"*Bang!!!*"
I hit the table as I got up from my seat.
"Shit! Someone unfollowed my novel!! What did I do wrong? Was my novel really that bad!?"
I kept on asking myself this question and in doing that I started questioning myself and my entire existence as well.
I know that the novel in its initial phase isn't all that great. To be honest, it's kinda meh in my opinion but still, I think I deserve more!
What mistake have I made!?
I started rereading my work. I know that it wasn't a very unique plot and I knew that apart from the main character Raphael, my spiritual and mental representation most of the characters weren't developed till the first 20 chapters of the novel, but still, I don't think that my novel is terrible.
Sigh...what should I do now?
I thought as I looked outside the window. It was nighttime but there was no moon in the sky, if I were a poet then I would have said that the moon is angry with me or something like that, but I know full well, that it's just a natural phenomenon. Today was New Moon, I have heard that the 'Evil' beings become stronger during the New Moon. I wonder if I will die when I go to sleep, hmm...dying peacefully in sleep...doesn't sound too bad. I should probably go to sleep now.
With this thought in mind, I went to sleep.
My bed was slightly smaller than a regular queen size bed but it seemed to fit me without any problems as if it was solely built for me to sleep on it. I layed flat on the bed then I turned left and closed my eyes.
I was about to fall asleep when suddenly my heart started beating at an abnormally fast speed.

This...this feeling!!!
I remembered this feeling. Something like this happened to me almost 3 years ago in September 2019, when I was at my uncle's house. At that time too I was in a daze before going to sleep.
As soon as my heart started beating faster I found myself being unable to move or speak, it's not like I was having any trouble breathing nor was I feeling any pain but the feeling of not being able to move my body according to my will is creepy.
When this thing happened to me for the first time in 2019, I thought that it was because of a ghost or something. My reason for thinking so was because my father faced the same situation when he was my age but after some time I dismissed the idea that it happened to me because of ghosts or anything like that.
But facing the situation again...I can't help but think that it's the work of the ghosts again. Or maybe it might be the act of God who finally heard my prayers and decided to give me a swift death. Haha. what am I thinking? This must be because of the stress or something like that.
I kept on denying the possibility of ghosts being involved until 'that' happened.
I was trying to calm myself to get out of the situation I was in when suddenly I felt someone whisper in my ears!
"@#$%^&*"
It was the whisper of a woman. She said something in a language that I didn't understand.
Huh? Who's there? I tried to look at the source of the whisper but I wasn't able to move my head. What was it? Was I overthinking things?
Then, I suddenly felt someone climbing on my bed.
When this happened I literally felt despair.

I mean I was alone in my room and I had already locked my bedroom door. No one could have entered the room, then why did I feel someone climbing my bed!?
I was completely scared shitless. I was filled with an ominous feeling in my heart, no I was actually despairing.
I tried to call out for my parents but no voice came out of my mouth.
It was then that I felt someone holding my hand trying to drag me somewhere else.
I resisted, yes I was able to resist, looks like my strength was returning back to me and now I was able to think clearly. For a moment I thought that I would win when suddenly I lost my strength. Huh? What happened?
After that, all my resistance turned futile and I fell asleep.
I woke up.
But my surroundings were different. There was no ceiling fan above my head, no mattress beneath me. I lifted my arm up in the air and looked at it. Then I was hit by a thought.
Yes, just as I expected.
I have been either reincarnated or isekaid...

System Change
Years ago, Earth was indoctrinated into the "System." Earth was not the only place with the System, however. With the System came the other races, Invaders. The Invaders had one goal, to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. This created a bloodbath, and for years the war raged. This didn't really have much to do with Derek. Derek was kind of a loner. Yeah, he enjoyed the occasional chat or drink with others, but he never stayed in one place too long or really got to know anybody new. Derek did happen to be rather strong. After the years of fighting monster and Invaders alone, he had become quite adept at surviving. One thing that helped keep him alive was his refusal to get involved with others. He rarely cooperated with teams. One day, Derek broke his rules and decided to lend some help, as the mission didn't seem too hard. He should have stuck to being alone. Hey everyone, this is my fiction, "System Change." It's the first time I've really tried to write a serial. All feedback is really appreciated. I plan to release chapters every Tuesday and Thursday. With occasional extra chapters being released. I will try to maintain a word count between 1500-2500 words per chapter. Thank you! I just made a Discord if anyone wants to join.

Steamforged Sorcery [A Steampunk LitRPG]
This is a fantasy story in a steampunk setting, not a sci-fi. The Great War ravaged the face of the earth many years ago. In the years that passed, the world rebuilt, mixing machinery and magic to form something new. Great blimps took to the sky, belching steam and smoke as metal cities sprouted like weeds below. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly comes to realize that the world is far larger – and far more deadly – than he ever could have predicted. But no amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking out greater strength and traveling the world, claiming all the greatest treasure that it has to offer. To most, the desert is a dangerous threat to be feared. To Angel, it’s a land of opportunity, waiting to be exploited. Steamforged Sorcery is, as the title suggests, a LitRPG Steampunk story with heavy focus on magic and scenery. The main character starts out relatively strong (but far from overpowered) but will eventually grow in strength to incredible levels. It is moderately paced and does not progress at ridiculous speeds. Release Schedule: 1,500 words daily Monday-Friday

The apocalypse happened and it was named- The system’s advent
The world either ended or it began when the system came online. People can now be immortal and the laws of reality are intertwined with what the people of earth know as RPG game systems. All of this and yet it is only the begining. What is in store for humanity when everything they thought was just smoke and mirrors turns out to be as real as they are and far more deadly. One man went back in time because of an event that shouldn't be possible to a place he had forgotten. For him it was a chance at redemption for a life he is ashamed of. It was a chance to make things right with the people he couldn't face before it was too late to say sorry. A changed man will attempt to defy logic that he doesn't even realize exists. He tried to be the dashing rogue and failed, he tried for the overbearing shield bearer and was worse than useless, he tried to be the rightous paladin and not even the dark gods would accept him. The only path left was the 'weakest' of them all. Ok so alot of you probably reading this are people who have read my previous works and I can only say 'thank you for your incredible patience' so much before it gets awkward but for those you who don't know this is my third story and no I haven't dropped the other two it's just that tragedy struck when I was writing them and I haven't been able to get my motivation for them back yet so I'm trying this as essentially a jump start to get back into the fight so to speak. I'm really hopefull that I can pull this story off the way I want it to be but only time will tell so here's to hoping, now let's get this show started.
