《Rogue (Rogue #1)》Chapter 34
Advertisement
Eniola looked up again, shaking her head and looking through her otherwise delirious eyes. She was home. Home. She slowly got up, eyes gazing around the room quickly, trying to grasp at her memories. She was back in her dining room. It was filled with all their usual furniture and it was full. This must’ve not been a recent memory.
Paradox was in her mind.
Eniola looked around, slowly walking just in case Paradox had another mind trap. She, Kol, and her mom and dad were all sitting around the table. Her parents looked antsy like something was bothering them. Her dad’s fingers were repeatedly drumming onto the table, and her mom was looking down at her food in a half-smile while Eniola and Kol sat there.
Eniola finally recognized this day and realized what was going to happen. Her mom cleared her throat. “Eniola, Kolapo. We have an announcement to make.”
The Eniola and Kol of this simulation both looked up.
“What’s wrong?” Eniola remembered how she was so scared but curious. A baby? Did someone die? Possibly forgiving Olu for doing nothing wrong?
“Nothing’s wrong,” her dad said. “We have talked about this for months, and I have such a great opportunity. I got a job offer in New York. Their top hospital wants to promote me to the head of the cardiac department. They have also offered your mom a position there.”
This was the moment that Eniola stopped eating and froze in her tracks. “We’re moving?”
“Yes,” her mom confirmed. “At the end of the summer.”
“But what about me?” Eniola asked. “I’m going to UCLA.”
Her dad sighed in disappointment. “We want you to apply to NYU so that you can come with us.”
“But the plan was UCLA,” Eniola said, more antsy this time.

“But the plan for the family will be New York,” her dad reiterated. “You did the early application, so NYU is still open for applications. You will apply to their pre-med program.”
“But I want to stay here. Why can’t I just stay?”
“We want you close to us,” her mom said. The Eniola left it at that, watching this go down. Her parents didn’t know about SCOPE yet or what she had here. Maybe she should’ve let go.
Suddenly the world froze, and Eniola felt herself stay cold and still in time. A line of code ran across her vision as she tried to move. She felt it throughout her entire body. The image disappeared and reappeared in a staticky shape of colours.
It felt like she was fading. Like she had no control over her body. Then suddenly her body started moving until something completely fused it with the one in the simulation.
Eniola searched through her vision before seeing her SCOPE avatar flash in front of her. It was now in the same white room, and it seemed like her avatar was now in front of her, like it was a separate entity and not an extension.
It ran for her before pushing her. Eniola felt like she was slipping off some ledge or something before she fell backward. Suddenly the world shifted to the glitches of colours, flashing around her as Eniola held on, her avatar looking back at her, ready to push her down one more time.
Eniola let go.

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.
8 113In the name of blood
Geoffrey Robertson, real name Alexey Barintski, has his secrets, and on top of his adventurous nature also a very positive attitude towards meat. Bloody meat. After years spent with British special forces, he is getting bored, so he is starting to look for something more interesting, something more fun. However, he gets a simple message - they need help at home. Although he has not seen his blood relatives for more than a generation, he returns to his native hills and almost dies… --- A story about werewolves and vampires. Release schedule will be random, but I will try to post at least 2 chapters a month, 2000 words per chapter on average. This is my first attempt at writing, and English is not my native language, so expect a mistake or two, or three. EDIT: the past few months of my life have been hectic and I could not write much. Nonetheless, I have the story already planned out, and will finish it sooner or later.
