《World tag#001》Chapter016
Advertisement
My sight was dyed red for the longest seconds of my life, sure I didn't feel the heat or vibration I expected, but that served only to fuel my anxiety. I still felt more calm than I should, but I'm starting to think my sense of what's normal and what's not is irreparably damaged.
Still I have to admit, once forgetting the feeling of approaching death, free falling was really exciting. The night sky was almost free clouds and the ocean below, dotted with islands, was mesmerizing.
Even if I couldn't see the thing that surrounded and protected me, from the few movement my eyes stained to do, I still felt a change in it. Just when I was trying to think of a reason for the sensation, my falling speed started decreasing visibly.
With a much slower approach, to the surface of the planet, details of the islands an ocean were more clear. Three were the bigger land masses and I started losing count of the small one.
- It sure isn't Earth... I'm surely not a geography enthusiast but not even one coastlines matches my memory...
The decreasing speed also showed me what could be the destination of this uncontrollable trip. A group of three lone islands in the middle of the ocean, almost at the same distance from the continents, seemed my landing point.
After a while, my lack of any kind watch was killing me, I felt like I had memorized all the various coastlines and relative position of what I could see. With all the menu function blocked, and my lack of mobility, I started to reflect more seriously than before on my current situation.
- Sure, I have to admit, all this excitement is fun and all... But the lack of all the reaction, and sensation, I could have felt before this... Is disturbing...

Maybe it's true that memories define one-self, bur never like now I think I understand. All of this, new body, photographic memory, hud etc., is slowly eroding my original personality.
- Sigh... Why I always overthink, why?!
Outburst apart my prominent tracts seems in intact, so it's better to imagine this more like a game for my mental health. Also this strange skydiving experience is reaching a conclusion.
The islands were now filling my view and, guessing my trajectory, I was going to land on the bigger of the three. If it's really another planet I shouldn't apply Earth standards, but judging by position alone they should have tropical climate. All the greenery I could see also showed that it's sure fertile land.
When I started slowing down more and more my doubts on my landing destination started to clear. A plateau on top of a inactive volcano was the only place that was illuminated, and that made click something inside my mind. Of all the place I've seen, while in the atmosphere, there were no visible lights.
- Please, please somebody say it's only because I couldn't see them... I fear all the other implication...
Apart for my crawling doubts, the structure that seemed the source of the light came into view. A truncated cone It's the best description I could think at the moment. The top part, that was as bright as a thousands light bulbs, was centered into my sight so I suppose it's time to land on it.

8 113Keys of the Endpoint
Keys of the Endpoint is an illustrated web serial about the re-birth of civilization in a fantastical world suffering from a recent apocalyptic event. Every day, people appear from the storms that ravage the Endpoint. Whisked away from their own time and place by storms in their homelands, these newcomers find themselves in a hostile place made up of ruins and people from every timeline imaginable. Stranger still, they all soon discover they're carrying silver keys that grant each holder incredible powers. On Earth, most people have mundane excuses for the disappearances, but not Isaac. Having lost his brother Finn to one of these storms, Isaac becomes obsessed with finding a pattern. Not to prevent more people disappearing, but rather to get taken by the storms himself in order to find his brother. While chasing Finn’s faint trail, Isaac soon discovers how little he really knew about himself, his brother and how much loss one person can take. In Keys of the Endpoint there's portal fantasy, personal drama, magic (useable by everyone), plenty of combat, power progression, mysteries, factions, feuds and eventually war (in that order). The magic system is well defined and modular with nigh infinite combinations. The story starts out with one of the two main characters looking for his lost brother but quickly expands in scope from that point on.

8 77Mistakes Lead To Success
Mistakes were made and it led to the death of Natalie Freemen. Her soul was captured and cared for by an young god but such protection come with a cost. Instead of taking the original offer she decided to make a deal. She would rome the multiverse and steal the essence that thrives them. In return she could become a demigod. Updates at random Romance is not the focus but a major plot point. I will take suggestions and corrective criticism. *Important Note* This makes for sense as you read along. This story is created by the viewer but there is a twist. Some chapters are static, meaning that it is to propel the plot. Others have polls that will affect other chapters but without a question. This means you don't know what it effects or in which chapter. I wanted to added this effect to create a suspense, something I didn't feel as much in other reader interactive stories. Your vote could create fortune or misfortune for the main character. I know what it will effect because have a chart that tells me the possible routes. You just have to wait and see what your choice have done. I'll even write which poll effects the chapter in the authors note. Characters could die in the story and they won't be leads anymore. In comments you can ask for a detail chart for each poll but it will only be for one answer per poll. I will chose the most requested answer. I do not own the photo.
