Alex's P.O.V
God her giggle is so cute, I want to record it and listen to it all day. As she starts to make breakfast I head to the living room to see the two assholes grinning like idiots on the couch.
"Really guys? You took pictures?" I ask with my hands on my hips in mock anger.
"Harlex is goals" Lo says shrugging her shoulders. I love that idiot.
I take a seat on the couch by Lo and she looks at me grinning causing me to roll my eyes again.
"What Lo?"
"Are y'all together? Like a couple? Did you fuck last night? Come on I need to know how my ship is doing" she says excitedly.
"No. No. NO. Calm your tits Lo" I tell her while watching tv.
"What the hell are you waiting for Lex you better not let her go." She says glaring at me. I don't plan on letting her go but I want to take her out and ask her the right way.
"I'm not Lo. Relax we haven't even been on a date yet."
"Well ask her. TODAY. Don't wait Lex" she says. Before I can reply, Harper tells us breakfast is ready. We all sit down and dig in. This is fantastic. Harper can definitely cook. After breakfast Michelle and Lauren leave again.
Harper and I are on the couch watching tv when I decide to ask her.
"Harper?"
"Yes" she says looking over to me.
"Do you uh...Do you want to go on a date with me?" I ask nervously.
"Yes, I would love too" she says smiling softly. I grin at this a tell her ok and I will pick her up Monday at 6 since we don't have school until Wednesday. We watch tv a little longer before she says she has to go home. She gets up to go and I stand to walk her to the door. Once there, she turns to me pecking me on the cheek before turning to leave. I softly grab her arm turning her back to me capturing her lips with mine. Things start to get heated and I slowly pull away. With my forehead pressed against hers, both of us catching our breath, I tell her I will see her Monday. She smiles and leaves and I go back to the couch with a smile you couldn't slap off on my face.

It's finally Monday. The day of my date with Harper Adams, my dream girl, and I am a nervous wreck. I called Lo to come over and help me decide what to wear. I decide on a navy button down and black skinny jeans and doc martins. My bruises on my face are faded so I don't look too bad. It's now 5:30 and I am ready to go. My nerves are still high but Lo helped a little by telling me Harper is already in love with me and she knows it will be great.
I get in the car and make my way to Harper's house. I get out of the car and walk to the door and ring the door bell. When the door open I am face to face with Mr. Adams.
"H-hey sir. I am here to p-pick up Harper."
"Come in young lady" he says with a blank expression on his face.
"I know who you are. I knew your mother" he says causing my smile to fall. "She was a wonderful lady so any child of hers is ok in my book. But, if you hurt my baby I will kill you." He says with the same blank expression.
"Sir, I would never hurt Harper" I say looking him in the eye.
"Good." He says before calling Harper telling her I am here. When I see her walking down the stairs my mouth goes dry. She is in a beautiful teal dress that goes down mid thigh. Her blonde hair is in a messy bun with a few strands framing her face. "Close your mouth kid" Mr. Adams says with a small smile. "Be back by 11 and no drinking or other delinquent behavior." He says kissing the top of Harpers head.

"Dad..." she says while pulling me out the door. Soon we are on the porch, I stop her and turn her to face me.
"You are beautiful" I tell her causing her to giggle and say thank you. I open the door for her and make my way around and off we go.
We pull up to Rio's and I jump out to open her door for her. Taking her hand in mine I lead us into the restaurant to start our date.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

It was then did John use a dark magic that did he got them out of that situation. But in exchange for the princess's safety, John Sarvod was exiled from A'vetheas for using 'demon magic'. What will he do after the life he knew was uprooted and taken away from him? Will the 'demon magic' that caused his exile from the Elven Tribe bring him into a slow descent into madness? Book 2 description: Having found a life for himself outside of A'vetheas, a family, enrolled to a good school, and a potential romantic partner, John Sarvod continues on with his life the best he could, carrying himself forward, until... He messes it all up again. This time, however, it isn't because of his magic. It was by his own demerit. What is the cause of despair? Find out in Consignor Book 2. Old description (Without spoiler) John Sarvod, user of the most powerful healing spell [Heal], the rare ability to heal and recover all injuries, is the only human that lives in the Elven Tribe. Though he was gifted with [Heal], he could not cast any magic other than his one and only [Heal]. Aside from his current training to become a royal scribe, he is known to all elves as the ‘Healer of A’vetheas’ and had gained a certain amount of respect from them due to how much he works. But life for him in the Elven Tribe, A’vetheas wasn't never always like this. Because he was human, and that the Elves have isolated themselves from the outside world, his presence initially was not welcomed by the elves that thinks highly of him today. It was all thanks to the Elven Queen who brought him in, and the Elven Princess, Raina Valindra Eridi, that he could reach this day. But things changed when the Raina that he so adored used the teleportation device for a small date with him, where they met with danger that the [Heal] that he relied all this time could not save him from… In his desperate attempts to save Raina, John ended up committing a taboo of the elves. As for his punishment when he returned to A’vetheas? That was just the beginning of him, continuing the path that he had inevitably taken prior to the life he had before he lived in A’vetheas. This is a story of a not too average person end up becoming something that he could have never imagined. A monster? A demon? A god? Only time will tell. It is just a matter of time that John Sarvod would embrace his true self. Content Warning because I want to have flexibility, and maybe it gets overwhelming at times. I have a backlog already, this story won't be dropped. Edited: romance tag to action tag, story has more or less of both, but yeah. There's slice of life tagged in because my story progresses not too quickly (by my opinion) I like to take things slow, I suppose. :3
