《RWO - Dreams of another world》28 - Becoming
Advertisement
I can't say anything for a while. Zach and Kithera are looking at me. They aren't saying anything.
I close my eyes.
--------------------
I'm running.
I'm running in town. It's my first day. I feel like I'm a passenger in my own body. I see the people in town. The ones that I saw that day. The difference between players and the townsfolk is obvious to me now. Not just the nameplates. The way people walk and move and interact. It all looks so very different even though its the same.
I'm talking to myself. Out loud. The other me. The one I was back then. I was so confused.
I see the ceiling fan. The one that terrified me the first night.
Doktor Urmind. I don't know if he's a villain or a hero or just...
I see my game world. The one where I was born. Townspeople are giving out quests. Players are running from place to place, like they don't have enough time. I live in a game.
My player. I loved those lists he made.
The world outside Kithera's house is so vivid. I love the way grass feels.
I see Kithera for the first time. My first real world person. I feel something inside now, warm, comforting, even better than cows.
I'm running through town. My world has just changed from home to something else. The townspeople aren't people; they're moving things. My away character is just some part of the game.
I miss Doktor Urmind. I don't know who he is. I think he cares about me.
He found me when I was in the darkness. Except for that last time. Is he lost in the darkness?
Kithera and David, Zach and Kithera, Doktor Urmind...
I know people. They know me.
I exist.
I open my eyes.
--------------------------
They're still looking at me. Waiting.
"Um, hi." I wave at them.
Zach says, "Hi Hashi."
Kithera says, "Yes, you are real. In any world you are in you are real.
"I kind of figured that one out. Thanks for telling me though."
"Now, where did Doktor Urmind go?"

Advent: Red Mage
Book 1 and 2 of the Redmage series are being published on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Due to the exclusivity clause, I have been forced to take down the vast majority of the book. You can read book one here. Book two here.Drew Michalik was working in a top-secret facility in Washington, D.C. when the Advent began. As all electronics in the world simply ceased to work, blue screens filled with information appeared before him. Drew gained access to a mana interface and a limited number of reality-altering crystals called Xatherite. Following the instructions on his vision-impairing screens, he ‘slotted’ his Xatherite and changed his fate: he gained the ability to cast spells. Now alone in the dark, he must battle through the government bunker-turned-dungeon in a desperate bid for survival. Escape is only the beginning; the first of his many problems in the changed world. Drew will be tasked to not only survive… but to guide the rest of humanity safely through the anarchy. Light LitRPG elements, no harem. Updates on Monday.
8 209The Simulations
After ascending from his last life to become a Champion our hero has his memories locked. He is told that he must compete in competitive simulations against other Champions in order to earn enough to continue to simulate his consciousness. The competitive simulations have a variety of scenario genres, and may or may not have a game interface. The first competitive simulation our hero faces is from the Summoned Hero/Traveller to a New World genre, and is set as Fantasy Realistic - no game interface. He must ensure that the person he chose in the simulation's setup survives the end of the world in order to win. Author's note: I'm committing to one arc of four books. The arc has its own complete storyline. And each book has its own individual storyline as well. Each book also has 60 chapters, for a total commitment of 240 chapters. I'm aiming for a release schedule of a chapter every 23 hours.

8 204Free Your Mind
A journey through the mind can be a mixture of the good, the bad, the pure, and the evil. Free Your Mind is a collection of poems and short stories that I've written over the years. As of now, this book is still in progress, but I've planned to release at least 25 to 30 chapters minimum for Free Your Mind. Hopefully you enjoy reading through the works already published for this book, and I hope you'll stick around for what's to come in the future. If you have any comments, ideas, critiques, etc. please let me know! I'm always open to what people have to say about my work. Free Your Mind is a way for me to dabble into releasing my writings for the public to read. And hopefully, if all goes decent with this book, I'll continue to upload different works alongside this. Note: Currently the cover work for Free Your Mind isn't mine. I plan to upload an original design once I've completed the chapters for this book.
