Who Says This OL Can't Become A Splendid Slime!?
A journey that began with a simple wish, taken horribly out of context. 'Ah, I wish that I could change my life. I wish for something truly exciting to happen.' Follow our heroine as she surmounts increasingly difficult odds! As she battles with heavy topics such as 'Is it really safe to eat this?', 'How am I supposed to slay a wyvern!?', and the ever-popular 'Does this shade of pink make my slime look fat?' "For the record, I've never asked that last question you bastard narrato—" Follow her as she traverses the world and seeks out her destiny! Thrown into the world with nary a leg to stand on, what will our gelatinous heroine do next? Will she become a savior? Or this world's very own Demon King!? "Wouldn't you mean Queen? Aside from that, please stop talking like I'm not here." But at the end of the day, there is one foe that she just may never slay. Despite all her efforts, will she be able to overcome the barrier that is ... her marital status!? "Alright, I'm going to Devour you too." We hope you enjoy the thrilling conclusion! "It really isn't that exciting. Please don't expect too much."

8 604Black Sky
Space... An endless expanse of darkness populated by countless specks of light. Around many of those specks of light planets orbit, just cosmic motes of dust, but on some motes, there is life. And life, not content to stay on those motes of dust, found a way to challenge the endless expanse, to leap through the void to find other specks of light. This is the story of Leonora Horn, aspiring Starfighter Pilot of the Solari Federation and her travels through the Black Sky. [This story is set in the same Universe as my story Scarlet but both can easily be read individually] [This story contains a female, bisexual protagonist.]

Once World War III had finished ravaging the world, a greater, more technologically advanced civilization began to flourish. Humanity believed that they had endured their last great war and spared no expense in their new found freedoms which had opened up their advancement into the Virtual World. Violence and terror seemed a thing of the past while the idea of being able to live out your wildest dreams unrestrainedly had become the new sales pitch for living.As the lessons of the past were forgotten in a time when the world believed the past was outdated, the quiet seeds of corruption found fertile ground and new powers by which to accomplish their goals.All of this was hidden from a world so caught up in their own advancements. Yet there were those that weren't so convinced that everything was over. And so they refused to stay caught in the world of virtual reality and instead sought to make a positive difference in the real world. But what happens when the path they had chosen leads them back to that which they had discarded.This material is copyrighted © by David Baughman.
