《Your name is Pyrecilla Abronova》3-1

The dream that came to you was something you didn't want to see.
All throughout today you tried your best,
you probably knew that you wouldn’t succeed.
“I would just go to see.” A memory pops.
“I should say something positive to her.” You hear your voice.
“There are going to be some consequences.” Something tells you.
You acted as if there were no distortions, no middle man.
But the reality for you was different.
No matter how much you wanted to escape, you fell into the trap.
“Everything here is happening just like in the novel?” You asked yourself.
“I saw this scene already.” You noticed.
“I should help her, that’s what a normal person would do.” You decided.
“There is no way that this…” You lamented.
“I will prove that I can control my own destiny. You shouted.
It was simply too naive and quick to think you could simply live your life here.
At every step and word, you were reminded that you were in fact inside of a novel.
“Did you really have to do that, Minorta?” Someone said.
“You need to be careful not to break any books here, Minorta. They are full of love, like people’s hearts.” Another said.
“To be happy for them? What do you mean Minorta?” A girl’s voice echoes.
“You have to understand, killing is not the solution!” A scream filled your find.
“I will hold onto…you.” A sound lingers.
You knew that the world around you was fated towards one direction.
That no matter what you did you couldn't prevent events from happening.
“This is your hopelessness.” Someone tells you.
That no matter what you did you knew what was going to happen.
That no matter what you did you were an outsider, a reader,

perhaps an observer, but definitely not an actor.
“Do you feel like others are able to tell you better how you feel?” A voice reminds you.
“I wanted to help Ellien.” You explain. “But in reality I was helping myself.”
You wanted the story to change you, to tell you what is the right thing to do.
“I will protect her, I promise.” Another voice mentions.
“No Minorta, I tried to protect myself.” You answer. “I tried to prove that I could control my destiny. That is why I came with you.”
You wanted to be able to change the story to suit your needs.
“Okay, but don’t do anything dangerous, okay?” Yet another voice.
“What I was really afraid that I couldn’t.” You utter. “I knew from the start that no one would die. I faked my fear.”
You wanted to become a person who protects her friends, a normal person.
Your new life is precious, isn’t it?
You don’t want to lose it, right?
You want to continue on living, no?
“I will hold onto…”
The line repeats itself.
But in the end you were reminded of your place.
The spirits told you that you don’t belong here.
They made you fear that the truth about you can be revealed.
But lucky for you it wasn’t, not yet at least.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Shadow Emperor
This is one of my side projects. It is about a young innocent boy, who has some mishap happening at the date of his birth. Through circumstances he is forced to strenghten himself. His fate was decided long ago, and this story is just the journey to his fate. It is very xianxia/xuanhuan-esque, with some Western elements mixed in. It is a cultivation novel, and it will have gore, sexual depictions, but to an extent. Most of the time it is either fun or exciting, as you will see an innocent boy's rise to the Emperor of the Shadows..
