18th December, Bali Airport
Hendrik got a called from his brother to come and pick him up at the airport...
"This guy has been doing strange things the last couple of weeks... he forces us to move to Bali, then he left us here, now when I was actually having fun with those two Australian chicks, this brother of mine had to bother me with picking him up.. can't he just take taxi or Grabcar?"
"Where is he now? he' so lateeeee..."
"Wow there is a beautiful bule (blonde) there.. she's really my type... Wow the women next to her is even better... they both look like a supermodel..., that guy in the middle... what a lucky lucky guy..."
"That guy looks familiar..."
"..."
"That's my brother..."
"Alex...." yoo.. brother I am here!!"
Alex walks closer to him..."There you are... ok lets go.."
"What do you mean let's go..? you haven't introduced me to these two lovely ladies..."
"Halo.. my name is Hendrik, Alex's unmarried brother.."
Alex introduced both of the women to him. Although Cindy looks like a book-smart person with glasses and short hair, she's very energetic and friendly. While Aria is the complete opposite.
The reason Alex called his brother was exactly that he knows his brother really well. If his brother has the ability, he would move heaven and earth for beautiful babes. Therefore he asks his brother to bring Cindy and Aria for a tour around Bali... Although Alex has many things he has to prepare, today is family time. Aria and Cindy understood, Alex told them to meet again tomorrow at the Bay city villa. Meanwhile, Hendrik will be their guide today...
After all, what would his wife think if she saw these two women with him...

Alex went directly to the hotel, his family has a tour around different hotel the last 2 weeks, Alex sort of confuse which one they are staying right now.
Alex found them in Ritz Carlton hotel, one of the best five-star hotel in Bali. The hotel has its own private beach, the sand is white... His family is there. His wife Devita, older daughter Tiffany and little one Tiarra.
Tiffany is very energetic and playful kids, she smiles a lot and likes to prank on people. While Tiarra is very strict and serious like her mother, She is very disciplined but stubborn. At the moment both the girl are playing sand on the white beach, their mom is enjoying a fruit juice in the cabana.
The girls saw their Dad... "DADDDYYYYY!!!"
"Heii girls" They both hug him from both sides... This is one of the great things of having a family"
"Daddy you went away so longgggg"
"I am very sorry girls"
"Daddy help us built sand castles"
Alex has an architectural degree, he and the girls ended up spend a few hours on the castle and built an almost real size one... His wife just smiling looking at them. Lastly, Alex pulled his wife and the four of them create a sands statue of themselves. His wife has a classic Polaroid camera, they took pictures of four of them with the sand statue, the castle and the sunset in the background. They have a little group hug that afternoon on the white sand beach...
Alex suddenly lost in thought... today he's very happy, he will keep this memory forever...
He closes his eyes, suddenly he thought of that grey figure guy, even if this world is only a dream, he is thankful for this moment, he's thankful for the second chance.

The storm will come in 12 days, it's about time to prepare his family, they should not be in the dark any longer.
The family then went to a fancy Balinese restaurant for dinner, afterward returning back to the hotel, Alex took the little girls to their bed, read them some kids fantasy novel and tug their blanket to sleep. Hugs and Kisses, "Good night girls".
Alex went to the other room his wife is here, she apparently just finished taking shower, wet hair was randomly hanging over her shoulders.
"Thank you for taking the girls to bed tonight"
Alex replied, "Your welcome, I hope I can do it more often"
They have been married for 13 years, Although Alex is all smiley and laughing today, she knows that there is something that bothers him for the last few weeks. The sudden move to Bali, the crazy work schedule, and missing for a week.
"Do you want to tell me what's going on now?"
Alex look at his wife, she's always been smart, but not now...
Alex moves closer to his wife and hugs her deeply, she was startled. Alex moves took her by surprise. He hugs her for almost one full minute, and she slowly moves her arms and hugs back. He really needs this, the 11 years of pain seems gradually disappearing. Alex can taste the wonderful smell of shampoo from his wife's hair, he gently kissed her on her ear and down to her neck, she involuntarily moaned a little. Alex sways back a little looking at her eyes then slowly move forward and felt a pair of soft lips, they become entangled in a kiss. it was a passionate night.
Another day has passed. In the morning while Devita is still asleep, Alex was in deep thought. Revealing about the doomsday to his wife will be harder than anyone else. Although they just had a memorable night, he knows that actually, their relationship is a bit complicated.
Its a very classic marriage story, two-person was in love, but when children were moving into the picture, they were unaware that their relationship starts to move closer towards their children, and further away between each other.
On Alex previous life the death of Tiffany broke them apart. That is the main reason that Alex was unable to protect them both. So he really needs to handle this news about the end of days delicately.
A few minutes later Devita awake... and saw Alex staring at her then speak;
"Its time for you to know what I have been doing the last few weeks"
Alex sound really serious, this has startle his wife.
Alex told her that he got news about a plague that would spread at the end of the year.. he told her that he and a few other people even the military have prepared a survival shelter here in Bali. The last few weeks he got more support and more proof about this plague will happen even the extraterrestrial existence that might involve.
Devita was stunned, she doesn't know how to answer... His husband likes to joke around.. and this time its a bit too far she thinks...
"I planned to take you for a trip today, to see the shelter and the preparation. I will introduce you to some people and I want you to monitor the situation. I will answer any of your questions later on today"
Alex left his two daughters to their grandparents and went together to the Bay city with his wife.

8 392Stranger than Fiction (Draft Edition)
Rewrite -> https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/55140/stranger-than-fiction 150k words of rewritten and new content, updating 3 times a day. Faith is like ice-cream. It comes in all flavors. Greek, Norse, Sumerian, Christian— just name it and it's there. Adventures, on the other hand, are like credit cards. The first taste is free, but the price only goes up from there. Family heirlooms, now those are true evil. You get burdened with them for sentimental reasons even if they’re icky. For Lukas Aguilar, it was a pendant. A small, weird metal nib with absolutely no vampiric tendencies. All he wanted was to finish the job at hand, and get on that book he had been postponing for a while now. Instead he got served with an apocalypse for breakfast, a cave full of eldritch monsters for the company and the whims of a ruined goddess for his To-Do list. Really, a simple NO from the universe would have sufficed. Acknowledgments Editor-in-Chief: Solo Starfish Artwork: Exodus
8 125The Monster Inside: The First Vampire
Despite appearances, there was once a time where monsters did not exist. Where peace and prosperity reigned over all life. But those sinful and demonic forces that had hidden themselves in the shadows just couldn't help themselves could they? They wanted a piece of that prosperity too. They wanted to taint it, corrupt it, revel in its dark side.This is the story of a boy who was tainted. Of a boy who unintentionally bore a seed of sin and who in his naivety let it out. This is the story of how that boy was shamed and disgraced. Of how he was outcast for simply being. This is the story of how that boy learned to embrace the darkness that made him different. A darkness that would later make him known as the Lord of Night. Note to Reader: I understand this book is not for everyone, if there is a writer that can write to please everyone, I have never heard of them. The MC can be frustrating in his decisions as he learns to grow and accept what and who he is. I believe this reality is unavoidable. That being said, if you feel the need to give a review, please do so, just know that I will report you if all that review seems to do is blab toxic language and insult my literary choices without giving constructive advice or alternatives. That's not just a me policy, that's a policy of this website. I'm not writing this note because I'm a writer who does not acknowledge that there are faults in my work. I know there are. That's what happens when it hasn't been professionally edited by someone other than the author. I'm saying this because I'm sick of reading 1 star or 0.5 star rated reviews that seem to do nothing but hate on the book because they don't like the story. No comments on grammar, ways to improve or suggestions for better story arcs. Just plain hate. It's not on, and I frankly shouldn't have to write this note, but needed to get it off my chest. In saying all that, thank you to those who do leave reviews that don't fall into the above category. Your appreciation of my work, or alternatively, your willingness to give advice for improvement, is appreciated.
8 1696From Fake Dreams
The Magus Killer was dying. He had done all he could to be a Hero and save as many people as he could. He killed his father to do it. He killed his adopted mother to do it. He killed his wife in the hopes to put an end to the need to do it ever again. He failed in rescuing his daughter as a result of his efforts. All he had left was a cursed and failing body, a sizable yet antiquated home in Fuyuki Japan, and his adoptive amnisiac son whose life he had destroyed in the first place. And then the dreams came. Dreams of War, Fire, Curses, unborn Gods, Heroes, and Monsters. Dreams of unresolved conflicts, promises, dreams, and tasks. Dreams with his nearly clueless son in the middle of it all. The Magus Killer was dying. But he could still prepare for what was to come. And fortunately, that was something he was still terrifyingly exceptional at. Currently at chapter 60 on FF.net

8 138Shieldmaiden: Unbroken
An instant is all that's needed to change a persons life. A single encounter. A single desire can bring together many people to change the world. One thought. From the moment humanity began its course of self-destruction, there were those who desired to change the world for the better. To stop the harm to their planet, and themselves, a group of people came together and formed a world from their imaginations. They decided that humanity could not be a part of the world they would destroy, and would allow the world to recoup. They would pull the people from their world in groups, and until everyone was gone, every month more people would be brought to this new world. An unfamiliar world. An unfamiliar people. An unfamiliar system. I never expected to write a LITRPG, or an Isekai, and I'm not confident I can do it well, but I liked writing the first chapters, so I'm gonna try my best! Also, I don't recommend reading it on mobile.
