Ding Dong
The doorbell rang and I went and looked through da peephole.
Kayla
I rolled my eyes. I thought about what Kendrick said, maybe it will help. So imma try it.
I opened the door and here she was smiling at me.
Dumb bitch
"Hey Aug" She chirped.
"Wazzam" I nodded at her.
"So you ain't gone let me in?" She chuckled.
I fought the urge to cuss her out. "Yeah come on in"
She stepped in and looked around.
"This is nice" She said.
"Thanks"
"Why you look so uncomfortable" She turned and looked at me.
"I'm not." I said.
"Where's Charisma?" She asked.
"Why you worried about ha'?"
She raised an eyebrow. "I was just asking."
"Well it's none of yo business, whatchu doin' hea?" I folded my arms. I was tryin my hardest not to beat this bitch ass.
"I was just comin to see how you were doing. I haven't seen you in a long time" She stepped closer, and I took a step back.
"We ain't even coo nomo"
"Well lets be back cool, Aug" She smiled at me.
"Nah I'm straight onnat." I clenched my jaw.
"I know you miss me." She touched my chest.
"No not really" I shrugged her off me.
"Okay have it your way Aug" She smirked.
"Why the fuck you smirking?"
"Cause things are going to get really interesting" She chuckled, and walked around me walking out.
I'm finding Charisma, best believe that

I sat at the barstool in the kitchen and ate my cereal. I glanced at the "guard". He stood by the door with his arms folded.
"So did you chose to work for her, or she forced you to?" I asked.
"That shouldn't be your concern" He said, looking at me.

"I was just asking. You must owe her or something."
"Make my job easier, and stop trying to make conversation" He said.
"Well damn" I muttered and went back to eating my cereal.
After I finished, I just left the bowl right there, and as I stood up, I heard Kayla come in.
"Oh hey" She smiled at me.
"Hey" I responded dryly.
"I paid August a little visit" she smirked.
"What did you do?" I clenched my first.
"Oh you know, just talked to him." She shrugged, going into the kitchen.
"About?"
"Well aren't you just nosy?" She chuckled. "It's none of your business"
"Whatever" I rolled my eyes. I walked back up the stairs, and paused.
—
It was my hour to be out my room, and I walked around the house.
I glanced at one of the men who were in the halls, he was on his phone. I opened a door, and there were some stairs.
I looked at him again and he was still on the phone, so I stepped down onto the stair.
When I made it down the stairs, I glanced around he basement, there were a few crates around and some other things.
I saw a door, and I walked over to it.
I pulled on the handle locked
"Dang it" I muttered.
"Hey! What do you think your doing?" The man asked.
"Oh- sorry I was just bored and wandered down here" I turned around.
"Go back upstairs, you have no business being down here" He barked.
I nodded and walked back up the stairs. I walked into the foyer, where I saw Kayla speaking lowly into a phone.
I backed behind the wall and decided to listen.
"I don't have a set plan on what I'm going to do with her, I just need her away from August" She spoke into the phone.

"I'm not going to hurt her unless she stepped out of line, But if August doesn't want to be with me, then he's not gonna be with anybody"
I wrinkled my eyebrows, psychotic ass bitch.
"I think Kendrikk is helping them, because I just noticed that C-". I accidentally bumped the wall and a painting fell.
"Shit!" I hissed and tried picking it up.
"Hold on I'll call back" I heard her say.
I put it back on the wall, as she came around to where I was.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Just walking around" I shrugged.
"How'd you knock the painting off the wall then?" She folded her arms.
"Jeez, you'd think since we were besties, you'd remember I was clumsy" I forced a smile.
"Mhm. You have a few minutes left before you need to return to your room" She said as she walked away.
—
Okay, this was something I just came up with. A lil small update.

Killstealer
Unfinished - Apologies to anyone who was reading but I have no current intentions to revisit this story Alex was stuck in a rut: He was nearing thirty, and his career seemed to be going no-where; He used to have plenty of friends at university, but had gradually lost touch with them. He had recently started using a dating site, but truthfully he never quite got over his ex. It could be worse; he didn't spend his nights wallowing in self pity. However, he had a sinking feeling that his life was going no-where fast. When Alex decided to take up an old hobby all he really was looking for was something fun to do on friday nights. Thrust into another world by a mad mage Alex must adapt quickly to survive. Unfortunately, Alex showed up late to game night and ends up stuck with a pretty mediocre character in this game like reality. Alex must learn to survive in this new world; just because it all seems like a giant game doesn't make death any less terrifying. This will be my first attempt at writing litrpg. I wanted to set myself the challenge of writing every week and I think knowing people might be reading it will motivate me. I've always worked much better with external deadlines. FAQ Why should I read this LitRPG? I am writing because I enjoy it and you should read it if you enjoy it. If I had to make an elevator pitch I would start off by saying my MC is a rogue type character, which seems a relatively uncommon character at least based on what I have read. I also strive to make the supporting cast three dimensional characters, and not just caricatures. Finally, I can't forget that this is a LitRPG so I have tried to make a RPG system with depth, and one that makes sense. How often will you release chapters? At least once a week is my goal. I am a nurse with a baby at home, so between my hospital and my baby I won't have time for more unless something dramatically changes. Will there be romance? I won't rule it out as I try to let my characters write their own stories. However, there will NEVER be a harem, it just isn't something I am interested in. Gore, Profanity, and Traumatising Content? I don't intend to have any of these present at obscene levels, but my tolerance might be different to yours. The tags are mostly there to cover me.

Join me as I tell to you what he was and what he might become.I will be updating this every day or every two days if it takes longer. If you spot any grammatical errors tell me and I'll fix them. If you want to suggest what might happen, tell me and if I like it I'll consider putting it in the story. And if someone could make a cover that would be great.I will be updating this as much as I can, be it every day or every two days. I won't be releasing once a week since that was when I catch up on the school work I've been procrastinating over and recharge my batteries. Please share this with everyone.Also, when it says mature content it doesn't mean there is sex but it means there is cussing and violence and a whole lot of serious stuff
