Here we go

Here's the first chapter for anyone who wants to read it.

Chapter 1- The Beginning

Renwick sat in the front of the classroom taking notes as the end of his seminar neared. He knew that soon he would have to go to work, and after that, he would have homework. He could not wait until it was time for bed. It had been a long day, having his first day of classes, and knowing it would not be over for hours, he sighed. His professor, Doug, dismissed the class, but not before announcing there would be a quiz tomorrow. The class let out sounds of indignation. As he stood up and began packing his things, he surveyed the room. There were werewolves, fairies, vampires, humans, shapeshifters, merfolk, hybrids, etc. He finished packing and headed to his last class, keotune history.

He walked down the hall and searched for his class, glad that most of them were on the first floor. He stopped, turning to look at the class labeled Room 15. He mentally cheered for himself at finding the class with such ease, and before the professor shut the door, signaling that class had started and that anyone else would be late. He walked in a took a seat near the front, but off to the side a bit. The professor, a young woman looking to be in her 40s walked over and shut the door, clearing her throat.

“Good morning! My name is Marie Raglow, and I will be your planetary history professor. However, please, just call me Marie. Now let's begin by going over the basics of what units we will be studying this semester.” She turned, taking the remote off her desk and turning on the projector, a powerpoint popping up on the screen. The first slide was titled in big bold letters;

The History of Our Planet

Professor Raglow

“First,” She began, clicking a button as the slide changed,” There are some major events leading up to our planets habitation. Those would be the environmental collapse, the creation/exposing of magickal beings, and the finding of a new planet in our solar system, that being our now home planet Keotune.”

Environmental collapse

Creation/exposing of magickal beings

Finding of a new planet in our solar system, keotune

“Second, would the rebuilding of life here on Keotune. This will be a big unit as there is much to cover. However, I will go over the basics today so you know what to expect. There was the excavation and construction of waterways, and the testing to make sure Keotune would be safe for all beings, magickal and not. There was the discovery that, at Keotunes core, there is not only magma but a condensed ball of pure, unending magick, generated and fueled by the planets decomposition process. The nutrients go through the soil all the way to the core, where they are absorbed by the magick. There was the transition and moving from one planet to other. And the construction of homes, schools, and businesses. Pretty recently we have engineered robots that perform certain tasks we living beings cannot, such as constant surveillance of the streets to correct crime and long transportation of goods. Lastly, we have the discovery of an overabundance of eco-friendly materials here on Keotune. There will be a quiz tomorrow. Class dismissed.” She concluded. Renwick stood up, having finished packing his things, and gassed himself up, walking towards his professor.

“Um, excuse me, Professor Marie? Can I please speak to you about something important?” He asked as the last student filed out of the classroom. She turned from powering off the projector.

“Of course, dear, what is it?” She asked kindly. He took a deep breath and began.

“I'm, um, FTM transgender, and was wondering if you could address me as Renwick and use he/him, instead of my deadname?” He paused, nervous. She smiled politely.

“Absolutely, my dear. And anytime you need anything, or someone messes with you, you just come tell me, and I will handle it, OK? Transphobia will NOT be tolerated at this university.” She said, and he nodded, turning around and leaving the classroom. He entered the hallway, walking down it and exiting the building. He sat down on a bench, taking out his lunch, which consisted of a o-neg blood pouch, a raw turney and cheese sandwhich, and some beef jerky. He was raised Asthiest, but upon discovering the internet and being introduced to other religions, decided he was christian. It was then that he had realized that he would have to find a way to balance his religion with his needs. He had thought about it long and hard, and decided that since e he was being offered blood and wasnt hurting anyone, that he wasnt committing a sin. This was especially true as he wasnt even drinking directly from a human, he was drinking the blood from a pouch. He also found that he could sustain himself with animal meat, which ment he could drink less blood. Not only that, but he could also do the same thing with animal blood. Human blood was just sweeter. He also found that he would get more nutrition when he ate the meat raw.

Once he finished eating, he threw away his trash and grabbed his things, striding over to the bus stop, and sitting on the bench. While waiting, he put in his earbuds, and opened Spotify. He clicked on his metal playlist, which he titled Metals and Minerals. He started jamming out to Scissorhands as the bus arrived. He stood, stepping forward and hopping on the bus. He walked to the back and sat down as the bus began moving. Eat Spit came on and he looked out the window, heading for his job.

He worked at a bakery called Bake Your Day. He actually kind of liked his job, as he mainly worked in the kitchen and didnt really have to talk to people. His main responsibilities were cleaning the bathrooms and basically the whole store, washing dishes, stocking, taking inventory, taking the goods to the delivery trucks when they arrived, and building the special boxes the deliveries came in. The bus came to a stop and he climbed off, walking down the street to his job. He took out his earbuds as he opened the door, putting them in his bag. As he walked in, his boss greeted him. "Good afternoon Renwick! Please just put your things in the breakroom. Then, the bathrooms could use a cleaning, deary.” Miss Marjorie greeted. His boss was a thin, fairly fit elderly lady who didnt take shit from anyone. He liked her fiery spirit. “Yes ma’am. He replied, heading to the break room. He set his backpack down and took out his hat, as the bakery rules required all staff wear a hat or hair net during their shift. He then walked into the hallway, grabbing an apron and the cleaning materials out the closet and getting to work.

“Whew!” He exclaimed, plopping down in a chair in the break room, having finished his work. He took out his phone for a minute, checking his feed. He scrolled, realizing he was about to get too absorbed, and decided to put his phone away and get ready to go home. After all, it could get dangerous after the sunset. He grabbed his jacket and put it on, gathering his things and heading down the hall. He walked out the side door and out into the cool, spring air. He made to his apartment, and, while walking, he came to a fork in the road. Since it was getting dark he decided to take the shorter route. He went left, and as he rounded a corner her came to a stop, He heard something. He turned his head to the left and peered into the alleyway. There, he saw a robot officer attacking an angel and a demon. He watched as the robot picked up the two and slammed them on the ground.
