Alex's P.O.V
"I'm pregnant."
What did she say? Did she say what I think she said? I know my jaw is hanging open and my eyes are wide.
"Can you repeat that."
"I'm pregnant." She says tears welling up in her eyes. Seeing her eyes start to flood snaps me out of my stupor. I get up and rush over to her wrapping my arms around her waist holding her to me. As I hold her I hear her mumbling I'm sorrys into my chest.
"Baby no you have nothing to be sorry for." I tell her kissing the top of her head. She pulls away looking into my eyes.
"You're not mad?" She asks watching my face closely.
"What? No Baby girl why would I be mad?" I ask genuinely confused as to why she would think that.
"We are too young. What if I suck as a mom? What if you decide you don't want to be with me anymore. What if you leav-"
I cut her off by smashing my lips onto hers. I finally pull away resting our foreheads together.
"Yes we are young but you don't have to worry about me leaving you Harper. I am yours and always will be for as long as you want me. I love you baby girl." I say making her eyes well up again. "No baby don't cry I'm sorry this is my fault."
"Shut up Lex. These are happy tears. Fuck these hormones and your stupid beautiful words making me cry." She says smiling widely at me.
I laugh and kiss her again before sitting us down on the couch.
"What are we gonna do?" I ask while running my fingers through her hair.
"We have to tell my parents." She says causing me to groan.

"Oh my god they are going to kill me!" I say starting to panic.
"Not kill you but my dad might chop your dick off." She says with a straight face before breaking down into laughter.
"Not funny Harper." I say rolling my eyes at her.
"Come on. Go with me. Better to get this over with now than to wait." She says getting off the couch.
"Now. You want to go now?" I ask starting to panic again.
"Yes come on."
We lock up my house and go back to hers.
"Mom! Dad!" She yells.
Her mom is in the kitchen and her dad is on the couch. We tell her mom to sit down with her dad because we have something to tell them. Once they are both there, Harper and I look from each other to them.
"I'm pregnant." Harper says as if telling them what she had for lunch. Her mom gasps and her dads eyes widen.
"You're WHAT?!?" He dad says. Her mom grabs his hand shaking her head. He lets out a deep breath before looking at us again. "This is a big responsibility. I don't know if the two of you can handle this." He says going back to the level headed man I have come to know.
"Dad we realize that. We are young we know that and it wasn't planned it just happened. I'm sorry for disappointing you Daddy but we can handle this." Harper says giving her dad the pout.
"Go to your room, Harper. I think it's best if you head home Alex. Me and your mother need to talk." He says without looking at me. I kiss Harper on the cheek before saying goodbye to them and head back home.

The next day, before the game, Harper tells me her parents want me to come over afterwards. I agree and we head to the locker room to get ready.
After the game Harper and I make our way to her house. After going inside we sit on the couch across from her mom waiting for her dad to come in.
Once he comes in with us we sit there quietly waiting for him to start.
"First off, we talked about this and we are going to support your decision, but we will not raise this child for you. You both acted like adults and got into this so you both will now deal with the consequences." He says before looking over to his wife. "We will help all we can." He continues. "Harper. Your mother is taking you to the doctor in the morning to confirm that you are pregnant and to set up all subsequent appointments." He pauses looking to me. "I suspect you want to be there" He says to me. I nod in agreement "so I will make sure you are both excused from school. After tomorrow we will talk again."
They get up and go into the kitchen while Harper and I release the breath we didn't know we were holding.
The next day we walk into the doctors office together along with Mrs. Adams. Once Harpers name is called, we all follow the nurse to a room. They have Harper take another text and they take blood from her. After a while they come back and confirm she is indeed pregnant. They nurse has her pull up her shirt and she rubs gel onto her belly.
"This is a little cold but we are going to take a look and see." She says. "So it seems that you are about 6 weeks pregnant."
A few moments later we hear a heartbeat and tears instantly start falling from both of our eyes as I kiss the top of harpers head.
After leaving the doctors office Harpers mom lets her go back to my house to spend the night. After changing into shorts and t shirts we decide to get into bed.
I think this is the happiest I have ever been. Harper and I are going to have a baby together and even though it's not an ideal situation, I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

Yagacore: The Dungeon that Walks Like a Man
The Dungeon System is breaking. Now the mutant cores will rise. Zaria was just a normal woman, living a simple life, right up until demons burst down her door and ate her heart. Normally that would be the end of the story, but Zaria was reborn as a dungeon core. Except nothing is normal for her. Due to instability throughout the universe, Dungeon Core generation is experiencing some unique bugs and glitches. Most of these mutant cores just explode after only a few hours of life. Zaria is one of those cores. Luckily for her, there’s a way to prevent her detonation - she must find and form a bond with a human witch to create a striga. Only then will she be stable enough to survive. Normally, this would be a death sentence anyway, but Zaria’s mutation gives her an ability no other dungeon core has had before: Legs. Now a walking house, Zaria sets off to find her striga, fight demons and monsters, build up a dungeon worthy of being run by the greatest heroes in the lands…and feed the insatiable appetite of her mimic mobs. Life sure isn’t simple anymore.From the author of Dinosaur Dungeon, Factory of the Gods, and others! Plus part of the same universe as those books as well as Roots and Steel and Block Dungeon!

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

STEEL ABYSS
A new era is upon Kailsh. Floating above the waves of her endless oceans, the great cityships of humanity are undergoing a revolution. Ancient flotillas and sailing boats, once the lifelines of a dying race, have been transformed into towering metropolises and mighty vessels of steel through the ancient salvage upon the sea floor.
