《The book of forever》Chapter 1.3: Reflections
Advertisement
Is this world so prone to feeling like lost? This world that we leave behind with each step. The footprints in the snow, they fade and blow. Yet ever shining is a memory, are faces and voices we use to know. They leave with time and so we are more blind. Without them we are different, yet, same. Our memories glow, our present in name. We live taking small steps forwards all the same. This part of me, that grows and bleeds, it cries. For this past of yours, for this past of mine.
We made so many memories that we... looking back at them have but one or two. We threw them away, to make many new. Yet ash to ash, dust to dust, we cannot... This past we sealed, never to now return. This celebration of past times we learn, may very much be the very most last. In this form, for all fades to memories. Is this the end, no, I still, still... believe. We will see eachother again in life.
Strangers at crossroads, enemies in strife. The past we keep moving further from, stays. You will live, I will live, with the come day.
One step forwards, we cannot step one back. We keep going, looking back at our tracks. The effect you have, will forever shine. As ruins of the past, of simple times. Where do we go from here, our paths diverge. Where do we go from here, the rumbling earth.
New adventures! Oh how they do so glow.
New stories! Although tears may still... still flow
We grow, and change, our hearts and brains, stay same. There is no sadness, there is no lost shame. No pain, only longing, for paths blocked. The flock gathers, the flock will seperate. We find each other on this path and late. Lately I think that's fine, it all does shine. We may miss the times we once never had. but we will find new memories, good... bad. So don't cry, there is no sadness or tears. Only a new beginning, have no fear.

We may never be able to go back, our hearts heavy with no easy front path. We may never ever go back, but smile. For the future never lacks a "goodmorning".
A time where the world will shine, a new dawn, brightness even during darkest of times. A place beyond where we have ever been. We're travelers of fate, yet not forget. The past turned us into who we now are, so let. A picture book last for the rest of time, memories bright, hopes that long will now shine.
We will not forget, those memories now. We will hold onto them at our cold boughs. To explore a fridgid ocean landscape, to explore the uncharted futures wake. Where will we be in but one single year? We knew where we were, so now do we hear. The laughing, the crying, the memories. As well as crisp walking to future see. We will smile for all that we have lost, never stop smiling even in frost. The future may be frigid, may be cold. But it can also be endlessly warm, only time will unfold this aching pain.
So smile, although it is so so hard. So cry, let it all out forever bared. Our scars, and victories, they make us now. We will never be able to cry out. That we weren't here, that we could not see. Because the truth verily is that... We were here, we existed, we laughed.
Thankyou for being here, thankyou for that. This alone is enough for loud applause. A procession of clapping, and some tears. Tears because we loved what we used to hear. Smile, and cry, sadness is not so bad. Just get up again, for this future glad!
The past is behind us, so very so. But where we walk towards, it will bright glow! Smile, laugh, celebrate the coming day. It does not diminish the long lost past. Instead it embroiders it with a chime, the chiming of laughter, for all of time! Let none forget us and our slow set rhyme.

"We were here, we were there, we do still care. For this present we will leave long behind, we will smile and laugh for all time! Thankou for being the light which did shine!" I say, as I see traces of you aligned. Aligned in this procession, possession. You will continue to be part of me. You still are part of the community.
This light we will see, when we close our eyes. "Goodmorning, and goodnight, for the last time"
Flowers of happiness and soft spring rain, the start of something new always has pain... hope you'll be okay wherever you are, you have many many friends here and far. I will see you in this life and the next, this is not goodbye, just see you later!

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

Even I Don't Want to See the World Burn Down: Rank SSS Demon
A very powerful demoness by the nickname Amethyst has been causing chaos and destruction for over 1000 years, except over the last couple hundred years, she's become rather bored and hasn't really done much out in the world. Until one day, encouraged by a friend, she heads out once again to wreak havoc on the world only to run across a half-elf half devil child. Not having been in the situation before, she decides to take the child and raise it herself. Diguising herself as a devil as well, Amethyst goes to a nearby human city with the child to raise it in a more "suitable" environment. Follow along Amethyst and her "adopted" child as they adapt to changing fantasy world with advancing technology, a diverse range of beings like elves and arachne, and the destructive power of monsters and other demons. And of course, they can't just be left to their own devices cause the world is set to turn into an intolerable hellscape if no one does anything about it. Not even Amethyst wants that to happen. *Author's note: this story is a work in progress meaning chapters may get deleted, editing will happen, and chapter releases will be irregular as I'm doing this just for fun. Plus this is my first time working on this sort of thing. So if you're ok with all of that, read along. Of course, comments and feedback are always welcome. Update 7 June 22: Life has been busy with family and work so this is a very slow updating story, for which I apologize (I like to read too).
