True Identity
Chapter 2 - This Is Just Getting Embarrassing
“Hello, are you there?”
…
“I guess caller number 1000 isn’t there anymore, we will chose another caller at random in a second. Well that’s a sham…”
Finally realizing that it was his call that was the 1000th one, James started to panic.
“Wait! Wait! I’m here, this is caller number 1000!”
“Oh hi caller 1000 you finally answer us.”
“Yes I’m sorry I just didn’t think that I would actually win so I wasn’t really paying much attention.”
Giggle
Oh man they are laughing at me. This is so embarrassing.
“It’s alright, what’s your name caller 1000?”
“My name is James Oliver.”
“Alright James, how do you feel right now that you won a VR Headset and a copy of Absolute Authority?”
“Umm… I am really… excited right now… I can’t believe I have actually won….”
I was so excited that I was slurring and stuttering my words. *sigh* This is just getting more and more embarrassing.
“I guess that is to be expected. Well congratulations James for winning a VR Headset and a copy of the game Absolute Authority!”
Afterwards GR radio brought me to a private call and I had to tell them my address and other information so they could send the VR Headset and a copy of AA once it comes out in the summer. Which is in about 2 months.

I’m so happy right now, I think I might pee my pants. This is the best thing that has happened to me since I was… 12 years old. Ah man, now I feel depressed. Sigh Whatever let’s just go to work then go home.
…
When I got home from work I heard Haley cooking dinner
“Welcome back James, how was work?”
“Same as usual, fine.”
“Hey, I was listening to GR radio station earlier today and someone named James Oliver won a VR Headset and a copy of the game AA. Was it you?”
I started laughing.
“Yeah, it was me.”
“I knew it was you! You have such good luck. After hearing that you won, I also decided to get a part-time job so by summer I’ll be able to buy a VR Headset and a copy of the game. Then we’ll be able to play together, what do you think?”
Remembering my promise to my parents I said, “Nope, I forbid you from working. You must keep your grades up so you can go to a good college.”
“What, but I want to play with you!”
Haley started tearing up. Ah man, I can’t stand looking at my little sister crying.
“Don’t worry I’ll take another part-time job and then we’ll be able to afford the merchandise. Then we can play together, how does that sound?”
“Nooo, James you always use your time for me. Why can’t I do it myself?”
“Because I care about you and I want you to do well in school without any distraction.”
Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to change my stubbornness, she finally complied.
Making a pouting face
“Fine, just don’t work too hard for me.”
I started laughing. My little sister was just too cute.
“Don’t worry, I won’t overwork myself.”
We ate dinner and then went to bed

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.
8 275My Martial Spirit is System
Zhen Lun was called 'trash' just because he was unable to advance further. Many people mocked him for his uselessness. However, with his strong will to get stronger, he managed to breach his bottleneck. He managed to breach into the Spirit Condensing Realm and obtain his Martial Spirit. His Martial Spirit was a mysterious one. He neither heard or seen something like this before. It was a transparent screen that displayed words and pictures. It called itself System. ---- The cover is not mine, the credit goes to MikeWe ---- I'll be honest with you guys, The System is not user-friendly, it doesn't care about the user. For more information about the system, please stay with me until the end.
