A New Choice
Daryl blasted robots that pixelated into voxelized bits. He entered the next level, and more robots came until he encountered the boss.
His best friend Susan jumped in and healed him.
They won!
A caretaker materialized and said, "Playtime's over, children. Return to your studies."
Daryl asked Susan, "Wanna come?"
"Sure." Susan nodded.
They teleported to a library full of others like themselves—reading, engaging in virtual lessons, and pondering complex subjects.
Susan whispered to Daryl, "Do you ever see them?"
Daryl nodded. "Yes, I see them through the viewer at times. I've seen her smiling with tears."
"Why can't we speak to them?" Susan frowned.
"Not sure. My caretaker says we're special. We'll do wonderful things ..."
"I don't understand." Susan shrugged. "Mine smile a lot too. I've seen them talk and laugh. I have dreams of being with them. As if …"

Daryl's mother and father watched him through a virtual scope.
The doctor came up. "You see. No regrets. No end. A new life. Forever cared for and loved. Susan's parents did the same. They couldn't afford other options. I invented this to satisfy everyone."
Daryl's mother shed a tear.
"Please don't be sad, Mrs. Jones. Daryl will do wondrous things beyond anyone's imagination. You can watch him anytime."
"I can see that now, doctor. Thank you for giving us a new choice."

8 81Total War Online: The Warchiefs
Can the will of one man control the fate of millions? The barbarian tribes of Yunnan plain spent centuries entangled in their own petty feuds. Lantis Shimray, a humanities student plus gamer attempts to assimilate the various neighbouring tribal fiefdoms into his own tribe, which he then must defend from the machinations of other player states and The Holy See itself. And should he accomplish all of those feats, there is always a world conquest to wage. But the question still remains how can a tribe of mere rabbles using spears and cotton armour for war, could possibly overcome the military might of other tribes? let alone the technologically advanced empires of other veteran players? Dive into a game, where you are not a hero or a dark lord but a simple observer changing the course of the world, your tribe and your people. Realise that what you are doing is not for the greater good or any of those cliché shits but for your people’s survival. Know that you are not a conqueror but a starved wolf in the wilderness. Sense and feel the ultimate desperation and hunger to call a land your own “home”. This is an age of Total War. This is Dominations!

Friends stumble onto something that redefines what it means to be a One Percenter.
8 200My Isekai
For those not familiar with the isekai genera, this story is about a man waking up in an unknown world. The story follows his journey and life in this world, which does not only look different on the surface, but the common norms and values of this world are very alien to the modern western mindset. How will this average western person respond to such a world, and how will it change him. For those familiar with isekai, this is a western take on a predominantly Japanese story format. It draws a lot of inspiration from Japanese isekai, but it also tries to tackle a lot of tropes that might be annoying to the western mindset. The story is not written for young boys as the story tries to take a mature take on some typical clichés and assumptions made by both the typical writer and reader of the genera.
