..to the 194th chapter of this book because how can you write an introduction without knowing what you've got in store to be introduced?
But now I know so I'm here.

'Nostalgia' is a journey that I've taken deep into the halls of my soul for three years, a lapse in the discernment of reality that caused me to dive into the streets of my heart and pull out all the longings that ever resided in there.
To call it merely a collection of poems would be an injustice for it's more of a journal holding the record of all the feelings, thoughts, events and songs tinting my life for the past three years which is why I have a strong emotional connection with my readers.
The beginning constitutes of rhyming poems because I found it easy to write two years ago. Or maybe for no reason at all? However, towards the middle, I started writing free verse and used lowercase alphabets for such poems. But I'd call it a kaleidoscope of both. If you're curious, free verse along with its inspiration can be found in my poem called 'Metaphors' and afterwards.
I aimed at writing a poetic introduction but went against it for, in a book of 198 poems, some prose could do, no? ^-^

~ to souls dispersed over the wind as scattered memories
~ to eyes that have cried tears in the embrace of darkness
~ to voices lost in the awe of silence
~ to sighs that failed to escape the restraints of sanity
~ to angels that came and stayed while everyone left
~ to caress of insanity that never let go of me
~ to places i've been to and never been to
~ to nostalgia that visited me in a hundred and more ways
~ to someone i loved and lost

Thank you to everyone who read my book and commented on it. I had to make collages to add as many comments I could but there are hundreds of them and I cannot include all of them even if I want to. I know, I don't get to reply to all of them but I want you to know that I've read your words and I appreciate each one. You are the reason I made it till here. Thank you! ^-^

Warden of Success - A LitRPG
In the future of Earth humans are no longer the dominant species. Monsters, vampires, elves and all manners of otherworldly threats now threaten the planet and its people. And for one such as Camille, there was nothing she could do. A failed martial artist, Camille swallowed her pride and dreams, all the while sinking into the world of video games. Until she died. Reawakening with newfound power in her very own bed, there's no doubting that she's an oddity. And as the only individual in the world with the body of a video game character, she's ecstatic. No longer will she just be content with playing games in her dark room, taking over fantasy worlds as a great heroine. Rather, she'll do something better. And that'll be to take over the real one instead. Whether it be mages, demons or other supernatural entities that stand in her way, it doesn't matter. Camille may be a level one at first, but dammit if she wasn't going to try to reach one hundred. This is not a crunchy LitRPG and gradually becomes more of a character driven story that just happens to have a main character with LitRPG abilities. There will be a variety of powers/abilities that are explored later in the setting involving magic systems and other technological advancements. The first 10 chapters were written with satirical undertones, but begin to develop more into its own entity after that.

[Participant in the Royalroad writathon challenge].The content warnings are more for minor things, minor enough that a fourth-or maybe third grader could read.A lot of chapters, particularly in the first 3 books, are unedited, and I'll try to get more edited soon.Covers credit to Asviloka.NOTE: I only publish this on Royalroad.com, and if you read it somewhere else, it is pirated and you suck.
