《10 Facts That You Don't Want to Know》2016...Oh dear
Advertisement
So 2016 was hell of a ride if I do say so myself. If I had to sum it up in one word it the word would be grey.
Don't get me wrong my year personally was okay but everyone around seemed dead, lifeless, dull. It was weird and depressing.
But it's almost over. Finally! :)
I was planning on making a top ten reasons 2016 sucked and sadly I started planning this early on in the year. I didn't think it was going to get worse. But either way everyone (alive) ON EARTH knows this was an odd, anger inducing, year.
So to make my 2016, and yours suck a little less, lets focus on the fact that we've almost hit rock bottom and we can only (hopefully) go up from here.
So here's the four times 2016, no matter how sucky, had it's moments.
THEY ARE NO LONGER ENDANGERED!!!! YESSSSS!! I honestly did not about this until now. While they are no longer endangered they are still vulnerable. This means that hunting them will not be an open option for a loooong time. Even though the Giant Panda is actually known to be dangerous it's still an actual literal fluff ball.
The ozone layer is the layer that protects the earth by absorbing in chemicals. The ozone layer had holes put in it by chemicals we used. Many people feared that there was no way the layer would fix itself. That means the damage made on earth cannot be reversed. Proof that the layer could heal itself was made present. A hole above Antarctica started closing itself. It was estimated that it was 40,000 square miles smaller than it was in 2002.
I hate people who flip their bottles. Half the time they either don't get it, they do get it too many times (WHO PRACTICES THIS), or it's not even their own bottle. Either way I hated this trend. It was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen.

People started using this stupid thing for charity. You can find videos on YouTube where people will use the challenge as a way to donate in a fashion reminiscent of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
Homelessness for U.S Veteran's dropped. From 2010 to 2016 it has dropped by nearly 50%. While there shouldn't be this problem in the first place, I'm glad we are making progress.
If you smiled at least once throughout the chapter then my work here is done.
Thank you for reading and I wish for a better year for all of us. Happy New Year!

Lost in Love
My name is Alexander Halesworth, sole heir to a prestigious ducal house. Or rather, that’s what my identity is supposed to be now. I still haven’t gotten used to this whole situation yet. Not long ago I was just a humble store clerk. But shortly after getting into an unfortunate road accident, I woke up in the setting of an infamous Otome Game called “Lost in Love: A Heart Throbbing Romance in a Fantasy World~!” Yeah. It’s even trashier than it sounds. Don’t judge me, it was a gift from a friend. *cough* Anyway, this situation wouldn’t be too bad, except I ended up in the body of the worst possible person: the villainess’ older brother. Alexander has great looks, near limitless wealth, and a thoroughly rotten personality. In most of the game’s endings I end up dead or exiled. My family also falls to ruin, and don’t even get me started on what happens to my evil little sister. Well, whatever. If that’s the hand fate dealt me, then I just have to prevent the bad ends, right? And if I have no choice but to deal with this family’s baggage, I may as well enjoy myself while I’m at it. Being filthy rich and powerful has its benefits. For example, this cute maid who I get to tease whenever I want. (Male lead otome reincarnation, inspired by Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite and similar works)

Son of Thunder
Right, I really suck at this synopsis crap. The story follows Taran as he grabs fate by the short hairs and makes his own destiny. Seizing a power that is not his by birth, he uses it to protect those he cares about. There will be magic, monsters and most likely some sex. (This is my first story here, give me some tips and pointers. My grammar may also not be up to snuff. As for a release schedule, nothing set in stone. Though I will try once ever week or two. Length of the chapters will vary. Mature 18+ Sex, violence, gore, strong language)(Holy shit, the old synopsis had some glaring errors.)

The World Below
A place of myth and mystery, the Below is spoken of by few with any real consideration, and fewer with any true belief. After all, a realm filled with magic and monstrosities beyond imagining would be ridiculous, especially existing beneath one's very feet. Someone would have found it by now, through science, even if rumor dictated that it was able to "choose" who entered it. More wishful magic nonsense. ...Right? Note: This is a story on dungeon exploration, not a dungeon core/sentient dungeon!

A sell-sword struggles to find meaning in a world filled with pain, violence, and loss. Noble Houses rule from Hoverstones that loom over the Flatlands and the Highlands; they act in their own interests, playing politics and more.
