"TOBIN."
"TOBIN."
"TOBIN."
"TOBIN WHERE ARE YOU."
"BABY?" I hear Tobin shout as I run around our house.
"WHERE ARE YOU?" I shout.
"Baby I'm right here." Tobin says behind me.
"TOBY." I shout then spin around and wrap my girlfriend in my arms.
I then lift her up, put my head in her neck, and bask in the scent of my girlfriend.
"You're here." I mumble while moving us to our bedroom.
"Baby what's wrong?" Tobin asks as she runs her fingers through my hair.
"Say it please." I say and look at Tobin.
"I love you Astrid." Tobin says while stroking my cheek.
"I love you Tobin." I say and sit us on the bed.
"What happened Astrid?" Tobin questions. "One minute your taking a nap and the next minute your shouting my name."
"I thought you left." I admit. "I thought I was alone again."
"Oh Astrid." Tobin says and softly kisses me. "You're never alone baby. I'll be with you for as long as you'll have me."
"Will you Marry me?" I ask.
"What?" Tobin questions with wide eyes.
I lean over to my bedside table, open the drawer, grab the ring box I have for Tobin, then I open the box and kneel before my girlfriend.
"Tobin Powell Heath will you marry me?"
"Yes." Tobin says with the biggest smile i've ever seen.
I smile up at my Boo Bear then I slide the ring on her finger before I kiss my now fiancée.
"One second." Tobin says.
I watch as my Boo Bear reaches in her bedside table and pull out a small velvet box then she kneels in front of me.
"Astrid Grace O'Hara will you marry me?" Tobin asks causing me to smile.
"Yes." I say then kiss my fiancée. "Do you want to get married today?"

"And now I have the pleasure of introducing you as a married couple for the first time...You may kiss your bride."
Tobin and I smile at each other then we seal our marriage with a kiss.
"Thanks for getting us in so quickly Maria." Tobin says as we hug the officiant.
"Of course." Maria, our officiant/judge, says. "I'd love to stay in chat, but tonight's date night for the wife and I so I gotta go."
"Bye Maria." Tobin says then we leave the court room.
"I can't believe you're married." Mal says and hugs me.
Mal was visiting Lindsey in Portland so we asked them if they would be our witnesses.
"Thanks for coming you two." I say and kiss Mal's head.
"Of course." Mal says as I hug Lindsey.
"We need to go do some other things here so we'll see you too soon." Tobin says as I intertwine our hands.
"Alright bye guys." Mal says then she leads her girlfriend away.
"Hey wifey." I say then kiss Tobin.
"Hey Mrs. Heath." Tobin says with a smile.
"I think I could get use to that." I say with a smile.
"Good." Tobin says then she leads me to where we need to go.
Tobin and I legally change my name and get a new social security card with my new name then we head over to the DMV and get me a new license. After all that's done we head to the post office and get me a new passport with my new name then we go get some celebratory fast food and champagne before we head back home. Once at our home I lock all the car doors except mine.
"Trust me and stay here okay?" I say and Tobin nods.
I get out of the car and rush to the front door and unlock it then I head back to the car and get Tobin out of the car. Once my wife is out of the car I pick her up bridal style, carry her out of the garage, down the path to the front door, then I open the front door and walk us into our home.

"I've always wanted to do that." I say.
"Well you can do it again on our wedding day." Tobin says as I set her down then I shut and lock the front door.
Tobin and I are going to have an actual wedding, I just couldn't wait another day to be her wife.
"Sounds like a plan." I say then softly kiss my wife. "I love you Tobin Powell Heath."
"I love you Astrid Grace Heath." Tobin says as I hug her.
The two of us hug for a while then we head to the car to grab our things and shut the garage door. We then cuddle on the couch while eating our fast food and sipping champagne.
"You know we need to tell our families right?" Tobin asks
"I know." I say as Tobin grabs her phone. "Let's start with your first."
Tobin nods then calls her Dad
"Hey Dad." Tobin says.
"Hey Sweetie." Jeff says.
"Astrid and I have something we need to tell you and Mom."
"Can your brother and sisters hear?" Jeff asks. "We're having a play date with the grand kids."
"Of course." Tobin says.
There's some scratching on the other end of the line then we hear a lot of voices.
"Okay we're all here." Jeff says.
"Hey Tobs." Katie says.
"Hey Katie."
"What's up?" Perry asks.
"Astrid and I just got married." Tobin says and then there's silence.
The two of us then brace for yelling.
"YOU DID WHAT?" Cindy yells.
"H-Hi Cindy." I shyly say.
"Hi Astrid." Tobin's Mom say. "How are you?"
"A lot better actually." I admit.
"Oh?" Cindy questions. "How so?"
"I had a bit of a freak out, thought Tobin left me, realized it was a dream, then Tobin and I asked to marry each other and now we're married."
"Well I'm glad you're better."
"Mom we're still going to have a wedding." Tobin says then she looks at me. "The two of us didn't want to wait months to be married."
"And when is the wedding?" Cindy asks.
"Well I mean we just got engaged and married today so we'll let you know."
"Tobs we are happy for you two." Perry says. "It was just very unexpected."
"Sorry." Tobin and I sheepishly say.
"Don't be." Katie says. "We love Astrid and are very very happy to have her as part of the family."
"Thanks." I say with a smile.
"I mean she is cooler than you." Jeffery teases.
"Jerk." Tobin mumbles.
"Be nice." I say and grab one of my wife's French fries.
"Astrid's now a Heath so if you need to change it in your phones you can." Tobin says.
"Alright." Cindy says. "But I want more grandkids so you two need to get on that."
"MOM." Tobin yells and I see her blush.
"She's just teasing sweetie." Jeff says.
"I mean I'm not, but okay." Cindy says.
"I'm hanging up the phone now." Tobin says.
"BYE AUNT TO-TO, BYE AUNT ASTY." One of Tobin's, I guess my nephew now, yells.
"Bye sweetheart." I say. "We'll see you at Christmas."
"Bye guys." Tobin says.
"Bye." The Heath clan say then Tobin and I hang up.
I then realize who we're calling next causing me to sigh.
"Now to call the O'Hara clan."

[ The Administrator ]
She used to be a bright child. She was just not fortunate enough to have a normal life. Ill and bed-ridden, she slowly lost affect and cut herself off from outer reality, as her only joy was to construct a complex fantasy world. And eventually, she met her demise. Nevertheless, her story did not end here. Who is to say that Death is our last path? For her, it was just the beginning. She had been given a second chance. Reborn as a Goddess in the very own world that she created, it was now only up to her to write her own story. ‘This time, let’s try to live normally.’ Warning: Slow Character Development, Frequent Hiatus About the releases: Do not expect regular releases. I can no longer stick to a specific release schedule, so the chapters will be released once the entire arc is done, which implies long hiatus periods between arcs. About the tags: Although there are game elements, there are absolutely not the focus of the story so this isn't exactly a LitRPG.

Across the Realms [Dropped]
Disclaimer: I'll leave this on here for anyone to read. The last time I uploaded a chapter was nearly a year ago, and to all the readers who still kept their trust in me after I came back from my umpteenth hiatus, I am sorry. I will not carry on writing this; I started off without the correct foundations of a novel, nor commitment to fully finish it and I do not want to lie to you all once again. Maybe one day, I may decide to re-write the novel, with a new basis or at least a comprehensive starting point with many of the narrative errors cleared up; but, till then, this is goodbye. And, once again, thank you for the motivation you gave me. Even now, I see many emails come through with people commenting. Goodbye. A child blessed by the Astral. An unprecedented destiny. Watch his path, as he marches up the stairway of Heaven. A March of a Sovereign. [Adventure, Wuxia, Martial Arts, Fantasy] This is a Qihuan novel; it has eastern and western fantasy elements. More often than not in Xianxia or Xuanhuan there is a severe lack of character development, being a western writer I'm changing that. My characters, from my totally unbiased view, feel fleshed out and actually have emotions. This is my first attempt at a novel, I'm writing as a means to better convey my thoughts. I will, hopefully, steadily improve chapter-by-chapter. I'm very open to feedback and constructive criticism. As one can see this is a cultivation novel, so you know how this goes. I've decided to jump-start the whole rags-to-riches scenario. He is strong from the start and is given the utility to do so. *The cover art is not my own, all rights reserved to the owner. I will take it down if necessary. *The style of the recent chapters is comparatively different than Chapter 1.
