《GinMado - Love Can Hurt》Chapter 4 - Cold Shoulder
Advertisement
A/N:Hi guys!^^My brain is good to me these days so I can say that you will see more plot twists and more of the....story xD
By the way for people who don't know for the expression cold shoulder,it's ignoring someone and...not giving a fuck about him/her...
Enjoy :)
----------------------------------------------------------
Gingka woke up.
Warm sunlight played in his red hair and river's waves ware dancing in his golden-brown eyes that were half open...
'Just few days more,Gingka, and he'll disappear...If Madoka doesn't suddenly decide to go back with him! If she REALLY decides that...I surely will confess all I can! I don't care what anyone's gonna say about that.'
Gingka thought, feeling sharp pain in his forehead.
'What the hell now? I can't live one stupid day without a headache!?'
Gingka completely freaked out. Who wouldn't? Every hope in his heart disappeared. There's nothing he can do about it.
He stood up and went for a morning walk. A person he was waiting for was in front of him now.
,,Hey Gingka!"It was greenheaded boy with yellow shirt and very wide smile plastered on his face.
,,Kenta. What's up."Gingka tried to act cold to hide everything he had going on in his head.
'It's not Kentas fault so he doesn't have to worry about my issues...I know that talking with someone like him can cheer you up always...'
,,Gingka what's wrong? Tell me everything that happened!"Kenta said standing next to Gingka who stopped walking and stared at Kenta. His eyes filled with tears and he tried to hold them back.
,,God, what happened Gingka?"Kenta said nervously.
,,I...long story"Gingka said turning his head in opposite direction and hoped that it will be enough for Kenta's ears. But it wasn't.

,,I'm here to listen to your stories, probs, issues...If you really think you can ignore me, I will prove you wrong! First, look at my face. Second, come sit with me on the bench and tell me every single thing that happened after you left my house. And I'm not gonna take no for an answer!"Cheerful boy turned into a serious man that made Gingka listen to him without any word of protest.
,,I guess that I have no reason to keep on living! I became #1 blader, legendary blader, owner of the strongest bey on Earth...I even became popular, which I didn't want to. But I don't have a thing that should make me worth of all of this, love. I might have had it, but I messed up every stupid chance I had and now...When I lost love, I lost everything. My part in this world actually was to save it. It hurts Kenta! Nemesis was a joke in comparison with this. Every wound I had is healed. This wound never won't!"Gingka said, after telling him a whole thing about Aleksei and stuff he had done.
Kenta just widened his eyes and in silence, he hugged Gingka strongly. Gingka hugged him back...Hug made the situation better. For now.
They were sitting and talking about abilities Gingka had and what to do next. Kenta was on Gingka's side although he actually didn't meet Aleksei. Every single thing he's done can prove that he's a bad guy...Not even Yuu could stand him.
Madoka was in her bed crying quietly.
'What is wrong with him?! What is wrong with me?! Yes,he asked me to promise him that, but I shouldn't do that! I had to be strong and still and fight to the end...Like Gingka does always...I can't stop thinking about him! But it's my fault and I can't do anything to change it now. Promise is a promise...More important is that I know what to do now!'she was getting up from her bed while smile appeared on her face.

She dressed up and went to the bathroom. In the mirror she saw her face was red and her eyes puffy. She's done everything she could to make it look like she didn't cry. After the breakfast, she went to find Gingka and tell him everything.
She was searching and searching, but redhead seemed to be gone forever.
Suddenly, she saw Kenta and Gingka on the bench.
,,Guuuuys!I'm here!"Madoka yelled happily and waved to them. But only Kenta waved back. Gingka did not seem to be interested in her.
'Weird...Why isn't Gingka waving to Madoka?'Kenta was confused.Totaly.
'I want you to feel what I felt when you let me down, when you didn't care about me or my needs and when you were too busy so you didn't see your friend needed help...Who am I kidding!?She won't even notice'He thought. Changing his attitude an well, his whole personality, was tough.
,,Gingka, Madoka came!"Kenta said to him. Gingka had calm and expressionless face that showed no emotions, but inside...his heart raced so fast...But plan is a plan and he'll stick to it.
,,I know."Was only thing he said. Madoka came closer to two friends.
,,I think I have a problem...And it's Aleksei!"She said with worried voice.
,,Sit along with us and tell us everything!"Kenta said while Gingka stood cold.She made her way and sat in the middle of them. Gingka's heart has gone crazy.
'Are you kidding me?!I'm trying to not be in love here!'He thought. Madoka told them her story. Gingka groaned a little bit when he heard about her promise to Aleksei. It hurt him. He squeezed his fists.
,,Gingka what's wrong with you? You didn't say any single word the whole time!"Madoka said. Kenta agreed to her opinion.
,,Yeah, tell us if there's something we should know!"Gingka stayed quiet, still staring at the grass. A long silence made an awkward atmosphere around three of them.
,,Gingka? Gingka?"Madoka called his name. He didn't move or turn his head. He just blinked and turned his glare to her. That was glare full of angst, pain and will for revenge. Glare that he never had.
,,G-Gingka???"Madoka gasped.This wasn't Gingka Hagane.
,,Gingka what is wrong with you?Tell me"She begged him placing her hand on his shoulder, but he just pulled away from it and looked at her.
,,It's too late for that."He said and stood up slowly without any word. He turned and left.
,,Gingka, wait!"Madoka yelled as she stood up in order to stop him.
,,Stay where you are. Don't you follow me. We are done."He said while his shadow slowly disappeared along with him and his golden-brown eyes that were full of tears.
Madoka was crying on Kentas shoulder.He was telling her that it's ok,that everything will be just fine.
,,But why Kenta?! Why is he angry with me?!What have I done?"Madoka was asking, sobbing quietly after every sentence.
,,I don't know"Kenta lied. Lying to her may just make things more complicated, but not lying would make him traitor in Gingka's eyes.
Everything was in chaos.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

Outlook: The Stars (Consciousness Unbound Book 1)
The year is 2152. Rune Yahui is a nineteen-year-old failure, not having gained entrance to college or the military, with no significant prospects in life. Even worse, Rune is the poorest of the poor, hailing from the mega-slums of New Southern Chicago, the lowest pit of America. In a desperate last-ditch attempt to gain a future more lustrous than toiling the rest of his days away in abhorrent conditions in one of the near sweat-shop level factories that dot the megapolis, Rune signs up for the Virtual Citizen program, a program to cull the excessive world population by transferring just their brains into a video game. In a stroke of rare luck, Rune is admitted into the program and happily submits himself to the surgery and digitization process. Unfortunately for him, he wakes up several hundred years later than he expected... or does he? **Author's Note** This isn't a type of story typical to RRL. You may have noticed LitRPG in the tags, but it's a relatively minor element in the story until later. You may also notice Slice of Life is in the tags. This story is going to be slow and there won't be any power tripping until way later if at all. The focus will be on character development. That doesn't mean I won't still have action/excitement, however. I encourage you to give the story a try. Maybe it will be your thing, maybe it won't. Thanks for even taking the time to read this, and if you do give my fiction a try, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't, well, I hope you find something that you do enjoy. Happy reading!

Automata Annex
This Fiction is intended as a suppliment to my main title "I was reborn into a fantasy world as a magic robot?! Automata Prime". This is the appendix that would normally go at the END of the book. I will be updating the entries as new information is revealed in the story and linking back here from the author notes. Here we'll explore the world that I've crafted in the book, learn new things about the characters, and get a deeper understanding of how magic works. Think of it as an Automata Wiki.

Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich. He can't afford to have his brain uploaded like those elite customers, but maybe he can turn a profit out of the game instead of just playing it. Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long. I'd appreciate feedback to help write a much longer version! Updates every few days. Cover art from game-icons.net, by Lorc, CC-BY. Update! This story was originally called "Gleaners' Guild". It came out on Amazon under the name "Crafter's Passion" and has many reviews there, thanks in part to the support of RR readers like you. Thanks! It even has a sequel, "Crafter's Heart".
