《What If Tomorrow Is Too Late?》Caged
Advertisement
Like a lion licking his lips from behind the bars of a cage. It would be a grave mistake to underestimate me. I can't be contained.
Keep an eye on me and don't make
a wrong move. You foolishly think I'm the one on display. But you're sorely mistaken. It's not me, it's you.
The hunger inside me is insatiable and tenacious. For me, it's not about eating. It's the thrill of the chase. I salivate as you watch me stalk my own prey.
It's tragic. You sit idle and watch as I eat. Now, you can only drool while I savor the feast.
The bars that surround me were built by years of envy and jealousy. Too bad you wasted all your time and your energy.
It looks like by you; the bars were perfectly placed. You locked yourself up with your resentment and hate.
I have nothing but kind actions and kind words left to say. Unlike you, I am free and it is you that is caged.

Mycology
Declan was but a teenager when he was invited to Gaia. It wasn't some popular VRMMO like the ones his friend keeps recommending, nor was it a 'game' in the traditional sense. Gaia was the stopgap to Indiri, a living breathing world, the final creation of a dead genius. Invited to this world by Eve, the overseer and an AI light-years greater than any that came before her, Declan was given a choice. To join or not to join? Well, why the hell not? Hello, this is a pretty basic VR story which I started writing out of boredom, don't expect anything too great here, it's a somewhat unique setting but with mostly slice of life comedy shenanigans with no real 'plot' since I can't reliably include stakes in a world where respawning is a thing. I'll try to upload at least once every other week but real life stuff may get in the way occasionally. **WARNING** Protagonist comes with an inbuilt wizard hat. Also, any mentions of chapter titles shall be met with falling rocks TPK. **ACTUAL WARNING** Story may or may not read like the fever dream of an eclectic sasquatch with internet connection. Do be warned, that this story has extremely slow pacing by design. Join the Discord!! https://discord.gg/p2gxqs4 Laugh at my empty Patreon!!
8 289Damsel of Distress
Victoria Bright is a Wife. No, she isn't married. "Wife" is the Class the system gave her. She has to fight Demons to get stronger? Then she will become the strongest Wife of all! She can only learn Fashion and Household Skills? No one said you can't fight in High-heels! The gods made her best friend a Hero? First, she has to beat some sense into him for betraying his own beliefs. Accompany her as she survives in a dangerous world, a world that has secrets even the gods don't know about. __________________________________________ Warning!!The second half of "The Wave 07: The System" and the first half of "The Wave 08: Heroes and Knights" contain a lot of exposition that most other stories would consider "secrets of the world" that those stories would uncover over the course of a long time. There are two reasons this is revealed so early and directly. One: Not revealing that information quickly and not asking questions about it would be completely OoC for the characters involved in that scene. Two: It's information you, the reader, need to know before the main story can really get started. Namely, the "secrets not even the gods know about".
8 331World Servers - Dawn
The year is 2143, and much of the world’s population has been digitized for decades. Different servers are configured for different purposes. Some servers are pure gaming worlds. Others are offshoots of fringe political experimentation or regimes. Still others are based around ethnic or nationalist sentiment. Some replicate past times or past eras. And still others have been designed as totally imaginary locations created out of the dreams of programmers and the Artificial Intelligences that have been used to build and drive them. The gaming guild I Like Big Booty is a loosely affiliated group of friends and avid players. Theirs is an international guild which spans multiple servers, mostly running raids, ganking other players in PVP, and generally trying to build up the funds to purchase their own home world server. On one of the most populous servers – designed to resemble 20th century earth – a small raid team running a boring and routine run in Washington DC, comes across something that might change the fate of Virtual Reality across the solar system. Note: Per request, the title has been changed, though I might change it again when if I come up with something a little better.
8 98Dragon Ascension
Petty Officer First Class Justin Snow was on a mission to escort a high ranking civilian back to his home in Afghanistan. It was a simple mission, there wasn't even supposed to be any combat, but this mission would take away his life and give birth to a new one. God was deeply satisfied with the actions Justin took throughout his life, especially with the final bit of jumping on a grenade to save his squad. The phrase ""God loves the Troops!"" really wasn't exaggerated, actually it was an understatement! Having supreme power comes loneliness, and when one is lonely they look for a companion, God has chosen to watch over Justin in the new life he gave him in a new world filled with magic and adventure! Want to be like God? Then just watch as Justin explores his new world and ascends into Godhood as a dragon! In this world he will experience love, joy, anger, hatred and much much more!(This story has been dropped, you are welcome to read the first few chapters I have up, but there will not be any continuation.)
