《Quem Ri Por Último Ri Melhor》CAPÍTULO VINTE E DOIS
Advertisement
Vic e eu mal nos falamos pela manhã. Acho que nós dois estávamos muito apreensivos com o que a escola nos reservaria hoje. Eu estava mais nervoso por causa de Lauren do que comigo mesmo. Se Avan se lembrasse do soco que eu lhe dei no sábado, eu podia me considerar um homem morto. Mas estava pouco me lixando, tudo o que eu queria fazer era ver os olhos de Lauren, saber como ela estava. Ela foi a primeira pessoa que vi quando desci do ônibus. Ela estava tirando o capacete e descendo da sua mega moto, balançando os cabelos. Eu e Vic fomos até ela.
-Olá – eu disse a abraçando.
Ela retribuiu meu abraço e me ofereceu um sorriso, ainda que meio triste.
Vic a abraçou também.
-Como você está? – Vic perguntou.
-Definitivamente não estou preparada para ver vocês sabem quem. Não dormi de ontem para hoje, mas isso me deu tempo para pensar. Decidi o que vou fazer a respeito de tudo – Lauren disse.
-E o que você decidiu? – Perguntei.
-Vocês vão ver – ela disse maliciosamente.
Aquilo me deu um arrepio, uma mistura do bom e do ruim, que eu gostei muito. Entramos os três abraçados na escola, praticamente um amparando o outro. De repente, vi no corredor do colégio uma figura com o rosto distorcido extremamente raivosa. Era Avan, que tinha um lado do rosto todo vermelho e o olho completamente inchado, mal dando para abri-lo. A medida que ele passava, as pessoas olhavam e se instauravam burburinhos sobre o que poderia ter acontecido. Quando ele se aproximou, eu instintivamente puxei Lauren para trás de mim. Ele apenas passou. Não mexeu comigo, nem com Lauren, nem mesmo nos olhou.
-Bem...parece que ele não lembra mesmo – Vic disse.
Olhei para Lauren, que estava com os olhos vidrados nas minhas costas.

-Ei. Tá tudo bem. Ele já foi. Vamos pra aula – eu disse, tentando me manter calmo.
Deixei as duas em suas respectivas classes e me dirigi a minha. Tudo estava um pouco esquisito,já que, até aquele momento, ninguém havia nem dirigido a palavra à minha pessoa. Quando cruzei a porta da minha sala, avistei Yumi. Eu havia esquecido completamente de ligar pra ela, e de contar às meninas sobre o(s) beijo(s). Fui até ela e a cumprimentei. Ela não parecia muito à vontade em me ver, então resolvi não puxar assunto ali, depois eu conversaria com ela, ou talvez não. Fui até o meu lugar e me sentei. Quando olhei para a porta, Avan estava parado embaixo do batente, olhando fixamente para mim, com uma cara não muito boa. Abaixei a cabeça na mesa e esperei o professor entrar.

Kobold in Exile
Accused of offending the dragons, branded a heretic and condemned by his people, Toktok is on the run from his homeland. Cut off from the support of his tribe, this kobold must rely on his own skills to survive in a foreign land where he is vermin. But he's no fish out of water, as he has patrolled the surface of his tribe's territory for years, hunting, scouting, and laying traps for enemies, and he holds a mystical connection to the land around him. He also has the company of a tamed land raptor that owes its loyalty to him, not to his tribe or to the dragons. However, with no other kobolds to watch his back and provide support in a fight, he will have to learn the hard way whether all of this will be enough to keep him alive in a land home to warriors and adventurers who would kill him just as soon as seeing him.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
