Prelude - Purgatory…
A conglomerate of memories floats beyond time and space muttering to itself. “Oh no what just happened! Wait, where am I? Am I dreaming?” but the words fall silent. It tries to move, to speak, but it cannot. Its very being is nonexistent in this place. No sight, taste, touch, smell, or sound can be conceived by it. To it there is no light or dark, no white or black, not even a form of background. It is as if those concepts never existed. Not a single sense exists, not even the sense of time. For only its mind and soul remain of its previous body. It is stuck alone with nothing but degrading thoughts.
“The last thing I remember is… I don’t know.”
Unable to even hold a thought the entity continues.
“What is my name again? Tom? Susan? Ice-cream? Wait Ice-cream isn’t a name… is it? Ice-cream is good right? No it’s bad! Bad for you or bad tasting?”
Unbeknownst to the lifeless existence of swirling thoughts and emotions a separate being watches it from another world. This being ponders about the dead human that has formed into a conglomerate of memories inside purgatory. “Another earthling has died… Hmmm maybe... just maybe this one will work. Either way I will force it upon him.”
“No I think ice cream dumped me once and that’s why it’s bad… Yeah that sounds right! No no no that’s not what I’m supposed to be thinking about! I need to wake up from this dream to go do that thing I’m late for!”
The decades pass by, or do only a few seconds pass? To this grouping of thoughts and fading memories it does not matter. When the memories begin to finally fade into oblivion and dissolve into nothingness like the world around it something or someone rips it from this place to put it in a new world.

….
The fading set of memories is unleashed into a new body and a new world. “Oh wait I can see darkness again! And some type of weight, where am I? Actually this doesn’t feel right; it doesn’t even feel human… What am I?”
For now this entity will remain clueless of its past its future, but slowly both sides will reveal themselves.

ICOMO ODYSSEY
Jonathan Vélo never expected to be famous. Not for riding his bike all the way around the continent of Icomo. Every adult knows his story, and children learn about him at school. This, however, is the first and only biography written about that great man with foreigners in mind. We, his biographers, imagine they will be immensely grateful. Of course, readers will find the people of Icomo an unusual sort for glorifying a young man who did nothing more than quit his job and ride his bike from town to town, city to city… But in an age of robots and computers, when little escapes the notice of the historian, there is a quiet epic to be told. It is the epic of cozy nights in a tent below the stars, of warm wind and ocean waves. It is also the epic of missing old friends in faraway places, and that feeling of needing to make life mean something. *** ‘ICOMO ODYSSEY’ is a nostalgic slice-of-life adventure about a utopian sci-fi land. No clever villains or epic fights here. Just cozy pleasures, charming towns and villages, interesting cultures, and the people who live in them… This story will update bi-weekly on Friday and Saturday. https://www.scribblehub.com/series/467210/icomo-odyssey/
8 134World Egg
Thaddius returns to find the Carnival in shambles. Samphire is missing and has given him instructions to take all those who remain into hiding. Pursued by the Automatrons of Bismuth and sent to who knows where by the God of Mischief. Tad must gather his friends and find safety. They head into the wilderness to make a new home they can defend. This Arc is the second in the Thaddius Rockgrip chronicles. ------- In this book, the people become aware of the system. The system isn't a game. It's the rules for the universal operating system that all things work inside. Note: You do not need to read the first book in the series to read this book. Book Type: I'm uncertain how to define this, somewhere between The Matrix and litrpg and a progression world builder. Writathon: It is over. THANKS! It is a rough draft. Thank you for reading and commenting. Book Cover Credits: Cover art: Mary Evans Credit for the human character goes to Josh P.

8 159Slave 53: The Phoenix
Azgarth is a violent Warlord from a planet where everyone feared him, a man that never lost a battle whether it be from his enemies surrendering or dying. After entering a wormhole, this once infamous man had his memory completely wiped. He was enslaved under the name 53. The great comet arrived one day and gave 53 an extremely rare animal aspect, the Phoenix. Having a rare animal aspect puts people on the fast track to power in this world. Will 53 show the same brutality as his former self? Author: So there will probably be a lot of changes when I start hashing out the whole classes and what not. I'm not planning on this to have statuses or anything like that, but when people 'lvl up' is probably going to be something like ascending 1, 2, 3, etc. With each ascension they are many times stronger, for example, someone who hasn't ascend at all would be at 0, but someone with a 1 would be about 5x stronger than someone who is 0 and so on. It would take a long time to reach each one. With the red colored marks which represents fire, I have a couple ideas with what I want to do, in a way a battle royale, as this continent they are on isn't very large, but all four elements are on it (or more, I might add light, dark, and some others) but all the humans have red, while a different alien race has blue (water), brown (earth), and grey (Air). The color of the mark they have influences how they feel about each other, a example of that would be if a red saw a brown, then they would naturally feel a disgust about each other, and if they killed someone from a different color they would gain way more life essence which is needed to ascend than they would killing someone from their same color. The last thing, I'm not too sure about the main character yet, as I like the whole idea of a memory wipe, I almost think it'd be more entertaining to have the guy slowly regain all his memory, then just becoming his normal self again. If that's the case I'll have to change the title of book. The original idea was this guy would keep the name 53, and his prior self named Azgarth is sharing his body, as in he can talk to him and give him advice on things since he doesn't want him to die since he is sorta like a split personality sharing the same body. Looking at it now, idk if I want this guy to be named 53 forever. Warning: A lot of dark content in the book, especially in the flashbacks.
8 77Obstinate Han
A power progression fantasy with a main character who trains constantly but who lacks purpose, direction, and motivation. The world he lives in, however, is not a peaceful one. As obstinate as Han can be, with all of humanity edging slowly towards annihilation, will he truly be able to avoid becoming entangled in the affairs of the deities fighting over his new universe? This story is a slow burn rather than a fast paced action/adventure, and is centered around the perspective of a main character who struggles with depression, apathy, anhedonia, and asociality. This world was doomed well before he arrived, and he knows it. Rather than following the traditional hero model, he just wants to train for its own sake, and to scrape out occasional moments of happiness in a ruined and dying world.
