Chapter 9
Bradley had told them to not make much noise as we were sleeping, but I could hear them whispering.
"We were nearly too late. Just behind the choir hall she was surrounded by them." I recognised Tom's voice.
"And then we attacked those creepy monster things just in time. If we were any later, she'd have been dead," Josh added, almost excitedly like he was in a video game.
"Why's she covered in blood? Is she wounded?" Bradley spoke calmly.
"No it's from us when we were stabbing the zombies," Lewis said. I could just imagine the unimpressed looks on Bradley and Tom's faces.
"Is she unconscious?" Bradley asked.
"No, she fell asleep probably from all the stress," Tom yawned, "can we discuss this tomorrow? I need sleep too,"
I was the first to wake up. It was about 6.30 as the sky was a fairly light blue. The sun was creeping through the small window, but the room was still quite dark.
Faye was a few steps away from me, in a crouched position trying to keep herself warm. I lay my coat over her as I didn't need it now. Lauren was still by the radiator, sleeping like a baby. Bradley was sitting up straight, but his eyes were closed, and Tom, Lewis and Josh were all stretched out all over the place.
However it was still unclear who the girl they rescued last night was. She was lying with her back towards me, but I saw she had reddish brown hair.
I tiptoed over to our stash of food and rummaged around trying to find a snack to eat. "Morning," I heard a voice say. It was Bradley who had actually been awake the whole time. I greeted him back.

"Could you chuck me an apple please?" He asked, his voice kind of sleepy.
"Here," I said, throwing it to him. I found some bread for myself.
"Do you know who she is?" Bradley questioned pointing to the girl. I wandered over to see her face.
"Oh my god, yes I do," I said in disbelief. I crouched down next to Bradley, "Her name's Tori Gould," I lowered my voice, as I realised there was an echo. "What was she doing out alone?"
"God knows," Bradley answered.
Gradually everyone began waking up. Tom was the last to get up, which didn't surprise me, as he had a long day yesterday.
Tori was sitting against a cubicle door drinking water. She was so grateful to Tom, Lewis and Josh who saved her life, and everyone else for letting her stay with us.
"Hey Tori, how come you were in trouble last night?" Bradley asked, curiously. She coughed and then replied.
"I had been hiding in the choir hall for a few hours. I thought the coast was clear, but obviously not. They just appeared and starting attacking me." She took a sip of water.
"Did they hurt you?"
She shook her head.
"Then why have you covered one arm but not the other?" Bradley questioned.
"Bradley," Tom hissed.
"I'm cold," Tori replied. It was very unconvincing. I could tell she was hiding something.
"Right," he said. There was a few seconds silence. "Then why haven't you rolled your other sleeve down?"
"Bradley," Tom said again, louder.
"Fine," Bradley replied. I started to talk to Faye, trying not to make everything awkward in here.
Next thing I knew, Bradley was running across the room and then snatching the coat off Tori. She shrieked and then her eyes went watery when she saw the disgust on his face.

Touch O' Luck (The Old Realms)
A young provincial thief of no particular renown has his life of crime changed in a day. He ‘stumbles’ upon a huge pile of gold for starters and soon after a dead man carrying a letter of 'royal' interest. Literally. While at it he ‘earns’ a title of sorts, along the promise of a life out of the gutter. Before he can properly appreciate the dramatic turn of his fortunes, he’s drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that threatens to embroil two continents in a devastating war. The whole affair seems to cry out for a gallant hero of old, or failing that a cunning diplomat, but he’s neither. Perhaps a lying scoundrel, which our lad definitely is, would have to suffice. He does ‘acquire’ a dagger that knows a dead language after all and that must count for something. The Old Realms series: Touch O' Luck (Finished) Lure O' War (Ongoing) Wings O' Fate First chapters will be uploaded immediately. After that there will be updates every 3-5 days. Cover artwork by @IntheBlackveil All tags are relevant but most chapters are not too extreme. Fair warning dear reader, this is an 'unfiltered' story, sometimes sweet, others bitter, touching some heavy subjects or problems, like crime, war, betrayal, pride, politics, revenge etc set in a Epic Fantasy backdrop with shades of Grimdark. In its heart of hearts though, it is an adventure.

It serves mostly as a template for translation. Release Date will be once a week at least. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ollowyn’s Leben begann nicht wie jedes andere. Geboren mit schlohweißem Haar wurde er gemäß alter Traditionen als Neugeborenes im Wald ausgesetzt. Dem Willen der Götter überlassen wartete das hilflose Kind auf den Tod. Doch die Götter zeigten Erbarmen. Ein Wolfswelpe, kaum älter als einige Tage, stolperte verirrt über Ollowyn. Halb erfroren und tief müde kauerte es sich an seinen warmen Körper. Als es nur Stunden später von seiner Mutter gefunden wurde, roch Ollowyn bereits wie einer der ihren. Adoptiert und umsorgt wuchs Ollowyn unter Wölfen auf. Er lernte nach den Regeln des Rudels zu leben, und kämpfte stets darum zu überleben. Mit den Jahren wurde er stärker als seine Brüder und Schwestern, jagte mit anderen Mitteln. Doch trotz tiefer Liebe für seine Familie, stellte er mehr und mehr fest anders zu sein. Er besaß kein Fell, keine Klauen und so sehr er es auch versuchte, seine Reißzähne würden nie Beute schlagen. Was machte ihn anders? Der Drang nach Antworten wuchs mit jedem Tag, bis er im Alter von sieben Jahren schließlich aufbrach um Antworten zu suchen. Doch nach tagelanger Suche und durchdringenden Hunger brach er schließlich auf einer Straße zusammen...

Life as a solo gamer
Authors Comment: Hello guys, I am bilingual, sorry if there is bad grammar or it just doesn't make sense or something along the lines. If there are any mistakes (which I know there will be) please tell me even if it's just a minor one. Thank you. Jake was just a normal high school student who plays games and reads manga/novels, he doesn't like to go outside that much and he's a little socially awkward. On one day Jake was just reading a novel and he mumbled ''Status''.
