Quick poll i just want to know what you guys think, it has no importance to the story i just want to know.
=============================================================
Grimm PoV:
Passing through the door I feel the bizarre shift in perspective from standing vertically to waking up from a downed position.
The first sensation of waking up was the pain I felt, seems my head broke my fall and the fall in turn broke my head. The red carpet of the old library is the first thing is see as I open my heavy eyes. The light from the chandeliers overhead make it hard to see ,as my eyes strain to adjust the newfound stimulus.
I feel hands holding me and voices I can’t quite make out. The silhouettes of two people are all I can see in my groggy state. The long red strands of hair on my head constantly brush up against my eyes making it even more difficult to make out the faces of the people in front of me. My ears ring with noise further preventing me from discerning the identity of the two people in front of me.
I shake my head in an attempt to bring myself out of it and begin to organize my jumbled thoughts, as I begin to piece together the fragment shards of my memory , a voice rings in my head. One I can understand.
???: Grimm?
A familiar voice , Maraysa Umbrezha.
Grimm: Maraysa?
Maraysa: Where, is this Grimm ? It doesn't look like the dream.
Grimm: St Agatha's orphanage, we're in the library.
Maraysa: Orphange?
"Grimm!"
"y-yes?", I manage after being pulled from my thoughts from the two voices saying my name. My eyes focus and the blurry figures I once saw begin to resemble the faces of Sister Kate and Miss Samantha. I don’t know how much time has passed but their worried faces makes it clear it was lengthy enough to cause alarm.

"Are, you hurt?", "are you okay?" , "can you stand?" "what happened."
Under the barrage of questions being fired at me , if find it difficult to form a response.
"I'm okay, I just felt a bit weak", was the best excuse I could come up. It was a rather poor attempt, even I felt it was. Their faces showed their doubts and I feel Miss Samantha pull me up and onto my feet. Her arms still hang around my waist to steady me as I get my bearings.
"Maybe you should get some rest Grimm, you don't look well at all." I hear sister Kate say.
I'd like to say I am fine to re-assure them, but from the worry evident on their faces I feel that it wouldn’t help my case at all. I look at the large clock and see it is well into the evening.
"Let's get you to your room Grimm", sister Kate says as she take my hand in hers.
"But what about my books?", I ask as I stare at the pile of books that rest on the nearby desk and the books that lay strewn about during my fall.
To answer my questions Miss Samantha releases me and begins to carry my stack of books, Sister Kate goes to get her stack too. Both refuse my attempts to help.
""Let's go Grimm""
Each of them carry a stack in one hand with a free hand outstretched toward me. The two of them eye each other tensely, not breaking eye contact. I don’t quite understand, but they don’t seem to like each other much. As far as I know, this should be the first time they've met…
The silence seems to stretch as the two of them stay unmoving. I take both their hands and ask softly trying to break the silence and ease the tension.

"Shall we go?"
=============================================
the way back was a little better than I thought. Sister Kate and Miss Samantha seem to be talking , but they still don’t get along too well. It was getting late, Miss Samantha had to get home, I felt a little bad we didn’t get much time to talk, even when it was me who asked her to come. I apologized for wasting her time, but she assured me it was fine and that we could meet again some-other time .
I…. may have been a little bit too happy when she said she'd come to visit , but Miss Samantha didn’t seem like she minded much, well she was a bit surprised. Sister Kate didn’t seem too happy about that, and Maraysa hasn’t spoken since the library. I can still feel her through my link though, she seems to be debating something . Unfortunately the link doesn’t quite let me read her mind her emotions are reflected on me. Though she hasn't said much I can tell she's taken aback from the house itself, the various halls and rooms are well furnished. I suppose it paints a stark contrast to what she's grown accustomed to. I remembered my first day in these hall myself, so it’s not like I don’t understand these feelings.
Sister Kate left for her chores and to find the three other roommates of mine, seems they still haven't returned yet. She seemed rather mad that the trio would miss an entire day. Id said goodbye to both of them and then went straight to bed as per their instructions, my little feinting spell seems to have worried them more than I thought.
Which brings things up to the present. I've gotten ready for a full night of rest. It'll be my second night here, I'm a little apprehensive of going to bed. If I have to go through another nightmare sequence again, I'd rather stay up all night. I lay down and stare at the ceiling, wondering what I'll be doing the day after. As my thoughts wonder about the day to come, I've already fallen asleep.
=========================================================
Double release in one day! Sort of...
the story is reallllllyyyy slow i get that, but it's the childhood arc so yea... maybe i should change the fantasy to slice of life at this point..
anyway if you guys have any suggestions to this story do feel free to comment!

The New World
An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated earth into its system. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills. This AI turned these concepts from fiction to fact. It's easy to become intoxicated with leveling up and becoming stronger. To some, it's too good to be true like living out a dream. For Daniel, however, it's closer to a nightmare. He's in a bit of a predicament. Cracks in our dimensional fabric have unleashed terrifying beasts from dark, abyssal places. Schema organizes these cracks into dungeons, giving the native species of the planet a chance to fight back. Daniel finds himself trapped in one of these dungeons. Not long after, he discovers there's only one way out. Kill or be killed. (Note: I am currently editing the story and I'm uploading those edits. It will take time to do this, so if you find a huge shift in the story's formatting, that's why. I'm steadily hammering away at it, but it's going to take time. Thanks for your understanding, if you're offering it.) This is a lit-RPG inspired by the Fallout series of games and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. Schedule: 2-3 releases a week of around 3,000 words. I have other fictions! *They're of questionable quality* Here's Monsters Dwell in Men If you want to support me and maybe see other content, check out my patreon: Patreon Here's my Youtube Channel as well, Monsoon117

>> Featured Staff Pick on Tapas.io! “Imagine someone who likes you so much, they make you like yourself.” Looking at sixteen-year-old Neo Favre, there isn't anything to point out that would explain him being heavily bullied. He has loving parents, a healthy amount of sibling rivalry to overcome every day. He can be funny, he is nice, he isn't an annoying know-it-all nerd. He's just like any other teenager attending Haven Highschool. Except one thing; Neo suffers from OCD, and his irky habits are solely the reason for his classmates to make fun of him. But as much as he tries to hide his annoying habits of counting literally everything, entering a class without touching the floor right in front of the first desk, tapping light button's to the beat of "we will rock you" and any other small tic, his fellow students know, and they use it to bully him endlessly. Neo just wants it all to end, but right when he worked up the guts to put his actions where his mouth is, Calo show's up to save the day, and maybe his week. And who knows, maybe even his life.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
