hi i'm writing bc it's the only thing that's taking my mind off the fact school starts tmr for me :/
i'm nervous abt everything lowkey tbh i've never needed a hit so bad in my life 😭
-
my eyes blink open and for the first minute of my day i look around, confused, because where am i?
and then i spot my bags that sit in front of a little mirror in my bedroom, slowly i realize i'm in my room.
i'm in Australia, in my room, and somewhere in this house is austin.
wait but i didn't walk into my room last night to go back to bed, the only thing different is that my shoes are off and my zip up is resting on a chair in the corner of my room.
austin carried me from the car.
i feel bad because he had to do that and carry my bags.
but also i remember he's like completely ripped or at least he used to be.
i turn my head, looking to my left to see a digital clock on my nightstand.
it reads six-forty-three am.
knowing i won't be able to fall asleep, i get up from the bed, walking to my largest suitcase.
opening it i take out black tight fitted leggings and a matching sports bra.
i remember baz mentioning something about this place having its own mini gym?
i don't know but we'll find out.
after slipping on the outfit and tying my hair up, i venture out into the hallway, not knowing where to go.
i walk down the stairs and the house just keeps getting bigger.
finally i come across an empty hallway that has a clear glass door, i look inside and i see one treadmill, a weight lifting bench and a few other things.

smiling, i open the door.
to the left is a mini fridge stocked with water bottles, i grab one and i head over to the treadmill.
thankfully they had water or i would've forgotten.
i put in my AirPods before turning it on i put it at four mph with an incline of two, slowly i increase both.
unfortunately i have to work out almost every day to keep my 'model body' in shape.
i'm used to waking up early considering i have to in order to fit working out into my schedule.
i don't know how long i'm on the treadmill but it has to be around fifty minutes before i stop.
i take a sip of my water and i sit on a bouncy ball that they have for yoga or something, occasionally wiping off the layer of sweat that coats my forehead with a clean towel i found rolled up.
finishing my water, i get up and i walk to the door, throwing it out.
i grab my phone and everything else i brought with me before exiting the gym.
it's almost eight so i wouldn't be surprised if austin is up already.
i walk into the kitchen which is pretty easy to spot, and i head to the coffee maker that sits in the corner.
i don't even notice the man sitting at the island with a cup of coffee in his hand, curiously staring at me.
noticing that coffee is already made i frown and turn around, gasping when i finally spot austin.
his brow quirks upwards and i put my hand on my heart, trying to stop it from beating so hard.
"jesus you scared me." i whisper and i see he smiles at bit.
finally noticing his attire, he sits in grey sweats with a black tight fitted shirt on, his hair is very messy but he doesn't seem to care.

i shake the thoughts out of my head and i turn around, making myself a cup of coffee.
"how long have you been awake?" he asks.
"since like seven, couldn't go back to sleep so i decided on working out." i answer.
he doesn't answer so i assume he's nodding.
i turn back around and i walk over to where he's sitting, taking the seat next to him.
he turns to me with a lopsided grin.
"how did you sleep?"
"i slept okay."
"you seemed to be sleeping perfectly fine when i had to carry you up all the stairs, in fact i recall you mumbling something about how comfy my arms are." he says and his grin turns into a smirk.
a very big one.
my eyes nearly pop out of my head and i smack his arm gently, "i did not." i rush out and he touches my cheek with his finger.
"your blushing."
i groan and i throw my face into my hands, covering it.
i stand up from my seat and i place my mug into the sink.
"i'm taking shower." i state before beginning to walk out of the kitchen.
"you sure you don't want me to carry you? wait we wouldn't want you to fall asleep in my comfy arms." he teases and i roll my eyes.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
