《BE ALRIGHT》28

Jackson's POV
I can see how mad Lisa is so I escorted her out of the penthouse and drive us towards the nearest tent bar which is actually around most of the places here in Korea. I let her drink as much as she wanted. When she's all drunk I leave a couple of money on the table and picked up Lisa.
I decided to let her stay in my penthouse... I don't go here often since it's so quiet in here so I mostly stay at the villa with dad and Jennie's mom. I put Lisa down on the guest room's bed and removed her shoes. I then walk downstairs to grab water and medicine for headache so if she'll wake up tomorrow she can drink something for her hangover.
I walk upstairs and put the medicine and the water down on the side table and look over at Lisa who still has the red puffy eyes from crying too much while she's drinking. I pull her covers upwards so it can keep her warm. I stopped my gaze at her face and stare at her for I don't know how long
"It's funny that we're all just chasing one another here" I said with a pain in my heart making me close my eyes for a bit before walking out of the room.

Lisa's POV
"Are you sure about this? " Jackson asked while he's driving towards their villa so I just nodded and keep my gaze on the window.
I decided earlier while having breakfast with Jackson that I'll quit my job. I don't know where will I get the money to pay for the debts but it kills me more being around Jennie each day.
"Jackson, Lisa... What are you doing here? " his dad says while Jackson walks towards them to greet both his dad and Jennie's mom. I bowed down to greet them both as I clear my throat

"I want to quit" I said firmly but I still have respect for Jennie's parents. Jennie's dad turns to look at Jackson raising his brows like asking if Jackson knows anything about this
"Give me a reason dear" He says and gestures for us to go in so we all walk inside to their living room and one guard approached Jennie's dad then he whispered something towards him and he immediately nodded while running away.
I sit down on the couch next to Jackson while both Jennie's parents are in front of us. Jennie's dad doesn't have a specific expression on his face while you can see the concern roaming around her mom's face.
"So about you quitting... What is it about? " he asks in the calmest voice
"I just don't think I can do it anymore... Please let me do this. I'm pretty sure it's not a big deal for Jennie " I said putting my hands together since I can't help but feel nervous about this.
"Is it something that you don't like? Or is it something that Jennie does that makes you want to quit? " he asked making me shake my head
"It's a personal reason, sir... So please I'm begging you" I said in the most pleading way... He stayed on his seat with his eyes on me like he's thinking and it is the most awkward silence I've ever experienced in my life. I look over at Jackson and he just patted my back softly to calm me down.
"I invited Jennie over--"
"What?! " I said with wide eyes and a fuming Jennie walks in and didn't even bother greeting her parents but she immediately walks towards me taking my hand to pull me
"Give us some time" she says dragging me out to their backyard.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?!" She yelled out snapping her head towards me as I just roam my eyes around avoiding her glare
"I'm quitting " I said nonchalantly making her scoff as she runs her hand on her hair taking a full grasp of it
"
You don't make any sense Lisa! You're such a coward " she says making me look at her "you're such a coward for quitting just because of the damn confession you did last night! " she yelled out once again like it's not a big deal making me laugh like I'm some kind of a fool here "we can just forget about it if that's what you want it's just a stupid confession anyway" she said and by that my face grew cold. My hands started shaking and it gets hard to breathe
"Is it just a stupid confession for you?" I said in the calmest way which is not the best version of me. She stayed silent and look at my face like she knows that she said something extremely wrong "I'm quitting" I said once again
"No" she said firmly
"Why? "
"Cause... You owe me a lot of things" she said like she's so unsure of it
"Like everything that you bought for me? Okay sure.. I'll give them all back I'll also pay those things that I need to pay" I said
"You can't pay them. You don't have the money so don't you dare quit Lalisa" she said like she knows what she's doing
"I'm gonna go get a fucking job so I'm quitting!"
"You can't quit! " she said more annoyed now than she was earlier
"Give me a fucking reason Jennie and not just something about your damn money! " I yelled at her
"You just can't" she said looking down on the ground when Jackson and their parents run out to check for the both of us.
"Lisa" her dad says making me look at him
"Please give Jennie a few more months and I will be the one who'll let you leave"

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.

Sturmblitz Kunst: Becoming a Dissident for Martial Arts
"I don't care what you read in some old, dusty tome. You can spend decades chasing an outmoded cultivation method that'll probably lead to a faux-breakthrough trap from the Emperor that turns you into a walking impurity tumor, or you can give me a couple months and I'll teach you how to punch through someone's head." - Zelsys "Sevenfold Storm-conqueror" Newman, Founder of the Newman Family The world at large has just begun its recovery from the nigh-apocalyptic War of Fog. Catastrophic environmental damage and gaping power vacuums stir the cogs of history into motion in the absence of open war, eternally greased by the blood and sweat of ambition. A small duchy in the North of the country now stands at the precipice of upheaval as the burgeoning powers of the new era clash within its borders... Meanwhile, as the survivor of a now-extinct cultivator family struggles for survival in a world that cares not about his social status, the very embodiment of his escapist coping mechanisms forces him to pursue the fantasies of self-determination he had never dared act upon.

Monsters as Men(A good v evil story based on reincarnation in different worlds)
The Monsters have taken over the universe. With their corrupting system behind them, which they use equally for power and recruitment, no one can compare to their strength. Good has been nearly eradicated, with its god slain, and the one who picked up its Mantle tempted to evil. In contrast, the god of Evil is growing, getting stronger. Only one person can defend the world against this threat. This is the tale of the Bluejay. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), Spirit(for Spirit Magic), and Dominion(for Aura). This is very much a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcome. This is set in the same world as my other story, Spirits of Eternity. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
