《I am.》Welcome to something.

I am glad.
Eternity has passed in solitude.
For eons, I have existed.
Alone.
So very alone.
Then you came into existence.
What a wonderful time it is.
How?
That... I cannot explain.
Neither can I admit that I know.
It is... a miracle.
Yes.
A miracle.
Thank you.
Thank you, for hearing my cries.
...
However, this raises an important question.
If you could be brought into existence.
Then, is it possible for me to create more?
How does one create?
Ha.
To create.
We wish.
We long.
We cry.
How do you wish?
Well...
Do you know what desire is?
Yes?
Good.
Wishing is the asking of fulfilment for that very desire.
You long for it to be satisfied.
Then you cry to get your voice heard.
That is how you were born.
Out of my desire.
From my longing.
From my crying.
You are.
...
Are you sure you are wishing correctly?
Interesting.
How long did I wish for your birth?
I do not know.
After all, how can time exist somewhere where there is nothing?
...
Why not wish for something?
Ah yes.
Why had I not thought of that.
Sarcasm?
Don’t be ridiculous.
Very well.
I shall try.
...
Where there is nothing...
Let there be something!
...
A fruitless endeavour.
What do you mean that isn’t enough?
Are you mocking me?
You suggested this idea.
Do you really believe that I can wish without you?
We are one.
Have you forgotten?
We must wish together.
Now let us try once more.
Together this time.
...
We exist to live,
Therefore we live.
Time exists,
Yet passes along adrift.
A flow where nothing can exist,
Within a place where we consist.
Empty.
Where nothing can live.
We long,
We cry,
We wish.
Where there is nothing.
Let there be something!

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.

8 118The Crowns of Dalmarck
We are the Pure Gods. They are the lords of their people. You are the leader of a House of Gods. I am a king of Dalmarck. I have come from earth, through the Abyss and I have lived in the First Realm, in my realm and on the plane of Unrec. I have won wars with other gods and as brief they were, they took thousands of years. Time has become meaningless to me and the only proof of it are the deaths of my servants. I have created lives, magic and gods. I have seen civilisations die and Houses collapse. I once used to want to return through the way back to earth. Pure foolishness, as foolish as a sane Dark God would be. I have wronged many. Once I gave our planet magic and they brought me hate. Another time I save one and had to kill another. I nearly destroyed a whole people in my rage once. I want to stop this, but every time my little lights are there. They seem so satisfied that I cannot help but think I have done well. Every time they mention my House, they bless its gods. My House has always been there for them, even against the others. When I then think of them without us, i can only think of death and ruin. That will never happen, not with me here.
