《Death Note : A New Story》Offering
Advertisement
I bought a kilos worth of apples and returned home where Ryuk was reading my death note.
Kira: "Leave the book. I tell you in detail of what I'm going to do if you really want to know."
Ryuk: "You finally decided to cuddle up? Typical of you humans."
Kira: "Here. I brought you some apples. Eat as many as you like. But before you do, tell me this. Why do you like apples so much?"
While munching the whole bag of apples, Ryuk responded, "Haven't I told you already? The apples where I'm from just aren't as juicy as in this world."
Kira: "Now I'll tell you what I've been thinking."
I sat down on my chair, laid back and sighed.
I looked up and spoke,
"You act out of your desperate nature, craving for something more. Yet in the end, when you gain what you wanted, it isn't enough. You crave more. Humans are similar to you in that way. In fact, all living beings search for something more, something better to no end. We live our entire lives searching for true meaning; but I'm different from the rest. I see an ant's perspective instead of the bigger picture, knowing there's more to explore, knowing, that the truth is waiting to be discovered. Because, I found a part of the truth long ago, the only part that mattered."
Ryuk: "Oh? And what's that?"
Kira: "Nothing matters in this world. Whether you're rich or poor, kind or hateful, strong or weak; there's always a time when you face a repercussion. And by the time you're done facing this tedious cycle, you'll die in a moment's notice. That's the cycle of life. Beautiful and yet so ugly. In this cycle, I'll fulfil whatever task necessary to leave with my best performance; to complete this cycle once and never again. For that, if I have to abandon my perspective, my reputation, I will."

Vast Asleep
The story of Kingard the Binder in the aftermath of Broken This short story is the epilogue of Broken, the second book of the Chronicles of Mother's Gate series. It’s a great follow-up to the novel, a bonus story that adds extra layers but is set apart from the full-length narrative. Vast Asleep follows the story of Kingard, who finds himself caught in a world called Mother's realm, bathed in glowing light but strangely stuck in place. He encounters his greatson Varyan there, and learns that his experiences are likely dreams. As he grows more accustomed to the loving realm around him, Kingard remembers fear and trepidation about the face of the world, and he loses contact with his companion. This story answers the question, Is Kingard really dead? with a tentative no, and new mysteries brewing. It also raises the question, What's happening while he's awake? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Ride Awake, about Kingard's situation with the Colkh'rak. Praise for Tales of the Known World Bookends: Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between the epilogue and prologue is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★

8 207The Experimental Dungeon
Having all your memories erased and be reborn as a baby without any knowledge, or giving the job of managing a Dungeon without being its Core – a very easy decision for everyone, right? Right? Right? “I really should have remembered from all those fanfics and dungeon stories that those ROBs always screw with their mortal playthings” growls Claudia as she checked her Status for the umpteenth time. “How dare that... that...that manipulative thing did this to me… And no matter what extra options he gifts me with, I will NOT use them to create a hentai dungeon or anything like that” This will not be the usual dungeon core-type story found around here, but the main difference will only be explained in chapter 4 by the Dungeon Pixie. Also – despite the warning please don’t expect any explicit scenes in this story. The warnings are there because mature themes will be mentioned (and not only because the Higher Power provided some special options), but the MC is dead set on evading those options as she sees them as traps. So there are no explicit descriptions planned at all. If that changes I will give extra warnings in the chapter title, but I plan on handling things other ways. Later chapters might go a bit farther than the simple mentions in chapter 2, but don’t expect much more. Status Update 04. April 22 Writing Buffer used up, as said before I'm switching to one chapter a week on fridays. The new cover is the second placeholder, but what I really want will have to be commissioned and take a while. At least it is better than the map-part from chapter 4 that was the first placeholder.
