Lisa's POV
I woke up to the sound of a knock on my door so I sit up when the door opens a bit and Kuma went in with a tiny party hat on his head; he immediately jump on my bed and the door closed. I furrow my brows and grab Kuma, I look at the thing hanging on his neck which is a bib, and words that say 'it's 27th today whether you like it or not' so I got confused and put Kuma down. I walk towards my bathroom to do my morning routines before walking out with Kuma. Once we're downstairs I walk towards the kitchen and saw a lot of food on the counter while Jennie's still cooking something.
"Morning" she says without looking at me so I just greeted her back and scratch the back of my head "happy birthday" she said turning around to put another pot on the counter
"My birthday was yesterday" I said making her groan as she rolls her eyes
"Dumbass, don't you know how to read? It's 27th now" she said turning around again to clean up before facing me.
"What are these? " I asked looking at her
"Foods can't you see? " she fired back then she cleared her throat and went out and when she comes back almost everyone from the security team is here even Mr. Kang. "Let's eat" she said in a monotone voice but everyone started greeting me a happy birthday making me smile.
"Sit beside me" Jennie said making my eyes widened and she just glared at me so I nodded and walk towards her side to take a sit. I looked at the food and widened my eyes once again looking at Jennie "what? " she asked "don't you like it? " and her face clearly shows that she's quite nervous that I might not like it so I mumble a quiet 'I love it' and looked at every Thai dishes around the table.

"Did you cook all of these? " I asked looking back at her but Mr. Kang speak up so I turn my head towards him
"She called a Thai chef at 3 am to help her and teach her every famous Thai dishes" Mr. Kang said so I look back at Jennie and she just avoided my gaze but I leaned over to hug her and surprisingly she didn't push me back but she just stayed like that
"Thank you, Jennie Kim, I haven't had any Thai foods since then " I said and pulled back to smile at her and she didn't know what to do so she just nodded at me and we all started eating and I might've eaten too much cause these are great and I missed Thai foods.

"Get ready. We're leaving in an hour" she said so I just rushed up to my bedroom. I took a shower and put casual clothes on. When I went out Mr. Kang lead me down to the parking lot where Jennie's already inside.
"Jennie Kim where are we going? " I asked so she turned her head towards me and put it back towards her phone making me scoff "ya! I'm asking Jennie Kim" I said and she did the same thing making me groan and I didn't hear it wrong but I just heard her chuckle right beside me.

It took a couple of hours before we arrive right beside a beach
"Are we gonna swim Jennie Kim? " I asked while we're walking
"Are you dumb? It's too cold today" she said
"Then why are we on a beach? " I asked and she just brushes me off and leads me to a pretty fancy yacht. Well, I'm not that shocked cause Jennie Kim's rich.
"Lisa" she said sitting on a lounge chair in front of the yacht "here" she said and gave me a box when I sit down right next to her "I still have some gifts left for you but that's the first one" she said so I open up the box and saw a camera inside making my eyes go wide

"No way! " I squealed and I heard her chuckle once again. "This is so beautiful Jennie Kim...But isn't it too expensive? " I asked looking at her
"I won't get poor just because of a camera" she said looking ahead while putting her sunglasses on. She stayed like that while I took a couple of pictures around. I stood up a couple of times to go around the yacht just taking some pictures while some security team stood still in their positions not minding me.
"Lisa come here" I heard Jennie said so I walk towards her and saw that she's at the back of the yacht already with some guards around. I walk towards them and my eyes widened again for the nth time today
"Jennie Kim look!! " I squealed and pointed the dolphins right in front of us
I can't help but be mesmerized by several dolphins around the yacht and I can't help taking pictures of everything. We take pictures for a couple of hours before the captain of the yacht decided to go back to the land.
I'm now resting right next to Jennie at the back of the yacht just watching the ocean right in front of us.
"Jennie Kim" I said still looking ahead while she just hummed in response for me to continue "why did we go in the ocean when we can just see dolphins in an aquarium"
"Do you know that you're paying the aquarium to train and keep the freedom of the water creatures there?" She said making me look at her
"What do you mean? " I asked making her look at me as well
"I forgot that you're really dumb" she said making me pout but she put her gaze back on the ocean "we can go to an aquarium but I don't want to. I'd rather pay much more money to see the dolphins out freely on the sea" she said pausing for a bit "didn't you think of how much the creatures in the aquarium suffer.. I mean not because they are being mistreated but because they don't have the freedom like the other fishes out on the sea" she said making me think as I nod. She's really smart
"But thank you for taking me out Jennie Kim" I said still looking at her but I saw how her eyes rolled back a bit not being rude or anything but because she might've felt unwell "are you alright? " I asked holding her back a bit and she just nodded but she put her palm on her head making me more worried so I scoot closer to her "Jennie Kim what's wrong? " I asked once again
"I'm just having seasickness," she said, we've been on the yacht for a couple of hours already... Maybe that's why
"You didn't tell me you have seasickness... We should've just stayed at home " I said making her look at me
"Don't be dumb Lisa... I won't die because of seasickness. And it's your birthday so I want you to be happy " she said making me smile but I tried hiding it and stopped my heart from pumping too much.
"Rest here Jennie Kim" I said patting my shoulders but she immediately rolls her eyes and this time in a rude way "ya Jennie Kim! I'll just feel bad if you won't" I said and this time she didn't argue and put her head on my shoulder while I put my arm around her.

8 323Level One Chef
Being an adventurer sucked. And so Harper Emerson decided he needed a do-over. Fleeing from his previous life (and the debts that came along with it), Harper foucuses on setting up shop as a chef at an eatery in the "quaint" town of Mystic Falls. It's a total sty, but he's willing to call it home. However, his idealized dream of becoming a restaurateur is plauged by so many issues it'll be amazing if he ever gets the damn place opened. Especially when his creditor comes collecting. This is a slice-of-life, light crafting LitRPG that focuses on building and establishing the eatery, designing recipes, and cooking meals... as well as Harper's growth as a person. A warning: Harper sometimes has Big Brain ideas, and while he's quick to call himself an idiot, they are far from stupid. Just keep reading. Participant in the Royal Road Wriathon challenge.
8 297Saint's Supporter
Dumped into a world by myself, set up with a class that requires others to excel with just over a week to prepare for a fight with a literal god. This is just another betrayal to add to the list. I won't stop until I find the person who put me in this situation, along with my friend who I dragged into this mess. Transferring to another world and gaining special powers is a dream for some, but if they were dropped into my shoes... they'd probably give up. But I won't. This story has the following elements: Male MC Light RPG mechanics (no in-story stat tables) Non-standard class for the MC Moderate violence A mix of solo fights and group battles with a balance of tactics, skill and ability usage If you're looking for the below, you may be disappointed: Instantly overpowered MC (no prior skills in combat, every bit of growth is earned) Female MC (duh) Explicit sex (may be referenced, but no NSFW chapters) Health bars (damage taken and given reflects reality) Harem Gore and ultra-violence **This story is a First Draft, changes may take place during the process. Three chapters per week at minimum.** **So, this is set up as a GameLit transported to a new world story initially, but it focuses on how such a system would work in real life. There are levels, abilities and mana pools, but damage and health are realistic and combat is fast and frantic. I think that is an interesting mix. If you have any questions, just ask in the comments. I'm always happy to discuss anything in relation to the story.**

I hope you all enjoyed the novel and the adventure it took you on. I have a second one in the works, but progress has been slow on that front considering all that is going on in the world today and the nature of my work. I'll be posting chapters from that one in the coming months (with any luck). If you enjoyed this novel please leave a review as I'm always eager to read a critique of my work to improve my writing. - Best regards in these trying times, M.I. O'Flaherty
