“Welcome to the hotel, sir and ma’am. He said looking at Jacob then me. I just nod at him.
While Jacob was talking to that man, who I guess is the manager, I started admiring the hotel. I’ve never came in such a big one before. Even though I only came to hotels for work, never once in my life I ever saw such a big one. Big was an understatement, I would say it was HUGE. There were a lot of lights in the hall causing the room to shine. The walls were cream and the ceiling was white with big chandeliers hanging. At the middle of the room, there was a big staircase leading to I don’t know where. People could sit on the red sofas which were available and it had gold poles. This hotel is so…
“Mia what are you doing?” He murmured to me. I was interrupted by the famous Jacob.
“What?” I snapped at him.
He looked down and I followed his gaze. I was holding his hand.
“Oh I'm sorry. I guess I was so excited.” I told him while removing my hand.
His lips turned into a smirk showing that he was amused by my childish act but he said nothing and continued to talk to the manager.
“Stupid Jacob,” I murmured under my breath.
“Did you say something?” He turned and asked me.
My eyes widened with fear and I stuttered while answering him:
“Uh...uh no” I denied.

He again continued to talk with the manager and then he took out his wallet and took out a card which I guess is his credit card.
At last, I thought.
“Mia, we have some problem.” Jacob told me. I waited for him to elaborate.
“There's only one room which is available and....”
“What? I won't share a room with you!”
He took a step forward and said with that stupid smirk on his face:
“You want to share the room with me?”
I took a step back and replied with disgust: “No”.
“Great! As there is only one room, the manager has offered us to rent the penthouse as it is empty. And I guess it is more practical than to share the room. What say?”
I put my finger on my chin and pretended to think. I did that to annoy him and I think I succeeded as he said in an annoying voice:
“C'mon Mia, what's there to think?”
“Okay then”, I replied.
The manager came back with Jacob's credit card and our key cards; one for me and the other one for Jacob. I did not even notice him leaving.
“Enjoy your stay in our hotel,” He said to us.
“We said ‘thanks’ and went in the direction of the private elevator.
We went in and Jacob pressed the button of the penthouse. And we rode silently. The lift was a transparent one.
“You know, you can see people but they can’t see you.” Jacob said.
“False.” I said back to him.
“Try waving at this man. He is looking at the lift right now.” He said before gesturing to a man on the stairs next us.
I waved at him and the man waved back at me. OMG! I was right. We can see each other. Jacob’s laughter made me turn to him and I glared at him. How dare he?

“Stupid why did I believe you? I should have known.” I said hitting him on his shoulder.
“Oh my god it was so funny. I didn’t think you would actually do it.” He said still laughing at my stupidity.
I looked back at the man and saw that he was still looking at our direction except that we were a bit far away from him.
“It’s okay at least the man was sexy.” I said gesturing to the man. This stopped Jacob’s laughter and he just stood there looking at the buttons of the lift. When the lift stopped, Jacob went in front of the door and I followed behind quietly thinking about what was Jacob’s problem. Jacob took out his key card and opened the door for us.
“Are you sure you are in the right room?” I asked him after seeing my surrounding.
“Yes Mia; go inside, and choose whichever room you want. I'll be right back.” He said before going away.
“Okay.” I said rubbing my hands together. “This would be fun.”
I examined each and every room and finally I chose the blue one. The walls were painted in four different types of blue. There was a king-sized bed in the middle with gold pillows; my favorite. The curtains were also gold with a small lace of blue at the bottom. There was a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom.
Lovely!
I opened my suitcase and swore when I saw the clothes that Jordan bought for me. Is that girl mad? Doesn’t she know what to pack for a business woman going on a business trip? How could she? She packed short shorts, sandals, heels, flip flops, dresses. I opened another suitcase; the small one. OMG! There were bras, panties, bikinis not to forget nighties, all kind of them. But they are very provocative. I thought.
I found a note in one of the make-up bags.
Dear Mia,
I know you have opened your suitcase and saw your clothes. C'mon don't be angry.
I laugh at this. She knows me so well. I continued to read her letter.
Anyway have fun but don't make me an aunty. I'm too young.
I was now rolling on the floor laughing, literally.
There's a small packet in your bag left side. Don't forget to use them. Byes see you. Oh call me.
Love XOXO
Jordan.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Author Ivy McLaughlan is down on her luck. Losing her status of bestseller, she is disowned by her wealthy family and forced to take refuge in a dilapidated apartment in a city far from home. There, she meets Satsuya Harada, the most powerful Uni alive...who works as a bartender and barista. Unwittingly entangled in a war for the use of Satsuya’s abilities, Ivy uncovers not only the secrets behind the Uni, but the secrets behind her own life.
