"Okay ka lang ba?"
Nilamon ko ang gusto kong sabihin.
Paano ba kita matutulungan, gusto kitang tulungan pero parang pumipigil sa akin. Umiiyak ka di ko alam ang dahilan. Tanging magagawa ko lang ay tumingin.
'GUSTO MO SIYANG TULUNGAN DIBA?'
Oo
'BAKIT AYAW MO?'
Napatingin ako sa batang umiiyak sa salamin
Nag-iisa siya iyak, iyak, iyak Yun lang ata kaya niya
Tinatawag niya ang pangalan ng taong alam niyang hindi na darating
Naawa ako sa kaniya gusto ko rin siyang tulungan ngunit
'KAILANGAN NIYANG MATUTONG MAGPUNAS NG SARILI NIYANG LUHA' Pero ang taong iyon di katulad ng batang nakikita ko
May hawak siyang matalas na bagay Dugo, dugo dumadaloy ang dugo sa mata niya
Wala na atang luhang mailabas Gusto kong punasan luha niya
Pero baka lumalala lang ang pag tagas ng dugo
Paano ko ba siya tutulungan?
'KAHIT AKO DI KO ALAM EH' Kung gayon parehas lang tayong manonood
Ayaw niya ng yakap baka lalo siyang umiyak Gusto niyang mag isa ngunit ayaw niyang maging mag isa
Andami niyang problema
Mapalabas o loob ng bahay
'ANLAKAS NG LOOB NIYANG NGUMITI DIBA?'
Oo
'BAKIT SIYA NAGPAPANGGAP, ANONG PINAGKAIBA NIYA SA MGA PLASTIK NA TAO?' Hayaan mo siya baka ayaw niyang may nag-aalala para sa kaniya
Paano ko maipapakita na may nag-aalala sa kaniya? Paano, paano, paano Paano ko matatanggal ang tali sa leeg niya? Bakit niya pinipigilang umiyak?
'MAHINA DAW ANG UMIIYAK' Huh?
'GANUN DIN NAMAN PARA SA IYO DIBA, TIGNAN MO NGAYON DI KA NA LUMULUHA' Oo, pinigilan ko ang luha ko para maging malakas pero iba siya sa akin
'NALAGPASAN MO NA IYAN DIBA?' Oo, dahil kaunti lang problema ko at iba pa rin siya
'HAWAK MO NA ANG SAGOT BAKIT MO AKO TINATANONG'
'ANONG TINUTUNGANGA MO DIYAN PUMUNTA KA NA SA KANIYA'
Takbo, takbo hanggang hingalin Takbo, takbo hanggang di na huminga
Pagkarating ko sa kaniya Di na pala ako kailangan

The Chimera's Dungeon
Reborn in a fantasy world as a Dungeon Core. This story follows the protagonist as finds himself thrown into a new word. A world filled with magic and monsters. Now, normally, this would fill our protagonist with a lot of excitement and, admittedly, a little bit of fear - if it weren't for that fact that he is one of the monsters. A dungeon core, harbingers of death and fortune. And so, his current circumstances instead fill him with a lot of fear and maybe just a little bit of excitement. Join the adventure to watch that fear fade away as he realises just how limitless the power at his ‘fingertips’ is. The power of creation and destruction. Of life and death. Additional Tag(s): OP Main Character - The MC is definitely stronger than other Dungeons of the same age, however, he is by no means the strongest in the world. Yet.
8 231Space Age
Three years after the release of Royal Road, a up and coming company in America creates it's own Virtual Reality game, Space Age! Set on a multitude of futuristic planets it boasts the largest open world that can be provided. Come along with a group of dynamic Adventures aiming to be the best in the galaxy as they run from a multitude of stranger pursuers.
8 172The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
8 92Tangent Villainy
We all know the cycle, good beats evil, people will get reincarnated into another world, only good guys get another chance. But what if someone who didn't have the best track record got reincarnated into another world? And they totally screwed up. And now the heroes are knocking at their castle door. Maybe they'll get another, another shot.
8 151The Adventure and Battle Seeker
Eric Wallace arrives in a world that witches, knights and monsters exist. Eric will fight with powerful enemies to create a safe haven for witches. Follow him as he explores the secret about the power of the witch. First time I am writing a novel so please point my mistakes if you want and help me improve the story. Also English is not my primary language so you might find spell or grammar mistakes. The cover is not mine.
