“Jacob!?!”
“Michael! I need you now! Don’t lose it now! The enemy is closing in!”
"H-Ho-How a-are y-y-you h-here?"
"Michael! Get it together! I can't deal with you right now, we're in the middle of a battlefield! Think a little. The enemies are aproaching, and fast at that. If we don't retreat right now, we're gonna die!"
"o...Okay. But after this we need to talk."
"Whatever!"
Michael was feeling extremely dizzy and lightheaded. He could barely think straight. Why is Jacob alive? Or did i die, and this is what comes after? And he also had a huge migraine wich didn't help. It felt like he'd been hit by a truck. But because of all of his training he knows better than just spacing out in this battlefield-
"Michael, you see that hill over there?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"We need to go there to take cover."
"Okay got it."
Michael didn't really care about what Jacob was saying, he just listened to the important words like "go there" or "take cover". He just couldn't think straight. His migraine was influincing his train of thought. He felt like he was forgetting something important, but he didn't know what. He went with Jacob and took cover behind a pile of rocks.
"It seems like you're very confused and hurt, so just rest for a short while okay? I'll go and check out the situation. I'll just be over there, okay?"
"G-got it."
Michael was loosing conciousness, he was barely aware of his surroundings, then he suddenly jolted up. He was very confused, not because of the migraine or that he was forgetting something. It was because the migraine was gone, he didn't feel dizzy anymore. What changed?
"Jacob?"
"JACOB!?!"
Michael was franticly looking for him, and then he found him.
"Jacob! JACOB! JACOB ARE YOU OKAY!?! OH GOD, THEY SHOT YOU! No, no, no, no, no, Jacob!"
*Cough, Cough*
"What are you doing here Michael? I told you to wait for me over there."

"The migraine is gone, i'm just so confused. Jacob, do you know what's going on?"
BOOM!
"Michael!"
"W-Wha?"
Michael's migraine was back, but this time 10 times worse, and he felt way more confused, and again had a feeling that he had forgotten something.
"Get it together Michael! We don't have time for this, this is a battlefield Michael. A real battlefield in a war, so, we are gonna head for that hill over there alright?"
"M-My head hurts, what did you say?"
"Just come with me."
Jacob started dragging Michael with him towards the hill.
"There, just, just rest here, alright? I'll be over there."
"Mhm..."
Michael felt like this had already happened, but he told himself it was because of the migraine. His counciousness started slipping away, and then suddenly the migraine was gone and his head was clear. And when his thoughts got clear, he just got more confused. He decided to find Jacob for now. He yelled for him and found him, shot. He had a short conversation with him, and then another bomb landed there. Michael's migraine became 10 times worse than the last one, it felt like his head would explode, his ears were ringing and he just felt like shouting. He didn't know what was going on, until again, his head suddenly cleared up. He found Jacob, talked with him, bomb, went to the hill, found jacob, talked with him, bomb, went to the hill. Each time he was going to the hill his migraine was 10 times worse than the last one, if it weren't for Jacob saving himm all of the time he would have died long ago. The same thing just kept repeating, and repeating, and repeating for what felt like eternity. "Is this hell?" Michael often thought. "Is this my punishment? But punishment for what?" But he stood strong, even though he wanted to, he resisted. He got emotionally exhausted and barely kept his coinciousness. But the, one of the times he was heading for the hill, the migraine ended early, the ringing stopped, his confusion dissapeared, and then he heard an unfamiliar voice.

(Ah, is this on? Now it's on. Hello dear, dear participants to our game show! You have all been selected for either your strong mental fortitude of resisting everything that happened, or you stopped it from happening in the first place. I wish to congratulate the 1000 people who passed the entrance examination! Hooray! We chose 250 000 000 dead souls, and put them through this examination, where time moves 100 000 000 000 000 times faster than heaven/hell and 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 times faster than earth. For you it has been 100 eons, and for us it's been a year. Anyways, we put the 250 000 000 souls through the worst thing that ever happened to them, and forced them to live through it, over, and over, and over again for nearly 100 eons here, but somehow, despite that fact 1000 of you survived, some of you have developed the world your in, thought of yourself as God, others have been stuck in their nightmare for these 100 bilion years. Either way, the entrance exam is now over, you who have ruled your world will have a huge head start over the mental ones. That's why everyone who has gone through this for so long will recieve blessings. Oh, it seems it's only one person this time, hey you, Michael was it? Good job on pulling through. You should hear a voice in your head very soon, tell me if you haven't heard anything when i return.)
The white rabbit with blood red eyes, in a suit with a tie dissapeared after finishing it's sentence. Michael was in shock, "Game show?" This was all for a "Game show?". It was impossible for him to control his emotions, and when he was about to go on a rampage he started hearing a voice.
[User: M_i_c_h_a_e_l Data: Unstable, barely made it through the examination. He can go on a rampage any second, loading ways to prevent this... Supplying user M_i_c_h_a_e_l with the trait: "Emotion control" and "Heart of steel". The trait "emotion control" allows the user to manipulate their own and others emotions, but if the system deems it unnecesary or bad it will take control instead, The traid Heart of steel calms the person with this trait no matter what situation. Checking host... [System] detected that user: M_i_c_h_a_e_l is very unstable in his train of thought. Supplying user: M_i_c_h_a_e_l with the trait "parralel thinking", "Increased speed of thought" and "Mental ressistance". Users train of thought has now calmed down. Now applying blessings...]
[You have recieved the divine blessing of ◗ █☰ ▛▚▞▜ ██ ▛▟ ▙▄ ██ 🆁 ◗ █〓 🆁 ██ ▛▚▞▜ ▞▚ ▛▟ ██ ▜▛ █▬█ █☰ 🆁 ▚▚▘ ██ 🆁 ▙▄ ◗ ▞▚ 🅶 ▞▚ 🆁 ██ ▜▛ █▬█. ]

[User: M_i_c_h_a_e_l has now recieved emergency treatment and the divine blessing. The system has deemed that Michael is still not stable. The system had deduced that it is a physical trauma, the system has decided to supply the trait "Body reset" and "Super regeneration", The system will activae "Body reset" when user: M_i_c_h_a_e_l is ready.]
(There, all done. Oh right, i forgot about you, did you hear the voice?)
"... No, i didn't. I have decided to talk peacefully for now with you, can you explain what's going on?"
(Ah, what a pain. Well since you didn't reciev "his" divine blessing you'll have to do with mine. It won't help you as much though. But there's nothing i can do. I will now send you to the game show. I wish you good luck.)
"Wai-"
And so, Michael was transported to the game show.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

The Ties That Bind
John Divine avoided home like it was riddled with disease, returning long enough each year to visit the few people he cared about and then leaving before the person he avoided was informed he was there. But when he returned home to find his brother, all that anonymity went out the window.

Thrust back into the spotlight and his mothers crosshairs, he will need to save his family, stand his ground, and find himself along the way. A list easy enough to accomplish, unless you happen to be a reincarnated grecian diety. Dawn was a hard worker. She worked for a local restaurant, helped her aunts run their store, and was a typical mid-twenties american girl. That is until she met a not so local anymore man by the name of John. Now shes solving ancient riddles, narrowly avoiding her own demise and discovering a whole new side to the town she calls home. With her whole world uprooted around her, all she can do is hang on.
