it Hank?" I asked as I walked up to his window after he opened it.
"Good alpha." He said softly so Jack wouldn't hear. "She's really nice."
"Yes she is." I smiled lovingly.
"I'm glad she is my Luna." Hank smiled. "My wolf loves her already."
"Mine too." Nolan laughed. "She is pretty cool."
"You got everything handled?" I asked Hank.
He nodded. "Yes I do alpha. The moms at the pack taught me everything that I need to know. So I know how to cook some things from scratch. And I got the whole cleaning method down. Your mother got a heart attack when I cleaned a table wrong."
I laughed. "That sounds like my mom. But I'm glad that you got everything under control. I'm sorry for keeping you away from your mate and daughter."
Hank waved me off. "It's okay. They understand and I still get to see them a lot with doing this. And I get to be the Luna's guard. That is such an honor alpha."
I smiled proudly at him. I'm glad he is happy with this.
"I'm glad. I was a little worried you wouldn't like this." I admitted.
Hank looked at me shocked. "Why would you think that alpha? It's the Luna. I was honored when you asked me to be her guard."
I sighed in relief. "Thank you Hank."
"Hey Hank?" I heard Jack ask from behind his closed door.
"Coming Ms. Banks." Hank yelled back quickly. "I got to go alpha. I'll keep you posted."
I nodded. "Thank you. And please Hank. Please keep her safe."
Hank nodded and smiled. "Of course alpha. Anything for you and the Luna."
I ran back to the forest.
"You really love her, don't you?" Nolan asked as we ran back to the pack house.
I nodded. "I do. Ever since I saw her in the clinic. She's been on my mind every second of the day."

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

All World Online
Damien Close, age 19, becomes a quadriplegic after an unfortunate car accident, losing all function of his body from the neck down. With his parents in shock and his best friend suffering from unbearable guilt, Damien finds himself without much support. Being unable to even take his own life, Damien struggles to get past each day, looking for something to live for. With every passing day, Damien becomes more solemn and impassive. Three months later, Damien has almost given up, but to his surprise something unexpected happens. He is given the chance of a lifetime; to take part in a study focused on researching the effects of VR games on quadriplegic patients. Authors Note: If you find that the dialogue from the prologue to chapter 5 seem to be not that smooth, I apologize for that, it was my first time writing a fanfic so the dialogue was not in a format that is ideal. However, due to reader comments and some research I will try to attempt to improve the dialogue from chapter 6 and onwards. I may or may not come back to edit the first few chapters since I would have to rewrite most of it and I would rather spend that time writing out more of the story.
