It blinked again. Remembering time was over, as was living time.
“What h-happened?”It said weakly. And then it saw…
Its right arm, no longer attached to its body was being held by the archangel, dripping blood, disfigured. Its legs severed from the main body, emaciated, partly incinerated, bones visible to it, while being soaked in its blood lake created by blood loss. It still felt its left arm, so it moved its neck to the left, hearing a loud crack, then watching what was left of the arm. Half of its forearm had fallen like a sticker, still tied by a muscle. Its hand had vanished from existence, probably incinerated as well. It wanted to puke, but its body wouldn’t respond anymore.
The eight-winged angel stared at it, like it was rejoicing in its suffering. More reasons to just die. But then it noticed that the angel wasn’t standing still, its halo was changing colors; blue, green, golden, purple, white, black. The glitching… it thought. The glitched world was stopping the archangel, but in the end nothing mattered. It was almost dead, if it wasn’t already. It just wished to finally die, be consumed by the glitching, restart again. Like a vanishing thought, and idea, and spark of movement happened, not by the angel but it. Its left arm felt itchy, alive.
It blinked again. It saw. It felt. “Oh, I see.” It said even weaker than last time.
Its hand, no, its forearm was helding the glitching. It wasn’t being devoured by this world, but coexisted with it. Then it shoot the glitching to the archangel. A beam of glitchiness struck the archangel, and obliterated it, with it as well.

Master of the Loop
Life in a fantastical world didn’t add up to everything Sylas thought it would be. There were no pretty ladies goading him, there were no overpowered items and abilities tossed his way, and there was no calm and peace. Instead, he was tossed directly into a hellhole some few hours before it was to be invaded. That was it, he figured. His fantasy adventure in another world would be a short-lived one. He’d die and that would be it. Except... You have died. A ‘Save Point’ discovered. Loading… You will be returned to the ‘Initial Save’ point.

The Sun's Remnant
Two people are transported to a world with magic, but it is no Wonderland. When the god of light died, he decided to take the world with him. At least, that’s what many believe in the Kingdom of Rhine, a once vast kingdom of which only a small corner remains — and even that is threatened. On one side, by the Twisted Forest, a corruption spreading from the deathplace of the gods that has already swallowed up most of Rhine. On the other, by the resurgent Kagrathan Empire, resurrected by the infallible God-Emperor Karlatz. A holy order of knights carry out their mission despite the death of their god. A band of talented misfits prepare for a heist out of their league — by stealing. Mages hunt for secrets even as the world ends. A ruler does what must be done to save the living, no matter the cost. Into this world of magic and murder, two adrift souls are inexplicably dragged: a mother estranged from her young daughter due to her own mistakes, and a young man with a love of fantasy who has gradually drifted away from his friends and family. As they each struggle to find their place in this world, they must also answer the question: do they want one?***Content Warning: I've drafted about 100,000 words (most of the first volume), and there is no sexual content so far, though I may add it in the future. There is occasionally gore and traumatising content as the story demands. I commit to keeping all of the above non-voyeuristic. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
