[System Status: Operative]
[External Connection Communication System: Error]
[Error Type: Unknown]
“Could we skip this?” It asked to no one. “to something that matters.”
[Neuronal Nexus Status: Failed]
[Neuronal Nexus ERROR: Active]
“This should mean that I am actually human, right?” It asked to itself. “Neurons are living species shit. Therefore I exist. Who said it? I think I got it wrong. Socrates? Plato? I cannot remember and this makes me hungry… ehmm, angry, angry not hungry.”
[Neuronal Symbiosis Check: Success]
“I should be at least alive, this entry confirms it.” It asked because it was its only action available.
[Activating World Simulation 4D Time-Estructural Axis: ERROR]
[Activating World Simulation Archano-Crystal Index: Available]
[Connecting Archano-Crystal Index World Simulation... ERROR]
“What was that simulation thing?” It asked once again, revising the log. “4D Time-Estructural Axis? Archano-Crystal Index? What does this mean? The first sounds like some sci-fi stuff and the second fantasy, but actually not. It is not Arcano, so no magical bullshittery, it says Archano-Crystal, so it must be a name, isn’t it?
[User Count: 1]
“This is when I was introduced forcefully into… this” Said It, looking around it. “So my name is actually It or you are toying with me like The Voice? Not the TV show, the spanish voice. “It clarified. And It thought about stopping questions once again. “I did not, or did I?”

[WOLRSD SYMULATION HAS BEGUN]
[As expected...]
“Okay this is the really weird part. Previously the log resembled a somewhat real log. But then this commentary appeared ‘A hero’s welcome I see’ and ‘As expected’. I think I skip it but there was also a ‘Ah yes, this was expected’ addition.” It remembered, searching for clues. It felt a bit betray, this terminal didn’t help It search the exit, only a log of what happened. Someone could say that this metadiegesis wasn’t the work for a intern narrator, but It still was angry, and not hungry. “Yeah, thank you for reminding me my errors… NOW PERISH.

Wait no, a voice said to It. DON’T DO IT.
[Narrator Mode Off]
“I don’t know why I activated in the first place.” I monologued myself. “Ah yes, now I remember. To stop this fucking mologue! I really hate this crappy situation, this crappy world and my crappy life. Even though I don’t fucking remember nothing!”
How the narrator mentioned, maybe I need some linguistic tools to reorganize what happened. So… Flashback! I shall summon you!
As I heard the voice I just “FUUUUUCK!” cried. This is going to be a long day.
I stand up. Somehow, I was now a bodiless being. Yay! Now I am no longer human. Did I say that I don’t know what is happening? Yes, I did. And this paragraph now contains two Jojo references. What’s a Jojo reference? I don’t know. I sighed, I may have to get used to this.
Firstly, I think I just time travelled. Secondly, I am in the aether, or at least a very white dimension. ‘Cause I ain’t rememberin’ anyting this ain’t heaven. Well let’s discard fact one. I does not make sense, this might be a prerecorded message every time I… change level? Not so wild of a theory. Or at least wilder than time travelling. Well… the simulation could have rewinded, but no me, so it actually would time travel.
The instant I stop thinking and then existing I saw it. A terminal. A terminal? How does it looks? The way it looks? How does it taste? I don’t know. It is tasty? Maybe? Fucking brain. Think straight for once.
A blue screen was levitating in the middle of… well… white. I approached the screen. No sudden moves, nothing. I did not want to chase a two dimensional object being myself a incorporeal being inside a hollow realm.

[Would you like to activate Narrator Mode?]
A voice, not a spanish human one, but an artificial anthropomorphic english voice spoke.
“OH HELL YES! GIVE IT TO ME BABY”
[Narrator Mode On]
It cried needlessly in the void, noticing its stupidity since nobody would listen to him. A stupid being with stupid reasons inside a realm of nothing but its stupidity.
“Oh…” It sighed. “I am SO regretting this.”

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

The Triumphs and Tribulations of Kai Jameson
Kai Jameson is an average everyday young man. He still lives at home with his parents after having just graduated from college. He loves playing video games and his job at the local Buy More is tolerable. Of course that all changes the moment the system arrives and the Earth is connected to the Nexus. Turns out Kai was trapped in time for about eighteen months while the people already here got a headstart on him. He lucks into being rescued by some people from a town called Donnyton and learns that if he wants to survive in this New Earth he'll have to work harder than ever before. The rewards are worth it. This is Kai's story, the moments of his triumphs, and the moments when he feels that things couldn't possibly be worse. Thanks to puddles4263 and his story The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound for the inspiration on the world this is set in. If you have never read that I highly recommend it, and if you have read it and enjoyed that story then I hope you'll enjoy mine as well. This is the first story I'm ever putting out for public consumption so reader beware on that. Any constructive criticism is always appreciated, simply leaving a half star review tells me that you're a moron who doesn't know how to use words. I'm constantly trying to improve my writing and feedback and criticism on what works and what doesn't is the only way to do that at the point I feel I am at. Last, I just marked all the content warnings because you never know where a story will take you and I don't want to exclude anything (though there will never be a harem). I am going to release 1-2 chapters per week on Fridays. Thanks and enjoy.

Little Death

But when a mutual mistake brings down punishment upon them, forcing them to separate, each loses the only thing that matters--their lover, partner, and soul mate. Tabitha, determined to placate the entities who control her fate, takes to the streets of New York City to find a long-lost relic she hopes will win their favor; by night, she pursues the dreamers who welcome her into their beds and, sometimes, their wallets. Sam, despondent and struggling, escapes deeper and deeper into a relationship with a human woman enchanted with him--and one that could risk all he has left.
