~~2 months later~~
"Good Morning Miss Angel" says a woman to me, "Hello" I smile at her as I shake her hand. The woman is petite with short blond hair, the way she moves is smooth and elegant like a dancer. "My name is Miss. Penny, I am Mr. Hamiltons personal assistant" she motions me to follow her as she leads me further into the building. "So you are applying for Mrs.Smith's position?" She asks her curious silver eyes catch mine "for the second assistant yes" I say as I followed her down a long white hallway.
I have no idea why but Miss. Penny seemed to not like me for some reason. I had found this job opportunity online while I was in the hospital, I knew I would need a new job quickly. Jane offered her home to me and the girls for as long as we need, since I had lost our apartment due to me not being there to pay the bill.
The job I decided to interview for was a position at a big shot business company called Earth INC. They provide all international trade between the kingdom's. Anything worth trading for Earth INC takes care of. The leader of the company is the king alpha of the earth kingdom, I know working so close to the king might not be the best idea but the pay would get me and the girls anything we needed.
Miss. Penny led me to a set of huge Metal doors, "one minute please miss" she knocked on the door "Mr. Hamilton your 2 pm interview has arrived" she says and a voice from inside boomed threw the closed doors "send her In" he says.
The door slides open like a sliding door, I walked into the room the door sliding shut behind me, "take a seat miss" says the voice I assume is Alpha Hamilton's. I walked to the seat and slowly sit down, the room over looked the earth kingdom's many mountains and beautiful wildlife.

In the center of the room was his huge desk a chair facing out toward the towering windows. He turns his chair toward me, he is definitely known for his ruggisly handsome looks. He is a very muscular man, tall and intimidating. His beard and shaggy black hair hide his face, his piercing green eyes connect with mine "Well let's begin".
The interview took hours at the end he knew just about everything there is to know about me, well at least Angel. I had a good feeling when I left the building, he had reassured me that at the end of the day some one will contact me and let me know if I was chosen for the job or not.
It was about 6 when I got back to Jane's house, Jane had inherited her house from her grandmother. It was a cute modest 3 bedroom home with a white picket fence feel to it.
When I walked in I was greeted by my over excited little sister Willow. "Hey sweety" I hug her tightly "How are my sisters?" She asks, I smile at her. I had tought her to call them sisters so Jane wouldn't suspect anything. "They are getting better, did you have fun in class today?" I ask her she nodded excitedly "I even painted a picture today" she said "that's good sweety you should hang it up on the fridge" she smiles really big and runs to Jane to ask if she could.
That night When I finished reading Willow a story and tucking her in, I thanked Jane for helping me out again tonight and headed to the hospital to see my girls.
My girls seemed to be so much more livly when I arrived, I spend my nights at the hospital every other night but I visit them every day. I talk to them and sing to them I also help with diaper changes, my favorite part is kangaroo care. Kangaroo care is when I can hold my babies I cried when I held them the first time. My love for these two is already so great I can't wait till I can take them home.

"Nurse?" I said as the nurse finished with one of the nightly check ups, "yes ma'am?" She turns to look at me. "Is there any news today?" I ask "yes actually, we are zoning in on the date the girls can come home, they are putting on weight and are becoming healthier by the day" she smiles. "When do you think?" I ask "I can't be 100% sure but we are shooting for about two months". Her words filled me with happiness I finally had date when they might come home to me.
*buzz* *buzz* *buzz*
My phone brought me out of my thoughts I quickly answered it, "hello?". "Yes is this Miss. Angel?" A feminine voice asked "yes" I said "Mr. Hamilton wanted me to inform you that you start tomorrow at 8 sharp if you still want the job" she said "yes ma'am I still want the job, thank you for the opportunity" I say. "Okay I will see you at 8am tomorrow, be professionally dressed, oh and you get paid weekly and since tomorrow is Friday you won't get one till next week" she informs me them the line goes dead.
I'm super excited about getting my new job in no time I'll have a place for my girls to come home to, and a good home for Willow. I feel bad that I haven't gotten to spent a lot of time with her lately, but I promised her we would have a girls day just me and her really soon.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
