Saegusa Sakura POV
"Hey, Sakura-chan!"
"What do you want, Akeno?" I ask. Saegusa Sakura, an heir to the Saegusa Clan and, more importantly, The Saegusa Conglomerate. Though she is an heir, she knows it is highly more likely that her twin brother, Sora, becomes the next Clan Head and CEO of the company. Though there is no doubt that she is leagues above her brother when it comes to academics, her brother inherited their father's business and martial arts talent. She reigns supreme on all academic subjects, getting almost perfect scores in every quiz, test, and exam.
"Did you hear the news? There is supposed to be a transfer student coming today, which that explains the homeroom period, and I hear he is going to join our class" Akeno says,
"Did you find out if they are male or female?" I ask, "I am not sure, but I am guessing it's a male if it was a girl these male students of ours would be more excited" I laugh at her comment "Elite students or not, they are still hormonal teenagers" Akeno and I laugh at my joke.
She continues to say "I also heard he is a foreigner" I shake my head with a smile, I didn't want to ask her how she knew this info, but she was sure Akeno must have taken a quick peek at this new student's file. She couldn't help but take another look at her best friend.
Though she may look like your typical big boobed airhead, she is part of the Watanabe Clan. The Watanabe Clan on the surface seems to just be the owners of Japan's greatest security firm, but behind the scenes, they are Japan's most powerful Shinobi Clan. She had known Akeno ever since they were 3 years old, our clans have been allies for centuries and have come to depend on one another.

I sometimes find it hard to believe that this girl in front of her is the greatest ninjutsu practitioner that the Watanabe Clan has ever seen since their First Clan Head. Her family has tasked her to protect both my brother and me but since Sora is stronger than her, she just stays by my side.
As the class leader, Akeno quickly got everyone's attention. She stood up and said, "Hey guys! I don't know why the new student is late, but he should be here at any moment now, so let's give him a warm welcome, okay?" Everyone seems to nod in response to her words.
'They only listen to her because she's beautiful' I thought to myself as a smile formed on my face. Suddenly, the classroom turned eerily quiet, I looked around as to see what had happened when I heard the footsteps in coming from the hallway outside the classroom.
'What is going on?' I thought '… those footsteps, why are they resonating inside my chest? They seem to come from deep within the earth…" I took a glance at Akeno and the rest of her class 'it seems I'm not the only one finding something weird, almost everyone has puzzled look on their face' the footsteps seem to get louder, and I start to get a cold chill down my spine.
Akeno's face seems to turn serious, a look she hardly ever sees. She turns to look at her brother, on the other side of the classroom, and he looks back, the look in his eyes startles her and make her take a sharp breath. He only has this look when we are in mortal danger, being heirs to one of the most powerful forces in Japan, we have had our fair share of assassination attempts. She could only look at her bother with his katana in his hand, as if he is ready for any attack, knowing full well that it's not a person he will be able to handle by himself.

Just as the footsteps seem to almost reach the door, her world collapses. Suddenly, an overbearing pressure came crashing down on everyone. To me, it felt as the weight of the entire sky had fallen on my head! Across the classroom, everyone simultaneously headbutted their tables, 'That hurts!!' I scream in my head, 'I can't lift my head! Why can't I lift my head?! What is going on?!' I can hear as Akeno, Sora, and a couple of other students gritting their teeth as they try to push their heads of the table, to no avail.
Their bodies aren't responding to their commands, it as if their bodies are instinctively bowing down in front of this almighty presence. But just as the pressure arrived, it similarly disappeared, as if it was nothing but an illusion. Most of the class seemed confused, they had no idea was just happened to them, while few in the class were in high alert.
Then we hear the door open, and everyone seems to turn towards it. In walks in the new student 'huh?! Doesn't he seem a little too normal? I thought. 'Other than his clothes and hairstyle, his looks are just above average, but did that pressure come from him? He doesn't seem strong at all!' I take a closer look at this new student.
This boy was around 185 cm tall with long, black hair that seems to be intricately braided in a style that basically screamed 'Viking Warrior'. He was wearing an all-black expensive suit, that seemed to somehow seem to give his overall appearance a certain charm. He gave off a refined aura of a noble but at the same time gave off a wild feeling, like a majestic lion.
Then I looked at his eyes, and I froze for a second, though my own eyes have a slight pink hue to them, I've never seen eyes like his before. They were black, an abysmal black, eyes that seem to be able to suck the soul right out of you and when the light hit them, they seem to slightly glow purple.
'Though he is not the most handsome man I have ever seen, he definitely has some charm to him' My face starts to feel a little hot at this thought. I hear him start to introduce himself and wake up from my little stupor.

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

The Guild
The world is broken. The apocalypse came and went, and only a fragment of humanity is left, scrambled into an unrecognizable mess. The remainders of the earth are filled with monsters from imagination and worse. Gates open periodically, leading to alien worlds, while dungeons form from damaged minds, creating nightmares for the unsuspecting. Some might see it as the end times. A hellscape. A story of humans pushed to their breaking points, desperately grasping for the last bits of humanity as the world crumbles around them. But a few might disagree. One man, in particular, sees opportunity. A chance. A path forward, to bring humanity from the depths of despair and turn it into a victory - a luxury. To remake the world even better than it was, dragging earth forward onto the galactic stage. It will require violence, lies, betrayals, magic, more violence, and the occasional genocide. But, hey. Everything worth doing is hard, right?
