He woke up with a jolt, his cover sliding towards his legs as he picked up his phone from the bedside table and checked the time.
9:42 AM
"Fuck." He cursed under his breath as he made his way to his bathroom to get ready for class. He had overslept for quite a long time.
As he brushed his teeth, he couldn't help but wonder if Shaheer even came back last night. He shook his head, getting rid of the thoughts of his evil twin. He won't bother thinking about a brother as pathetic as him.
He grabbed his bag and shoved his books in them when he halted his movements, his heart going into panic mode.
'Books? ' He thought as he stared at his open bag in front of him.
He went to the drawer of overflowing papers and searched for a file he was desperately in need of. He threw all the unwanted papers on the floor, his hands finally coming across the thing he needed.
He opened the file hastily and took out the first paper his hands grabbed and scanned it, his eyes widening.
There was no need for books. He had his first end-of-year exam today and he had barely studied the past couple of days.
But he didn't give a shit. He grabbed his books and thrust them in his bag, planning to get at least something in his head a few minutes before the exam.
As he made his way out of his room, his heart couldn't help but think of one thing.
He fucked up big time.

He walked out of the exam hall traumatised, his hand wiping the layer of sweat on his forehead which had formed due to stress. The exam was so hard.

'At least it's over." He thought as he turned around the corner, mentally shrugging.
He was going to the vending machines to get himself a drink. Apparently the students always went back to their dorms to relax after an exam, so nobody roams around the corridors at that time.
But Shahroz always had a different story.
He took a left turn and jogged towards the row of vending machines by the wall, his body aching for a drink - a bad one - but he had to suppress his craving for that by something else.
He inserted a few coins and selected a soda when a person stood next to him in front of the other vending machine. He looked to his right and found the person who despised him.
Shaheer.
He was waiting for his drink when Shahroz spoke up, "Did you come back last night?" He cursed himself for showing concern towards his brother, who only did nothing but step on it and chuck it in the garbage.
Shaheer grabbed his drink and opened the lid, "Yeah. Why?"
"You didn't wake me up." He took a sip, thinking it might soothe the irritation he felt for his brother.
"And why would I do that?" He was smirking now, his eyes giving him a sinister look.
"Because we had a fucking exam you twat! I reached seconds before the thing started!" His voice came out a bit loud, his tone exasperated.
"You see", he took a sip, Shaheer's voice still as calm as before, "I'm the nice brother. I care about you so why would I disturb your beauty sleep?" His voice held that mocking tone that Shahroz hated.
Shahroz was about to say more when he spoke again.
"Who was that girl with you that day?" His question was laced with a tinge of jealousy which went unnoticed by his brother.

"None of your business." He said curtly as he passed by him to leave.
"Oh it sure is my business. You finally found a girl to bang!" Shaheer came in front of him, blocking his way.
"She's not like the thots you bang so I suggest you leave me alone." He was losing his patience now.
"Don't you dare comment on my love life!" Shaheer seethed, pushing him against the vending machine.
"Love life? " Shahroz gave a humourless laugh, "More like variable sex life!" He spat.
That last sentence earned Shahroz a punch on his jaw, but things didn't just end there. He kicked Shaheer in his stomach and in the next moment, they were both against the vending machine, fighting like they've never let out their frustrations before.
Shahroz got up and gave one last shove and was about to leave when Shaheer grabbed his wrist and pulled him down again for another blow on his face, the fight becoming a never-ending chaos.
It wasn't so never-ending now when a honey-like voice made its way to his ears.
"Shahroz? "
He turned around, his body still lying down on the floor as he looked up to the source of the voice.
It was the green-eyed beauty he had been thinking about nonstop at the hospital.
"Marina.. "

Killshot Apocalypse
Trace Taylor was at a shooting range when the world was kidnapped by the alien species called the ‘Esvol’ to begin humanity's integration with the System. Each individual person is given a femtochip implant and a class to fend for themselves before being sent back to Earth. Once Trace returns, she finds that the planet too is left scarred by this encounter, now filled with Dungeons packed with monsters and Gates that lead to the multiverse. With nothing but a handgun and her trusty new AI by her side, how will Trace come to survive this newly-changed planet? This story is a YA take on the “LitRPG Apocalypse” genre. It takes place in an alternate reality where, in addition to numerous other things, Earth's population reaches ten billion in 2030. I do hope you consider giving it a shot— no pun intended.

Transposition
Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.
