Advertisement
This book is so much fun to write haha.
Had a blast in St. Louis! Oh my gosh it was so much fun.
And that awkward moment when you run into your ex in walmart and he texts saying he was thinking about you the entire way home and how much he misses you.
Pft...bitch please. You don't miss me XD
Anywhore. On with the story shall we?
--------------------------------
Jack
It's been a couple days since I last talked to the wolf.
Not gonna lie. I'm gonna miss him.
"What are you thinking about?" Micah asked as we waited for our coffee before work.
"Just the wolf." I said standing in line.
"Has he come by again?" Micah asked.
I told her all about the wolf and how he and the other one will come and visit me.
I shook my head. "It's been a couple days. What if something happened to him?"
Micah laughed. "Have you seen the size of that thing? I think they will be perfectly fine."
"I hope so." I said sighing.
I heard my phone ding and I grabbed it out of my pocket.
One New Message it read.
I opened it and smiled.
"Ooh." Micah giggled. "I know that smile. Errold texted you?"
I nodded.
Critter lost one of his toys, so I made a quick run to PetSmart yesterday.
I ran into a guy my age and it was Errold.
After talking for a little bit, we exchanged numbers and he asked if he could take me out tonight.
Of course I said yes.
"Maybe he'll ask you to be his girlfriend." Micah winked
I giggled. "You think?"
Micah nodded. "Oh ya. He totally fancies you."
"Jack!" The lady at the counter called.
"That's me." I smiled.
"Have a nice day." She smiled as she handed me my coffee.

"Thank you. You too." I smiled back.
"Hot guy at 3 o'clock." Micah winked as she nudged me.
"Where?" I asked as I turned around.
Only to run into a chest.
I gasped as my coffee covered both of us.
Found the hot guy...
"I am so sorry." I said as I took my napkin and tried to wipe off his shirt.
Why does this shit always happen to me?
"It's okay." The guy laughed as he softly grabbed my hand.
I froze.
And I thought my dad had a deep voice.
I slowly looked up and I was met with beautiful deep brown eyes that seemed to be getting darker and darker by the second.
The guy had short brown hair.
Holy fudge cakes. He had to be at least over 6'5 or something.
"Are you alright?" He asked with a dazzling smile.
I gulped and nodded.
I focused on his hand that was still holding mine.
I felt sparks.
The same kind of sparks that I felt when I touched the wolf.
"Jack?" I heard Micah call me.
I snapped out of it and quickly stepped away from the man.
"I'm good. I'm good." I said nodding.
"Jack?" The man laughed. "Isn't that a boy's name?"
I chuckled and nodded. "Ya. The screen during the ultrasound had a missing pixel or something so it made it look like I had a guy part. So my parents named me Jack."
"Well I like it." The sexy man smiled. "It's unique. It fits you."
"T-thank you." I blushed.
"I'm River." He smiled as he stuck his hand out.
I shook it and felt the amazing sparks again. "Jack. But you already found that out."
He laughed and gave me a big warm smile.
"Come on Jack." Micah laughed. "We have work to go to. Then you have to get ready for your date."

I blushed and River frowned.
"You have a date tonight?" He asked tightly.
I nodded. "Ya. It's nothing major."
"Nothing major?" Micah asked astonished. "He could ask you to be his girlfriend tonight. You have to look hot!"
"Micah!" I yelling laughing.
"Um I don't think that's a good idea." River said suddenly. "He could be an axe murder or something."
"It's okay River." I laughed. "I have Critter to protect me."
"He's so cute." River gushed as he looked at Critter.
Critter hissed and swatted at him.
"Critter!" I yelled and took him away from River. "I'm so sorry. He's never like this. He loves people."
River laughed. "It's okay. Honest."
"Okay." I sighed.
"So where is your date?" River asked.
I got a good look at his facial expression.
He looked pissed and jealous.
Why, I would never know.
"He's taking me to Red Lobster." I said smiling. "I love sea food."
"You shouldn't go." River said frowning.
"Why?" I asked confused.
"Because I don't want you to go." He mumbled.
I scoffed and put my hands on my hips. "You aren't the boss of me."
River let out a small growl.
He gave me one last look and turned around.
"That was uh interesting." Micah laughed. "Come on. Duty calls."

I sighed as I got home from work.
I jumped as I heard scratching on my back door.
I opened it and smiled as I saw the brown wolf.
"Hey." I smiled as I sat down on the back porch with him.
He let out a purr as I rubbed his head.
"I really need to find you a name." I mumbled.
The wolf looked happy and nodded.
"So let's see." I said studying him. "Todd?"
The wolf shook his head.
"Brownie?"
The wolf gave me the look.
"Okay okay." I said laughing. It was a cute name though. What about Leo?"
I love that name. I got it from Will & Grace. He is Grace's husband.
The wolf nodded and started to jump around.
"Okay." I giggled. "Leo it is."
The wolf purred and started to lick my face.
I giggled and pushed him away.
I sighed and rested my chin on my arms.
The wolf looked at me and titled his head.
"I'm okay." I mumbled.
Leo gave me the look again.
"Fine. I met this really cute guy today at Starbucks this morning. Well more like ran into the cute guy." I laughed. "It was weird. It felt like a part of me is missing, but when I saw him, I felt whole. I got the warmest feeling ever. It was strange. But I liked it."
The wolf walked over and sat down next to me and put his head on my shoulder.
"His name is River. Tall, tan, and handsome." Leo let out a small laugh. "He was really nice. And rocked cowboy boots if I do say so myself. But then he got mad. I mentioned that I have a date tonight and River got all defensive. What does that mean?"
I groaned and looked over at Leo.
"I don't know what to do. Once I met River, the thought of the date flew out the window. I feel sick just thinking about going." I sighed. "But I already said I would. So I have to go get ready. I'll talk to you later Leo."
I petted his head and gave him a kiss.
Critter hissed at him and ran inside the house.
I rolled my eyes. Weird little raccoon.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Twisted Skies
After his master's death, Thurain leaves his rural home behind and travels to Heliana, the cramped city founded on the scientific progress of cultivation. Under a fake name, he aims to enter the Elemental Path Sect, the place of his master's death, to find both his killers, and closure. However, surrounded by the strange and horrible wonders of Heliana and its mixture of heroes and villains, his master's death is not the only murder he may have to solve. --- First attempt at a xianxia novel from me. To shake things up from the usual formula, the setting is more steam-punk than you might expect, and there are elements of murder mystery mixed in with the standard formula (though I'm not entirely sure yet how far to go with it.) I wrote this a while ago for NaNoWriMo, only posting it now for various reasons. Enjoy. Also, cover is highly temporary. I'll probably replace it with something nicer eventually.
