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 Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
