"Subject 42950," A female robotic voice called out. "Step forward." A young man in white clothes steps forward to the center of a circular platform, then mechanized arms sprouted out of the spherical room surrounding him.
"Subject 42950, put on the HUD interface presented upon you." A black metallic mask was handed over to him. As he wore them, it started covering his entire head. First, it was darkness, then the inside of the mask lighted up, flickering as it took him to an entirely different room. An old wooden house with nothing much inside.
He touches his face in curiosity, felt nothing but his bare skin. The door opened. "Subject 42950, any discrepancies with your HUD?" A woman in white robes steps forward, slowly inching towards him. He put down his hand and answered back. "None,"
Three more maidens appeared out of nowhere, boxing him in. "Subject 42950, we will now integrate you with the systems' physical interface, bear with us for a moment." Each put a hand on him, then the scenery flickered, bringing him back to the white room, now filled with atrocious mechanical arms.
Every arm systematically started clasping at his extremities, pierced needles along his spine, adding wires, tubes, and machinery all over his body. He coughs a bit of blood. The maiden on his right wipes it off his face. "Subject 42950, please check your parameters before we proceed."
He flicks his wrist, a console appeared before him. "System... Character... Status," He labored through the commands. Browses through, then said. "All good,"
"Subject 42950... please present a proper name for the system." The maiden on his left asks while gesturing towards the one on the front. He looked at System then said.

"Matrean"
The maiden in front opened up a console and started inputting commands. "Subject 42950, Name, Matrean; Sex, Male; Age, 18; Affiliation, Nemesis..."
The scenery started flickering again. Bringing him back and forth the white room. Then total darkness.
The maiden in front appeared from the shadows wearing a bloody tunic. "I will now integrate your consciousness with the system — standby". She grinned, showing bloody jagged teeth then...
Everything went black.

Blackened Blood[Progression Fantasy]
Broken and lost by the dredges of this world a boy awakens once again into life's game within hallowed black halls, his first taste of new life cold and hunger along with the echoing drip of temptation. Deep sickness festering within in him. Given a second chance by either coincidence or something more sinister, follow the story of he who bleeds black. Betrayal, greed and blood littered in droves across this hellbound path. ********** 2000+ words daily for now, will reduce to thrice a week after the writathon. If it wasn't clear, this is a vampire story taking place in a high fantasy environment. Although while its main character is a vampire and that is one main focus of the story it will also lend itself to the magic side of this world as well. Basically, if you're interested in vampires or magic heavy stories, this will have something for you... probably. The synopsis is kinda vague but If you give it a shot, I think you'll like it. Also, feel free to drop any sort of constructive criticism since this is one of my first experiences writing in first person.Forgot to add that the story will be a little less action-orientated until around chapter 20+ when... well... read and see :) Any chapters with the * next to them have been edited or tweaked. I'll remove it once all of them are.

8 243The Devil's Tears
The 88th Magic Knight Candidate Examination is going to take place in the city of Abros, the capital of Rublor Kingdom. Thousands of young talented fighters handpicked by reputable Knight's are going to participate in this exam. But only a handful of those people will be able to pass the exam and get the chance to be selected to become a magic knight candidate. At the same time, Sebastian Heller also arrives at the capital in hopes of becoming a magic knight candidate. He comes from a small village far away out in the boonies. Excluding Sebastian's skills in combat abilities, he had few problems of his own. Sebastian since birth had an intimidating face which made him a little harder to approach. On top of that, he also suffers from 'nervous laughter', a condition where animals naturally grin or show their teeth when nervous, stressed, angered, or uncomfortable. Because of these problems he often mistook for a goon or an evil person. With such difficult problems and tough competition, can Sebastian pass through the exam and become a magic knight candidate?
8 110Super Sekken (An Action Shonen Story)
This is the author’s first story ever written. It may not be great, but do check it out, and I hope you enjoy! I’m currently working on its sequel. Hope. Courage. Self-value. Friends. These all were traits that former junior high soccer champion and first year Miyuki Sekken had none of until she first walked into the doors of her local High School. Despite being a sports athlete phenomenon in her school district, Miyuki dreaded its attention, and even quit her career in pursuit of living a simplistic daily routine. This daily routine would be inevitably interrupted when she chooses to 'branch out' by talking to people. Whether it be a chance of bad luck, fate, or karma, Sekken ends up speaking to someone who was unknowingly suffering from a curse: a curse that causes anyone who tries to get close to them to disappear. Miyuki Sekken would be the next victim, finding herself face-to-face against a once-thought mythical mafia. This gang is not just any gang either, but one who is run solely by the school students of Maguro High, who hold secrets to powers unheard of by the world. How will this first year survive? Will she conquer her anxiety and thwart the gang's vicious rule? Or will she end up losing more than she could have imagined? P.S. I am not a good drawer, so I use Picrews and photo editors to get the general idea for my characters' designs. Rights to the Picrews used go to their respective authors.
