《The Fragile World》V1 Chapter 2-Construct
Advertisement
Davids Pov-
After the strange feeling of having everything distort around me, the scenery changes. The surrounding's which used to be my office is now completely devoid of anything. After several seconds trying to get comfortable with the feeling of floating in nothingness, I finally notice the being in front of me. I stare silently at this enigma before me, as it sits in a weird cross legged position leaning back on it's hands. Even though he lacks any kind of discerning features or form somehow he still appears humanoid as if the void around him seems to avoid that one spot. Hearing that strangely jovial voice again which now slightly teasing.
"You know even though I can understand how appealing I am, it's still rude to stare you know."
Ignoring the jibe I ask. "Where's Sarah"
"Currently she resides in a pocket dimension while awaiting for time to catch up, I delayed it a bit to speak to you alone first" Pausing a moment he then said "Well to tell you the truth she originally wasn't supposed to be a part of this however that's not important. But before we get to that... I know you have questions so ask away."
"What exactly happened back there and who are you?" May as well ask the obvious first...
"Obviously I stopped time and as for who I am... I guess you could call me God." He replies
Eh... What did he just say? The second part I pretty much expected... After all this, I mean what else could he be but god. Yet I am pretty sure he clearly said that he was the one responsible for stopping time... What the hell! Make up you're mind man, you are either the good guy or the bad guy. As if reading my mind he spoke.

"Unfortunately to avoid multiple paradoxes, I had to stop time and make some changes due to... An Unusual problem"
So why am I an exception... "What does this have to do with me?"
"Hmm Were to begin... I am sure that you have at least once considered the possibility of parallel worlds."
I nod in affirmation and he continues. "Contrary to the original belief, these parallel universe's are not separated by space but instead time. Countless universe's overlap one another, always remaining separated by the event horizon... Until now. What should have been impossible has occurred, at least two universe's have merged so to avoid the utter destruction of said universes I had to intervene. However despite averting the immediate threat, I was unable to keep things from falling through."
"You still haven't answered my question, What does this have to do with me."
"Everything... You see the reason that you were unaffected by my having frozen time is because the multiverse itself had changed some variables."
"Meaning?"
"Because of the fact that there is now two of you in the same timeline the multiverse made changes to resolve the paradox, in this case it ejected both you and you're counterpart from the event horizon. If you think of a universe as a construct within the multiverse then you essentially became a construct within a construct. Considering how that may affect things in the long run, I'll be observing you for a while... This probably won't be the last time we meet either."
In silent resignation not sure what to think about the idea of having god as a stalker, Nor keen on the idea of staying here any longer "Can you send me back my world?"
Immediately after I said that everything once again distorts around me and I am back in my office. Checking my watch 4:30pm. So time flows differently there eh? Thinking to myself. Cleaning up the now spilled coffee, I decide to check my phone messages to find out everybody mysteriously canceled the appointments today. Score one for god. Heading into the lounge I find Sarah sleeping. Chuckling a bit while thinking "Time for a little payback" I shake her shoulder a bit to wake her up. She half opens her eye's a bit mumbling something to herself clearly having not woken up."

"Sleeping on the job eh? Guess I won't be buying lunch tomorrow after all" I say as she realizes what's happening and flushes while trying to defend herself.
"I am so sorry, lately I've been having trouble sleeping because of my kids"
"Don't worry about it." What kids thinking to myself but decide not to mention it. God you are a horrible liar. Speaking of which she always is happy to give me a hard time while having a short fuse on the receiving end.
Since it's almost time to leave and nobodies coming today anyway. I decide it wouldn't kill me to leave a little early. Heading out into the parking lot, I get into my car which happens to be a brand new 2014 Black Ford Fusion. Not bad if I do say so myself and relax as I breath in the scent of leather. Quickly hitting the expressway. While thinking about everything that has happened I role down my window and grab a smoke. Arriving at my house I now find myself with new problem. I left my house key at work! Staring at the door with a sinking feeling, I reach for the doorknob hoping by some dumb luck I left it unlocked. Grasping the handle while thinking here go's nothing. "Click"
As I walk into my house feeling the relief roll of me I soon find out this is short lived however. As I suddenly feel a horrible stabbing pain in my head I can only fall to the floor and scream. It feels as if somebody is gouging my eye's out with a red hot poker. As the pain just keeps getting worse I scream louder and louder until I can't anymore. After what seemed like forever but was really just a few seconds I feel something snap in my mind. Then....... I black out.

The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game - A Virmo Story
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world’s deepest dungeon. He is an immortal pinnacle of existence that is otherwise known as an ancient dragon. And he is terribly bored. His sole source of amusement comes from scrying on the adventurer teams that are in the upper levels of his dungeon. Through spying on adventurers, Kragathor hears of a new magic item, called a Virmo, that allows one to project their mind into a fictional world in some sort of grand-scale game. Recognizing these Virmo games as a potential diversion for his endless boredom, he orders a minion to infiltrate the nearby town and acquire some of these games. Once the minion returns, he logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of ‘science’ and ‘technology’, and embarks on his new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class. Release Schedule: As I wrap up the end of the first major arc, I will publish the chapters as they're completed. However, as I transition into the next arc, I will go with a two or three times a week release schedule, since I will be splitting time between this story and Chimera. Discord Server

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
