《Backtoliving》Chapter 3 : I don't like this look
Advertisement
POV Cammie
I could feel the tension when Kara and Shannon met each other. Even if Kara isn't the jealous type, I saw the way she looked at Shannon and then at me, saying with her eyes "hey, this is my girlfriend, she is mine, back off". Not that she has something to worry about, I'm in love with Kara, no doubt about it. I still can understand her jealousy: Shannon was a big part of my life, my first love. But now we both moved on, having a stable relationship with another girl. So what's the big deal?
Kara grabs my hand when we walk to the car. Ally and her girlfriend are with us. Them seem really happy. Ally is one of my best friend so I'm genuinely happy for her. Lot of happiness in this car. When I drive, Kara and I start talking.
- Happy to be here? I ask
- Of course, in a beautiful country with a beautiful girl, what more can I ask?
- Too sad you can't stay for 2 weeks
- I know, my boss wouldn't let go, I had to beg just to have one week.
- I know. It is too bad
- You will have time to catch up with Shannon when I'll be far ...
- You know you have nothing to be worried about right?
- I know, just it was weird to meet her. And I don't like the way she looks at you.
- I like when you're being jealous. And how do you think she looks at me?
- With sparks in her eyes...
- You know that she has a girlfriend right?
- So she says...
- Kara
- Yeah I know but still I don't feel comfortable with her. She saw you naked.

I can't help but laugh. Kara ends laughing too.
POV Shannon
I'm in the car with no one else than Rose and Rosie. A nice ride in perspective! For sure we have the best car. I can't help but smile, when I notice the gaze of Rose on me. I don't like this look. Like a shy kid, I ask her if I did anything wrong.
- Where is your girlfriend Shannon?
- She couldn't come, she had something unexpected at work so couldn't manage to free herself.
- Bullshit. You know that I know you so what is going on?
Woo, she looks like an angry protective mom right now. I don't know if I'm terrified or just want to go in her arms to find comfort.
- I don't really want to talk about it. Not now.
Rose and Rosie share an intense gaze. I think they try to communicate without speaking. I can't help but smile. They are cute. They are the best couple on earth. I love them so much. The rest of the way to our rent is spending in silence, just listening to music. I start to think about last night.
- Shannon, would you be my wife?
I know this is time to answer. I am still so uncertain. I don't know what to say. I take her hand in mine and kiss her softly.
- Fletch, you make me happy every day since I met you. You healed my broken heart, helped me to become a better person. There is no way I could ever thank you an off for what you did...
- Here we are!
Rosie seems exhausted. Poor thing, we let her drive all the way. I look outside. It is around midnight. The moon is beautiful and its light is reflected on the sea. This accommodation looks amazing. Rose made us the surprise of renting an amazing villa just two steps from the sea. I can't wait to see inside. Cammie is next to me. I don't even need to look, after all this years she still have the same perfume. It is the one I offered her at our first Valentine's day together. Feel like a century ago.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!
