《What do you wish for?》4. The Impossible Made Possible
Advertisement
Day after day passed, and Norman’s resentment towards the world grew. It felt like no one noticed him. Like the world had turned against him. He started to wonder whether anyone at school would care if he was gone. How would they react if he died? How would his father react if he died? Norman wanted to find out.
So he decided to fake his death.
After some online research, Norman realized that it would be too difficult to pull off. The logistics were too complicated. The police would see through it. It would be impossible. He felt disheartened and angry.
And then he had an idea. The impossible had been made possible once before…
So, on one cold winter evening, in early January, sixteen-year-old Norman prayed to Cyubo, requesting aid in faking his death. The fleshy cube materialized in a puff of red smoke. It had taken only a few minutes to arrive. Significantly faster than its first appearance.
The cube moved in that indescribable way it moved. Its thousand eyes seemed to peer into his soul, but, strangely, not in a judgemental way.
“You called?” it asked, vibrating a tad.
“Yes,” Norman replied, “I did.”
The cube floated in the air next to him, waiting.
Norman continued, “Help me fake my death. Let me see how everyone reacts when I die.”
“Understood,” Cyubo said, “For one day and one night you will be able to see the effect of your death through your astral projection. Is that acceptable?”
Norman nodded.
The cube disappeared.
Norman laid down in bed. Tomorrow, he would finally see what the world truly thought of him. He would reveal the true colors of those bastards at school. The ones who quietly watched. Judged. Gossiped. Maybe his father would come home. He could hardly wait.

Void Breaker
Note: Sadly, this story is currently on hiatus :( Elizabeth Sayler had lost everything in the bombing of Reaver Stadium. Her career, her fame, her power — all of it vanished the moment she lost use of her legs. Now, she's beginning to lose hope of ever healing herself… until her world integrates into the Void. When the apocalypse comes in a flurry of System messages, everyone on earth is given a choice: give up what they value most in themselves, and acquire a path to their heart’s greatest desire. Most would hesitate, but for Liz? She has nothing to lose, and absolutely everything to gain. Armed with newfound powers in a world teeming with monsters, she’s determined to not only survive, but to somehow break the Void’s endless assault. * * * This is a small note about the portrayal of disability in this story. As much research as I do and as many people as I ask, I will in the end only be able to understand a small portion of paraplegia and similar disabilities. Therefore, if there is anything particularly disrespectful, please do not hesitate to contact me. I always intended to portray disability in a respectful way in this story, but please know that Liz as a character does not start out with a healthy view of disability. This is intentional, and a large part of her character development comes from this view changing as she learns. Disability is not something she simply "discards" at the beginning of the story, but an ongoing theme and a part of her journey.

Cycles of Power
Riva is a sapient dungeon trying to survive and discover where she came from. But no one exists in isolation. Will Riva be able to survive the adventurers and intrigue to come? Who is this human in her visions? Will Riva ever reclaim her past and secure a future?... Thousands of years ago wild dungeons appeared out of nowhere and conquered the world. Armies could not hold back the infinite hordes of spawned monsters. The sapient races barely eked out survival in the corners of the world. Only the infighting between the savage dungeons allowed the sentient races to outlive these dark ages. Out of this struggle, adventurers were forged. By conquering weaker dungeons, adventurers discovered how to capture life energy to perform great feats of strength and create magic. Now, as adventurers pushed back dungeons, population boomed again. But with rising numbers comes new factions, greed, and war. Caught among these powerhouses lies Riva. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ On hiatus for the foreseeable future. I finished the first arc, improved my writing a lot, and learned I want to write from a humanoid perspective. Currently building up chapters for new series.
