Day One Hundred and Fifty-One.
Verse: "Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life." Philippians 4:6
Maybe right now, you are struggling with fear, worry, or anxiety. Maybe school starting back has really stressed you out. Maybe you have loved one who is sick and you are worried about them. Maybe you are really struggling with mental illness, chronic illness, or cancer. Whatever is going on, I am here to tell you: God is here for you! He is here to calm your worries, fears, and anxiety. He is here to give you peace, rest, and freedom (Isaiah 49:13) .
I don't know what you are going through but I do know that God is here to help you (Psalm 121:1-2). He wants to grab your hand and help you through what you are going through (Psalm 121:1-2). God never wanted us to do life on our own. He wants to be there for you and be close to you (Psalm 136:1).
All you have to do is come home to Him. Give Him all your worries, fears, doubts, anxieties, pain, and hurt. He will give you rest, peace, grace, love, guidance, help, comfort, encouragement, and freedom. Just surrender anything to God and He will give you all you could ever need (Psalm 33:4). How you come home to Him is by seeking Him through reading His word, worshiping Him, listening to Him, and praying to Him. As you continue to seek Him, daily, He will draw near to you (Psalm 125:1-2). You will be able to build a close relationship with Him which is all He ever wants because He loves you (John 3:16).

Dealing with stress, worry, fear, or anxiety is tough. But you have God who is tougher! Even death couldn't stop God's love for you (John 3:16). Jesus defeated death and now we can live in freedom (John 3:16). Now we can have a close relationship with God.
So what are you waiting for? Run into God's arms today!
Prayer:
Dear God,
Hey God, I am really struggling with fear with this new school year starting tomorrow. Lord I pray that you help me with my fear, worry, and anxiety. I pray that you grab my hand and help me this new school year. Help me keep my eyes focused always on you even when I am stressed. Help me grow closer to you this school year. I pray you bless me with everything I need to make it through each and every day. I praise you for your love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness. You are so good to me and I praise you! I thank you for listening to me because I know you hear me and will help me.
I thank you for all my many blessings and for Your Son.
In Jesus's name, I pray, Amen!

What is it like to live forever? Is it a blessing? To experience the world changing around you, unaffected by time? For Typhos Dillian, immortality is a curse. He had all the time in the world to learn new things, but instead he spends his time wishing to die. Haunted by ghosts of his long past, Typhos spends his days drinking, having sex, and attending his job as a barkeep. Worst of all, he keeps his powers locked away. He has seen the world change. What once was common, mana, is now a rare trait. Those with mana are heralded as either monsters or heroes, and Typhos wants no part of it. However, when something happens to one of his rare friends, Typhos might be forced to once more activate the terrible power that has been dormant inside of him for years. Note: If you do not like overpowered characters, leave now, he's quite old.

The Storytellers
Myra Kahani lives in a world of gods and prayers. People around her constantly reach out to the gods for advice and suggestions at critical times in their life. But Myra has a problem. No matter what she does, she can't talk to the gods. When Myra meets Roam, an old, enigmatic Storyteller, she finally gets some answers. She learns of the origins of the Universe, the divide between mankind and their deities, and the important role that Storytellers play in her world. But the truth for Myra is just the beginning of her story. The Storytellers is a story that I began to develop from a series of shorter stories that I wrote for a mythology and folklore class. As such, they have a strong basis in the myths and folklore of various cultures and religions. Join me as I try my best to integrate these stories into my own and develop the world of the Storytellers and Myra herself. This is my first attempt at any sort of longer-form fiction so helpful advice is greatly appreciated!

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
