《Death Note : A New Story》The Ones I Kill
Advertisement
I randomly selected a name and started writing. I couldn't handle the patience any longer. I had to write more names and faster. My curiosity got the best of me.
What would happen if I wrote a dead man's name?
I opened the death note to write,
'Wade Lawliet.
Cause of Death: Degradation.
Details: Wade Lawliet would go to his relative and curse his/her existence. After which, he would collapse and degrade into dust. Seconds before he dies, he'll repeat the word killer 5 times. His death will occur at precisely in the evening, 8 o'clock JST tomorrow.'
Wade Lawliet was a foreigner whose grave was nearby. I wanted to see for myself, if a dead body could move.
I continued writing. The second candidate I chose was a billionaire who killed and injured multiple people in a slum just to build a skyscraper on their land. Everyone knew he was guilty, yet no one took action. He was brought to court once, but the case didn't follow up due to lack of evidence.
'Kisaya Tatsu.
Cause of Death: Suicide.
Details: Kisaya Tatsu would fall to his death after recording a message of all the crimes he committed and apologise to the public for the same. Seconds before he dies, he'll repeat the word killer 5 times. His death will occur at precisely 8 o'clock JST in the evening, the day after tomorrow.'
Then I wrote yet another name. The name of a man who killed his own family out of anger. A man who had manged to kill his family and had escaped from prison as well.
'Arman Solanzo.
Cause of Death: Excess blood loss.
Details: Arman Solanzo will record a message about how sorry he was to kill his family and cut himself multiple times to show his sorrow. Before he dies he will upload the video on a platform. Seconds before he dies, he'll repeat the word killer 5 times and record himself during this time as well. His death will occur at precisely 8 o'clock JST, 3 days from now.'

And then I wrote another. A celebrity who had committed forgery, plagiarism, murder and had been imprisoned for drugs. Yet after all this, people supported him because of his iconic movies and songs.
'Carmen Bizet.
Cause of Death: Overdose of drugs.
Details: After being drugged, Carmen Bizet would cry with remorse and would be killed because of the overdose of drugs. Seconds before he dies, he'll repeat the word killer 5 times. His death will occur at precisely 8 o'clock JST, 4 days from now .'
I kept on writing names until I had written 50. Why did I write these names? First, their existence was aggravating, unnecessary. Second, I had to see if I could manipulate people's wills. Up till now, I had only tested human capabilities, now I had to test their will. If I could control their will, I was no short of being God.
And so, I prepared a buffet for my curiosity, for a time of 50 days.

One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.

8 106Rolf The Barbarian Battlemage
Our story began on the frozen tundra, where barbarians roamed over thousands of years after the first landing of Bok. They were hearty warriors that valued strength and honor above anything else. Rolf the rat boy was the adopted son of Chieftain Kram of the Wolverine Tribe, although the latter claimed that the boy was merely his spoil from a war with the devious rat-men, Stakors. Being bullied and looked down upon by the tribe, Rolf was determined to claim his honor as a true barbarian, but little did he know that the immortal gods had an entirely different plan for him. Meanwhile, storm clouds are gathering inside the walled city of Ubbin Falls at the edge of the Tundra…
8 217The Exodus Project
This is the original version of Origin before I rewrote it. It's much more simpler, some names and personalities are a little different. THere's nowhere near as much back story or character development/interaction. But the story is essentially at the end of book one. I wrote this 15 odd years ago, and with a bit of polish it doesn't look too bad. The story like Origin is about a group of college students who find a ship that is the last remnant of an ancient human space faring civilisation, they fix her up and go back into space. Along they way they'll meet alot of aliens, religious fundamentalists and conmen.
