《An old mans tale!》The First that I Wrote.
Advertisement
"Gather round children because I have something to tell you. You see being around you all has made me think of what will happen to my memories when I am gone. Who will remember what we did? Where we went? What we saw?"
"I have decided to write a book and it is almost done. It will be of my youth and you will even be in it. I write this so that the Glory will never be forgoten. So that we will never be forgoten."
"If nobody remembers what we did then does doing it even matter. It does not matter because I will not be the last to remember those brave souls who faced the world head on. I have decided to tell their storys for all to hear."
"Now for another story how about the first sunset that I can remember."
I was young, so young that I don't even recall how old I was but I do recall that I was with the boy who would become my best friend. The man that I would go on to do so many things with and tell storys to for his entire life. His name was Austin though I did not know it at the time.
We were at the park with our familys to celebrate a birth day. Both of our birthdays as they were only 2 days apart. We had cake and played games until long after everyone else had left. Our parents were just talking and enjoying the evening air. we were playing in the sand when we looked up and saw it.
At the time we did not have words to express what we saw but we knew that the memory would stay with us for the rest of our lives. To say that the sight was beautiful would be to insult it. The only thing that comes close to capturing its essense is awe-inspiring and even that falls far to short.
How do you give words to a feeling, a moment in time that shapes what you will become and who you will be?
Because that word that I have searched for decades to discover is truly elusive.

Single Player
There are many games played on the world of Earth- some virtual, some board-bound, others much more real. For Grey Shor, the Apocalypse brings a game unlike any he’s seen before- one that pits him against all manner of monsters, both human and otherwise. In this new reality, he has but a single goal: win. With the Apocalypse comes Evolutions- abilities that combine and level to transcend humanity. For Grey, this means Single Player, a power that allows him to play this new game by his own rules. After fighting through the hell known as the Apocalypse's Tutorial, Grey returns to Earth, finding it poorly prepared for the hell ahead. Armed with information regarding the future and powers ripped straight from myth, he begins a game that will not only find its way to the annals of history, but change them forever. The only way to save the world is to destroy it. — This is a story inspired by Death Note, the System Apocalypse sub genre, and stories like Solo Leveling and The Gamer. Will it appeal to fans of those stories? I can only hope.

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
