《Mundane Musings of a Misunderstood Mind》CHAPTER 17
Advertisement
I'm still a girl, and you are still a boy; nothing's changed. We grew into our bodies, but our minds lost their innocence and sense of wonder long ago. Cynicism, insecurity, trauma, anxiety, jealousy, greed, pain, hurt, envy, and anger sped right into the gaping hole before we could even object to its presence.
Now that we are adults let's shout more, laugh less, stress more, relax less, grab more and give less. Yet, if we could turn this clock around, we could shrug our shoulders, not care about what others think, speak our minds without analyzing the consequences of our actions, and forgive wholeheartedly and not hold onto petty grudges. A simple smile, unabashed love and the conviction that we can make miracles happen. Let's tap into that and gather what we lost because we are still just a girl and a boy.

Double-Blind: A Modern LITRPG
Choosing a college when your family is struggling can be difficult, but it isn’t supposed to be world ending. And the falling meteor is seriously limiting Matt’s options. Now in the aftermath, his home city is locked down by a mysterious dome, corporations are looking to monopolize a wealth of new untapped resources, and people are suddenly developing powers via a system that seems to have borderline sinister intentions. In the chaos, he decides to stick to what he knows: stay out of the spotlight, grind, and survive. Watch as Matt is dragged into a dark LITRPG set in the real world, where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond his wildest dreams. ++++++++++++++++++ There’s a couple big influences here: Solo-Leveling, Squid Game, and Code Geass. If you enjoy LITRPG stories with morally gray characters, high stakes, and smart protagonists who start weak and eventually become powerful in a unique way, you’ll probably find something to like. But be forewarned. It won’t be easy. I'll be writing this fast, so keep in mind there's likely to be typos that we'll correct as we go. Developmental Editing by Lev.

Truth is fractured. What urges a person is the small fragment they carry of it, believing it is whole. My family disowned me, and I - the genius cultivator of a generation - was banished from the Falling Star Sect. Make no mistake. No one but I was to blame for the plight I brought upon myself. After being cast out, there was nowhere left for me to go. I applied for a license from the Guild of Independent Cultivators, but I was rejected every time I tried. It seemed the world had no need for a person like me. I thought it was the end. Until I met Mei. The runaway girl in whom I sought refuge - an escape from the past. She was a crutch that kept me going, but our journey together was one far too short. The girl left behind a legacy, although she'd never intended for it. Her life shaped the course of the world more than any emperor could ever dream of, in ways the immortal could never fathom. In the shadow of her history was I. A boy without a cause. Lost, save for that one vow he swore to himself when he stood at the abyss of his life. This is the story of where that vow has led me, and how it first came to be. It begins the day before I met her. *** - An epic xianxia story with lofty ambitions. - Updates twice a week. - Chapters average out on 2k+ words, sometimes varying in length.

Author's Note: This is a rewrite of my fiction with the original title. Instead of changing my chapters in my other draft, I made a copy with a different beginning and a few new chapters. The beginning will move straight to the fantasy world like most Isekai light novels. As usual, each chapter will go between 500 and 2,000 words. I deleted the other draft since this draft will be my focus. Enjoy and let me know what you think of this new draft. There may also be grammar and spelling errors too. This series is still in development.
