《The Boxer and the Nerd》The Plus Sign
Advertisement
After the whole situation with Ayden, i went back upstairs to my brothers room. i stood there holding his little hand into mine watching movies.My thoughts started to kick in on everything that happen. I started to think about Ayden, i want to be with him without hurting Nico which i already did. then my thoughts went to that day and how Ayden managed to show me his true self with all his drawings. i just dont know how i lost my v card with him so fast. then again i havent gotten my period and I'm a month late already. i got up from my chair right away after that thought.
"nurse do you have pregnancy test thingys" i asked.
"i will get them for you right away" she said and i was waiting on her for five minutes until she arrive and gave me it. i ran to the bathroom right away after saying"thanks". i peed on the stick thing and i didnt want to look at it. i was frighten of what it would say. i finally had the guts so I look at it and it had a plus sign on it, so i tried again just to make sure. This time the stick was shaking until I was done and sure enough it had a plus. i threw out the sticks and grabbed my phone right away to call Arianna.
"hello" i heard a male voice said.
"hey is Arianna there" i questioned.
"Cass?" i heard the male voice.
"yea, is this Nico?" i asked.
"yup" he said
"can i talk to her?"i asked and he handed the phone over.
"whats the emergency bestie" arianna said.
"um... I'm pregnant" I muttered really fast.
"wait slow down, I didn't get nothing" she said.
"I'm pregnant" I blurted out.

"WHAT!!!" I heard Nico and Arianna said in unison.
"Am I on speaker?" I said.
"You could of told me, before you know..." She said.
"Well okay I took two pregnancy test and both of them have a plus" I said sarcastically.I heard the phone get pulled away from Arianna.
"Who's the...dad?" Nico yelled.
I stood silent cause I know what he was gonna do after I tell him.
"Ayden" he said giving the phone to Arianna and i heard a door slam.
"Nico just left" Arianna said.
"Ok... ari please don't tell Ayden" I said.
"But...okay, I'm going to the hospital right now, you want anything" she said.
"Pizza and can you bring me some clothes" I said.
"Be there in ten" she said hanging up.

Rising World
Vonn of Shieldpoint is an ambitious young inventor who, as far as his family knows, just survived a terrible accident. Really, he didn't. Instead a being known as the System has recruited the soul of a modern college student from our world, to fill in for him. Given a new life in a new body, the former human wants to make good use of it and fulfill the dreams of the one he's replacing. He's an Engineer in a world where that's a character class with explicit levels and stats. This world is just discovering the power of steam and clockwork and the occasional magic dungeon crystal, so Vonn is just in time to become a famous genius. He just needs to figure out what the gods actually want from him. (LitRPG Isekai with light but important stats, nonhuman MC. Cover art by Alexandra, https://www.deviantart.com/oktoberbeef .) This book is now available on Amazon! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B09H5CQSX5 For legal reasons, I need to hide most of the content from Royal Road for now. The version for sale is revised and expanded anyway, including a rewritten opening. If the book does well, that's encouragement to write more of it soon! Reviews are welcome too. As noted in the afterward, it's been fun and useful to share this work with all of you here as I worked on it. Update 2022/2/22: Wow, it did do well! Thanks to all who read, commented, bought, and/or spread the word. Right now I'm working on a side-story about character Selen, and posting that starting yesterday. I do plan to do a true sequel this year, yet.
8 69Syche: The Dark Element
In a modern world where the four elements (no, not those elements; don't stop reading yet) are controlled by the select few born with the gift, seventeen-year-old Joshua Rasgard is horribly, painfully normal. And that’s not changing. No really. He survives by his wit and acute knowledge of how adventures should go, unlike his younger brother Kael who would rather disintegrate his problems to ash. Together, they're on a globe spanning treasure hunt that is about to take a dark turn. While hunting for clues, Joshua decides to rescue an ex-superpowered-assassin named Gianna. Doing so puts a target on all of their backs and thrusts them into a global conflict not unrelated to the treasure hunt. The one thing Joshua knows is that he is out of his element.

8 94Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
