And one giant excuse!
Again, Cassie had been trying to tie a bow around a large box, but it kept slipping. She held a part of it with her elbow.
“Come on, it’s right there-” Again, there was a knock at her door and she let go of the bow, "Bruh, these guys are gonna have to really calm down with all this!" She went to her door again, but this time was met with a person who needed her to sign off on the package. He gave her a small smile before holding out the electronic pad.
"Ms. Ann right?" She nodded and signed before handing back the pen. He then handed her the box, she thought it was much lighter considering how he was holding it, but it wound up being a lot heavier and she nearly dropped it when it was handed over to her. "Have a nice day Miss!"
She hadn't said much of anything during that exchange, but she went back into her house and set the box down. This time there was a name on the outside of the box and of course,
"It's from Akuma." She said with a sigh. Cassie got her scissors and opened the box. Unlike the chocolate, she found herself disinterested with the contents of the present. "I don't know if he thinks I care about this or if he just wants to see me in that stuff, but he really need to stop cause' I have no space for this." She pulled out the first item and held it up until it came out of the box.

The entire box was filled to the brim with dresses, and by the look of it, it seemed like all the dresses were perfectly fit for her.
"I mean this one's pretty, but I have no reason or want to wear it." She decided just to pull every dress out and see if there was a note. She haphazardly threw every dress onto the floor and found a note at the bottom of the box. She read it aloud once more, "You should really think about visiting me wearing one of these- okay you fucking pervert." She threw the letter back into the box and proceeded to grab the dresses and shove them back inside the box. She then closed it back up and took the box into her room where she placed it into a corner of her room. "Could he stop sending me stuff now?" She asked no one in particular and she resumed sitting on the floor.

The Ultimate Supporter
Mona stood there, her body has stopped shaking as she stared at Sarah with no expression. “... do I have to set a goal?” Mona asked quietly. “Yes, if you do not then you will not be allowed to play Road Builder.” “...why? Why do we have to set a goal?” “This game is about inspiring people to work hard towards something that they wish to achieve. Don’t you have something you wish to achieve too ma’am?” “... I… do.” “What is your goal then ma’am?” “My goal… my goal is to become the ultimate supporter.” Feelings rushed back into Mona’s eyes as she clenched both her fists hard. “I want to help others succeed. I don’t need to be the main character. I want other people to be the main character.” Mona yelled as tears began to stream down her face. “I just… I just want to feel needed again.” Mona sniffled. Sarah looked at her with a soft expression on her face. “Is ‘I want to become the ultimate supporter’ your final choice?” Sarah asked. Mona bit on her lip as tears continued to stream down her face. She slowly nodded her head. “Alright then… this goal has been registered onto your avatar. You will soon spawn into a town and began your journey.” Sarah smiled, her eyes illuminating warmth to Mona. Mona nodded her head understanding as she wiped away the tears. A blue circle appeared around her as numbers counting down from ten appeared in front of her. 10… 9… 8… “By the way ma’am.” Sarah said. 7… 6… “Yes?” 5… 4… “I am sure you will achieve that goal, and to guarantee that, I give you my blessings.” 3… “What?” 2… “Enjoy your time in Road Builder.” 1… ********* Please point out if you notice any mistakes so that I can fix it. Also, because I re-edit this a lot so the chapters are going to come out very slowly(and because the blue tables take a while to do). Any comments and reviews are welcomed and are appreciated! Thanks for reading!

The Swarm
Anthony had been looking forward to playing the hottest new virtual reality game. When he put the VR helmet on he was met with a prompt asking him if he wanted to take a test to become a swarm knight. Thinking that this was one of the classes in the game he accepted. Instead of finding himself in the game, Anthony found that he was transported to a different planet. A planet where he would learn the greater truth of the universe. Everything was based on magic in the universe. Except that magic was based on nanorobots, called the swarm, that had been created through highly advanced technology. Genetics determined the access level and the amount of control that someone could wield over the swarm, and therefore their status in this society. Long ago Earth had been cutoff from the swarm. Now that it had been rediscovered, Earth would be reintegrated into the swarm. Unfortunately when that happened all the current technology on Earth would fail and be replaced with the ability to use magic. In effect, it would be the system apocalypse. As someone able to control the swarm, Anthony found himself in the unique position to influence how Earth was reintegrated into the swarm. Perhaps he could change things enough to save most of the people on Earth. But first he would have to learn how to control the swarm and become one of the leaders in the society he found himself in. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it somewhere between PG-13 and R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, and nudity.
