Ch 9.1 Tonio from Italy- Start
4th August
It was a sunny evening outside, all the classes had ended and students were returning to their dorms. The gusty winds cooled off their sweat and acted as a cure to the cruel heat the sun presented. There were multiple dorms, all located at the South side of the city complex, right near the Academy Blocks. In Dorm C Room no. 269 sat Yuki, covered in sweat, he had just shifted to his new room from the temporary dorm for newcomers, and the building was providing no help in avoiding the heat.
Yuki set all of his stuff up in his room and after all the exhaustive labor he wiped sweat off his forehead and set out to meet Naomi.
But as soon as he stepped foot out of his room he bumped into a white boy of his size. His appearance was mesmerizing and his blue eyes shone like a diamond, hovering over them were his black hair, not as curly but nor the straightest either, they were as light as the air and loafed around his head by the help of the gust. His face was round and covering it were his black rimmed, curved rectangular glasses. He wore a white shirt with a light brown waistcoat, the usual uniform meant for first year students, what was unusual though, were the 2 squared golden shoulder buttons. The evening sun was right behind him and yet he somehow shone brighter.
He was dressed up like any other 1 year student and yet something about him screamed Special.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention." Yuki apologized in Japanese while bending down.
"Ah, mi scusi! Are you hurt anywhere?" He apologized immediately after, in a strong Italian accent.
"Oh no, I'm not, I'm sorry I wasn't looking my way." Yuki apologized once again, this time in English, still bending.

Idiot! People from everywhere will be here, of course all won't be speaking Japanese like Naomi, how stupid am I. Good thing I played those MMORPGs with westerners, I can atleast speak decent English due to it.
"It's completely fine, are you staying here from now, in this room?" He enquired kindly.
"Yes, I am. Why do you ask?"
"Well that means you'll be my roommate from now on. I hope we get along."
"Oh, so you're my new roommate? I'm Tachibana Yuki, nice to meet you." Yuki introduced himself.
"Altrettanto, My name is Antonio Giò Prada, but people call me by other names too."
"So which class are you in?"
"I'm in 1-3, the same class as you." Antonio exclaimed.
"Oh! Is it? I've yet to know all of my classmates as I just joined today."
"Yeah you sure will."
"Well then, I'll have to leave now."
"Are you going to meet someone?"
"Yes, why?"
"I thought I could treat you as you are my new roomate, maybe you can get your friend to tag along too?"
"Oh that's a great idea. I'll introduce you to her then."
"Sure thing, I'll be waiting in the canteen then, the big one."
"Yes, see you soon!"
With that they parted ways, Antonio went towards the canteen and Yuki went to get Naomi. Yuki was happy to finally make a friend in his batch. And Antonio split his face with his smile for some other reason.

Outside Room 8 of Dorm A stood a young man, his black hair wavering from the winds. Talking to a young lady with brown hair inside the room.
"So Yuki~Kun's got an actual friend now." Naomi exclaimed behind her door, opened just enough for the door chain to stretch and only her face to be seen. She was in her pajamas and tank top, the kind of clothing you would wear when you're relaxing at home avoiding the heat.

"Why are you saying it like that now. It's not like I have some problem with making friends." Yuki moaned, "Anyways, he's giving us a treat in the canteen. You should tag along."
"Oh, that's great, I'll have to pack up the stuff in my room and get ready, you can go ahead- No wait. I have some work with one of the teachers at Block A. We need to go there before, so I'd suggest you go there without me." She suggested while closing her door.
"Nah. I can tag along with you. I don't think Antonio will mind us being a few minutes late."
"Fine then. You can wait outside while I get ready."
"Man, why do you girls have to put up makeup everytime you go out." Yuki taunted.
"I AM IN MY SLEEPING CLOTHES YOU IDIOT GET LOST!"

Awakening
A potent tale of self-discovery. Centuries ago, the prophetic Golden Age ended in war, and history spiraled into darkness... Now, only scholars retain the last portent of the mythic city A'lara, concealed in a distant glade for the advent of the dragon mage. At the edge of the Known World, the slave Larin escapes her new lord before she meets his dark masters. Deep in the mountains, the legendary elf Kingard awaits his call to battle. When young Darek flees imperial mages tasked to exterminate shape-shifters, he launches them all on a voyage to redeem their unsought destiny. United by fate and guided by prophesy, their growing band of fugitives journey for A'lara to fight the ancient evil infiltrating the capital. But looming over the gears of fate, their enemies follow the same prophesies. With the unknown close upon them, Kingard and his allies face a mortal quest to restore their infected empire. Praise for Awakening: If you love Anne McCaffrey, J.R.R. Tolkien and Tad Williams, then Awakening is a novel you will surely want to pick up. D.N.Frost is a consummate world-builder with a knack for creating characters that are complex and three-dimensional. Frost writes with graceful prose that is descriptive and well-edited. The plot is fast-paced and entertaining. What really sets this novel apart is the cartography, which is a spectacular accomplishment. Incredible world-building! - M.L. Spencer, author of The Rhenwars Saga ★★★★★ This novel was published in 2014, and it includes 19 antique watercolor maps! Check them out: Maps of Awakening: an atlas directory
8 140The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 78Animus-Blade: Sword Singer
My first story, feedback is appreciated. Fifteen-year-old bookworm Joan lived a poor but sheltered life, her only worry was the upcoming rite that granted individuals of her age a soulbound magic weapon called an Animus-blade. Failure to acquire one labelled you as an outcast who is left to rot by society at large and Joan has good reason to believe that she will be among them. But after her only friend, Alessia goes missing Joan is slowly dragged into the cruel world and is forced to decide how she will confront the darkness in the recesses of humanity or be broken by it.

8 214The Cullens Shared Mate
THIS IS A COMPLETED STORY AND THERE WILL BE NO SEQUEL ANY TIME SOON.In this story Elizabeth Swan is the older sister of Bella Swan. Bella hates Beth for being older than her and her not being the only child. She especially hates her when she grows close with the Cullen family. You should also now that I made this cringy and like other stories because that seems to be what everyone likes. Some of it will be cheesy and other parts will be extra dramatic but its intentional. Bella is not with Edward in this story. None of the Cullens are together they only consider eachother siblings. Esme is not in this story and I am so sorry, I love her but with how im doing it I don't know if I could fit her in correctly. In this story the Cullens are a coven that was blessed with having only one mate that they must share with eachother. THIS IS A BELLA BASHING STORY. It is based in 2020 and ALL the Cullens are seniors. Well except Carlisle. The coronavirus is not a thing. Bella will be VERY out of character, go with it.There will be some cursing and smut with warnings when it will happenI do not own twilight or its plot I only own Elizabeth Jo Swan and the plot I created. This will not follow the timeline or the plot completely so bare with me.
