《Emma and Bort》Emma is a pyromaniac.

Emma Keady is a pyromaniac. She is crazy for fire. It doesn’t matter if it’s a candle, an actual fire, or even a burning smell. She will go crazy for fire.
Emma Keady is a pyromaniac. She loves fire. It warms her heart. It lights her path.
She has fiery, wavy shoulder-length hair. She is a little taller and thinner than a piece of fire, too.
Emma’s eyes are blue, like fire. The first time she went camping, it was at a birthday party for one of her older brothers at their house. His friends had set up a raging bonfire in the backyard, and they invited Emma over to help. At first, a tent was set up for her on the roof, but after the party was over and the kids went home, Emma quickly took off her shoes and ran barefoot through the smokey, smelly plastic. That’s why her eyes are blue.
Emma doesn’t like spiders. She has one little spider, though, that she loves. It lives under the kitchen toilet in a glass jar. It is called “Toilet Joey”.
If you’re looking for spiders, you can usually find them by turning over rocks and looking under them to see if they are web-building. If you see a spider, don’t try to touch it. It may be a poisonous one. If it is a black window, don’t get a boner.
Emma doesn’t like gaming, but her favorite game is “Gigies Skylines”. She likes setting them on fire. She has a really strong stomach. She once swallowed 20 pills in one day.
Emma’s favorite flower is the Magnolia, which she likes setting on fire. She also likes lightning bugs and fireflies. When she was little, she used to go outside and look for fireflies. Sometimes, her parents would go out and look for her, and they would get lost in the woods and starve.

Emma’s favorite flower is the Magnolia, which she likes setting on fire. It smells really good when it burns. She has a strong stomach, so she doesn’t get sick from swallowing so many pills. She has a lot of pills.
Emma loves eating Pimento-pepper-spiked squirrels. She likes to set them on fire and watch them squirm. She likes to watch them squirm even more when she eats them. She loves how the pepper tastes when it’s burning.
Emma likes eating Pimento-peppered squirrels. She has tried to cook them, but they don’t cook the way she likes them. She has given them to her cat, who turns them into cat food. Sometimes, Emma buys cat food, but her cat prefers the squirrels.
Emma loves pimento-pepper-flavored squirrels. She likes to eat them raw. They taste so good, too. She knows a lot about birds, too.
Emma knows that she smokes too much. She really wants to quit, and she has tried a lot of times. But she has never been able to quit smoking.
When Emma was an infant, she tried to quit smoking. She tried for eight weeks, but every day, she smoked another cigarette.
A lot of people believe that cigarettes are addictive, but Emma knows that that’s not true. It’s a myth. Her cigarettes gave her a good reason to set things on fire.
Emma hasn’t had too many jobs, but she currently operates a deep fryer at one of her brothers’ favorite fast-food restaurants. She likes to fry things, even though it smells really bad and makes her eyes water sometimes. She likes the smell of frying oil and the sound of the oil hissing when she fries things. She likes to watch the food get crispy and the grease bubble. It reminds her of her fires.
Her stolen lighter collection is in Emma’s bedroom. In her bedroom, Emma keeps a lot of lighters next to her bed and pillow so she can grab one whenever she needs.
Emma is not the only one with a lot of lighters. She knows this because she has seen her sister’s lighters a lot. They have to be put in a Ziplock bag when they’re not in use.
Emma stole her lighters from her parents. This was pretty hard to do because her parents were never really around.
Emma is a pretty bland pyromaniac.

Living in Paradise
The first thing I saw when I woke up was a group of people standing over me shouting "Happy Birthday!!!". Immediately after they start debating what type of world I came from and calling me 'William'. Later on I would learn that everyone here is reborn from another world and many children come with magic or superpowers or other gifts leftover from their old lives. I came from a world that was, to me, typical modernity. To them it was pretty boaring with the only thing interesting about my world being was a higher than average tech level for a non-spacefaring civilization; technology that wouldn't even work in this new world. All I brought with me was a peculiar mindset and the strong suspicion that there must be something more to life. Once everyone started to clear out my mother took me up in her arms, explained how the world works, and then stabbed me in the neck with a knife. I got better. -------------------- This story was written from the central idea of a simple question: What if a videogame like world, with all the normal video-game staples and tropes, was actually a real world? How would that work? How would people understand the universe around them? What sort of weirdness would the world appear to have from the point of view of someone who recognizes the odd nature of the place? And finally, if left to its own devices, how would this type of world ultimately develop?
8 106Dark Cat under Light cover
The terrible fire brought Amadeus Pride, loneliness, and a State Laboratory cell, as the last specimen of her race. After many experiments on her, there was an incident. A criminal organization kidnapped her for its purposes. Now she is the secret weapon of a criminal organization, one of the best professionals: sneaky spy, stealthy thief, ruthless killer, strategist, and actor. The mistake of others leads to her death …, or not …, or was it more than a mistake? From this moment, her new life begins, in a new world and a new body, or will the past inevitably remind her of itself? About this and many other things, my friends, you will have to find out for yourself. --- The release schedule is three chapters per week, and the average chapter length is 5000 characters. Tags and content warnings are mainly to give me creative freedom later on. It's my first novel ever, and English isn't my native language, so go easy on me, please. Any feedback is more than welcome, of course. I also publish on the Scribblehub.
8 176The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
8 92The Unlucky Third
James is an unlucky third. More of a mistake then a plan. For 12 years, since the day he was born, he has done nothing but remain hidden from anyone and everyone. Only 4 people know that James even exists and those people are his parents and elder brothers. The law of the state has declared James as a taboo, something forbidden and not allowed. When his sanctuary is destroyed, he turns to other things to keep himself occupied when one day he catches a glimpse of something that may not change his life but at least understand him and keep him company. For ever he had thought he was the only one. Maybe he isn’t? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- English is not my first language so please try to go easy on the grammar and the punctuation. 3-4 chapters will be uploaded per week. This will be a somewhat short story. I intent to write story that I can at least complete. I hope you may enjoy my work.
