A Bag of Happiness
It was a "very typical" morning here in Warsaw. The sun shines brightly, the birds sing as they fly along the blue firmament, and the leaves fall numerously like fall would end soon. I ocassionally stroll around the park with my friends. I normally want to be alone and be myself...
And I'll show you what a normal day for me really is...
Monday morning, the sky is very cloudy, the wind blows rapidly towards the west, how low temperature it is.
"Winter's coming," I said
"It's always winter"
It was very cold, but I didn't mind it. The atmosphere is very humid, and all I hear are people's murmur and car noises.
"Very peaceful," I said
"Very peaceful indeed"
I looked out in the window and saw that many cars were going to the left. Curiously, I took my bag and followed to where the cars were going. It took me merely 15 minutes and 15 left turns to get there. To my eyes I see the carnival and the park at its left. The carnival looks very amusing, red and yellow, lots of fun, and tons of happy people.
", your carnival is nothing compared to mine."
I walked to the park without making any emotion. There were a couple of chairs and still many people stroll around these places. I sat down to look around and see what people typically do in the park. Time went by when I saw a familiar face walking towards me.
"Hey Nirvana, are you alright?," said Joy
"..."
"Is there a problem?," she asked
I smiled at her histerically, and I saw annoyance on her face as joy walks away. I looked to the left and saw nothing, while on the right were friends having fun and some people walking around. I can hear many people talking about how normal I am. I ignored them and bowed down my head.

I couldn't bear the temperature anymore, so I opened my bag to look for something I could use. I saw chocolates, a syringe, my cellphone, and a knife.
"Oh! My bag is full of happiness. Nothing unusual." I said.
The temperature is getting hotter and the sky is becoming brighter.
"Very normal," I grinned and walked home.
"Going left will never turn right"

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.
8 101The Shadow Rogue
Since ages past, the kingdoms of [Cuntersia] and [Wankeryl] have been locked in a stalemate of unending war. Recently, they have been in a conflict for [Kokaine], a resource that can only be found between the borders of the two countries. Revered for its ability to significantly raise the magical and physical potential of anyone who uses it, neither kingdom could afford to yield the vast fields of [Kokaine] to the other. As the two superpowers clash, a single hero emerges, bestowed with overwhelming combat ability and strength. Possessing the finesse to turn the tide of the war either way, which side would he choose? Or will he forge his own path of solitary conquest and get high by sniffing [Kokaine]? NOTE: This story takes place in a medieval fantasy setting with swords and magic. There are Elves, Beastkin, Orcs, and monsters as well. There will be a lot of lame jokes and names, please don't be offended. And remember to leave a review! This is just a joke novel, although it gets a bit more serious after the first few chapters. Credits to user Tanaka Tomoyuki for suggesting me the synopsis.
8 126Liber Nominum Universalia
In this world there are things and beings who roam freely in the corners of our visions and places where the light of the sun and moon do not reach. There are things that raindrops have never touched, lands where humans may rarely set foot. And there are those whose names have been forgotten. Maeno Ayumu wanted to be one of the majority who lived without the knowledge of such things. But one summer, a pocketbook and a black cat opened the doors to the Other Side- doors he could no longer keep locked. And thus begins his journey towards learning forgotten names and forging unlikely bonds, so that those who live in darkness may never fade forgotten. Cover picture taken by Julissa Helmuth
8 73Valkyries and Blade Dancers
It has been a millennium since the dawn of the war between the aradama and the Toji and there are absolutely no signs of the conflict ending. This status quo had more or less remained the same throughout the centuries; the aradama had failed to destroy humanity while the Toji had failed to eradicate the aradama. However, this would all change during the 123rd National Swordsmanship Tournament. One after the other, multiple calamitous events rocked the island nation of Japan to its core...
