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.

Pokemon Slate Gray
The time has finally come for Slate Davy to begin his Pokémon journey! However, after an abrupt relocation and a shocking turn of events, he finds himself alone and confused in unfamiliar territory. With the help of the family Eevee and some new friends, Slate must navigate a mysterious new region filled with unknown Pokémon and dangerous enemies, and uncover its hidden secrets. Original artwork included with every chapter. Season 1 complete. Season 2 coming soon. Can't wait until the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 2022 release? This story is a brand-new adventure set in Satoshi Tajiri's Pokémon World, featuring original characters and original Pokémon designs (selected from 200+ of my own Fakemon), set in an original region! Some canon characters and Pokémon will also appear down the line. I'm not the greatest artist, but I'm trying to bring my ideas to life with drawings as well as words, so each chapter will include at least one piece of original artwork e.g. a Pokémon or Trainer from the story. I'll be writing in American-Style English, but let me know if you spot any British SPaG.

Oxymoronic/Desktop/Babel_Maze
[19:27] Oxymoronic: Ever heard of escape room games? [19:30] Oxymoronic: You know, those places where you pay a hundred bucks to get locked in a room with impossible puzzles. Impossible for you, that is. Your smartass friend inevitably figures them out in seconds while you're sitting there dumbfounded, wondering where your money went. [19:31] Oxymoronic: Or maybe you are that smartass friend. [19:33] Oxymoronic: Well, I played an escape room game that even all the smartasses in the world couldn't have figured out. [19:35] Oxymoronic: I could have written a novel about what we have come to call the Babel Maze. But frankly, I'm not much of a writer. I'd much rather prefer to let the forum archives speak on their own. [19:36] Oxymoronic: Might take a few months to upload all this. Lots of clutter, lots of spam. Cleaning all this is going to be a nightmare. [19:38] Oxymoronic: That's just what internet janitors like me do.

Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.

Escapia: A VRMMO
Escapia is a huge open world where every floor and every boss is designed differently, there are 10 classes, and there are hunting spots and activities in each floor! After our main characters are trapped in Escapia, they try to finish the game in order to return to their world. But to finish the game, they have to level up, fight the bosses on the floors, and unlock all the floors. On the last floor, there is the developer of the game himself. Finally, Escapia is truly an MMO! So with all its pros and cons... In the game, they have to grind, talk to NPC's and balance and upgrade a lot of power systems at the same time. To say the least, Escapia is a dark comedy on the one hand and a VRMMO story where various maps and worlds are explored on the other! I'm an author in Meganovel, Royalroad and Webnovel for now!
