Chapter 9,
Don't Hate The Player
It doesn't matter if he hates me after this, the feeling would be mutual.
Waking up to my alarm was something I have hated since I started school, I fell in love with sleep and my bed that it actually pains me to have to get up and leave them alone all day and not come back until the evening or even the night.
But that's the price I have to pay when I became an actress and when I turned four, and got accepted to my elementary school for kindergarten to fifth grade.
My phone read 5:26 in the morning as I got up and groaned, my mom was still asleep which was fine with me, I grabbed my airpods and put them to charge as I removed my phone from the charger and walked to the bathroom.
As I turned on the lights, I felt as if I was blinded for about five minutes until I could see fine again, I turned on the water and made sure it was warm before grabbing my toothbrush and toothpaste.
The bed felt amazing which meant I slept really good, after I brushed my teeth and gargled some mouth wash, I began to wet my face so that I could do my morning skincare routine before I hopped in the shower.
Sometimes morning showers hit different, especially when it's like fall and the sun isn't even out yet, I literally love it so much.
When I got out of the shower, I knew that I was going straight to hair and make up so I brushed my hair into a low ponytail after taking out the tangles from it and got dressed with a sage green sweatpants and a sage green croptops that was plain.

I put on my all white Nikes and grabbed my bookbag, filling it up with a laptop, my phone, my air pods, my portable charger and water bottle.
After that, I said goodbye to my mom and let her know that I would be on set, I left the trailer and closed the door gently so I didn't disturb her sleep with a loud slam coming from the door.
I walked to where the hair and make up trailer would be and got inside, Miguel was already sitting in a chair as they wet and brushed his hair making his curls pop out more.
"Morning Miguel."
I smiled at the boy, he looked over at me and smiled before talking to me about how excited he was for the movie, I smiled at him and we began to talk about how school life was going and how was home life.
Turns out he was a little homesick because he wanted to go back home to see his little brother which was adorable and to just be in the comfort of his own home which was totally relatable and understandable.
"It must have been so exciting to be in a horror movie with Ethan Hawke, God I would have been so nervous to even breathe near him."
I smiled but then went to a serious expression as my make up was now being done, I didn't want to move at all because I didn't want the make up artist, Linda, to mess up and have to do it again.
She was really gently with my makeup and finished quite quickly, I'm guessing she did some light make up to make it look natural.
"Well I didn't get to speak to him as much but he is really chill, have you seen the movie?"

Miguel asked me, I shook my head as when the movie came out, I was graduating from middle school but I promised him that maybe on Friday we can all watch it together, including Mason.
Speaking of him, Miguel begin to ask me if I was going to be friends with him but I just shook my head.
"I just want to get into his head, if I'm being honest nobody is really that kind and I'm going to prove it."
I bluntly responded, I walked out of the trailer with the Hispanic boy walking behind me, he looked over at me and chuckled as we made our way to the set.
"And if he hates you? Because we all know this is going to end bad and he's going to hate you."
Miguel questioned, I stopped in my tracks and placed my hands on his shoulders.
It doesn't matter if he hates me after this, the feeling would be mutual.
I smiled and walked onto the set, greeting everybody and looking around for the boy that I was going to torment until he cracked, but he was nowhere to be found which meant he was either in the make up and hair trailer or he wasn't in any of the scenes today.
Either way, I'll find a way to torment him and make him hate me, just to prove that the kid isn't as nice as everyone says he is.

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now. Cover art is by Jack0fheart [Participant in the 2021 Royal Road Writathon Challenge for the month of November 2021]

I Am King: Book One (fourth draft)
In the distant land of Hattan, 10-year-old Prince Beaumont remains in hiding awaiting the day he becomes a man to reclaim the crown stolen from his family. His father King Bohemond and his mother Queen Renata were killed by the usurper Rancine, who is the current ruler of his home in the Middle Islands. Beaumont left the Middle Islands as a baby and everything he knows of his home is from stories and books. All that changes when a stranger from the Middle Islands, a woman named Nasila, arrives to inform him that Rancince has learned of his location and he is no longer safe. In order to protect the home he has grown to love, Beau must travel out of Hattan and journey to the Middle Islands to seek safety among people loyal to his father that he has never met. He must put his trust in Nasila and a hired warrior named Gavin with questionable motivations. He is afraid and unprepared to take the crown, but at least his cousin Julius is with on this harrowing journey fraught with assassins, wild mythical beast, black magic, and demons. His cousin is the only person he can truly trust, but he must take a chance and put his life in the hands of others if he plans to survive. ***This is the first long-length writing I have ever undertaken, and I wish to get some critical feedback. I am not professionally trained as a writer but I have tried my best to teach myself and make the chapters as clean as possible. I believe I have reached a point where my limited skills cannot improve the work or make any more corrections. It is very difficult to show this work, but if I do not, I fear I will never improve and learn. So here it is. To anyone who lends the time to read all of this and any of my chapters. Thank you.

The Genre of My Life Was Randomized?
The wheel spun and the genre changed. In every chapter, a new canvas made up of a thousand words was formed. I, the creator, do not know the future of this novel. I, the author, is but a mere slave that writes and creates what the wheel has given. What would happen after? What fate awaits the main character? When would you encounter the next chapter? Besides the latter, only the wheel could answer. Author's Note:Salutations dear reader. I'd like to dissuade you from reading this novel due to the following facts: 1. I am an amateur/new/beginner writer so it could be said that I don't know what I'm doing. 2. This novel is something which I wrote in order to hone my skills in adaptability, creativity, and writing in of itself. 3. Every chapter was made after spinning a wheel with the genres: Action, Horror, Romance, Comedy, Fantasy (as of writing) twice. The genres then would be showed in the chapter through theme, part of the story, flow, character, or whatever man idk. In case the wheel would show the same genre twice, the chapter itself would have the result as the main theme of the story with the other genres being free to use in order to fully show the theme. 4. I'm basically yoloing the story, trying to make sense of it even with the randomness of the current and future chapters; I swear I'm not a masochi.. *ahem* moving on, a variable left by the previous chapter won't suddenly just disappear because the next chapter doesn't have the same genre as before, meaning if a character that fits a genre was shown on let's say "Chapter 1", said character wouldn't just disappear or cease to exist for no reason at "Chapter 2" or the following chapters just because the character doesn't fit the genres. To make it short this isn't a collection of short stories but one big story instead. 5. Etc.
