he reminds me of atlas
world resting on his shoulders
waiting for the day his knees will crush
under the weight of his guilt
he whispers his apologies like a hymn
there's no love in staying with him
for he is burdened with the sky you cannot hold
he reminds me of hades
lurking in the shadows
pressing his pomegranate seeds in his palms
waiting for the day
his persephone arrives
he whispers his apologies like a hymn
there's no love in keeping her there
for she was born to bring out the spring
he reminds me of apollo
blinded in his love
drowning in his sorrows
he whispers his apologies like a hymn
there's no love in bringing him back
for hyacinthus is dead

Journey Into The Abyss: A Progression Fantasy
Sagil Yuudai's life was a living hell. Whether it was grinding bottom-tier quests and never ranking up or being belittled by those around him, it was far from easy. So, when his Uncle-Figure invited him to escape from that cycle, he was never going to say no. Especially when that escape came with the quest of saving the world from the abyss. There's just one problem. They're not even in the world they're supposed to save anymore. *** I'll try to post daily during the writathon. I've really been enjoying writing recently so hopefully I can make it work. Oh, any hopefully you guys like it! If you like stuff like mushoku tensei you should like this as well!

8 122Bone Dungeon: Book 1 in the Elemental Dungeon Series
Ryan doesn't remember much about his life before becoming a dungeon core. Only that he had a bit of a disagreement with the church -- something to do with a beheading? Now reborn, Ryan begins to arm his darkness dungeon with devious traps, bestial zombies and ill-named skeletal creations, without doing anything too evil. Well, mostly. Some adventurers just deserve a stalactite to the head. But Ryan quickly learns being a darkness dungeon isn't all loot and bone puns. With a necromancer on the rise and the Adventurer's Guild watching his every move, he must prove that not all darkness dungeons are malevolent... even if they do have a few skeletons in their caverns. Sadly, all of these issues keep distracting him from his own guilty pleasure, skeletal fight club. But don't tell his fairy about that. **** I have recieved permission from the publisher to share the first 8 chatpers of the story, as a sample (I am the author of this book) **** If you like what you've read, feel free to hop over to Amazon and check out the full story!

Building a huge city in another world! Shane Blackwood is a young man from a normal family - that is until he dies in a tragic accident and is reincarnated into a new world; complete with an overpowered skill called the King's Eye that allows him to see the unseen.

Seizing upon the chance to make their own place to call home, Shane and his new friends must establish a powerful city state on a continent in turmoil.

It has been eighteen years since the Goron Empire invaded earth, enslaving all of humanity—or whatever is left of it. Ethan wants to change the fate of humans from inside the system. Della wants to change the fate of humans from outside the system. Two inseparable siblings, and two separate paths. Three days after Ethan’s and Della’s father is forcibly banished, they separate to go on their own journeys. Will they meet again, despite following completely different paths? And if they do, will they be friends or foes? 1) It's a dual MC novel -- there are always 2 PoVs in every chapter (Ethan and Della). 1k~2k words for each PoV.2) It's soft sci-fi. I will explain world-building in the best way that I can, but it's not necessarily explainable by physics.
