“Could we skip this?” It asked to no one. “to something that matters.”

[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.

“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?

“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?”

[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.”

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.

P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT: Aeon Genesis
The first project focusing on four protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century Europe.This is the first P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT focusing on 3 (+1) protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century-esque Europe. Each story has its own protagonists (Male or Female Lead), genres (mainly Western Fantasy), and can be read as a standalone. Status: OngoingUpdate(s) per week: 1Words per chapter: 3000 - 6000 *** ‘A human or not; a king or a servant; hope or despair; a hero or a villain.’ Depending on one's perspective and how each story portrays, one will view an individual or a group as evil or virtuous. Because of that, it depends on the reader and listener to believe which one is the truth. More people read and trust multiple (trusted?) sources that either complement or contradict one another. The contradiction becomes the source of debates between those who believe and those who don’t. From that difference in belief, two groups appear: The Majority and The Minority. The majority, having more people, suppress the minorities’ beliefs, claiming theirs, the majorities’, to be the truth. However, the majority are not only composed solely of those who share the same belief but also those who know the truth but afraid to admit it. They have to keep quiet and turn a blind eye for their safety. The majority had to submit to those with power and authority. With the majority under control, those with power and authority can create, manipulate, and/or fabricate truth and lies by force. The reason was for one’s or group’s personal benefits. In the end, there is no such thing as ‘absolute truth’; only sugar-coated lies created by the top. Don’t believe me? It is up to you to decide. Go and read it yourself.
