Chapter 1
Annabelle's POV
I'm so excited that we are moving to LA! After college my best friend Carson and I decided to move there so we could take our YouTube jobs a little more seriously.
Right now we were on the plane headed there. It seemed like forever until we finally landed at LAX. I was beyond excited because there are so many of our all time favorite YouTuber's and celebrity's here! Carson was konked out next to me and I shook her to wake her up.
"We're here!!" I said practically singing. "Someone's excited." She said laughing at my enthusiasm, yawning a bit. After nearly shoving everyone out of the way, we finally got out of the cramped plane and watched the revolving circle of suitcases till we spotted ours. We quickly caught a cab and got in, showing the driver our address. I admired the scenery around us, looking at the lucious palm trees that loomed overhead. I was bouncing in my seat from excitement and probably one too many free coffee's on the plane. I couldn't wait to see our house! It was going to be slightly bigger than what we needed just in case a few of our other friends decided to move in with us.
Just as I was about to threaten the cab driver to drive us a little faster, we finally got to our house and it was even more breath taking in person. I quickly scavenged for the key in the black hole of my purse, screaming in joy once I felt it. Carson and I squealed and ran to the door, fumbling with the lock. When we saw the inside, we practically fainted. It was perfect! We immediately went to go see which of rooms we wanted.
It was a tough choice but I finally picked the one with a walk in closet, balcony that over looked the pool, and a queen sized bed. And the paint on the wall was my all time favorite color, Black, like my soul.
"Ugh! When are our families going to get here with the moving truck! I'm about to flip my biscuit." Carson said, flopping onto the bare mattress. As if the YouTube gods heard us, there was a honk out side and we immediately shoot up and run down the stairs, greeted by a large U-Haul.
"Mom!" Carson and I both scream as we go to attack our birth givers with a hug. "Only been here for a day and y'all already miss us." Carson's mom says, laughing. "Oh shush, we're only excited cause you have all of our valuables in le truck." I say with a smirk.
My mom playfully slaps my arm and we start moving all the boxes inside. By the time we get them all inside, we are soaked with sweat. Gotta love the L.A weather. Thanks Satan. "Thank y'all so much for helping us unload." I say hugging both of our moms. "Just think of it as a goodbye present." My mom says with a smile, hugging me tightly. Carson and I wave bye frantically to them as the U-Haul drives off, my mom honking the horn.
Once we get inside, we start unpacking our boxes. I get all of my clothes and shoes that I managed to fit into 5 boxes and organize it into my closet. I got some nails and a hammer so I could hang my overwhelming amount of Polaroid pictures and my fairy lights around my room.
After I was finished, I changed into a new outfit cause I looked pretty bad. I put on some black high waisted shorts with a pink top and my vans. I put my hair up to keep it out of my face and put on some light makeup.

After I was done getting ready I grabbed my penny board that I named Oakley (after Tyler Oakley!) and my vlogging camera and went to go check on Carson. She and I shared the huge bathroom between our rooms.
"All done?" I said admiring her room. "All done!" She said smiling at me. We decided to ride our penny boards around the neighborhood so we would know the area a little bit better. "This neighborhood is gorgeous!" I said talking to the camera.
"You can say that again." Carson says to my camera as we pushed off the ground with our feet, wanting to gain more speed. All of a sudden a cute little dog came running around the corner and up to us. He looked very familiar for some reason. "Hey there little guy! What are you doing around here?" I asked him as I picked him up.
I turned off the camera and looked around for a possible owner while Carson was petting him and giving him little kisses. "He must have gotten lost." I said to Carson. All of a sudden 2 guys came running around the corner.
"Wishbone!" The first guy yelled. I couldn't get a clear view of his face. "Jc wait up!" The second guy said.
Wait. Hold your horses. Wishbone? Jc? Oh my god. It can't be. It must be a coincidence! Of all neighborhoods in L.A. Finally the 2 guys came into view and my heart skipped a beat.
Right in front of us was our favorite YouTubers who we had practically loved since we laid our 7th grade eyes on them. Jc Caylen and Connor Franta! "Oh my gosh thank you so so so much!" Jc said hugging wish bone and giving him little kisses. "Ok, I really need to start working out." Connor said, out of breath. Carson and I just looked at each other in excitement "I've never seen you two girls around here before! Did y'all just move here?" Jc asked me, snapping me out of my daze.
"Oh! Oh yeah! We just moved in to that house right there!" I said pointing to our house. "Really? We live just 3 houses down!" Connor said smiling at Carson making her cheeks tint with pink. "Oh how rude of us! I'm Connor, and that's Jc." He said pointing to Jc.
He smiled at me. "We know! We watch y'all on YouTube! Y'all are our inspiration for our YouTube channel!" I said smiling at them. "Y'all were just vlogging weren't y'all?" Jc said to us. We both nodded in unison.
"Hey would y'all like to come do a video with us?" Connor asked. We both looked at each other and fangirled just a little bit. They just asked us to be in one of their videos! "YES!!" We both said at the same time. "I mean, yeah dude, whatever's cool with y'all." I say, trying to regain my cool. They both laughed at my comment, causing me to smile. We picked up our penny boards and walked with them towards their house. We took out our camera and started vlogging.
"Oh my gosh guys! Look who we ran into!" I said pointing the camera at Jc and Connor. They both smiled and waved. "Hey!" They both said. I turned the camera back to me. "Magical things do happen in L.A!" Carson shouted at the camera, pumping her fists in the air. "Well we got to go guys! This is 1/2 of teenage dirtbags and I'll see you later!" I made a whooshing noise and but my hand over the lens, ending the recording.

"Oh my gosh your YouTube channel name is hilarious!" Jc said laughing and walking next to me since Carson and Connor were talking together and laughing. "Thanks! That's what Carson and I call each other!" I told him, a huge smile across my face. He smiled back at me. "I never caught your name!" Jc said.
"Oh! I'm Annabelle!" I said. "But you can call me whatever you want as long as it's not Annie." I say laughing. "Annabelle. That's a beautiful name." He said smiling at me. "I love your penny board by the way." He complimented. I pointed to his beanie. "I like your beanie!" I said to him which made him blush. He was so adorable.
I've had a crush on him who knows how long and it's been my dream to meet him! I've been watching him on YouTube since o2l was first made! "I can't thank you enough for finding wishbone. I was so scared I was going to loose him! Is there any way I can make it up to you?" He said smiling at me.
"Oh no! You've already done enough by letting us be in one of your videos!" I said. "Well how about after we shoot the video, you stay for lunch and we can swim?" Jc asked me. "That sounds great!" I smiled at him still astonished that I'm here actually talking with Jc.
We finally got to the o2l house and it was even bigger in person. "We have guests! Make yourself presentable!" Connor yelled as we walked through the front door. This of course made us laugh because we knew the boys, they're probably shirtless just lounging around, not that we are complaining... "Who is it?" I heard Ricky yell from his room. I could tell it was him because of his lisp. "Why don't you get off y'all's lazy bums and come see for yourself!" Jc yelled and again we laughed. Kian and Ricky walked downstairs and introduced them selfs.
"Hi I'm kian!" Carson and I just giggled and looked at each other. "What?" Kian said confused. "They know who you are. They are YouTubers too!" Connor said. Carson and I immediately started to do the crab face and all the guys cracked up. "Then I guess y'all know who I am?" Ricky said "Well if there's anyone who loves pikachu more than me, it's you!" I said to Ricky. This made everyone laugh "Omg girl YASSS!" Ricky said snapping his fingers and I snapped with him. Everyone applauded our sassy-ness.
"Well I guess we should introduce our selfs! I'm Annabelle and that's Carson!" I said pointing to Carson and she threw up a peace sign. "Since they are YouTubers too, we invited them to do a video with us! Would y'all like to join?" Connor asked Kian and Ricky. "We'll duh!" Ricky said.
We started talking about what we should do for the video since this weeks theme was girls week. We ended up on the topic "things guys don't get about girls" We set up the tripod in front of the living room couch. "Want to do the intro?" Jc asked me. I gladly nodded and since it was Thursday I did Jc's intro.
"WHATS UP O2L..........Jc here!" I said giving the camera a Jc smile. Everyone laughed at my spot on Jc impression. "Haha hey guys! Today I'm joined with Connor, Kian and Ricky and.... Our new neighbors! Who are also YouTubers!" Jc said to the camera.
"Introduce yourself to the people!" Connor said. "Well I'm Annabelle and that's Carson and we have a channel that we run together called Teenage Dirtbags!" I said as I smiled to the camera. "Their link will be in the description below so go check them out and show them some love!" Jc said.
We started talking about this weeks theme and what we are doing for the video. Kian asked the first question "Why do girls always go to the bathroom together?" I laughed at this one. "Well it's still kind of a mystery to us but usually we are somewhere with other friends and we don't want to be missing out on all the fun so we take someone with us!" I said. They all considered it. "Hmm. We'll I guess that makes since!" Kian said making us laugh.
The next question was "Why does it take y'all so long to get ready?!" Jc asked. "Honestly, we just want to look good! We have to make sure we look perfect!" Carson said. "But y'all look beautiful already! Y'all don't need to make sure you look perfect!" Connor said to Carson which of course made her blush. "Well that's just how we are! We don't know why!" I said to the camera shrugging.
"Ok last question. Why do girls put on so much makeup? Yes a LITTLE makeup is fine but don't lather yourself in it!" Jc said. "We'll we just want to look pretty. There's really no other awnser." I say. "But y'all are perfectly pretty without it! You don't need makeup!" Jc said to me smiling of course making me blush and I smiled back at him. "Well that's all we have for you guys! I'll see you next Thursday! Sta-" he was cut off by me and Carson yelling "STAY CLOUDY!" And we all rolled around laughing like crazy. Jc just shook his head and smiled and ended the video.
"That was great girls! And Annabelle you hit that intro perfectly!" Jc said and I bowed. "IM HUNGRY!!" Kian whined. "I'm craving some Taco Bell! Anyone else?" I asked my new best friends. "Penny boarding, vans, Taco Bell. Man Jc, she's a keeper!" Ricky said and we both blushed like crazy.
"Don't forget hot wings!" Carson said. I gave her a look like "Quit it!" but automatically Jc's head popped up. "You like hot wings too?!" He asked excitedly. I looked up at him shyly and smiled "Yeah they are the best!" He just smiled even more and it made me giggle.
"We'll y'all are cute and everything but I'm still hungry! Let's go!" Kian said annoyed. This of course made us laugh and Ricky grabbed his keys and we got into his orange Kia sole and drove through the drive through and all got what we wanted. I got quesadillas and so did jc which of course I thought was adorable. When we got back to the house I jumped onto Jc's back and shouted "To the house! Onward!" They all just laughed and with me on his back he ran to the house and gently sat me down on the bar that sperated the kitchen from the living room. "Thank you my knight!" Anything for you my lady!" He said as he kissed my hand. I smiled back at him. "FOOD!!" Carson said as she ran in on Connors back. "Faster my noble steed" Kian said while on Ricky's back with the bag of food in his hand. "Get off me you fat lard!" Ricky yelled at Kian. We all died from laughing so hard. We ate our food and threw all the trash away. "Ready to swim?" Connor asked. "We have to go get our swimsuits at our house! Do y'all want to come with us so you know what house is ours?" I asked them. They all nodded.
This time we were all on our penny boards and we all rode to our house. "This is my room!" I said to everyone. "Sweet Vans collection!" Jc said running in and checking them out. "That's nothing wait till you see the rest in my closet." I say, opening the double doors.
"Dang girl! That's a lot of vans!" Kian said taking in all of them. "Yeah I have way too many!" I told the whole group. "You can never have too many vans!" Jc said high-fiving me. After we showed them the rest of the house Carson and I changed into our swim suites and we all pennied back to the o2l house.
While the boys were putting their sunscreen on, I yanked Carson close to me. "Ow! What?" I hushed her. "When all the guys are close to the edge of the pool, help me push them in! I'll get Jc and Kian and you get Ricky and Connor!" I whisper yelled to her. "Ok! Got it!" She said back it me.
I looked over to the guys chatting and talking by the edge of the pool. I looked over at Carson and gave her a thumbs up. We snuck up behind them and and I counted to 3 with my fingers. 1...2...3!
We shoved all of them in and the look on their faces was priceless! "Annabelle! I'm going to get you!" Jc said. "Carson you better run!" Connor said to her. They all got out of the pool and started chasing us. All of a sudden Jc picked me up bridal style and Connor did the same to Carson and they jumped into the pool with us in their arms.
The water was COLD! But it felt really good after all the running I did. I came up out of the water to see everyone laughing and I had to join them. "Got ya back!" Jc said tickling me and making me laugh like crazy! "Quit it!!" I said making him laugh "But your laugh is adorable." Jc said which made my cheeks tint slightly. I started tickling him and he started laughing too.
We decided to have a chicken fight and I got on top of Jc's shoulders and Carson got on Connors shoulders and Kian got on Ricky's shoulders and we started fighting. I managed to get Carson and Connor down and then it was us against Ricky and Kian.
I put my hands on Kian's biceps and he put his hands on mine and we were both trying to pull each other down. It was a rough battle but Jc tripped Ricky and he fell down taking Kian with him!
We won! Jc picked me up by my waist and spun my around and gave me a huge bear hug witch I gladly accepted! I smiled at him.
"Hey, tommorow wanna go to the mall with me?" He whispered to me when we were still hugging. I squeezed him tighter in response. "Sounds rad." I whispered back with a smile.
After we were done swimming we decided to go home. Connor and Carson decided to walk and talk behind us. They are destined to be together, I know that for a fact. I can see it now, Carson and Connor franta!
When we got to the front door he gave me a hug. "I had a blast! I can't wait till tomorrow. Here's my number in case you need anything!" He said giving me a sheet of paper. "That will come in handy! Goodnight!" I said as I closed the door.
A few minuets later Carson came in and started fangirling and screaming and I did it with her! We both had met our most favorite people in the whole wide world! Today was, without a doubt, the best day of our lives! I went to bed with a huge smile. Tommorow was going to be amazing.

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: End of the Five, Twenty-three, and Twenty-nine Years Story
Alternate titles: - Five, Twenty-Three, Twenty-Nine Years - 5, 23, 29 "Dad? I think I got a really bad fever, why do I still feel fine?" "It feels cold..." Five years ago, Owen became a Court Wizard in search of his father who was lost to the unknown three years prior. But that wasn't the beginning of the story. Maybe it began twenty-three years ago when Ronald Bell and Joshua Ruze saved the Illyer family. Or perhaps, it all started twenty-nine years ago, when Ronald, the son of the wealthiest merchant, became a Court Wizard. Well, it doesn't matter anymore, for the story five, twenty-three, and twenty-nine years ago shall now meet its end. 2nd book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Read Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia first. This story is split into two 'Collections,' Ronald's Collection and Owen's Collection, each centering around those Court Wizards. Crossposted with WordPress site, Wattpad, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
