Chapter 10: Baku’s Challenge
(Setting: Crystal Kingdom: Main City- Main Street)
(Scene: The city is bustling with news from the Royal Center)
[Narrator]: The day is now February 5th...
*The boys walk down the main street headed for the High University. Along the way, they overhear the citizens talking amongst themselves. It is as active as ever and loud with chatter.
[Male Citizen]: Did you hear the news? There's been talk about how the Oracle reawakened a couple nights ago!
[Female Citizen]: Really!? Wow that's big! I wonder what's going to happen?
[City Officer]: Any idea how long until the big reveal?
[Patrol Knight]: I have a buddy that works in the Royal Center. He's been hearing rumors anywhere between the next 5 to 9 days.
[City Officer]: That soon, huh? Hopefully hell doesn't break loose. Hahaha!
[Barrtio]: What do you guys think these folks are talking about?
[Baku]: I Don't know. I Don't care. I just wanna see the Princess in her underwear.
[Finn]: *Nonchalantly* Yeah, it'll probably be something stupid anyways.
(Setting: Crystal Kingdom: High University- Main Hall)
(Scene: Baku, Barrtio, and Finn arrive at the High University)
*The boys appear in front of their lockers preparing for the day and their upcoming classes. The students were just as chatty as the folks in the city. Everybody must've had high energy today for some reason.
[Leonidas Quark]: Hey, Baku!
[Baku]: Oh, what's up, Leo? How you guys doin’ today?
[Barrtio and Finn]: Whattup, Geek Squuaad!?
[Leonidas Quark]: Baku, me and my friends present to you: all of your previously missed Algebra assignments that you can still get points for, as well as detailed and underlined notes, including flashcards, for all of your core classes!
[Baku, Barrtio, and Finn]: *Surprised* HOLY FREAKIN CRAP!?
[Baku]: *Still Shocked* Leo, why the hell did you do all of this!?

[Leonidas Quark]: I owed you one for helping me out a while ago, remember? Also, you’re my friend, right? That's what friends do!
[Baku]: *Still Shocked* I-I guess they do... Heck, I'm not complaining! Thanks, dude! You guys are heroes!
[Leonidas Quark]: It's not a problem, Baku! Just think of it as a perk of being friends with a guy as totally cool as me!
[Baku]: This is awesome! My grade in Algebra should totally increase after I hand these assignments in and study these notes!
*Baku continues to prepare for his day, which is going well so far, when suddenly Princess Savannah and her friends walk pass his locker and says…
[Princess Savannah]: *Smiling* I'll see you in Astronomy class today, Baku!
*Baku freezes in his tracks as a cold sweat washes is body like an arctic wave. His heart beating a million miles per second, getting completely flustered and red in the face over the fact that the Princess of all people actually just spoke his name. Barrtio, Finn, Leo and his geek squad's jaws drop in awe at what had just occurred.
[Baku]: *Heart beating* ....... D-D-D-Did she just…
[Barrtio and Finn]: *Frantically shouting* DUDE! WHY THE FUCK, DID THE MOST POPULAR GIRL IN THE KINGDOM JUST SAY HI TO YOU!?
[Baku]: *Freaking Out* I DON'T KNOW!? WHAT SHOULD I DO!?
[Barrtio]: BAKU! This is your chance! You gotta capitalize on this occurrence and bring it all the way to home base!
[Baku]: H-Home base!? What the hell does that even mean!?
[Finn]: Baku... If you fuck this up, you will be the biggest loser... You literally have the whole world in your hands!
[Baku]: Uhh... O-okay! I-I'll try to talk to her in my classes... and... uh... get to know her?
[Barrtio]: You need to do a lot more than, "Get to know her", you gotta ask her out on a date, dude!

[Baku]: *Embarrassed* A d-date!? Isn't that little extreme? B-Besides, I'm a stinkin’ peasant. She'd never think of going for a guy like me!
[Finn]: Baku, rewards were never given to those who wait and take no action! You gotta have initiative!
[Baku]: Initiative? What the crap...
[Barrtio]: Baku... Princess Savannah, the most popular girl in the entire kingdom, and the woman of your dreams, just put the ball in your court. You have to take a shot! What's the worst she'll say?
[Baku]: I could mess up badly and embarrass myself in front of all of her friends?
[Barrtio]: And the best that could happen is that she'll say, "Yes!" You got this, bro! Also, once you're in, you gotta put in a good name for me to Lady Akamiko!
[Baku]: I see now, that's why you want me to do this... So you can get a date with a hot chick, too, eh? Well... I guess I could give it a try. I do have Astronomy class with her today, so maybe I’ll try talking to her there... Also, I know you guys would troll me forever if I choke…
[Barrtio, Finn, and Leo]: YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT!!!

A Girl and Her Fate
Avien Shepard heralded change with his arrival. Not only was he born on the dawn a solar eclipse, three meteors lit up the sky on the day of his birth.

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

QQQQ
Have you ever noticed that the letter Q is unnecessary? It doesn't provide any function to the language. Any word spelled with it could just as easily be spelled with other letters. Does that mean it shouldn't exist? Of course not. In this universe, everything has a place. Cosmic balance, Karma, God's plan, the laws of physics—they're all trying to describe the same thing. There is nothing that exists without purpose, and nothing without purpose that can exist. You can take solace in knowing that, just like the useless letter Q, you have birthright to exist in this world. Nothing can take that from you. Unless a creator God breeds technicolor angel-beasts hellbent on ripping you out of reality, of course. When Mina learns that she was a cosmic accident—a being accidentally created without purpose—what was once an easygoing life starts to entwine with conspiracies, impossible occurrences, and deadly occult mysteries. Not to mention friends so dangerous and unpredictable they make the cosmic horrors look normal by comparison. When the questions never stop piling up, it's hard to know where to begin. But I'll give you a hint: they all begin with a Q.

Bullied at school and neglected by his parents, Tom Fiddle finds himself at his wit's end, until he receives a strange email offering him a job as a cultivation clan's spirit automaton. But what *is* a spirit automaton? After a successful application, he gets an answer to his question: a spirit automaton is an arcane spirit attached to a pocket realm. They can shape this miniature world to their liking and conjure spiritual entities, usually monsters, out of thin air. Their role is to create and administer trial-by-fires. These life and death competitions determine whether a disciple is *chosen* or merely *trash* that deserves to be left by the wayside. Tom's new responsibility will affect the lives of millions of cultivators and shape the future of hundreds of worlds, dozens of galaxies, and eventually, the universe itself. Will Tom use his newfound power to torment others and merely benefit himself? Or will he rewrite the course of history and transform the path of cultivation from a path of blood and destruction, to one of peace and tranquility?
