Annora stared down at her thin blanket. Her mouth drooped, her eyes were soft and sad. She looked healthy but unwashed. She looked well but tired.
“You’re going to be fine,” Tonia stated.
“Thanks, Ton, but you know as well as I do what’s going to happen,” Annora said. “I think this is going to be it.”
“You don’t know that.”
“I do, though. And so do you. You’ve seen it.”
“That might not mean anything. It’s psychology stuff, isn’t it? Your brain might just be remembering things and acting out. Or something. I don’t know.”
“Ton, it’s okay.”
“I’m sorry, but I’m not following,” Maggie interjected. “What’s happening here?”
“I’m one of his chosen ones.”
“You were, but they healed you, remember? At the Agency.”
Annora shook her head. “I don’t think so. I don’t think it worked.”
“Why do you say that?”
“I get these dreams,” Annora said slowly.
“Pff,” Maggie dismissed. “Dreams can mean so much. You experienced a trauma, and in that event, it’s very likely that you’ll re-live those moments in dreams. You probably just have PTSD.”
“She has seizures too,” Tonia added.
“That could also just be a symptom of injury. In trauma patients—”
“They’re not like normal seizures, Mags,” Tonia added. “They’re like… I don’t know. Something else.”
“You didn’t tell her anything?” Annora said. “She ought to be prepared.”
“Maybe we should go outside first, and I’ll explain in private.”
“No, please stay. Don’t worry about me—I can hear it.”
Tonia sighed. “It’s like… his power, and his voice, and his evilness are all inside her. And then it comes out in these bursts, and she’s not Annora anymore, she’s this thing that wants to destroy everything and everyone in the room. She becomes possessed.”

Maggie’s face dropped. “That’s why you wanted to come here, isn’t it? It’s not just to keep Annora company. You know something’s going to happen.”
“I’m sorry,” Tonia muttered. “I understand if you want to leave.”
“Yes, I would love to leave!” Maggie spurted. “I would love to just go home to my family and feel safe in my house. Even better, I would love for none of this to be happening. But what am I going to do, just take the moped and leave you here? Ride back through that disaster by myself? I don’t have a choice now, do I?”
“I’m really sorry, Maggie,” Annora blubbed.
“Annora, please don’t cry. It’s not your fault,” Maggie put her arm around Annora’s shoulder.
“I feel bad, though, because you don’t want to be here, but now you’re stuck.”
“It’s my fault,” said Tonia. “Maggie, I am sorry. I just wanted to do the right thing. The thought of not being here for her just broke my heart. I had to come. I shouldn’t have got you involved. But honestly, I was scared to come by myself.”
“What difference did you think I could make?!” Maggie shrugged.
“I don’t know—you’re Maggie! You’re good at everything. You always know what to do, and you’re good at staying calm. Shit, girl, you brought snacks. Who wouldn’t want you around?”
“What’s done is done, I suppose,” Maggie said sadly. “I forgive you.”
“Ton, did you hear from my parents?”
“They called me a while before I went to Maggie’s, but I haven’t heard anything since. I guess they’re on their way.”
“Wait, you’re in touch with Annora’s parents?”
“Yeah,” Tonia said. “We kind of had an agreement, that if anything happened, we’d come here. When they saw the news, they called me. That was a while ago, though.”

“I hope they’re all right,” Annora’s voice was muffled through her arms as they held tight around her knees.
“I’m sure they’re fine, Annora, it’s just a bit mad outside. There are people everywhere.”
“Why?” Annora replied. “What are they trying to do?”
Maggie and Tonia looked at each other and shrugged.
“I’m not sure,” Maggie admitted. “I guess they’re trying to do whatever people do in a crisis.”
“Yeah,” Tonia added. “I think they’re just trying to stay together.”

The Rise of the Winter Wolf
What would you do if your entire life was suddenly changed at the drop of a hat? The entire population of the world that you were born into suddenly transported to another planet along with the rest of the intelligent inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy. A strange System talking to you about abilities and levels without a care for your opinions. Thousands of monster spawning dungeons placed around the new world without a care for the new inhabitants. And if those weren't bad enough, a forced invitation for one thousand random individuals to compete in a livestreamed competition within a dungeon with the rank of Administrator as the prize. You don’t know? Well, it’s actually pretty simple. You survive. Our story follows Wolf Adler as he, along with every other human on Earth, are faced with a strange blue box filling up their vision, warning them about an upcoming reappropriation of every being of sufficient intelligence to a new planet for the initialization of some sort of System. Will he perish in this new world? Or will he thrive? Except for the first 4 chapters, Book 1 has been moved to Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Except for the first 4 chapters, Book 2 has been moved to Amazon Kindle Unlimited. If you do not have the financial means to purchase the books, then you may DM me on discord through my discord channel for a pdf version of the book. There is only one main protagonist, but the story does have more than one perspective that it is told from. It's mostly first person from the main protagonist and third person perspective for the livestreams. The beginning of the story has also been massively rewritten since most of the reviews as of 1/23/2022. The release schedule right now is dependent on my college classes and coursework, but I always try to keep it to at least one chapter every other day, if not one chapter every day. I do not write sexual content or harem stuff. I am also not very interested in writing romance, so if you think you might see some romance, then you are probably wrong unless it's only a slight hint at romance or a slow romance very far into the story. Lastly, know that I don't like long-winding antagonists that get on everyone's nerves and last throughout the entire story. And I do like plot twists, so if you are predicting something that you think is going to happen later on that you dislike, (particularly around the middle to end of book two) then it likely won't happen.
