《Colliding Ambition》Chapter 18
Advertisement
"Wake up!" A voice booms from outside my door. I walk out of my bathroom and open my door to be met with Chase.
"What's up?" I ask walking away from the door and back to my bathroom. I take off the towel from around my neck and dry my hair. I hear Chase walk into the bathroom, stopping at the doorway.
"Want to go to the arena with me, to watch the hockey taps for Sunday's game?" He asks. I take the towel away from my head and lean onto the counter, looking at Chase through the mirror.
"For the game against Harter?"
"Mhm, I wanna look at their play. You down?" He asks again.
I shrug, "Sure why not." I look down at my phone, it's 10am and I have no plans for the day.
"Got it, I'll be waiting in the kitchen. We can take my car." He says before leaving. I go back to drying my hair with a towel
After I'm satisfied it's not dripping wet, I go to my dresser and pull out cargo pants, a tee and hoodie.
I walk downstairs and into the kitchen where Chase is eating cereal. "Let's go." I say going into the cabinet and grabbing a protein bar.
Fifteen minutes later we're parking in the lot of the arena. I called coach to ask if we could come and he said that we can since the arena is already unlocked which confused me, but then I see Katherine's pick up in the lot.
"Kitty's here?" Chase voices my thought as we walk through the doors.
At the thought of Katherine here sends strange shit to my mind and chest. Last time I saw her was when I taught her how to cook. What she hadn't noticed was how hard my dick was almost the entire time.
"I guess so." I say, as we go towards the lounge room where we usually watch games, mostly NHL games, but sometimes before games we like to watch the other teams older games.
Chase goes directly to the sofa while I go to the computer. I click on a couple things, eventually clicking on one of Harter games. I walk off and on the other sofa since Chase is laying on the other one.

We're 45 minutes in and were getting heated loud conversations about the game and team itself. "That play should've been a penalty." I shout at the television.
"Yo that's the second time he does that, watch out for him Rohan." Then on the television shows a speeding player going for a goal, and it misses because the opposite team got it, the Harter player who had it goes for him. "Fuck." Chase shouts.
Then I see movement at the corner of my eye. I look over and back at the tv but swivel back at the doorway. My breath hitches. Katherine is standing in the doorway with a humorous look on her face, which tells me she heard us yelling.
She's wearing black leggings, white sneakers, a Delcour hoodie and her hair is wet which tells me she just had a shower. She's also wearing her glasses. But my mind zero's on on how her long golden blonde hair is drying in a wavy manner.
Her pink-red lips in a smile. Her vivid blue eyes━that remind me of the ocean, dark blue ocean━darting between me and Chase, the dimple that's on the corner of her mouth as she smiles, her tan skin━even though it's not summer anymore.
And my dick is hard.
But honestly what guy wouldn't get hard looking at Katherine?
"What are you guys yelling about?" She asks, walking in the room and looking at the tv. Then she looks back at us. I try fixing my hard-on while she's looking at Chase.
From the time we started watching the games, we brought in snacks━chips, pastries from the lunch room, some chicken we found in the fridge, soda, protein bars and crackers. The food is scattered all over the couch I'm on and Chases couch.
"We're watching Harter games." Chase says, throwing a popcorn into his mouth. "Come watch, Kitty." He gestures to one of the armchairs, or beanbags or other places to sit.
"I don't know, I should get home, all your yelling will make me deaf." She says smirking, shifting the gym bag on her shoulder.
I guess we were really loud.

I take a bit of a pastry, "Oh c'mon Kitty, your not one of those hockey players who goes into a game without knowing the other team?" I grin.
She glares, "Your kidding, just ask Lexi about the amount of times I've stayed up late watching other teams' games." She walks over to the armchair close to both me and Chase, taking off her gym bag. "Pass the Doritos." She says to me.
I smirk as I throw them to her. She starts eating them while watching the games that are going on.
Were back at shouting, except Katherine has joined the shouting, despite what she said.
Then a player━Hayden Flore, a right winger is shown on the tv, and of course Chase has something to say about him. "I'm pretty sure I hooked up with his girlfriend, while they were together?" He says the last part like a question.
Kathrine wipes her head around to scowl at him, "Oh my god Chase. What the fuck are your sex lives like?" She asks the last part to no one in particular.
I grin, "Ones that girls enjoy."
Chase 'cheers' with his soda.
She looks at me then Chase, going back and forth, "Do I want to know what that means?" She asks reluctantly.
I look at Chase, he grins at me. I look back at Katherine with a grin on my face too. "Let's just say that I━we don't go easy." I say, taking a bite of my cinnamon bun.
Her eyes widen, growing flushed.
"Can't handle it?" I ask, grabbing ketchup chips.
She scoffs, but her cheeks are still red with blush, "Please, you say that like I've never been with a guy." She puts a Dorito into her mouth. "To contradict what you think, I'm not a monk."
Chase pops up, "When was the last you fucked a guy?" He asked, propping onto his elbows.
She looks at him then me, then the bag she's holding. She's thinking, "Um. It was right before I left Columbia, so about a month ago." She gives both of us a pointed look. "When was your last hookups?" She leans back.
Chase doesn't have to think, I know when his last hookup was, I could hear it through the wall. "Yesterday."
I have to think, "Thursday."
"Have you ever had girlfriends?" She asks, throwing a tiny piece into the air and catching it into her mouth.
"Nope." I say right away.
"Two, in high school." Chase responds after me. "Chloe Graves and Ivy Russell."
She looks at me, "Never? Not even in high school?" She looks shocked.
I shake my head, "Never really wanted one, plus hockey took up my time━takes up my time━but hookups aren't as time consuming, their fun, fast, no pressure, no expectations."
She narrows her eyes but doesn't say anything, though I've seen the look on her face━she wants to say something. But she looks back at the tv.
But I'm not done talking, "What about your? Any high school boyfriends?" I'm curious.
She nods, that's it, just nods.
The Chase says what I want to before I could, "Oh c'mon Kitty, we answered your questions." He grins at me, I grin back.
She groans, "I've had about three boyfriends, none were serious enough to get to the 'I love you' stage." She mumbles the last part.
I furrow my brows, "That's it?" I ask.
"Mhm, all in high school. It was hard trying to date, you know, because of my dad. The guys I went out with were usually apart of the hockey crowd, so they'd only date me in hopes to meet my dad, so I stopped seeing hockey players."
"Guys are assholes." Chase says cheerfully.
Me and Katherine look over at him and he's engrossed to the tv. We both burst out laughing.
But soon we're back at watching the games and stuffing our faces.
I'm so glad Coach isn't here, he'd give us shit for eating these snacks.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

THE TIME MACHINE (Completed)
The Time Machine is a science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, published in 1895 and written as a frame narrative. Wells is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel by using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposely and selectively forwards or backward in time. The term "time machine", coined by Wells, is now almost universally used to refer to such a vehicle. The Time Machine has been adapted into three feature films of the same name, as well as two television versions, and a large number of comic book adaptations. It has also indirectly inspired many more works of fiction in many media productions.
