《The Akashic Record Entry 1: Ascension》Chapter 26: Plan and Execute
Advertisement
Slava had been working on this for weeks. Kolya's provocation hadn't stopped him. On the contrary, it had instigated him to go further. How hypocritical was that guy? If that fucker didn't want to tell him everything, then fine. If he wanted to give up on himself, that was fine too. He could go die in a hole for all he cared. But he certainly wouldn't give up and he wouldn't let a dying man tell him how to live his life.
"Alright, I think I'm good," said a familiar voice, interrupting his thoughts. Arranging his glasses, he stood up. Looking past the holographic structure in front of him, his eyes crossed Sasha's.
"Are you sure? You're not gonna teleport us into a wall are you?" Slava had a serious look on his face and with the dim lighting in the room, it looked ominous.
"Listen, with how much we've practiced, I think I'll be alright." Slava couldn't quite see her expression, because of the mask covering the lower half of her face.
Kolya had been right about one thing though, some things were better done with the help of others. For some reason, the place had become almost impenetrable these past few days. Slava was getting restless. When he saw that a few days ago, he instantly called on Sasha's help.
"Remember, we were never here or there," he said, pointing to the hologram. "We are ghosts." As he waved his hand above his head, the structure disappeared. The device which looked like a gapped pillar dimmed. He then unhesitatingly walked towards the door. Not hearing Sasha follow, he turned around. When their eyes met, she spoke:
"Are you sure about this? If the security is so high it must mean something is going on. And what about the AITF? There's no way they won't detect us." Meeting her concerned gaze, he quickly answered.

"You're confident in your ability to get us in and out no matter what, right?" Seeing her nod slightly, he continued. "Then there's no reason to worry, we'll just see what's up and then we'll leave." Noticing her still pensive frown, he turned around, walking through the doorway as it opened before him. "It's too late to back off now. Come on, let's go."
After leaving the room Slava put a cap on while his facial features slightly changed. Having his suit embedded in his skin sure was convenient. Walking over to the lobby, he slid a semi-transparent card onto the counter.
"Thank you very much," he smiled. His voice was not his but slightly deeper and rougher.
"No problem," replied the lovely lady in front of him. "Thank you for signing up for our free trial, I hope you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon." The android in front of him looked astounding, no flaws or blemishes on her skin. She looked like she'd just come out of a comic book,. Sure people in this era were gorgeous, but she just looked angelic. Being careful not to gaze too long into her eyes, he turned around. With Sasha following him, her head down, they left the building melding into the crowds.
"So this is it huh?" Sasha finally sighed. They now stood before massive gates blocking their path. "How old is this place anyways, it looks ancient." The National Psychiatric Institute. It was actually quite close to the place he had gone to with Kolya. They were both part of the inner city, the elevated part that overlooked the rest of the metropolis.
"Alright let's go," Slava said, turning around. Crossing the street, he stepped in between two buildings before turning a corner.
"Remember," he said, putting his hand on her shoulder. "There is a closet in every room, you just have to bring us to the right one." Seeing her nod while rolling her eyes, he embraced her, both of their suits appearing to cover them. Before Sasha's exosuit could completely cover her face, her eyes and back flashed purple and in the next moment, they were gone.

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.

And what if that baby is the only human soul in existence that isn’t tainted by the Forbidden Fruit or her past sins?

She was tasked, by God himself, to guard over the Forbidden Tree which had since been replanted on an isolated island on Earth. She loves that job, and she loves that she was given direct instructions instead of having to figure out what God’s so-called ‘mysterious plans’ for her was. Centuries went by. Tallitanya is 21 years old when the Final Judgement is nigh. As an immortal who has yet to have a real affiliation with Heaven or Hell, Tallitanya has received a personal invitation from the Antichrist who wishes to recruit Tallitanya. Heaven also sends its angel – Michael – to inform Tallitanya that as a human, her soul would also be judged by God. She was ordered to leave her post as the Forbidden Tree’s guardian so that she could get to know the other humans before she makes an actual decision about who she wants to align herself with. The second she steps out of the island, it disappears. Turns out, her message from God was faked, and so was her mission. The devil had tricked her, and as the guardian of the Forbidden Tree, she must recover the tree and the island, or humanity will perish within the year.
