《Nostalgia | ✔》Moonlight
Advertisement
Oh slowly, drifting off to sleep
I feel moonlight touch my skin
And all over my fragile clothes
Thus painting my arms so thin
Rolling my fingers in my hair
Loosing myself in their scent
Humming those soft melodies
I think about what you meant
Back under the street lamp post
Hidden in the shades and light
When you whispered, my eyes
Were always shining so bright
Oh how you wanted me to stay
Just a little longer than midnight
How you kept holding my hand
Wanting me to stay in your sight
The way you closed your eyes
While you kissed my knuckles
Adorning my skin with beauty
I still can't forget our chuckles
Oh how you valued my presence
And never wished to let me go
For even a single little moment
Holding me close, yeah I know
I wonder where it went wrong
And what shadowed our laugh
Before you slowly faded away
Why? You were my better half!
What took you away from me?
And made you vanish like that?
While I'm crying all by myself
Feeling all shattered and sad..
Closing my swollen eyes in defeat
Oh maybe I wasn't good enough
I let the drowning sleep get to me
Forgetting all my broken stuff
Somewhere in between all this
I smile for you were a lovely sin
And even though you are gone
I feel moonlight touch my skin..

Legend of the Gunslinger Mage
In 2042, the Virtual Reality game Epoch of Liberty (EoL) is a worldwide phenomenon, with a player base of 500 million and an in-game economy comparable to Russia. Mahn Li, the top player of the guild Scourge, was betrayed by his closest friend Fatty Fu - murdered in the real world. The in-game business was tied with the real-world business. And business, as they say, was war. Mahn Li was simply another casualty… … Until he inexplicably woke up in the body of his 22-year-old self - one week before EoL went live. "Is this my second chance?" He asked himself: "What should I do?" "Should I find a job? A real one? Be a good, productive member of society? Live a meaningful life? Forget about the 10 years of my life lost in endless battles in a virtual world?" "F*CK THAT!!!" "I’m gonna wreck all the bastards responsible for my death! And Fatty Fu! Wait until I get my hands on your slimy neck!" Aiding Mahn Li on his quest for vengeance is his knowledge of the future. Using it, he will get the sickest, baddest gears in the game! The most powerful of them all is an artifact that is a little bit out of place in this fantasy-themed game. A gun.
8 554Those That Do Not Yet Exist
These are not full stories. They are tales that have not yet occurred, whose timelines and events are not yet set in stone. The story of a shape-shifting alien, exploring rural Earth. The incident involving an artificial hero. A strange valley of water and a great tree. These are stories that are yet to come. Who knows where they may lead? These are test chapters, if you will. Pilot episodes to determine the reaction people have to them. Have fun!
