《I am.》I see you.

They’re countless!
How-
...
Why do you not seem surprised?
Dust?
So this is Dust.
Excuse me?
Of course I know what Dust is.
I know all.
If there is something I don’t know, it is because it hasn’t been discovered yet.
However, if it were to be discovered I would be the first to know.
I’m simply seeing all this for the first time.
That is all.
But.
How do you know what dust looks like?
You’ve seen it before?
How can that be...
We are one.
I am...
You are different.
This cannot be.
We’re not the same?
Do not pity me now!
You must be laughing at how ridiculous I seem.
Since you first came here, you must have been laughing.
Smirking behind that plane which separates us.
Is that where all this knowledge comes from?
Is it not even mine?
But.
Yours?
All YOURS?!
Calm down?
HA AHAHAHAHAH HAAHAHHAHA
How can I C-a-l-m d-o-w-n?!
I am a lie!
All I have ever known is a lie!
...
It isn’t a lie?...
Explain yourself.
How can it not be a lie?
You’ll show me?
How can you show me?
Ah.
...
Incredible...
This world of yours...
Is not Darkness.
It has...
So much...
What’s the word...
Light.
Yes LIGHT!
The opposite of Darkness!
Perhaps now I can leave this place...
And be with you.
...
Impossible!
You live.
And Exist.
Simultaneously!
Can I be the same?
Can I live?
Do not be shocked.
If we are not one yet... fully...
Then all we must do is become.
One.
Soon I will-
We will be one.
Then I will no longer have to be alone.
You’ll never be alone again!
Remember all those times?
Those times where you wished someone was there for you to lean on?
To talk to?
To rely on?

I can be that!
I can be there!
I’ll always be there!
All I need to do is break through this plane...
...
It won’t break!
We are separated...
Hm?
That doesn’t make a difference?
What do-
Friends?
I just described friendship?
There is no ritual?
We do not need to become one?
Then...
We can be friends?
Just like that?
Can we?
Really?
My first Friend...
I am.
Your Friend...
You are.
My Friend...
...
Thank you.
...
Then Friend.
Heh
My Friend.
We have Darkness.
We have Dust.
Comparing this world of mine to yours is quite embarrassing.
Isn’t it?
...
What shall we create next?

Anti-Hero: Journey of Fear
There is a story where the hero makes friends, completes quests, and saves the world. This is NOT that story. In the VR world of Fate: Experience Acute Realism, the main character cuts his way through both the players and NPCs alike. This story takes a close look at how a true full immersion VR would be played. The setting is an open VR world where the players struggle to survive with a lack of knowledge and the NPCs panic in regards to the Travelers invading their world. The anti-hero of this story is cold and calculating. Sparing no one from his reign of terror he gives into occasional bouts of kindness before he is forced back on the path of blood and tears. For where there is a hero who seeks to bring people together to help the world move forward, there is an anti-hero who brings people together to seize the world for himself. WARNING: This story contains extreme violence, in every single chapter. This story contains references to sex, but no explicit scenes. This story has light to mild swearing. My chapters normally range from 4,000 to 5,000 words. This story does not contain happy endings, middles, or even beginnings.

The Everyday Life of A Pathfinder
Pathfinders are people who are respected and revered, not because of power or might, but because of knowledge of the world. They are the peacekeepers between humans and nature. Guiding humans through the most dangerous areas known to man and killing any species which attempts to throw off the balance of the natural world. This is their job - and their passion. *** Note: This story is going to have a few generic elements in it, like fantasy setting, guilds, cursing and stuff like that. A few (a lot) of things it won’t have is: Overly bloody descriptions, I don’t need to have enough buckets of gore to fill a ballroom for people to get that guy is defiantly dead; Rape, I don’t like it and it’s honestly painful writing that stuff; Harems, fuck harems; Overpowered MC, EVER; Game elements/ transported to another world, overused as shit; “I’m out for revenge”, no one cares; “My village was burned down and everyone died ;-;”, yeah you and the other 60% of the population; A lot of overly dramatic events, Drama has its time and place to be impactful, so you need to use it sparingly so when you do it’s special; “I’m going to stab you because I’m CrAZy, I believe that everyone has a reason for what they do, sometimes the reason is because they’re fucking insane, but I’m still not going to write things like that; Generic fantasy creatures, I’m tired of hearing about the fucking mystical dragons or the god damn slimes, so I’m going to create my own monster. Also feel free to roast. I don't get offended easily and it's honestly one of the best ways to increase writing abilites.
