《Tales of Light》It’s So Quiet… Why Can’t I Sleep?
Advertisement
It’s so quiet here, but I can’t sleep. It’s so quiet here since all my roommates moved out… Only accompanied by the sound of the air vent and a fan that squeaks… every now and then... I’ve only been alone for 7 hours and I feel like I’m going crazy. Sitting alone in a nearly empty living room… and hearing noises… probably the upstairs neighbors… the anthem of the dead sing silently as I stare at my box… People talking without speaking… it’s so quiet… even the noise of the lights screaming colors at me are as hollow as ever. Trapped in a room with my thoughts. Too cluttered but empty as the room I sit in. I can hear it running through my head as the choir sings… Its so peaceful in the quiet morphing into madness. Yet there are people around me, divided by barriers. Never alone yet always alone. I dare not speak cause no one will answer except the voice of my thoughts. Is this madness? Trapped in a room yet at the same time free with no regard for others? It’s so quiet here, yet I can’t sleep. No one creeping around at night, the ghost of pool balls clatter in my mind… yet when I look… there’s just a dining room table. It’s so quiet, why can’t I sleep? I can do what I want but I just feel like trapping myself in my room. Yet… even my room feels dead. With all the decorations and items I could need. Yet it feels as hollow as my mechanical heart. I should feel sad? Glad? That my roommates are gone and I’ve got all this space? Indifferent is what my mind is telling me. Something’s missing. I feel like I’m being watch yet no one’s there. It’s so quiet, why can’t I sleep? My heart remains calm as my mind races beyond infinity… No… further. Every conversation replaying in my head, yet the words aren’t there. Just people going through the motions of talking. No can hear my thoughts if I speak yet I talk as if someone is still there. My head hurts from thinking, yet that’s all what it does. The job I dread going to for a few hours a week is what I look forward to. There’s nothing here but ghosts. I don’t know what to do. I’m so tired… but I can’t sleep.

Sokaiseva
Erika Hanover received her magic on her twelfth birthday—far earlier than anyone was supposed to—and suddenly, everything in her life made sense. Magic could solve everything. Magic was all she'd ever wanted. When she was offered a spot on the roster of a mercenary group policing magic-tinged crime in her home of upstate New York, she jumped at the chance. Anything to get away from her hometown. It didn't matter what the work was. She didn't care. Now, though, with almost a decade between herself and her time as a child soldier with the Radiant, things aren't as clear as they used to be. Part slice-of-life, part coming-of-age, part surreal absurdist nightmare, Sokaiseva is the tale of a shell-shocked shadow-war's veteran recounting her time growing up as the last line of defense in a world secretly teetering on the brink of disaster. Book Two (Teardrop Two-Step) is going live now! New chapters go up Wednesday and Sunday.

Children of the Sun
Abigaël Chase, an ordinary physicist with an ordinary life on Earth got transported to another world. A world of magic and war, a world where death was never very far. She unexpectedly survived for many years thanks to a hidden power she didn't think she had. The same power that many people, gods and demons alike, wanted to annihilate no matter the cost. Hunted and cornered, Abigaël bet everything on a daring move which nearly ended up in her death. Having acquired a new body, Abigaël must do everything in her power to return to Earth. For Earth was in danger and only herself held to key to its survival. WARNING : It will contain mature content. I checked LitRPG not because there will be game-elements (pop up screen from the "system", the god or something like that) but because of the world mechanic itself (there will be level up, quest/mission, guild, etc?).
