《Transition and Restart, book four: Fallout》Midsummer's day, 2040, lazing in the sun
Advertisement
“Do you really celebrate midsummer's day as well in Sweden?”
Ulf looked at Kyoko who had climbed down to the cliffs by the water. “Officially not,” he said. “But if you travel out of the cities, like we've done, it only makes sense to spend the weekend though.”
Kyoko spread her blanket on the rock and waved for Yukio to join her.
“You know, I can't get used to this kind of coast,” she said after she had failed to find a comfortable way to lie down.
Ulf shrugged. “I grew up with this. It's how we sunbathe in the archipelago, unless you prefer the crowds on our crappy sandy beaches.”
“That's an alternative, but no thanks. I'll take the discomfort together with you guys.”
Thanks Kyoko. You were always a good friend. Ulf smiled but refrained from answering. There really wasn't much to say.
Behind them Yukio got caught in a conversation with James, so Ulf tapped Kyoko's blanket and pointed up the hill. She looked in the direction of his hand and grinned.
“Let him. It's been a long time since they last met,” she said. Then she turned serious all of a sudden. “Do you regret it?” she asked.
“Regret what?”
Kyoko could be really cryptic sometimes, and more so after a long marriage with Yukio, where they must have learned to communicate telepathically with each other.
She squinted against the sun and drew a deep breath. “Destroying Red Rose Hell,” she finally said.
Ah, of course. “No, not at all. That hell-hole had to go.” Ulf smirked when he realised he hadn't been entirely honest. “I regret what came after,” he admitted silently.
There was something pained in Kyoko's eyes, but Ulf saw how she shook it off before she lay down on the blanket. “Just wondering,” she said. “If you don't mind I'll do like you Swedes and tan in the sun like a moron.”
“Be my guest,” Ulf said. I'm so sorry, Kyoko. I'm so sorry.

Ashes of the Primordial
With the upcoming shutdown of the servers for Ragnarok Games’ deep dive VRMMO, ‘Ashes of the Primordial’, the player log of those online for the final night was depressingly empty-looking. A revolutionary level of realism drove Ashes to the forefront of the games market, billions of players enjoying their journey to power and glory as an avatar of their own creation. The final enemy of the game-world defeated, the company announced, in line with their stance from launch, that they would be shutting down the game exactly six months after the defeat of Sutr, the final boss. Ammanas, the player responsible for Sutr's defeat, stays online until the end. However, as the countdown hits 0, the start-hub of his dive rig (what would typically greet a forced ejection from a game) was no where to be seen and instead darkness greets him as he fades into unconsciousness. Awakening to unfamiliar sights in an unfamiliar body, one which turns out to be a lot more familiar than he first thought, now he must figure out where, how, why and what to do with the new world he finds himself in. Author note: I don't own the cover, just something found through a google search. This is also my first story and the MC will basically be unimaginably OP yet never really utilising his full power. He just wants to find somewhere to fit in to the new world he finds himself in and despite both his nature as a loner and his interests he will find himself forming connections with the denizens of this new realm. Hope you enjoy
