Marisol's POV- April 2018
"Hi boy" I greeted as I closed and locked the front door.
I reset the alarm and made my way down the hallway. Dad was seated in his usual spot on the couch.
"Hey" I said getting his attention.
He paused his TV show and smiled at me.
"Hello, darling"
"Did you just wake up?" I asked.
Dad still had bed hair.
"I guess you can say that"
"Did you eat already?" I questioned.
"Yes"
"And what did you eat?" I wondered.
"I made myself a breakfast burrito"
He gestured at the plate on the coffee table.
"Dad, we have coasters" I complained as I noticed his mug was placed on top of the plate.
"I didn't stain the coffee table"
I shook my head at him.
"So I'm headed to James' place in about a half hour. Do you want to come or do you have plans?"
"I've got plans" I informed him.
"Do I bring you back dinner?"
"I'm actually getting sushi with Cody" I disclosed.
"Huh, you seem to be talking to him...a lot"
Dad raised an eyebrow.
"I guess I have" I noted.
"You're allowed to bring him into the house, and inside your room, I trust you two will behave"
I scrunched up my nose cause gross.
"Will I expect you home?"
Why was he asking me this? Of course, I would come home tonight.
"He seems...very interested"
"I will be home tonight" I confirmed.
"Why? Enjoy your night, you certainly deserve it"
"First off, eww" I stated.
He chuckled.
"Lucy is actually coming over, it looks like Anthony is trying to talk to her," I said.
Dad snorted.
"It took him a little over a year to realize he fucked up"
"Basically" I answered.
"If it weren't for the hockey player, she would have been a giant mess"
Ain't that the truth.
"Is she dating him?"
"They're just good friends" I responded.
"Such a shame, he seems like a good kid"
Adrian portrayed himself as a cocky guy, but he was actually pretty down to earth.

"Eric seems to like him"
"Well he did help heal his baby girls heart" I pointed out.
"Eric did not like Anthony"
"But he didn't voice how much he disliked Anthony until after they broke up," I said.
He chuckled.
"Oh he voiced it, he just made sure only the adults heard"
Interesting.
"So, are you going to get ready?"
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?" I questioned.
"You could look nicer"
"Well that's rude" I commented.
He smiled.
"Maybe pull that hair of yours out of a bun"
My hair was at an odd length where I could pull it up into a small top knot.
"You've been picking at your face, so you should put on some makeup to cover that up"
"Alright, I'm leaving," I said.
"You're beautiful, just enhance it a little bit!"
"Please never say that again," I told him as I grabbed my backpack and made my way upstair.
Once I was in my room, I got to work. Just as I finished curling my hair, I got a text from Cody telling me he was on his way.
"Come in" I called out as I heard a light knock on the door.
The door opened and dad peaked in.
"I'm going to head out. Don't worry about feeding Bugs, I fed him already"
I smiled at my dad.
"You're the best," I said thanking him.
"I know I am"
He winked.
"Anyways, enjoy your night"
I nodded.
"Have fun at James" I called out.
He laughed.
"I hate that I agreed to help him"
A couple of minutes later, I heard the alarm system reset itself. I finished getting ready and made my way downstairs. While I waited for Cody, I played a bit with Bugs who was happy for the attention. My phone interrupted our bonding time though, and he was not happy about it"
"Hello," I greeted.
"Hey, I'm outside of your house"
"Great, I'll be right out," I said.
I ended the call and grabbed my purse.

"Take care off the house," I told my pup as I reset the alarm system.
I quickly made my way out and closed the door behind me. A sports car was stalled in front of the house. Cody stepped out of the car and made his way over.
"Hey"
"Hi, you look nice" I commented as he leaned down to kiss my cheek and squeeze me.
"Thanks, you look beautiful"
I smiled as he handed me a single pink rose.
"For you"
"Thank you" I replied.
"Let me hold the door for you"
He opened the door to the passenger side, and I took that as a sign to take a seat. Once I was inside, he closed the door and made his way around. The door opened just as I composed myself. He took a seat and looked at me as he put on his seatbelt.
"Are you hungry?"
"Yes," I confirmed.
I was starving.
"How was your day?"
"Long" I admitted.
Seminars sucked because it meant I had one class for almost 3 hours, once a week. The good thing was that I did not have any 8 AM classes.
"Well you're done for the day"
"How was your day?" I asked.
"I really didn't do much"
"I'm sure it was productive" I stated.
"Not as productive as yours"
I smiled.
"What did you spend your day off doing?" I questioned.
"It was pretty boring. I went to the grocery store with Chris, and after we got back we cleaned up and organized everything"
"I'd say you had a productive day," I said.
"Then I fell asleep"
"Speaking of sleep, how'd you sleep?" I wondered.
He glanced at me before turning his attention back to driving.
"I slept well, thanks again for staying up with me"
"It was not a problem, you fell asleep pretty quick," I told him.
"I'm sorry I was a bit of a burden"
I shook my head.
"You were not" I assured him.
"It's just, it's childish that at my age I don't like being alone"
"It's not childish, I think everyone is afraid of being alone because we may not really be alone" I stated.
He nodded.
"It's why I have a dog" I stated.
He chuckled.
"We're not allowed to have pets"
Well, that sucked.
"My dad sometimes works night shifts, and he feels at ease knowing Bugs is there with me," I told him.
"A dog is not low maintenance...at all"
I shrugged.
"Just a suggestion," I said.
He slowly nodded.
"Can I ask you something"
"Sure" I answered.
"What came first, the chicken or the egg?"
"The egg was laid first" I answered.
He glanced at me.
"Explain"
"Two birds that weren't chickens created the egg, and a chicken hatched," I said.
Conversations were never boring with Cody. We got to the restaurant and were quickly seated.
"Do you just want to order a bunch of sushi, and share it?"
"Sure" I found myself saying.
Guess we were both starving because we ate everything we ordered.
"We should head out, you do have to meet up with your friend"
I had actually forgotten about that, guess I was enjoying my time.
"Let me pay for you"
I pursed my lips and slowly shook my head.
"Come on, I invited you"
That's true.
"Okay," I said agreeing.
He smiled and placed his credit card into the small little folder.
"So what time are you usually done with school?"
"I'm usually home by 4 PM, 5 PM the latest" I answered.
"But even when you're not in school, you're studying and working on assignments"
I nodded.
"That's dedication"
"Well, it's like baseball. When you're not playing a game, you're practicing or recovering from a game" I pointed out.
He slowly nodded.
"Whether you want to or realize it, you're always thinking about baseball" I stated.
"I never thought of it that way"
"You're baseball savvy," I told him.
He chuckled.
"I guess I am"
I admit, I thought Cody was a bit of a ditz when I first met him, but he was actually able to retain a lot more than baseball.
"Sorry for asking so many questions"
"It's okay, I like that you ask them. It means you're genuinely interested in whatever we talk about" I answered.

Fate of Souls
Nineteen-year-old Carter Elm awakens one morning with the arrival of the System, which shuts down modern technology and brings with it magic and beasts. With a desire to use magic, Carter begins learning it, soon setting off to enter the nearby Dungeon to complete a Quest. There, Carter meets Lucas, a wounded young man with an interest in alchemy. Together, they train to conquer the Dungeon they're trapped inside, developing a deep bond of friendship and more. When they finally manage to leave the Dungeon, the world is a changed place. Most of the population has died and survivors have banded together to form new settlements and societies. Carter and Lucas settle in to the new ways of the world, becoming adventurers like many others to protect their home and hunt what's needed. Occasionally, they even find time to go on an adventure of their own or just sit back and relax for a little while. There will be: wolfboys, catboys, fairy boys, and more, and there might even a harem of them. I haven't decided for sure if there's a harem yet or not, but I've put the tag on because it's not outside of the realm of possibility. There is also a Level reset mechanic that will come into play. This is not an OP powerfantasy. While the MC will grow strong, he won't become ridiculously powerful for an adventurer and will meet others at or above his own level of might from time to time. There will be times he struggles, fails, or needs to retreat. There is no posting schedule. Chapters will go up when I post them.
