Keep flirting with my girl and imma have to smack you with my bat.
~ Jaden's POV ~
"Alright chill, I'm on my way."
I said as I hung up the phone on Scarlett and got up from my bed, Scarlett called me in the middle of the night crying but wouldn't tell me why.
So I did what any boyfriend would do, I got dressed, walked downstairs and hopped in my black truck.
First I stopped by Starbucks and bought two iced caramel coffee, then I stopped by McDonald's and bought her, her usual before driving to her house.
I also had brought my charger since I just know I would be sleeping over at hers, I mean I thought it was already established since I couldn't leave her after she fell asleep.
"Jaden, what a pleasant surprise. It's also 12:38 in the morning, why are you here?"
Alana asked as she stepped aside to let me in, I didn't know if Scar would've wanted Alana to know so I just said I missed my girlfriend.
I noticed the belly bump right away, it was adorable.
"We're doing a gender reveal in two weeks, right before the first day of school."
Alana informed me, I smiled at her and hugged her gently well, I tried hugging her because the bump was in my way.
I walked upstairs quietly and quickly, making my way to Scar's room and knocking.
"Come in.."
A soft but hoarse voice spoke out, I opened the door and once I did, I put the coffees and McDonald's bag by the door.
Scarlett jumped off of her bed and jumped into my arms.
She held on tighter than ever, I gripped her thighs and secured her from falling as I walked over to her bed.

I sat down and rubbed her back as she sobbed into my chest, now wouldn't be a good time to ask her what happened so I just laid down and covered us both.
Her LEDs were the only thing giving my light, it took her about ten minutes to relax.
"I bought you McDonald's and coffee."
I told her as I shifted her off my body and walked to her door, I grabbed the food and drinks and turned on her lamp light.
The biggest smile was on her face as I handed her the bag and her coffee, she looked at me graciously before stuffing her face with McDonald's fries.
"Wanna tell me what happened?"
I asked softly as I grabbed her free hand and kissed it before taking a sip from my coffee, I looked at how uncomfortable she was with the question.
Not wanting to push any further, I grabbed her TV remote and turned on the TV, putting on Netflix.
"Let's watch... Heartstopper, again because it's your comfort show and I know you love watching how shy Charlie gets whenever Nick is around."
By now I knew everything about my girl, she didn't make it difficult for me to figure out everything about her.
Scarlett shuffled closer to me and looked up at me with a smile, I smiled back and clicked on the first episode.
"It was a bad dream, I'm sorry that I made you come all the way over here.."
Scarlett finally spoke out to me, I looked at her and furrowed my eyebrows.
I paused the show and sat up, I looked at her and tried figuring out what she meant until she sighed and got up.
"It was just a nasty nightmare, I didn't know who to call so I just called someone who I knew would get here and stay with me.."

Scarlett continued as she smiled to herself which warmed my heart.
"But Xiomara is on babysitting duty since her dad is working out at the gym so I had to call my second person."
Okay ouch, that hurt.
But understandable, even if she's the first person I would've called.
"But Cora and Jayla are having a date night, so I called you."
Scarlett finished, I looked at her like she just stabbed me a million times and then tried putting a bandaid on it.
I watched as Scarlett began to bubble up with laughter, I felt butterflies hearing how nice it sounded.
Her laugh was like a melody to an addicting music that you couldn't get enough of, or a drug you couldn't stop using.
Scarlett Elizabeth Delmonico is my drug, my favorite song, my addictive melody, the light in my darkness.
"I'll push you out of your window."
I joked as I got up and grabbed her, Scarlett let out a squeal as she wrapped her legs around my waist.
I just twirled around as she wrapped her arms around my neck, I laughed a bit.
"Can we, can we go to 7/11?"
Scarlett squeaked out as I spun a little faster, I slowed down and nodded as I set her down.
I watched as she stumbled to her Crocs and grabbed my hand, I walked down the stairs with her and we left the house.
We walked down the block and around the corner, walking to the 7/11.
I only wanted a slushie and some strawberry milk, yes I have coffee but this is for later.
"I'll be back, I need to grab some chips."
I told Scarlett as I kissed her gently, I walked to the back and grabbed four bags which were lays, Takis, Cheetos and popcorn.
We're having a movie date night, she just doesn't know it yet.
When I walked back, I had seen Scarlett shift her body weight side to side as she waited for me to return.
I didn't know why until I had gotten closer to her when I had seen a about a guy two or four years older than her, glaring at her.
He a customer not a cashier, but damn can't y'all hit on girls your own age or maybe someone whose not taken?
I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me, I paid for our things and as we walked out, there was a whistle..
Keep flirting with my girl and imma have to smack you with my bat.
I threatened before turning around and grabbed Scarlett's hand, I looked over at her and watched as she took a sip from her blue raspberry slushie.
She looked up at me and smirked before offering me some of hers, I declined nicely and continued our walk to her house.

Paladin
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity took what was found in it and propelled themselves to new heights. In their new Golden Age, humanity developed technology that they had only dreamed about. The following years saw hundreds more ships crash into the planet, spurring even greater technological leaps. An unassuming spacecraft, one of the dozens that fell yearly, descended on Siberia in 2021. The world took no particular notice of it. However, this one contained something beyond the miraculous technology that had made humans so prosperous. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, the automated construction of an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was underway. With this new, state-of-the-art weaponry, the military would turn the tide against the alien incursion that was consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam was an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility. Now alone, he lives in utter boredom and near insanity, his only company the base’s pseudo AI and an army of empty Paladins. With the world gone to hell around him, and the things that caused it still living above, he decides that he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately for him, that is no longer an option. This is the first novel I've written. The first fifteen or so chapters are going to be a little slower. I want there to be time to get to know the characters before they start blowing stuff up. Also, though the MC will be strong relative to the world, he won't be OP, and won't win every fight. Not every fight will be physical either. Currently, I'm aiming for something like 5 fairly short chapters a week, after the introduction part is done, but we'll see how that goes. Thanks for reading, and please let me know if I've made mistakes!

King given from God
Fifteen years ago, Earth awakened to magic. Millions reached out for their dreams, dimensional travel, reincarnation, cultivation towards godhood, superhero powers, game like support systems. There were many more who never had any interest in the fantastical, but thanks to the drive and effort they had for other things, they achieved much. Others yet, who desperately desired magic, failed even the first steps. It turned out, just like with everything mundane, nothing can be achieved without effort. Join Mathew, who for the first five years effortlessly learned the basics of psionics and fire magic. Then.. grew complacent, frustrated when he couldn't do the magic the way he wanted to, and over the next few years.. slowly forgot how to even light a cigarette or move a cup of tea over to himself. Now, mundane as could be, older and without education for everyday jobs.. he hopes to get back up, and maybe just once, for even few meters, to fly. After all, the greater the dream, the more crushing the expectations it makes you put on yourself. (cover is temporary until snow falls down)

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
