《The only one of his kind》Chapter 52 that got me an idea

3rd pov
Nick and Hope walked out of Ric's office. Suddenly Nick stopped and that made Hope stop up too and look at him. ''why did we stop Nio?''. Nick looked up at his girlfriend and sighed. ''it was just much information for one day''.
Hope took her hand back from Nick's hand and she stepped in front of him. She took him by his chin and made him look into her eyes. ''I know Nick. No one expects you to be okay with that immediately. Just take your time handsome''. Nick smiled at Hope. ''I know beautiful. I am okay with it because I have something or rather someone that makes me feel better''. Hope fake gasped ''may I ask who that someone is?''.
Nick gave her his signature smirk ''oh, you know her pretty well. She's cool, caring, adoring and most of all very beautiful. She is someone who has always stood by my side and. Well, at least she tried to even after when I kept my distance from her. She is my best friend, my lover, my girl, my soulmate. I think you can guess who she is''. Hope raised her brows playfully. ''hm I guess Lizzie. No wait. I guess...''. Then she got cut off by Nick's lips.
It went a minute or so and the couple finally stopped. Hope smiled as they lips parted. Nick noticed and smiled himself. ''can you guess now?'', he said as he looked at the girl. She looked at him and came little more closer to him. She leaned into his ear and whispered ''is it me?'', she said in a seductive way. Nick gulped and nodded. Hope on the other hand was now the one smirking. She backed away and regained her posture. ''I guess I knew then'', she said towards the now frustrated boy.

Nick's pov
Aiii, what is this girl doing to me. I can't help it anymore. She is good at whatever she is doing. I must admit that Hope got game, but so do I.
I got my focus back on and went closer to a smirking Hope. As we were very close. Her smirk was gone, and I heard her heart ponding. Oh, so I do make her nervous too.
I smiled towards her and took my hand and caressed her cheeks. I noticed that her heart started to pound faster. ''let me ask you something Hopey. What does it mean when your heart starts to pond faster?''. ''w-w-what?'', she asked. ''oh, you know. I can hear your heartbeat and the second I touched you, it started to beat faster. So, tell me beautiful. Do I make you nervous?''.
''i-i-i...'', then she got cut off. ''Nick, Hope. There you both are'', I heard Mg say. I turned around and saw the gang standing there. I sighed then turned around back to Hope ''this isn't over beautiful''. I then took my hand from her cheek and intertwined them with hers. I looked back at the gang and gave Mg a stare.
''uh oh. Looks like Mg here, interrupted Hope and Nick here'', Raf said. ''no, you didn't'', Hope said. ''yes you did'', I said. Hope gave me a stare and I laughed a little at how she's playing to be cool, when I can hear her heartbeat still pounding. I went to her ear and whispered ''you can play and act like that, but I know by listening to your heart that you're still nervous Hopey'', then I backed away.
Hope's pov
Come on, heart stop pounding. You got it Hope. Just relax. As I started to breath a little out I felt my heart slowing a little down.
That boy may get me nervous, but I know I make him more nervous.
I looked up at Nick to seeing he was looking at me with his smirk plastered on his face. That got me an idea.
I looked at Nick then smiled at him, I then took my gaze upon the super squad. ''who's up for going to the beach?''

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

The Fate Eater
What might a man really do if he found himself reincarnated into a fantasy world as a dragon prince? How would he come to terms with his new nature, his larger-than-life family, the agendas of warring factions, and the destiny he never asked for? This is a story that intends to defy some isekai tropes, but play into others. It's mainly about exploring a rich hand-crafted world, full of its own history and mysteries. Its characters have their own lives and aspirations, and our protagonist is but a piece of the greater tapestry. This story is not about right and wrong, or good and evil. It's about a dragon-man being tested by fate, power, and time. It's about what it's like to live as an outsider who lost their home. But perhaps the most central theme is freedom. What does freedom really mean? What will it cost and how much might one be willing to pay for it? Does it even truly exist? Let's find out together.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.

Bright Feather
I'd like to say something like this is a unique story, blah-blah, but it's not. The story itself is your typical fantasy story with magic, fightings, plot armors, good friends, beautiful ladies and whatever there always is in such stories. I pretty much enjoy typical stories. So I've decided to write one myself. The only thing is the story isn't going to be centered about the Main Character. So let's leave all of the above to him, we'll meet him eventually anyway. This is the story of MC's counterpart. While our greatest Main Character conquers the world, cultivates, and whatever else, what does his destined other half do? Sit and stoically wait for him to come out of the closed door cultivation? Really now... Just thought it might be interesting to write such a story. Let's see if I manage. I'm new to this so, dear readers, please, don't be harsh on me. But if you have some words for me, so I can improve, don't keep them to yourselves, all help is deeply appreciated.And I officially promise to be very slow and inconsistent with releases (myriads reasons for this.) But I'll still do my best to finish the story someday. WARNINGS! (I thought a lot, and in the end, I'm putting it here. Better safe than sorry.) First of all, you can probably easily guess, but English is not my native language. And everything that comes with it. I don't think that it excuses me though, so I will improve with time, but warning you nevertheless. Second: No harem, no BL, no Romance And the last but not least: Beware of psychological pressure on characters and characters' deaths. Not much, in my opinion, but still, if you're overly sensitive to violence or mind games, better drop before starting. In any case, you've been warned. With all the above said, welcome, and enjoy.
