Most headlines about Justin Bieber lately have had to do with his ex Kylie Jenner, But this week Justin dropped something that we were all waiting for.
Completing a comeback arc that has included Jack Ü’s summer smash “Where Are Ü Now” and a seemingly endless series of contrite public appearances alone and with his ex, Mr. Bieber opened at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart with “Purpose”, which sold 522,000 copies and had a remarkable 100 million streams in the United States, according to Nielsen data released Monday. And we can already feel this album being a success.

Going from a teen star to a serious recording artist is anything but easy. Just ask anyone who isn't Justin Timberlake. But Justin Bieber is certainly giving it his best shot on his first album since entering his 20s. It seems to be working; despite his huge profile, lead single 'What Do You Mean?' was actually his first #1 hit in this country.
It would've been easy for Bieber to release a record of pure EDM bangers that were entirely devoid of personality, but he's actually been a lot more canny than that. 'Purpose' puts a lot of faith in the strength of the melodies underpinning the tracks and, for the most part, it's a smart move. Tracks like 'Sorry' and 'Love Yourself' are deftly understated and certainly demonstrate that Bieber realises his core audience are maturing as he is.
In fact, paradoxically, because of how un-bold the tracks on 'Purpose' are, that in itself makes it a very bold album. It's sensual night music, taking its cues from 1990s R&B and the singer-songwriter confessional style of Ed Sheeran. Even Bieber's guest spot on the Skrillex and Diplo song 'Where Are Ü Now" somehow fits in with the overall introspective aesthetic. The fact that 'Purpose' features some of the hottest writers and producers in the game right now means there's enough going on to hold your interest throughout.

For his first album in over three years, it's difficult to see how this could have gone any better for Bieber We can deffinetly see his recent love and heartbreak throughout his album about on and off Girlfriend Kylie Jenner who just released her album "King Kylie" a few months ago who is still crushing the charts and it up for a few awards so far...Jenner has said that her album was mostly about her relationship with now Ex Justin Bieber, And we can totally feel that Justin has pulled another stunt, writing an album about Kylie

Old Version - The First Magician
INDEFINITE HIATUS I always seem to make these too long when I ask for peoples opinions so I’m not gonna try an exciting description anymore but instead just give you an idea of what to expect. First off, this is my 2nd attempt at a story but my foundation for this one is much better than the 1st already and I see this going much further and so far its coming together much faster and easier. So please excuse me if things are not up to publishing standards. Also I tend to confuse your, you’re and so on so sorry to people that triggers ahead of time. The First Magician follows the story of 15 year old Alex in a post apocalyptic rpg-ish world in the near future. Earth was transformed, monsters appeared and people began being able to use Ki but could not figure out how to use magic. Alex ends up becoming the first human able to use magic through a series of events and sets in motion events that will change the very future of the human race. He will be somewhat OP simply because he is the only human (at least to start, who knows about later?) who is able to use mana. Many classic RPG elements have been removed. I didn’t want the story to be like all of the other lit rpg stories on RRL but it also makes the writing easier for me hence the watering down of rpg elements. UPDATES: I am doing this to relieve stress and for fun so I will release chapters when I can. So far though ive managed to keep up with 2 most days. CONTENT WARNINGS: There will be some light language but it won't be insane. I might have some gore later on but am unsure and the same for the sexual content. Sexual content isn't super likely as I doubt I can write it well but I put the tag so people cant yell about it if I add some in the future but forgot to add the tag. COVER ART: Yes it is from the anime Log Horizon. It is a good representation of what earth looks like despite it not being many years in the future. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/s6V3hGV

The Order
The Order takes place within the Human-led Empire, within Glory City. In this Empire in which Magic is policed and its use is regulated, Mages are required to have a licence in order to practice Magic. The Magically inclined, Non-Human Races that have lived under Human rule lived a markedly different life to Humans, which had led to a somewhat contentious relationship. A law enforcement agency known as The Order is responsible for maintaining Magical order, and is also responsible for doling out justice to those who break the law. Consisting of the Magic using Mages, and the more technologically inclined Knights, these Agents are regarded as protectors by some, but as oppressors by many. The tale follows the exploits of Izano Zuko, a mysterious man, covered from head to toe in burn scars and wrapped in bandages. He arrives in Glory City with the backing of the City Lord, unknown abilities and secret intentions. Trouble starts up almost as soon as he arrives, and Zuko is thrown into a conflict between the Order and an unknown enemy. This is a complete book, and I plan to upload a chapter every week or so. No cover as yet.
