Two weeks.
Two weeks passed without seeing Singto's face made Krist wonder. He had seen him after the championship but that was the last time. Coach said that he was a bit busy with his personal trainings but that doesn't make Krist heart a little less at ease. He didn't know why- he was excited to come to practice but everytime he did, he was dissapointed. Singto didn't show up to their meetings anymore, he didn't even come to pick his father up from work anymore-not that Krist know because he didn't purposely stayed late with the coach to see that face he wanted to see so much.

"I don't know what you're watching but you seems to be enjoying the movie." the voice besides him scared the hell out of him. He soothes his chest and turned to the owner of the voice who laughs at his actions.
"I hope you're prepared to be haunted by my soul when I die." he said earning a bigger laughter from the two lovebirds.
"Awww.. Don't say that.. You know I hate ghosts." Gun said earning a glare from Krist.
"What do you guys want?" he asked looking far to the sky again. When he didnt hear any responds, he turned to the two only to find out that they were, too, looking at the same direction as him, trying to find out what he was watching that made him so focused. Krist gave a loud smack on his friends' head earning a painful groan from the two.
"My head~" Gun whined making Off who was, too, rubbing his head, turned his attention fully to his boyfriend. It was funny, the way their relationship works. Off often look like he doesn't care and he rarely shows any affections towards Gun, eventhough Gun always does. He always just lets Gun do whatever he wants but he rarely ever responds to the sweet gestures. There were times when he initiated the act but only to pull back when he saw a lot of people staring at them. Don't get him wrong, he loves Gun, probably more than he loves himself and he's not afraid to admit, or even show that. But he doesn't really want their affections to be shown in public, he thinks that it's supposed to be just between the two of them alone. But he never minded whenever Gun throws himself to him because he secretly loves it eventhough he didn't want to admit it out loud to Gun. Whenever in those rare times, he initiated sweet acts in public, Gun would always get flustered. Gun would get all shy and that's what makes him do it once in a while. Gun would always look like a flustered baby, with his pale face and red cheeks and Off loves them a lot-not that Gun needs to know that.

"I'll get you ice cream." Off said, with a tone no one would understand the meaning behind it but Gun does. Gun pouting was Off's biggest weakness and everytime it happens, Off would always finds a way to make the pout go away, with his own weird way. To be honest, Gun doesn't need ice cream, but he loves it when Off does that because it shows that Off really do care about him even if it was just because of a light smack on his head.
"You guys are so weird." Krist uttered watching the retreating back of his best friend, before shaking his head. He turned to the sky again. Gun didn't say anything and just stared at the same direction Krist did.
"Have you ever felt like you want to see someone so bad? That you find yourself looking for the person everywhere even in the impossible places?" Krist broke the silence after a few minutes. Gun looked at him with confused eyes.
"You like someone?" he asked. Krist sighed.
"I don't know. I have no idea." he replied with another sigh. Then there's silence again. Krist was debating whether or not to tell Gun about what he felt. He knows Gun won't judge him. Gun is a very responsible person despite his baby-like appearance. That's why he's the only person who can handle and get into a romatic relationship with a crazed mind like Off. He somehow could tame Off's crazy head.
"You know, when I first met Off, I never knew I would end up dating him. He was the most craziest person I've ever met in my entire life." he said and and he heard Krist snickers at the remarks.
"Yeah.. tell me about it." Krist smiled and he shakes his head. Gun smiled too, looking far in front.

"Yeah.. It was insane. I had to take a class and ended up in the same group with him. Imagine having to work with a lunatic like him when I'm trying to score for the damn subject. At that time, I actually wondered what I had done in my past life to receive this kind of punishment." he paused and laughed for a while before continuing. ".... To much surprise, he was actually a good partner. He helped me finish the work, we stayed back to finish the assigned task to us, did the research together, and finally finished the work. After everything ended, and we entered school again the next year, we would only smile at each other whenever we meet in the hall. I don't really know why we were awkward when we literally spent the whole year together. I started to get anxious and I always wonder what he was doing when I couldn't see him. Off got accepted to the team that year and it was harder for me to even see him during lunch break or after school since he was always with you guys. I wasn't too sure with my feelings at that time but one thing for sure is that I wanted to see him. I wanted to always be with him. I wanted to talk to him, see him smile, listen to his obnoxious jokes and even hear him talks for hours. That was what I wanted the most that time. That's why I applied for the manager's spot in the club in the first place." he paused again. Krist stared at him with focused eyes. Somehow Gun's story brings a little light for him.
"I don't what you're going through right now, but I can assure you that I know you will go through this. Follow your heart and you'll be happy.. Off did and I know you will too." Gun smiled at him before patting his shoulder and went away to find his beloved.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
