《My Father From Another Continent》Day 8: Driving + Day 9: Last Name: Wayne
Advertisement
Waking up, Bruce felt weirdly elated; somehow it was like he was in a good mood. The reason? He wasn't really sure ("It's because of Marinette!" "Shush, don't tell them that! He'll get embarrassed!" "I can hear the both of you.")
Sighing, he sits at his usual seat at the table, and just as he was about to take a sip of his coffee, Alfred pops into his side with a phone in hand. "You have a phone call, Master Bruce."
"A phone call?" he reaches over and takes the phone from the Englishman. "Bruce Wayne speaking."
"Hello, Mister Wayne," a female voice answers him. "This is the Gotham City Police Department and we're calling about your son speeding on a motorcycle."
"Speeding?"
"Yes," the female affirms. "And he is also sighted with a teenage girl—oh, gosh." she cuts herself off.
'A teenage girl? Jason, I swear—'
"Oh my god, it's the girl who's driving!" the female on the phone shrieks. "And they just went on top of a building!" a building?????? "They're jumping from rooftop to rooftop, oh my god!!!"
The phone call abruptly ends and Bruce is left there just staring at the dark screen, his mouth agape. He swears the if Marinette gets even a single scratch on her, he'll take away all of Jason's guns and leather jackets!
Tapping his foot repeatedly on the ground, Bruce waits impatiently for his two wayward children in the Police Station.
After a few more agonizing minutes of trying to not make a scene and not throw a tantrum like an impatient child, he hears engines revving from the outside and the doors slam open. "We're here!" Jason comes waltzing in with a worried Marinette in tow.

"Yes, it's good that you're here." he smiles at Marinette and glares at Jason. "What were you thinking?!" he practically shouts at his tallest son. "You could've put Marinette in danger!"
Jason rolls his eyes and grumbles. "I would never let anything happen to her; how could you even think that of me?"
"It's all right, Monsieur Wayne!" Marinette waves her hands and bites her lip. "It was me who forced him to go on a ride with me." she looks down and fidgets with her hands.
The brunet clicks his tongue and shakes his head. "You don't have to apologize, I had fun!" Jason smiles widely and ruffles the ravenette's hair (he kind of wants to ruffle her hair too).
"But..." she meekly looks up at him and pouts. (why is she so adorable?)
Bruce pats her head and sighs. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you." he hears Marinette let out a relieved sigh and smiles. "I'm mad at him!" he glares at Jason from the back of his daughter's head.
"Wah—but!" Marinette panics and flails her arms around.
"Calm down," Jason assures her and pats her shoulders. "I'm not really affected by that." he laughs loudly while Marinette whimpers and pouts.
Bruce lets out a sigh and shakes his head. "I heard you were the one driving," he says to Marinette. "Does that mean you have a US driver's license?" he asks her.
"Oh, yes, I do! Although, I'm going to have to renew it now," she ponders as she taps her chin and looks up at the ceiling in wonder.
"Then," he drags on. "Can I come?" he asks and points at himself with a smile.
"What?"

"I'm saying, I want to accompany you." he smiles wider. Of course, there's another reason why, but does he really have to tell her that?
"O-Okay."
"W-What is this?" Marinette looks as him and the card in her hands repeatedly.
"What do you mean? It's your driver's license." Bruce smiles at her innocently. It technically is hers, so why is she looking at him like that?
"But—! My name!" she shrieks and waves the card around.
"What about your name?" he smiles cheekily at her confused and panicked expression. How adorable!
"Name! Duchayne! Wayeng!" she babbles and walks back and forth in place.
Bruce laughs loudly and ruffles her hair. Why is her hair so soft? Don't they use the same shampoo since she lives (temporarily) in the manor now? How come they have different hair texture? "Do you not like it?"
"What? No, of course I like it! It's my driver's license," she says. Bruce could almost hear the word "obviously" coming right after.
"Then, what seems to be the problem?" he asks her with worry. Maybe she really didn't like it. Maybe he shouldn't have meddled in her business.
"Nothing! It's just that..." she looks back at the card in her hands. "Is it really okay for me to have this?" her voice quiet and unsure that it almost made Bruce feel guilty for doing such a thing.
The oldest Wayne softly smiles at her, "Of course it is. You're a Wayne, aren't you?"
The ravenette smiles as at the card and Bruce sees her fingers brush her name. "Yeah, I guess I am." her hands carefully tracing the bold letters... "Marinette Wayne".

Second Patriarch: Rise of the Liu Clan
After the death of his father, Liu Zhu must prevail over his older brother in order to become the Liu Clan's second patriarch and bring his family to glory within Yutian Country. In the process Liu Zhu will come across lucky chances, have brushes with death, and slowly expand his world beyond that of the small country he lives in. NOTE: Currently dropped for various reasons. The short version of why I dropped it is because even the shortest form of my outlining resulted in a main plot of at least 300 - 400 chapters and I messed up massively by directly adapting it from my first attempt at this, which was a choose your own adventure on another website. It did not make the jump well at all imo.

The Apocalypse Show - Dungeon Core
There were lot's of ways that people had predicted that the world would end. A few even had it partially correct. But how could they have predicted it would be a combination of the system apocalypse and aliens. Specifially aliens that wanted to create the equivlant of a TV show about the system apocalypse on Earth. Arthur woke up with a headache and the option to create a character. Most people would have gone with the safe choice and selected to stay a human. Arthur suspected that wouldn't be the safe choice in his new world. Instead he decided to see what other races were available. Eventually he decided to become a dungeon core instead. Of course being a dungeon core comes with a number of challenges. Starting with the fact that he was a giant crystal instead of having a body, managing a bunch of unintelligent minons, and most importantly the reaction of his human neighbors when they discover him. If he can overcome these challenges he may be able to enjoy some of the benefits. Such as the fact that dungeon cores are immortal and he would eventually have an entire army of dungeon minions that would obey any of his commands. Perhaps even find some female companions that are looking for a safe place during the apocalypse. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, nudity, and sexual content. This isn't something you would find in the young adult section. This does not mean that this would be rated NC-17 or X, if that is what you are looking for try lewd dungeon.

My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)
