《Aurelia Online》Chapter 1H - No Elf Like A Snow Elf

Seeing Derrick rush out of the classroom I can't help but giggle at how enthusiastic he is for the new game.
Not that I myself am any less so, but I an hold my excitement in unlike him. I have had years of experience holding things in after all, especially my desire to completely and utterly own- I mean become the beloved of Derrick.
It isn't like I would keep him to myself completely after all. He can have his little NPC relationships but if they go any further than that......
"Ojousama your vehicle is here."
I jump in surprise but quickly compose myself.
"Ah Celia thank you. On another note have you disovered if the company did as I asked?"
"There were some....complications but they changed tunes after we brought up ojousama's family name."
"Uuuuu....you know how I feel about using it..."muttering the last words I look at her indignantly. I am the daughter of a major political power player and as such my name carries weight, yet this same weight threatens to break my shoulders so I try to avoid using it whenever I can. Especially around Derrick. The last thing I want is it to seem like I want him for political reasons as even his parents have some clout in business dealings behind the scenes including with my father.
"I apologize but we can't use anymore money or your father would notice. You know how he is about your obse-over caring nature for that boy." Celia quickly catches herself yet I notice her slip up but let it go. She just won't understand and neither will my stibborn headed father. "He isn't this! He can't do that! This young politicians son is this so marry him!!" All that nonsense from Father is so usual now I just brush him off.

"Well I guess it is time for me to get home and begin my game. Don't want to be left behind by Der and the brute too badly.
Leaving the school in the family vehicle I run to my room as soon as possible when I get home as well as tell a maid to pass a message to my father informing him to not bother me for the rest of the weekend unless it is utterly urgent.
"Now....let us see just what kind of trouble we can cause."
Grinning mischeviously I climb into my custom pod of silver with a blue trim. The lid slowly closes on me and I see the Login screen and login using my preorder and founders bonus code. You may be wondering what I mean when I say Founder's bonus. Like I said father has clout....and well when I saw Der's cute face looking at the SlapBeginner campaign for this in school on his phone I just had to help give it to him. What self respecting lover wouldn't try their hardest for their object of affection?
As I enter the character creation area the AI there asks me for my race but I can't help but stare at her in envy as I wonder if she was the one who Der saw....
"Damn her and that tight jumpsuit!!! I know she must have tried to win him over with it!! Mark my words I will find a way to spite you woman!!"
Keeping my composure on the outside I simply tell her Snow Elf and then she asks for my name.
"That should be obvious enough. Yukihime." I smirk towards the damnable woman as she sends me off after making my character then the next thing I know is blackness then the sound of a baby's cry.

"Oh no.....nononononononononononoonononoNONONONONONONONO!!!!! Is this what they meant by as realistic as possible!!!! If this doesn't have some kind of trick or catch it will take forever to catch up!!! Plus a real family is enough, I don't need a virtual one unless it is his!!!!!! This must be that wretched hag's fault!!!!"
That night the whole village of Kakigōri drowned in cries that sounded as if someone was brutally murdered only for the cries to die on the merciless snow drift winds without a care in the world.

8 121A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!

8 131The Brotherhood Archive:Crossroads(Revised)
All people great or small have a story - Patriarch Lord Theris'Heron Soletus, was on the verge of becoming a warden in the Dias Brotherhood until his father holds him back. Instead of proving his skill with culling monsters that plague the land, he is given an assignment different assignment. It isn't one that test doesn’t test his physical strength, but his strength of character. He is paired up with a shy and traumatized boy name Mien. Between Mien’s anxious behavior and the crime he committed, Soletus doesn’t know what to do or what to think. He wasn’t trained for the duty he is performing and has no idea if he is doing the right thing. However, when Soletus’s resolve to help starts to waiver, Mien does something unexpected and Soletus decides that the boy deserves a second chance not as an act of duty but as a friend. Hy'Ruh-Ha is a what I consider a chronicle fantasy. It is a fantasy drama coming of age story inspired by slice-of-life stories I've read and watched. It is heavy on the slice-of-life and does move slow. It is low-stakes fantasy. This particular story is romance free.(2 out the of 4 is re-uploaded under this title) And if you are someone who cares, the POV character is asexual. Crossroad(formally labeled as the intermission stories)- is a novella collection continuing the tale where Hy'ruh-Ha. The collection as followed: Wolf- After spending several months in the swamp post, Oeric'Sheldmartin returns to repair the chasm between him and his son, Soletus. However, a ghost from his past comes to haunt him and could ruin the life he's made completely. Note: Wolf is a bit of a character piece. POV character is Oeric. The Priest and the Priestess- A novella written in the POV of Mien and then Kiao after a series of unexpected events that change their lives. Mien's POV- Mien has spent the last couple of years working not only in the infirmary but training to become a combat chanter as part of his penitence. Then one day, a drug addled elf comes into infirmary and changes his perspective of a friend and puts his knowledge to the tests to figure out a mystery effecting children in town. *Spoiler warning* Kiao's POV- Kiao spent most of her time in the infirmary living the same daily secret filled life and until Mien changed it. Now she has to figure out her future in ways she never thought she would. I'm going for a Tues and Thurs day schedule for the re-upload. I may or may not stick in extra days.
