It was the end of the school day. You had just bid farewell to Hu Tao and were headed towards the school exit.
On your way there, you saw a familiar figure. You could recognize the messy teal hair from miles away. It was none other than Xiao.
However, he was standing with someone you did not recognize. The man had long brown hair tied into a ponytail and wore a beige sweater with black pants. He was also incredibly tall.
They both appeared to be talking. You debated whether to approach them or not. But after internally arguing with yourself for several minutes, you decided to just approach them.
"Hello Xiao," you waved at him as he glanced at you sideways, a bit surprised by your sudden appearance.
"Hey," he greeted you back while turning his head to face you.
You looked over at the other man who seemed rather shocked to see you. "Who is this?" The man asked the shorter male.
"Y/n. They joined my club recently," Xiao answered abruptly, not elaborating any further.
The man nodded his head and glanced back at you. "Hello, Y/n. I go by Zhongli. I am Xiao's guardian."
You raised both of your brows at the sudden realization. "Ohh so you're Zhongli."
However, the man gave you strange vibes. He seemed to have recognized you but you didn't recall ever seeing him before.
Perhaps you were just overthinking this and the man was simply surprised to another friend of Xiao's. Or maybe Xiao talked about you to him before, who knows.
You shook your head, trying to remove the thoughts. "Anyway, I'll let you guys be now. Bye bye," you bid farewell and turned to leave.
You could hear Xiao quietly say "bye" from behind as you continued walking.

i heard you're into bad girls/boys
and i must say.
i'm pretty bad myself
did you sleep enough last night
yes, why
you don't seem like you're in your right mind rn
wow.
i was just trying to start a convo ok
there's better ways to start convos
that's surprising coming from you
wdym
you never start convos
this entire time, i've been the one always texting first smh
bcuz you choose to speak to me
i don't
are you saying you don't want to talk to me
i didn't say that
ig
so you do want to talk to me
no
i'm taking that as a yes
btw i wanted to ask
how do you view me
just curious to know
how do i view you?
yeah
if you could describe me in 3 words
what 3 words would you choose
annoying, weird, and dumb
aw i think i'm funny, amazing, and unique too!!
sure
fr tho.
is that actually how you view me
huh
why are you asking this
like i said, i'm just curious
i mean if you really do find me annoying, i could leave you alone
i don't want to keep bothering you
are you stupid, no
SO YOU DON'T ACTUALLY THINK I'M LIKE THAT??
shut up
i knew it
you do love me after all 🥺
wtf no i don't "love" you
mhm
what if i said ily tho
what
as a friend of course!
don't love me
why not
bcuz you shouldn't
what
are you being emo again
i'm being serious y/n
you don't know much about me, so it's best to keep your distance
then i want to know more abt you
no you don't
yes i do
why?
bcuz i care, why else
if something keeps telling you to not be friends with me, i'd like to know what that is
Advertisement
not forcing you tho, of course if it's personal you don't need to tell
the last thing i want is to involve you in my own personal matters
i mean i understand if you're not comfortable with telling me
but if you're worrying that whatever you say will somehow end up hurting me, you shouldn't
i can guarantee you i'm ok with it
why do you suddenly wish to know more abt me?
that should be obvious but i'll let you figure it out
alright
so. what do you say
i'll consider it
okk
Seen at 4:32pm

hu
yeah what's up
did you say anything to y/n abt me
huh no why
they were acting weird
weird how
they asked to know more abt me
but were more insistent abt it this time
ohh
did you tell them anything
i said i'd consider it
well if you want to tell them abt it, you should
i don't want to involve them with me
why?
i mean i could understand why
but y'know, it wouldn't hurt anyone
they'd probably view me differently if i did
and if we were to get close, they'd probably get hurt
i'm not exactly a kind person like they are
i don't think that
they're not the type of person to judge how you are
and if they were, they wouldn't be texting you in the first place
even if that's true, i still doubt it'll have a positive outcome
only one way to find out, right?
tho you seem pretty fond of them 😋
you usually never care so much abt what others think
no you're wrong
i'm simply debating whether i should tell them or not, that's all
besides, it's not like i want to get closer to them
are you sure 🤨
then why are you considering telling them
bcuz they are insistent on knowing
but if you don't want to tell them, they won't mind if you don't
unless you do want to get closer to them 👻
stfu no i don't
well. it's completely up to you whether you want to tell them more abt you or not
you haven't told them abt the accident, right?
no
are you going to
idk
of course that's up to you as well
ima suggest giving yourself time to think abt it
but just letting you know, y/n isn't the type of person to judge ppl abt that sort of thing
i'll think abt it then ig
good luck on whatever you do
yea alr thanks

The Monster Inside: The First Vampire
Despite appearances, there was once a time where monsters did not exist. Where peace and prosperity reigned over all life. But those sinful and demonic forces that had hidden themselves in the shadows just couldn't help themselves could they? They wanted a piece of that prosperity too. They wanted to taint it, corrupt it, revel in its dark side.This is the story of a boy who was tainted. Of a boy who unintentionally bore a seed of sin and who in his naivety let it out. This is the story of how that boy was shamed and disgraced. Of how he was outcast for simply being. This is the story of how that boy learned to embrace the darkness that made him different. A darkness that would later make him known as the Lord of Night. Note to Reader: I understand this book is not for everyone, if there is a writer that can write to please everyone, I have never heard of them. The MC can be frustrating in his decisions as he learns to grow and accept what and who he is. I believe this reality is unavoidable. That being said, if you feel the need to give a review, please do so, just know that I will report you if all that review seems to do is blab toxic language and insult my literary choices without giving constructive advice or alternatives. That's not just a me policy, that's a policy of this website. I'm not writing this note because I'm a writer who does not acknowledge that there are faults in my work. I know there are. That's what happens when it hasn't been professionally edited by someone other than the author. I'm saying this because I'm sick of reading 1 star or 0.5 star rated reviews that seem to do nothing but hate on the book because they don't like the story. No comments on grammar, ways to improve or suggestions for better story arcs. Just plain hate. It's not on, and I frankly shouldn't have to write this note, but needed to get it off my chest. In saying all that, thank you to those who do leave reviews that don't fall into the above category. Your appreciation of my work, or alternatively, your willingness to give advice for improvement, is appreciated.

Scholar of the Fog
Leaving a trail of blood as he climbed up a hill, his limbs felt like lead. He was gasping too, his lungs burning with every step he took. It felt like a bundle of broken glass was scraping away the inner walls of his flesh. He was dying, obvious to both him and his pursuers. And it would not be long till he dropped dead as he bled away. If not, the people chasing him would surely finished what they had came for. It was as if the Gods themselves had already predestined his fate. He took one step forward and stood at the peak of the hill. He let his legs rest as he could barely go on. Heaving deep breaths, he could hear sneering voices and shouts behind him. They were close, and the grim realization stoked the embers of his most primal fear. He did not want to die. He had dreams, like any other youth. There was glory to be had in this world. He wanted to learn more of life, and lived through its motions. He wanted to live. He swept his gaze, and across him was a spanning forest of old. With a glint in his eyes, and jaws clenched, he decided to gamble with all he had. He was dying, and by now, it did not matter where his grave was. He ran down the hill, and stopped where the plains and the forest met. His eyes swept about the trees, and he could feel an instinctual urge to drag himself away. He knew what this forest was, and here, he would find his salvation. Or his doom. The voices behind him grew closer, and among the noise was the faint clanging of steel. Gritting his teeth, he ousted all the will he had from the depths of his soul and stepped forth into the forest. Damned he be by the Gods if they wanted him dead. -new synopsis 10/6/2016 ---------- A new chapter would be released every friday. And the quality of writing should improve each time, hopefully. Another important thing to mention is how the story as of now, is only a bedrock for a massive world if it ever gets there. (CH18) And if possible, reviews are very much appreciated. ---------- For the ones who are interested in the old synopsis: With one foot in the grave, he ran away for that little bit of hope. Exhausted and bleeding, it was only a matter of time until he passed out. By then, his fate would be sealed and he would be no more. Thus, he had to make a decision that might just save his life. It was a gamble, he knew, but he had no He ran into the forbidden forest where no man had ever come back. He headed within, intending to scare his pursuers away. But they persisted in their chase, hounding him down until he was forced to take a step of no return. There, in the darkest depths of the forest, was the ghastly fog and behind him where men who wanted his head. Left with nothing else, he stepped forth and crossed the boundary of the living and the dead. Henceforth, his fate was forever changed. No longer just a scholar, but something more…
