《Let's Form a Party to Kill God》Elise

“That girl...well, she's got some serious skills ya'know?”
Kynos nodded slowly. Ever since Elise entered the room, he had sensed constant activation of magic. He had no idea what it meant, as it wasn't having any effect on him.
Eliza sprung up. “Alright! Let's go outside for some show and tell.”
Kynos followed the mother/daughter pair, who looked like sisters, out of the fancy mansion that served as Eliza's house, and entered into a spacious field looking for all the world like a bizarre park. Several different trees grew in impossible ways as vines that would have long since killed those trees coexisted with them, twining around their branches. Flowers actively bloomed and withered, roots floating in the water, and not a single animal could be seen. A large mound of soil was piled in the middle of the area, near a deep hole.
Eliza casually dug her hand into a small pouch on her waist and threw the contents, what looked like several seeds and bulbs, into the hole.
“Okay Kynos, show me what you got!”
A variety of plant creatures crawled out of the hole, including a shrub bristling with purple thorns, a tangle of vines that waved tentacles menacingly while slithering along the dirt, a stunted, grayish tree with 3 holes making a face that looked like it was having a hard time living, and what appeared to be a giant apple with tiny feet. Kynos prepared himself for combat.
He had invented a new way to use his magic, after listening to Mith musing dreamily about one day having metal sticks that spewed deadly missiles and metal tubes that exploded into city-destroying fires.
Kynos created a large mass of shadow, extending them into long and hollow tubes. Then, he created a fireball in a shadow furnace that fed into those tubes, which extended to stab into each plant creature.

While fending off a few vines and thorns, he exploded flames through the tubes, immolating the creatures from within. He had planned to use the trick on monsters that needed to be destroyed from the inside.
The creatures collapsed, smoldering or outright blazing, and Eliza clapped her hand excitedly.
“Ooooh, Roland was right! You ARE worth training. Sweetie, show him that it won't so easy!”
Elise wrung her hand together, “b...but mother...”
“No buts! I can't afford to have my own girl not do anything after seeing that!”
The girl lowered her head, but stepped forward obediently. She raised a single finger to point at the dying plant monsters.
“Rise.”

In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.

A thousand years have passed since the signing of the Pact: an historic agreement between the nations of the Pactlands to work for the betterment of the whole. But in recent years, the Empire of Vector has been growing more bold, submitting a claim for the long-contested Disputed Lands. When a young and inexperienced noblewoman ventures into the anarchic territories the residents call the Free Lands in an effort to discover what Vector is plotting, the last thing she expected to find was a City of Wonders. On a fateful summer morning, the Vancouver Island town of Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada finds itself and its very residents thrust sideways from the world they know to the medieval Pactlands: a world ruled by a shadowy council of mages and governed by the laws of steel and influence. Cut off from their own world, the residents of this small cottage town are thrust knee-deep into the political, humanitarian and martial turmoil suffered by the residents of the Free Lands. Staring down the threat of the Vectoran claimant force, the hidden machinations of the High Magus Council, and desperately seeking the allies and resources they need to maintain their way of life, the residents of Ladysmith must use everything they have at their disposal to survive and claim their own place in a world they were not born to. Magic, intrigue and eight thousand Canadians. What could go wrong? Updates every Tuesday and Thursday.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER -- In Cory Doctorow’s wildly successful Little Brother, young Marcus Yallow was arbitrarily detained and brutalized by the government in the wake of a terrorist attack on San Francisco—an experience that led him to become a leader of the whole movement of technologically clued-in teenagers, fighting back against the tyrannical security state.A few years later, California's economy collapses, but Marcus’s hacktivist past lands him a job as webmaster for a crusading politician who promises reform. Soon his former nemesis Masha emerges from the political underground to gift him with a thumbdrive containing a Wikileaks-style cable-dump of hard evidence of corporate and governmental perfidy. It’s incendiary stuff—and if Masha goes missing, Marcus is supposed to release it to the world. Then Marcus sees Masha being kidnapped by the same government agents who detained and tortured Marcus years earlier.Marcus can leak the archive Masha gave him—but he can’t admit to being the leaker, because that will cost his employer the election. He’s surrounded by friends who remember what he did a few years ago and regard him as a hacker hero. He can’t even attend a demonstration without being dragged onstage and handed a mike. He’s not at all sure that just dumping the archive onto the Internet, before he’s gone through its millions of words, is the right thing to do.Meanwhile, people are beginning to shadow him, people who look like they’re used to inflicting pain until they get the answers they want. Fast-moving, passionate, and as current as next week, Homeland is every bit the equal of Little Brother—a paean to activism, to courage, to the drive to make the world a better place.
