Advertisement
John Smith traveled through a wormhole and encountered cybernetic alien lifeforms in another galaxy.
"Oh John, I think I'm in love with you," said Vitaza, his overnight first contact robotic fling he met at a galactic space station's social club, now cuddling with him in a bed.
The next day, he decided to join a group of space mercenaries that Vitaza had spoken of to fight off giant parasitic wasp-like creatures that threatened the cybernetic aliens' entire solar system.
The battles' went on for weeks.'
While on a much-deserved leave, he lay next to Vitaza on the sand nearby the seaside underneath the warm and gentle binary star system's light on a paradise planet to celebrate their victory against the wasps-like creatures.
"Wake up, Mr. Smith."
"What? Where am I?"
"Your at the hospital, sir," answered a nurse.
"But how did I …"
"Mr. Smith, I'm here with Dr. Jane Simsky, a psychologist."
"Hello, Mr. Smith, this is your twentieth time within two months of being admitted due to work-related accidents," said Dr. Simsky.
"Yes, it seems I'm prone to injuries." John looked away.
"I see in your medical records that you've received neural implants, Mr. Smith."
"Yes, that's correct, last year. And, please call me John."
"Excellent … John. They help to provide a healthier alternative to painkillers or anesthesia, but …"
"But what, Doctor?"
"I'm afraid you might have VIADS."
"What's that?"
"Virtual Immersion Addiction Syndrome."
"Nonsense!"
"Hear me out, John. I know it's costly to subscribe to Virtual Getaways and your workers' comp plan offers them for free when you undergo surgery …"

Dragon Travels
Dragons. Mythical creatures that inspire awe and wonder in cultures all across the world. Wouldn't it be amazing to befriend such majestic beasts and go on an adventure with them? To be a dragon rider and live through a tale of epic proportions? Ryder, who's so obsessed with the idea that he nicknamed himself as such, certainly thinks so. Sadly, he lived in a world where such creatures only exist in fiction, and one where none of his peers or family shared the same passionate interest in dragons like him. Every night, he would fantasize what it would be like to live in a world where they do exist, and one day, his fantasy became reality. Upon landing in a new world, he found himself in the company of cheery and naïve plant dragon who was just as excited as him to be the companion of a dragon rider. After that, they encountered a worldly earth dragon, who followed them under the guise of guiding them while hiding her own dark secrets. Lastly, regarded by many as The Terror of The East, a dragon so powerful and terrifying that it's known as a demigod, lowered his pride in order to escape his thousand-year prison and joined Ryder's merry band. It isn't all fun and games as the Goddess who brought the teenager here has sent him on a mission - to rid the evil forces that had risen in the world and threaten the balance of the realm. Together with his three dragon companions, Ryder traveled across different lands as he found himself involved in the matters of both tragic and entertainingly eccentric individuals. So, if you like How to Train Your Dragon or just dragons in general, isekai adventure stories, and/or a found family-esque story with witty banters and interesting characters, then this is what you're looking for! Note: This is an anthology series, therefore the arcs are not presented in a linear fashion. There will be recurring characters and arcs that continues story threads from previous "chapters", but, for the most part, each arc standalone as a complete story, so you can pick and choose what you want to read. If you watched Star Wars: The Clone Wars cartoon series before, it's basically like that.I'm still relatively new in writing, so I would appreciate it if you'll be kind enough to provide feedback!
