《Coffeeshop × Malum》IV. Strawberry Cheesecake
Advertisement
Even the baristas ended up catching on after a while on Michael's little scheme.
"And the same for you, crazy hair boy?" The girl asked before Michael even said a word. He bit his lip and nodded, running his fingers through his unkempt galaxy do.
"Okay. We need two Strawberry Cheesecake's!" The cashier directed towards her coworker.
The brunette beauty just shook his head as they went to make their orders.
"Why do you always copy me?" He spoke up after a moment, curiously.
Michael looked over and retorted, "How do you know you aren't reading my mind and copying me."
He scrunches up his nose in confusion and begins, "What? That doesn't even make sense-" before Michael cuts him off with a shrug.
"You're hot and have a good taste in drinks." He blurts out.
He blushes more furiously than Michael ever saw previously. Honestly, that should have been him considering what he just did.
Regardless, the boy didn't say anything for a moment in shock before he mumbled out, "You don't even know my name."
"Well then, what's your name? I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours."
He hesitated but eventually said. "It's Calum."
"Calum... that's nice, it fits you."
Calum snorted. "Well thanks, I guess. What's yours?" Michael was about to reply, but he continued, "No wait. Let me guess. Your name's Calum too?"
It took Michael a second to understand his joke, but when he did he replied back with equal sarcasm. "How'd you know!?" He gasped.
Calum just shook his head again. "Really though?"
"Okay, you're right. I'm not honored enough to be a Calum. My name's Michael. Or crazy hair boy apparently to everyone else." He grinned and held out a hand for Calum to shake.

Calum offered his hand in return. Michael definitely didn't take note of how firm and calloused, yet still soft, it was.
"Well, they're not wrong. But I think it looks cool." He replied, smiling and scanning his eyes over his colorful locks.
"Thank you. It's not as cool as it was a couple of weeks ago though. It's fading, I need to dye it again soon. Guess I should have started bothering you earlier, you could have seen it in it's prime."
Calum laughed a bit, "It still looks nice. Are you dyeing it that way again?"
"I don't know yet. Just like your drinks, I usually get something different each time. Trying to do them all." He smirked.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
