Novel Rules Novels & Stories

Rule 1: Never fall in love with your best friend’s sister. The first rule. The reason for all the others. The one rule I should never break, even though it has been broken from the start. Rule 2: Never lose control. Essential for a guy who lives one bad decision away from the edge. I use visualization, breathing, and mental drills.

We don’t let go right away. "First rule," I say. "We start slow. Nothing before New Year’s. Gives us time to build the story." "Second rule," he counters. "Total honesty with each other. If it stops being fun, we pull the plug. No guilt." "Third rule. We never lie about the big stuff. If one of us actually falls for someone—" "We end it immediately. Clean. Public if we have to." I nod. "Fourth rule. We don’t sleep together. That way lies madness."

Chapter 10 • ADRIAN POV It been hours since, after she had left. I stayed where I was. Not a single step toward the door. Just my thoughts and the distant sound of the city sprawling beneath me. lights blinking from below like distant stars. Cars weaved, people moving, lives unaware of the games played above them. From my office balcony, I could see it all… the city I once ruled in shadow. The domain I once thought was untouchable, now… threatened. Not by another rival…

Chapter 23 Lyla's POV: "So, what exactly are these unbreakable company commandments?" I ask, emphasizing the air quotes with my hands. Nora looks up from her meal, a knowing smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Basically, everyone learns about these rules on their first day." She replies. Intrigued, I lean in closer, eager to hear more. "They're known as the Nine golden rules of Lucian Knight. And they're taken very seriously around here." Nora explains.

Even though I hadn't been paying full attention, a few rules had managed to stick. "In case you forgot, dating a teacher is strictly prohibited, handsome." I turned back around to face them. They were frantically trying to fix their clothes. The guy froze mid-buttoning when he realized I hadn't left yet. He turned toward me, his wide eyes locking onto mine as he took me in. I cleared my throat. "But hey, whatever. Rules are meant to be broken." He looked away and resumed buttoning his shirt. I let out a sharp sigh. "Next time, be more careful. Not everyone is as nice as I am," I deadpanned.

The Eldest brother rumbled. Then without further comment, or touching Walter removed his hand and continued on towards the middle of the matt just between Brandon and Lander. "All right." Walter said once he got in position. "I'll explain the rules to the new combatant." he said his deep voice filling and dispelling the awkward silence. "Rule 1, No groins. Rule 2, No eyes. Rule 3, No Shifting. Rule 4, No Supernatural abilities. Combatants can only use non-lethal weapons. Okay?"

I did break so much of rules for him and I never regret that. And now when I see him, I feel proud that I broke those rules of my own. When I feel him on my arms I feel that sometimes breaking your rules bring you happiness in life along with the risks and sometimes when you break the rules, unexpected result might show up and might take your life to next level.

After all, the game's demise may ultimately result from power imbalances. Even though Mike desired more power, he realized that for the time being he would have to play by the rules. What would happen if I tried to improve the skills I already have? Would I be required to adhere to the standard or newbie dungeon rules then? Mike was puzzled. It would be simpler to follow the novice rules rather than the standard ones. It would be much more difficult to follow the usual rules. Mike, on the other hand, lacked the information to ponder this further. In an effort to clear his head of all thoughts, he shook his head vigorously.

Ava’s POV There were only a few rules I lived by in college. Rule number one? Never fall for a jock. It wasn’t just a personal preference. It was survival; I had to avoid them in order to do well. I had seen too many smart girls throw away their GPA for a 6'0 something guy with biceps, a quarterback playboy and a bad attendance record. Not me, no way, I'll never do that, that's how I survived my first year in Westbridge University, and I'm not going to break that rule in my second year.
