《Energy: A Lloyd Garmadon Fanfic》~Chapter Fifteen~
Advertisement
You laugh as you race down the neighborhood on your bike. Today, Jason came over and he thought you two should have a bike ride through the neighborhood. Well it ended up being a competitive race to see who would make it to the end of the street. Jason was in the lead and you didn't want him to win. Firstly, it was your neighborhood, your turf. You couldn't let him win.
You petted faster and you were riding at the same speed as him. "Finally decided to catch up huh Alex!" He says and you stick your tongue out at him. Eventually Jason made it before you and he won. You two stopped your bikes and got off them. Jason cheered while you folded your arms.
"Ha! Too slow Alex! Look who's turf it is now!" He boasts and you scoff. "Please, I've seen little girls petal bikes better than you." You say with a smirk and he gasps. "Well, you're just mad cause I made it here first!" "Haha mad? I'm just saving yourself from embarrassment if you ever decide to join the Tour De Ninjago!" You say with a chuckle and get back on your bike.
"Whatever." "Haha c'mon! Let's go back to my house." You say as you start peddling away. "Hey! Head Starts! No fair!!" Jason said as he gets on his bike and catches up to you. "Fair? Fair isn't a word from where I come from." You said, remembering the Fritz Donagan line from the comic book Lloyd read to you a couple days ago. While biking, you couldn't help but smile and blush as you ended up thinking about Lloyd again.
You've been doing that lately, blushing while you thought of Lloyd. You weren't sure of why. You snapped out of your thoughts when you heard Jason chuckle. "Whatcha thinking about?" Your heart starts racing in panic as you couldn't tell him that it was just Lloyd you were thinking of. But luckily, you two arrived at your house. "Oh would ya look at that! Home at last! Haha." You say as you get off your bike and open the garage up to put your bike away.

"Ooh, changing the subject. You must've thought of something real good!" Jason says leaning his bike against the house. You blush and close the garage door. "It's no big deal. Just a thought." You said and go inside the house with Jason following you in. "Oh no, it was more than a thought. You were blushing and grinning! It's big." He says with a smirk. You sit yourself on the couch.
What were you supposed to tell him?! He'd take it the wrong way and you didn't want that. You knew you had to get your mind straight, Jason was your boyfriend. Lloyd was merely your partner on a mission who you are now friends with. You had to get that straight. Any more slips and Jason surely would get suspicious.
"Fine. I was uhm, thinking about the time you tripped over your bike and your shirt ripped open! Yeah that." You lied. Jason sits next to you and puts his arm around you. "Haha oh yeah I remember that. That's what was so big?!" "Mhm. I dunno, we were riding bikes and it kinda reminded me of that memory."
One hour later, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." You say and go to the door. When you open the door you were surprised to see who it was. "Hey Alex!" Lloyd says giving you that side smile he always does. "Oh! Lloyd! What are you doing here?!" You asked trying to remain calm. "Oh I thought we could hang out today. I tried calling you but you weren't answering." He said.
"Ohh okay. Well haha uh-" "Lloyd! Haha how are ya buddy?!" Jason says and comes over to give Lloyd a highfive. "Oh uh, hi Jason. Did I come at a bad time?" Lloyd asks with his smile disappearing. "Oh no it's cool! We were just...hanging out." You said feeling bad all of a sudden. You then looked between Lloyd and Jason. You felt as if you were starting to feel different about both of them.

"Oh ok. Well I'll just text you later. You two have fun." Lloyd says with a small smile. You nodded then watched as he walked off. You closed the door feeling lots of things. Feeling bad for Lloyd, butterflies from Jason, and even butterflies from Lloyd. "He's a really chill guy!" Jason says and you can't help but smile.
Lloyd sat on his Green Ninja Cycle, still hasn't zoomed off yet. Lloyd was also feeling a lot of things but just wasn't sure about it. He was confused about his feelings. He felt a little jealous of Jason. Lloyd didn't hate Jason, he was a nice guy and he seemed to get along well with Lloyd.
Why did he feel jealous of him? Lloyd also felt sad. But his sadness had to do something with Alex. Lloyd sighed and knew he should probably head back to his uncle's monastery. Lloyd started the engine and zoomed off. Maybe he'd get over everything when he got there.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art?
