《Revelations Online》Chapter 01 - Part 2
Advertisement
His heart thumped. Once, twice. Then like a beat, it had gotten faster. And when an attendant escorted him to his room, his eyes were in a panic. Public places, public officers, public toilets--err, not that one. It felt like time passed for so long even though it still hasn't been a minute yet. Weird, it was supposed to be his room, the attendant said, but there were three beds and in the other room, two. Was this like bed space where people rent the whole house along with different strangers?
Well, no matter. It might be his teammates so why not? He'll get to know them anyway. Aaron peered around the huge, spacious room, all modernized. Two bathrooms, a glass door separating the two-bed rooms, a single living room connecting the two and a kitchen, all high class. Plus, he was currently in a skyscraper thirty stories high with the whole city in his view.
This has to be a royal suite! There was no way being a Beta Tester was this well treated. But since he was here anyway, thinking about it would be useless. He had free food, exempt from various bills, high-speed internet with a gaming computer and four more strangers he didnt know. He wanted to leave. Living with strangers...fuck.
"Hey," someone opened the door. Is it a roommate? A woman chewing on a lollipop? And why is she dressed so casually? She wore a T-Shirt with controller sign carved on it while also wearing shorts. "You a beta tester?"
"I-I am, yeah. I guess I am."
She stepped closer. He can see her cleavage, for god's sake. Wear something decent! "Answer me. Are. You. A. Beta. Tester?" Her voice seemed cold for some reason.
No, maybe because he didn't answer with confidence? Aaron broke out a cold sweat. "Y-yes, ma'am. Aaron Roosevelt, a pleasure to meet you."

"Me too," she said pulling back. Now that he took a closer look, she doesn't seem that tall. In fact, he was a neck taller than her. This is bad. He wasn't at all good with having a conversation with other people let alone girls. Even though her stare was pretty much-piercing cold, her brunette ponytail hair was enough to allure him.
"Excuse me," Aaron paused. "Are you a--"
"Beta Tester. Lina Miles," She said as she offered him a lollipop out of her mouth. "Want some?"
"You," he grimaced. "You're a slut, aren't you?"
Her eyes twitched. "You fucker! I was just teasing you!"
Yep. He deserved a slap on his face. Even Aaron himself couldn't agree more.

I'm a (not so) humble alley cat that found a portal to a fantasy world. The system immediately gave me self-awareness and taught me the meaning of words.

Follow my journey as I wage a bloody vendetta against the dog headed kobolds and any other dog-like creature I happen to enounter. Also, treats and chin scratches are used to bribe me into helping hapless cat eared people. Other adventures await! Warning: Gore tag is serious. People get eaten by monsters. Monsters get eaten too. Lots of blood. Not for the faint of heart. Cover Art by kgy121 of Experimental Wuxia Novel Disclaimer: The views portrayed by characters in this novel are not the author's own.

Witchbone: The Goblins Winter
Themes found in these stories include friendship, found family, defying negative expectations, trying to figure out how to be a force for good in your corner of the world, doing heroic things even if you don't look or feel like a hero, and that being different isn't necessarily fatal. Summary: A spell of arctic weather. A mysterious death. The reading of a will. Strange tracks in the snow. Eleven-year-old Danny Hallow accepts his life, such as it is. His father is dead, his mother left years ago. His three Keepers are the only people aware of Danny's erratic and not-very-impressive psychic abilities. He has no friends, he's been suspended from school, and he's responsible for the life of a small brown bat that's ended up in his care. When Danny's estranged Uncle Enoch dies under mysterious circumstances, he and his Keepers are called to the town of Eddystone, New Hampshire for the reading of the man's will. Traveling four hundred miles from his dreaded hometown to attend, Danny is happy to get away, possibly inherit something interesting- and maybe find out more about his family while he's there. Arriving at the crumbling family estate of Gnomewood Home, he finds it to be hauntingly familiar, a bit creepy, oddly comforting, and possibly alive. When his uncle's will reveals that he's inherited Gnomewood and everything in it, he's determined to stay and make a happier life for himself in Eddystone, somehow. But at Gnomewood, he finds more questions than answers to his family's secrets. Disturbing old memories come to him in dreams. His psychic abilities begin to grow stronger, and as a result he becomes aware that a horde of cryptic creatures are plaguing the town of Eddystone, seemingly drawn out by the spell of an unusually frigid February. Toothy little goblins that are sneaky, vicious, and hungry. Goblins that take a particular interest in Danny. Will the emergence of the alien, and potentially dangerous, power he's inherited from his peculiar family tree help Danny survive the goblin infested winter, inadvisable attempts to befriend a terrifying boy with silver eyes, and a new school? Only if he learns to control them before they put him and everyone around him in danger. Before they convince some people that he should never have been allowed to exist at all. Before he becomes just another twisted tale in his family's bizarre history, kept hidden for centuries within the ivy-covered walls of Gnomewood Home.
