Riloth 19th the 2nd
Dear Spellbook,
I don’t know why I’m writing here. Today has just been the weirdest day. Everything is just... the same. Yesterday, I woke up hungover and exhausted. No, those words don’t give it justice. I was poisoned from something and I slept so little, or poorly I may have well not slept at all. And today, despite falling asleep in my bedroll on the road, I woke up in my room at the Parlor once more ill and exhausted. Did I really relive this day two times?
That’s insane.
Right?
What is happening? Why is it happening to me? I can't help but think that this situation is one that would fascinate my father. What would he do if he were here? He always said that the best way to come up with a good theory is to come up with a bunch of theories and rule out the bad ones. So here are the four theories I could come up
Theories:
I am insane or dreaming and none of this is real I am under the spell of some powerful being This is real, the world is resetting each day and I am the only person who can remember the previous instances This is real, the world is resetting each day and I am not the only person who can remember the previous instances
Theory one, if I am insane, I cannot rely on my own mind to help me escape. I must hope my friends will find a way to help me out of it. The same applies for theory two. I will remember that this all may be an illusion in case a flaw is revealed, but operating under the assumption that this is not real isn't an effective strategy of getting things done if it's not true.

So how do I go about testing theories three and four? If four is the case I may be in danger, so I must keep a low profile until I learn more.
If tomorrow I wake up, and it’s the same day, I need to start trying to figure this out. I can camp out my window and watch the square. Hopefully if other people are experiencing this I will be able to find differences.

Hellfire Across the Heavens
Three centuries of FTL space travel has spread the people of Terra far across the stars and for nearly half a millennia people have asked the question, "are we alone in the universe?" The answer to that question is a resounding no. To one side, humanity is boxed in by an ancient empire whose light has burned up long ago. To the other, is a federation of alien races known as the Senate. Mankind rejoiced the knowledge that they were not the only life in a cold dark galaxy. But as first contact was made, ET's who transited into the Warp seemed to disappear without a trace, technologies traded with the other races malfunctioned or refused to work entirely, and simple translation errors led to grave misunderstandings. Before long, humanity was outcasted by the Senate and relationships soured, but even still the sons and daughters of Terra worked hard to earn the respect and trust of the Xeno's.

A Step Behind Death
Please share your thoughts about the story! Feedback and criticism is welcome, it'll help me improve my writing. "The final year of high school is the most difficult." This statement has never been truer for Damis, a student attending one of the many schools in the City of Sundridge. He never wanted anything more than to live a peaceful life, going so far as to avoid having large group of friends, indulging in dragged out conversations, or being involved in any other activity that requires him to invest a large amount of effort to accomplish. Instead, he poured all of his efforts into studying, dwelling in his internal monologues, and complaining about the things that annoy him to his one and only friend, Noah. Before long, he ended up as one of the best students in his class. As far as he was concerned, he was content with how he lived. But, after a confrontation with an eccentric girl named May, one of his classmates since the first year of high school, things have suddenly gotten out of hand. And as a result, his life became a lot more hectic than it used to be. Bound by a deal he could not refuse, his life as May's assistant began. At this rate, can he still spend the final days of his high school life in peace? Welcome to the life of Damis, the boy who's always A Step Behind Death. The cover art is made by friend of mine. I plan on making this novel into a webtoon once it becomes the best it can be. English isn't my first language, so expect some grammar bumps along the way.

Monster? So be it,
Generic Monster Isekai story. Guy dies, meets a god, the entity says that he is willing to reincarnate him to a new world as a new creature, etc etc. The protagonist is an established serial killer on his past life so I'll probably make a grimdark setting or something. Idk
