Later on the same night.
Cambridge, Massachutes, under some bridge.
Two sisters each with their thick layered of shabby clothes that they never changed, threw many things into the fire to keep their body warm.
"*Achoo!* Crystal... Help me get more things." Said Amber.
Throwing everything from papers, woods, rag clothes, anything they could use to beat the chilling cold that pierced their bone.
Scavenging through the dumpster, scratching around to find papers. While the girl around Amber age take a good care of their nail, painted it with a beautiful color, adding some accessory. Amber hands were their counterpart, nails crackling around painted with the brown color of dirt, callous on her fingers and rough hands.
The same case happened on Crystal, body was thin, face was dirty, snot was falling from her nose. Forgot about acting like a princess that danced around on the ice, she had enough knowledge about the danger from the cold, rather than dancing or spinning around she would choose to curl up and grabbed as many cloths as she could to cover her body.
Though for this time, some kind of joy filled her eyes when she found something.
"Hey! Hey! Amber! Read this for me!" Said Crystal, she handed a book that was still in a good condition compared to the other books.
Moving it a little bit toward the fire, Squinted her eyes, Amber saw the book with its Dark blue cover, gray letters that formed a word. "N..Name...Nameless Book?"

Skimmed through its first few pages, no table of contents, only empty biodata and questions. "Ah!! this is a choose your own storybook right?"
"....? What's that?" Asked Crystal.
"Right, you never know, let's see..." Hands crawled at the ground, searching for some kind of tool that could be used for writing, the one that she found was a pencil, not longer than a toddler's finger with its broken black lead. "Ah! Found one!"
Pinched the pencil with her thumb and index, she dragged a cardboard closer to the fire, it was big enough so that the two of them could sleep on top of it, she sat and tapping between her leg, signaling Crystal to sit on the middle of her body, and then she began to write on the book. "What do you want for its character name?" Asked Amber.
"...? Amber?" Said Crystal, not knowing what choose your own storybook was.
"C'mon, don't use my name, it is embarrassing. Well, whatever~ Amber, F, 19." Turned the page around, she began to answer the question "Red, Alone, No, Yes, Yes, Hm, Yes, have a little sister? Yes. Occupation? In a sense I am a treasure hunter, right? and that's all!"
The next page was already written with
Welcome, Amber. F 19. (Protected)
General status:
Strength: 6
Endurance: 14
Dexterity: 8
Agility: 7
Intelligence: 4
Perception: 5
Willpower: 7

Though ignorant of a fool Amber wasn't every about the odd things. "Aw~ the previous owner already writes the stat, geez, and he didn't raise the intelligence either." Said Amber.
"...Hey, are you done? Where is the story?" Said Crystal while she began to rub her eyes.
"Almost over, wait for it~" Replied Amber then she turned the page onto the next one.

The world became illuminated, like the lightning was struck them. Thick gray smoke billowing into the skies. The once drk black sky was now shielded by a veil of grayness as the smoke swallows up the whole sky.
"....Up."
"Hrm? 5 more minutes mom."
"Amber wake up!!!" Yelled Crystal, she shook Amber's body as hard as she could with her little hands.
"Hrngh?!" Drool from her mouth falling down onto the cardboard. Sky was already clear, pale blue sky shone at them, they already moved a few meters away from under the bridge, Memory was hazy but one thing that she knew, she used something to be her pillow.
Moving her red greasy hair, daindruff falling down onto the brown wooden chest box. "OH! what a good box!" Said Amber, she moved the box a few times, checking its inside. "Hey, there's something on the inside." She opened the chest with her hands, contrary to its tight looking the chest opened fairly easy.
Inside of it were "...Hm? A Letter? ...'Sorry that you find the old System, here's a new one as the replacement.' What System? Who cares~." She put the letter onto her layered clothes, hoping that it could be used as a fuel. "...Oh? A phone with its charger? an ATM? and a bank account book? Well, it's not like I can withdraw the money right?" She opened the bank account book and found.
"....Name is.. Amber? Oh the same name as me? 10.000$ as a deposito?! This girl must be rich huh."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! IS that a phone? can you open it? does it have a game?" Asked Crystal.
Stealing a phone, using it for a little while and then sold it, that was their routine.
"Don't know. Let me try." Holding the power button for a few seconds, the phone was turned on, though there were only standard app and one additional app on it.
"Aw~ it doesn't have a game, but lucky for us, the person that dropped this isn't lock his phone."

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Midthalion Saga
+++Working on new chapters. Share what I've posted with your friends and family! Be sure to build strong bonds with those who are important to you. We only have each other in this world for so long!+++ Can Roderick XXIII gather together and train a party of adventurers to clear out Madeon Caves and bring peace to the wildmarches of Midthalion? Sent from his home monastery in the west to the wildmarches of Midthalion, Roderick the Holy Avenger is devoted to living out his oath to bring the Holy Light to the dark corners of the world. He enlists the help of an old friend, Ulrich Vogelbrandt the dwarf druid, to train and prepare a fighting force capable of defending the west from the evil they both see gathering and growing in the east. Eoroth is an ode to Tolkienesque epic fantasy, Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft's pulp fiction, and Gygaxian Dungeons & Dragons. I like to write about serious topics because I think it's fun. I hope it makes for a fun read. Place: Eoroth, a vast, flat world with many continents set in oceans that reach out and mingle with the Celestial Sea. Our story takes place on the continent of Thalion in the middle, unsettled region called Midthalion. Peoples: Races in Eoroth aren't different species; the species of man is just incredibly diverse, consisting of many known races (and perhaps some unknown). There are no humans in Thalion. Thalion's races include variations of elves, dwarves, halflings (billowits), pierros (clownish men), bergeracs (long-nosed and swarthy men of honour), orcs, trolls, goblins, and hobgobs. The Church: There's one dominant religion in Westhalion. The faith of the elves is an analogue to Roman Catholicism while the dwarves practice an Eastern Orthodox analogue. (Forgive me for not having figured out names yet.) The practitioners worship a triune god (the All-Father, Son-of-All, and Holy Light). There are many powers in heaven, all created by God. These include the Twelve High Thrones, individual, created beings who take on the role of guiding mankind in different aspects, drawing them closer and closer to God. (That should be the essentials. I could write pages on the theology. Comment where something's unclear in the story.) Natural World: There are plants and animals in Eoroth, but the world is also inhabited by spirits called aeons. Aeons are transformative beings; in the wild, they'll change based on whatever is happening nearby. Pollute a pond? Expect to see toxic toad-men running around. Leave a bunch of dead bodies strewn across a battlefield? Expect the place to become haunted with ghouls and ghasts. Druids are important for making sure that the aeons are pacified; that their needs are met so that they don't become rampaging monsters. Where the wilderness becomes overgrown, so too do the aeons. Aeons and People: Long ago, men learned how to trap aeons in stone tablets and use them for war. Now, anyone can capture an aeon into a special staff made by a druid. Men train, raise, and bond with these aeons. Druids often build entire ranches devoted to raising healthy aeons as allies and companions. Aeons are divided into twelve known families, and the church sees these as corresponding with the Twelve Thrones in Heaven. Direction: My goal is to get the story to one million words by June next year. I have tons of content in mind for the world. I want to release novels set in different ages of the world depicting different historical events. I hope to expand the setting into a tabletop role-playing game as well as a series of old-school JRPGs. But, it all begins with writing some stories and publishing my novels.

Dana and The Legend of Apollo and Daphne
She is the reincarnation of a Greek god's former lover. Did anyone bother to tell her? No... at least not until the god shows up at her door.I couldn't explain his features any way besides perfect. He was probably the most handsome man I had ever met. Something about him was familiar, as though I had known him for years.One hand still grasping mine, he moved his other into my hair, stroking softly. His warmth surrounding, his touch calmed me.I couldn't move. I could barely breathe. My mind was blank. It was like nothing I ever felt before. I was lost in his eyes, in his warmth, in the feeling that I was safe. At that moment I wished to stay forever. I also knew better than to remain here. However, my muscles went numb under the warmth of his hands. I couldn't move.I layed there him stroking my hair in shock for what in my head felt like forever. Eventually, he leaned down and spoke into my ear making my whole body shiver."My dear, I have waited for this moment for years," his voice was beautiful, strong and warm. Like the wind on a summer day. He had humor in his eyes and I found it extremely unsettling.There was something off about his tone. Almost like I was dreaming, but I knew it wasn't one. Something powerful and dangerous was in his voice... Ohhh no! This wasn't some random mortal standing over me. This.... this... this was a god...Credit to Rick Riordan for building such a wonderful world to put stories into and creating some of these amazing characters.
