I woke up, as most protagonists do, and opened my eyes.
Huh, complete darkness. Looks normal.
I'll just go back to sleep now...
..Zzzzzzzz...
zzzzzz...
zzzzzz...
Huh? Wha? What's that you say? I'm supposed to be doing something?
..Zzzzz...zzz...zz...z..
Whatever...I'm getting bored of sleep anyway...may as well get up.
I put my hands up against the stone lid of my coffin, and shoved it off. I sat up, and whistled. All around, looted corpses lay sprawled. I chuckled a little.
"My, my, my, my friends, you don't look too good. Adventurer got your purse? Pft, hahaha!"
I make such good jokes. I lift myself up, out of the stone slab, and walk down the long, creepy corridor. I meet a couple zombies as I walk, but they ignore me. Well, here in the tomb, we're all dead. Having something in common helps people get along, as they say. Or as I say. Can't really remember which.
I pause to pick up a long, black coat, and whirl it around my shoulders and put the hood up. That nasty sun makes getting a tan very painful, very hard, and also fatal. How I know that?
...I shouldn't ask myself tough questions. I'll tire my poor head, and that would suck.
Suck...suck...suck...right! Like a vampire! Or a prostitute! But I really hope I'm the former! Being born a prostitute is like being born at ninety years of age, and then having a heart attack five minutes later and dying, despite all of the very capable doctors around you, who were too shocked at having a ninety-year-old coming from a fetus to actually help resuscitate you, resulting in your tragic and avoidable death, but which is agreed by all as fortunate as it would have been very strange to raise a ninety-year-old.

I step out of the tomb, and start walking through the graveyard. I pass skeletals, zombies, a couple undead rats. I really hope I'm a vampire. I check my reflection in a marble tombstone, and although it's a little disheartening that I can see myself, I at least have red eyes. I check my fangs, but they don't look any bigger than the usual human canines.
It's okay, living means believing!
I do believe in vampires, I do, I do! I do believe in vampires, I do, I do!! I DO BELIEVE IN VAMPIRES, I DO, I DO!
I open the gate, walk out, then close it, and keep walking farther from the graveyard, while quietly praying to god, or the devil, or a cactus, or a tree, honestly I'll take an insomniac at this point, I just really hope I'm a vampire.
I see a person. I rush forward, open my mouth wide, dive towards his throat-!!!
*nom*
"..."
"..."
I hold on desperately, hoping that I'll be able to drink his blood. Hoping, believing, begging...
"Uh, excuse me, but...could you stop chewing on me? I'm not into men, and I don't even know you..."
I stop trying to bite him, let go, and go into orz position. "I'm a failure of a vampire..."
He blinked at me, then asked, "You're a vampire? But you don't have any fangs..."
I sobbed, "I don't know! I really want to be, but I can see my own reflection, and I don't have fangs, I just wanna know what I am..."
He pokes me and says, "Then, why not just look at your status?"
I blink at him. "I can do that? Teach me, oh great lord!"
"Okay! Just think 'Status' and concentrate. K'?"
I nod, and think Status with all my will.
"..."
"..."
"...so, what are you? Are you a vampire?"
I don't want to say. I don't want to see. All I want is to die. What I see, displayed in bright blue letters, next to the "Race" classification is,
"Lesser Weak, Feeble, Decrepit Zombie."
"...I'm very sorry."
...
I'd rather have been born a prostitute.

As the Godking Wills
The Empire and the Church span almost the entirety of the known world, absent some pockets of lawlessness and the realms of the deceiver. They are governed as a despotic theocracy, ruled in name by the solitary and omnipotent God, Al'Shazan.In practice, Al'Shazan is bored, flighty, cruel and has little interest in ruling the Empire. Instead the Empire is run by the High Priest, Minister of the Treasury, and the Knight Commander of the inquisition. Their job is to make sense of the contradictory nonsense spewed forth by their living God while simultaneously ruling the greatest nation that the world has ever known. The entire time, they have to maintian the facade that Al'Shazan is a benevolent and loving God in order to maintain morale in the general populace. --------- The actual genre for this is more along the lines of a Fantasy Political Comedy/Drama/Thriller. It will not be 'crunchy' (minimal action, minimal descriptions of powers/abilities) but instead be focusing on world building and political maneuvering. As a warning, it is fairly dark.

Divinity
“Let an old warrior caution you, there are parts of every tale that are not told. The part where none of those mighty champions died peacefully in their beds. The part where the hero meets their end surrounded by the enemy and in horrible agony. They were alone in their final moments and unsure if their sacrifice would bear fruit. I do not want that for you.” The Heavens created the Realm of Man and saved it from the eternal silence of the Void - once. Centuries later, humanity’s unity has fractured beneath the weight of time and the whims of man. Raegn Edelgard fights on in his home of Bastion, one of two everlasting fortifications to protect the Realm from the remnants of the darkness that still persist. Raegn hoped to be written into legend alongside the stories that inspired him since childhood, yet the scouting skirmishes and small battles that have been fought since the time of his forefathers offer little chance at glory. When the Void wakes once more the Realm questions if the first war was ever really won…and if they might be saved again. Raegn is left searching for purpose and must navigate through a world teetering on the brink of extinction. Dire times create the greatest heroes, but tales that stand the test of time are written twice - in blood before ink.Divinity is a fantasy series about Raegn Edelgard, a young man who must make his way through a world that is struggling to realize it is, for the second time in its history, teetering on the brink of extinction.

Stealing Is An Art Form | ✓
Solace Laurent and Sage Reyes never got along. They fought and competed over everything, whether it was grades or afterschool clubs. She hated his arrogant, I-don't-care-about-the-rules behaviour and he loved to annoy her. Not one day went by in high school when an argument didn't break out until he disappeared without a trace. Solace, along with Sage's family and the entire school, thought he was dead. After months of criminal investigations, search parties, and missing persons posters, he was nowhere to be found. But what happens when Sage shows up at her doorsteps in the middle of the night, bruised and bloody?***"Sage?" whispered Solace in utter shock. He smirked at her as he leaned against the doorframe, looking her up and down from her blue penguin pajamas to her oversized t-shirt until he met her eyes. She felt a rush of emotions when she heard his voice after six months. It was the same: deep, unbothered, and familiar. "Solace Laurent, I need your help."
