This is the worst.
Well, it isnt that bad, i could still be in that limbo of feeling-not-feeling, but-,
oh shut up, this is horrible in a whole other way.
I wanna move.
Move about, feel the leaves that have fallen, feel the dew on the blades of grass, feel the creepy crawling creatures climbing, whatever!
But if i move...
will i still be found?
That girl...
i know its a girl since her hands were so small.
I think.
It might just be a child in general, but whatever!
If i move, she, he, she might not find me.
...i have yet to think about what will happen once she does find me.
I just want to feel her warmth.
...
that sounds really wierd and i didnt mean for it to come off in that way.
But this boredom is really killing me.
Whats worse, being able to do nothing or being able to do something and still doing nothing?
Im still expanding underground, by the bye.
Not that thats any important.
I felt a few tree-roots.
Some tried to fight me, others made an alliance with me.
I dont know how or why i remember it, but i think the ladder was called a mycorrhiza or something.
The former made me a parasite.
Well, its their fault for rejecting my advances, and...
...
that sounds wierd as well.
Goddamnit.
Maybe im just wierd in general?
No, that cant be.
Anyhow.
Thanks to these symbioses, ive succesfully grown, well, large.
How large?
No idea.
My mind doesnt feel streched, and instead i feel a kind of relieving fullne-,
what was that?
...
there it was again.
Is there something...
sniffing my arm?
Oh lord, no.
I can feel a heavy thumping up above.
Its not the little girl.
What is this?
This is scary.

I dont like this.
The thumping draws closer.
I feel like shivering.
Dont touch my-,
it sniffed it.
It totally did.
Oh, god.
Its sniffing my arm.
It has a heavy, moist breath.
Di-,
did it just lick me?
Its tounge was like... like sandpaper.
Please dont do it aga-,
it did again.
Dont eat me.
Please.
I dont think im edible.
I think im a fungus.
Oh, god, do cats eat fungi?
This is a cat, right?
Its too big to be one, though.
Mountain-lion?
Lynx?
Do i care?
No, as long as i dont die, i dont care in the least.
It keeps licking.
Stop.
Please.

8 4820Old Man's Adventure
A plane flying over the Atlantic Ocean suddenly loses power and prepares to make a water landing. Yet as they crash into the ocean the passengers suddenly find themselves on land. A message greets them, stating that a System has taken over the world and that monsters will begin to spawn in two hours. Due to their circumstances, they have been transported to a special zone, away from the rest of civilization. Amongst the passengers is an old man named Frank Wolfe. At seventy-nine years old, his best days are far behind him. But when the System arrives, he realizes that regaining his youth is possible. The System might bring devastation to the population, but for Frank, it's a chance to have a second go at life in this new world. If he and his fellow passengers can survive, that is. Author's note: I am also participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge :)
8 503Void Breaker
Note: Sadly, this story is currently on hiatus :( Elizabeth Sayler had lost everything in the bombing of Reaver Stadium. Her career, her fame, her power — all of it vanished the moment she lost use of her legs. Now, she's beginning to lose hope of ever healing herself… until her world integrates into the Void. When the apocalypse comes in a flurry of System messages, everyone on earth is given a choice: give up what they value most in themselves, and acquire a path to their heart’s greatest desire. Most would hesitate, but for Liz? She has nothing to lose, and absolutely everything to gain. Armed with newfound powers in a world teeming with monsters, she’s determined to not only survive, but to somehow break the Void’s endless assault. * * * This is a small note about the portrayal of disability in this story. As much research as I do and as many people as I ask, I will in the end only be able to understand a small portion of paraplegia and similar disabilities. Therefore, if there is anything particularly disrespectful, please do not hesitate to contact me. I always intended to portray disability in a respectful way in this story, but please know that Liz as a character does not start out with a healthy view of disability. This is intentional, and a large part of her character development comes from this view changing as she learns. Disability is not something she simply "discards" at the beginning of the story, but an ongoing theme and a part of her journey.

8 208Vampire Reborn
In a polluted world where humans ruined the planet, Ren Silver, a man who had been on the bottom his entire life climbed up the social ladder and followed his dreams no matter who put him down. After putting his soul, blood, sweat, and tears, his path led him to greatness, becoming the number 1 streamer and VR gamer in the world. His life took a major turn. And, after receiving early access to THE major game-changing update by the developers, things were looking up for him even more. What awaited him was something truly special that no man would have dreamed of... One much darker than he would have ever expected... [ Greetings Ren Silver… You have proven yourself worthy without a shadow of a doubt… Welcome to your NEW REALITY... ] *****************************IMPORTANT AUTHOR NOTE! This post was made by #NoHaremGang! Although the synopsis and the first few chapters make it sound like one, THIS IS NOT A VRMMO NOVEL. This is a proper Isekai! This will be a MALE LEAD novel, despite the cover. There will be romance however later down the line, and the person in the cover will be the main love interest! The Novel's MC will not be a very moral guy. He is not a hero! He will value logic and reasoning over most of his decisions and values his own survival! There will be some romance later on but probably not a lot of it! The first few chapters are slow and set up the world so don't let that deter you, because the action is not too far from there! I hope you guys enjoy the novel! There will also be original art on specific chapters! So keep an eye out for those! ;) *****************************
