《Diary of an Insomniac》Night 2
Advertisement
It's 2:25 am and I've decided to write today's entry. The air conditioning is on but I like it cold so the ceiling fan is on as well. My mattress lies on the ground. The ground is covered in a white carpet. Well now I'm just listing my current environment so I guess I'll include two thin pillows stacked below my head giving it support. Neither pillow is covered by a pillow case. I'm covered in a moderately thick sheet. I usually sleep in only my underwear. Sometimes I'll wear shorts if I may be awoken by another person but that's rare. I used to sleep naked but I learned my lesson from that hence the previous statement. I guess I'll start from my morning again.
I woke up at 10ish again. After some time in the restroom I went downstairs. There was no one around so I was alone. I drank my smoothie and got into my car. The inside was very hot so I had the air at full blast. On the way to my university I saw a white Corvette. It moved slowly as there was heavy traffic.
I crashed. It was dark and the rain had left the ground wet. My wheels had lost traction. I kicked out the window and crawled out. My head was spinning and my ear rang out a high pitched noise. The feeling reminded me of my childhood days. I moved around the car inspecting the damage. It was bad. The left side was caved in, several of my wheels were blown out and the whole thing was flipped on its head. I started to hear a cry once the high pitch in my ears began to fade away. I saw on the other side of the road was another vehicle. Did I cause it to skid off the road? My head pounded too forcefully to remember. I walked over to see if they were alright. I saw a head coming out of the windshield. It was on the passenger side. The driver side window was too dark to see through. My hand found the handle to the door at the back. I opened it and out stepped a small boy. He looked up at me and I noticed his left eye had a ruptured blood vessel. The white of his eye was dyed red. I reached out for him but he backed away and ran for the road. I saw head lights traveling far too fast to be able to stop before they would hit the boy. I tried to run but I fell after an intense pain shot from my left ankle. I could only watch as the boy ran to the lane and sat down. He looked at me and smiled.

I made it to the university. I played pool against the best in the school and lost 0-7 in eight ball. I didn't play badly so I could accept my lost on the chin. I drove back to the house. It was empty as when I had left it. I did my homework and watched a prerecorded movie. I ate chicken I bought at a fast food place and I went to bed. Now I'm here writing this alone in this hollow house. I do hope my left ankle feels better tomorrow.

Glitched! Uplift Arc
[Winner of the April 22 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] In 2202 the System reached Earth. Thankfully it had learnt from previous uplifts and implemented an introductory arc to acclimatise the new participants rather than chucking them in the deep end. The previous practice of just dumping unsuspecting beings into a System designed for the growth of the multiverse had led to catastrophic and sub-optimal results. The return on investment was abysmal. That old trope was so over-cooked - after nearly extinguishing itself through negative returns new policy was required. That was 356 trillion local years back. Now over 5600 successful uplifts had joined the ranks of the multiverse. But the System was always learning, always growing. Still there were glitches. Mostly minor. Mere irritants really. Sometimes even they were catalysts, triggering a fresh expansion. Soon the System would understand why. Our Earth was 7912th. - Ascend - Battle - Challenge - Dominate - Expand - Gro... - Glor... - Where’s the eff word? - Glitch... File corrupted. ---END SYN---

Reincarnation of a Businessman
A businessman is betrayed by those he holds dearest and reincarnates into a mystical world of cultivation where the power of a single person can split the heavens. However, his reincarnation does not go smoothly... ******************** This is a xianxia (cultivation/progression fantasy) story which fuses a lot of western fantasy elements. This story includes POV's of different characters which are all going to be developed in the future and will have an effect on the story. The novel is named after the reincarnation of the businessman which serves as a cataclysm in the world of cultivation, and while the MC uses some of his business knowledge, this novel is not centered around the MC creating a business empire. I plan to extend the story into at least 2 books, both taking place in the same world. ******************** Updates will happen once every 2 days, but this is often going to change to once every day or once every 3 days because I am not currently writing full-time, and neither is my editor.

Virtuous Sons: A Greco Roman Xianxia
Book one now available on Kindle. The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.
