"Ray, psst... Wake up buddy..."
A few minor pokes to Ray's forehead netted a weak response.
"Nghhh, just 5 more minutes mom..."
"No, no, no. You're getting up now dude. Come on."
"I don't have school today, just let me sleep..."
"Fine, you want the hard way? Let's do this the hard way then..."
Splash! A bucket of icy cold water splashed onto Ray's face and shocked him wide awake.
"GAH! WHO!? WHA...where...uh..."
"Morning sleepyhead!"
"...Goddammit Bob."
"Nice to see you too."
Looking around, Ray noticed that he was lying down on a bed of flowers and grass. There was a stream flowing right next to them with 2 buckets laid out on the ground but more importantly there was a large tree, it wasn't just large but huge, stretching out to the sky with it's branches covering almost the entire area.
"...Woah."
"Yyyyyup..."
"Where are we?"
"No clue, all I remember was we passed out after eating those delicious apples and then we woke up here."
"Same..."
Those apples...they were something else for sure. I have this absurd craving for them now but first we need to find out more about what this place is.
"I guess let's try walking around and see if we can get out of here. I want to check if Tutorial Town has room. Bob you go check that way I'll go this way."
"Roger that buddy."
The two went their separate ways, Ray headed down river the stream with Bob going the other way.
While whistling and walking, Ray admired his beautiful surroundings.
"Mmmm, such a relaxing place...I could get used to this."
A few moments of walking later, Ray spotted a person far off in the distance.

"Oh! Hey there! Do you know where we are!?"
...
A familiar response.
"Ray?! Is that you?! The fuck?!"
It was Bob, but that was impossible. They both went their separate ways and now they're meeting up again?
"I don't know how but we somehow ended up back here..."
"Back where?"
"Dude, look."
"...Oh."
Right back where they started, the two looked up and saw the same tree, the same flowers, the same spots of grass that were flattened by their bodies and the buckets that they left behind.
"...Right."
"Mmmhm..."
The two stood there, confused. Their thoughts however were interrupted by a loud rumbling sound, they were hungry.
"Oh god, I'm starving and I seriously could have a bite of those apples..."
"Bob, I think we have other things to worry about besides fo-"
Ray cut his sentence short as he looked towards the great tree, the shadow of a child was prancing around freely.
"Psst, Bob. A person."
"Maybe he can show us the way out of here?"
"Dunno, let's go check it out."
They walked for a good 10 minutes, the river was clearly out of sight and they didn't know that this tree was that far away.
"FINALLY! UGHHH..."
"Why...is there no fast travel...or auto walk...BUH."
"I could...use a drink..."
"You and me both..."
"Tea!"
"Oh, thanks."
"Yeah, thanks"
The two drank their drinks in silence...then it hit them, who was she?
"Hello, I'm Maya!"
"...Hello?" x2

Saga of the Soul Dungeon
When Caden dies in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. The problem with that? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has share mind-space with it. And that doesn't take into account mastering his new abilities well enough to escape from the powerful wizard that is, understandably, leery about allowing a dungeon to escape. Even after he manages to escape he needs to found and manage a dungeon. Of course the location he chose might have a few issues of its own. He is on the border of two human nations who are not particularly pleased to share. A sentient plant race claims the dungeon as sacred ground. And, amidst the chaos, teams of adventurers just want to make a living and figure out how to deal with the latest challenge. Just so readers know, Caden is not a murder-hobo.

The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.
