(Y/n)'s P.O.V.
This meeting went like the others; discussing what we found, still not finding a possibly escape route. There were a few new locations, such as a pool, library, and a warehouse, all of which I had explored already. Once everyone dismissed themselves from the meeting, we all went off to go to our dorm rooms.
Once the next morning had arrived, I arrived at the dining hall just like every other morning. Almost everyone was gathered in the dining hall as well, excluding Byakuya and Taka. Unlike Byakuya, it was unusual to not see Taka in the dining hall on time.
"Mornin', (Y/n)!" Hina shouted as she waved for me to go over to her. I made my way over to Hina who was accompanied by Sakura. "Good morning," I greeted the both of them. "Where is Byakuya and Taka?"
"I dunno, but it's kinda weird for Taka to not be here on time...maybe he is trying to get Byakuya to get outta bed?" Hina suggested.
"I'm sure they'll be here soon enough," Sakura mumbled as she crossed her arms.
"Ah...it seems there is a problem," Celeste spoke as she placed her hand over her mouth. "I am thirsty."
"And why should we care? Get something to drink," I scoffed, rolling my eyes. Celeste seemed to frown a bit before turning to Hifumi.
"Hifumi, could you make me some tea?" Celeste asked of Hifumi with a sweet smile.
"...Huh? Why me?" Hifumi questioned with furrowed eyebrows. Celeste giggled softly before saying, "milk tea, if you would please. You remind me of the owner of the coffee shop I used to go to."
"Eh?!"
"Please hurry; I am quite parched," the gambler urged as she ushered out a small cough.

Hifumi sulked as he waddled his way to the kitchen, unable to refuse the order of Celeste. Celeste was satisfied with his obedience and took a seat at one of the tables. A few minutes later, Hifumi came out with a cup of milk tea. The aroma of the drink filled the room as he walked over to Celeste, setting the cup in front of her. The girl uttered out a small, "thank you," before drinking the tea.
Hifumi was about to say something when Celeste had threw the tea cup against the wall, her expression blank. Hifumi let out a shout and trembled in shock.
"I utterly despise this type of tea," she said with a frown. She continued to ramble on about how the milk tea wasn't brewed to her liking as the rest of us simply watched in bewilderment.
"Now...hurry up and bring me what I asked for, unpleasant swine!" Celeste screamed at Hifumi. Hifumi whimpered and scurried back to the kitchen, presumably to make more tea.
"You were a totally different person right now," I muttered as I glanced over at Celeste. She simply looked at me with a small smile, replying, "well, I'm sure you have a few acts of your own, don't you, (Y/n)?"
I opened by mouth to counter her statement only for Taka to burst into the dining hall. "Bad news everyone! Byakuya refuses to leave his room! I rang his doorbell over and over, but he never came out of his room!"
"Maybe he just isn't in his room?" I said.
"I hope so, but I fear something else may have happened to him..."
Everyone understood what Taka's concern was. We decided to split up into groups and look for Byakuya together. I decided to go with Hina and Sakura. We decided to go to Byakuya's room in case he actually was in there.

Upon arrival, Hina began to click repeatedly on his doorbell, hoping for a response. "Byakuya! Byakuya!" Hina yelled as she continued to click on the doorbell. After a bit, Chihiro ran down the hall towards us, stopping in front of us.
"W-We found Byakuya!" Chihiro panted as she pointed up towards the ceiling. "He's upstairs in the library."
"So that's where he was! Makes sense," Hina commented before she began to walk down the hall. "Come on! Let's go!" We all made our way down the hall together and made our way to the second floor. When we entered the library, Byakuya had an annoyed expression plastered among his features as Taka ranted about how everyone was concerned about him.
"I didn't ask for your concern," Byakuya scoffed as he closed the book he hand in his hands. "I was simply reading a book, but you guys mistook that as something else, didn't you? Did you think another murder happened? I'm not idiotic enough to die, unlike you plebeians."
"What did you call us?!" Mondo shouted, cracking his knuckles.
Byakuya smirked and repeated, "plebeians; simple-minded commoners."
"I'm gonna fucking kill ya!" Mondo yelled as he steadied his fist, about to punch the blonde male.
"I am not going to die. I will not lose this killing game."
"Don't bother arguing. The concept of losing is something that Byakuya doesn't grasp," I sighed. "He was raised to succeed ever since he was born, thus leading him to believe that victory is always guaranteed. To him, every game, test, and obstacle is meant to be won."
"I'm surprised you understood of all people," Byakuya rolled his eyes. "Anyways, I have no intention of hanging around you any longer. It's a waste of time and I hate wasting my time. Goodbye." Byakuya then proceeded to walk past all of us and leave the library.
"Tch, we had wasted our time looking for him," I stated.
"Y-Yeah...let's just get back to breakfast," Hina suggested. Everyone headed back to the dining hall to eat breakfast. After I finished my breakfast, I went back to my room. I had free time on my hands, although I didn't have a clue what to do with it.
Laying down upon my bed, I stared at the ceiling as I pondered on what to do with my free time. I closed my eyes for a few seconds, the silence of the room making my ears ring a bit. As I began to doze off, I felt a shift in weight on the bed. Snapping my eyes open, I turned my head to see a pair of bright eyes staring at me.
"Heya, (Y/n)!"

A King in the Clouds
Tanlar. A cruel, repulsive, and foul word. It meant untitled, officially, but it also meant ungifted, unable, unworthy, unnecessary, unhuman. It was more a curse than a term, a badge only the damned and condemned wore. To be a tanlar was to know your life, your entire being, was insignificant. Once Kaizer had resigned himself to such a fate, but those times had passed. He may have been untitled, but he was anything but untalented. He refused to scrape by at the bottom of society. Those who stood above him could sneer all they liked, but he wouldn’t suffer being stepped on for long. He’d be better, much better. But of course he would be. ‘Fate’ demanded it so. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] What To Expect: The story of a boy becoming a man becoming a king + everything that entails. Largely gamelit, but later arcs could be called litrpg. Also schemes. A lot of schemes. I do love some good ol' fantasy politics and intrigue. Minimum Word Count a Week: TBA after Writathon Release Time(s): Daily for as long as I can/until the end of the Writathon. I also write The Deathseeker [Returning Dec 5th]

Path of the Ancients
When humans with the ability to control the fundamental particles of the universe with their minds were first discovered, the age of space travel began in earnest. Relativistic travel faster than the speed of light became possible and humanity moved out into the stars. When it was discovered that these Mages could be turned into effective weapons, humanity turned back to its oldest pastime of war. Hundreds of years later as humanity was on the brink of self-destruction, with its taste for war finally beginning to wane, a new organization was created. The Conclave was formed to regulate all Mage’s within the human colonies. While the colonies maintained their independence, the Conclave’s control over access to interstellar travel made them the de facto power amongst humanity. As the old saying goes, ‘Power Corrupts’, and many people were unhappy with the way the Conclave had been leveraging its authority, not the least of which were the Mages they controlled. One unregistered illegal Mage by the name of Tyrial had made it his life's mission to dismantle the Conclave at any cost. After spending decades working towards his goals alone, he realized he would need the aid of willing allies in his crusade. Tyrial would need all the help he could get learning to work with others, dealing with his own dark past, and handling unfamiliar feelings of romantic interest. Content Warning Note: They are there to cover my behind. I honestly hesitated to put them there at all but I figured better safe than sorry. Gore in particular barely applies and the sexual content amounts to light Cinemax style at best. But, at least now you can’t say I didn’t warn you. POSTED: Currently, this story is being posted to RoyalRoad and ScribbleHub. If you see this story posted anywhere else, please report it to the user "Tyrial" on either of the aforementioned sites. Thanks!

Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
