In a high rise building ,housing the offices of the many directors of Lance Inc. ,Alicia had just finished her work and was about to leave for the day when the phone on her desk rang. She frowned and debated whether to answer or not.It was already a couple of hours over work time and nobody could expect her to be in the office so late.She still answered..after all it could be urgent and her boss was still out of country and all so she thought to not risk it.
"Hello.."
"Hi Al..Good thing you are still in the office.Wait for me.I 'll be there in 10 mins."
a husky male answered.It was a voice that one would term as a bedroom voice-low,smooth and sexy.
It was also the voice of her boss and best friend Neil.It was just like him to issue orders and not bother waiting for a reply..."And there went my Friday night relaxation",she grumbled to herself.
After exactly 8 mins her very handsome boss entered and pointed at his office while still talking to someone else on his cell phone.
Has she mentioned that my boss is the senior (and youngest )lawyer at Lance Inc. one of the country's biggest investment firms?As she sat back in his spacious office she thought back to the time when she first came for her interview. Most people wouldn't have any good memories of this room but she did.This is where she found hope,something she desparately needed two years ago and a best friend that she did not know she needed..This office always made her nostalgic..She sat there waiting patiently for him to finish his call and get back to business.
Al jolted back to the present when she heard him personally assure someone that they need not worry and he'd handle everything.

The fact that he was in the office at this hour after a 12 hour long flight and handling personally the matters meant that person must be a V.V.I.P.
As she was musing this,he finished his call pulled her to him for a long hug.She was caught by surprise at this gesture not because she didn't expect it but because it was very rare for him to initiate physical contact.She hugged him back murmured quietly, "What has you so worried?"
How did she guess he was worried?She knew it because only then would he hug her.
He took a deep breath and said "Al..I need a favor.."
"Uh..huh."
"Please marry....my brother."

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Bonespore
Harux Y'saanith is not your average elf. He is wild, untamed, and likes a good old cut of meat over a plate of vegetables. But what he does have in common is his love of fighting and magic. So when he gets the perfect opportunity to join an academy full of strong fighters, he couldn't resist. Journeying with an eccentric tech billionaire, a boy who's way too theatrical for his own good, a proud knightess and many others, Harux wonders if he'd finally found strong opponents, or even people he can call his friends. Bonespore is a shonen-inspired story set in an academy where students train and fight. There is also a blend of magic and SciFi as it is set in a post-modern world of sorts. If you like something that is a blend of both magical slice of life, and tense moments with battle, horror and other events, then it'll be to your liking. (This will be crossposted onto Scribblehub)
