Special thanks to you all for your support on this book and Magnificent as well. I love you all
If your username isn't there I'm sorry but I love y'all equally and thank you so much
"NO! I'm not leaving Lee. You can leave but I'm not. Mom needs me too" Daniel shook his head making me look at Shelby for help.
I rubbed my tired eyes, before throwing my hands up in exhaustion "That's all I can do. You can stay here if you want. I'll be at work, though I'll come once in a while to check up on you, Lee and Rie. Be good ok?" I said to which he nodded.
I held her hands in mine before bringing them to my lips, giving her hands a kiss each. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I asked looking up at her in adoration
"Not really romantic but it'll do. I'd love to be your girlfriend" she said and a smile broke unto my face. I brought her in for a kiss before pulling away "Wow" she smiled
"He proved reluctant at first" the blonde man next to the dark brown haired guy said. "So we had to take him by force" he said eyeing the dark brown haired guy
"Of course I was. I had no idea where you were taking me and you never did tell me. All you did was ask me to follow you when I said no you didn't leave me alone then seconds later I was being dragged on the ground, into mud before you shoved me into a car decorating my face with a bruises" the dark brown haired guy rolled his eyes
"I told my guys to bring you here for business purpose" I tucked my hands in my pockets watching as his eyes glanced across the room for a while before turning to me
"What sort of business?" he asked skeptically
"All you have to do is tell them that for the sacrifice they'll use the person he used to like when he had his memory which is Riele. Then you'll say all she as to do is kill herself, understood?" I asked in an authoritative voice
I opened the door to Mary's room just to find her and her appointed babysitter laughing their asses off. I got in and as quiet as I could, I shut the door but I guess I wasn't that quiet because immediately their heads snapped in my direction.

I saw Mary's eyes widen in fear; On instinct her hand flew to her long hair, twiddling with it in anxiety. "How are you?" I asked the little girl totally disregarding the sitter. She moved her eyes from my line of sight then bit her bottom lip before speaking
"Oh I'm fine. Of course I would be totally fine seeing as I have been kidnapped for at least two weeks now. Yes! I'm absolutely fine" she replied sharply as her eyes snapped in my direction, glaring at me even though she still had her hand playing with the tip of her hair
I looked at the sitter signalling with my eyes for her to leave and immediately she bolted out the door leaving the girl and I alone. "You could've just said that you weren't fine. That would've been more..." I paused eyeing her before continuing "...ladylike" I rolled my eyes walking over to the white chair in the room where the sitter had once sat
"Doesn't matter. Now what do you want?" she asked, narrowing her eyes at me as I took my sit.
"Oh nothing. I just wanted to have a little chit-chat with you" I said crossing my right leg over my left one with my intertwined fingers resting on them
She glared her eyes at me "What little chit-chat do you want to have with me?" she asked putting air quotes on the words chit-chat. Her brown eyes now gleaming with anger
"Just wanted to inform you about you mother's condition. I'm sure you'll be interested in knowing about her current situation, wouldn't you?" I smirked as her eyes lit up with joy before snapping back to their former state. She nodded her head giving me a go ahead to speak as a scowl planted itself on her face.
"I'm sorry to say it but she's in the hospital" I said in fake sympathy. The scowl on her face was now replaced by a big frown. 'Damn girls and their fluctuating emotions' I rolled my eyes
"What? How? When did it happen?" she asked in panic as she stood up from the side of the room she was in and approached me. Then she growled in anger, her brown pupils becoming darker slightly, out of anger "What did you do?"
I clicked my teeth with my tongue "I didn't do anything this time, honestly. It was your mom's friend that did that to her" I said watching as her eyes began to cloud with confusion making me chuckle

"Which of her friends?" she asked but I was done talking. I stood up from the chair then approached the door only to stop as she pleaded "Please tell me, I'll do anything" she cried, her hands grabbing a fist full of the plaid shirt she had on, in fright
I barked out in laughter "Watch your tongue kitten. Don't just propose things you won't be able to do especially to people like me but don't worry, I'll take your offer into consideration" and with that I shut the door
I smiled as I closed the door to the house as Shelby left. The things we did still fresh in my head. Her moans kept on replaying in my mind which did nothing to help my current situation as my little friend was as awake as ever.
I could still feel her lingering taste on my tongue making me shudder in pleasure. I was cut off connection from cloud nine as the door bell rang. Thinking it was Shelby, I ran to the door as fast as I could
Swinging it open, I came face to face with Ella. She pushed past me into the house screaming for Riele. "RIELE. WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? I NEED TO BORROW YOUR CLOTHES FOR A DATE I'M HAVING" she screamed at the top of her lungs making me wonder if she could feel any burning sensation in her chest from how loud she was
I closed the door behind me before approaching her "What's going on?" I asked but she ignored me still screaming for Riele, slightly irritating me
"SHE'S NOT FREAKING HERE" I yelled and thankfully she shut her mouth but narrowed her ocean eyes at me.
"Where is she? And why aren't the boys down yet?" she asked, her hands finding their ways into the front pockets of her red knickers. Her black with white striped trainers tapped against the tiled floor impatiently.
"She's in the hospital. Lee got poisoned, he is in the hospital as well with Daniel keeping him company" I explained watching as different emotions swarm in her blue orbs. Her hands flew to her lip gloss coated mouth in surprise
"What happened?" she asked as one-by-one tears dropped from her eyes. I then explained everything to her and as I did more tears flowed down her face. Once I was done, she began to shake with rage.
Her hand reached into the back pockets of her knickers, pulling out her phone before hurriedly calling someone. She brought her phone up to her ear, muttering a few curse words as the phone rang
The person picked up because she began to scream "Come to Riele's house now. Something's wrong" she said before hanging up. She did this a couple more times before I heard the door bell ring.
I ran to open the door and immediately several people came in, specifically Riele's friends. "What happened El?" Jade asked as she held unto Sean's hands in fright. Sean's face twisted into that of pain which would've been amusing if we weren't in this current situation
"Lizzy. That's what happen. Because of Lizzy Riele is in the hospital right now suffering from an heart attack" Ella said tugging at her mass of dark brown hair as Carl tried calming her down by rubbing her back. Everyone in the room except Ella and I gasped
"How?" an unfamiliar dark skinned lady said. Her black curls of hair were up in a mussy bun with few strands of it falling over her eyes. She was in a simple floral printed gown, which rested just a few centimetres above her knees, with a plain blue background
"She had an accident before, resulting to her being unable to walk for two months then she failed to let us all know, she told us to which we were all cool about but Lizzy clearly wasn't cool about it so she sent a resignation letter to Riele saying if Riele couldn't trust her enough to tell her things then she shouldn't trust her enough to run her company. That plus the situation at that time resulted to Riele having an heart attack. Now she's in the hospital" Ella explained.
The dark skinned lady had her brown eyes wide open in surprise "B-But where are the boys? and Mary?" she asked, her eyes beginning to water
"One problem at a time Karla" Ella warned before her attention shifted to mine. "Can you take us to the hospital?" she asked to which I nodded.
And that was how we all shoved ourselves into cars with me leading the way to the hospital with Ella and Carl while Jade, Sean and the other lady, whose name I learnt was Karla, were behind me in their car
Hey guys, sorry for the long wait. Honestly I wasn't in the mood to update but I was encouraged to. Hope you guys liked this, if not then I'm sorry

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.

Unlimited Evolution [New]
“If anything can go wrong, it’ll go wrong”—Alex found the truth of this quote the hard way when his Thursday evening was ruined by a blinding golden light. Thrown to war against his wishes, in a world that was not his own, he didn’t even survive the first day. But, death was not his sweet retreat. It was just the beginning. Reborn as an Imp in the hellscape of a dungeon, Alex’s life just got more complicated. In a place where you are food to other monsters and a lump of EXP to humans… survival was nothing but luxury. But Alex will survive. He will squeeze every last bit of potential from his [System] and work his way up the ladder of the food chain until he is strong enough to step out of his prison. The first step to such a lofty goal is to conquer the menace of goblins. Unlimited Evolution narrates the struggles of a young man from earth who gets the short end of the stick even in a different world. After a betrayal that resulted in his death, he wakes as a monster in a dungeon where even his fellow monsters saw him as nothing but food. The story will be a little slow-paced in the beginning and the battles will be calculated, brutal, and short. The litRPG element will be there and the system plays an important role in world-building. I'll try to explore each and every character I introduce as much as I can. Hopefully, I do a good job in that aspect. **I hope you enjoy this book of mine.**
