"Come on. We're going back in," the hulking man ordered Lia.
Her eyes betrayed a trace of annoyance, but she put away the unsmoked cigarette. "I've gotta go. Bye." She waved to Ben as she walked inside.
Her boyfriend didn't follow her. He stayed in place staring at Ben. When she was out of sight, he issued a threat. "Don't let me catch you talking to my girlfriend again, you little douche. Or I'll f*ck you up." After leaving those words with a menacing glare, he followed behind her.
Ben gritted his teeth as he tasted the humiliation, but it wasn't unfamiliar to him. His life had improved the past few weeks so he almost forgot what it was like. He watched his lonesome reflection in the glass window of the bar. 'When will I not be someone's ashtray?' He looked down with a self-deprecating smile.
He thought of using the Bad Luck Perfume; two or three times, in fact, but that was a rare item. If he used items like that on any random jabroni with no potential gains for himself, he'd end up dead in a week like an idiot. Would it be worth it? Ben shook his head and walked back inside..
Walking through the dim-lit bar, music blasted in Ben's ears as he glanced down at his phone. The three hours for the event were almost up.
"Cuz!" Antonio lifted his arm and shouted to get Ben's attention. He was leaning on the bar now.
Ben walked over and asked, "How'd you do with that girl you were with?"
"Good. Got digits. How about you? Any luck?"
Ben swept his teeth with his tongue and shook his head.
Antonio shrugged. "Don't worry about it. If you haven't noticed, night game's much harder."
"Why?"
Antonio put on a helpless smile. "Man, have you looked around? The guys that go out to bars and clubs tend to be taller, better looking, and richer because they can afford to spend on these absurd entrance and drink prices. It's a much more competitive and challenging scene. On top of that, every chick gets hit on by 10 dudes, so their egos inflate. Their standards become unrealistic, making it harder for average looking guys like us."
Ben rubbed his chin. He felt what Antonio said was reasonable.
Antonio continued. "That doesn't mean night game is useless. After all, bars are the best place to find the mythical drunk sluts...It's their natural habitat. They're creatures of the night. Daytime is a different animal.
"Last call!" The bartender yelled.
The 3 hour limit on the special event only had a few minutes remaining, and the two of them were exhausted. So they went outside first before people crowded the exits.
"You want to do this again tomorrow?" Ben asked. He'd be out every night from now on until he cleared his death mission.
Antonio shrugged. "Sure, why not? I ain't got nothin' goin' on." Then he remembered something. "Oh, can you meet me at another place a bit earlier tomorrow? I wanna show you a spot."
Ben agreed. As they were about to bid farewell, Ben froze when he heard an alert.
[Dungeon break detected]
He blinked. 'Dungeon break?'
Antonio yawned, then asked, "What's the matter?"
Ben glanced at Domina's entrance. It was late now and there were fewer people on the streets. The staff in the bar turned off the music and switched on the lights. This was something nightlife venues did to urge the patrons to exit so the staff could go home. As a result, everyone rushed the exits.
Ben watched as the wooden doors to the bar swung open and a crowd of people flooded out.
He made a guess, but he checked with the system to confirm.
[Dungeon break - All summoned sluts return to the wild…It could be an opportunity, but only for the bravest adventurers]
Ben's eyes glimmered. 'Now that I consider it, it's a good time to pick up women!' Ben understood the logic of the system. The girls coming out now would be the drunkest! "Antonio! This is no time to rest! Destiny is calling all heroes to assemble!"
Antonio knitted his eyebrows. He didn't understand what Ben was talking about.
Ben explained with urgency. "All the drunk women are flooding out! What better time to run openers than now? Aren't they going home? Let's convince them to bring home a stray!"
Antonio didn't need to hear another word. He slapped himself twice on each cheek! "I'm hulking out!"
Feeling more awake, he looked at Ben with newfound respect in his eyes. 'Great men always keep their eyes open for opportunities…'
Ben was staring at breasts and asses... "All right! This won't last long. Machine gun openers! Stick and move! Fire off an opener, and if it doesn't fly, move to the next! I know you're tired too so just say whatever!"
"Bentonio! Assemble!" Antonio cried to the sky, but Ben was already in the thick of battle.
Ben looked around for a decent target. 'Sh*t, I haven't done openers this tired and with so little time before.' He felt half-conscious, like he wouldn't even be able to filter his speech anymore. Then his head swiveled because he heard Antonio's voice. His cousin started before him!
Antonio was talking to a girl on the street corner. "I like you."
"Why?" she asked.
"You seem nice."
"Thanks."
"I like you so much! So far…don't ruin it."
"Thanks…"
"I love you!"
…
"My dick's getting hard right now."
...
"That's very inappropriate," she said.
"...I'm not breaking any boner laws. I don't think…"
…
"I want to um…touch you right now."
…
"I want to be all over you...like stink on a monkey."
…
Antonio raised his eyebrows. "Wow! I'm shocked…Most people would've run away by now."
"...I'm in a wheelchair...and we're at a red light."
…
"I like patient girls."

"With this system, I'll become the world's greatest seducer! If it doesn't kill me first..." I was a nobody, a short fatty Otaku. Then, a girl's voice popped into my head: [Seduce a woman within a month or die.]
"What the hell...how? I'm an 18-year-old virgin..."
[7+ looks only. No slam donkeys.]
"You’re forcing me to die!” 

Facing annihilation, I saw no choice but to join the international community of pick up artists, and from that day forward, my boring student life became filled with craziness and womanizing. I just had one problem: "Why are all these guys insane?!?"

It was another day of Atom visiting Atlas. Taiyang and the other two wanted to go around the other kingdoms. Atom has been in Atlas for about three days now. He had his hood up and looked around. He then stopped at a big mansion. It had a giant snowflake emblem. He looked at the stone slab that talked about the mansion. "The Schnee mansion. Home to the Schnee family and the SDC's CEO, Jacques Schnee. He is also one of the main people who use Faunus as a labor force to get what he wants." 

Atom: Sounds like my father. Hmm?

He looks over and sees a paper on the brick fenceline. "Weiss Schnee will be performing today at 3:30, any openers are welcome to come in an hour early."

Atom: Perfect, I need to get this girl out. I don't want people to go through what I had to go through.

He looked at the time. He had about twenty minutes. More than enough time to get a suit. Atom went to the store and bought a white suit with a sliver under shirt. He walked back to the gates and saw that they opened up for the openers to come in. Atom walked in and knocked on the door. A butler, it looks like, opened up the door.

Butler: Greetings young man, are you here for the openers?

Atom: Yes sir, the name's Atom Leviathin.

Butler: Alright, follow me and we'll meet at one of the practice rooms.

Atom followed the butler to a practice room. A white haired girl was practicing singing inside. She stopped when she saw the butler.

?: Hello Klein.

Klein: Hello Weiss, I have someone here who is going to open the show for you.

Atom walked to his side and bowed.

Atom: Hello, my name is Atom Leviathin.

Weiss: My name is Weiss Schnee, glad for you to come tonight.

Atom stood up with a smile.

Atom: Of course, singing is one of my hobbies and jobs.

Weiss: Really now? Let's see.

Atom: Alright.


Klein and Weiss were very surprised. His voice was smooth, but rough at the same time.

Weiss: Wow, I-I'm impressed, you definitely deserve to open the show. Klein, can you give us some privacy?

Klein: Yes Lady Weiss.

He walks out and shuts the door. Weiss looks at Atom

Weiss: Why are you here?

Atom: Hmm?

Weiss: Why are you here? Normally when someone comes here they want something in return.

Atom: Yeah I do want something actually.

Weiss: *Sigh* What is it?

Atom: For you to leave.

Weiss: Huh?

Atom: We need to get you out of here. Your father isn't really doing this for you isn't he?

Weiss: W-well I-I, *Sigh* you're right. But why? Are you hoping I will marry you afterwards?

Atom: No, your father sounds a lot like mine. I came from an abusive family. And your father sounds like him. And I don't want you to go through what I had to when I was young.

Weiss looked at him shocked. But then smiled and looked at him.

Weiss: So, what's the plan?

Atom: After the show people will be trying to move to go home right? We blend in with the crowd, keep moving until we get to the exit and run to my apartment and get ready to leave. I have a bullhead tomorrow to drop me back off to Vale.

Weiss: That might work.

Atom: But, right now we should get ready for the concert.

Weiss: Talking about that, do you want to be in a song with me?

Atom put up a goofy smile.

Atom: Sounds like fun!

She smiled as they begin practicing.

After a while of practicing, Atom got ready for him to go up on stage.

Announcer: We have an opener today. Which is the very first time in Schnee history to happen. Welcome, Atom Leviathin.

Atom walked in the middle of the stage as the piano began to start playing.


After the song finished, the crowd started clapping. Atom bowed and looked at the balcony where Weiss's father and brother were out up at. They clapped as well. Atom walked backstage.

Atom: That was exciting.

Weiss: Yeah, and you did great by the way.

Atom: Why thank you, you do your song real quick, while I get ready for our duet.

Weiss: Okay.

Weiss went onstage and began to sing.


Atom claps and comes onstage and whispers in her ear.

Atom: You ready?

She nods as Atom gets the thumbs up for the finale of tonight.


The crowd did a standing clap and even some whistled. Weiss was amazed of Atom's skills. The both of them did a bow and walked off. Plan is going to be in action after the party. So Atom had to stick around for a little bit longer. They walked to the guest room. Weiss's father looked at Atom.

Jacques: You have some good skills young man. Maybe you can come into the company as an entertainer with Weiss?

Atom: Maybe sir. But let's not think about hiring, it's a party today. So, let's relax.

Jacques smiles.

Jacques: You're right, young man.

He walks off as Weiss's brother walks up to Atom and puts his hand up. Atom shakes it.

Whitley: You both did great out there.

He walks off towards his father. Atom looks at Weiss.

Atom: Yeah, definitely a douche.

Weiss: You don't even know.

The two walk around and talk for a bit. They joked around and stuff.

Atom: So, I was in Mistral okay. And this one dude came up to me. He said "how much for those shoes?" And I said this. *Crosses eyes* you don't want these shoes sonny!

Weiss started laughing hard and dries a tear.

Weiss: Why does that sound like a you thing?

Atom: Because it is me.

She giggled one last time before they heard glass clinging. They looked over and saw Weiss' father clinging his glass with a spoon.

Jacques: Everyone, I want to give a toast. A toast to my lovely daughter and Mr. Leviathin for that amazing performance.

They both bow and get on back to the party. It was time for the plan to go into action. Atom gave Weiss some casual clothes and a hoodie so no one could recognize her. Everyone started walking out as Atom and Weiss walked through the front door.

Atom: On my signal, we bolt towards my apartment.

Weiss: Alright.

Atom: And..... Go!

They run using the back alleys as a cut through point so nobody could follow them. They then ran to the door of an apartment complex and stoped to catch their breath.

Atom: That was close.

Weiss: Yeah... I'M FREE!

She yelled while smiling happily. Atom chuckled a bit at her antics.

Atom: Glad you're happy. Come on, we have to get some rest tomorrow for the ride to Vale.

Weiss: Alright, let's rest.

They go into Atom's room. Luckily, there's two beds in each room so they didn't have to worry about that. They changed into their sleep wear and slept. The next day, Atom and Weiss took a bullhead back to Vale and he gave Weiss enough money to stay somewhere before Beacon.

A boy with a hard past creates a new life within the world of Remnant. His new powers being brought to him from God as a note to say sorry and transported him to have a happier life. But the past is the past, now he looks on to the future with a bright smile.

Daniel threw Mark into a dark room with little to no lighting. He looked around confused only to spot Mikael and Luke sitting in two armchairs, completely silent. Both of them looked at him confused and Luke jumped up immediately, going to where he stood.
"What are you doing here? Where is Alex?" he asked him and examined his face carefully so he could get a hint on the situation before he spoke but all he could notice in Mark's expression was pure confusion. "Tell me!" he urged him unable to wait.
"Calm down Luke how do you expect him to speak if you are scaring him like that?" Mikael intervened. "Come on sit here" he told him and gently led him to one of the chairs. "are you feeling well? They didn't do anything to you right?"  He asked him his eyes filled with concern.
"No they didn't do anything but something weird happened" Mark said.
"What do you mean?" Luke asked.
He just wanted Mark to finally speak. He knew that the boy was probably shaken up and scared but still that urge to know about Alex was something he couldn't just suppress. He didn't care about anyone else. All he wanted to know was if Alex was well. He knew his father and what he was capable of. He could do the most terrible things to someone just to get what he wants or to show off to the rest of the pack. Alex had gone through a nightmare like that before and Luke felt responsible as to stop anything even remotely close to it to happen again.
"They gave us a change of clothes and told us to change so we could meet the alpha. Alex and I were trying to get it to our heads that this is the end. We cried and apologized and then we got ready to change. But when Alex took off his T-shirt I noticed something weird on his back." Mark explained
"What do you mean weird?" Luke asked. "Was he hurt?"
"No, no physically he was fine."
At the sound of that Luke exhaled deeply. He was alright and that for now was more than enough. Once they met he could make everything alright for him. For his mate.
"There was suddenly a weird tattoo on his back. Out of nowhere."
"Well that could be just Luke's and Alex's mate bond mark." Mikael said and he sat at the edge of Adam's office. Taking in his hands one of those sharp letter openers. This one had a red rose engraved at the top of the silver handle and Mikael examined it with his eyes, not really that concerned about the mark that had worried everyone else so much. Mate bond mark were common to appear sooner or later in a fated relationship.
"What? Wait guys you are mates? That fateful romance or something wolves get?" Mark asked surprised and looked at Luke.
The young wolf scratched the back of his head and Mark noticed his cheeks turn a slight shade of pink. He averted his gaze and mumbled a yes.
"So you have been torturing him just because you were in the closet?" Mark shouted and shoot up from his chair. "Listen here now…" he said and pointed his index finger at him, right between Luke's icy eyes. "…my friend has been through so much so you better treat him well since he is stuck with you." He scolded him and Luke nodded. He felt a bit of shy admitting to it. Mark was the first person who knew of that intimate bond they shared and it somehow felt refreshing to be able to talk about it so openly. Even though many of the fears remained Luke wanted to accept his fate, because all he could imagine was a future with Alex and he would do everything to achieve it. 
"Soo my princess keep going with the story" Mikael teased him and mark scoffed. 
"I will, thank you. Then after Daniel appeared, looked at it in shock and ran to get the Alpha who took Alex away."
"So you mean Alex is with my father right now?" He asked. 
"Yeah. That's what worries me."
"Don't worry" Mikael said "He is your mate; the law says he can't harm him so easily. Even if he is human. There are procedures in such a complicated situation so for now he must be alright."
"Yeah. You're right. At least we know that he is alright." Luke said trying to reassure himself. Hus father was a man of the law, at least he could be sure of that. He would have to talk with the elders first and with him too. He couldn't just execute someone's mate so easily and that for now was enough to give Luke some hope. They were going to find a way to save him and live together. The happily ever after they deserved. 
"But honestly. That gold tattoo was the prettiest thing I've ever seen and calling mates Children of the Veil sounds really poetic too." 
"Wait what did you say?" Mikael asked and Luke looked at him like he had just been hit by electricity.
"Your father called him a Child of the Veil." 
"We need to get to my father. Now" Luke said and headed towards the door.

Alex always felt out of place. Isolated and mistreated by his family, his life was pure torture. He believed he had managed to get out, run away from the beatings and the hate. He wanted a peaceful life, a way to be happy. 

For a second when he met Luke, a mysterious young man, through a fatal mistake, happiness seemed to be in his grasp. Still everything began to crumble. The silver eyes that shone under the moon were the bringers of deceit and he felt lost once again, trapped until...

...until he met him. The cold and saddened elf king, living in an endless winter, hidden inside an icy palace. Hair white as snow and eyes a pretty lilac, Alex had never seen someone so divine. Just the sight of him triggered a past he didn't know he had. 

Opening up a way through the secrets and finding the truth from his hazy dreams Alex struggles between who he is and what he is turning to. An endless journey and his only guide a blurry figure on his mind. 

"I love you...forever" he whispered and Alex could only cry. Who was he and where could he find him? His only comfort. His only home.

Welcome to the The Veil! Filled with unspoken horrors and divine pleasures. A place that only in your wildest dreams...or maybe nightmares, you would have imagined. What lies beneath the covered eyes of the humans? Are you curious to know? Read and find out.

So, I don't hide the fact that I am "frugal".  My average shoe cost $10, shirt $3, paints $7, I don't do thrift shops and I like quality.  I want it to last.  

2014, Deni and I just moved in together and it was the second weekend in our new apartment. We had been shopping all week, finding all the little odds and ends we needed for our new home. One of the things on the list was a can opener, why do you cost so much money?  

I couldn't find one for the right price and quality.  We are in the dollar store and Deni comes up to me with a can opener and asks "How about this one?"  We had a few arguments about can openers that day, he says he was trying to "compromise" I say he was trying to insult me. Anyway, I was like "oh muffin no, that's a piece of muffin". He got all huffy and puffed away, we went home and by the end of the night we stopped talking can openers. 

Another week goes by and I was like I am going to make tuna sandwiches, well he was just itching to bring it up the can opener.  I was like it's cool,we will open it up zombie apocalypse style, which warranted a "What?". I knew how it sounds, but it's a real thing, look it up.I was committed to winning this battle, I was right to hold off on the can opener, I knew there was one out there for the right price and quality. In the video it was easy, take the can, scrap it against concrete, pop off the lid.  

My apartment was on the second floor of an enclosed landing.  When I scraped the can it was as loud as muffin.  I did try, it wasn't working, it was hot, I was pregnant, these were all the excuse I gave when I sent Deni when I sent him to do it, the truth is it was embarrassing ask muffin, and I didn't want my neighbors to think it was crazy, because I was starting to contemplate my own sanity. 

Deni went out and tried, he came back in "Just let me buy a can opener, I am not broke, I can afford a can opener."  I looked him in the eyes and said "Nope, we don't need it, in the video it only took a few minutes." Since then I have learned a little about video editing.   

Sometime had passed, okay, a lot of time had passed and Deni well he was still trying to open it outside.  He had moved from the landing to the sidewalk, then the street. He came back with a rock, and the tuna was still not open. He was grumbling about how much money he had and even in college he wasn't that broke.  My daughter brought her piggy bank so we could buy a can opener.  He told her that it wasn't a money issue it was a mummy issue.  

After some more time had passed he got his pocket knife and cut it open, it took about 2 and half hours to open it from first scrap to last cut. Lunch was quiet, he did mention his arms were hurting, but I tried not to dive into that too much, because I knew it was because he was scraping the tuna can. 

We watched some TV and headed to bed around 3 am, I got up at about 9 and there on the counter was a can opener, an expensive can opener, no packaging, no receipt. I was pissed for like a week, when someone asked what was wrong I told them he bought a can opener, they didn't ask me to elaborate. I still don't know how much he paid, he says if I ever found out I would kill him and that's probably true. 

To this day when Deni uses that can opener he still says it was the best purchase he ever made.

A book about the unbelievable things I do, my quirks, and the people who deal with me.  You will either laugh till you pee, think I am full of muffins, or leave this book horrified and little scared.  It might seem like a comedy, but it's all real muffins, and if you are wondering why I keep saying muffins, you're going to have to read the book.
