《Building a World From the Ground Up》The Beginning

It was dark. Not dark as in bad dark, but sleepy dark. It makes me want to sleep. That’s a good idea. I’ll sleep.
I just woke up. Something feels weird. My body is itchy. What’s happening? How do I see it? I can’t move. How do I move? I think I know. I’ll will myself there. That's what my body says to do. What is my body though? What does it taste like? Look like? Feel like? How do I see myself? How do I move myself?
I’ll just will myself. I can do it. Imagine myself next to the itch. Focus… focus… focus… I’m next to the itch. I turn around. Wait, I can turn? I could’ve just turned… Anyways, I should check the itch out. Oh, a little green thing. How cute. Can I see what it needs? I want to help it survive.

Wow. That’s a lot of information. It’s really cool. I feel the itch going away. Does the itch only happen when something new comes? I wonder if I can change myself. I am a planet, after all. Wait, how did I know that? Oh, an unlock after getting my first inhabitant. I wonder if I can actually influence myself? I want something besides this tree.
It was kinda cool at first, but now sitting around is boring. I’ve been sitting around for a really long time. Wait! I feel itchy again. If I am correct, life needs something to eat. I’ll go to the iron tree again.
Whoa! That’s a lot of trees! It’s like a forest here! And what’s that? It’s like an egg! Nice and silver. So, what is it?

8 149Secret Books of Seth
Updates Weekly I’ve always been the boy that does everything right. As the future leader of the Sethian Saints, I’ve devoted my life to “redeeming” as many of the Damned (you’d call them vampires, I suppose) as I possibly can. But on the very first mission with my new partner (who I’ve had a crush on since we were kids. Don’t ask.) things get complicated. What should be a simple case quickly reveals layers of conspiracy I could never have imagined. Everything I thought was solid truth begins unraveling beneath a web of lies and secrets. After a lifetime of faith, for the first time I’m starting to wonder… Maybe I’m not that boy, after all.
8 133The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is an American children's novel written by author L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W. W. Denslow, originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900. It has since been reprinted on numerous occasions, most often under the title The Wizard of Oz, which is the title of the popular 1902 Broadway musical as well as the iconic 1939 musical film adaptation. The story chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a cyclone. The novel is one of the best-known stories in American literature and has been widely translated. Its groundbreaking success and the success of the Broadway musical adapted from the novel led Baum to write thirteen additional Oz books that serve as official sequels to the first story.
8 98A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.

An ancient hunchback named Finnel is the principal of a school where students’ special abilities might be called magical, supernatural powers. Or, maybe those students’ heightened attributes are more like honed talents any ordinary person could discover and dedicate to developing. Either way, at Finnel's school, even the most otherworldly of traits always finds its source in something REAL . . . in actual human capacities, like intuition, empathy, awareness, strength... REAL is a series of ongoing tales, each centered around an individual student at Finnel's school. Framing slice-of-life authenticity with cool powers and uplifting humor, REAL maintains a light, fun tone while never shying away from digging down deep into weighty themes like identity, connection, and meaning.
