《What if...?》What if you couldn't speak?
Advertisement
The trio woke up at the sound of loud alarm. They weren't in the same white room as they expected. They were outside. The town looked dead and old, with an exception of a big billboard. It lit up and the lady appeared on it.
"Your next what if scenario is: What if you couldn't speak? Go on try to speak."
Agnes opened her mouth to curse the lady but nothing came out. She moved her lips as if she were speaking but it was all quiet.
"You will have to survive in this town for a day. If you do, you will go to the next challenge and if you lose, well, you will already be dead."
Then the billboard changed to a timer with hours, minutes and seconds writen on it.
Agnes tried sign to guys but then remembered they don't know the sign language. Roman took a stick and wrote a message on the ground: "We should try to find some food and water." Oliver and Agnes nodded.
They looked inside the houses, but found nothing useful. Now Agnes took the stick and wrote on the ground: "We can survive without food and water for a day, but I still think we should get some. If we listen we might hear a river or we could just walk around till we find one."
Then they started walking to the forest. After long time of walking they found a river. Oliver brought a pot from one of the houses and poured water in. Roman and Agnes understood they would to have to boil it.
Agnes took out a lighter she always carried around, along with her tarot cards and some other things. Roman picked up some wood and Agnes joined him, meanwhile Oliver made a fireplace.
When Agnes and Roman returned, Agnes lit up the fire and Roman put on the pot with the water. The three of them sat down closely to each other, with Agnes in the middle, Oliver on her right and Roman on her left.

Finally the water started boiling and they let it boil for a few minutes before putting out the fire. Then they let it cool down before drinking it.
Agnes took out her deck of cards and did some reading. She looked like she couldn't understand something, but then her face became relieved. She looked at the guys as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Oliver got tierd and lay down to catch some sleep. Roman just watched them both, each doing their things and thought how it would be when they got out of here. He looked at Oliver, who was now already peacefully sleeping.
A wind breeze tore off a leaf and it landed on Oliver's face. Roman saw that and took it of him. As he did that he touched Oliver's face.
Agnes saw that and smiled. She wanted to tease him, but she couldn't speak, so she just turned back to her cards.
After some time she also got sleepy and so she lay down. Roman was still feeling too anxious to sleep, so he just sat down and watched now Oliver, now Agnes.
After some time he also got sleepy and so he lay in between Oliver and Agnes.
Next day when all the three of them awoke, they decided to walk back to the city with the giant billboard.
When they arrived the clock showed 10 hours left. They all lost track of time, so they expected it to be lower, but it wasn't. After some quiet sitting, Agnes realized she actually had two decks of tartot cards and so she took both of them and mixed them together. Then she walked into one of the houses and tried to find a desk that wasn't damaged too much. When she found one, she placed the cards on in. Then she walked outside and grabbed both of the boys and made them follow her inside. And so they played one of the simplest games, memory matching game.

They played for quite some time, until they go really bored again. Without talking everything felt so lifeless. And the fact that they were the only people here, didn't help at all.
Roman and Oliver started making music by hitting a stick against the rock and whistling. Agnes just looked at them and after some time she joined it. When they also got bored of that they looked at the clock. 7 and a half hours left.
Agnes went to get some water to boil it and Oliver tried to find anything else that is useful. Roman just started stretching and so, they all did their things.
After some time Oliver decided to take a nap, meanwhile Agnes and Roman played rock, paper, scissors and after that, they played tic-tac-toe.
5 hours left. Oliver woke up from his nap. Agnes was drawing with a stick and Roman was just sitting there, looking all bored.
All of them excepted this challenge to be really simple, but it was so boring, that they had a feeling like it took months.
Oliver worte in the ground, asking Agnes to teach him sign language, Roman saw that and joined them.
After she wrote the meaning on the ground she showed it with her hands, then boys tried to repeat. And so they learned how sign the American alphabet, and how to say some simple phrases, but nothing more than that, since even Agnes didn't know much more. She wanted to look it up on her phone, but that was literally the one and only thing they took from them. She looked at the clock, 3 hours left.
Roman went back to the river, took off his shoes, socks and shirt and then went in. The water was cold, really cold, but he still decided to swim. Oliver walked to the river few minutes later and saw Roman swimming. At first Oliver wanted to join him, but after stepping in for just a moment, he changed his mind and so he just sat there and watched his friend swimming.
When Roman saw that Oliver wasn't coming in, he splashed him with water and he looked like he was laughing without voice. Oliver splashed him back, but since he was already in the water, it didn't have much of an impact. Then he took some dirt from the ground and soon after the two of them had a mud fight. After some time they stoped and Roman went underwater to clean the dirt off and in that moment Oliver realized, he will have to do that as well.
Oliver slowly approached the water, taking of clothes now wouldn't be smart, since they where all dirty from the dirt. He stepped in with one leg and his whole body shaked from cold. Roman took his hand and dragged him in. Although Oliver didn't quite like that, he didn't get mad at Roman. Roman then cleaned off his clothes.
After both of them where cleaned they went out of the river and back to the giant billboard. When they saw Agnes sitting by the fire, they ran to get closer and warm themselves.
There was just one hour left. They spent it around the fire, just sitting there, warming themselves.
When the all of the timers digits turned to zero, there was this light rain that took out the fire and after that they all got really sleepy.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)

One Piece: The Elder Twin
(Previously known as Being Luffy isn't Lucky) An utterly random person comes to their senses to find out that they're being dangled by their legs, not to mention that they feel some slight vertigo. Upon realisation, they discover that they've become... ahem, I mean they share a body with the one known as Monkey D. Luffy and they also have no idea who they are themselves! The one thing they do know? They used to be an absolute loner. (EDIT: So... a few months later and I come back to this and read like a few chapters. Only to realize the absolute rubbish the story and everything has become. There was many needlessly developed things that just waste chapters and don't even develop anything. The fiction's Mary Sue was horrendously developed. I'm just repeating myself to try and convey how terrible it developed... like seriously. IF I were to update the fiction again I would be thinking of improved concepts and ways to present everything which would contradict the entire way I previously presented everything.)
